语篇解读 一个小男孩由于腿部残疾整天意志消沉，父亲为了帮助他树立自信心，让兄弟姐妹们一起种树，之后父亲偷偷地帮助他，结果他的树长得最好。小男孩找回了自信，长大后他没有成为植物学家而是当选为美国总统，他就是富兰克林·罗斯福。
1．解析： 由上文的“thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world”可知，他“很少”和同学玩耍。

(2017·海口市调研，C)
It was the summer of 1998 and I was trying to study hard for my engineering degree. I went up to the roof for a break and watched people swimming in the natural rock pool below our house. It was a sunny day. But as I looked into the distance, I discovered a series of three or four big waves racing towards the shore. They must have been at least four meters high and were heading at speed in the direction of the pool. From the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.
Without thinking, I held my bodyboard (冲浪板) and shouted at a stranger to call the lifeguards (救生员). My neighbor Moises had heard the screaming as well and was also outside with his bodyboard, so together we rushed to the sea.
Once we got closer, we discovered two people floating about 400 meters out. Waiting for help wasn't a choice. I didn't think twice about trying to save them. When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless. We could tell they were still alive from their small breaths. We put them on our boards, patted their faces to wake them up, telling them to be strong, all the while swimming hard to keep ourselves afloat.
Thirty minutes later, I began to feel a bit afraid and tired. Finally, a small boat with three lifeguards headed towards us. When the boat pulled up, we helped push the couple on board, only to be told that there was no room for us. It seemed pretty unprofessional (不专业的) to leave us there—we were a couple of miles from the shore.
I didn't feel like a hero. I'm sure that anyone who could swim would have done the same thing.
文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和他的邻居救助两位被海浪冲离岸边的游泳者的故事。
1．What can we learn from the passage?
A．A stranger asked the writer to call the lifeguards.
B．The writer was afraid and regretted the rescue.
C．The writer told from the screams that someone needed help.
D．A neighbor and the writer rushed to the sea with nothing in hand.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“From the screams that started coming from the beach, I could tell someone was in trouble.”可知，答案选C。
2．Upon getting close to them, the writer found that the two people ________.
A．had been saved by others
B．were struggling in the sea
C．were dying
D．were crying for help loudly
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段第四句“When we finally reached them 10 minutes later, they were almost lifeless, pale and motionless.”可知，当作者和他的邻居到达溺水者身旁的时候，他们已经奄奄一息了。故答案选C。
3．From Paragraph 4 we can infer that the writer thought ________.
A．people in need don't come first
B．they were too tired to swim back
C．waiting for help wasn't a choice
D．the lifeguards should make room for them
答案：D 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句可知，作者认为那些救生员太不专业了，居然没考虑到给施救者(即作者和他的邻居)留出坐船的地方。故答案选D。

Taiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons!
There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.
The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more.
Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,” he said.
. After the car owner received a phone call, he __________.
A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried
B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park
C. sent some money to the thief by mail
D. told the press about it
. The “lazier and more inventive” criminal refers to _________.
A. the car thief who stays at home
B. one of those who put the ads in the paper
C. one of the policemen in Changwa
D. the owner of the pigeons
. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show ________.
A. how easily people get fooled by criminals
B. what Chen thinks might be correct
C. the thief is extremely clever
D. the money paid is too little
. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to __________.
A. criminals B. pigeons
C. the stolen cars D. demands for money
3. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because .
A. he reads the ads in the newspaper
B. he lives in the same neighborhood
C. he has seen the car owners in the park
D. he has trained the pigeons to follow them

【2017广东省深圳高级中学】C
Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer-“That’s not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
3. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _________.
A. to express the opinions of many parents
B. to choose a right one for their daughter
C. to check the cost of college education
D. to find a right one near a large city
3. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges __________.
A. receive too many visitors
B. mirror the rest of the nation
C. hide the truth of campus crime
D. have too many watchdog groups
3. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means __________.
A. mind B. admitC. believe
D. expect
3. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges ___________.
A. that are protected by campus security
B. that report campus crime by law
C. that are free from campus crime
D. that enjoy very good publicity
. What is the text mainly about?
A. Exact campus crime statistics.
B. Crimes on or around campuses.
C. Effective solutions to campus crime.
D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety.36—40 BCCBD
