三、阅读理解和七选五(每小题2.5分,共40分)
A
Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford,Illinois,where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower. But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
His last hike was up Mount Annapurna,in Asia's snow﹣capped Himalayas.At 26,545 feet,its peak is the 10th highest in the world.It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing. "It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous, "said Viesturs. "There's no simple way to climb it. There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain."
In high school,Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy Annapurna. Herzog's story was of frostbite(冻伤) and difficulty and near﹣death experiences. Viesturs was hooked right away.
Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer.Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks.Finally,he's done.
The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect."You have to use all of your senses,all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it, "said Viesturs. "If we have the patience and the respect,and if we're here at the right time,under the right circumstances,they allow us to go up,and allow us to come down."
What's next for a man who can't stop climbing "I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer, "says Viesturs. But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains,he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure.
31.What record has Ed Viesturs set
A.He has succeeded in climbing to the world's 14th highest mountain.
B.He has been to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains.
C.He has become the first to climb to the height of 26,545 feet.
D.He has become the first man to climb to the top of 14 highest mountains in the world.
32.The underlined word "hooked" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by"_________".
A.frightened B.discouraged C.interested D.upset
33.The author used Viesturs’ words in Paragraph 5 to support a view that________.
A.mountain climbing is a dangerous sport
B.mountains should be regarded as living creatures
C.mountain climbing needs more skills than physical energy
D.those who like mountain climbing won't stop climbing
B
One early morning, I went into the living room to find my mother reading a thick book called Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again. My interest was aroused only by the fact that the word “ Poems” appeared in big, hot pink letters.
“ Is it good ” I asked her.
“ Yeah,” she answered. “ There’s one I really like and you’ll like it, too.” I leaned forward.
“ Patty Poem,” she read the title. Who is Patty I wondered. The poem began:
She never puts her toys away,
Just leaves them scattered(散落的) where they lay,…
The poem was just three short sections. The final one came quickly:
When she grows and gathers poise(成熟),
I’ll miss her harum-scarum noise,
And look in vain for scattered toys.
And I’ll be sad.
A terrible sorrow washed over me. Whoever Patty was, she was a mean girl. Then, the shock.
“ It’s you, honey,” My mother said sadly.
To my mother, the poem revealed a parent’s affection when her child grows up and leaves. To me, the “she” in the poem was horror. It was my mama who would be sad. It was so terrible I burst out crying.
“ What’s wrong ” my mother asked.
“ Oh Mama,” I cried. “ I don’t want to grow up ever!”
She smiled. “Honey, it’s okay. You’re not growing up anytime soon. And when you do, I’ll still love you, okay ”
“ Okay,” I was still weeping. My panic has gone. But I could not help thinking about that silly poem. After what seemed like a safe amount of time, I read the poem again and was confused. It all fit so well together, like a puzzle. The language was simple, so simple I could plainly understand its meaning, yet it was still beautiful. I was now fascinated by the idea of poetry, words that had the power to make or break a person’s world.
I have since fallen in love with other poems, but “ Patty Poem” remains my poem. After all, “ Patty Poem” gave me my love for poetry not because it was the poem that lifted my spirits, but because it was the one that hurt me the most.
34. Why was the writer attracted by the book Best Loved Poems to Read Again and Again
A. It was a thick enough book.
B. Something on its cover caught her eye.
C. Her mother was reading it with interest.
D. It has a meaningful title.
35. After her mother read the poem to her, the writer felt ___________ at first.
A. sad B. excited C. horrified D. confused
36. The writer’s mother liked to read "Patty Poem" probably because ___________.
A. it reflected her own childhood
B. it was written in simple language
C. it was composed by a famous poet
D. it gave her a hint of what would happen
37. It can be concluded from the passage that"Patty Poem"leads the writer to ___________.
A. discover the power of poetry
B. recognize her love for puzzles
C. find her eagerness to grow up
D. experience great homesickness
C
Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of more than 48,900 poem that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn’t cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.
During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.
Tang Dynasty poets wrote poems to win fame and also to develop their temperament(性情). They poured out deep feelings for their friends and criticized in injustice in the world through poems.
In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems, women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.
Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It’s a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited(继承)Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.
38. We can conclude from the passage that_____________.
A. only people in the Tang Dynasty created poems
B. in total there were four famous poets in the Tang Dynasty
C. the Tang Dynasty probably existed for about three centuries
D. in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets
39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Why the poets created poems.
B. Some other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty.
C. The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.
D. The editors of Poems of the Tang Dynasty.
40. The underlined word"adjacent"in Paragraph 4 probably means_______________.
A. strong B. neighboring C. poor D. rich
41. What does the author really want to tell us in Paragraph 4
A. Tang Dynasty poems were quite popular.
B. In the Tang Dynasty all scholars were poets.
C. Many foreigners came to our country during the Tang Dynasty.
D. In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.
