21．What'sthepassagemainlyabout?

A．Thefirstfamilydailylife.

B．Thefirstfamilyrules.

C．Howtobegoodparents.

D．Howtobegoodstudents.

答案：

B　主旨大意题。

主题句在第二段，根据TheNewYorkTimesrecentlyreleasedalistofrulesthatMichelleObamahasmentionedovertheyearsthatMaliaandSashamustfollowduringtheirtimeintheWhiteHouse，aswellasingeneral.Seehowthefirstfamilyeducatestheirchildren.可知本文主要讲述了美国第一家庭对孩子立的规矩。

22．Whatdotheunderlinedwords“underwraps”inPara1probablymean?

A．Attractive.　　　　　　　B．Calm.

C．Secret.D．Public.

答案：

C　词义猜测题。

根据第一段的关键词mostofhispersonalbusinessisalreadyknown...however...前一句说奥巴马的个人业务方面公众都很熟悉，后一句用了转折连词however，所以关于孩子的信息应是和isknown是相反的，即“不为人所知”，所以选择secret（秘密）。

23．Whathastobefollowedafterthegirls'everytrip?

A．Emails.B．Photos.

C．Homework.D．Reports.

答案：

D　细节理解题。

根据第三段Thegirlsmustwritereportsaboutwhatthey'veseenontheirtrips，evenifit'snotrequiredbytheirschool.可知女孩子们每次旅游后要求写报告。

24．Whichofthefollowingistheexceptionforthegirls?

A．Tousecellphonefreely.B．Toplaytwosports.

C．Tolearntodolaundry.D．Toeattheirvegetables.

答案：

A　细节理解题。

第五段中有MaliaandSashahavetoplaytwosports，第六段中有Maliamustlearntodolaundry，第七段中有Thegirlshavetoeattheirvegetables，但是第四段中的信息是Maliamayusehercellphoneonlyontheweekend.所以A是例外。

B

25．What'sthemainideaofthepassage?

A．Smokingdoesharmtohealth.

B．SmokerstakeatourtotheUniversity'scampus.

C．Smokingcanaffectone'smemory.

D．Smokersarecomparedtononsmokers.

答案：

C　主旨大意题。

根据第一段Peoplewhosmokecouldlosearoundonethirdoftheirdailymemory，researcherssay.可知研究者说吸烟的人可能会丢失大约三分之一的日常记忆，所以本文讲述的是吸烟对记忆力的影响。

26．Howdidthosewhotookpartinthestudyperformwhenaskedtorecallsmalldetails?

A．Smokersdidtheworstamongtheparticipants.

B．Nonsmokerscouldrecallabouthalfofthem.

C．Smokerscouldrecallnothingatall.

D．Thosewhogaveupsmokingdidbest.

答案：

A　细节理解题。

根据第四段Smokersperformedbadly，rememberingjust59percentoftasks.Butthosewhohadgivenupsmokingremembered74percentandthosewhohadneversmokedrecalled81percentoftasks.可知吸烟者表现最差，只能记住59%；戒烟的能记住74%；从不吸烟的能记住81%，所以A项“在参与者中，吸烟者表现最差”与文章相符。

B，C，D均与文章不符。

27．AccordingtoDr.TomHeffernan，thefindings____________.

A．wouldbereallyasurprisetothepublic

B．wouldcontributetofightingagainstsmoking

C．wouldbeusedinrealworldmemorytest

D．wouldbenothingnewtotheresearchers

答案：

B　细节理解题。

根据第五段中的内容thefindingswouldbeusefulinantismokingcampaigns.可知这些发现对反对吸烟的运动是有用的。

（注意antismoking的意思是“反对吸烟的”）。

所以B项说“这些发现有助于反抗吸烟”是与Dr.TomHeffernan的说法相一致的。

28．Whatdoestheunderlinedword“impact”inthelastbutoneparagraphmostprobablymean?

A．orderB．impression

C．expressionD．effect

答案：

D　词义猜测题。

根据本段中下一句话Wealreadyknowthatgivingupsmokinghashugehealthbenefitsforthebody我们早已经知道戒烟对身体健康有很大益处，那么上一句话Thisisthefirsttimethatastudyhassetouttoexaminewhethergivingupsmokinghasanimpactonmemory讲述的就是“这是第一次着手检查戒烟是否对记忆力有影响的一项研究”。

也可以根据最后一段中的effects，推知impact是effect“影响”的意思。

order命令；impression印象；expression表达。

C
