试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是一个著名的摄影师Denny Crook,他喜欢摄影,他甚至去很危险的地方拍摄照片,如地震、火灾、洪水、战争等。他的妻子总是想要和他一起出去拍摄,但他不同意,因为他觉得这很危险。有一次,Denny Crook要去非洲拍摄一些野生动物的照片,他带着他的妻子去了。但是却发生了很危险的事情,他的妻子被一头狮子追赶,他赶紧拿出相机拍摄,甚至还让他的妻子跑慢点,因为镜头容不下她和狮子。
小题1:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:我会随时去任何地方,即使是很危险的地方。根据下文的内容我们可以知道Denny Crook拍摄的照片有关于地震、火灾、洪水、战争等,所以这些地方都是很危险的,故选A。dangerous 危险的;natural 自然的;convenient 方便的;impossible 不可能的。
小题2:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:然后他告诉了我们真相。他有很多关于地震、森林火灾、洪水以及战争的照片。这里是对上一句话的一个解释,即为什么Denny Crook经常去危险的地方。lie 谎言;reason 原因;news 新闻,消息;truth真相,事实。根据句意可知选D。
小题3:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:他的妻子总是要求他带她一起去,但是他总是拒绝。根据句中的but 我们可知,这里表示转折的意思,故选B refuse,拒绝。agree 同意,与文章意思不符;fail 失败;answer回答。
小题4:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我是为了工作去旅行,不是为了娱乐。wealth 财富;prize 奖励,奖金;fun 娱乐;luck运气。这里是Denny Crook解释不带妻子去的原因,是因为外出旅行是他的工作,他并不是为了游乐而出去,所以不能带着妻子去。故选C。
小题5:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:你不会玩得高兴,我也没有时间照顾你。money 钱;time 时间;interest 兴趣;ability能力。这里是Denny Crook解释说,他出去旅行是要去工作,而他去的地方也很危险,所以即使妻子去了也不会玩得开心。并且Denny Crook也没有时间照顾她,因为他还要工作。这跟钱或能力没有关系。故选B。
小题6:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:有时候甚至没有地方可呆,我不得不睡在外面。meet 遇见;work 工作;shop 购物;stay 呆,停留。根据文意可知Denny Crook在外出拍摄时,有时候甚至要睡在外面,所以这里说的是没有地方呆,故选D。
小题7:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我经常吃不好饭,好几天不洗澡,你不会喜欢的。meal 饭;picnic 野餐;room 房间;party 聚会。这里是说Denny Crook在外出拍摄时条件是很艰苦的。have a good meal 吃一顿好饭。故选A。
小题8:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:他的妻子并不同意,说:我不是个小孩子了,我可以照顾好自己。根据句意可知妻子和他的观点并不一样,虽然Denny Crook有不带妻子去的理由,但是妻子并不这样认为。agree 同意;understand 理解,明白;answer 回答;complain抱怨。根据句意可知选A。
小题9:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:Denny Crook什么也没说,他仔细的考虑了这件事。当他被要求去非洲的时候,他对妻子说……worried 原形是worry,担心,焦虑;forgot 原形是forget 忘记;asked 原形是ask,要求;thought原形是think,思考,认为。这里是说Denny Crook觉得妻子的话有道理,所以他考虑了一下。think about 是一个固定词组,考虑,思考。故选D。
小题10:考查名词及语境的理解。句意:我要去那里拍摄一些野生动物的照片。land 土地,陆地;flower 花;animal 动物;people人们。根据下文……some lions to photo,我们可以知道Denny Crook去非洲要拍摄的是野生动物,故选C。
小题11:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意:他的妻子非常的兴奋。而开始的时候,他们的确玩得很开心。afraid 害怕的;excited 兴奋的;surprised 惊奇的;disappointed 失望的。这里是说Denny Crook同意带妻子去非洲了,所以他的妻子应该非常的兴奋,因为她早就想要和他一起出去旅行。故选B。
小题12:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:然后Denny去找一些狮子来拍照。find 发现,找到;feed 喂养;drive 开车;shoot射击。根据上文的内容我们知道Denny去非洲就是要拍摄一些野生动物,所以这里他要找到一些狮子来进行拍摄。故选A。
小题13:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:突然,Denny听到了妻子的哭喊。sing 唱歌;cry 哭喊;laugh 笑;cheer 欢呼。根据下文A huge lion was running after her.可知,他的妻子被一头狮子所追赶,故应该是害怕的哭喊,故选B。
小题14:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:Denny快速的拿出相机,并把它指向了妻子和那头狮子。threw 扔;fired 开火;showed 展示;pointed 指。空后有介词at,point at 把…指向…,这里Denny想赶紧把狮子拍下来,故是拿照相机对准狮子。故选D。
小题15:考查动词及语境的理解。句意:然后他大声喊道:女士,慢一点,照片里容不下你和狮子。hurry up 快点;look out 小心;slow down 慢一点;go ahead 向前走;请吧。根据文意Denny想把妻子和狮子都拍在一张照片里,但是镜头里容不下,故他想让妻子跑慢点,他好把这一幕拍下来。故选C。

Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat.

阅读下列短文,根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)
Minoru Yamasaki was a well-known American architect (建筑师). He was born in 1912 in Seattle, Washington. Minoru went to college to study architecture. Every summer he worked in a fish factory to help pay for college. He slept in a room with 100 other men.
Yamasaki sometimes dreamed about his work. Once he woke up at three o’clock in the morning. He remembered a building that was in his dream. He got up and started to draw.  
Yamasaki was different from other architects. His buildings give people a feeling of peace and happiness. Many of his designs have pools of water, flowers, and windows on the roof to let in light. He wanted to give them a place away from the busy ways of modern life.
Yamasaki worked for several companies. But his success began when he started his own company. In 1956, he won the Architect’s First Honor Award for his design of an airport in St. Louis, Missouri. He won two more awards over the next five years. In 1962, he designed the World Trade Center in New York. In 1993, a bomb exploded (炸弹爆炸) in it. But the buildings did not fall down because they had a good design.
Yamasaki had strong opinions about his buildings. They had to be built his way. He refused to change the design of his buildings, even if he lost a job.
Minoru Yamasaki died on Jun,2 1986. He designed more than 300 buildings. People will enjoy the design and beauty of his buildings for a very long time.
