答案解析

D2

1. D. 根据she uses math, physics and psychology to uncover the clues in her dad’s notebook可知D正确。根据Laureth doesn’t rely on supernatural powers to solve the mystery可知B错误。根据But one day she reads a message that worries her. It’s from a New York kid who has found her father’s notebook under a railway bridge.可知A，C都是错误的。

2. B. 根据The best part of the book, said The Guardian, is that it gives “a fascinating glimpse (一瞥) into several wonderful branches of science explained more clearly and entertainingly than you are likely to find anywhere else”可知B是正确的。A，D两项没有提到。根据第一段内容可知C项是错误的。

3. A. 根据文章内容可知Laureth虽然是盲人女孩，但是仍然和弟弟一起勇闯纽约，寻找父亲失踪的线索。可见她勇敢而坚强。B项的humorous没有提到，C项的careless和D项的proud是错误的。

D3

1. C. 根据第二、三段的内容可知作者之所以写第一段，是为了引发人们对于金字塔建造方法的关注。全文的主要内容就是介绍英国工程师Peter James对金字塔建造的传统推测理论的质疑。

2. B. 根据Based on his research on their inner structure (结构), he has suggested that they were actually built inside out和Instead of long ramps on the outside, zigzagging (弯曲的) ramps were built inside the pyramids, James says可知金字塔的建造可能是从内向外开始的。所以B正确。根据Also, unlike the previous theory, which required that the ramps were removed after construction, this suggests that inner ramps were kept inside the pyramids可知D是错误的。根据Also, under current theories, to lay 2 million large blocks, the Egyptians would have had to lay a block once every three minutes, and it would have taken 100,000 people. 可知A项是一个荒谬的假设，事实上是无法成立的。根据Huge blocks that weighed several tons per piece were only used on the outside, and they were, too, carried up along the ramps and placed on the surface using scaffolding, just like how modern houses are built可知最大块的石头放在外面，而不是里面，所以C项是错误的。

3. B. 根据Peter James的推测，埃及人从内部开始建造金字塔，用内部的坡道将巨石移动到顶端后再通过脚手架固定在外部，而里面则使用较小的石块。

D4

1. C. 结合第二段的内容，特别是When I'm depressed, I clean. One day I was scrubbing and found an unmarked CD covered with cat hair and dust，可知作者实在打扫卫生的时候偶然和诗歌结缘的。

2. C. 原文提到I became fascinated with poetry, not primarily as a literary art, but instead as a powerful healing medicine to unlock the richness of the inner life，可见诗歌帮助作者治疗心灵的创伤，丰富精神生活。

3. B. 根据Then, in the fall of 2008, poetry rescued me in a way I had never expected.可知作者举金融危机时期自己遇到难关后借助诗歌排遣坏心情的例子来说明诗歌在她生活中的重要作用。

D5

1. B。这里对应上文的“I felt incredibly lost”，作者爱狗丢失之后，感觉到很失落，选项里只有B符合语境。

2. C。句意为：作者在网站里找各种各样也叫Cassie的狗。光从图片上看不出狗的忠诚，作者对于怀念爱犬，不至于找凶悍的狗，所以B、D不对。

3. D。前面提到了作者在各大网站搜索名叫Cassie狗，然后无意发现了一个关于收养宠物的网站。Thought of 想起；looked up 查询；referred to 提及；came across 偶然碰见，所以只有D项符合语境。

4. C。既然是关于宠物收养的网站，那么该网站介绍的小狗Cassie应该是被收养的。

5. A。由“their Cassie could have passed as a twin for mine” 以及下文的“and agreed that it was an amazing coincidence (巧合) that the two dogs looked so similar”可知，作者发现了被收养的小狗Cassie不仅与自己的爱犬名字相同，而且长相也很相似，所以这一巧合出乎作者意料之外，所以选A（令人惊奇的）。

6. C。由上文的“their Cassie could have passed as a twin for mine”以及下文的“and agreed that it was an amazing coincidence (巧合) that the two dogs looked so similar”可以推知，这只狗与作者的狗相似点很多，故选C。appearances（外貌）不能选，因为这里强调的是它们的相似性，而不是强调外貌引人注目。

7. A。作者在网站上发现了Cassie，那么想进一步关注的话，只能发送邮件给该网站的负责人，所以选A。ran 管理，经营；shared 分享；browsed 浏览；recommended 推荐。

8. D。前面提到作者给网站负责人写了邮件，下文提到了作者收到回复后很感动，所以这里指的是作者没有料想（expect）到还会收到回信。

9. B。前后分句之间是因果关系，故选B。

10. A。作者是在网页上浏览东西，所以这里指的是关于Cassie的网页页面（page）是四年以前的，故选A。

11. C。上文提到了“I sent an e-mail to the woman who 7 the website, along with a picture of my dog”，作者在去信中提到了自己丢失的爱犬，所以救助站的负责人来信应该是对作者丧失爱狗表示难过与同情，所以选C。

12. A。上文提到了两只狗的名字一样，所以选A。

13. B。由下文可知，Cassie不再呆在以前那个收养人家，已经被另外一户人收养，所以答案为B。

14. C。在被其他人收养之前，Cassie是先被送回该救助所，所以选C。

15. D。由下文可知，作者这次意外地收到了来自Cassie的第二个收养家庭的来信，所以答案为D。

16. A。由下文“The couple had 18 some recent photos of their Cassie, saying how glad they were to have her.”可知，这对夫妇是现在照顾Cassie的人。Ask for 询问；care about在意，担心；look for 寻找。

17. B。这里介绍了作者收到了第二封信的原因，因为救助站的负责人把作者的信转发给了这对夫妇。Forward转发；return 交回；explain 解释；introduce 介绍。

18. D。这里指的是这对夫妇在来信中附上了小狗Cassie的照片。Attach （附加）符合语境。

19. C。对于作者丧失爱犬，他们应该是表示同情，所以选C。

20. A。由上文可知，作者与给他写信的人只是陌生人而已，但是他们从遥远的地方送来他们的祝福，让作者倍感温暖，所以答案为A。
