26、e to things that were dead.”和最后一段“Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.”可知，对作者来说生命的秘密是使死去的东西复活。故正确答案为A。2答案与解析：D细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Elizabeth was brave and helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mothers death，”可知正确答案

27、为D。3答案与解析：C细节理解题。由第六段中的“I was interested in my work and I did not take one days holiday during the next two years.”可知作者在接下来的两年里努力学习，没有请过一天假。故选C。4答案与解析：B推理判断题。由第四段第二句“I remembered the storm when I was 15; I remembered how the lightning had destroyed the trees.”可知作者在15岁时经历了暴风雨，由文章第一段可知作者17岁时丧母，所以排除A、C

28、项。由第三段和第六段可知作者先参加教授的演讲，然后接受教授的帮助，所以B项符合事件发生顺序，故正确答案为B。B【语篇解读】本文为说明文，主要介绍了冰激凌品尝师这份很酷的工作。5答案与解析：D细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一、二句“Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an Official Taste Tester for the past 21 years.”可知，John Harrison是一名冰激凌品尝师。故正确答案为D。6答案与解析：B细节

29、理解题。根据文章第三段第三句“He points out that a dairy or foodscience degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this cool field.”可知，John Harrison指出，乳制品或食品科学学位对那些想在这个领域工作的人来说非常有用。即要想获得进入该领域的资格，获得相关学科的学位是很有帮助的。故正确答案为B。7答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段第二句“He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12”可知Harrison在

30、试吃冰激凌时，首先会让冰激凌升温到大约12华氏度。故正确答案为C。8答案与解析：D标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知，这篇文章主要介绍了冰激凌品尝师这份很酷的工作，故以“一份很酷的工作”作为文章标题最恰当。故D项正确。C【语篇解读】主题：人与自我(健康的生活方式)；话题：美国孩子的运动量。本文是说明文，阐述了多数美国孩子运动量不足的现象。9答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据前两段可知，新的研究发现大多数美国孩子的锻炼量不够，只有四分之一的孩子有足够的运动量。故选B项。10答案与解析：A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，Lets Move是一项让学生动起来的活动，目的是保持身体健康，故选A项。11答案与解析：A细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，这个研究也表明进行体育锻炼的学生成绩可能会更好，由此可知选A项。12答案与解析：C词义猜测题。根据画线词后面时间状语以及上下文内容可知，这一活动是由米歇尔奥巴马在2010年发起的。故选C项。
