本文介绍了堪称世界上最伟大的天才——达?芬奇在发明、艺术等方面为人类所作的巨大贡献，文章层次分明，通俗易懂。 (C)1. A. took

B. made

C. painted

D. invented

【解析】C。为了引出话题人物━━达?芬奇，这里引用了设问手法，问题应表示“是谁画了世界上最著名的画”，故选择动词painted。 (B)2. A. artists

B. doctors

C. painters

D. people

【解析】B。对人体比较了解的莫过于医生了，将达?芬奇与医生相比才能显示其对人体的精通。故选择doctors。 (A)3. A. to

B. of

C. for D. from

【解析】A。介词to常表示一一对应的关系，“问题的答案”习惯表达为an answer to a question。

(D)4. A. the scientists B. the artists C. the world

D. people

【解析】D。达?芬奇应是世人所知道的天才中最伟大的人，the world 一般指每个人，相当于第三人称单数，故people为正确选项。 (D)5. A. draw

B. paint C. work D. build

2

【解析】D。draw和paint不合文意, work为不及物动词，不能直接接宾语。在那个时代，达?芬奇所不能做的应是制造飞机，故选择build。 (B)6. A. was just longer

【解析】B。这一句起承上启下的作用，意为“达?芬奇不仅仅是一名发明家”，故选择 wasn’t just

(C)7. A. less

B. no

C. even D. very

B. wasn’t just C. wasn’t D. was no

【解析】C。less和no不合文章，very不能用来修饰比较级，而even常用来修饰比较级，意为“甚至更……”，故为正确选项。 (A)8. A. before

B. after

C. because D. when

【解析】A。为了使自己的画达到最高境界，应在画这幅画之前去尝试不同的画法，所以应选before。 (B)9. A. him

D. surprising

【解析】C。达?芬奇的名作━━Mona Lisa以画中人物面部神秘的微笑而名扬天下，故选smiling

三、阅读理解 A段

【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 In the mid-1950s，I was a somewhat bored early-ado lescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_

was_wasted_effort.One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment. In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)．

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day.On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.

Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from

student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.

When Mrs.Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I...I didn't get anything，”I answered，and my face felt warm. “Correct，”she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework.Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one. 1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate? A．It is wise to value one's time. B．It is important to make an effort. C．It is right to stick to one's belief. D．It is enough to do the necessary.

2．Usually，Mrs.Totten asked her students to ________. A．recite their homework together B．grade their homework themselves C．answer their homework questions orally D．check the answers to their homework questions

3．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.

A．asked questions in a regular way

4

B．walked up and down when asking questions C．chose two or three questions for the students

D．requested her students to finish their usual questions

4．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________. A．the class didn't begin as usual B．several students didn't come to school C．he didn't try hard to make his estimate

D．Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class

5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A．An Unforgettable Teacher B．A Future Mathematician C．An Effective Approach D．A Valuable Lesson 答案：

【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。作者通过回忆自己小时候不完成家庭作业，只是应付数学老师所提问题的故事，告诉大家自己从这件事中受到的教育以及吸取的教训。

1．D 解析：考查句意理解。根据语境可知，作者认为只要做必要的事就够了，故D项正确。 2．C 解析：考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions”可知，大多数时候，老师只要求学生口头回答家庭作业。

3．A 解析：考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知，作者的数学老师总是按照题目顺序和学生的座位顺序提问，很有规律。故A项正确。

4．B 解析：考查细节理解。根据第六段第一句“What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate”可知，作者没有料到的是有几个学生缺课，没有来学校，所以他没有估计对自己要回答的问题。故选B。

5．D 解析：考查标题判断。根据全文尤其是文章最后一段可知，本文主要讲述了作者从自己应付数学老师所提问题而有一次差点失败这件事上吸取了教训，上了宝贵的一堂课。故D项最适合作文章标题。 B段
