7.Two-year-old Harley was asleep with her younger sister in their home in Eden,North Carolina.While their parents were outside welcoming their older sister home from school,the wires in the family's laundry room caught fire and before anyone knew what was happening,the bedroom next door was consumed in flames.Harley's father was able to rescue his two youngest daughters and save their lives,but Harley was severely burned on 80percent of her body and her parents were told that she was likely to pass away.Over the next several months,Harley would put up with surgery after surgery and remain hooked up to a ventilator(呼吸机)at the hospital.When she was finally released to go home,Harley had no idea that the toughest battle had not even begun yet.
When Harley started school just a few years later,she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be.Bullied for her appearance and called hateful names,she began to consider ending her life while only in Grade 8.When her friends were getting their first boyfriends and going on their first dates,she was sitting at home wondering if she should end her life.
But in 2013,something changed.It was not something on the outside but something inside Harley.She made the conscious decision to become more like the carefree,laughing,joyous little girl that she had not seen since that night in 1997.So for the first time in her life,she put on a blue dress and walked outside into the light of day throwing caution to the wind and daring anyone to try to rain on her parade.
21.What was the toughest battle for Harley?B
A.Her sister's death.

分析 2岁的哈利遭遇火灾,上学后,同龄人的取笑侮辱是她要克服的巨大挑战,八年级时她想过自杀,但经过16年的心里磨练,她选择勇敢面对一切风雨.过去的黑暗没有击垮她,她从黑暗中站立起来.
解答 21.B 细节理解题.根据第二段"Harley had no idea the toughest battle had not even begun yet"和第三段第一行"she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be"可知哈利最大的挑战是同伴们的歧视.故选B.
22.A 判断推理题.16年(1997-2013)后,哈利选择用积极的态度面对生活.B 文中并未提及哈利曾多次自杀.C 最后一段的"rain"并非指"雨天",而是指"泼冷水".D 与最后一段第二句不相符.
23.D 标题概括题.纵观全文可知,文章主要讲哈利历经16年的磨练,从黑暗中站立起来.D最佳地概括了文章主旨.A选项只是强调外在力量而且过于生硬.BC在文中找不到根据.
点评 本文是人物故事类阅读理解.做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍,做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析,结合选项选出正确答案.推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案,切忌胡乱猜测,一定要做到有理有据

2.Number sense is not the ability to count.It is the ability to recognize a(16)C in number.Human beings are born with this ability.(17)B,experiments show that many animals are,too.For example,many birds have good number sense.If a nest has four eggs and you remove one,the bird will not(18)D.However,if you remove two,the bird(19)Aleaves.This means that the bird knows the (20)Cbetween two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's(21)Anumber sense.A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower,but the crow always left when she saw him coming.The bird did not(22)Duntil the man left the tower.The man had an(23)C.He took another man with him to the tower.One man left and the other stayed,but they did not(24)B the bird.The crow stayed away until the second man left,too.The experiment was(25)Dwith three men and then with four men.But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were(26)B.It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were(27)D able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense?It's not very good.For example,babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a (28)B group.But when the number goes beyond three or four,the children are(29)Dfooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world,and that our human (30)C is not much better than a crow's.
