答案以及解析
1答案及解析：
答案：
CBBC
解析：
1.C细节理解题。
根据第一段第三句中的Heisaherowhoshockedtheworldbyfightingforpeacebetweenraces可知曼德拉被南非人民热爱是因为他一生都在为争取和平、反对种族歧视奋斗。
2.B细节理解题。
根据第二段第四句Hisportrait（肖像）hasappearedatmanyplaces,includingonsomegoods.可知他的肖像已经出现在许多地方,包括一些商品上。
3.B推理判断题。
本句Inourgeneration,thegodspresenteduswithNelsonMandela.字面意思是"在我们这一代,上帝将NelsonMandela赠给了我们"。
因为NelsonMandela是人类的英雄与偶像,所以这句话的意思是"我们很自豪能生活在曼德拉时代",故本题答案为B。
4.C主旨大意题。
根据全文内容,尤其是第一段中的NelsonMandelaisrespectedandadmiredaroundtheworld.AndtoSouthAfricansheisasuperstar.Heisaherowhoshockedtheworldbyfightingforpeacebetweenraces和最后一段可知,纳尔逊·曼德拉在全世界都受到尊敬和钦佩,对南非人来说,他是一个英雄。
2答案及解析：
答案：
BBCA
解析：
1.B【命题意图】考查细节理解。
【解题思路】根据CrazyCooking中的"Atthesamelime,youwilllearnmathbyworkingwithlotsofnumbersandmeasurements（尺寸）"可知,通过玩这个游戏人们可以学习数学。
故选B。
2.B【命题意图】考查简单计算。
【解题思路】根据最后一段中的"EachofthesenewgamescomesonCD-ROMandcostsonly$15.95"可知，每个游戏的售价是$15.95,那么两个则是$31.9。
3.C【命题意图】考查写作意图。
【解题思路】根据最后一段中的"Theywillgiveyoulotsoffun,andyou'lllearnmanythingsfromthem.Sodon’twait!
Gototheshopnow"可知，作者鼓励读者购买这几款游戏，故选C项。
4.A【命题意图】考查文幸出处。
【解题思路】这是推荐给读者游戏软件的文章，不可能出自字典、故事书和日记,因此选A。
3答案及解析：
答案：
ADGBF
解析：
1.前一句说到语言的力量有时难以理解，表示转折关系的A项说到“但是一句鼓励的话可以走比较长的一段路（长时间起作用）”符合题意。
2.根据下文有关鼓励性的话的力量的例子可知，这里是说明它的作用，所以选项D符合题意。
3.分析本段语意可知，此处是说语言的破坏性，许多孩子有被家长批评的经历，G项与上文语意衔接，故为本题答案。
4.下文指出“你，并且只有你要对你做出的每一个决定负责”，这里的"decisionyoumake"与选项B中的"thechoicesyoumake"相匹配。
5.下文的"failintheexam"与选项F中的"Introubleorneedinghelp"相匹配，故选F项。
