主题语境：人与自我——奋斗人生——贫困学子的钢琴梦[文章大意] 作者11岁的时候想上钢琴课，但由于家境贫寒，母亲无法承担起钢琴课费用。自此，作者开始通过在纸上画琴键练习钢琴，母亲看出作者是认真的，借钱给作者买了十节钢琴课。八节课后作者参加了一级考试。之后作者又经历了无琴可弹的局面，但作者从不放弃，一直努力，并最终进入了世界领先的音乐学校之一。1．答案与解析：B'考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“OncemymomsawthatIwasserious,sheborrowedmoneyandboughtme10lessons”可知，作者的母亲给作者买钢琴课是因为看到了作者对学钢琴的渴望，故B项正确。2．答案与解析：D'考查推理判断。根据第二段中的“Ispentsixmonthsplayingwithouttouchingarealpiano”，第三段中的“IpassedGrade3,andthenGrade5,practicingonlyonmypieceofpaper”和第四段中的“AtPurcell,IspenttwoyearsworkingashardasIcould...it'sbeen10yearssinceIdrewmypaperpiano,andI'matoneoftheworld'sleadingmusicschools”可知，作者通过自己十年来不懈的坚持和努力，终于进入了世界领先的音乐学校之一，故D项“意志坚定的”最能概括作者的性格特征。3．答案与解析：B'考查标题判断。结合文章大意和最后一段中的“Thepaperpianohelpedpromotemycuriosityabouthowmusicworks”可以判断，整篇文章主要讲述的是作者通过在纸上练习钢琴最终实现了自己的音乐梦想，故B项最适合作文章的标题。B语篇类型：说明文 主题语境：人与自然——研究发现——狗在青春期初期也有叛逆性[文章大意] 研究人员发现，狗在青春期初期经历了一个极其敏感的时期，这使它们像人类青少年一样表现出来。因而，科学家们认为由于幼犬和人类的相似性，狗可以作为研究人类青春期的模型物种。4．答案与解析：D'考查细节理解。根据第一段内容，尤其是最后一句“Now,anewstudyisbackingthatup:Dogsexperienceanextremelysensitiveperiodatthebeginningofadolescencethatmakesthemactout,justlikehumanteenagers”可知，狗在青春期初期经历了一个极其敏感的时期，在这个时期，它们像人类青少年一样表现出来叛逆性。故选D。5．答案与解析：A'考查细节理解。根据第三段第一句“Dogswithhighscoresoneitherscaleenteredadolescenceearlier—atabout5months,comparedwith8monthsforthosewithlowerscores”可知，在这两个量表上得分高的狗进入青春期的时间较早。故选A。6．答案与解析：D'考查推理判断。根据第四段最后两句“However,theyreadilyandannoyinglyobeyedthestranger.Dogsthatweren'tsecurelyattachedtotheircaregiverswereevenmorewillingtofollowthestranger'scommands—again,muchlikehumanteenagers”可推断出没有得到主人很好照顾的青春期的狗更愿意听从陌生人的指令。故选D。7．答案与解析：-5-\nB'考查写作意图。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员的一项新发现，即狗在青春期初期经历了一个极其敏感的时期，这使它们像人类青少年一样表现出来。因而，科学家们认为由于幼犬和人类的相似性，狗可以作为研究人类青春期的模型物种。因此，这项研究的潜在意义是为了更好地研究人类的青春期。故选B。Ⅱ.[文章大意] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了和朋友旅行的时候应该遵循的规则，以确保旅行顺利。1．答案与解析：G
