explores with her father on a snowy night.She longs for this special night.And shes amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before?Amazement?Well,if you have,it helps you have a sense of

turning the page to find a scary monster.They are just pictures,but the feelings are real.This skill,to understand the thinking and feeling of others,is what researchers call “theory of mind”.For example,think about the faces of people and animals in stories.TheBigBadWolfs scary teeth.The o shape of a surprised characters mouth.Or big,wide eyes like the girl in OwlMoon.By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.But most young readers dont go into deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the book Yo!Yes? two kids meet and play ball.The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball,but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.12.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A.OwlMoon talks about the exploration of the Moon.B.The feeling of “amazement” is

whipping past your ears.As the ground rushes up at you,you open your parachute(降落伞).1 All in all,you are in free fall for only 30 secondsthe longest 30 seconds of your life. 2 However,a growing number of adventurers are taking the risk.Obviously skydiving isnt something you can just try,like fishing or bowling.So,if you want to attempt the sport,youll need to go to ground school. 3 The course is taught by licensed skydiving instructors who have been jumping for years.Theyll teach you how to keep your body position stable.Youll also learn to be constantly aware of your altitude and,most importantly,when to open your parachute. Once youre through with ground school,its time to get up in the air.4 Two instructors always jump with the person,ready to pull the students parachute open if he or she freezes up. 5 It certainly seems dangerous when someone is falling at 50km/hr.But,if you believe the statistics,skydiving is actually safer than driving,with one fatality(死亡) occurring in approximately 60,000 jumpers.Moreover,most enthusiasts agree all fear stops the second your feet leave the plane,and when you land,the only thought in your mind is,“Wow!I want to do that again!” A.However,a new jumper never jumps alone.B.It takes years to forget the taste of fear from skydiving.C.No doubt,youre thinking skydiving is a dangerous sport.D.It explodes over your head,pulling you back and upwards.E.For most of us,skydiving is something we only see in the movies.F.Ground school is where you learn to jump,without leaving the ground.G.Skydiving is the sport of jumping out of an airplane and falling freely through the air.答案：.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了旧金山湾区四种体育赛事。1.A解析细节理解题。根据SanFranciscoGiantsBaseball中的“Sincetheirarrivalherein1958,theyhavebeenWorldSeriesChampionsthreetimes.”可知,TheGiants曾经获得过世界冠军。2.B解析细节理解题。根据GoldenStateWarriorsBasketball中的“TheirregularseasonrunsfromlateOctoberthroughmid-April,andallhomegamesareplayedattheChaseCenterinSanFrancisco.NBAchampionships”可知,TheChaseCenter是篮球迷最喜欢的。3.D解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“SanFranciscoBayAreaisagreatplacetobeifyoureasportsfan,asyoullfindseveraleventsallyearroundandplentyofteampride.”可知,这篇文章是写给体育爱好者的。【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。美国佛罗里达州18岁的少女多纳维亚·沃克患有一种罕见疾病,导致她出生时便没有双臂。她学会了用脚做任何事情,努力奋斗,成为小军官。4.C解析细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“Peopleassumedtheconditionwouldholdherback”可知,人们认为她的残疾会影响到她,所以选C项。5.B解析推理判断题。根据第二段中的“butshedidntlistenbecausesheknewshecoulddowhatevershewanted,justinadifferentway”可知,多纳维亚·沃克意志坚强。6.D解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Infact,hesaidsheinspiredhimtostaypositiveafterbeingdiagnosedwithcancer.”可知,她给了他保持乐观的勇气和力量。7.D解析推理判断题。通读全文可知,多纳维亚·沃克出生时便没有双臂,但她学会了用脚做任何事情。她通过努力奋斗,成为小军官。她的成功向别人证明了身体上的差异并不意味着行动上受到限制,所以选D项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇新闻报道。克里斯·尼克第一次完成了铁人三项,成为世界上第一个在铁人三项比赛的历史上成功地冲过终点线的患有唐氏综合征的选手。8.A解析推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“Forhisefforts,NikicalsoearnedhimselfaplaceintheGuinnessBookofWorldRecords.”可知,尼克在铁人三项比赛中的表现证明了他的坚强。9.D解析词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Itsaboutbeinganexampletootherkidsandfamiliesthatfacesimilardifficulties.”可知,尼克的成功为其他面临类似困难的孩子和家庭提供了动力,使他们努力过上正常人的生活。所以prompted意为“被鼓励”。10.B解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“Nolimits.Noboundaries.Keepdreamingbigandgoingforit!”可知,BillieJeanKing写下这些话是为了鼓励尼克。11.C解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,尼克成为世界上第一个在铁人三项比赛的历史上成功地冲过终点线的患有唐氏综合征的选手。C项“患有唐氏综合征的运动员创造了历史”可作为文章的标题。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了情绪可以帮助我们理解故事,以及怎样学会用情绪帮助我们理解故事。12.D解析细节理解题。由第二段中的“Haveyoufeltlongingbefore?Amazement?Well,ifyouhave,ithelpsyouhaveasenseofagreement.Whenwecanputourselvesinsideastorywecanunderstanditbetter.”可知,有同样体验的人能更好地理解这个故事,故答案为D项。13.C解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“Picturesandimageshelpyoungreaderstounderstandandrecognizefeelings.Thisskill,tounderstandthethinkingandfeelingofothers,iswhatresearcherscalltheoryofmind.”可知,图片和图像可以帮助读者发展“心理理论”,故答案为C项。14.A解析细节理解题。由第五段中的“Andsomereadersmightnotlikethegame,buttheycanfeelexcitedforthecharactersbecauseofhowthecharacterslookandmove.”这一信息可知,读者可以通过故事中的具体情节,比如角色的表情和动作来深入理解故事,故答案为A项。15.C解析主旨大意题。由首段“Whataboutyouremotions?Howdotheyhelpyoutounderstandwhatyouarereading?”可知,本文主要讲述了情绪如何帮助我们理解故事,故答案为C项。.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种刺激的极限运动高空跳伞,它其实并没有看起来那么危险。1.D解析根据本空前的“fallingwiththewindwhippingpastyourears.Asthegroundrushesupatyou,youopenyourparachute”可知,此处承接上文,说的是从飞机上跳下来给你带来的感觉,所以D项符合语境。2.E解析根据上文从飞机上往下跳及本空后的“However,agrowingnumberofadventurersaretakingtherisk.”可知,空白处与之在语义上是转折关系,所以E项符合语境。3.F解析根据上一段最后一句“.youllneedtogotogroundschool”及本空后的“Thecourseistaughtbylicensedskydivinginstructors”可知,此处讲的还是关于groundschool的内容,所以F项符合语境。4.A解析根据本空后的“Twoinstructorsalwaysjumpwiththeperson”可知,跳伞初学者不会独自跳,而是由两位指导员陪跳,所以选A项。5.C解析根据本空后的“Itcertainlyseemsdangerouswhensomeoneisfallingat50km/hr.”可知,此处是说跳伞运动具有危险性,所以选C项。11
