中考真题2024年山东省济宁市阅读理解A篇-达雷尔支招：缤趣上的创意火花
Darrell: Marina... Marina... MARINA!
Marina: Oh, sorry. I didn’t hear you. I was thinking about my homework.
Darrell: What’s it about?
Marina: Well, I need to draw a future house for my art class, but I haven’t got any ideas. Maybe I should go to the library and look for something useful.
Darrell: Or you can try Pinterest.
Marina: Isn’t it a shopping app?
Darrell: Not really. Many people share their works on Pinterest and tell you how they made them. I’m sure you can get some ideas there.
Marina: Sounds like you use it often.
Darrell: Yeah. Just last week I went there and found the A to Z of making chocolate cake— from choosing good chocolate to baking the cake to making sugar flowers on top.
Marina: Really? I’ll check it out later. Thanks a lot.

解析：选A。细节理解题A。这可以从对话中的“Well, I need to draw a future house for my art class, but I haven’t got any ideas.” Marina的作业是为艺术课画一座未来的房子，但她还没有任何想法。这句话得出答案，选择A项。
2.2. Why did Darrell tell Marina to go to Pinterest?
A To get a shopping app.

D To share her works with people.
解析：选C。推理判断C。在对话中，Darrell说：“Many people share their works on Pinterest and tell you how they made them. I’m sure you can get some ideas there.”Darrell告诉Marina去缤趣，是因为他认为在那里可以找到一些有用的例子，从而帮助Marina完成作业。 这表明他认为缤趣上有很多可以借鉴的作品和制作方法，因此建议Marina去那里找灵感。因此，正确答案是C。
3.3. What does the underlined part “A to Z” mean?
A All letters.
B Chocolate cakes.
C Sugar flowers on top.
D Everything about something.
解析：选D。词义猜测题D。在对话中，Darrell提到他在Pinterest上找到了制作巧克力蛋糕的“A to Z”，这意味着他找到了关于制作巧克力蛋糕的所有细节，包括从选择好的巧克力到烤蛋糕再到制作上面的糖花。因此，“A to Z”指的是关于某件事情的所有方面，即“everything about something”。
