二、阅读理解
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Police formed a rescue team to look for the young boy in the nearby woods”以及倒数第二段第一句“Hundreds of people helped in the search efforts,including some 600 volunteers,and members of the military.”可知volunteers,policemen,soldiers 都参与了营救。而由倒数第二段中第三句“Doctors at Carolina East Medical Centre treated Casey for minor injuries.”可知医生是在小男孩被救出后为他做了治疗。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“When the other children returned to the house and Casey did not,the family searched the area for almost an hour before calling the police”可知小男孩不是被人捉走。所以A错误。根据第四段第二句“He said Casey did not say how he was able to survive in the woods for two days in the cold,rainy weather.”可知B错误。根据倒数第二段最后一句“He was then released to his family on January 25.”可知C错误。根据第一段最后一句“He said he was with a friend—a bear.”可知D正确。
3.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“We just want to tell everybody that we're very thankful that you took the time out to come search for Casey”可知A正确。
4.C 文章出处题。由文中出现的reporter的字眼结合文章的内容和特点,可大胆推测本文是一篇报道。故选C。
三、阅读理解
1.E 根据段首句Depend on your hobby.可知,本段说明要根据自己的喜好找书;根据空前句“如果你有一个最喜欢的爱好,那么去找一些关于那个活动的书”可知,E项(你能够找到几乎任何你喜欢的书。)符合文意。E项中的find对应前句中的look for。
2.D 根据下文Those are called fiction books.可知,本空应点明Those指的是什么样的书,故D项(一些书完全是编造和想象出来的。)符合文意。D项中Some books对应下句中Those。
3.A 本空为段首句。根据下文“告诉图书管理员你的兴趣,然后图书管理员会帮你找到你一定会喜欢的其他书籍”可知,本段主要说明要请别人帮忙找书,故A项(向某人寻求帮助。)可以作为本段段首句。
4.F 根据本段段首句Find a family favorite.(找到家人的最爱。)及空前句“然后你可以谈谈他们喜欢这本书的什么地方,并分享你的想法。”可知,F项(这是一个更好地了解家人的有趣方法。)符合文意。F选项中的family为复现词。
5.G 根据段首句Launch a book exchange.(发动一场书籍交换。)可知,G项(为什么不召集一些朋友交换最爱的书籍呢?)符合文意。G项中exchange favorite books和段首句a book exchange同义。
四、书面表达
An important choice I have made
Life is full of choices, and to live is to choose. It was not until last year when I was asked to decide on arts or science that I came to realize the importance of making choices. My caring parents suggested I go in for science for a promising future career. Having assessed my strengths and weaknesses, I myself, however, was determined to take up arts instead of science. For the first time ever, I have followed my heart and enjoyed everything all along. I pride myself on making the choice on my own, which actually brings me a sense of fulfillment and dignity. Definitely, it’s also a milestone moment for me to think for myself and learn to be responsible for my own future.
