Question

【題目】

	We all give names to our pets. But would you give a name to your family’s car? Many American adults enjoy doing this and there’s even a fun “holiday” called “National Name Your Car Day”. The most popular names for cars are “Bob” and “Betsy”.
	How big can this bookshelf be? In fact, it’s a building. One of its walls just looks like a bookshelf. The building is in Zhejiang. It’s about 20 meters high. Each of the “books” is about 2 meters high. There are many plants on another side of the building. A soccer field is on the top of the building.
	Peeling a banana is pretty easy. But a Japanese company produces a new kind of banana called “Mongee”. It looks just like any other bananas, but its peel is edible. It tastes like lettuce. The banana trees are grown in a cold place at first. But then they are moved to a warmer place while they are still growing.
	Most trees grow in forests. But this one has grown all by itself. It’s the loneliest tree on Earth. The nearest tree is over 200 kilometers away. The loneliest tree is on Campbell Island. The island is not a good place for plants to grow. It has high wind and little sunshine. It’s surprising that the tree was able to grow there.

【解析】

這篇短文給我們講述了四個(gè)有趣的常識(shí)：第一段是關(guān)于很多美國(guó)人都喜歡給自己的汽車(chē)取個(gè)名字；第二段介紹了一個(gè)巨大的書(shū)架；第三段介紹了日本生產(chǎn)的一種新的香蕉；最后一段講述的是最“孤獨(dú)”的樹(shù)。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“Many American adults enjoy doing this…”、“The building is in Zhejiang”、“But a Japanese company produces a new kind of banana…”，可知文中提到的國(guó)家有the US，China，Japan，故排除A、B、D，故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Many American adults enjoy doing this and there’s even a fun ‘holiday’ called ‘National Name Your Car Day’”可知美國(guó)成年人喜歡給自己的汽車(chē)取名字，故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“How big can this bookshelf be? In fact, it’s a building. One of its walls just looks like a bookshelf”可知，浙江的這棟建筑不尋常的原因是它的一面墻像書(shū)架。故選D。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。下句“It tastes like lettuce”描述了香蕉皮的味道，推測(cè)畫(huà)線(xiàn)詞意為“可食用”，A項(xiàng)符合題意。故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中“The loneliest tree is on Campbell Island. The island is not a good place for plants to grow. It has high wind and little sunshine”，可知這棵樹(shù)所生長(zhǎng)的島嶼風(fēng)大、陽(yáng)光少，環(huán)境惡劣，不適宜植物生存。由文中“The nearest tree is over 200 kilometers away”，可知離這棵樹(shù)最近的樹(shù)也在200公里之外，因此這棵樹(shù)是獨(dú)自在這島嶼上生長(zhǎng)的。故D項(xiàng)“這棵樹(shù)在惡劣的環(huán)境下獨(dú)自生長(zhǎng)著”符合題意。故選D。
