28、dwhenshewasjustababy.livewithhergrandparentsinNovaScotia,Canadawhenshewasfive”可知,毕肖普主要是由祖父母带大的。2.B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Shewrotetonsandtonsofletterstobothofthem,whichisgoodforusbecausewewouldotherwiseknowverylittleofherpersonallife”可知,毕肖普与穆尔和洛威尔的书信为人们提供了毕肖普日常生活方面的信息,因此这些书信很重要。3.C细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,毕肖普创作诗歌的时候精
29、益求精,力求完美。本段中的“untiltheywereasclosetoperfectasshecouldgetthem”是最关键的线索。4.A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Sheleadsustoamicroscopesowecanseeeverysmallestpartofthescene”和“Itseemsshesalways.thatstoobright”可知,毕肖普的诗歌讲究精准到位。【篇章导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了电影行业中的特技替身这一高危职业。5.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Hewashiredtostandinforactorswhenascenecarriesreal
30、riskorrequiresspecialskills”及下面给出的例子可知,Rementer被雇用来给演员做特技替身。6.C推理判断题。根据第三段中的“moststuntperformersknowhowtosafelyfallfromgreatheights.Manyhavesportsbackgrounds”及下文给出的例子可知,文中提到的几位电影特技表演者都具有体育背景,所以他们都是经过高度专业化培训的特技替身。7.B词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Daysonsetcanbelongandhard”和表转折的连词but可知,Rementer很爱他的工作,但是这项工作并不“吸引人”,因为在
31、片场的时间既长又辛苦。8.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Butwhenyouredoingthingslikeridingwiresintoconcretewalls,youregoingtofeelit.Youjusthavetobereadytogetupandgoagain”可知,Rementer要时刻做好跌倒再爬起来继续工作的准备,由此可见,他具有职业水准。二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。作者喜欢摄影,尤其喜欢拍摄野马。多次拍摄野马的经历不仅让作者了解了野马的天性,而且意识到野马应该自由自在地生活在大自然中。1.C由下文中的“Ihadwantedtoseeand2them”以及“bei

33、ish符合语境。4.D由上文中的“Ihadwantedtoseeand2them”以及下文中的“Onourfirstvisit”可知,非常“幸运(lucky)”,朋友请“我”和他一起去看阿尔伯塔省的野马。那是一次奇妙的“经历(experience)”。5.B见上题解析。6.D由上文中的tosee以及本句中的ourfirstvisit可知,我们第一次去那儿“见到(saw)”100多匹野马。7.B由下文中的Suddenly可知,“我”没有“注意到(realize)”有一匹马驹在树后面睡觉。8.A由上文中的“ayounghorsewassleepingbehindatree”以及本句中的Sudden
34、ly和“jumpedupandjuststoodthere”可知,突然,那匹马驹“醒来了(awoke)”。9.D由下文中的“AsIwasphotographinghim”以及“Theyounghorsedidntseemtounderstandwhathewasbeingtold.”可知,马驹站在那里“让(allowing)”“我”给它拍照。10.B由“asifwarningtheyounghorse,11,getaway!”以及下文中的“bythehorsebeingclosetome”可知,种马注意到马驹离“我”很“近(close)”。他似乎在警告马驹,“有危险(Danger),离开这里!
35、”。11.C见上题解析。12.A由“Theyounghorsedidntseemtounderstandwhathewasbeingtold”可知,那匹马驹一直都没“动(move)”,直到母马来“接(get)”它。13.C见上题解析。14.B由本句中的“Ididntfeelunsafeatallbythehorsebeingclosetome”可知,“我”“一直(kept)”拍摄。15.C由上文中的“Onetime,whiletakingphotosofaherdofaround30horses”以及本句中的Anothertime可知,有一次,“我”“试图(managed)”拍摄一匹欢腾的马驹
