综合检测(四)
1．A a terrible earthquake“一场可怕的地震”；the number of后接可数名词复数表示“……的数量”，符合题意。
2．C 句意：在事故中受伤的那个女人应当给予急救。damage破坏；destroy毁坏；injure在事故中受伤；ruin毁灭。
3．A 句意：在运动会中最有吸引力的项目是体操比赛。event事件，体育项目；accident事故；incident严重事件；matter物质，麻烦。
4．C 句意：使得每个人都震惊的是听到这个漂亮女孩对她老师说出那样粗鲁的话。quake晃动；frighten使惊吓，吓唬；impress给……留下深刻印象。
5．B judging by/from为悬垂分词，它的形式不受句子主语的影响。其他常用的悬垂分词还有generally speaking，considering等。
6．A 句意：如果你继续这样做下去会毁掉你的光明前程。名誉、前程作宾语时，应用ruin，表示名誉受损，毁坏前途。在表示“希望破坏”时应用destroy；damage后不接抽象名词。
7．C 句意：坚持一会，我们马上去营救你。go to one's rescue“营救某人”，为固定搭配。
8．B 句意：正如他父母所期望的，他被一家大公司接受成为其中一员。as引导非限制性定语从句，可置于句首，意为“正如”。
9．C 句意：他非常喜欢书，所以总是埋头读书。bury掩埋，埋葬，符合题意。ignore不理睬，忽视；settle定居 ，停留；pack捆扎，包。
10．B 根据对话提供的情景，上句是表达感谢，下句应该是“不客气/不用谢”，答案为B。Don't mention it别客气，不用谢。
11．B 根据句中打气太多，可知是由于内部压力导致轮胎爆了，故答案为B。句意：他给自行车轮胎打气太多，结果轮胎爆了，今天早上他只好步行去上学。spread扩大；burst爆裂；damage损失，损害；break破碎。
12．A his body与tremble构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词。
13．A 句意：这个国家三分之一的领土被树木覆盖且多数公民为黑人。one-third of the country“国家三分之一的领土”在概念上是单数，故系动词用单数；而the majority of the citizens“国家公民的大多数”是复数，故系动词用复数。
14．A 句意：你那个学习不努力的朋友要求你考试时让他看你的试卷帮他作弊。who引导定语从句，修饰your friend。从句中缺少主语，且指人用who引导。
15．C 由spend time in doing sth.可知，D项不正确。由句意可知第二题空处应为trapped，即为“被困在废墟中的九个家庭成员”。过去分词作后置定语，故排除A、B两项。
16．B 这里要注意mother这个身份，父母是允许自己的孩子不上学的假日里多睡觉的，sleep in睡个懒觉。
17．C 前面是谈自己会好好利用一下母亲的许可：睡个懒觉，后面又是在谈自己想早起，中间是明显的转折。
18．A 此题从下文的提示“several people go by，get into their car and drive off”可以得知：是停车的地方。
19．D 此题是主题设空，从后面的作者体会可以看出是对自己的生活有用的一些东西。区别比较各选项，本题难度不大。
20．A 前面的动词“watched”是提示，这里表示“注意到”。
21．C 这里考查了hang的用法，在表状态时，是不及物动词。指水桶挂在前车把上。
22．C 从后面的清洗车辆可以看出，是在一辆辆车之间移动。
23．D 此题要注意前后的提示：“already”和“a dozen or more cars”，所以这里表示老人工作时间早，已经清洗了很多车子了。
24．A 这里是一个固定的表示方式：(thoughts，etc.)cross one's mind/ come into one's mind(指想法等)出现，掠过，其他选项明显错误。
25．C 这里是考查对老人形象的判断，前面谈到he wasn't well-dressed，从后面的自行车描述可以看出，老人是一个朴素之人。
26．D 从后面的riding on可以得知是骑自行车的人。
27．B but是表示转折，前面提到他的穿着和所骑的车子都不时尚，后面又提到和他自己时而不时的和路人闲聊可以看出他自己是对这一切都是满意的，老人的精神世界很丰富，be satisfied with对……满意。
28．A 这里要注意连词and所表示的平行关系，后面动词是停下来闲聊，那么前面的动词不能仅表示look，因为他当时是在洗车，不可能洗车而视线在别的地方，这里应该是表示有时候他朝路人招手示意，有时还会闲聊。
29．C 这里考查动词短语与介词的搭配，have a free talk with sb.与某人闲聊。
30．D 从后面的解释语句：洗完后总要站在一旁看看，可以看出老人对所做之事是自豪的，这样才会去欣赏自己的事。
31．A 后面的scrubbing是一个提示，这里和28空的两个并列句都是相同句式结构，这样的考查也是完型填空的一个固定设题。
32．C 对应上一个分句中的then，这里是表示重复一个相同的动作。
33．A 这里是作者在发表感叹：这是要学习的一课。
34．B beg for a living乞讨为生，这里是指老人虽然清贫，但是自己能自食其力，身体健康而且乐于工作，所以没有必要去乞讨。
35．D 对比老人的勤劳，自己这时感到我跟老人相比觉得自己的生活不够积极，有点羞愧。
36．A 句意理解题。由上文Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends可知，我想让她多交朋友，不那么害羞。
37．D 细节理解题。由倒数第三段But three days later，Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more.可知选D项。
38．A 推理判断题。由各段意思推断，这句话适合放在第二段后。
39．A 推理判断题。由倒数两段Laura的表现，可知她很外向。
40．C 细节理解题。由Go to a Youtheater.部分最后一句话可知选C项。
41．B 句意理解题。由These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike.They'll keep your child active both in mind and body the whole day through while pushing buttons(按钮)，experimenting，and building.可知选B项。
42．D 细节理解题。由Many offer workshops for making hand-made pieces，traveling exhibits，book signings(签名)by children's favorite writers，and even musical shows，plays and some other arts.可知选D项。
43．C 推理判断题。本文介绍了几家博物馆，故选C项。
44．D 推理判断题。本文是一篇有关世界海啸灾难的应用文。从文章所介绍的知识和语气可以判断，这篇文章是写给普通读者看的。
45．B 细节理解题。根据表格可知有关日本的海啸共有5次。
46．D 细节理解题。根据死亡人数可知第二大海啸发生在1782年的中国南海。
47．D 细节理解题。根据题目中大写“Big Brothers Big Sisters”及“aim”，定位至文章第一段。找到“It is a program which provides friendship and fun by matching...”可得答案D。
48．B 细节理解题。注意题干中所提的at least，定位时需要注意题干中“volunteer”到文中“A Big sister and Little sister”的转换，定位之后，理解“between one and four hours together three or four times each month for at least twelve months.”可知至少为12个月，每月3次，每次1小时，得出答案B。
49．C 细节理解题。根据题干中的“Sarah”回文，倒数第二段最后一句“I thought it would be fun for me to take part in making time to do something because sometimes it is all work and no play.”直接推出答案C。
50．C 主旨大意题。此题表面看上去是词义猜测题，但实际是对于原文中“vulnerable young people”的概括。通过参加此类活动的Emily及Sarah可知，他们都是在生活中存在某些问题的年轻人，故可排除A，D。而B项中提到的身体上的问题，在文中并未体现。故正确答案为C。
51～55 C B F E G
第一句：go前加to；day→days 第二句：terrible→terribly；you→I 第三句：well后加with 第四句：for→to 第五句：prepare→preparing；but→and 第六句：去掉the 第七句：regard→regards

Ⅳ.阅读理解
When an earthquake hit a small town，many houses fell down.After the earthquake，all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday，when I was reading a newspaper，a special picture touched me.It gave the clothing sizes of each family member.I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said to my seven-year-old twins，Brad and Brett，and three-year-old Meghan，“We have so much，but these poor people now have nothing.We'll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this，I encouraged the children to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much-loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh，dear，” I said，“you don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.” Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.”
I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn't it?

Tornadoes(龙卷风) are nature's most violent storms，which can cause deaths and destroy a neighborhood in seconds.A tornado appears as a rotating，funnel(漏斗)-shaped cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour.Damage paths can be over one mile wide and 50 miles long.Every state is at some risk from this disaster.
Some tornadoes can be seen clearly，while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others.At many times，tornadoes develop so rapidly that little，if any，advance warning is possible.
Before a tornado hits，the air may become very still.A cloud of debris(散片)can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel can not be seen.Tornadoes generally occur near the edge of a thunderstorm，when the strong wind may die down.It is not uncommon to see clear，sunlit skies behind a tornado.
The following are facts about tornadoes：
☆The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 MPH，but may also vary from still to 70 MPH.Debris are picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.
☆The average tornado moves southwest to northeast，but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction.Tornadoes are most often reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.
☆Tornadoes can happen together with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land.Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water.
☆Peak tornado season in the southern states of America is March through May; in the northern states，it is late spring through early summer.Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 p．m. and 9 p．m.，but can occur at any time.
6．From the passage，we can learn that tornadoes come from________.
A．hurricanes B．great heat
C．thunderstorms D．sandstorms

C．produce D．raise

A．it can only be seen in the late of the day
B．it only moves from southwest to northeast
C．it may form over sea water
D．it often reaches the speed of 70 MPH
10．The passage makes us believe that________.
A．warnings about tornadoes are well developed in many countries
B．of all the natural disasters，tornadoes often cause the smallest damage
C．tornadoes are mostly seen in the southern states of America
D．tornadoes may strike so quickly that there is often little or no warning
