29、d to protecting三、阅读理解1.D细节理解题。根据第二段中的a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young可知，啄木鸟保护孩子不受猎食动物侵害是通过假装受伤，故选D项。2.B句意理解题。根据第五段最后一句可知，一位动物专家曾经看到一个输了的黑猩猩抓住获胜的黑猩猩的手又开始打斗了。因此画线句意思是：大猩猩也可能不诚实，故选B项。3.A细节理解题。根据第六段最后两句可知，一些聪明的黑猩猩在找到食物时学会了非常轻柔地叫。这样，其他黑猩猩就听不到它们的声音，它们也不需

30、要分享食物。故选A项。4.A标题归纳题。根据全篇文章的内容和第一段中Can they lie with their bodies and behavior？可知，这篇文章讲的是动物也会撒谎，故选A项。5.B 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Each delay filled him with hope that Fogg had to spend some days in Hong Kong.The weather helped him.”可知,每一次延迟都让Fix感到有希望让Fogg在香港多待几天。这天气帮助了他,也就是说延迟能提供给他更多的时间来调查Fogg。故选B项。6.D 推理判断题。由第四

31、段中的“He wanted to know exactly how long the storm was going to last.”可知,由于Fogg的仆人想确切地知道暴风雨还将持续多久,所以船长让他去看晴雨表。可以推知晴雨表可以显示天气的变化。故选D项。7.A 细节理解题。由文中的对话“Ought she not to have gone yesterday?”“Yes,sir,but one of her boilers needs repairing.”可知,Carnatic本来是昨天要去横滨的,但是一个锅炉坏了需要修,所以推迟到了明天。故选A项。8.C 推理判断题。根据故事情节,M

32、r.Fogg一直很担心天气的变化会影响到他们去横滨的船,最后得知船还没有离开,不会延误时特别激动。所以当他对船长说“Pilot,you are the best!”时船长肯定很疑惑,Carnatic是由于锅炉坏了没有离开,跟他有什么关系呢?故选C项。四、阅读七选五1D根据空后一句中的The term “slash career” 并结合语境可知，此处意在为slash career下定义，应选D。2F根据空前一句中的before the slash可知，本段中的前两句是在介绍斜杠前的主业；F项中的after the slash与空前一句中的before the slash相对应，F项介绍斜杠后的

33、副业，与空后一句相衔接，故F项符合语境。3G空前一句指出，一些支持从事斜杠职业的人认为斜杠职业可以帮助实现工作与生活的平衡。空处应是对该内容进行进一步的解释。 故G项符合语境。4C本段主要论述斜杠职业的弊端在于它会打破工作和生活之间的平衡，结合空后一句表述的一个人会因为从事斜杠职业而放弃自己的娱乐、锻炼及与家人在一起的时间可知，C项(从事不止一份工作能占满你的时间)符合语境。5B此空为段首句，结合文章结构可知此空应是对本段内容的概括。空后的内容表述拥有斜杠职业的话，失业不代表失去了所有的收入来源，副业成功的话甚至可以转为主业。由此可知，斜杠职业可以使人的生活更加稳定，故选B。第15页（共15页）
