Answer 1

分析 文章講述了在 Papua New Guinea，the Niowra tribe 一個特別的習(xí)俗，即男孩要成為男人必須經(jīng)過和鱷魚在 一起，并戰(zhàn)勝這種心理才能成為真正的男子漢．

解答 EFCGD 
36．E 推理題．根據(jù)后面的句子When it is time for teenage boys to become men，a‘crocodile ceremony （儀式）'takes place可知，在這個部落青少年要成為男人必須舉行鱷魚儀式，所以那里的人認(rèn)為鱷魚成就了人類，故選E．
37．F 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)該段的第一句The boys are taken to a small room called…男孩被帶入叫做鱷魚窩的屋子里，所以下句應(yīng)該并列，即The boys are told to…故選F．
38．C 細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)前句The boys play the drums together during their t ime in the room可知，男孩子們在屋里一起打鼓，這有助于他們覺得自己不是一個人，故選C．
39．G 細(xì)節(jié)題．前面提到The Niowra believe that this ceremony makes the boys stronger and braver…他們認(rèn)為這個儀式讓男孩更強(qiáng)壯，所以下文承接提到他們還說…故選G．
40．D 歸納題．最后一段Then the crocodile men enter the world of adults and are given adult responsibilities in the village男孩真正進(jìn)入男人的世界并給予責(zé)任，所以這應(yīng)該是發(fā)生在儀式結(jié)束的時候，故選D．

點評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力．做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確選擇．在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實，要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．
