　　训练(四十一)

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　More than 100 horses and riders leaped the flames of roaring bonfires Thursday in a small Spanish town in a centuries­old festival that has raised the anger of animal rights activists.

　　Smoke and flames filled the night in San Bartolome de Pinares，a central Spanish town of some 600 inhabitants，in the annual festival held Thursday，the eve of Saint Anthony’s Day for the patron saint (守护神) of animals.One by one，horses and their riders jumped the flames in the narrow，paved streets of the town.

　　“No one knows how old the tradition is.My grandfather told me that his great­grandfather took part，” said 34­year­old Diego Martin.“They say it could be 300 or 400 years old.”

　　The town is fiercely attached to the festival，despite opposition from animal rights groups concerned about the safety of the horses.Just a few days earlier，Spain’s National Association for the Welfare of Animals asked the town’s people not to let their horses leap over the fires，apparently in vain.

　　“There was an illness that killed all the horses in the town.Since then，we have done this to purify them to keep away any evil by asking for the protection of the saint，” explained 20­year­old Libertad Gomez，who has been taking part for seven years.“More than a tradition，for us it is a feeling.It is something you live almost since you were born，” said Libertad，who rode with dozens of others through the streets.

　　gkxx.comIndeed，the smoke is so thick that it affects the horse and rider as they leap the fires.That does not stop youngsters from taking part in a tradition，such as 10­year­old Alejandro Nunez，who jumped for the second year running on a white horse.“I really like it.At first，it was a bit scary but that goes，” he said，equipped with a helmet and a checkered scarf to protect him from the smoke.

　　For more than six million American children，coming home after school means coming to an empty house.1.

　　Some may hide.But all of them have something in common.They spend part of each day alone.They are called latchkey children.They are children who look after themselves while their parents work.2.

　　Lynette Long was once the headmaster of an elementary school.She said，“We had a school rule against wearing jewelry.A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached.I was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts.There were so many keys.It never came to my mind what they meant.”3.

　　She and her husband began talking to the children who had them.They learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children.4.

　　One in every three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared.Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

　　The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding.5.

　　The second is TV.They’ll often play it at high volume.It’s hard to get statistics (情况) on latchkey children，the Longs learned.Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

　　【解题导语】　本题考查学生对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。文章讲述的是在美国特别常见的一种儿童：自带钥匙的儿童。自带钥匙的儿童是父母双方均在外工作的孩子，他们必须得照顾自己，从学校回来面对空落落的房子，该学校的校规禁止学生佩戴任何挂饰，由此引起了班主任Lynette Long的关注，并且针对这些孩子进行了调查。

　　1．解析：选D。前句介绍的是在美国超过六百万的儿童从学校回到家中意味着独自面对虚无一人的空房子；后文说一些儿童会把这种情况隐藏起来，可推断另外一些孩子不会介意。故选A。

　　2．解析：选F。前文讲述这些自带钥匙的孩子有一些共性——在父母工作的时候必须照顾自己；下文是班主任Lynette Long所在的这所学校禁止任何学生佩戴挂饰，因此自带钥匙的学生违反了校规。所以推出佩戴钥匙成为这些孩子的一些担忧。故选F。

　　3．解析：选A。前文“It never came to my mind what they meant.”；下文讲述Lynette Long针对这些孩子进行了调查。故推出Lynette Long慢慢地了解这些钥匙背后的含义。故选A。

　　4．解析：选C。考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力前文讲述Lynette Long夫妇了解到父母双方均在外工作以及单亲父母的孩子给孩子造成的影响；下文“One in every three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scared.”可知，恐惧是其中一个主要问题。故选C。

　　5．解析：选G。前句讲述这些孩子处理恐怖最常见的办法是躲藏；下文讲述了两种躲藏的办法。故此处是其中一种方法：可能是在沐浴室，被子里或者壁橱里。故选G。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　It was a city in Hubei Province.On International Children’s Day，some orphans (孤儿) from the Wuhan Welfare Institute for Children 1.

　　(take) to the park.An elderly westerner was with them.The children were eager to tell him everything that was going on.They held him by the hand and never hesitated to call 2.

　　Grandpa.This man was Professor William Dorrity，from Florida，USA.In 2003，3.

　　Professor Dorrity and his wife retired，they came to Wuhan and started to work as volunteers at the Welfare Institute.

　　The Dorritys have been working hard 4.

　　(improve) the conditions at the Welfare Institute since they came.They often take children on day trips，5.

　　(bring) along with them all kinds of food for the kids to enjoy.They recently bought audiphones for four orphans 6.

　　hearing problems and small tape recorders for three blind children.They also bought a wheelchair for ten­year­old Tan Jun，7.

　　suffers from a brain problem.With the 8.

　　(arrive) of spring，the Dorritys took the children for 9.

　　outing.“We love China and we love children，” Dorrity said，“10.

　　we are happy to do this.”

　　答案：

　　1．were taken。考查被动语态。此句缺谓语动词，与主语some orphans构成动宾关系，全文主要使用一般过去时，所以应填were taken。

　　2．him。考查人称代词。叫他Grandpa，用宾格him。

　　3．when/after。考查连词。句意：他们2003年退休之后，就来到了武汉福利院做义工。

　　4．to improve。考查不定式作目的状语。自从他们到来，他们夫妇一直努力地改善福利院的条件。

　　5．bringing。考查现在分词作伴随状语。此处用动词bring的现在分词形式bringing，表示动词bring和主语They是主动关系，并作伴随状语。

　　6．with。考查介词。with hearing problems“有听力问题”。

　　7．who。考查关系代词。此处为非限制性定语从句，先行词为Tan Jun，此空在非限制性定语从句中作主语，故用关系代词who。

　　8．arrival。考查词性转换。定冠词the和介词of之间，应用arrive的名词形式arrival，the arrival of spring“春天的到来”。

　　9．an。考查不定冠词。outing意为“外出游玩”，是可数名词，在文中第一次提到，并且是以元音音素开头，故要用不定冠词an。

　　10．and/so。考查连词。Dorrity说的前一分句“We love China and we love children，”和后一分句应用连词连接起来，根据句意可填and表并列或so表因果。
