55、 road”比较贴切。A项“公交车上的安静女士”太片面；C项“坐公交车去上班”在文章中没有提到；D项“不同种类的友谊”不合题意。故选B项。2C细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“Wheres the silent woman who sits up front”可知，这位女士很安静，故排除D项；根据第二段的“Her worn clothing suggests she doesnt have much money to spare”可知，这位女士很穷，故排除A项；根据第二段的“but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.”可知
56、这位女士是热心肠的，故排除B项。故选C项。3B词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus.”可知，由于在公交车上的这位女士很沉默，所以作者和他的妻子都很悲哀地觉得无法跟坐在公交车前面的这位女士建立友谊。故可知画线单词的含义为“建立，确立”。 故选B项。4D细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的“we learned the situation of a
57、 single mother with a disabled son who”可知，这位女士有一个残疾的儿子；并根据倒数第二段的“even though he doesnt express it very wellWe dont say what we want to say”可知，他们不能说他们想说的话，所以他们都在表达上有困难。故选D项。B【文章大意】 本文主要介绍了音乐对孩子的发展的诸多好处，建议在学校里要把音乐当成一门学科对孩子进行教育。5B细节理解题。根据第一段“People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making
58、 music also lets children use their imagination.”可知，音乐让学生更聪明主要是因为音乐可以提高他们的课堂技能和想象力。故B正确。6C词义猜测题。根据本句“Parents can enjoy listening to their childrens music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen.”可知，这一段都是在叙述学习音乐的好处。学习音乐可以让学生专注于音乐而不是沉溺于电脑、电视，所以该词应该表示C项含义。7D段落大意题。根据本段第一句“Music builds se
59、lfconfidence, too.”可知，本段主要叙述的是学习音乐可以提高学生的自信心。故D正确。8A主旨大意题。根据文章第一句“The arts, especially music, should be part of every schools lessons at every grade level.”可知，本文主要叙述的是音乐应该成为每个学校每个年级的一门课程，因为音乐对孩子的发展有很多好处。故A正确。C【文章大意】 对于年长的人来说，一些新的科技对他们来说太复杂了而不能得到充分利用。但是与朋友保持联系是很必要的，于是作者为老年人专门设计了一些应用程序。在本文中作者也对老年人和青少年
60、对电话、网络等的使用进行了比较。9B推理判断题。文章首段提到电脑的一些应用程序对老年人来说很复杂，然后在第二段提出“I think there is huge potential, so I have designed some for them.”，由此推断作者是一名编程人员，故选B项。10D细节理解题。根据文章第三段“She was born with normal hearing, but lost it when she was three years old. She was totally deaf for many years until 53 when she got ear
61、implants(移植)her friends couldnt call her on the phone, so they insisted that she use emails”可知他妻子喜欢用邮件的原因是她曾经失聪多年，听不到别人讲电话，故选D项。11C细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The younger people dont even think of this as technology. Its just there, and they use it.”可知年轻人认为网络是非常常见的东西，故选C项。12D细节理解题。根据文章末段“When they call they oft
62、en pause for a while. On the other hand, texting is considered proper, and its OK if you dont answer.”可知青少年喜欢发信息，故选D项。D【文章大意】 本文向读者介绍了一部小说夏洛特的网，讲述了蜘蛛和小猪两种不同的动物成为好朋友，蜘蛛救了小猪的命，却献出了自己的生命的故事。13D细节理解题。根据第三段“She is very, very loving under that crusty(暴躁)，that ugly look”得知蜘蛛夏洛特虽然长相丑陋但是非常有爱心，爱帮助朋友。故选D项。14C细
63、节理解题。根据第四段得知电影制片商想要一个快乐的结尾，但作者坚持蜘蛛最后死去，认为死亡是生命的一部分。故选C项。15C推理判断题。根据末段“By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a little. God knows anyones life can stand a little of that.”可知，夏洛特的意思是通过帮助别人而献出生命是值得的。故选C项。第二节1620BGDCE.【文章大意】 滳水之恩，当涌泉相报。这句话在本文中得到了很好地验证。本文讲述了一个爱的传播的故事。21Cbeg for向要，也可以用ask
64、 for，其他答案不合语境。22Bwhensuddenly/at that moment。23D通过文章内容可知小男孩当时是饿了(hungry)，上文已经有提示。24A本想讨一顿饭，但看到开门的是一位美丽的年轻女士时，他改口讨一杯水。也许是出于男人的尊严，当着她的面，他很有可能是慢慢地有绅士风度地喝。故选A。25Crepliedanswered。26B年轻女士在小男孩需要帮助的时候帮助了他，这当然是一种善意的行为。27A上文已经交代了小男孩是饿了，所以是身体上的强壮。28D下文“nowwas called in for the consultation.”给出了提示。29B由上文的“Where
65、 specialists can be callto study her rare disease.”可以判断。30C由后面的eyes可以推断。此时，Kelly马上想起孩提时的那一件印象很深的事。31Arose(rise的过去式)在此处的意思是“起身”；D项后加宾语才对。32Dbe dressed in为常见搭配，wear后直接接宾语。33Arecognize意为“认出”。know知道。34Cdetermine to do sth意为“下决心做某事”。其他答案不合逻辑。35Aspecial attention是“特殊的照顾”，表达了Kelly对那位女士的感激之情。36C由上文的rare dis
66、ease可以判断。37Brequestto do sth要求做某事。38C女士根据自己的病情推断费用一定很昂贵。39Ccatch ones attention意为“引起某人的注意”。40D由“Thank you，God.”可以知道答案。pray祈祷。.41. who/that42.But43. a44. hid45.
