【答案】4.D5.A6.C7,D
【解析】
這是一篇記敘文。作者通過講述Fannie姨媽和她的藍(lán)莓醬配方,向我們說明金錢只可以暫時讓人感覺富有,
唯有和他人的關(guān)系以及和朋友、家人們一起度過的美好時光才會讓我們變得真正富有。
【4題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“AuntFanniewasBlueberryJamWoman.Ofcourseshewasn'treallymyaunt,and
outoffear,Inevercalledthattoherface.Thenamealwaysmademyfatherchuckle(輕笑)andmymotherlook
stemly(嚴(yán)厲地)atbothofus——atmefbrbeingdisrespectful,andatmyfatherforencouragingmybadbehavior.,,
可知Fannie姨媽是“藍(lán)莓果醬女士”。當(dāng)然,她并不真是我的姨媽,出于恐懼,我從來沒有當(dāng)著她的面這
么叫過。這個名字總是讓父親咯咯地笑,母親則嚴(yán)厲地看著我們倆一一看著我,是因?yàn)槲也蛔鹬貏e人;看
著父親,是因?yàn)樗v容我的壞行為。由此可推知,第一段提到作者出于“恐懼”,是因?yàn)樽髡咧婪Q呼Fannie
阿姨“藍(lán)莓果醬女士”是不禮貌的。故選D。
【5題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“shehadnevermarried,andhadnolivingheirs(繼承人)可知她從未結(jié)過婚,
也沒有繼承人。由此可知,F(xiàn)annie姨媽沒有孩子。故選A。
【6題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“Thenamealwaysmademyfatherchuckle(輕笑)andmymotherlookstemly(嚴(yán)
厲地)atbothofus-atmefbrbeingdisrespectful,andatmyfatherfbrencouragingmybadbehavior.(這個名字
5
總是讓父親咯咯地笑,母親則嚴(yán)厲地看著我們倆一一看著我,是因?yàn)槲也蛔鹬貏e人;看著父親,是因?yàn)樗?/p>
縱容我的壞行為)”以及第二段中Eventhoughmymotherknewitbyheart,aslongasAuntFanniewasalive,
shenevermadethejamwithoutMissCrattyinourkitchentodirecttheprocessandpreservethesecret.(盡管我母
親早已熟記于心,但只要Fannie姨媽還活著,沒有Cratty小姐在我們廚房指導(dǎo)制作過程,她從來不會做這
種果醬,并且保守秘密)”由此可推知,作者的媽媽不允許丈夫和作者不禮貌地稱呼Fannie姨媽“藍(lán)莓果
醬女士”,以及雖然已經(jīng)知道果醬的做法,還是要在Fannie姨媽在場的時候才制作這種果醬,可推知作者
的母親對Fannie姨媽很有感情。故選C。
【7題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中aNeitherhassignificantlycontributedtomywealth,butIkeepthemtoremind
myselftoholdontothevaluablethingsinlife.Moneycanmakeyoufeelrichfbrawhile,butitisyour
relationships,andyourmemoriesoftimespentwithfriendsandfamily,thattrulyleaveyouwealthy.Andthatisa
fortunethatanyonecanbuild."可知,它們都沒有給我?guī)碡敻?,但我保留它們是為了提醒自己要珍惜生?/p>
中有價值的東西。金錢能讓你暫時感到富有,但真正讓你富有的是你的人際關(guān)系,以及你與朋友和家人共
度的時光的記憶。這是任何人都可以創(chuàng)造的財富。由此可推知,作者想告訴我們要珍惜與家人和朋友在一
起的時間。故選D。

【答案】8.C9.C10.B11.D
【解析】
本文是一篇說明文。文章主要講的是同樣的事情,同樣的時間,但是心理層面的時間和物理概念的時間是
有差別的。文章解釋了時間為什么過的很快,以及怎樣讓它變慢。
【8題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)劃線句子的上一句Physicistshavecreatedfascinatingtheories,buttheirtimeismeasuredbya
pendulumandisnotpsychologicaltime,whichleapswithlittleregardtotheclockorcalendar(物理學(xué)家倉U造了
有趣的理論,但他們的時間是通過鐘擺衡量的,而不是心理時間,心理時間和鐘表或日歷沒有關(guān)系。)可推
測,劃線句子是為了說明物理概念的時間和心理的時間是有區(qū)別的。C.Physicaltimeisdifferentfrom
psychologicaltime(物理時間和心理時間是有區(qū)別的)符合以上說法,故選C項(xiàng)。
【9題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的Theyalsonotethatthemoretimeisstructuredwithschedulesandappointments,the
morerapidlyitseemstopass.(他們還指出,日程表和約會安排的越多,時間似乎過得就越快。)可知,因?yàn)?/p>
單位時間是被規(guī)劃好的,所以越是細(xì)致規(guī)劃的時間,看上去就過的越快。C.Moretimeisstructuredand
scheduled(更過的時間被規(guī)劃和安排)符合以上說法,故選C項(xiàng)。
【10題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段的Surroundedbyunfamiliarscenery,withnorealideaofwhenwe'llarrive,we
experiencethetripaslastingalongtime.Thenoveltyoftheoutwardjourneyhasbecomeroutine.(周圍是不熟悉
的環(huán)境,不知道我們何時到達(dá),我們經(jīng)歷的旅行似乎持續(xù)了很長時間。外面世界的novelty已經(jīng)成了家常
便飯。)根據(jù)句意可知,因?yàn)閷χ苓叚h(huán)境的不熟悉才覺得時間過得慢,而這種情況成為我們生活的一種常規(guī)
了。由此猜測,劃線部分的意思是“不熟悉”。B.unfamiliarity(不熟悉)符合以上說法,故選B項(xiàng)。
【11題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的主要內(nèi)容,尤其最后一段的Learningsomethingnewisoneofthewaystoslowthe
passageoftime.Oneofthereasonsthedaysofouryouthseemssofullandlongisthatthesearethedaysof
8
learninganddiscovery.Formanyofus,learningendswhenweleaveschool,butthisdoesn'thavetobe.(學(xué)習(xí)新
的東西是減緩時間流逝的方法之一。我們的青春歲月之所以充實(shí)而漫長,其中一個原因就是這些是學(xué)習(xí)和
發(fā)現(xiàn)的日子。對于我們很多人來說,離開學(xué)校就是學(xué)習(xí)的結(jié)束,但這不一定非得這樣。)可知,作者寫篇文
章的是為了陳述為什么時間過的很快,以及怎樣讓時間變慢。D.Toexplainwhytimefliesandhowtoslowit
down(為了解釋為什么時間流逝的快,以及如何讓它變慢)符合以上推測,故選D項(xiàng)。

【解析】
這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了電影《泰坦尼克號》中Jack因?yàn)榫萊ose而死,但是二十年后人們?nèi)栽?/p>
糾結(jié)Jack是否真的非死不可的問題,甚至有人專門進(jìn)行了試驗(yàn)并把結(jié)果提交給電影導(dǎo)演卡梅隆。對此,卡
梅隆的看法是杰克非死不可,并給出了理由。
【12題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“DoyoustillrememberthesceneinthefamousmovieTitanic,directedbyCameron,
whereJackwasfrozentodeathintheicycoldwatersothatRosecouldsurviveonthefloatingdooralone?”可知
你還記得卡梅隆執(zhí)導(dǎo)的著名電影《泰坦尼克號》中Jack被凍死在冰冷的水中,而Rose獨(dú)自靠漂浮的門生
10
存下來的場景嗎?由此可知,Jack這個角色為了救Rose而犧牲了自己。故選B。
[13題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“ButitdoesshowthatthefilmwaseffectiveinmakingJacksoendearingto
theaudiencethatithurtsthemtoseehimdie.”可知但它確實(shí)表明,這部電影有效地把Jack塑造得如此受觀
眾喜愛,以至于看到他死去會讓他們感到心痛。由此可知,根據(jù)卡梅隆的說法,觀眾們?yōu)镴ack的死爭論了
20年是因?yàn)樗麄兿矚gJack這個角色。故選C。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中uSinceJackwasdoomedtodie,Cameronsaid,itcouldhavehappenedina
varietyofdifferentways.Ifsnotaboutthedoornotbeingbigenough:that'sjustapracticalmethodforhisdeath.
'Whetheritwasthat,orwhetherachimneyfellonhim,hewasgoingdown,'Cameronsaid.”可知卡梅隆說,既
然Jack注定要死,那就有可能以各種不同的方式死去。這不是門不夠大的問題:那只是他的一種死亡方式。
“不管是這樣,還是煙囪掉在他身上,他都要死,”卡梅隆說。由此可推知,最后一段提到煙囪是為了解
釋Jack無法改變的命運(yùn)。故選D。
【15題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段“WhentheypresentedtheirfindingstoCameron,thedirectorinsistedthatJack
couldn'tbesaved.(當(dāng)他們把調(diào)查結(jié)果提交給卡梅隆時,導(dǎo)演堅持認(rèn)為Jack必須死)”結(jié)合文章主要說明了
電影《泰坦尼克號》中Jack因?yàn)榫萊ose而死,但是二十年后人們?nèi)栽诩m結(jié)Jack是否真的非死不可的問
題,甚至有人專門進(jìn)行了試驗(yàn)并把結(jié)果提交給電影導(dǎo)演卡梅隆。對此,卡梅隆的看法是杰克非死不可,
并給出了理由。由此可知,A選項(xiàng)“泰坦尼克號上的Jack必須死”最符合文章標(biāo)題。故選A。
