5．________small,thecompanyhasabout1，000buyersinover30countries.

A.AsB.If

C．AlthoughD．Once

5．C　考查狀語從句中連接詞的用法。由句中的small和1000buyers以及30countries可推知，前后分句為轉(zhuǎn)折關系，需用引導讓步狀語從句的連詞，故選C。as因為，雖然(需要用倒裝)；if如果；although盡管，雖然；once一旦。句意：雖然很小，但這家公司在30多個國家里有大約1，000個購買方。

6．Wehavelaunchedanotherman-madesatellite，________isannouncedintoday'snewspaper.

A.thatB.which

C．whoD．what

6．B　考查定語從句中關系代詞的用法。此句的先行詞代指前面整個句子，且是非限制性定語從句，需用which引導。that不引導非限制性定語從句。句意：我們已經(jīng)發(fā)射了另一顆人造衛(wèi)星，這在今天的報紙上宣布了。

9．Noone________bemoregenerous;hehasaheartofgold.

A.couldB.must

C．dareD．need

9．A　考查情態(tài)動詞。后一句說他有一顆金子般的心，前句表達的是“沒人比他更慷慨”；此句是“否定詞＋形容詞的比較級”相當于形容詞的最高級。句意：沒人比他更慷慨了；他有一顆金子般的心。

10．Insomelanguages，100wordsmakeuphalfofallwords________indailyconversations.

A.usingB.touse

C．havingusedD．used

10．D　考查非謂語動詞。空格前的allwords與use構(gòu)成邏輯上的動賓關系，需用過去分詞作后置定語。句意：在一些語言里，100個單詞組成了日常會話里用的所有的單詞的一半。

11．Itwasnotuntilneartheendoftheletter________shementionedherownplan.

A.thatB.where

C．whyD．when

11．A　考查強調(diào)句型。此句為notuntil…句型的強調(diào)句式，故答案為that。句意：直到快接近信的結(jié)尾處她才提到了她自己的計劃。

12．Atourfactorythereareafewmachinessimilarto________describedinthismagazine.

A.themB.these

C．thoseD．ones

12．C　考查代詞。句中比較的是machines，是復數(shù)名詞，可用those或ones代替。再根據(jù)空格后的過去分詞短語作后置定語修飾這一代詞，故表示的是特指，用those。ones表示的是泛指。句意：在我們廠里，有一些類似于這本雜志里描述的那些機器。

13．Thewatersupplyhasbeencutofftemporarilybecausetheworkers________oneofthemainpipes.

A.hadrepairedB.haverepaired

C．repairedD．a(chǎn)rerepairing

13．D　考查動詞的時態(tài)。句意：水供應被暫時切斷了，因為工人們正在修其中的一根主水管。根據(jù)句意可知，表示現(xiàn)在正在進行的動作，用現(xiàn)在進行時。

14．IfhehadspentmoretimepractisingspeakingEnglishbefore,he________abletospeakitmuchbetternow.

A.willbeB.wouldbe

C．hasbeenD．wouldhavebeen

14．B　考查虛擬語氣。if從句中的hadspent暗示從句是與過去事實相反的，而主句中的now暗示主句是與現(xiàn)在事實相反，故用woulddo。句意：如果他以前多花點時間練習英語口語，他現(xiàn)在就能說得好多了。

15.________IwanttotellyouisthedeeploveandrespectIhaveformyparents.

A.ThatB.Which

C．WhetherD．What

15．D　考查名詞性從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此句的謂語是is，其前是主語從句，故用what引導名詞性從句。句意：我想告訴你的是我對我父母深深的愛和尊敬。

【要點綜述】本文是一篇科普文。主要介紹了城市的光污染對日常生活、天文學家的工作以及動物的生活都產(chǎn)生了消極的影響。在Flagstaff，Arizona已經(jīng)采取了燈光管理措施。

41．A　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“…sobrightenedbythecity'slightsthatitdarkenedthelightofthemeteorspassingoverhead.”可知，昨天晚上由于城市的燈光太亮，影響了人們觀看流星。故選A。

43．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段第一、二句“…thatsuffersevenmorefromlightpollution.Thispopulationconsistsofbirds,bats,frogs,snakes,etc.”以及本段最后一句“…100millionbirdsayearthroughout…dieincrasheswithlightedbuildingsandtowers.”可知，第四段作者主要敘述的是動物也受到了光污染的影響，甚至它們的生存也受到了影響。故選D。

44．B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段第二句“…h(huán)asenforcedlightingregulationsinitscityinordertoassistastronomersat…”可知，這條規(guī)定是為了給天文學家的工作創(chuàng)造理想的觀察條件。故選B。

45．C　主旨大意題。根據(jù)整篇文章的敘述，作者主要描述了城市的光污染對生活、工作以及動物造成的影響，因此作者在文中呼吁我們?nèi)祟惖幕顒討�該對環(huán)境有利。故選C。

【要點綜述】本文是一篇記敘文。主要通過作者的經(jīng)歷向讀者解釋了一個生活哲理：在實現(xiàn)目標的過程中通常我們要多繞一些路。在路上比我們直接到達目的地要收獲更多的東西。

46．B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Wetraveledthewaymostpeopledo:thefastest,shortest,easiestroad,especiallywhenIwasalonewithfournoisy…”可知作者在回父母家的路上，為了早點到達而選擇了高速，而一個女性單獨帶著四個孩子走高速也是為了安全。故選B。

47．C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第三句“Wehadtostopeveryhour,letBannershakeouthislegsandfeedhim.”可知，作者停下來是為了照顧小羊羔Banner。故選C。

48．B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)作者在第六段的描述可知，作者沿著鄉(xiāng)村小路走時，接近自然，既欣賞了美麗的景色，也為自己的旅程增加了快樂。故選B。

49．D　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第八段“…everyonestartedquarreling…orderedallkidsoutandtoldthemtomeetmeupahead.”可知，孩子們在車上爭吵起來，作者命令他們下車，走著去前面找作者。這樣做的目的是讓孩子們冷靜下來。故選D。

50．A　主旨大意題。作者在第一段借著名詩人WilliamStafford的話來揭示本文的主題：thedetour。再根據(jù)下文的描述，展示了作者在鄉(xiāng)村的路上獲得的快樂，由此可知本文的題目既要有detour又要有與joy相關的詞匯，選項A正好符合。

D

【要點綜述】本文是一篇議論文。幸福是什么？每個人在每個年齡階段對這個問題有著不同的回答。兒時的幸福很簡單，一輛新自行車就是幸福；少年時的幸福已經(jīng)變了；成年時的幸福又不一樣了。作者有著自己的幸福觀。

51．A　推理判斷題。通過第二、三、四段的描述可知，兒時的夢想很簡單，青少年時幸福的概念就換了，而成年時幸福就變得復雜了，因此隨著年齡的增長，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)體會幸福越來越難了。故選A。

52．C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中的內(nèi)容可知，作者說越享受自己擁有的，我們就會越幸福；第六段中作者用自己的體驗敘述了作者經(jīng)歷的小小的幸福的時刻。因此可從第五、六段知道，作者很容易因生活中的一些小事而感到幸福。故選C。

53．D　細節(jié)理解題。第七段中說奶奶沒有快樂的休閑時間，也沒有令人滿意的工作，但奶奶卻有家人和朋友的密切的聯(lián)系網(wǎng)，因此奶奶也很幸福。由此可知奶奶的幸福來自于對生活的樸素的期盼。故選D。

54．B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第八段中的內(nèi)容，因為有那么多的選擇、有想成功的壓力，我們很多人把快樂變成了比我們所擁有的更想要的東西。而那些把幸福和財富以及成功等同起來的人，太過于看重自己擁有幸福的權利了。故選B。

55．D　主旨大意題。根據(jù)作者整篇文章的論述，作者旨在告訴我們幸福的人就是容易滿足的人。故選D。

【要點綜述】本文是一篇記敘文。敘述了Clara回想自己11歲時參加為火星探測器命名的比賽一事。當她從雜志上看到這則消息時，她腦海中立刻出現(xiàn)了curiosity這一單詞。結(jié)果這個名字被NASA采用。Clara以自己的經(jīng)歷告訴讀者：好奇心非常重要，它使我們發(fā)現(xiàn)未知的東西，并創(chuàng)造新的東西。

56．ByreadingaTIMEforKidsmagazine./FromaTIMEforKidsmagazine.

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“…pickedupaTIMEforKidsmagazine.Apieceofnewscaughtmyeye…”可知Clara是從雜志上看到這條新聞的。

57．ShewontheessaycontestheldbyNASA./ShenamedtheMarsrover“Curiosity”．/“Curiosity”waschosenasthenameoftheMarsrover.

考查上下文理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“…therovernamedCuriositytoucheddownsafelyonthesurfaceofMars,andIwashonoredtohaveafront-rowseatinNASA.”可知，Clara為火星探測器所想的名字被采用了，由此可知，Clara之所以坐在第一排是因為她為火星探測器命名了。

58．ShesattogetherwithGrandmalisteningtoherstoriesaboutthestars./Hergrandmatoldherstoriesaboutthestars./Theysattogethertalkingaboutthestars.

細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段“…mygrandmotherandIwouldsittogetherinthebackyardforhours.She'dtellmestoriesandpointoutthestars.”可知，Clara記得的是小時候她和奶奶在一起，奶奶給她講關于星星的故事。

59．Stay/Remain/Live/Hide.

詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞后的“Weareconstantlywondering…”可知，我們?nèi)祟惒豢偸谴粼谝粋�地方。

60．Curiosityisimportantbecauseitleadstodiscoveryorinvention./Withcuriosity,wekeepaskingquestionsandexploringtheworldunknown./Curiositydrivesusthroughourlivessothatweneverstopwonderingaboutthethingsbeyondourknowledge.

推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的描述，我們?yōu)槭裁匆�去火星那么遠的地方？是因為好奇心。好奇心之所以重要，是因為它可以使我們發(fā)現(xiàn)未知的東西，或者發(fā)明新東西。
