57、析：选A推理判断题。根据祖孙两人对话的前半部分可知，小孩不喜欢蔬菜而喜欢油炸圈饼。故选A。2解析：选D推理判断题。虽然孩子开始对蔬菜不感兴趣，但是却对那些秧苗感兴趣，这是因为他看到了自己的劳动成果。故选D。3解析：选D推理判断题。祖父的话表明有时会有好收成有时却没有。故选D。 语篇解读：一位一战黑人士兵100年后获得奥巴马总统的认可。4解析：选D推理判断题。通读全文可知，一战黑人士兵Henry Johnson的英勇行为在将近100年以后的今天才获得认可，奥巴马总统亲自颁发勋章。5解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段可知，Johnson在枪里没有子弹以后还继续战斗，而不是没有武器徒手与敌人战斗，所以
58、A是错误的；Johnson受了20多处伤，但一直坚持战斗，所以B项是错误的；从第三段前半句里的“praised by his fellow soldiers”可知，C项是正确的；从后半句可知，the Medal of Honor是美国的一种勋章，法国授予Johnson的是the French Croix de Guerre，所以D项是错误的。6解析：选A推理判断题。根据画线句子中的starts and stops以及第六段的例子可知，让Johnson得到官方认可这项工作困难重重，极其不顺利，所以A选项最符合题意。7解析：选B推理判断题。根据第一段最后的“because of racial di
59、scrimination”以及倒数第二段的“As a black soldier”可看出，造成Johnson受到不公待遇的根本原因是种族歧视，故选B项。语篇解读：一些城市开始把堆肥作为一种处理垃圾的有效方法。8解析：选C细节理解题。第一段第二句提到运送垃圾到填埋场耗费燃料，加剧气候变暖，这是运送垃圾的弊端，显然不是堆肥的益处。9解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可判断A是正确的；B选项中的only是错误的；在纽约，worm composing是composting pilot program的一个项目，但没提到是the best way，所以C项错误；本段只是列举了几个实行堆肥的城市，并不
60、说明世界各地都这么做，所以D项错误。10解析：选C代词指代题。worm composting是指蚯蚓吃了废物，废物经过蚯蚓的身体变成肥料，所以“it”这里指“the waste”。11解析：选B段落大意题。第三段举例说明堆肥过程中存在的问题，所以选择B项。没提到“未来的发展前景”，故排除A项；这里只是列举了反对观点，C项中的“Peoples opinions”太笼统；本段最后一句是说人们很难总是记住垃圾分类，这并不是堆肥对人们生活的不良影响，所以D项的表述是片面的。语篇解读：战争的双方签署了和平条约，就真正意味着战争的结束吗？12解析：选A细节理解题。从第二段中的“When forces ar
61、e evenly matched, or nearly so, fighting can last for months or years”可知，当交战的双方势均力敌的时候，战争会持续更长的时间。13解析：选C段落大意题。通读本段可知，作者在本段列举了两个例子说明了，尽管战争的双方签署了和平条约，但是这并非真正意味着战争的结束，有时候会因为某一方的忽视而导致更多的战争。14解析：选A推理判断题。从第一段中的“In modern times, complicated conflicts often call for a more detailed resolution than a simple
62、 treaty.” 以及最后一段中的“In modern times, war rarely ends with a comprehensive peace treaty.”可知，在当今世界，和平条约对于真正消除战争所起到的作用并不是很大的。15解析：选C词义猜测题。由“for disregarding treaties it had previously signed with Native American tribes, and more battles resulted”可知，美国政府没有尊重先前与印第安人部落签署的条约，因此在国际上的声誉很不好。.1620BDGFC.语篇解读：文章介
