　　[2015·河南洛阳统考二]One winter, my cousin and I were playing toy blocks

　　in the yard. My mom was out for shopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room.

　　Suddenly, it started to snow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily.

　　Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when I opened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs.

　　I let go of the door, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically but I had put a rock, right next to the door so it wouldn't close. But while I was running to my cousin's aid I'd accidentally kicked the rock.

　　Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfortunately it started to get really windy. It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad,but

　　he

　　was

　　sleeping

　　soundly.

　　I

　　mean

　　sleep­through­a­tornado­ soundly. It was of no use.

　　Then I tried to climb over the fence but it didn't work because the fence was iced by snow and wind, and

　　the fence is six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormed some ideas on ways to get out. At

　　one point, I was seriously considering jumping out of the

　　tree house and use the trampoline (蹦床) to jump over the

　　fence.

　　So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline.

　　Then I started to jump. First try—I almost cracked my head. Second try—this time I convinced my cousin to do

　　it but at the last second, he chickened_out. Third try—I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence, and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luckily, I fell on a big snow drift.

　　Finally, my mom came back. Then I got inside and unlocked the door for my cousin to get in. Then we shared this story to my mom and dad.

　　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是作者与表弟在后院玩耍时突遇风雪天气，因意外他们被锁在门外的经历。

　　problem was that________.

　　A．the fence was icy

　　B．the fence was slippery and high

　　2．The attitude of the author's cousin towards jumping

　　on trampoline seems________.

　　3．The words“chickened out”(Line 4, Paragraph 5) most probably means________.

　　A．fell down

　　B．cried out

　　C．jumped up

　　D．backed out

　　答案：D　考查词义猜测。根据倒数第二段的“this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second, he chickened out”中的convinced和but可知，作者说服了表弟，但在最后一秒钟表弟又打退堂鼓了，即D项正确。

　　4．Which would be the best title of the text?

　　A．Climbing Fence in the Snow

　　B．An Adventure in Yard

　　C．Friendship Produces Pleasure

　　D．We Are Independent

　　答案：B　考查标题归纳。文章讲述的是作者与表弟在后院玩积木时突遇风雪天气，因意外他们被锁在门外时所采取的冒险行动，因此B项正确。

　　[2015·北京石景山区一模]

　　Hearing VoicesWould you like to be an actor, but aren't the right

　　age or physical type for the part? Don't give up： there

　　may be a place for you in the world of voice­acting.

　　Twenty­year­old_Rickey_Collins_brings_Tucker_Foley_to_like_in_the_cartoon_Danny_Phantom. In addition to

　　many appearances on television and in movies, Rickey

　　is a voice­over actor, someone we hear but don't see.

　　Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera.

　　After school, his grandmother­a manager and acting coach­helped him develop his skills by doing voice

　　exercises and reading aloud.

　　Voice­over actors do many kinds of acting. They are the voices of cartoon characters on television, in movies and video games, and for communicating toys. In films, they replace the foreign language conversation with English version. They create crowd noises, make commercials, act in radio plays, and record telephone instructions and public announcements. They read books on tape and even record museum tours.

　　Like other actors, voice­over actors need to understand scripts, interpret characters, and breathe correctly. They have to master voice techniques，such as pacing, volume, and range. Sometimes they use their normal voices; other times they change their voices to create different characters or noises. Rickey receives his

　　Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes

　　each episode (集). He writes helpful notes on the script to guide himself on speaking his part.

　　Rickey practices, then tapes at the recording studio.

　　He and the other cast members sit in a soundproof booth, acting out their characters as they read their lines into the microphones. “The cartoon gets created after we record

　　the words, so we have to imagine everything in our

　　mind，” says Rickey. Later, the recorded words, music,

　　and sound effects are combined with the cartoon art to

　　create the cartoon we enjoy on TV. Sound interesting?

　　Maybe you can have a “voice” in acting after all！

　　本文讲述了主人公Rickey担任配音演员的故事。

　　5．The sentence underlined in Paragraph 2 means________.

　　A．Rickey draws the character

　　B．Rickey names Tucker Foley

　　C．Rickey makes the character seem real

　　D．Rickey decides the future of Tucker Foley

　　答案：C　考查句意猜测。回归本句所在的文中第二段内容可知Rickey的配音工作使得卡通中的人物Tucker Foley活灵活现。

　　6．From the passage we can infer that________.

　　A．it's very complex to become a cartoon film

　　voice­over actor

　　B．Rickey has been involved with acting most of his

　　life

　　C．Rickey was an actor when he was six

　　D．many people have nice voices

　　答案：B　考查推理判断。由文中第二段Rickey has acted since he was 6, both on and off camera.可推断出他大部分时间都在表演。而C则是文中的具体事实，不能选。A、D未提到文中事实，故更不可能推断出此答案，不能选。

　　7．Paragraph 4 mainly tells us that________.

　　A．a voice­over actor works very hard

　　B．being a voice­over actor needs talents

　　C．being a voice­over actor requires skills

　　D．a voice­over actor has many techniques

　　答案：C　考查主旨大意。由本段中词汇“need to understand; have to master; change their voices to create等确定答案。

　　8．The information in this article would be most valuable

　　to people________.

　　A．who want to build a career around their voices

　　B．who need to develop their stage­acting skills

　　C．who want to understand scriptwriting

　　D．who need to practice voice exercises

　　答案：A　考查主旨大意。由文章题目及整个内容可判断出答案。

　　1．character n. 角色；人物；性格　2.replace vt. 取代；代替

　　3．technique n. 技巧；技能

　　4.normal adj. 正常的

　　5．combine vt. 联合；结合

　　1．give up 放弃

　　2．in addition to 除此之外(还)……

　　3．after all 最终；毕竟；终究

　　原文：Rickey receives his Danny Phantom scripts only a few days before he tapes each episode.(before的用法)

　　译文：Rickey收到《幻影丹尼》的手稿只有几天后他便要录制每一集了。

　　仿写：The meaning of the word “nice” changed a few times before_it_finally_came_to_conclude_the_sense_“pleasant”．

　　“nice”这个单词的含义在最终被确定包含“令人愉快的”含义之前经过了多次变化。

　　Ⅲ.七选五

　　Dear Mr. President，

　　Our class has been studying a unit on first aid.

　　_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　Yours sincerely，

　　Li Hua

　　One possible version：

　　Dear_Mr._President，

　　Our_class_has_been_studying_a_unit_on_first_aid. It has been very useful because we have learnt about what to do to help someone who has had an accident.

　　Even though the unit is very interesting and useful, we would like to be able to do a first aid course. Because it would give information about many more situations. It would also give us the chance to practice first aid treatments.

　　I suggest that school should organize a first aid course. We think such a course at

　　school is a necessary part of our education and will make us more useful members of our society. Perhaps we will even save someone's life one day.

　　Best regards!

　　Yours_sincerely，
