二、阅读理解
I saved the grain carefully and finally had enough to plant. I built a wall around my garden to keep the wild goats away.
Then when my crop bore its fruit, the birds discovered it. The birds were not afraid of my dog at all. I shot them but as soon as I walked away, they returned. At last, I killed some birds and hung them among the crop, hoping they would serve as the scarecrows (稻草人), which turned out to be successful. By harvest time, I had nearly two bushels of rice and two and a half bushels of wheat.
With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. It took me nearly two months to form and dry two ugly pots — one for rice and one for wheat.
Next I formed a clay oven and made some other tools from hard wood and cloth to bake bread. I made and baked bread in my oven. I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking.
Soon after that, I began to think of my days sailing in a tidy boat with Xury. I wished to have a boat and explore the island by sea.
I tried to turn over the ship's boat that I had seen washed up, but failed. I was still determined to have a boat. So I chose a strong tree and spent weeks cutting it down. Then it took me months to turn it from tree to boat.
When it was time to launch my boat, I realized I had made it too far from the nearest stream. The boat was far too heavy for me to move. I tried bringing the water to the boat instead of the boat to the water. I soon saw it would take me twenty years of constant labor.
I celebrated my fourth year on the island with two boats, but I was no closer to a sea journey.

答案以及解析
一、单选
1.答案：B
解析：句意: 凯瑟琳有两个表兄弟。一个是安静的, 另一个是吵闹的。根据前面的one可知此处用the other(另一个)。
2.答案：B
解析：句意为:水变得又黑又脏。再饮用它不安全了。根据语境可知前一句的动作对现在造成了影响,故应用现在完成时。故选B项。
3.答案：B
解析：句意：我的第一位老师琼斯夫人对我的人生有重要的影响，我会永远记住她。考查副词辨析。never从不；forever永远；hardly几乎不；recently最近。根据“made a big difference to my life”可知，她对我的人生有影响，我会永远记住她。故选B。
4.答案：C
解析：句意:这是一个有趣的城市。在这里你既可以看到古老的建筑又可以看到现代的建筑。考查形容词词义辨析。old“古老的”;tidy“整洁的”;modern“现代的”;high“高的”。根据“It's an interesting city.”可知,空处和前面的“ancient”形成对比,应用“现代的”。故选C。
5.答案：A
解析：句意:—那个人是张先生吗 —不可能是他。他昨天去北京开会了。考查情态动词辨析。can't不可能;mustn't禁止;needn't不必。根据“He went to Beijing for a meeting yesterday”可知,去开会了,所以不可能是他,表否定推测用can't,故选A。
6.答案：B
7.答案：C
解析：句意为: 每年, 成百上千万的图书被捐给贫困地区的孩子, million前有基数词时, 其后不加-s; million与of连用时, 其后要加-s, millions of为固定短语, 意为成百上千万的; 无数的。故选C项。
8.答案：D
解析：考查动词时态。句意: —看!有人把灯关了。—嗯, 不是我, 我没关。关灯的动作在过去已经发生, 且turn off表示短暂性动作, 不可以使用进行时。故选D。
9.答案：C
解析：句意为:- 你什么时候把那本小说归还给我 —对不起,我还没有读完。周五怎么样 根据语境可知此处表示说话者还没有读完那本小说,空处时态应用现在完成时。故选C项。
二、阅读理解
答案：1-4 CCDC
解析：1.主旨大意题。通读第二段内容可知第二段主要介绍主人公 如何保护庄稼不被鸟破坏的。故选C项。
2.词义猜测题。根据第三段中"With my new grain to store, I found a new problem. The fine grain ran through my baskets. (有了我要储存的新粮食,我发现了一个新问题。好粮食从我的篮子里流了出来。)"可知这个新问题是没有合适的器皿储存粮食。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。上一段中提到船离水太远了,并且船太沉了, 主人公试着把水运到船所在的地方而不是把船推向水中,但这要花二十年的时间才能完成,故推知此处指主人公还是无法乘船探索这个岛屿。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据文中提到的主人公种粮食、烘焙、造船等,可推知C项正确。根据第六段中"I tried to turn over the ship's boat that 1 had seen washed up, but failed."可知A项错误; 根据倒数第二段内容可知B项错误;根据第四段中的"I spent the third year on the island in farming and baking."可知D项是直接能从原文中得到的信息,不是推断出的结论, D项不符合题意。故选C项。
