  The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor man held on to any bit of  1  they could find. They called to the Marie for  2  , but she was far  3  the reach of the human voice. At one o'clock in the morning suddenly some  4  were seen in the distance: another ship! The shouts of the  5  were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The  6  of the ship that had arrived at the scene  7  to save their lives was the Ellen. What had  8  her to the exact spot  9  the darkness and the pathless sea? Her captain had known  10  of the wreck (沉船) and had, indeed,  11  to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.

  “  12  I was forced by the wind to change my course, a small bird flew across the ship once or twice and then flew at my face. I  13  of this until exactly the same thing happened a second time,  14  caused me to think it rather  15  . While I was thus  16  , the same bird, for the third time, made its appearance and flew  17  in the same way as before. I was then  18  to change my course back to the original one. I had not gone far  19  I heard a strange voice; and when I tried to  20  where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked. I immediately did my best to save them.”

答案:D;B;C;B;D;A;D;A;C;B;A;A;C;A;D;C;B;C;A;C
解析:

  答案提示:

  本文是記敘文。一只輪船在海上沉沒了,船上的人們落入水中,一只鳥運用特殊的方法將此事告訴了另外一只船的船長,船長帶著他的船隊將落水的人們救起。

  1.D 提示:hold on to意為“緊緊地抓住”。通讀全文我們可以知道現在這些人是在茫茫大海里,他們必須抱住能找到的任何一塊木頭,以幫助自己逃生。

  2.B 提示:他們向“瑪麗號”船求救。聯系上下文我們可以知道the Marie是船的名字。

  3.C 提示:beyond the reach of意為“在……范圍之外”。人們向“瑪麗號”船求救,然而船上的人們根本聽不到他們的呼救聲。

  4.B 提示:lights的意思是“燈光”。C項有一定干擾性。從空后的another ship看,C項不合題意。

  5.D 提示:其他選項均有較大的干擾性。聯系上下文,這些人的身份我們一直不知道,因此D項為最佳選項。

  6.A 提示:the Ellen是船的名字,因此,此空選name。

  7.D 提示:in time及時;ahead of time提前;at times有時;on time準時。

  8.A 提示:“是什么把她(船)帶到這個地點的?”

  9.C 提示:through the darkness and the pathless sea意為“穿過黑夜和茫茫大海”。

  10.B 提示:從空后的“had,indeed,  46  (attempted) to sail away from it”及下一段,我們可以知道,船長事先對此事一無所知。

  11.A 提示:因為不知道這里發生沉船事故,因此他曾試圖將船開走。

  12.A 提示:just as在這里引導時間狀語從句。

  13.C 提示:A項有較大干擾性。pay attention后的介詞應該是to。

  14.A 提示:which在這里引導非限制性定語從句,which指代“the same thing happened a second time”的內容。

  15.D 提示:這件事讓我感到不同尋常。

  16.C 提示:considering在此相當于thinking。指船長認為鳥的舉動有些異常。

  17.B 提示:fly about意為“到處飛”。

  18.C 提示:其他選項均有一定的干擾性?涨暗膚as決定了B項不正確。force意為“強迫”,從文中我們可以看出沒有什么強迫船長這么做,因此A項不合題意,顯然D項也不正確。船長在這里說“鳥的異常舉動勸服了我改變主意”。

  19.A 提示:when在此意為“就在這時”。

  20.C 提示:因為是黑夜,在茫茫大海上,船長一時辨不清聲音來自什么地方,因此他首先確定聲音的位置。where they had come from是賓語從句。

閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的四個選項中選出最佳答案.

  Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Many people feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world.

  Taxes are the money that people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal(聯邦的), state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.

  Salaried people who earn more than four to five thousand per year must pay a certain part of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies for different people. It depends on the salaries. The federal government has a two-level income tax: that is, 15 or 28 percent. $17, 850 is the cut off. The tax rate is 15 percent below $17, 850 and 28 percent above.

  The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, or any of the other forty-eight states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which people buy in the state. Some states use income tax and sales tax to raise their revenues(稅收).

  The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax(residents who own a home have to pay taxes on it)and excise tax(貨物稅), which is collected on vehicles in a city. The cities use this money for education, police, public works, etc.

  Since Americans pay such nigh taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often say that the government misuses their tax dollars. They all believe that taxes are too high in this country.

(1)In the United States, taxes are collected to provide revenues for ________.

[  ]

A. the federal government

B. the state government

C. the city government

D. the three levels of government

(2)How much money does an American earning $40, 000 per year pay to the federal government as income tax according to the passage?

[  ]

A. 28% of this income.

B. 15% of this income.

C. $17,850.

D. $5,000.

(3)What happens to buyers when a sales tax is collected?

[  ]

A. They have to pay more than what the item costs.

B. They can pay less than what the item costs.

C. They have to pay exactly what the item costs.

D. They will all give up buying the item.

(4)What tax does an American have to pay to the city if he owns a car?

A. Property tax
B. Excise tax
C. Income tax
D. Sales tax

(5)After reading the passage, we might feel that Americans seem to be ________.

[  ]

A. satisfied with their taxes

B. proud of their taxes

閱讀理解

  For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV.Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They’re called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work and their bad condition has become a subject of concern (關心). Lynette Long was once the principal of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of the kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was often telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys that it never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

  She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the effect working couples and single parents had on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by the children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to are reported to be scared. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

  The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall under a bed, in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume.

  It's hard to get statistics (numbers) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

1.Which sentence in the second paragraph is the topic sentence?

[  ]

A.We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.

B.A lot of kids had chains around their necks.

C.I was often telling them to put them inside their shirts.

D.She learned they were house keys.

2.The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is ________ .

[  ]

A.tiredness
B.freedom
C.loneliness
D.fear

3.The word“nightmare”in the third paragraph probably means ________ .

[  ]

A.night suit
B.night habit
C.terrible dream at nigh
D.staying up at night

4.We may draw a conclusion that ________ .

[  ]

A.latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time alone

B.latchkey children try to hide their feeling

C.latchkey children often watch TV with their parents

D.it's difficult to find out how many latchkey children there are

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

  I began to grow up that winter nigh when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

  I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

  The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost-having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what l should be.Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad, and saw no end to“the hard times.”

  My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews With lmmigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

  From my experiences I have learned one important rule:almost all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
