67、ide someone elses head!告诉我们在阅读中，你可以听到角色的想法和感受，综上所述，第四段内容主要是列举了读书的好处。由此可推断出，作者是通过列举读书的好处来展开第四段内容的。故选A项。【45题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，作者主要是通过列举读书的好处来呼吁我们养成阅读的习惯。根据最后一段关键句“So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when youre waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee.”可知，作者呼吁我们尝试每天花费十五分钟时间阅读，在我们醒着的时候，要睡觉

But that is the case, according to a worldwide survey of more than 200 types of trees.(树木通常长得很强壮，这可能让人很难相信它们的内部很容易受到伤害。但根据一项针对200多种树木的全球调查，事实就是如此。)”尤其根据转折词but可以推断，事实上，树木并没有人们所认为的那么强壮，它们是很脆弱的。故选D。【47题详解
79、】词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“This tissue makes it possible for a tree to draw water from the ground and deliver it to the leaves.(这种组织使树木能够从地面吸取水分并将其输送到叶子中。)”中“draw water from the ground”可猜测，这里的it代指前面的water，即“将水分输送到叶子中”。故选C。【48题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Choat said that this study is the first to look at all forest types a

94、图书馆合作，拒绝授予图书馆电子书的许可，使电子借阅经济难以预料。【51题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的“but many publishers are too cautious about piracy(盗版)and lost sales to co-operate.”可知，大多数出版商对盗版和失去销售过于谨慎，不愿与图书馆合作。分析选项可知，C正确，故选C。【52题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Electronic borrowing is awfully convenient. Unlike printed books, which must be checked out and r
95、eturned to a physical library miles from where you live， book files can be downloaded at home.” 电子借阅非常方便。与印刷版书籍不同，电子书籍文件在家就可以下载，而不需要去离家几英里外的实体图书馆借阅和还书。可知，电子借阅非常方便，因此推断，出版商担心人们会转向图书借阅是因为图书销售可能会因为方便的电子借阅而急剧下降，故选A。【53题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Yet publishers and libraries are worried by Over Drives global marke
96、t dominance, as the company can control fees and conditions. ”然而出版商和图书馆担心Overdrive在全球市场的主导地位，因为该公司可以控制费用和条件。由此可推断出Over Drive对市场的主导控制感到担忧，对市场的控制威胁到出版商和图书馆，故答案为C。【54题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Late last year Amazon introduced its Kindle Owners Lending Library, which lets its best customers borrow free one of th

98、问题。“I wish that in one instant I could tell you of my safe arrival, but we are 3,000 miles apart and must wait for long weeks to hear from each other.” Samuel Morse was 20 when he wrote this sentence in a letter to his mother in 1811. He was in London studying art. She was at the home in Charlestown
99、, Mass, USA, where he had been born. Perhaps it was at the moment of writing the letter that young Morse first had the desire to bridge space with flying words. This desire was later to give the world the electric telegraph.Samuel returned in 1815 to work on history painting much admired in Europe.
100、Morse completed an oil painting The House of Representatives, expecting that this would bring him fame. But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits. He was often close to poverty during his career as a
101、n artist.During a voyage from Europe to America in 1832, Morse met Thomas Jackson, a scientist who had recently attended lectures on electricity in Paris. Conversations with Jackson made the artist believe that an electrical current could be used for communication. During the rest of the voyage he w
102、orked excitedly on drawings for his plan. After his arrival at home, he abandoned his artistic career to give his full attention to the project.Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention. In 1837 he applied for a patent on T

106、s in a field, one must work hard and have interest in it.【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了享有盛誉的美国画家、电报之父塞缪尔莫尔斯。【56题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段的But there was hardly any demand in the United Stated for history painting, and he unwillingly started to support himself by painting portraits.可知，但当时美国对历史绘画几乎没有什么需求，于是他不情愿地开始靠画肖像画来养活自己。
107、由此可知，1815年莫尔斯从欧洲回来后发现了美国人对历史绘画兴趣不大。故填Americans had little interest in history painting.【57题详解】词句猜测题。根据Morse had an fertile mind but little knowledge of electricity. He did years of work and study to perfect his invention.(莫尔斯有fertile思想，但对电学却知之甚少。他做了多年的工作和研究，以完善他的发明)以及上下文对于他成就的描述可推知，他是一个聪明，有创造精神的人。故填
108、Creative/Clever/Original/inventive.【58题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段段意“在1832年从欧洲到美国的航行中，莫尔斯遇到了托马斯杰克逊，一位最近在巴黎参加过关于电力讲座的科学家。与杰克逊的对话让这位艺术家相信电流可以用于交流”可知，第三段主要讲的是莫尔斯是如何有他的发明构思的。故填How Morse got the idea for his invention.【59题详解】推理判断题。根据全文可知，作者是按照时间的先后顺序叙述的。故填In order of time.【60题详解】推理判断题。根据塞缪尔莫尔斯的生活经历可知，要想在某一领域取得成功，就必须努
