Ⅲ.阅读理解
Anthony Horowitz was miserable as a child. He was,
as he puts it,
“not very bright” and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents,
who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8,
Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (虐待的) boarding school in his native England,
even though he screamed and pleaded with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was,
‘It'll be good for him’,
” Horowitz recalls.
It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies,
had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me,
” he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel (反抗). The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old,
I remembered asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”
Now,
at 55,
Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies,
and the eighth book featuring the young spy,
Crocodile Tears,
came out this month.
The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14yearold Alex Rider,
an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.
Horowitz said he didn't try to write for kids; it just came out that way. “I have a feeling that's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room,
the character in the room,
and get on with the action,
” he said.
That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because,
he says,
writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grownups. In both cases,
it's all about entertaining people with a good story.
Now,
Horowitz couldn't be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”
31.The text is mainly about________.
A.Horowitz's popular book—Alex Rider
B.Horowitz's miserable childhood
C.Horowitz,
a successful children's writer
D.Horowitz's special writing style
32.In his childhood,
Anthony Horowitz________.
A.was more intelligent than his brother
B.was paid more attention by his parents
C.couldn't understand why he was sent to the boarding school
D.led a miserable life because of poverty
33.In the boarding school,
Horowitz's teachers________.
A.showed great concern for him
B.often abused and bullied him
C.taught him how to write stories
D.thought little of his ability
34.Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?
A.He was the beloved child of his family.
B.He benefited a lot from boarding school.
C.He emphasizes the plot rather than character in stories.
D.Although he is successful,
he isn't very happy.

课时作业(十一)
.1.A 考查名词词义辨析。have belief in相信。句意:那位老人非常相信中医。thought思想,思维;idea主意;relief缓和,减轻。
2.B 考查固定搭配。congratulate…on sth意为“祝贺……”。
3. B 考查时态。现在进行时可以表示将要发生的动作。
4.C 考查动词词义辨析。这里指信用卡行业期待信用卡取代纸币,replace“取代,代替”,符合语境。exchange交换,调换;reduce减少,缩小;trade做生意,进行贸易;均不符合句意。
5.B found是动词原形,意为“使有根据”;founded on是过去分词短语作定语,修饰story。
6.C 考查常用搭配。句意:你应该请几天假休息,你的气色不好。off的意思相当于away from,“从……中离开”。take off有“拿掉,取消,脱衣服,起飞”等意思,在这里指“休假”。
7.C 考查状语从句的连词。句意:不吃早饭也能导致你吃得过多。更糟的是,既然你的身体处于比较慢的状态,它就不能有效燃烧体内的能量。根据句意,应该选择C项。

.通过与父亲一起钓鱼的一次亲身经历,小男孩受到了深刻的道德教育,从而影响了他的一生。
11.D 由第一段倒数第二句It was 10 pm—two hours before the season opened. 可知是鲈鱼季节开放之前。
12.B 他是去钓鱼而非其他。
13.A 当渔竿向下弯的时候,他知道线的另一端一定钓到了一条大鱼。
14.A 根据句意可知这里表示在线的另一端(on the other end)。on the one hand,on the other hand 意为“一方面……;另一方面……”; at the either side意为“在任何一边”。
15.C 小男孩钓鱼技巧很熟练,父亲看了眼神充满赞赏。
16.D 被钓着的鱼当然是筋疲力尽。
17.B 但他钓着的是一条鲈鱼。此处用but 表示转折,因为鲈鱼是禁止垂钓的。
18.C “你得把它放回去,孩子,”他说道。此处指“放回去(put…back)”。
19.A even though 表示让步,意为“即使”。句意:即使没有人看到他们,更无从得知他何时钓到了这条鱼。
20.A tell分辨,辨别;常与can,could,be able to 连用。
21.C 从父亲不可动摇的语气中,他知道这个决定没有商量的余地。即fixed“固定了的”。
22.C the black water 意为“漆黑的水中”。句意:他慢慢地将鱼钩从大鲈鱼的唇上取下,然后蹲下将鱼放回水中。第一段中提到他在湖上钓鱼,所以不可能把鱼放回到河流或海里,更不可能放入容器里。
23.B 鱼儿摆动着它强健的身躯,消失在水中。flee 逃跑;disappear消失;float漂浮;swim游。
24.B 的确他说得对。 他再也没钓过那么大一条鱼。
25.A land 意为“将鱼钓上岸”。see看见;cast撒网;throw投,掷。
26.D the same fish指被他自己钓着的那条鱼。但每次他面临道德难题而举棋不定的时候,他的眼前总是浮现出那条鱼。
27.C 此处是强调句型。意指要付诸行动却很难。
28.B do right 做得对、得当。do wrong做得不对;do good做好事;do harm危害。句意:在没人瞧见的时候,我们是否仍始终如一,一丝不苟呢?
29.A 由下文For we would have learned the truth. 可知此处是“被教给”。句意:在我们还小的时候,如果有人教我们要把鱼放回去,我们会这样做。
30.B 此处是形容词作状语,表示状态。句意:正确的决定在我们的记忆里变得清新。
.文章向我们介绍了儿童小说作家Anthony Horowitz的童年生活、所取得的成就以及现在的幸福生活。
31.C 主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出,文章讲述了一位成功的儿童作家Anthony Horowitz的经历、成就及其人生感悟。其他各项都是文章介绍的细节。
32.C 细节理解题。由第一段“not very bright” and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother.可以排除A、B、D三项。
33.D 细节理解题。由第二段“My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me”可知答案。短语“have a low opinion of sb. /sth. ”(对某人/事)评价甚低;轻视;瞧不起。本句意为“老师们对我的评价非常低”,由此可知答案。
34.C 细节理解题。由倒数第三段“I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action”可知答案。
