　　(2011年高考广东卷) Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, 例1

　　and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog. However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission. 31.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______． A. early B. sweetly C. quickly

　　D. smoothly 【解析】　swimmingly所在句子的意思是:很有可能这两种宠物相处的很甜蜜.由此可知swimmingly与sweetly意思相同,选B. 【答案】　B

　　(2011年高考浙江卷) One evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she heard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her Renault Clio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, 例2

　　she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the tracks. Ceely’s near_miss made the news because she blamed it on her GPS device (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,” she told the BBC. 42.The phrase“near miss” (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by________． A. close hit B. heavy loss C. narrow escape

　　D. big mistake 【解析】　GPS把她带到了飞速运行的火车线路上,这是一次非常危险的经历,但是她并没有发生意外,算是死里逃生,near miss, narrow escape表达的就是这层含义.其实根据第一段最后一句the train drag her car almost a kilometer down the railway tracks,火车拖着她的车差点就进入铁轨了,所以是死里逃生啊. 【答案】　C 跟踪训练 We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class. “You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing,“The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.” We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard,rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured_up our designs.

　　Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize,each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies,one hopeful would announce,while another practiced looking serious,wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster.

　　Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs,and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness.

　　It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of.Making all of us believe we had a fair chance,and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.

　　I believe I drew a sailboat,but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen,and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize,and then someone distracted me,and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk,thinking,What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

It must include the words on the blackboard. 解析:选D.细节理解题.由第二段末句,老师说的话You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster可知. 2.The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means________.
