gs.Itdescribesearlycivilizations.Itcoversstrangewildlifeimages.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，印度尼西亞洞穴壁畫中半人半獸的獵人可能是早期人類信仰的體現(xiàn)，是當時人們相信超自然生物存在的跡象。據(jù)此可推斷這樣的壁畫背后有一個復雜的想象過程，人們畫出了想象的事物。故選B。WhatcanweknowfromParagraph5?EarlyartisdeeplyrootedinIndonesia.Cavepaintingsareafeastforoureyes.Latestdiscoveriesarebasedontheory.Climatechangemayharmcavepaintings.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段中的thepaintingsarerapidlydeteriorating（惡化）beforeoureyesandthescientistsdon*tknowwhy.Brummsaysonetheoryisthathighertemperaturesinthecavesduetoclimatechangearcharmingtheart.可知，這些壁畫的處境正在惡化，Brumm認為正是氣候變化導致的洞穴內(nèi)的高溫在破壞著它們。故選DoWhatdoestheunderlinedword“imperative”inthelastparagraphmean?A.Urgent.B.Exciting.C.Meaningful.D.Imperfect.解析：選A詞義猜測題。上文提到了洞穴壁畫惡化的情況，結(jié)合畫線詞后的內(nèi)容可知，Brumm提到“留給我們的時間不充裕，誰知道在某個地方會有什么樣的可能正遭受損害或很快消失的驚人洞穴壁畫存在呢？咒由此可知，畫線詞表示“緊迫的，迫切的”，與urgent含義相近，故選A。II.完形填空AndreaSilverahasalwaystakenhandwritinganddetailedlecturenotesforgranted.Shehadnever1shecouldmakemoneywiththeskilluntilshewasintroducedtoa(n)2__.OneClassprovidescoursenotes3byexcellentstudents.“Iaccidentallysawtherewasa4formetobecomeanotetaker.AfterIuploadedmynotes,Iwas5,“Silverasays.Whatissurprisingisthe6ofviewshernotesreceive.Inaclassof300,100studentsusuallyviewhernotes.Atfirst,thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudcnts.Butunexpectedly,itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.Boththenoteusersandnotetakerssawgreatprogressintheirstudies.However,notetakersdon'tjusttakethejobforthe8benefit.Silverahasmade$l,500inayearofnotetaking.4tMynotesarenotjusthandwritten>“shesaid.^I_9manyextraexplanations.^Silverafindsthatworkingasanotetakerhasbeen10.However,shesaidsheneededto11otherstudentswhomightbe12intakingthejob：”Ifyouwanttodothis,youhavetoputinthetimeandactually13theclasses.Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse'snotesare14becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed—youneedtotakethem15.”語篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了一名名為AndreaSilvera的學生通過記篤記掙得了1,500美元的故事。A.believedB.doubtedC.heardD.thought解析：選D根據(jù)上文的AndreaSilverahasalwaystakenhandwritinganddetailedlecturenotesforgranted.可知，Silvera將記篤，記看作理所當然的事情，所以她從未想過自己能夠通過這一技能賺錢。A.organizationB.companyC.newspaperD.website解析：選D根據(jù)第三段中的Atfirst,thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudents.可知，OneClass是一個網(wǎng)站。A.writtenB.typedC.readD.sent解析：選A根據(jù)上文的handwriting可知，OneClass提供由好學生們親筆記錄的課程筆記。A.planB.chanceC.dreamD.way解析：選B根據(jù)下文的AfterIuploadedmynotes,Iwas5可知.Silvera偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個成為筆,記記錄員的機會。A.employedB.inspiredC.touchedD.refused解析：選A根據(jù)下文的Silverahasmade$l,500inayearofnotetaking.可知，Silvera上傳了自己的筆記后被錄用了。A.numberB.qualityC.speedD.variety解析：選A下文指出，一個300人的班里，通常有100人看SUvera的筆記，因此這里說最令人驚訝的是看筆記的人數(shù)之多。A.rarelyB.simplyC.firmlyD.mainly解析：選B根據(jù)下文的Butunexpectedly,itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.可知，起初，這一網(wǎng)站只是為了幫助有困難的學生。A.socialB.educationalC.environmentalD.financial解析：選B根據(jù)上文的Boththenoteusersandnotetakerssawgreatprogressintheirstudies.可知，筆記記錄者從事這份工作并不僅僅是為了上文提到的對教育方面帶來的好處。A.deleteB.findD.createC.includeD.create解析：選C根據(jù)上文的Mynotesarenotjusthandwritten可知，Silvera的筆記不僅是手寫的，而且還包括了很多額外的解釋。A.meaninglessB.demandingC.challengingD.worthwhile解析：選D通過上文的描述可知，Silvera通過成為篤記記錄員收獲良多，因而覺得筆記記錄員這一工作是值得做的。A.correctB.warnC.remindD.question解析：選C根據(jù)下文Silvera說的話可知，盡管Silvera覺得成為筆記記錄員是值得的，但她覺得有必要提醒那些想成為筆記記錄員的人。A.buriedB.experiencedC.involvedD.interested解析：選D根據(jù)空后的Ifyouwanttodothis可知，Silvera的話是對那些對筆記記錄員工作感興趣的人說的。A.attendB.teachC.observeD.enjoy解析：選A根據(jù)空前的youhavetoputinthetime可知，想要成為筆記記錄員就必須投入時間并真正地去上課。A.briefB.completeC.uselessD.aimless解析：選B根據(jù)空后的becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed可知，Silvera提醒同學們不要相信別人的筆記就一定是完整的。A.inadvanceB.insorrowC.inpersonD.inpublic解析:選C才艮據(jù)空前的Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse*snotesare14可知，做筆記不能依賴別人，必須自己親自做。III.語法填空EileenTaylorhadsomethingsweetonhermindinthedrive-throughlineatHeav*nlyDonuts.Justthedaybefore,astrangeraheadofherinlinehad](generous)paidforhercoffee."Thegesturemadesuch2bigdifferenceinmyday,"saysEileen.Shehadrecentlylostherjobasaphysician's3(assist),andmoneywastight.ButEileen_4(inspire)topaythe$12billofthefamilyinthecarbehindhers.5_shedidn'tknowwasthatherkindnesswouldsetoffachainreaction.Intwoandahalfhours,fifty-fivedriverspaidfortheorderofthepersonbehind6(they).Thedoughnutshop,semployees
