The house was quiet at 5 am and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only the sound of the big freezer broke the quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last night. The purring(轻微颤动声)of the freezer had been the sea. Tim pulled on a sweater and put some apples into his schoolbag. It was too early for breakfast. He’d eat after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the rocks and staring at the sea. He wished he had a proper pack. His schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches—but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches. She’d want to know why he had to leave so early. He settled for some biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table: Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim. The sky was high and soft and light outside, though the sun still wasn’t up. Even the highway up the hill was quiet as he made his way down the street. The wind from the sea was fresh and sweet. The sand hills still breathed heat from yesterday’s sun, though the top of the sand was cool. He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the early wind and seabirds marching up and down watching the waves. The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world. Over the first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back. The beach was still empty. The sun sailed higher in the sky. He could see the cave now, even darker in the morning light. The sand turned silver then dark gold as the water flowed away from it. He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble. He needn’t go in all the way... 小题1:What did Tim do at the beginning of the story?A.He left the house quietly. | B.He had breakfast at home. | C.He left a note on the freezer. | D.He put a sweater in his schoolbag. | 小题2:“He settled for some biscuits” means that Tim_______.A.had to leave the biscuits on the table | B.liked biscuits better than sandwiches | C.had to take biscuits instead of sandwiches | D.could only find some biscuits in the kitchen | 小题3:What made it possible for Tim to see the entry to the cave?A.The height of the first rocks. | B.The ups and downs of the waves. | C.The change in the position of the sun. | D.The vast stretch of the sunlit beach. | 小题4:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the story?A.The sea looked like a piece of gold. | B.Seabirds flew away when Tim arrived. | C.Tim was the only person on the beach. | D.The sky got dark as Tim reached the cave. | 小题5:In the story, Tim’s mood changed from_______.A.loneliness to craziness | B.anxiousness to excitement | C.helplessness to happiness | D.eagerness to nervousness |
|
小题1:A 小题2:C 小题3:C 小题4:C 小题5:D |
试题分析:文章描写Tim夜里偷偷离开家,到海边山洞探险的故事,描写细致,有景色的描写和人物的心理活动。 小题1:细节题:从第三段的句子:Gone to Michael’s. Back tonight, Tim.可知在文章的开头,Tim离开了家。选A。 小题2:句意理解题:在本题中,在句子He settled for some biscuits的上文中说but his mother might wake up if he started pulling out bread for sandwiches, she" d want to know why he had to leave so early.(如果他拿面包当三明治吃,他的妈妈就会醒来问他为什么这么早就离家。)所以,为了不惊醒他妈妈,他settled for some biscuits(只好拿一些饼干了),所以,正确的答案只能是C. had to take biscuits instead of sandwiches 。选C 小题3:细节题:从倒数第三段的句子:The light changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight stretched (延伸) across the sea. The sun was pushing its way over the edge of the world. 可知因为太阳光线的变化,Tim看见了山洞。选C 小题4:细节题:从第五段的句子:He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one, 可知海滩上只有Tim一个人。选C 小题5:推理题:从第五段的句子:He ran down to the beach impatiently, but there was no one 可知Tim一开始很渴望,从最后一段的句子:Why was it so much more mysterious now? But it would be silly to go back now after so much trouble.可知他后来有点紧张。选D 点评:读记叙文的关键是抓情节。 抓住了故事情节,就理解了文章的脉络,其他的就迎刃而解了。记叙文的叙事顺序有顺叙和倒叙两种,有时候作者为了吸引读者会采用倒叙的方法,即不按照事情发展的先后顺序来叙述,而是从最重要、最能引人入胜的事件开始,然后再回过头来追叙故事的开端和经过。阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后位置。 |

One day, feeling very sad and lonely, she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small butterfly(蝴蝶) caught in a thorn(荆棘)bush. The young girl carefully released the butterfly. Instead of flying away, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy(仙女).

You are near the front line of a battle. Around you shells (炮弹)are exploding; people are shooting from a house behind you. What are you doing there? You aren’t a soldier.

Jeremy Bowen says, “Yes, when you’re lying on the ground and bullets(子弹)are flying 48 your ears, you think: ‘What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again.’ But that feeling 49 after a while and when the next war starts, you’ll be 50 .” “None of us believes that we’re going to 51 ” adds Michael. But he always 52 a lucky charm(护身符)with him. It was given to him by his wife for his first war. It’s a card which says “Take care of yourself.” Does he ever think about dying? “Oh, 53 , and every time it happens you look to the sky and say to God, ‘If you get me out of this, I 54 I’ll never do it again.’ You can almost hear God 55 , because you know he doesn’t believe you .”

完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分) My husband and I insisted that our children were old enough to clean their rooms and make their beds. But they thought 41 . My complaints, even self-justified shouting, were always landing on 42_ ears. Very often a whole hour’s scolding would end with their 43 into tears, I felt very frustrated (沮丧的).I realized I needed to 44 my method of “mothering”. One day when they were at school, I spent some time 45 their rooms. On their desks, in plain __46 , I left the cards: “Dear Bill (the other card was 47 to Sarah), your room was messy this morning and I’m sure you like it clean. Love, the Room Fairy.” 48 arriving back, the children were __49 excited to receive the little note from the Room Fairy. The next day, their rooms were fairly tidy. Sure enough, there was another note from the Room Fairy ___50 for them, thanking them for their nice “gift” of a clean room and 51 asking them to play a certain violin 52 . Each day, thank--you notes would be written differently to keep the ideas 53 . Sometimes the Room Fairy would propose a little 54 : “If you can finish your homework and __55 your lessons before dinner, I’ d like to watch a particular television program with you tonight.” Sometimes some colored markers or other little items would be left in 56 of well done jobs the day ___57 . 58 I can’t remember how long “the Room Fairy” continued leaving her love notes. When they were age appropriate, we used various versions of Post-Its(贴条). The bathroom mirror became the 59 centre of our home. Appointments, notices about visiting relatives, lesson schedules, and changes in plans could be posted. We all benefited from and 60 the idea of sharing reminders and daily details of life through notes. I believe the true advantage of the Room Fairy notes survives in our frequent and enjoyable communication.

完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分。满分20分) This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a 26 effect on me. I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 27 but whose actions gave a new 28 to the words—kind and generous. I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early 29 .

A BMW car 31 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car. He was probably about 32 years old. He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie. He walked 33 across the street and over to the homeless man.
