BGold Museum of Peru.CLima Art Museum.DMuseum of Natural History.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Larco Museum部分中的“The best thing about the museum is that it keeps the door to the Storeroom open to visitors so that they can admire its collection closely”可知，這個博物館最棒的地方在于它對游客敞開了通往儲藏室的門，這樣游客就可以近距離欣賞它的收藏品了。故游客能夠進(jìn)入儲藏室的博物館是Larco Museum，故選A項。2What makes Gold Museum of Peru different from other museums?AIts exhibits of diversities of animals.BIts large collection of objects.CIts classical paintings and sculptures.DIts display of Peruvian skills with metals.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Gold Museum of Peru部分中的“the Peruvian people were celebrated for their skills with metals.And the museum is aimed at preserving this heritage”可知，秘魯人民因其金屬技藝而聞名，Gold Museum of Peru旨在保護(hù)這一遺產(chǎn)。因此Gold Museum of Peru與其他博物館的不同之處在于它展示并保護(hù)了秘魯人民的金屬技藝，故選D項。3Which museum is the closest to Lima Art Museum?AMuseum of Natural History.BMuseum of Italian Art.CLarco Museum.DGold Museum of Peru.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Museum of Italian Art部分中的“The property is easily accessible by a short walk from Lima Art Museum”可知，Museum of Italian Art距離Lima Art Museum只有一小段路，因此離Lima Art Museum最近的就是Museum of Italian Art，故選B項。B(2019武漢調(diào)研)When I graduated from the University of Iowa last year，I did something my friends did not understand.I left Iowa，where I had friends and stability，to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco.At school，I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked，“Why on earth are you leaving？”Well，at graduation I was presented with two thingsa degree in psychology and a question.It was the same one that many in my generation got：“What do I do now？”It was as difficult as it was common.Thats because many people at my age were raised with the same words，repeated over and over by parents，teachers and TV，that“you can be whatever you want to be”As a young boy，every time when I was puzzled about my future，they would say that they would be happy if I was happy.However，what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea，for example，“be a doctor，or be a bus driver”My experience was by no means universal.Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power.As a goal，this seems much easier and clearer than finding“happiness”or“gentleness”The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill，rather assuming that something would magically happen to overcome their problems.They often get a real shock when they enter the“real world”and find that their options are very limited.Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating，or have moved back in with their parents.My life on the boat is hard at times，especially during storms.But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own.Im not buying into my nations idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of todays youth.【語篇解讀】本文是文化教育類夾敘夾議文。作者用自身的經(jīng)歷指出當(dāng)今美國的一個社會問題：青少年需要父母更為具體的引導(dǎo)和教育，讓他們知道自己將來具體想要做什么，而不是簡單地告訴他們“成為你想成為的人”。4Why were the friends confused about the writers leaving?AHe was tired of driving.BHe suddenly quit school.CHe would lose his friends.DHe would lead a changing life.D推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞confused定位到文章第一段中的“I did something my friends did not understand.I left Iowa，where I had friends and stability，to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco”可知，作者離開了艾奧瓦州，那里有他的朋友，有穩(wěn)定的工作，但他去了舊金山附近的一個船屋，開始自己一種新的生活，他的朋友們對他的這種做法很不理解，故答案是D。5What does the writer think of the guidance he got from American society?AIts specific. BIts wrong.CIts general.DIts correct.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞guidance定位到文章的第二段，這一段講述了作者對于來自他人的指導(dǎo)的想法；根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容，尤其是其中的“what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea”可知，作者想要的是具體的建議，故可推知他認(rèn)為他得到的指導(dǎo)是寬泛的，故答案是C。6What directly caused a lot of Americans to have jobs lower than their expectations?ATheir achievable goals.BThe practical guidance.CBeing shocked by the real world.DLacking professional competence.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題干中的關(guān)鍵詞“jobs lower than their expectations”定位到文章第三段最后一句“Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating，or have moved back in with their parents”(我的很多朋友在畢業(yè)后都當(dāng)了服務(wù)生或廚師，或者搬回去跟父母住在一起)，上文分析了導(dǎo)致這種情況的原因“The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill”，也就是說，父母的這種教育方式導(dǎo)致很多孩子沒有去認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)專業(yè)技能。故答案是D。7Which of the following can be the best title for the text?AStay where you areBBe whatever you want to beCBlind faith in industrial societyDMistaken belief in limitless possibilitiesD主旨大意題。文章主要闡述了作者指出當(dāng)前美國的一個社會問題：父母沒有給孩子提出具體的、明確的建議，教育其孩子把錢和權(quán)力當(dāng)成了生活的唯一目標(biāo)，這導(dǎo)致很多孩子沒有去認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)專業(yè)技能，在走上社會之后受到了影響，只能去做一些很低層次的工作。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Im not buying.todays youth”可知，作者批評了這種教育方式，并且不再相信美國社會的“無限可能”的信念。所以答案是D。.完形填空(2019長沙檢測)One of the most remarkable things about the human mind is our ability to imagine the future.
