A．direct  B．useful

C．easy  D．accurate

解析：选D　阅读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个“wonderful lady”，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是)强大的，但不总是准确的。direct“直接的”；useful“有用的”；easy“容易的”；accurate“准确的”。

Mysterious, 3,000­year­old footprints of ancient Egyptian children have been discovered by a group of archaeologists (考古学家) in a recent exploration in Egypt, together with some more information about the ancient Egyptian city — Pi­Ramesses.

The footprints were uncovered at the remains of a large building in Pi­Ramesses, which was Egypt's capital during the rule of the King Ramesses Ⅱ. They have a size of 15－17 centimeters, thus relating to children between 3 and 5 years old. The archaeologists cannot yet say if there was more than one child since the differences in size are not big enough for them to distinguish. The footprints are also not so well protected that the archaeologists can't tell so far any other features of the feet. Moreover, the reason for the footprints' presence remains a mystery. Although no modern concept of banning child labor existed at that time, the footprints seem to be too small even for children who could work. What's more, it appears unlikely that the footprints belong to royal kids since they couldn't be allowed to play in the mud.

Built on an island in the easternmost Nile branch, some 65 miles northeast of Cairo, which is the capital of Egypt now, Pi­Ramesses had an extension of about 10 square miles. With a population of over 300,000, it was one of the largest cities of ancient Egypt. Pi­Ramesses was strong during the 66 years of Ramesses Ⅱ's rule and for more than a century after his death. Then the city began to wane. Just decades later, its monuments (纪念碑) and temples were destroyed. Abandoned and forgotten, Pi­Ramesses has been buried in the desert sand for thousands of years.

Today nothing of the city's splendid past can be found at the surface. However, its monumental remains have been identified through modern technologies. The findings are exciting, but the archaeologists think there should be more. They are planning to make a further exploration in the area in the next season, hoping to find out a little more about the footprints and the city.

语篇解读：考古学家们在埃及古城比兰赛发现了神秘的古代埃及小孩的脚印，并由此揭开了这座古城神秘的面纱。

5．What can we know about the footprints from the first two paragraphs?

A．The footprints were discovered by a farmer.

B．The footprints belong to some royal kids.

C．All the footprints come from the same person.

D．People still don't know why the footprints existed.

解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Moreover, the reason for the footprints' presence remains a mystery.”可知，人们还不知道这些脚印出现的原因。

6．What does the underlined word “wane” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．Become stronger.

B．Become weaker and smaller.

C．Come into existence.

D．Gain much popularity.

解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Just decades later, its monuments (纪念碑) and temples were destroyed.”可推断出wane在此处意为“衰退，衰弱”。

7．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How the footprints were discovered.

B．Why Pi­Ramesses disappeared.

C．The development process of Egypt.

D．The findings of an exploration in Egypt.

解析：选D　主旨大意题。根据第一段内容及文章大意可知，本文主要讲述了考古学家们在埃及的一次考古发现。

C

Georgina, known as Georgie, will turn 16 later this week and organized the party with two friends.Her mother said they had originally looked at the option of booking a nightclub, but decided the ￡1,000 fee was too steep. She said, “It seemed that realistically the only place Georgina could have her party was at home.”

Georgie Hobday's parents had grown­ups to be in charge, a proper guest list, and a ban on alcohol. So they thought they had her 16th birthday party under control.Unfortunately, it was advertised on Facebook.

Around 400 uninvited guests stormed into the family's townhouse in Brighton on Saturday and gatecrashed (擅自参加) the event.They violently forced their way past the adults on duty, breaking light bulbs, knocking over plants and tearing up the garden.Twelve police cars had to be called in to send them on their way.The troublemakers were the Facebook Republican Army, a group who look for teenage parties to crash through social networking sites.

Yesterday Georgie's mother was very annoyed, who said to the newspaper reporter, “It was an absolute horror show.The garden has been ruined by the teenagers and the grass is just mud.I'll never have a party for my daughter here again.I think Facebook is a major cause, as well as texting.”

A gatecrasher said this is just the kind of party they like to gatecrash. They're in their late teens and early 20s and they are quite intimidating.When they turn up at a teenage party they know that no one will dare to say anything to them so they can do what they want.Once they've found a party they put the word out through texts and news spreads fast.

A Sussex police spokesman said, “There was a sea of people, and it was hard to move, which was a major safety problem that required a lot of police time and resources.” Mrs Meli added, “I do understand at that age they have nowhere to go because they couldn't go to clubs.But invading (蜂拥而入) someone else's party and wasting police time and money is not the answer.Something must be done to educate and guide the teenagers' bad behaviors.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。即将16岁的Georgie在家里举办了生日聚会，但“脸书共和军”在她生日当天不请自来，不仅破坏了她的生日聚会，而且把她家弄得乱七八糟。

8．What made Georgie's parents give up holding the party at a nightclub?

A．The high cost.　　　 　 B．The limited time.

C．The safety problem.  D．The noisy atmosphere.

解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Her mother said they had originally looked at the option of booking a nightclub, but decided the ￡1,000 fee was too steep.”可知，Georgie的父母原打算预订一家夜总会为她举办16岁生日聚会，但是他们觉得1 000英镑的费用太贵，最终决定在家里给她举办生日聚会。故选A。

9．What can we know about Georgie's mother?

A．She arranged the party with Georgie.

B．She has disadvantaged backgrounds.

C．She regretted holding the party at home.

D．She throws a birthday party for Georgie yearly.

解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It was an absolute horror show.The garden has been ruined by the teenagers and the grass is just mud.I'll never have a party for my daughter here again.”可知，Georgie的妈妈认为这完全是个恐怖秀，她再也不在家里为女儿举办聚会了。由此可推知，Georgie的妈妈很后悔在家里为女儿举办生日聚会。故选C。

10．What does the underlined word “intimidating” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Ambitious.  B．Frightening.

C．Thoughtless.  D．Curious.

解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的句子可知，参加聚会的不速之客认为当他们出现在青少年的聚会上时，这些青少年不敢对他们说什么，于是他们就可以为所欲为。由此可推断画线词的意思为“可怕的，令人害怕的”，与frightening的意思相近。故选B。

11．What's Mrs Meli's attitude towards the Facebook Republican Army?

A．Concerned.  B．Supportive.

C．Doubtful.  D．Negative.

解析：选D　观点态度题。根据最后一段的“But invading (蜂拥而入) someone else's party and wasting police time and money is not the answer.”可知，Georgie的妈妈认为“脸书共和军”闯入别人的聚会的行为是在浪费警方的时间和金钱，是不可取的。由此可知，她对“脸书共和军”持否定的态度。故选D。

tips 利用but/however巧解阅读理解题

通过研究近几年高考阅读理解试题，我们不难发现but和however的重现率较高，几乎每年高考阅读理解都有一些题目的答案与这两个词有关，故应高度重视这两个词，特别是其后的内容。表示转折的but和however有很强的意义强调功能，对我们判断上下文文意、推断作者态度、猜测人物心理、理清文章层次都具有举足轻重的作用。but和however在文中通常有以下几种作用：

①引出作者的观点，反驳but前面的观点(普遍观点)；

②通过对比引出相反或相对的信息；

③表明作者的态度或提出作者的建议。

例如上文C篇阅读中第11小题，本题为观点态度题。定位文章最后一段的“But invading (蜂拥而入) someone else's party and wasting police time and money is not the answer.”，由but后的内容可知，Georgie的妈妈认为“脸书共和军”闯入别人的聚会的行为是在浪费警方的时间和金钱，是不可取的。即她对“脸书共和军”持否定的态度。
