Ⅲ.阅读理解
(2017·贵州德江一中模拟)A student with the nickname (绰号) of “Silo” from University of Wisconsin is eating his way through school competitively. At present, Eric Dahl ranks third in the world of competitive eating, which is determined by All Pro Eating rankings, though he once held the top spot. So far Dahl has earned more than 18,000 dollars in prize money to help pay for his education.
“I'm eating for my education，” Eric Dahl said in a proud tone.“I think it will help me get through and achieve my success in my education.”
Dahl was drawn to competitive eating in 2011, at the former Big Red's Steakhouse in Madison. Dahl didn't want to pay for his meal so he signed up for a challenge: eat a threepound cheesesteak sandwich in less than 10 minutes and skip (略过) the bill. He finished his eating within 5 minutes and 50 seconds.
Dahl's first pay came from Dickey's Barbecue Pit in suburban Minneapolis, where he earned D|S250 for eating nine pulledpork sandwiches within six minutes. The former high school athlete found the competition and its overthetop atmosphere reminding him of professional wrestling.
“I really get excited when the crowd starts cheering，” he said. “I am friends with other competitive eaters, but once I'm on stage I don't have any friends but we have become opponents (对手)．”
Dahl walks a few miles a day, lifts weights twice a week and plays soccer and climbs mountains with his 220pound weight. He eats no more than 3,100 calories a day, mostly vegetables to avoid increasing his waistline, and stretches (撑大) his stomach by eating 10 pounds of cabbage in a single sitting followed by a lot of water.
His next challenge is scheduled for Saturday. Dahl will try to win D|S1,000 at a
national pizzaeating contest on Library Mall at the University of WisconsinMadison. Good luck to him and let's wait for his good news.
1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Most of Dahl's good friends take part in eating competitions together.
B．Dahl develops a good relationship with his competitors behind stage.
C．Dahl finds the eating competition is a little like professional wrestling.
D．Dahl got his first award at the University of WisconsinMadison.
2．Dahl trains for competitive eating through the following ways EXCEPT ________.
A．drinking plenty of wine
B．doing some sports
C．mostly eating vegetables
D．stretching his stomach
3．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．the highest award will be no more than D|S1,000
B．the competitive eating is concerned with vegetables
C．Dahl will continue his competitive eating this Saturday
D．the author believes Dahl will win the eating competition
4．Where can you most probably read the passage?
A．In a science textbook.
B．In a travel book.
C．In a medical report.
D．In a newspaper.
答案
Ⅰ.
A
1．解析：another 考查不定代词。与上文的“For one thing”相对应，此处应用another。for one thing ... for another ... 意为“一则……，再则……”。
2．解析：pressure 考查名词。根据空格前的形容词性物主代词their可知，空格处应填名词，故填pressure。
3．解析：But 考查并列连词。上文“these make it more and more popular with high school students”与下文“many parents and teachers hold a different view”之间存在转折关系，故填表示转折关系的并列连词but，且单词首字母必须大写。
4．解析：which 考查关系代词。根据下文的“should be used to study”可判断出，此处缺少主语，且指代前一句中的“a lot of time and energy”，故用which引导非限制性定语从句。
5．解析：playing 考查现在分词。根据语境可知，此处应用固定短语“paly a(n) ... role in”，再根据上文中的is 并分析句子结构可知，此处应用进行时。故填playing。
6．解析：meaningful 考查形容词。由下文的中心名词tool可知，此处应用形容词，故填meaningful。
7．解析：when 考查连词。由句中的关键信息词Only和“can we make a successful microblog”可知，句中含有部分倒装结构，只有“only＋状语/状语从句”位于句首时才会出现此类情况，且此处表示只有当我们掌握这些技能时，我们才能成功地管理一个微博，故填连词when。
8．解析：organizing 考查现在分词。句子的主语we和所给动词organize之间存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故此处应用现在分词。
9．解析：itself 考查反身代词。分析句子结构并结合提示词可知，此处应填itself。句意：事实上，微博本身是没有危害的。
10．解析：that 考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，此处为强调句，强调了句子的主语“our attitude”，故用that，而matters则为句子的谓语动词。
B
1．解析：wonderful 考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用形容词作表语，故填wonder的形容词形式wonderful。
2．解析：an 考查不定冠词。根据语境可知，此处表示记得小时候我把篝火晚会看作一段令人兴奋的时光。此处time为抽象名词具体化，且被发音以元音音素开头的形容词exciting修饰，故用不定冠词an。3．解析：family 考查名词。由下文的“mum, dad, and my brother”可知，Betty 是与家人而不是与同学一起享受篝火晚会的。故填family。4．解析：telling 考查现在分词。分析句子结构可知，此处“my dad”作“listening to”的宾语，“my dad”与tell之间存在主谓关系，故用现在分词telling作宾语补足语。
5．解析：when 考查连词。根据语境可知，此处表示我很小的时候，故用连词when。6．解析：was snowing 考查时态。由语境及下文中的“at night”可知，此处强调的是当时正在发生的事，故用过去进行时，即was snowing。7．解析：candles 考查名词复数。根据下文中的“the flickering (闪烁) candle flames”及该空格前面的two可知，此处应用candles。8．解析：Then 考查副词。前文Jim和Betty分别讲述了自己关于蜡烛和篝火的美好回忆，下文Betty决定举办篝火晚会，联系上下文可知此处应用Then。9．解析：it 考查代词。根据语境可知，此处应用代词it指代上文的“a big bonfire”。10．解析：one 考查数词。根据语境和后面的“by one”可知，此处应填one。one by one是固定搭配，表示“逐个地，逐一地”。Ⅱ.1.解析：选C 根据下文“...almost caused him to despair (绝望)”可知，船长此时是沮丧的。
2．解析：选B 船在大海中被汹涌的大浪摆布。作者将这种情形比喻成像一片羽毛被风吹到空中。

7．解析：选B 根据该空上下文可知，那位水手抓住甲板上的栏杆以避免自己落到大海里。
8．解析：选D 根据下文“almost made the boat tip (翻倒) over”可知，一个大浪袭击，船差点翻了。
9．解析：选A 根据上文可知那位水手跌倒在甲板上，并且在甲板上滚动，再根据下文“found another bar to hold on to”可知，他是幸运的，没有掉进大海，他又抓住了另一护栏。
10．解析：选C 根据上文可知，船长一直在风暴中控制船，所以他一定很累。
11．解析：选D 根据下文“the captain”可知，那位水手抓住船长的肩膀，使他转过身来，以便听见他讲话。
12．解析：选A 根据下文“What do you need officer? Don't you see I am trying to __13__ the ship and find out our way back？”可推知，船长对这位水手生气了。
13．解析：选A 根据下文“and find out our way back”可推知，船长正在控制船。
14．解析：选B 船长是用抱怨的口吻对这位水手讲话。
15．解析：选A 根据下文的叙述可知，这位水手用手指着(与船行驶)相反的方向。
16．解析：选B 根据下文“thanks to the crew and the lighthouse”可知，该水手说：“灯塔正在那边，在相反的方向。”
17．解析：选C 根据上文“We are going in the wrong direction！”可知，这是十分危险的。
18．解析：选C 根据下文“thanks to the crew and the lighthouse”可知，船马上朝着正确的方向航行，多亏了这位水手与灯塔，那条船上所有的人都得救了。
19．解析：选D 参见上题解析。
20．解析：选B 根据第一段“The captain of the boat lost his way in the middle of a storm.”可知，这里作者将人生比喻为在大海上的风暴中行船。
Ⅲ.1.解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I am friends with other competitive eaters, but once I'm on stage I don't have any friends but we have become opponents (对手)．”可知，尽管Dahl跟其他人在比赛时是很强的对手，但赛后却是非常好的朋友。
2．解析：选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，Dahl通过运动，饮食训练自己的饮食量。文中提到喝大量的水，而不是酒。
3．解析：选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“His next challenge is scheduled for Saturday. Dahl will try to win D|S1,000 at a
national pizzaeating contest ...”可知，在Dahl在本星期六有一场比赛。
4．解析：选D 文章出处题。文章主要讲述了大胃王Dahl如何开始参加竞吃大赛，及他如何训练自己的胃口，并且本星期六还要参加比赛，故推知，本文最可能是一篇出现在报纸上的资讯报道。
