oldas37，000years.可知，長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)，人們認(rèn)為人類在洞窟中繪畫始于歐洲，有37，000年歷史的法國(guó)肖維巖洞壁畫就是一個(gè)例證。故選D。6．WhyisthecavepaintingfoundinIndonesiadescribedascomplex?A．Itreflectsatechnicalanalysis.B．Itshowsearlyimaginarythings.C．Itdescribesearlycivilizations.D．Itcoversstrangewildlifeimages.解析：選B推理推斷題。依據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，印度尼西亞洞窟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(dāng)時(shí)人們信任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(gè)困難的想象過(guò)程，人們畫出了想象的事物。故選B。7．WhatcanweknowfromParagraph5?A．EarlyartisdeeplyrootedinIndonesia.B．Cavepaintingsareafeastforoureyes.C．Latestdiscoveriesarebasedontheory.D．Climatechangemayharmcavepaintings.解析：選D細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第五段中的thepaintingsarerapidlydeteriorating(惡化)beforeoureyesandthescientistsdon'tknowwhy.Brummsaysonetheoryisthathighertemperaturesinthecavesduetoclimatechangeareharmingtheart.可知，這些壁畫的境況正在惡化，Brumm認(rèn)為正是氣候改變導(dǎo)致的洞窟內(nèi)的高溫在破壞著它們。故選D。8．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“imperative”inthelastparagraphmean?A．Urgent. B．Exciting.C．Meaningful. D．Imperfect.解析：選A詞義揣測(cè)題。上文提到了洞窟壁畫惡化的狀況，結(jié)合畫線詞后的內(nèi)容可知，Brumm提到“留給我們的時(shí)間不充裕，誰(shuí)知道在某個(gè)地方會(huì)有什么樣的可能正遭遇損害或很快消逝的驚人洞窟壁畫存在呢？”，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，thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudents.Butunexpectedly，itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.Boththenoteusersandnotetakerssawgreatprogressintheirstudies.However,notetakersdon'tjusttakethejobforthe8benefit.Silverahasmade$1，500inayearofnotetaking.“Mynotesarenotjusthandwritten，”shesaid.“I9manyextraexplanations.”Silverafindsthatworkingasanotetakerhasbeen10．However，shesaidsheneededto11otherstudentswhomightbe12intakingthejob：“Ifyouwanttodothis，youhavetoputinthetimeandactually13theclasses.Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse'snotesare14becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed—youneedtotakethem15．”語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。文章講解并描述了一名名為AndreaSilvera的學(xué)生通過(guò)記筆記掙得了1，500美元的故事。1．A.believed B．doubtedC．heard D．thought解析：選D依據(jù)上文的AndreaSilverahasalwaystakenhandwritinganddetailedlecturenotesforgranted.可知，Silvera將記筆記看作天經(jīng)地義的事情，所以她從未想過(guò)自己能夠通過(guò)這一技能賺錢。2．A.organization B．companyC．newspaper D．website解析：選D依據(jù)第三段中的Atfirst,thesitewas7meanttohelpstrugglingstudents.可知，OneClass是一個(gè)網(wǎng)站。3．A.written B．typedC．read D．sent解析：選A依據(jù)上文的handwriting可知，OneClass供應(yīng)由好學(xué)生們親筆記錄的課程筆記。4．A.plan B．chanceC．dream D．way解析：選B依據(jù)下文的AfterIuploadedmynotes,Iwas5可知，Silvera偶然發(fā)覺(jué)了一個(gè)成為筆記記錄員的機(jī)會(huì)。5．A.employed B．inspiredC．touched D．refused解析：選A依據(jù)下文的Silverahasmade$1，500inayearofnotetaking.可知，Silvera上傳了自己的筆記后被錄用了。6．A.number B．qualityC．speed D．variety解析：選A下文指出，一個(gè)300人的班里，通常有100人看Silvera的筆記，因此這里說(shuō)最令人驚異的是看筆記的人數(shù)之多。7．A.rarely B．simplyC．firmly D．mainly解析：選B依據(jù)下文的Butunexpectedly,itgainedfameandacquiredwealth.可知，起初，OneClass這一網(wǎng)站只是為了幫助有困難的學(xué)生。8．A.social B．educationalC．environmental D．financial解析：選B依據(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(duì)教化方面帶來(lái)的好處。9．A.delete B．findC．include D．create解析：選C依據(jù)上文的Mynotesarenotjusthandwritten可知，Silvera的筆記不僅是手寫的，而且還包括了許多額外的說(shuō)明。10．A.meaningless B．demandingC．challenging D．worthwhile解析：選D通過(guò)上文的描述可知，Silvera通過(guò)成為筆記記錄員收獲良多，因而覺(jué)得筆記記錄員這一工作是值得做的。11．A.correct B．warnC．remind D．question解析：選C依據(jù)下文Silvera說(shuō)的話可知，盡管Silvera覺(jué)得成為筆記記錄員是值得的，但她覺(jué)得有必要提示那些想成為筆記記錄員的人。12．A.buried B．experiencedC．involved D．interested解析：選D依據(jù)空后的Ifyouwanttodothis可知，Silvera的話是對(duì)那些對(duì)筆記記錄員工作感愛(ài)好的人說(shuō)的。13．A.attend B．teachC．observe D．enjoy解析：選A依據(jù)空前的youhavetoputinthetime可知，想要成為筆記記錄員就必需投入時(shí)間并真正地去上課。14．A.brief B．completeC．useless D．a(chǎn)imless解析：選B依據(jù)空后的becausenobodycanmeetyoureveryneed可知，Silvera提示同學(xué)們不要信任別人的筆記就肯定是完整的。15．A.inadvance B．insorrowC．inperson D．inpublic解析：選C依據(jù)空前的Andyoucan'ttrustthatsomeoneelse'snotesare14可知，做筆記不能依靠別人，必需自己親自做。Ⅲ.語(yǔ)法填空EileenTaylorhadsomethingsweetonhermindinthedrive-throughlineatHeav'nlyDonuts.Justthedaybefore,astrangeraheadofherinlinehad1(generous)paidforhercoffee.“Thegesturemadesuch2bigdifferenceinmyday，”saysEileen.Shehadrecentlylostherjobasaphysician's3(assist),andmoneywastight.ButEileen4(inspire)topaythe$12billofthefamilyinthecarbehindhers.5shedidn'tknowwasthatherkindnesswouldsetoffachainreaction.Intwoandahalfhours,fifty-fivedriverspaidfortheorderofthepersonbehind6(they).Thedoughnutshop'semployees7(see)
