【解题导语】本文是一篇总分结构的说明文，介绍了西方一种传统的婚礼习俗的起源和含义。

1．C　考查推理判断。

根据文章内容可知，这两个问句承上启下，引起读者的阅读兴趣和注意力。

2．A　考查细节理解。

根据第三段中的“Inmanycases,somethingoldmayalsobesomethingborrowed”可知，一些老的物件也可以是借来的。

根据最后一段中的“thispartofthetraditionisnotusedveryofteninmoderntimes”可知，B选项错误；根据第五段中的“Theborroweditemshouldbesomethingborrowedfromafriendthatishappilymarried”可知，C项错在“anyfriend”；D项与文中的“Something‘new’isusuallytheeasiestkindtofill”不符，故排除。

3．B　考查推理判断。

通读全文可推测出，这几样新婚佩戴的物件都会给新婚夫妇带来好处。

根据最后一段中的“Sincemostbridesprobablydon'tevenknowwhatasixpenceis”可知，现在大部分新娘都不知道六便士硬币是什么，故A选项“现在，新娘都熟悉六便士硬币”错误；C选项错误，文中只说这些物件会给新婚夫妇带来好处，并未涉及新娘佩戴这些物件后是否漂亮的问题；这五种物件哪个更重要文中并未提及，因此D项错误。

4．C　考查词义猜测。

根据语境并结合画线词前的purity和其后的love可推知，“fidelity”此处意思为“忠诚”，即“loyalty”。

B

【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

文章介绍了美国医生JosephGoldberger研究糙皮病的患病原因的过程。

JosephGoldberger医生的认真、牺牲精神令人感动。

【难句分析】Thedoctorcametobelievethatthediseasedidn'tpassonfromonetoanother，butwasinsteadrelatedtofood.

分析：

本句是一个含有that引导的宾语从句的主从复合句。

that从句中，but连接两个并列的谓语。

译文：

这位医生渐渐相信这种病不是传染性的，而是与食物有关。

5．C　考查细节理解。

根据第二段中的“Mostofthepeoplelivedahardlife...thediseasedidn'tpassonfromonetoanother，butwasinsteadrelatedtofood”，再结合Goldberger在监狱进行的实验的内容可知，在JosephGoldberger看来，糙皮病和食物有关，而且患者大多生活条件差；再结合实验中提到的主要吃玉米制品的犯人最后患上了该病可知，不良的饮食容易导致人们患糙皮病。

6．B　考查推理判断。

根据第二段中提到的Goldberger认为糙皮病不是传染病以及第四段中提到的他为了证明自己的观点而进行的实验的内容（将患糙皮病的人的血液注射到自己的体内、将糙皮病病人的鼻腔和口腔中的液体放入自己的鼻腔和口腔以及吞咽含有糙皮病病人的皮肤组织的药丸）和结果（他没患病）可推知，Goldberger进行实验是为了证明糙皮病不传染。

7．A　考查推理判断。

文中提到的Goldberger在监狱及在他自己身上做实验的内容表明他全心全意地投入到对糙皮病的研究中，有奉献精神；尽管一些人不认可Goldberger的观点，但他仍坚持自己的看法并坚决地去证明自己的观点是正确的，这体现出他意志坚定。

故选A。

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，阐述了一种社会现象：

有些人总是热衷于参加各种形式的比赛活动，目的就是获奖。

你是否有过类似的经历呢？

【难句分析】Ofcoursecompetitionsthatoffermoneyprizesattractentryfrommillionsofpeople，makingtheoddsofwinningveryunlikely.

分析：

本句是一个复合句。

thatoffermoneyprizes是定语从句，修饰先行词competitions。

makingtheoddsofwinningveryunlikely是现在分词短语作结果状语。

译文：

当然，提供现金奖励的比赛会吸引成千上万的人参与，这就使得获胜的概率变得很小了。

8．B　考查推理判断。

This指的应是前面的“Ifyoudon'ttrysomething，howcanyousucceed？

”，再结合第二段提到的人们参加比赛赢奖可知，此处指的是对于比赛来说，一个人必须先参与进去然后才有可能赢得比赛，故选B。

9．C　考查推理判断。

根据第二段中的“Therearepeoplewhoregularlytakepartinallsortsofcompetitions...it’saboutbeingawinnerandbeingrewardedwithaprize”可知，compers指的是那些频繁地参加比赛以获取奖品的人。

故选C。

10．A　考查词义猜测。

根据画线词所在句“Ofcoursecompetitionsthatoffermoneyprizesattractentryfrommillionsofpeople，makingthe
