语篇解读本文是一篇科普说明文。

介绍了一种使香水香味持久的物质——龙涎香，因这一物质来自于鲸，所以遭到人们的反对。

科学家们发现一些树中的化学物质可以用来取代它，他们利用酵母菌成功制造出了这些化学物质。

1.D推理判断题。

根据第二段第二句以及倒数第三段可知，含有龙涎香的香水价格昂贵，故D项正确。

2.B词义猜测题。

根据第四段中“There'saproblemthatmanypeoplewouldn'tconsider.”可知该词组意为”有隐含的问题“，故选B项正确。

3.A细节理解题。

根据第七段第二句可知，由于酵母菌容易吸收其他基因，并将目的基因成功表达出来，故常被用于基因工程研究中，故A项正确。

4.D推理判断题。

根据第二段最后一句及第三段表达的语境可知，JoergBohlmann已经意识到，这些树中某些基因所产生的和其他物质可以被用于香水中以代替龙涎香，但是这些化学物质和其他物质混合在一起，难以分离，故可以断定，JoergBohlmann曾经做过基因研究，故D项正确。

【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章，在这里，父亲是一个乡村送信人，这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务，一直到他退休。

但让作者没有料到的是，父亲还在每年圣诞节的时候扮演着圣诞老人的角色，默默地回复着孩子们写给圣诞老人的信。

1.C　推理判断题。

从全文第一段提到的…alwaysanadventure:

Therewereanimalstosee…知，作者认为与父亲一起去乡下送信是一件惬意的事情，因为在路上碰到的事情令人激动不已，所以选C项。

2.B　推理判断题。

从文章第四段…Onebusinessmanusedtoleave…theamountcameto$32,000.知，商人认为父亲是一个诚实且值得信赖的人，所以他才会这么相信他，让他把数目很多的钱送往银行，由此知B项为最佳答案。

3.D　细节理解题。

从文章最后几段可以看出，作者没有想到的是，父亲竟然还曾扮演过圣诞老人的角色，给孩子们回信，这大大出乎他的意料。

这也可以从倒数第二段Ijustsattherewithtearsinmyeyes.可以看出，我对父亲的这种行为感到非常吃惊和感动，由此选D项。

4.C　文章结构题。

从第四段知，作者在这里举到了几个事例，如帮人送鸡蛋，帮小姑娘支付邮票，甚至帮一个商人去存钱等等，这些都是例子，所以该段举了很多事例来说明父亲平凡中的“伟大”，故选C项。

59.D　推理判断题。

从倒数第二段…andtheytoldmehowamazedtheywerethat…推断知，当时小朋友们对于圣诞老人居然这么了解他们的家庭生活感到非常吃惊，所以答案选D项。

5.A　主旨大意题。

从全文知，本文作者主要讲述了自己的父亲，一个平凡中显现伟大的送信人的故事，所以用A项能较好地概括全文中心，这里用TheMail来突出父亲的工作和他的敬业，故A项最佳。

阅读理解—推理判断题。
