(它带走了高山，它为社会的一切进步和发展铺平了道路。)”可知，笔消除了阻碍社会进步的东西，为社会进步和发展铺平道路，这里的“mountains”指的是阻碍社会发展的事物，即“stop the social development”。故选C。 38．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The lawyers took up their pens and wrote the law of the country from the days when papyrus (纸莎草纸) was first used. (从第一次使用纸莎草纸开始，律师们就拿起笔书写国家的法律。)”可知，律师们开始写国家的法律是在纸莎草纸首次使用的时候。故选B。 39．词句猜测题。根据第五段中“We cannot sign a bill or write a letter or buy a house without our pen. (没有笔，我们不能签署账单、写信或买房子。)”可知，没有笔我们无法签署法案、写信或买房，所以笔是有用的，utilitarian意为“有用的”。故选D。 40．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“The pen is a magic tool. Whenever you use it, enjoy it. (钢笔是一种神奇的工具。无论何时使用它，都要享受它。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了笔的重要性，所以最好的标题是“A Powerful Tool (一个强大的工具)”。故选A。 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
