　　2.D　推理判断题。由第四段的As I walked towards him,I noticed the lunch bag on the table.The name on the bag said “Katie”可推知,那个男孩吃的午饭是Katie给他的,故选D项。

　　【疑难词汇解读】

　　1.run up升起,积欠

　　She ran up an enormous phone bill.

　　她积欠了一大笔电话费。

　　2.charge n.负责;价钱;费用;指责 v.(向……)开价;(使)充电;指责

　　他收我50元的修手机钱。

　　【长难句子分析】

　　The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table.

　　本句是一个主从复合句。主句为The problem was still unsolved the next week,从句是when引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the next week。在定语从句中,who was new to the school是定语从句,修饰a boy,sitting alone at a lunch table是现在分词短语在句中作宾语补足语。

　　这个问题直到下一周仍未解决,这时我注意到一个新来到这所学校的男孩独自坐在一张饭桌旁。

　　(　B　)

　　语篇解读:文章主要介绍了夏威夷火山国家公园。岛上有五座火山,其中的莫纳罗亚火山和基拉韦厄火山都是世界上最为活跃的活火山。

　　5.A　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“There is something that is three hundred and four meters taller than Mount Qomolangma.” 可以看出,作者把莫纳罗亚火山和珠穆朗玛峰的高度进行比较,是为了突出强调莫纳罗亚火山的高度,而不是其长度、大小和活跃度。所以答案为A项。

　　6.D　词义猜测题。根据第四段中“ At this moment,red hot lava is pouring out of Kilauea.”和“Sometimes the lava moves slowly.”推知,从基拉韦厄火山内喷发出的炽热的、能够流动的东西只能是“熔岩”。ash rock凝灰岩;solid rock坚岩,坚石;bed rock基岩,底岩。所以答案为D项。

　　7.D　正误判断题。由第三、四段可知,莫纳罗亚火山自1843年以来爆发了30多次,而基拉韦厄火山近百年以来爆发了50多次,可知答案为D项。

　　8.A　主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Mauna Loa and Kilauea together form Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii.”可知,本文主要介绍了夏威夷火山国家公园中火山的情况,重点介绍了其中的莫纳罗亚火山和基拉韦厄火山这两座世界上最为活跃的活火山。A项可涵盖全文内容,B、C项含义太窄,D项含义太偏。所以答案为A项。
