41.Thebesttitleforthepassagewouldbe“________”.

A.DevelopmentoftheNationalFlagB.PoweroftheNationalFlag

C.TypesofFlagsD.UsesofFlags

【答案】A

【解析】标题归纳题。

“Itis,rather,theproductofthousandsofyears’development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。

而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向，一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。

所以本文说的是国旗的发展。

故选A。

42.Theunderlinedword“vulnerable”inParagraph3means________.

A.impossibletomakesureofB.likelytobeprotected

C.easytobedamagedD.difficulttofind

【答案】C

【解析】词义猜测题。

本段第一句“Earlyhumanbeingsusedveryfragilehousesandboats.”说早期人类使用非常易坏的的房屋和船只。

而本句“People’sfoodsuppliesweresimilarlyvulnerable.”中“similarly”意为“同样地”，所以"

vulnerable”也表示“易损坏”。

故选C。

43.Theearliestflagswereconnectedwithheavenlypowerbecause________.

A.theycouldtelldirection

B.theycouldbringgoodlucktoancientfighters

C.theywerehandeddownbytheancestors

D.theywerebelievedtostan
