28、gantoincludemorevariety.charactersfromGreekandRomanmyths.”可知,文艺复兴时期的艺术逐渐包含更多种类。2.B细节理解题。由第五段中的“Visitorsshouldbesuretowearcomfortableshoes,asexploringthegallerytakesmanyhours.”可知,游客一定要穿着舒适的鞋子去参观,因为探索乌菲齐美术馆需要花好几个小时。3.A细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的“Forabreathoffreshair,wanderamongthestatuesandfountainsofthepalacegard
29、ens.”可知,游客在PittiPalace的花园里可以欣赏雕塑和喷泉。4.B标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了佛罗伦萨浓厚的艺术气息以及适合艺术爱好者去探索的众多博物馆,文章最后一句“Forartlovers,Florenceisindeedparadise.”也是对全文的总结,故B项作标题符合文章主旨。【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。5.D细节理解题。根据第二段末句“Iwasnaturallypleased.”可知,作者看到很多人站在自己的办公室门外,理所当然地认为自己编辑的农业报大获成功,感到非常高兴。6.C细节理解题。
30、根据文中作者和老先生的对话“Haveyouevereditedanagriculturalpaperbefore?No,Isaid.Thisismyfirsttry.”可知,作者对于编辑农业报毫无经验。7.B推理判断题。根据老先生在撕碎报纸前说的“Shakeyourgrandmother!Turnipsdontgrowontrees!”可知,老先生给作者读那篇文章是想指出作者的错误。8.B推理判断题。根据农业报编辑在最后一段一一指出作者的荒唐之处(牛换羽毛的季节、给蛤蜊奏乐就可以使它规规矩矩待着不动)并认为作者对农业一窍不通可知,他对作者非常不满。二、【篇章导读】本文是记叙文。作者是一名理发师
31、。经过两年的努力与坚持,作者帮助十岁的自闭症儿童JordieRowland克服了对理发的恐惧。1.B由第二段中的“Iendedupwalkingaroundtheshopwithhimthatday.”以及“stoppedthehaircut”可知,十岁的JordieRowland第一次来理发店理发,很不配合,未能成功理发,故选B项。disaster在此意为“彻底失败”。2.A由设空前的“whohasautism”以及下文的描述可知,Jordie一进理发店,就想“挣脱开(struggledwith)”父母跑出去。3.D“Igotinafewcuts”与“stoppedthehaircut”之间
32、是转折关系,故填but。4.B由上文中的“stoppedthehaircut”可知,“我”看出Jordie很“紧张(nervous)”。5.A由Jordie的表现可知,对于自闭症儿童来说,理发是“痛苦的(painful)”,Jordie也不例外。6.C由“stoppedthehaircut”和“Cuttinghaircanbe.forsomechildrenwithautism.nodifferent.”以及“soIcouldconnectwithhim”可知,“我”认为“我”“失败了(failed)”,这让“我”“想(want)”多了解自闭症。这样的话,“我”就能够理解Jordie,帮助他克
33、服对理发的“恐惧(fear)”。7.B见上题解析。8.C见第6题解析。9.D由第二段的描述可知,“我”第一次给Jordie理发“不成功(unsuccessful)”。10.C由上文中的“Hishairwaslong”和空后的“Idget.justgocrazy.”以及下文中的“ButIknewwehadtojustkeepgoing.”可知,“我”“不能(couldnever)”正常地理发。我剪几下,他就会发疯,那是一段“艰难的(hard)”时光。11.A见上题解析。12.D由下文的描述可知,此处表示“我”甚至去他家试了试,没成功,故填luck。13.A由下文中的“soonopenedmyow
34、nshop”可知,因为“我”让顾客在理发店关门停止营业后来理发,老板“惩罚了(punished)”“我”。“我”很失落,于是“辞掉了(left)”那份工作。14.B见上题解析。15.C由下文中的“Igavehimafullhaircutforthefirsttime.”以及“Twoweeks.letmedoitagain.”可知,每两周在“我”关门停止营业后,Jordie会“来(comeby)”理发店。几个星期以前,我们有了“进展(progress)。16.A见上题解析。17.D由下文中的“Helookedatmeasifheweremesmerized”以及Jordie以前理发时的发现可知,
35、“我”并不知道他“喜欢(into)”儿歌,“我”只是想让他“安静下来(calm)”。18.C见上题解析。19.B由上文中的“Igavehimafullhaircutforthefirsttime.”可知,“我”意识到我们长达两年的努力有了“回报(paidoff)”。20.D结合整篇文章以及第二段中的“soIcouldconnectwithhim”可知,此处表示“我”这样做是想增加对自闭症儿童的“理解(understanding)”。三、第一句:forgotforget第三句:hairshair;big前加a第四句:thinkthought第五句:latelater第六句:去掉of或ofthat;muchmany第七句:butand第八句:kindlykind;instantinstantly
