3. C 根據(jù)文章最后一句“And when I find a peney on the ground,I always pick it up .That brings me good luck all day!”可知C正確。
4. A 也是細(xì)節(jié)題的考查,根據(jù)“We have a horseshoe over the front door of our house for good luck,”says Ben可知答案選A。
5. B 主旨題的考查。文章主要講的是好運(yùn)氣與壞運(yùn)氣,故選B。A答案只是講一只黑貓,只是文章一個(gè)方面;同樣C也只是文章的一個(gè)方面,不能全面概況全文。

Frankenstein is one of the world’s most famous horror stories. It’s about a doctor who creates a new man from the body parts of dead people and brings it to life. But the experiment goes wrong and the monster(怪獸) kills the doctor and many others. The story has been read by millions since it was first published and in the last hundred years it has been made into dozens of movies.

Sharks frighten most of us, but Daniel Weaver, a shark scientist, swims with them for a living! We asked him some questions about this unusual job.
So Daniel, what’s it like to be a shark scientist?

Well, sharks have up to 15 rows of sharp teeth. However, sharks hardly attack (攻擊) humans. There are over 350 kinds of sharks in the world and only about 10 are dangerous to us. In fact, dogs kill more people every year than sharks! Humans kill over 12 million sharks a year for food and sport!

Bill first started to play on computers at the age of 13. At that time, a computer was a very large machine. Once he was interested in a very old computer. He and some of his friends spent as much time as possible on computers. In the end, they worked out a software program. Bill sold it for 4,200 dollars when he was only 17.
In 1973, Bill went to Harvard University. In 1975, Bill and his partners developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created, but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it. BASIC was a success. Then Bill left Harvard to work for Microsoft, a company he started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. They thought the computer would come into every office and every home soon. So they began developing software for personal computers. They improved the software to make it easier for people to use computers. After many years of hard work, Microsoft becomes one of the most successful companies. And Bill Gates also becomes one of the richest businessmen in the world.
