longer on the Internet.DThe Internet cant find enough information about her.B推理判断题。根据画线句后的“But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting.”可知，这只猫得到的不仅仅是关注。由此可推断出，“the Internet cant get enough of her”的意思为：这只猫在网络上得到了很大的关注。故选B。2What made Grumpy Cat bee famous?AHer unusual appearance.BHer bad temper.CHer short and fat body.DHer unique fur.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“take a photo of her funnylooking cat”和第五段中的“which makes her constantly frowning.But that unique frown”可知，是这只猫特别的长相使她出名了。故选A。3About Tabatha Bundesen，we know that Ashe now works as a waitressBshe feels very tired of her famous catCshe only manages her cats modeling careerDshe is too busy to go home to visit her parentsC细节理解题。根据第七段第一句中的“she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cats modeling career”可知，选C。4The general idea of the last paragraph is Ahow the cat can bee so famousBhow the cat can make so much moneyCwhat the film about the cat is namedDhow the cats owner spends so much moneyB段落大意题。文章最后一段的内容告诉我们Tardar是如何赚如此多的钱的。故选B。(xx东北三省四市教研联合体模拟)Try rubbing (摩擦) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket.It should bee hot.In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm.The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called “friction (摩擦力)”In the same way，people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby.The heat set the leaves or grass alight.This was a difficult way of making fire.Better ways were found by using flint (火石)，but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England.Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match.The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorus (磷)，a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly.The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight.By rubbing the end of the match on sandpaper，the friction easily set the phosphorus alight.These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces，including the leather sole (鞋底) of a shoe.At the time，everyone thought this was a wonderful invention.Unfortunately accidents happened.A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated.Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket！Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire.What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface.In 1852，the safety match was invented in Sweden.No phosphorus was used in the match headit was put on the outside of the matchbox instead.This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorus.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了火柴的发明过程。5Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood?AThe leaves or grass is easy to be alight.BThe leaves or grass covered the wood well.CThe leaves or grass helped the air cause heat.DThe leaves or grass acted as the role of a match.A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the same way，people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby.The heat set the leaves or grass alight.”可知，与天气冷时人们摩擦取暖一样，住山洞的人用干燥的树叶和草是因为它们容易擦燃。故选A。6What was the match made of in 1827?ALeather soles，sandpaper and leaves.BWood，leather soles and sandpaper.CPhosphorus，wood and sandpaper.DPhosphorus，sandpaper and flint.C细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorus (磷).The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight.By rubbing the end of the match on sandpaper.”可知，当时火柴中含有phosphorus，wood和sandpaper。故选C。7If we used the safety match，we could see Aloose matches could catch fire fiercelyBphosphorus wasnt needed inside matchboxesCthere were matches and sandpaper in matchboxesDthe special surface containing sandpaper and phosphorusD推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorus.”可知，我们能看到火柴盒特殊的表面上含砂纸和磷。故选D。.完形填空(xx太原高三四校联考)Ann worked for a big pany.One of the duties of her 1
