Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day－dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father's words came to him.“When you are in a tight situation，don't panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don't like smoke.” he thought. “They couldn't get into the house.”Andy raced towards the Nelson's house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly，out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You'll really need that fishing break to help you recover.” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn't panic！” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
1．Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?
A．He was riding to school.
B．He was listening to a strange sound.
C．He was going fishing with his father.
D．He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip.
2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage?
A．They crowded like a black cloud.
B．They shocked and terrified Andy.
C．They tried to attack Andy in a mass.
D．They made Andy stay in hospital for two days.
3．How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?
A．He asked Mr Nelson for help.
B．He made himself under the water.
C．He rushed into the Nelson house.
D．He rode off in the opposite direction.
4．Which of the following can best describe Andy's escape from the bees?
A．No pains，no gains.
B．Once bitten, twice shy.
C．Where there is a will，there is a way.
D．In time of danger，one's mind works fast.
答案与解析
1．D　细节理解题。从第一段最后一句“He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.”可知，Andy正忙于做抓鱼的白日梦，没有意识到他周围的事情。与D项他的思绪沉浸于钓鱼之旅相符。
2．D　细节理解题。由第二段的最后一句“A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.”(一大群蜜蜂像乌云一样布满天空而嗡嗡作响的蜂群似乎正怒气冲冲向他飞来。)可知，A项蜂群像乌云一样，C项蜜蜂设法成群攻击Andy，均有提到；根据第二段倒数第二句“What he saw shocked and terrified him.”可知，Andy看到的景象吓坏了他，故B选项也有提到。由第三段第五句和第六句可知，Andy上次被蜜蜂蛰过一次后进了医院住了两天，故选D。
3．B　细节理解题。由第五段中“Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects.After holding his breath for as long as he could，Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone.”可知，Andy下了车潜入了水中，躲开了蜂群，在屏息了尽可能长的时间后，Andy出来时发现蜜蜂已经飞走了，故选择B选项。
4．D　推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Thank goodness you didn't panic！”可知，情急之下Andy仍然成功想到办法脱险，故选D。
B
