阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从36~55各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。?
A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were plenty of animals to hunt.The only trouble was that the place was very difficult to get to.?
He returned from his first ? 36 ?to the place in late autumn,and could not get back until the snows melted(融化)in the following? 37 ?.Then he went to the pilot of a small plane,who earned his living by? 38 ?hunters over parts of the country ? 39 ?were no roads and no railways,and asked him to take him back to his ? 40 ? piece of forest.?
The pilot did not know the place,so the hunter ? 41 ? it to him on the map.“? 42 ?there is nowhere to land there,man!” said the pilot.“I have flown ? 43 that part of the country on my way to other places,and I know that we can’t land anywhere between this river and these mountains.” ?
“I thought you were a ? 44 ? pilot,” said the hunter.“Some of my friends said you could land a plane on a stamp.” ?
“That’s ? 45 ?,”answered the pilot.“I can land a plane where nobody else can.But I ? 46 ? you there is nowhere to land in the place you are talking about.” ?
“And what if I tell you that another pilot ? 47 ? land me there last spring ”said the hunter.?
“Is that ? 48 ? ” asked the pilot.?
“Yes,it is.I swear(起誓) it.” ?
Well,this pilot could not let himself be? 49 ?by another,so he agreed to take the hunter.?
When they reached the place;the hunter? 50 ?out a small spot(地点) without trees in the middle of the forest,with a steep rise(陡峻的斜坡) at one end. The pilot thought that there was ? 51 ?room to land there,but the hunter said that the other pilot had done so the year before,so ? 52 ?went to the plane.When it came to the rise,it turned right over on to its? 53 ?.As the hunter climbed out,he ? 54 ?and said,“Yes,that is exactly how the other pilot managed? 55 ?last time.”
36.A.voyage B.entrance
C.way D.visit
解析:搭配问题,用排除法和比较法。首先排除B项,然后比较A、C、D三项。A、C、D三项作名词用时皆可接to,但voyage意为“航海,航行”;way意为“方式,方法;道路;visit意为“参观,访问,到(某地)”,比较A、C、D的意思,显然D项符合题意。?
答案:D
37.A.spring B.summer
C.autumn D.winter
解析:生活常识问题,用直接法。一般说来,(头年)秋冬积雪,来年春天融化,显然选A项。?
答案:A
38.A.bringing B.taking
C.carrying D.fetching
解析:词语辨析问题,用比较法。这四个动词有明确的方向性,bring意为“拿来,带来”;take意为“拿走,带走”;carry意为“携带,搬运”;fetch意为“去取回,去拿来”。比较四个词语语意知,应选C项。 ?
答案:C
39.A.where B.where there
C.there D.there where
解析:从句与搭配问题,用直接法。显然此处是一个由关系副词where引导的定语从句,另外there be为固定搭配,故应选B项。?
答案:B
40.A.comfortable B.favourite
C.precious D.dangerous
解析:上下文语境问题,用直接法或排除法。短文第一句话提示:猎人发现一处有众多动物的森林,这对于以捕猎为生的猎人来说无疑是再理想不过了。A、C、D三项与题意不符,故排除。favourite意为“最佳的、合适的、理想的”,与语境题意相符。?
答案:B
41.A.referred B.introduced
C.pointed D.showed
解析:搭配问题,用排除法或比较法。首先排除A、C两项,introduce sth.to sb.意为“把某物介绍给某人或让某人熟悉某物”,show sth.to sb.”意为“给某人看某物”。此处由于飞行员不知道森林中的具体位置,因此猎人在地图上指明其位置,比较B、D两项,知D为正确选项。?
答案:D
42.A.Instead B.Therefore
C.But D.However
解析:连词问题,用排除法。通过两个人对话交际的语境可以判断该处缺少转折关系的连词,A、B两项为副词,应排除。however在行文中常常伴有逗号,这是however用法的重要标志;but用在句首时不用逗号作为标志。故应选C项。?
答案:C
43.A.over B.through
C.across D.beyond
解析:上下文语境问题,用直接法。此处与上文“by carrying hunters over parts of the country”相对应,故选A项。?
答案:A
44.A.common B.ordinary
C.excellent D.wonderful
解析:语境问题,用排除法。ordinary和excellent都是以元音音素发音开头,前面的冠词应为an,这与题目相违背,故应排除B、C两项。猎人要想让飞行员找到他理想的森林地带,他应该对飞行员讲一些恭维之类的言语,以博得飞行员的好感,故应排除A项,那么只有D为正确选项。?
答案:D
45.A.false B.right
C.actual D.sure
解析:语境问题,用直接法。“That’s right”,是习惯表达法,A、C、D三项一般不这样表述;另外通过上文可知,飞行员对自己的驾驶技术和水平充满自信,故应选择B项。?
答案:B
46.A.tell B.announce
C.persuade D.prevent
解析:词语用法问题,用直接法或排除法。A项的用法是“tell sb./sth.”或“tell sb.+clause”,B项的用法是“announce to sb.that?clause”,C项为“persuade sb.(not)to do sth.”,D项为“prevent sb./sth.(from)doing sth.”,A 项此处可译为“我实话告诉?你……”。?
答案:A
47.A.had to B.did
C.should D.would
解析:语境语气问题,用直接法。由猎人说话的语气可以判断,此处应该选择did,表示强调语气。?
答案:B
48.A.perfect B.funny
C.true D.pleasant
解析:语境语气问题,用直接法。此处可以判断飞行员对猎人说话的真实性表示怀疑,故选C项。?
答案:C
49.A.hit B.struck
C.attacked D.beaten
解析:词语辨析问题,用排除法。hit意为“打击、碰撞、袭击”,strike意为“敲打、攻击、铸造”,attack意为“攻击、抨击、侵袭”,beat意为“敲打、打败;敲击”。我们常用defeat sb.或 beat sb.表示“打败、击败某人”。显然,飞行员决不愿意让他人超过自己,故应排除A、B、C三项,D为正确答案。?
答案:D
50.A.carried B.took
C.pointed D.worked
解析:词组辨析问题,用排除法或直接法。此处原文的意思是:当他们快要到达该处森林时,猎人用手指了指森林中一小块没有树的地方。carry out意为“执行、完成、实施”,take out意为“取出、拿出”,point out意为“指点、指明、指出”,work out意为“得出、计算出”。经过分析可知,C为正确选项。?
答案:C
51.A.much B.not enough
C.a little D.enough
解析:语意问题,用直接法。根据语句的意思,不难得出B项为正确答案。?
答案:B
52.A.down B.up
C.over D.under
解析:语境问题,用直接法。原文大意是:飞行员觉得着陆的空间不够,然而猎人则坚持说别的飞行员就是在这样的情况下着陆的,无奈飞行员只能将飞机下飞着陆。A项为正确答案。答案:A
53.A.stomach B.back
C.shoulder D.leg
解析:语境问题,用排除法或比较法。显然C、D两项不符合实际应排除。stomach可译为“腹部”,back意为“背部”,另外onto one’s back常连用,故应排除A项,B项为正确答案。答案:B
54.A.smiled happily B.shouted angrily
C.whispered anxiously D.cried curiously
解析:语境问题,用直接法。读到此处,读者应该领会到猎人的目标或计划已经达到,当然是“高兴地笑了”,故选A项。?
答案:A
55.A.me B.us
C.it D.him
解析:搭配问题,用直接法。manage it是指“上次,那位飞行员刚好就是这么做的”。另外,我们在交际中也常常有这样的一句话。No,thanks.I can manage it myself,意思是“不用,谢谢。我自己能够应付”,故选C项。?
答案:C
第三部分:阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A?
Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact Do you argue whether it?s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit ?
If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant?s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant?s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who caught hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth ,who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan.?
Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”,it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.?
To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a“simple fact”,try this simple ?experiment.?Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. Your left hand will tell you it’s hot!
56.What makes people think about simple facts differently
A.The fact that simple facts differ from one another.
B.The fact that people have different experience in the simple facts.
C.The fact that people often disagree with one another.?
D.The fact that it?s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.
解析:文章以“盲人摸象”的故事为例,讲了人们对同一事物有不同看法的原因在于人们的经历不同。??
答案:B?
57.The writer’s advice is_______.
A.we should never think about simple facts
B.we should never judge something with a one sided view
C.we should not agree about simple facts
D.we must learn from the six blind men
解析:要想对一个事物有一个全面的认识就应该全面地看问题,而不是仅仅看其某一个方面。答案:B
58.After reading the last paragraph,we may think of_______.
A.Newton’s law
B.Galileo’s theory of falling objects
C.Einstein’s Theory of Relativity?
D.Marx’s On Capital?
解析:无论是左手还是右手摸到的是同样的温水,感到温度不同是相对于此前的水所说的,这正是爱因斯坦的相对论。?
答案:C
59.The main idea of this passage is_______.
A.people often judge something according to his own experience
B.people often agree about simple facts
C.it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact
D.you should not care too much about simple facts
解析:本文主要谈了人们容易片面地看问题。?
答案:A
B?
One of the greatest sea tragedy that has ever occurred was that of the steamship Titanic. It was the first trip of the giant ship. There were more than two thousand people aboard on their way to the United States from England. On the night of April 14,1912,the sea was calm. The weather was beautiful. People were dancing in the spacious salon. Music, laughter and singing could be heard everywhere. The thought of danger was far away. Suddenly, just before midnight, the sailor on guard cried,“An iceberg!” Before the ship could change her course,the iceberg had torn a huge hole in the bottom of the ship. Nothing could be done. The ship began to sink and the passengers tried to escape, but there weren’t enough lifeboats. Another ship was passing nearby. The Titanic fired rockets into the air in order to get the other ships help. It could have saved most of the passengers, but it did not even stop. More than two?thirds of the passengers went down with the Titanic. It was one of the greatest sea disasters of all time. The new ship went down the sea. More than fifteen hundred people lost their lives.
60.According to the text, which of the following statements is right
A.The sea tragedy occured in the nineteenth century.
B.All the passengers were killed in the sea accident except the captain.
C.The sea tragedy happened just because the thought of danger was far away.
D.The tragedy happened in such a hurry that the shipmen could do nothing to stop it.
解析:该题属于实事细节题。根据第二、三段提供的情节,海难发生前,一切都那么平静,美好。人们对海难的到来没有丝毫思想准备。而冰山的出现是如此突然,以至于Titanic无法躲避,船底被撕开一个巨大的洞,客轮渐渐地沉没。对此,任何人都无能
为力。因此,正确选项为D。?
答案:D
61.Before the ship sank, _______.
A.the weather wasn’t fine
B.the people were enjoying the beautiful night
C.the sailors were not on duty
D.there had been a big hole in the bottom of the ship
解析:该题属于事实细节题。客轮沉没之前,天气很好,人们在夜色中玩得很愉快;这一情节与文中内容吻合。其他三个选项均与文中内容不符。因此,正确选项为B。?
答案:B
62.Which do you believe is the best opinion
A.If the ship wasn’t new,the tragedy would not have happened.
B.In case the other ship gave a hand in time,more passengers would have been rescued.
C.If there had been more lifeboats on the ship, the ship would not have sunk.
D.On condition that there were no icebergs,then there must have been fewer passengers who lost their lives.
解析:该题属于推理判断题。灾难发生的原因,不是船新的缘故;也不是救生船太少,救生船再多,也不能阻止轮船的沉没;乘客丧命人数的多少不是因为是否有冰山,关键在于如果另一只船能及时援助,死亡人数就能减少。因此,B为正确选项。 ?
答案:B
63.The Titanic fired rockets in the air _______.
A.because another ship which was passing did not give any help
B.in order to calm all the frightened passengers on the ship
C.to send signals to ask for help from the land
D.in order to stop another ship for help
解析:该题属于事实细节题。泰坦尼克号发出火箭,是为了向从附近经过的船发出求救信号。希望该船能够停下来给予援助,而不是A、B、C三个选项的内容。因此,正确选项为D。答案:D
64.The best title of the story should be _______.
A.The Most Dangerous Voyage
B.A Sea Tragedy
C.The Terrible Iceberg
D.A Regretful Ship
解析:该题属于主旨大意题。本文记叙了一次海难事件。因此,正确选项为B。?
答案:B
C?

When the weather gets cold,we change our clothes.We put on woolen dresses and suits,and we add nice warm overcoats.But animals cannot put on extra clothing to keep them warm.How do you think they manage to adapt to changes in temperature ?
Animals adapt to changes in the weather in many different ways.Warm?blooded animals,like bears,eat a lot during the summer.The extra food they eat forms a layer of fat in their bodies which keeps them warm when the winter comes.When they feel the air getting cooler in the fall,they wisely creep into dry caves and hollows to sleep the winter months away.They can sleep all winter without waking up to eat because the extra food they have eaten during the summer keeps them alive.Their long winter’s nap is called hibernation.In addition,warm?blooded animals keep warm by growing longer and thicker coats of fur than they have in the summer.The extra fur forms a protective outer layer that keeps the cold out and the heat from their bodies in.?
Cold-blooded animals have protective outer layers, too, but for a different purpose. Snakes, toads, lizards and crocodiles have thick scaly skin that keeps their bodies from drying out in the hot sun. Cold-blooded animals cannot stand heat much above 98.6 degrees. They hide in the shade, underground, or in the water during the day. They come out after sundown to search for food, and(if they aren’t living in the water)to drink water from a nearby river or pond.?
In order to live, animals must be able to adapt to their surroundings. Just think how cold you’d be in winter without a heavy coat to wear!
68.Which of the following is NOT true
A.Cold-blooded animals do not need protective coats.
B.Cold-blooded animals do not like hot sun.
C.The snakes’ scaly covers stop their bodies from drying out.
D.A bear do not need to wake up in winter to look for food.

Percy’s mysterious(神秘的)disappearance upset everybody a great deal. Percy is a performer in a night club and just before he was due to appear on the stage, it was discovered that he was not in his usual place. There was certainly good cause to worry because Percy is a dangerous snake and he is over six feet long.?
The search for Percy lasted several days and a great number of people joined in. As Percy could not possibly have gone out into the streets, he must still be hiding somewhere in the club. The searchers found that some of the boards in Percy’s room had rotted and there was a gap(间隙) in the floor. It seemed likely that Percy had slipped under the floor and then crept behind a wall where there was a nice warm central heating unit.??
The manager of the club suggested that Percy might have found some mice behind the wall and eaten them. Since then he had probably curled round the warm pipes and gone to sleep. As a snake that has had a satisfying meal can sleep for several days continuously,a determined effort had to be made to get him out. The hot water was therefore turned off immediately and the temperature in the room fell to a few degrees above zero. But Percy, who has the reputation(名誉) of being a lazy creature, made no attempt to come out. The manager then tried something else. He placed a dish full of tasty delicacies(精美食品) near the broken floor boards. Again Percy failed to appear. With the hot water turned off, it was decided that Percy must be freezing by now, so an electric fire was put into his room to encourage him to come in and warm himself. To help him make up his mind even more quickly, cold air was blown under the floor boards. Even these measures did not succeed, so there was only one thing left to do. The next morning, the whole wall was carefully knocked down brick by brick so as not to frighten Percy with too much noise. The hot water pipes were gradually laid bare ,but ,to their astonishment, the searchers found no sign of Percy anywhere.
