41.Thebesttitleforthepassagewouldbe“________”.
A.DevelopmentoftheNationalFlagB.PoweroftheNationalFlag
C.TypesofFlagsD.UsesofFlags
【答案】A
【解析】标题归纳题。
“Itis,rather,theproductofthousandsofyears’development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。
而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向,一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。
所以本文说的是国旗的发展。
故选A。
42.Theunderlinedword“vulnerable”inParagraph3means________.
A.impossibletomakesureofB.likelytobeprotected
C.easytobedamagedD.difficulttofind
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。
本段第一句“Earlyhumanbeingsusedveryfragilehousesandboats.”说早期人类使用非常易坏的的房屋和船只。
而本句“People’sfoodsuppliesweresimilarlyvulnerable.”中“similarly”意为“同样地”,所以"vulnerable”也表示“易损坏”。
故选C。
43.Theearliestflagswereconnectedwithheavenlypowerbecause________.
A.theycouldtelldirection
B.theycouldbringgoodlucktoancientfighters
C.theywerehandeddownbytheancestors
D.theywerebelievedtostandfornaturalforces
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。
本段第一句“Usingasimplepieceofclothtiedtothetopofaposttotellthedirectionofthewindwasmoredependablethanearliermethods,……”“用一块布系到标杆顶部来判断风向比早期的办法更可靠。
”因此,最早的旗帜与天的力量有关。
故选D。
44.Whatdoestheauthorknowofthefirstnationalflag?
A.HeknowswhenitwassenttoEurope.
B.HebelievesitwasmadeinEgypt.
C.HethinksitcamefromChina.
D.Hedoubtswhereitstarted.
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。
最后一段“Thefirstknownflagofanationorarulerwasunmarked.。
”说明第一个国家的旗帜未被标明,所以作者不知道第一面国旗是从哪儿诞生的。
45.Whatwilltheauthormostprobablytalkaboutnext?
A.TheroleofChinainthespreadofthenationalflag.
B.Thesecondancestorofthenationalflag.
C.TheuseofmodernflagsinEurope.
D.Theimportanceofmodernflags.
【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。
结尾处“ThispracticemighthavebeenlearnedfromEgyptiansevenfurtherinthepast,butitwasfromChinathatitspreadovertraderoutesthroughIndia,thenacrossArablands,andfinallytoEurope,whereitmetupwiththeotherancestorofthenationalflag.”说明中国国王树立旗帜的做法遍及到了贸易行路,通过印度,穿过阿拉伯大陆,最终到达欧洲。
在那与另一个国旗的原型结合。
所以,接下来最可能讨论的是过国旗的第二个始祖。
故选B。
阅读理解B
