　　四、阅读理解

　　Alone in the wilderness.Nothing but jungle.A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees.Jungle in the midday sun.Everything motionless.Not a sound from sky or earth.Complete silence.Only some coconuts falling,at long intervals,very far away.The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back,and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation.Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood,I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.

　　Resting motionless,I could see the sun through my closed eyelids,alone in the sky,as lonely as I,and as motionless and silent as everything else.The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets.What a crazy,unbelievable thought!

　　Another coconut fell,to make the world come to a complete standstill.I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises.Then I found company.A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose.I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden,but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs,head first or head last,waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started.Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness,disagreeable tiredness,is restricted to hunted animals,slaves and modern man.It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded briefcase as it is for a jungle dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back.It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months.The body is strange.Spare it,and you get really tired for almost nothing;use it,and almost nothing makes you really tired.

　　I rose to my feet.I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley.Above me,on the open highland plains,there were wild horses.But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it.Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.

　　1.The author mentions coconuts’ falling to　. 

　　A.show his loneliness

　　B.add beauty to the jungle

　　C.stress the absolute silence

　　D.express his love of nature

　　2.What’s the right order of the following events?

　　a.I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.

　　b.I went to the jungle.

　　c.I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.

　　d.I lay on the ground to have a break.

　　e.I picked fruits and chopped firewood.

　　A.b,c,e,a,d B.e,c,b,d,a C.e,d,c,b,a D.b,e,d,c,a

　　3.How does the author feel about the ant?

　　A.He was amazed at its tireless efforts.

　　B.He admired its attitude toward work.

　　C.He showed sympathy for the little ant.

　　D.He was content to have it as a companion.

　　4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably　. 

　　A.make his way home

　　B.talk to the man on the horse

　　C.work harder than before

　　D.stay in the valley

　　5.We can learn from the passage that the author　. 

　　A.enjoyed being alone

　　B.missed his busy life in the city

　　C.experienced a world of quietness

　　D.had an unforgettable adventure

　　一、单句填空

　　1.punctual　句意:——火车什么时候到达?——七点半,但是在这样的大雾天气我们无法保证按时到达。考查形容词。punctual adj.准时的。

　　2.running　run out有“用完,耗尽,过期”的意思,常和time连用,表示时间耗尽。由句意可知此处应用现在进行时。

　　3.get　句意:当街上满是融化的雪时,你的鞋子肯定会被弄湿。 考查can’t help but结构。can’t help but后常跟不带to的不定式,表示“不得不,不能不”。

　　4.complained　句意:他向我抱怨他去那里旅行时天气不好,从这里我猜想他的旅程一定非常不愉快。考查动词。 complain动词,意为“抱怨”;complaint为名词“抱怨”,complain to sb.about sth.意为“向某人诉说某事;向某人抱怨某事”。

　　5.with　句意:本次会议是关于改革的,在场的每个人都关心他们自己的利益。考查动词搭配。be concerned with“与……有关,涉及”。

　　6.to meet　句意:如果他接受这项工作的话,除了要面对更大的挑战外他别无选择。have no choice but to do sth.别无选择只好做某事。

　　7.to operate　句意:这台机器很容易操作,任何人在几分钟之内就能学会使用它。考查be+adj.(表示难易等)+to do。又如:The problem is difficult to work out.这个问题很难解决。

　　8.urgent　句意:由于事情非常紧急,所以我们马上就进行了处理。考查形容词。系动词was后跟形容词作表语。urgent紧急的,紧迫的。

　　9.Caught;ask　句意:由于淋了大雨,老师生病了,不得不请假。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知第一个空是非谓语动词作状语表原因。根据固定搭配be caught in可知答案。第二个空考查固定句式:can’t/couldn’t help but do sth.,意为:不得不做某事。

　　10.off　句意:他住院半年了,觉得自己好像与外界隔绝了一样。考查动词短语。cut off from使与……隔绝,符合语境。

　　二、语法填空

　　[语篇解读]　本文为议论文。本文论述了电脑教育的必要性,在校学生学习一些基本的电脑知识尤为重要。

　　1.in　考查介词。play...roles in是固定搭配,表示“在……中起作用”的意思。

　　2.is affected　考查动词的时态和语态。现代生活的各个方面都受到电脑的影响。根据句意可知,此处应用一般现在时的被动语态。

　　3.especially　考查副词。句意:电脑教育对学生来说尤为重要。本句中的key为形容词,故填入一个副词来修饰这个形容词。误解分析:考生可能误以为此处的key是名词,而填入形容词especial或special。

　　4.to conduct　考查非谓语动词。be expected to do sth.表示“有望做某事;被期待做某事”,故用动词不定式形式。

　　5.weak　考查形容词。此处把两种能力进行同级比较,根据Weak information literacy skills可知,此处也需填入形容词weak。

　　6.and　考查连词。本句是并列句,故用and连接两个并列分句。

　　7.an　考查冠词。用电子邮件进行交流也是办公室工作标准之一。此处表泛指,office以元音音素开头,故填入不定冠词an。

　　8.manage　考查动词。动词learn的用法:learn to do sth.“学会做某事”,故此处应填入其动词形式。

　　9.requirements　考查名词。中学都有自己的计算机知识培训和毕业条件。此处应填入其名词形式。

　　10.positions　考查名词复数。他们的毕业生需要基本的电脑知识和软件操作技能,以便有资格担任一些岗位的工作。此处应填入名词的复数形式。

　　三、完形填空

　　1.A　根据上文可知作者大病初愈,恰好收到来自奥兰多的邀请,家人劝他正好遵照医嘱顺便去度假休息。A:假期;B:仪式;C:手术;D:实验。根据句意故选A。

　　2.B　下一段说到达Sunshine State很累人,故此处说明作者离开家,踏上行程,选B。

　　3.C　根据句意可知,作者到了目的地后,叫到一辆出租车去旅馆住了下来。A:打算;B:许诺;C:设法做成;D:应受,该得。

　　4.D　根据settle in推断设空处与住处有关。A:医院;B:公司;C:大学;D:住处,故选D。

　　5.D　上句提到了乘坐出租车,本句使用了another,可推知又叫了一辆出租车去购物中心买纪念品。故选D。A:同事;B:乘客;C:手提箱;D:出租车。

　　6.C　作者先去购物,后来又去咖啡馆吃午饭。A:反而,却;B:首先;C:后来;D:曾经,根据语境可知C项正确。

　　9.A　根据下文...I’m retired and it would...可知这位女士已经退休,年龄应该很大了,故使用old合适。B:贫穷的;C:无辜的;D:顽固的。

　　10.B　根据文章可知,这位女士愿意和作者共用一张餐桌,当然是“饭”快吃完了的时候。A:旅行;B:膳食;C:演讲;D:采访。

　　11.C　作者刚到这里,还没租辆车,故选C。

　　12.D　根据语境应该是作者不了解乘出租车有多贵。

　　13.D　根据语境可知这位女士愿意开车载他去他希望去的任何地方,故D项正确。

　　四、阅读理解

　　[语篇解读]　“我”走进丛林中,劳动后躺在地上充分享受了周围环境的那份出奇的安静,同时“我”也被一只小蚂蚁给感动了。

　　1.C　细节理解题。根据第一段的Only some coconuts falling可知:前文列举了几个例子说明周围很安静,偶尔从远处树上落下的坚果的声音都能听到,这更加衬托了那份安静感,故选C项。

　　2.D　细节理解题。本文描述的是“我”在丛林里的活动和感受:首先应该是走进丛林(b),排除B、C两项。根据最后一段的had heard a horse neighing down in the valley可知最后一件事是听到了山谷中的马叫声(a),所以正确的顺序是D项:走进丛林——采摘野果和砍柴——躺在地上休息——看到了运干草的蚂蚁——听到了山谷里的马叫声。

　　3.B　推理判断题。文章第三段描写“我”看到了蚂蚁坚忍不拔和不知疲倦地工作,因此推断出作者非常敬佩蚂蚁对待工作的态度,故选B项。

　　4.A　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“有人沿着山谷上来了,我妻子还自己一个人在家”可以推断出“我”要收拾一下回家了,故选A项。

　　5.C　主旨大意题。本文自始至终都是在突出一个主题:大自然丛林中难得的那份安静。故选C项。
