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
