B【解析】【分析】本文为应用文。本文向大家介绍了悉尼文化节中今天上演的四个节目。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据Nature Walks中的Join our hourly guided tours, starting at the Eastern Gate, and enjoy breathtaking forests, stunning city escapes and the magnificent Sydney Harbour.可知，如果想参加Nature Walks的话就要从东门出发，即在东门集合出发，故选C项。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第三个广告Sydney Symphony Orchestra Concert中的But in tonights concert, the world-famous Chinese pianist Lang Lang is the special guest artist and will perform a series of classic Chinese compositions including Yellow River.可知，“在今晚的音乐会上，世界著名的中国钢琴家郎朗是特邀艺术家，他将演奏包括黄河在内的一系列中国古典作品。”由此可知，今晚由郎朗演奏的中国古典音乐，故选D。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据Nature Walks中Join our hourly guided tours, starting at the Eastern Gate, and enjoy breathtaking forests, stunning city escapes and the magnificent Sydney Harbour.可知，在悉尼皇家植物园行走，从东门出发是在户外享受令人叹为观止的森林；最后的Moonlight Cinema中的Centennial Park. Sit on the grass and enjoy the latest movies or classics from the past under the stars at Australias best and largest outdoor cinema.可知，月光电影院是在澳大利亚最好的最大的户外电影院，坐在草地上，在星光下欣赏最新电影或过去的经典作品，可知是户外的活动。因此今晚的户外活动有两个。故选B项。【点睛】根据事实细节，推断合理信息是阅读理解中常用的方法。推理题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，作出一定判断和推论，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。如第3小题就属于推理判断题中的依据事实细节推断出合理的信息。Nature Walks中Join our hourly guided tours, starting at the Eastern Gate, and enjoy breathtaking forests, stunning city escapes and the magnificent Sydney Harbour.可知在悉尼皇家植物园行走，从东门出发是在户外享受令人叹为观止的森林；最后的Moonlight Cinema中的Centennial Park. Sit on the grass and enjoy the latest movies or classics from the past under the stars at Australias best and largest outdoor cinema.可知“月光电影院是在澳大利亚最好的最大的户外电影院，坐在草地上，在星光下欣赏最新电影或过去的经典作品”，可知是户外的活动。因此今晚的户外活动有两个。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话，也可是某几句话，但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据，既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理，也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理。也就是说，要做到判断有据, 推论有理, 忠实原文。切忌用自己的观点代替作者的本意，切忌片面思考，得出片面结论。BOne of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richard.After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying.I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own.I played with it day and night.I sang to it.I told it stories.1 told it over and over how much I loved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty.My doll was gone! I cried for it.Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital.It had a fever.For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous.Christmas was coming.Dont expect any presents this year. Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room.If your baby brother lives, thatll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.Id never seen him cry before.The phone rang early on Christmas morning.Dad jumped out of bed to answer it.From my bedroom I heard him say.What? Hes all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs.The hospital said we can bring Richard home! Thank God. I heard Mum cry.From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car.I had never seen them happy.And I was also full of joy.What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home.I downstairs.My sacks still hung there flat.But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!4. what happened to the author on September 11 1958 ?A. He got a baby brotherB. He got a Christmas giftC. He became four years oldD. He received a doll5. What does the underlined word “ominous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Impossible.B. BoringC. DifficultD. Fearful6. Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming?A. Excitement.B. Happiness.C. Sadness.D. Disappointment.7. What is the passage mainly about?A. A sad Christmas dayB. Life with a lovely babyC. A special Christmas giftD. Memories of a happy family【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C【解析】这是一篇记叙。文章讲的是一份特殊的礼物。这份礼物是作者的弟弟Richard，Richard是妈妈送给作者的礼物。作者很开心能有一个玩伴。后来，Richard生病被送到了医院，作者的爸爸妈妈都以为Richard的病情很严重，结果却是虚惊一场。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“On September11th.1958.Mum gave birth to Richardshe put him in my lap, saying.I promised you a gift, and here it is.”可知，1958年9月11日，妈妈生下了理查德她把他放在我膝上，说：“我答应给你一份礼物，就在这儿。所以作者在1958年9月11日有了一个弟弟。故选A项。【5题详解】词句猜测题。根据“Mum and Dad whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying”可知，作者听到爸爸妈妈小声地提到了“不抱希望的”、“可怜的”、“临死的”等字眼，这让作者有一种不详的预感，作者担心弟弟Richard会出事。所以通过上下文的语境可以判断出，第3段中带下划线的ominous一词可能是fearful“令人恐惧的”的意思。故选D项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“ As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.Id never seen him cry before.”可知，作者的父亲一边说着，眼里充满了泪水。作者以前从未见过父亲哭过。所以通过关键词“filled with tears”可以判断出父亲因为Richard的病情而变得很难过。故选C项。【7题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift.”可知，文章讲的是作者的一段精彩的记忆，这段记忆是关于他的弟弟Richard的，再根据“a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts”可知，短文主要讲的是一份特别的礼物。故选C项。CFailure is probably the most exhausting experience a person ever has. There is nothing more tiring than not succeeding.We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult. And the longer we delay it, the more tired we feel.Such start-up fatigue is very real, even if not actually physical, not something in our muscles and bones. The solution is obvious though perhaps not easy to apply: always handle the most difficult job first.Years ago, I was asked to write 102 essays on the great ideas of some famous authors. Applying my own rule, I determined to write them in alphabetical order, never letting myself leave out a tough idea. And I always started the days work with the difficult task of essay-writing. Experience proved that the rule works.Performance fatigue is more difficult to handle. Though willing to get started, we cannot seem to do the job right. Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over.When planning Encyclopedia Britannica( 大英百科全书), I had to create a table of contents based on the topics of its articles. Nothing like this had ever been done before, and day after day I kept coming up with solutions, but none of them worked. My fatigue became almost unbearable.One day, mentally exhausted, I wrote down all the reasons why this problem could not be solved. I tried to convince myself that the trouble was with the problem itself, not with me. Relived, I sat back in an easy chair and fell asleep.An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step. Though I worked as hard as before, I felt no fatigue. Success was now as exciting as failure had been depressing.Human beings, I believe, must try to succeed. Success, then, means never feeling tired.8. People with start-up fatigue are most likely to .A. work hardB. delay tasksC. seek helpD. accept failure9. On what occasion does a person probably suffer from performance fatigue?A. Before starting a difficult task.B. After finding a way out.C. If the job is rather boring.D. When all the solutions fail.10. According to the author, the unconscious mind may help us .A. find the right solutionB. get some nice sleepC. gain complete reliefD. ignore mental problems11. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Success Is Built upon FailureB. How to Handle Performance FatigueC. Getting over Fatigue: A Way to SuccessD. Fatigue: An Early Sign of Health Problems【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者围绕失败、疲倦、成功之间的关系展开论述。重点提出start-up fatigue 和 performance fatigue两种类型的疲倦问题，并分别以自己的亲身经历提出解决办法。最后指出克服疲倦的关键是获得成功。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段We experience this tiredness in two ways: as start-up fatigue (疲惫) and performance fatigue. In the former case, we keep putting off a task because it has either too boring or too difficult.（我们以两种方式体验这种疲劳:开始性疲劳和能力型疲劳。在前一种情况下，我们不断推迟一项任务，因为它要么太无聊，要么太难。）由此可知，有开始性疲劳的人们最有可能推迟任务。故选B。9题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段第二句Its difficulties appear so great that, however hard we work, we fail again and again. In such a situation, I work as hard as I canthen let the unconscious take over（它的困难看起来如此之大，以至于无论我们多么努力工作，我们都会一次又一次地失败。在这种情况下，我尽我所能地努力工作然后让潜意识接管）由此可推断出，能力型疲劳是无论我们工作的多艰辛，但是我们还是一遍又一遍的失败，故，当所有的解决办法都失败的时候，一个人会感到能力型疲劳。A项意为：当一个人开始一项困难的任务之前。B项意为：在找到解决办法之后。C项意为：如果这个工作相当无聊。均不符合文意。故选D。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the solution clearly in mind. In the weeks that followed, the solution which had come up in my unconscious mind proved correct at every step在“我”精疲力竭睡了一觉之后，我的脑海里清晰地出现了一个解决办法。故这种潜意识有助于找到解决办法。故选A。【11题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要针对两种不同类型的疲劳，作者给出了解释和解决办法并通过自己的例子给出了证明。第一段和第二段是总领全文段落，引出两种不同的疲劳。第三段和第四段是对于“开始性疲劳”给出的定义，解决方法和自身的经历。第五段到第八段是对于“能力型疲劳”给出的定义，解决方案和自身经历。最后一段对文章中心的升华。由此可知，文章是关于克服疲劳，走向成功的文章。A项意为：成功建立于失败之上。B项意为：怎样处理能力型疲劳。C项意为：克服疲劳是走向成功的方法。D项意为：疲劳是健康问题的早期信号。均不符合文意，故选C。【点睛】主旨大意题型范围一般包括：短文标题、主旨大意或段落大意等。此题要求考生在理解文章后归纳文章要点、概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章结构，抓住文章的开头和结尾从而找出概括文章的主题句。主题句特点：一、语言特点：归纳性、概括性、抽象性。二、位置特点：主题句常出现在总结性语言的信号词后面。如：In a word, as a result, In conclusion.DIf youre DIY-minded, you can build your own solar power system. In some cases, you can even build your own solar panels (电池板), although the amount that you can effectively DIY home solar depends on how much you want to power. Making your own solar panel is a time-consuming process and requires some electrical skills. However, it can also be very rewarding-learning to build your own panel is a great way to understand how solarelectricity is generated.Before you can build your own solar panels, you first need to understand how solar cells generate electricity. Once youve bought individual solar cells (they can be purchased online), the ba
