答案和解析1~3.【答案】A、C、C【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)ThomasMcWithey部分中ForhisEagleScoutproject，Thomasledhistroopintheconstructionandinstallationof15bluebirdnestboxesatthepark，totalingmorethan150volunteerhours.（在他的鷹級童子軍項目中，托馬斯帶領他的隊伍在公園里建造和安裝了15個藍鳥巢箱，總計超過150個小時的志愿者工作）可知，ThomasMcWithey花了很多時間做志愿者。故選A。

（2）細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)ChaseEnglehart部分中Itwasthefirsttimein22yearsthatamainlanderwonthechampionship.（這是22年來大陸選手第一次獲得冠軍）可知，ChaseEnglehart參加了帆船運動比賽。故選C。

（3）推理判斷題。根據(jù)AlinaMorse部分中MadeHeadlines：AstheyoungestchiefexecutiveofficertobenamedtotheInc.5000（America'smostsuccessfulcompanies），aswellastheyoungestpersontobefeaturedonthecoverofEntrepreneurmagazine.AlinahasalsospokenattheNewYorkStockExchange，doneaTEDTalkandmuchmore.（頭條新聞：作為美國最成功的5000家公司中最年輕的首席執(zhí)行官，同時也是最年輕的登上《企業(yè)家》雜志封面的人。愛麗娜還在紐約證券交易所做過演講，做過TED演講，還有很多其他的）可知，AlinaMorse榮登雜志頭條憑借的是其卓越的商業(yè)成就。故選C。

本文是應用文。文章介紹了五名登上Boys'Life雜志頭條的青少年。

閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋。考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點。

4~7.【答案】A、C、A、D【解析】本文主要講述了關于煙花藝術，具體講述了中國藝術家蔡國強發(fā)明"天梯"的故事．

考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

1.

A．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第一段TheChineseartistCaiGuoqiang，though，hasdevelopedawaytoharnessthevisualandphysicalpoweroffireworkstomakeartHerecentlyusedthemtocreateaburningsculpturethatstretchedhighintothesky．可知盡管如此，中國藝術家蔡國強已經(jīng)開發(fā)出一種方法，利用煙花的視覺和物理力量來制作藝術，他最近用它們來制作一個高高伸入天空的燃燒雕塑．harness意為"控制和使用"，故選A．

2.

C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第四段Thesculptureburnedfortwo-and-a-halfminutesbeforeitsflamesbegantodieoutfromthebottomup．可知這座雕塑燃燒了兩分鐘半后，火焰開始從底部向上熄滅．由此可見，蔡國強去年建造的"天梯"是為了持續(xù)燃燒2.5分鐘．故選C．

3.

A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)最后一段"BehindSkyLadderliesaclearchildhooddreamofmine，"Guoqiangexplains．可知國強解釋說："天梯后面有一個我童年時的清晰夢想．"由此可見，蔡國強小時候第一次想到的是一個火梯．故選C．

4.

D．主旨大意題．根據(jù)整篇文章可知，本文主要講述了關于煙花藝術的故事．文章具體講述了中國藝術家蔡國強發(fā)明"天梯"的故事．故選D．

8~11.【答案】D、C、B、D【解析】（1）D.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段GreenhousegasemissionswouldriseifallfarmsinEnglandandWaleswentorganic.Thoughtheemissionsofeachfarmwouldgodown，muchmorefoodwouldhavetobeimported，astheamounttheywouldproducewoulddecreasegreatly.（如果英格蘭和威爾士的所有農(nóng)場都采用有機農(nóng)業(yè)，溫室氣體排放量將會增加。雖然每個農(nóng)場的排放量都會下降，但必須進口更多的糧食，因為它們的產(chǎn)量將大大減少。）可知，農(nóng)場變得有機化，溫室氣體排放量就會增加，這樣會導致食物進口的需求大幅增加，故選D。

（2）C.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段

"there

are

a

lot

of

of

the

organic

approach"，but

his

analysis

shows

that

organic

farming

has

downsides

too.

（有機方法有很多優(yōu)點，但是他的分析表明有機農(nóng)業(yè)也有缺點。）可知，but表示轉(zhuǎn)折，前后兩句意義相反。前句表示有機農(nóng)業(yè)有缺點，故推知前句表示有機農(nóng)業(yè)有優(yōu)點。故merits的意思是"優(yōu)點"，A.Changes改變；B.Challenges挑戰(zhàn)；C.Advantages優(yōu)點；D.Differences不同。故選C。

（3）B.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段However，organicharvestsperhectare（公頃）arealsoloweronaverage.Forwheatandbarley，forinstance，harvestsarejusthalfofthoseofconventionalfarms.Thismeans1.5timesasmuchlandwouldbeneededtogrowthesameamountofthesefoods.（然而，平均每公頃的有機收成也較低。例如，對于小麥和大麥，收成僅為傳統(tǒng)農(nóng)場的一半。這意味著種植相同數(shù)量的這些有機食物需要1.5倍的土地。）可知，史密斯和同事們發(fā)現(xiàn)：相比傳統(tǒng)農(nóng)業(yè)，有機農(nóng)業(yè)需要更多的農(nóng)田和土地來養(yǎng)活一個國家，故選B。

（4）D.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段Smithsaysthebestoptionmaybetousesomeorganicandconventionalfarmingmethodsatthesametime.（史密斯說最好的選擇可能是同時使用一些有機和傳統(tǒng)的耕作方法。）可知，史密斯的提議是：同時使用一些有機和傳統(tǒng)的耕作方法混合耕作法，故選D。

這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述有機農(nóng)業(yè)及其優(yōu)缺點。

做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關語句進行仔細分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案。做題時要在抓住關鍵句子的基礎上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)。

12~15.【答案】D、C、B、D【解析】（1）細節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段中The

work

showed

people

harvesting

wheat

nearly

as

tall

as

they

were.（研究顯示，收割小麥的人幾乎和它們的身高一樣高。）此處的they指的是小麥，可知《收割者》這幅畫讓了解到它為16世紀小麥的樣子。故選D。

（2）推理判斷題。由文章第三段中Biologist

explained."（生物學家De

Smet認為畫家畫得不好。但藝術史學家Vergauwen卻有不同的看法。"不，這是那個時代最好的畫家之一。所以如果他把它畫成那樣，那它肯定就是這樣的。"他解釋道。）可知他們對一幅古畫有不同的看法激發(fā)了研究團隊開始他們的研究。故選C。
