　　【解題導(dǎo)語】　繼母的出現(xiàn)改變了作者的一生，也讓整個家庭舊貌換新顏。她的熱情深深感染了作者，讓作者領(lǐng)悟到了熱情的神奇力量。

　　2．A.distinguished

　　B．favored

　　C．mistaken

　　D．rewarded

　　解析：選A。在父親的眼中，作者不是一個好孩子，而以本地最壞的孩子“著稱”。distinguished“著名的”。

　　3．A.sooner

　　B．later

　　C．longer

　　D．earlier

　　解析：選B。父親認(rèn)為作者是本地最壞的孩子，顯然不會輕而易舉地接受繼母，不“遲于”明天早上就會向她扔石頭。

　　4．A.dragged

　　B．shook

　　C．raised

　　D．bent

　　解析：選C。根據(jù)本段后半部分繼母的話可知她不贊同作者父親的觀點(diǎn)，而是非常欣賞作者，認(rèn)為作者只是沒有把潛能發(fā)揮出來，因此表現(xiàn)出來的是愛意，所以是輕輕地“扶起”作者的頭。A項(xiàng)表示“拉”；B項(xiàng)表示“搖動”；C項(xiàng)表示“扶起，抬起”；D項(xiàng)表示“傾斜”。

　　5．A.perfect

　　C．gap

　　D．relationship

　　8．A.opinion

　　B．image

　　C．expectation

　　B．meaningful

　　C．helpful

　　D．useful

　　15．A.teaching

　　B．writing

　　C．studying

　　D．reading解析：選B。上文敘述的是“寫作”的事情，再根據(jù)空處前面的“the same kind of”可知選B項(xiàng)。

　　16．A.next

　　B．same

　　C．only

　　D．real

　　解析：選C。根據(jù)后面兩句話的內(nèi)容可知作者不是“唯一的”受益者。

　　解析：選D。當(dāng)熱情釋放的能量來支撐一個人的目標(biāo)，并且這一能量“不斷地”被信仰強(qiáng)化時，它就會產(chǎn)生不可抗拒的力量。

　　20．A.win

　　B．match

　　C．reach

　　D．doubt

　　科普知識型閱讀理解(一)

　　(一)

　　When top engineers in Germany wanted to build a more energy-efficient car, they headed to the natural history museum to study dolphins and sharks. But it was the boxfish (盒子魚)that interested them.

　　“We were surprised when this clumsy-looking fish became our model for designing an aerodynamic (空氣動力學(xué)的)car”，says Thomas Weber. He is the research and development chief for the car company Daimler. An aerodynamic design reduces wind drag and increases fuel efficiency.

　　The boxfish may look clumsy, but it can start, stop，back up and zigzag (曲折前進(jìn))through the water with ease. And it does all this using surprisingly little energy. Daimler’s bionic (仿生學(xué)的)car is modeled on the fish’s boxy skeletal (骨骼的) system. Like the fish, the car is fast and drives easily. It’s efficient too.

　　The science behind nature-inspired inventions is called biomimicry (生物仿生). Biologist Janine Benyus came up with the term. As co-founder of the Biomimicry Guild, she has worked with cereal companies，sneaker designers and others to develop products based on Nature’s best ideas.
