　　.阅读理解

　　A

　　(2011·陕西高考)In early autumn I applied for admission to college.I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly against it.When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up.

　　“You can't say it's not a great university, just because Papa went there.”

　　“That's not it at all.And it is a top university.” She was still holding the pieces in her hand.“But we can't afford to send you to college.”

　　“I wouldn't dream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help support you and Papa? Things aren't that bad, are they？”

　　“No，” she said.“I don't expect you to help support us.”

　　Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop.His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers, my mother had to help.She picked up a long­forgotten membership in the local league of women, so that she could get to know more people.Whether those people would turn into customers was another question.I knew that my parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What's more, they had not wanted enough to be rich and successful; otherwise they could not possibly have managed their lives so badly.

　　I was torn between the desire to help them and change their lives, and the determination not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to get what I wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship (奖学金)．My father could hardly contain his pride in me, and my mother eventually gave in before my success.

　　A．To get a well­paid job for himself.

　　B．To improve relations with his mother.

　　C．To go to his dream university.

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]　本文为记叙文。“我”决定报考 Cornell University，但妈妈因为无法承担费用而坚决反对，最后“我”通过努力获得了全额奖学金，妈妈在“我”的成功面前让步了。

　　1．D　细节理解题。由第三段妈妈所说的话“But we can't afford to send you to college.”可知，她反对“我”上这所大学的原因是无法承担这些费用。

　　2．C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 Father borrowed money from his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop.可知，父亲是从亲戚那里借的钱，故答案为C项。

　　3．A　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段 To get new customers，my mother had to help.She picked up a．..so that she could get to know more people.可以得知，妈妈保持当地妇女联盟的永久会员资格，是为了认识更多的人，以此来帮助父亲的生意。故答案为A项。

　　Humpback whales

　　Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean.This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive.The name “humpback”， which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale's back forms as it dives.

　　Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach.During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two­thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap.A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.

　　A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head.It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 metres above the water.

　　The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two­thirds of the way down its back.Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes.These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same.

　　Humpback whales live in large groups.They communicate with each other through complex “songs”.

　　Quick Facts

　　Size： 14m­18m in length；

　　30­50 tons in weight

　　Living

　　environment： Open ocean and shallow coastline waters

　　Migration： From warm tropical (热带的) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat

　　Diet： Shellfish, plants and fish of small size

　　Hunting： Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish.The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.

　　Current state： Endangered: it is estimated that there are about 5000­7500 humpback whales worldwide.

　　1.According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale ________.

　　A．cannot survive in waters near the shore

　　B．doesn't live in the same waters all the time

　　C．lives mainly on underwater plants

　　D．prefers to work alone when hunting food

　　2．To make a breach, a humpback whale must ________.

　　A．use its tail flukes to leap out of the water

　　B．twist its body sideways to jump high

　　C．blow two streams of water

　　D．communicate with a group of humpbacks

　　3．From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale ____.

　　A．has its unique markings on its tail flukes

　　B．has black and white fingerprints

　　C．gets its name from the way it hunts

　　D．is a great performer due to its songs

　　答案与解析

　　[语篇解读]　本文为说明文。介绍了座头鲸的生活习性、特征、相互交流的方式以及目前的现状——预计全球座头鲸的数量大约是五千到七千五百头。

　　1．B　事实细节题。根据Quick Facts中的Living environment和Migration的详细内容可知，座头鲸不会总是生活在同一海域。故选B。

　　2．A　事实细节题。文章第二段主要介绍了座头鲸潜水时迷人的旋转动作。从本段分析，在座头鲸腾空旋转的过程中，它要用其强有力的尾翼使劲一跳，将三分之二的身子腾空浮出水面。因而可以推测出，为了腾空旋转，座头鲸必须要用其尾翼腾空跳出水面。故选A。

　　3．A　推理判断题。文章倒数第二段主要介绍座头鲸与众不同的特性。重点介绍了座头鲸尾翼上的独一无二的特征：胸翅长达身长三分之一；尾翼侧下独特的黑白斑点。这些标志就像指纹一样，绝无第二。
