细节理解题。

由文章第一段最后一句“About every two weeks he created something new.”可知，他每两周就有一项新的发明，故答案为A项。

【29题详解】
词句猜测题。

由上文的句子“Unluckily, his first work experience did not end well.(不幸的是，他第一次工作的结果并不好。

)”以及“Then Edison worked for five years as a telegraph operator(然后爱迪生做了五年的电报操作员)”可推测出，爱迪生做第一次工作时，很不幸他被解雇了，故该词义为“解雇”，与D项“迫使某人离开工作”意思相近。

故答案为D项。

【30题详解】
细节理解题。

由倒数第二段的句子“Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but he thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways.( 托马斯·爱迪生一只耳朵完全聋了，另一只耳朵听力很差，但他认为他的耳聋在许多方面是一种福气)”可知，爱迪生把自己的耳聋看作是礼物。

主旨大意题。

第一段讲述爱迪生的发明创造，第二段讲述爱迪生接受的教育，第三段讲述爱迪生曾经做过的工作，第四段讲述爱迪生患了耳聋，最后一段讲述了爱迪生的贡献。

Emily and Alex were happy when their family moved to a house with a very big garden. They could climb up trees, grow flowers and even play badminton. They liked to watch the birds flying among the trees in the garden. They even started to put food out to attract more birds.
Everything was fine for a few days until one afternoon there was a strange bumping noise on a window. Emily went outside and found a small bird dead on the grass. Its neck seemed to be broken.
“It must have flown into the window,” Alex said when his sister Emily called him to have a look. “Ah, yes, look here.You can see the mark where it hit the window. There are a couple of tiny feathers stuck (粘贴)on the window.”
“Poor thing!” Emily said.
During the next month, five more birds died in the same way. “Why would they fly to the windows?” they wondered.Finally they found out the truth. When the birds were flying, they couldn’t see into the rooms. All they saw was the reflection (反射)of the garden. They thought that they were flying into trees because they saw trees reflected by the window.
“Something has to be done to save the birds,” the parents decided.
At first, the family tried keeping curtains(窗帘)across the windows, but this made the room dark. Then they bought some strong black paper and cut out the shape of a hawk(鹰). They made six hawks—one for each window. They stuck the hawks to the windows. They looked pretty and did not keep out much light.When the birds saw the hawks, they would fly away.
After that, there were no more dead birds. The family were much happier.
32. They put food out to attract birds because they _________.
A. had a special garden for birds
B. wanted to see more birds flying in the garden
C. had too much bird food to feed the birds
D. wanted to catch some birds in the garden

A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
34. The birds flew to the windows because they ________.
A. found the windows very clean
B. fought for more food
C. thought there were more trees ahead
D. wanted to go into the room
35. The story is mainly about _________.
A. why the birds died in the garden

C. the family had a very big new house
D. how the family saved the birds in the garden
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D
【解析】
