五年高考练
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一名越野赛跑运动员在比赛中将受伤的运动员背至终点然后就医的故事。
1.D 根据首句中的“hundreds of runners competed in a cross-country race”以及下文中“Bailey then 7 to let Lenoue climb onto her back and carried her all the way to the finish line”可知,此处表示Melanie Bailey本可以早一点完成(finished)比赛。
2.A 结合第1题解析可知,Melanie Bailey因为背Lenoue完成比赛导致她延误到达终点的时间。delay意为“延误的时间”。chance 机会;trouble 困难;excuse 借口。
3.D 根据下文中的“help her fellow runner, Danielle Lenoue”可知,Lenoue也是比赛选手(competitor)。judge 裁判;volunteer 志愿者。
4.A 根据“a cross-country race”“the course”“the finish line”以及“her fellow runner”等可知,Melanie Bailey和Danielle Lenoue都在参加比赛。所以,此处表示Melanie Bailey在比赛(race)进行到超过三分之二的时候遇到了因疼痛而哭泣的Danielle Lenoue。
5.C Danielle Lenoue在Melanie Bailey前面因疼痛而哭泣,所以,Melanie Bailey停下来(stopped)帮助Danielle Lenoue。agree 同意; return 返回; promise 承诺。
6.B Bailey扶着Lenoue,想看她是否能在有帮助(aid)的情况下往前走。courage 勇气;patience 耐心;advice 建议。
7.D 此处表示Bailey弯下腰(bent down)让Lenoue爬上她的后背,然后背着她到终点。go away 走开; stand up 站起来; step aside 走到旁边。
8.A 根据设空处所在句子以及下文中的“make it to that aid checkpoint without Bailey s help”可知,Bailey背着Lenoue到达终点后,又背着她走了300英尺去治疗。medical attention意为“医疗救治”。public 公众的; constant 经常的; equal 平等的。
9.B 此处表示Lenoue的伤势得到评估(assessed),然后被送到医院。interrupt 打断; identify 确认; appreciate 欣赏。
10.B 根据上文中的“began crying in pain”可知,如果没有Bailey的帮助,Lenoue就得强忍剧痛 (pain)走到救援站。pain是原词复现。
11.C 根据下文Bailey所说的“I feel like I was just doing the right thing.”可知,Bailey认为自己只是做了应该做的事。但是人们却认为她的行为非常了不起,这让她有些困惑(confused)。worried 担心的; ashamed 羞愧的;discouraged灰心的。
12.D 参见第11题解析。a big deal意为“一件了不起的事情”。
13.A Lenoue因为疼痛难忍在那里哭泣,Bailey不忍丢下(leave)她。cure 治愈;bother 困扰;understand 理解。
14.C Melanie Bailey和Danielle Lenoue在这次体育比赛(meet)之前并不认识。ride (乘车)旅行; test 测验; show 表演。
15.B 虽然Melanie Bailey和Danielle Lenoue都未赢得比赛,但是Melanie Bailey的行为是人类善良的展现(display),它赢得了当天的胜利。secret 秘密; benefit 益处;exchange 互换。
