4、ight not taste good.【答案】1B2C3A4D【解析】1考查推理判断。根据第一段中的Rather, its because of good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest可知,这里的harvest指的是自家种的蔬菜瓜果之类的东西,锁车是因为热心肠的、想要分享他们的收获的邻居;如果不锁车,这些邻居可能会往车里装蔬菜瓜果。故选B。2考查细节理解。根据第二段中的Sharon recently had a good year for tomatoes. She and her family had eaten and
5、 canned so many that theyd begun to feel their skin turn slightly red. Thats when she decided it was time to share her blessings可知,Sharon想分享西红柿是因为她家的西红柿多得吃不完了。3考查推理判断。第二段提到Sharon找到了一个愿意摘走她的西红柿的邻居,并让邻居随便摘取,再根据She thought it a good way to help someone and the food didnt go to waste可知,当Sharon发现有人去过她的园子
6、摘西红柿时,她应是感到高兴的。4考查推理判断。由倒数第二段可知,邻居摘走的并不是西葫芦,而是Sharon一家不想摘的黄瓜,因为黄瓜长得太大、太软,味道太苦了;再根据最后一段的I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread可知,邻居正是用这些黄瓜做的面包,由此可推知,这种黄瓜面包可能不好吃。故选D。【点评】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述的是Sharon与邻里分享菜园收获的趣事。Coca-Cola is probably the most famous brand in the world, and in some areas you can even access it e

8、r, Coca-Cola has other functions besides drinking.Cola removes the tarnish(暗锈) from old pennies. Got some old rusty pennies? Not to worry!

14、D.Why we cant drink Coca-Cola too often.5B6C7A8C5考查句意理解。画线句前面提到Coca-Cola is probably the most famous brand in the world,故画线句是用来进一步说明可口可乐的受欢迎程度的,故选B项。6考查细节理解。Cola removes the tarnish(暗锈) from old penniesWhen you get them out, youll have shiny pennies可知,可乐可以让生锈的旧硬币变得有光泽。7考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的内容可知,把薄荷糖放入瓶装可乐
15、中能产生爆炸式的喷泉,因此,如果同时吃薄荷糖和喝可乐的话,会对我们的胃有害。故A项正确。8考查主旨要义。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的Coca-Cola has other functions besides drinking可知,本文主要讲的是可口可乐的几种奇怪的用途。【点评】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了可口可乐的几种最奇怪的用途。I have two kids, a boy and a girl.

Is it junk food? No. Junk food has been around for fifty years. Is it video games? No. Video games have been around for
18、 thirty years. None of the kids playing them back in the day were terribly obese. Were all scratching our heads trying to figure out what weve introduced to society to ruin our kids. But its not anything weve added that has ruined our kids. Its stuff weve gotten rid of.Take the gym rope for example.
19、 Remember that thing that stretched from the floor to the ceiling in your gym class that you could never climb? Most of the kids couldnt make it to the top. But that wasnt the point; the point was you had to try while some middle-aged guy who couldnt make it up a flight of stairs shouted at you. We
20、should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didnt want to shame the boy, so we took it down.Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were no ropes in life.

23、D.They are thought too highly of.12What does the rope probably symbolize?A.Goals.B.Expectations.C.Competition.D.Assistance.9B10D11B12C9考查推理判断。文章第一段谈到作者担心儿子会变得女性化,再根据第二段首句和最后一句的内容可知,这个外星人的例子就是用来证明男孩越来越女性化的观点的。此外,第三段的前两句也是提示。10考查细节理解。根据第三段的Its stuff weve gotten rid of可知,是我们丢弃的事物毁掉了我们的孩子,即让现在的孩子变得软弱和肥胖
24、。其实是个省略形式的强调句,补充完整是Its stuff weve gotten rid of that has ruined our kids。11考查推理判断。根据第四段中的We should have put our son on that rope, and given him a head start. But we didnt want to shame the boy, so we took it down可推知现在的孩子都被家长过度保护着12考查推理判断。根据第五段中的Taking down the rope would be a good idea if there were
25、 no ropes in life. But theyre everywhere. You just cant see them. Theyre in every goal unrealized and expectation not met可知生活中处处都有绳子,只是人们看不到,它们存在于每一个未实现的目标和未达成的期望中,再结合第四段提到的gym rope的作用可知,rope其实象征着生活中的竞争。【点评】现在的孩子普遍变得比以前软弱和肥胖了,这究竟是为什么呢?From a college designed specifically for high school students to
