【題目】Joanna Cole, born on August 11, 1944 in Newark, New Jersey, has been credited to be one of the most popular children’s authors of all time. She has written over 250 books and is famous for writing one of the most popular children's book series. She knew as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science. Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.
Joanna Cole continued her education by attending the University of Massachusetts and Indiana. She would eventually earn a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the City College of New York in 1967; after graduation Cole decided to take some education courses to become a librarian at a Brooklyn elementary school in 1967. Eventually, she would take jobs working for Newsweek, Seesaw book club.
Cole’s passion for writing and science was still alive and well during this time. In 197l she decided to write her first book, Cockroaches. She did some research and discovered there had never been a book written for children about cockroaches. So she thought she would be the first.
Cole struck gold when she wrote the first Magic School Bus in 1985. The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.
Cole continued to write both non-fiction and fiction books for children. She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read. This creates an engaging experience for children, so it is no wonder why younger readers are hooked on her books.
【1】When Joanna Cole was young, she ________.
A. got inspired by one of her teachers
B. was very popular with children
C. began her career of writing novels
D. knew what she would do in the future
【2】What does the underlined phrase probably mean?
A. Got ideas. B. Made a promise.

B. She is an expert at getting science across to readers.
C. She writes novels not only for kids but for adults.
D. She has made great contributions to science.
【4】What kind of person is Cole in the passage?
A. Talented and creative. B. Popular and reliable.
C. Serious and honest. D. Positive and brave.
【答案】
【1】A
【2】C
【3】B
【4】A
【解析】
本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述被譽為有史以來最受歡迎的兒童作家喬安娜·柯爾，早在小學五年級的時候，喬安娜·柯爾發(fā)現(xiàn)自己愛好寫作和科學。喬安娜認為她創(chuàng)作的主要激情來自她的一位小學老師。她的作品《蟑螂》和《神奇校車》獲得了極大的成功。
【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段最后的“Cole has owed a large part of her passion to one of her elementary school teachers.”可知，喬安娜·柯爾的寫作激情主要來自她的一位小學老師，因此可知，在她小的時候受到她的老師的激勵。故選A項正確。
【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線句下文“The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.”可知，這本書第二年繼續(xù)出版并很快成為系列書籍和卡通系列劇。因此推斷喬安娜·柯爾的第一本書賺了錢。所以畫線部分意思是“發(fā)財”，與make a fortune意義相近。故選C項正確。
【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段二、三、四句“She writes in a way that will hopefully inspire children to think like a scientist. She does this by writing ideas instead of just facts. She also tries to ask questions in her books that require children to think and discover the answers as they read.”可知，喬安娜以希望能夠鼓舞孩子們像科學家一樣思考的方式來寫作，她的作品就是她的想法，而絕不僅僅是事實說明。在她的書里她也試圖提出問題，要求孩子們在閱讀的時候去解答這個問題。因此推斷她擅長傳遞科學給讀者。故選B項正確。
【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“She knew as early as early as 5th grade that she was interested in writing and science.”可知，喬安娜早在五年級就對寫作和科學感興趣，說明她是有天賦的；根據(jù)最后三段的內容可知，喬安娜非常具有創(chuàng)造性，她發(fā)現(xiàn)沒有一本兒童圖書介紹過關于蟑螂的故事，因此寫了她的第一本書《蟑螂》，她的作品《神奇校車》更是非常受讀者的歡迎，獲得了很大成功，這些都說明她是一個有創(chuàng)造力的人。故選D項正確。
高考中詞義推斷可以是一個單詞的意義推斷，也可以是一個短語或句子的意義推斷，既可以是生詞意義，也可以是熟詞新意；還可以是對替代詞所替代內容的判斷。在閱讀理解題中，所考查的詞或短語的意義往往不停留在字面上，要根據(jù)短文提供的語境，通過閱讀上下文，根據(jù)已知的信息或常識來推斷尚不熟悉的詞或詞組的含義。詞義猜測主要的解題策略有：語境猜測、語法猜詞和常識猜詞。
其中的語境猜測最為常用。語境既上下文。由于上下文中的生詞不是孤立存在的，其詞義與句中其它詞的詞義或具體的語境有著密切的聯(lián)系。因此在閱讀過程中，許多生詞的詞義可以充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯、短語并結合具體的語境來推測。運用邏輯推理猜測詞義是使用最廣考查最多也最易得分的猜詞方式。要求考生具備整合分散、復雜信息的能力，充分利用上下文中相關的詞匯并結合具體的語境，從形式和內容上把握語言之間的內在聯(lián)系，理順語言之間的邏輯關系，進而達到猜詞的目的。
【解題剖析】
第二小題就屬于猜測詞義中依據(jù)邏輯推理猜測詞義。答案需要推斷畫線部分的意思。
【答案定位】
根據(jù)畫線句下文“The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success.”可知，這本書第二年繼續(xù)出版并很快成為系列書籍和卡通系列劇。因此推斷畫線句表示與此句意義一致，喬安娜·柯爾的第一本書賺了錢。
【推理關系】
題干What does the underlined phrase probably mean?文章內容The book would go on to be published the following year and quickly became book series and cartoon series due to its success. C. Made a fortune.

【題目】 Shot in more than 40 locations in L.A., the musical La La Land is “a love letter to the city”. To coincide with UK release, we asked a local writer to pick some of the film’s amazing settings.
Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange
La La Land’s opening scene is a six-minute dance that plays out in L.A.’s bad traffic. It is also where the film’s leading roles, struggling actress Mia and jazz pianist Sebastian, first encounter each other—in a road anger incident. The scene is said to have been filmed over two hot days in south L.A.
Smokehouse Restaurant, Burbank
This is the setting for the scene in which Mia discovers Sebastian’s talent for the piano. The fictional Lipton’s restaurant---where jazz purist Sebastian was reluctant to play Christmas music---is in reality a place long frequented by actors, producers and other show business types. It has been on this spot, across the street from the Warner Bros studio, since 1949. In the film, the outer wall of Lipton’s is the You are the Star mural (壁畫). which features Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin and others, which is on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Wicox Avenue in Hollywood in reality.
Warner Bros Studios, Burbank
Mia works at the studio’s coffee shop, where Sebastian comes to meet her. As they wander the studio’s lot, Mia points out “ the window that Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman looked out in Casablanca.” It’s one of the film’s numerous nods to movie history. Warner Brons is still a working studio, with 35 sound stages, 14 exterior sets and visitor tours.
Cathy’s Corner, Mount Hollywood Drive
This section of the road that winds through Griffth Park is the setting of their dance play. It overlooks the San Fernando Valley and features on the film poster. Cathy’s Corner is near famed Mulholland Drive, but prepare for disappointment if you’re expecting a park bench and street lamps, which only exist in the movie.
【1】In order to encounter some film stars, you may go to _______.
A.Judge Harry Pregerson Interchange
B.Smokehouse Restaurant
C.Warner Bros Studio
D.Cath’s Corner
【2】Mia mentioned the underlined sentence so as to _______.
A.stress Warner Bros is still in function
B.show respect for movies of previous generations
C.illustrate La La Land was filmed at Hollywood Center Studios
D.compare Mia and Sebastian’s love story with Humphrey and Ingrid
【3】In which section of a website can you most probably find this passage?
A.Nature and Environment.B.City and Transport.
C.Travel and Recreation.D.Food and Health.

【題目】（題文）A long time ago, soldiers fought wars on foot. Then they began to ride horses to battle. Until the invention of the stirrups (馬蹬), though, men could not fight well with swords or spears while on horseback.
Without stirrups, soldiers had no place to put their feet. They could not stand up to use their swords without falling off their horses. They could throw spears only with the force of their arms.
Using stirrups, a soldier could stand up in his saddle (鞍). He could put a spear under the top part of his arm and charge with the force of his horse. He could use force when fighting with a sword. And he could win most fights against soldiers who did not use stirrups.
The first stirrups were made in India. Because the weather was warm, people did not wear shoes. The Indian stirrup was made of rope. It fit around the big toes. Later, the Chinese made a foot stirrup of wood. Because the Chinese lived in a colder country, the stirrup had to fit around shoes. Still later, around A. D. 700, soldiers in Asia used strong iron foot stirrups.
【1】（小題1）Around AD. 700, the soldiers in Asia used stirrups made of ________.
A. wood B. shoes C. rope D. iron
【2】（小題2）On the whole, this story is about ________.
A. the soldiers in warm and cold countries
B. how to throw a spear in the fights
C. an invention that changed man’s way of fighting wars
D. the history of horse riding
【3】（小題3）How did the stirrup help soldiers fight better?
A. They looked better when they were using stirrups.
B. They could now stand in their saddles to throw spears.
C. Horses were safer to ride than before.
D. They made soldiers throw spears with the force of wind.
【4】（小題4）Which of the following sentences do you think is RIGHT?
A. There were no wars 2,000 years ago.
B. Men were fighting 2,000 years ago.
C. War is something new.
D. Chinese people didn’t wear shoes in the past.
