細節理解題。問題是：以下哪一項是不正確的。根據Buthisneighborwasverycarefulwithhisplantsandwateredthemoften.但是他的鄰居精心照顧他的花草并且經常澆水。C選項意為商人照顧花比老師照顧得差。與原文不符。故選C。B2Everyoneknowstobeconfidentisveryimportantnow.Herearesomewaysforyouonhowtobeeconfident.LookConfident.Maybethisistheeasiesttodo.Whenyou’rewearingfortableclothesandlookgoodinthem,thenhalfofyourjobisdone.Startingyourdaybylookingatyourselfinthemirrorandfeelinghappyhelpalotinbeingconfident.TalkConfidently.Ifyouarealwayssoftspoken,thenpeoplewillthinkofyouassomesoftperson,withoutpower.Youneedtohaveacorrectspeed,sothatyourspeechisclearandfullofconfidence.Talkingwillseeothersuccessfulpeoplewalkingandstandinginaconfidentmanner.FeelConfident.Peoplekeeponwonderinghowtobeconfident,buttheydon’tthinkitismuchaboutone’smentalstate(精神狀態).Rememberwheneveryouaregoingtomakeanimportantconversation,alwayskeepinagoodmentalstateandtheconfidentwillbesuccessful.Whichofthefollowingisnottrue?A.Keepingagoodmoodhelpsyoubeeconfident.

C.Itisasocialmediacraze. D.Itusuallyshowsarealfall.【解析】【文章大意】本文主要講解“炫富摔”開始于俄羅斯，很快在全球受歡迎。在中國有新的含義。

細節理解題。根據第二段的ThecrazebeganinRussia.可知，它開始于俄羅斯，故A選項正確；根據第二段的Itwasmostpopularamongyoungpeople.可知，它最受年輕人的歡迎，故B選項正確；根據第一段的anewsocialmediacraze可知C選項正確；根據第二段的asthough（好像）theyhadjustfallenover可知，它不是真的跌倒，故D選項錯誤。故選D。H8Happinessisimportantforeveryone.Mostpeoplewanttobehappy,butfewknowhowtofindhappiness.Hereisastorytohelpyou.Onceabirdlivedunhappily.Soittraveledfarawaytolookforitshappiness.Itflewandflew.Suddenlyitsawaspiderclimbingupawall.Thespiderfelloffthewallhalfway.Butitkeptclimbingagainandfelloffagain.Evenso,thespiderdidn’tgiveup.Thelittlebirdaskedthespiderinsurprise.“Whydon?tyouhavepainbuthappinessonyourfacethoughyoufailagainandagain?”“BecauseIkeepmakingmyefforts.I?mhappy.”saidthespider.Thenthelittlebirdsawthehappinessisawillintheheart.Thebirdcontinuedflyingandsawalame（瘸的）duckhelpalittleduckwhogotlosttofindthewaybackhome.Althoughitwasdisabled,ithadasmilingface.“I?mhappybecauseIcanhelpothers.”saidthelameduck.Sothebirdsawthehappinessisaloveintheheart.Thebirdwentonflyingandsuddenlysawalittledyingflower,whosefacewasfullofsmile.Thebirddidn’tknowthereason.Soitaskedthelittleflower,“You?regoingtodie.Whyareyoustillsohappy?”“Becausemydreamwilletrue,”saidthelittleflower.“Whatisyourdream?”“Toproducesweetfruit.”Thelittlebirdsawthehappinessisahopeintheheart.Sothelittlebirdnomorelookedforhappinessbecauseithadseenthetruehappinessisnotinthefarawayplacebutinyourownheart.Youarethemakerofyourownhappiness.WhichofthefollowingisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?A.Happinessisimportantforeveryone.

B.Wemakehappinessbyourselves.

C.Manypeopleknowhowtofindhappiness.【解析】1.【文章大意】這篇文章講述了幸福的重要。通過一個故事告訴我們怎樣才能找到幸福。根據第一段中的“Mostpeoplewanttobehappy,butfewknowhowtofindhappiness.”可知“幾乎沒有人知道怎樣能找到幸福”。C項意為“許多人知道怎樣找到幸福。”可知C項與文章不符，故選C。I9Awomanwaswaitingatanairportonenight,withseverallonghoursbeforeherflight.Shesearchedforabookintheairportshops.boughtabagofcookiesandfoundaplacetosit.Shewasengrossedinherbookbuthappenedtoseethatthemansittingbesideher,tookacookieortwofromthebaginbetweenthem.Shetriedtopaynoattentiontoit,soshetooksomecookiesandwatchedtheclock,asthecookiethiefkepteating.Shewasgettingangrierastheminutestickedby,thinking,"IfIweren?tsonice,Iwouldfightwithhim."Witheachcookieshetook,hetookone,too;whenonlyonewasleft,shewonderedwhathewoulddo.Withasmileonhisface,andanervouslaugh,hetookthelastcookieandbrokeitinhalf.Heofferedherahalf,andatetheother.Shegotitfromhimquicklyandthought,"Ohoh,brother.Thisguymustbecrazyandhe?ssorude!Whyhedidn?tevenshowanythanks!"Shedidn?tknowshecouldbesoangry.Shefeltmuchbetterwhenherflightwascalled.Sheheldherbelongings(隨身物品)andheadedtothegate,notlookingbackattherudethief.Shegotontheplane,satonherseat,andlookedforherbook,whichwasalmostplete.Asshereachedinherbag,shewassosurprised—therewasherbagofcookies,infrontofhereyes."Ifmineishere,"shecried,"theotherswerehis—?therudecookiethief?s?,andhetriedtohavethemwithmetogether!"Toolatetosaysorry,sherealizedthatsheherselfwastherudeone,thethief.Whenyoufindsomethingfunny,whynotsearchitforhiddentruth?Whichofthefollowingstatementsistrue?A.Thewomanknewthemanquitewell.

B.AfewyearsagoJimwasfat.

C.Beingoverweightonlyaffectshowwelook.

D.Eatinganappleadayisgoodforourhealth.【解析】【文章大意】這篇短文講述超重已經成為現在最大的問題之一。超重不僅僅影響外貌，還影響你的健康。本文就如何同超重作斗爭給出了幾條建議。根據Beingoverweightaffectsmorethanhowyoulook.Toomuchfatcankillyou.可知，超重不僅僅影響你的外表。太多的脂肪會殺了你。故C選項描述錯誤，故選C。L12OurschoolisinTongling,amidlevelcityincentralChinaandalsoabeautifulonewithfantasticscenicandclimate.OurschoolneedsFOURoralteacherswiththefollowingqualifications(資格)：1,NativespeakersfromEnglishspeakingcountries;2,

C.

D.Ifyouworkintheschool,youcangetafoodcardeverymonth.【解析】【文章大意】這是銅陵市一所中學的教師招聘廣告。對教師的需求由詳細額要求，同時也告訴影片這工資的數額等等。根據5,Candidates(申請人)undertheageof40arepreferred.可知，應聘者低于四十歲更好，但是不一定必須低于四十。因此B項陳述錯誤，故選B。M13Doyouwanttogrowup?Ifnot,thenflytoNeverlandlikethekidsdoin“PeterPan”!Inthefilm,threekidsWendy,JohnandMichaelDarlingareenjoyinglifeathomeinLondon,England.Butonenight,aboycalledPeterPanfliesintotheirroom!HeesfromanislandcalledNeverland.HelivestherewiththeLostBoys,agroupofboyswhodon’twanttogrowup.PeterPanwantsthechildrentogowithhimtoNeverland.HealsowantsWendytolookaftertheLostBoys.ThechildrendecidetoflywithhimtoNeverland.Butwhentheygetthere,theyfindouttheLostBoysareatwarwithCaptainCook,apirate(海盜).Whowillwin?Youhavetowatchthefilmtofindout!Thefilmisbasedonthebook,“PeterPan,orTheboyWhoJustWouldn’tGrowUp”,byJamesBarrie.Childrenhavelovedthestoryforover100years.Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingisNOTtrue?PeterPanwilllookaftertheLostBoyshimself.

細節理解題。根據文章第二段第五句HealsowantsWendytolookaftertheLostBoys（他還希望溫迪照顧失落的男孩）可知，選項APeterPanwilllookaftertheLostBoyshimself（彼得·潘將會親自照顧失落的男孩）表述是錯誤的。故選A。N14School

B.GuangzhouisthebiggestcityinChina.

C.Beijingisthebiggestcityintheworld.

D.It's726kilometersfromGuangzhoutoChangsha.【解析】【文章大意】這篇文章講述了幾個城市與廣東之間的距離，北京距離廣東非常遠，乘坐火車的話，需要三十多個小時，也講了其他的城市的一些特點。根據ThecityofKunmingis2,216kilometersawayfromGuangzhou.It'salwayswarmthere.可知，昆明冬季也很暖和；根據常識，北京的冬季寒冷。所以說“昆明的冬天和北京一樣暖和”這種說法是錯誤的。故選C。根據第二段ChangshaisnearGuangzhou.It's726kilometerfromChangshatoGuangzhou.可知，從廣州到長沙有726公里。選項D的說法是正確的。故選D。Q17
