　　[故事型阅读理解

　　The 30 miles of steep(陡峭的)roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia, fouryearold son Baylor, and nineyearold neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.

　　The weather was fine?but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.

　　There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. ?It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater，” remembers Andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “You're thinking, is this how it's all going to end？”

　　Having lost the sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn't find her. “I thought, if I don't get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, ?Who else is in the car？” Andersen says respectfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”

　　1. What might be the main reason for the car accident?

　　A. The sharp Uturn.

　　B. The steep dam.

　　C. The sudden brake.

　　D. A truck hitting the car.

　　2. Andersen didn't expect any trouble on the road because ________.

　　A. he was familiar with the road

　　B. he was good at driving

　　C. his hands didn't have sweat

　　D. the weather was fine

　　3. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

　　A. Andersen lost conciousness in the water.

　　B. Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.

　　C. Andersen liked Mia most among the children.

　　D. Strangers teamed together to save the three children.

　　4. The underlined sentence is to express Andersen's feeling of being________.

　　A. tired

　　B. excited

　　C. doubtful

　　D. grateful

　　5. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

　　A. Stay Calm When in Trouble

　　B. Drive Rounding a Uturn

　　C. Miracle Rescue from an Icy River

　　D. Mystery of the Bear River Mountains

　　(二)

　　【要点综述】 本文主要介绍了Andersen开车带三个孩子上盘山公路时遭遇车祸而死里逃生的故事。

　　1．C　细节理解题。由第二段第二句“Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes.”可知是急刹车导致了这一次事故。

　　2．A　细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.”可知，Andersen在Canyon山路上开了成百上千次车，由此可知，他应该是对这条路非常熟悉。

　　3．D　推理判断题。由最后一段最后几句“That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children…”可知，一些陌生人一起努力协作救了三个孩子。

　　4．D　推理判断题。由最后一句话中Andersen把他们比喻成天使可知，他是心存感激的。

　　5．C　主旨大意题。综观全文可知，本文主要讲述了在一个结冰的日子，陌生人结队拯救车祸中的三个孩子的故事，故C项为最佳选项。

　　高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项----A

　　I’ve written 14 movies．My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous（有魅力的） doing it．Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker．It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll．

　　Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right．The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders．I put all these views into my plays．

　　Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself．I have been an accomplice (帮凶) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings．I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God．Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did．

　　Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking．I am alive but disabled．Much of my larynx (喉) is gone．I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me．

　　I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help．I believe in prayer and exercise．I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day．Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted．

　　I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore．I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin（海洛因）．I’m no longer such a bad boy．I go to church on Sunday．I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up．I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images．

　　Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene．

　　My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s．My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse（彻底清洁） me．I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others．

　　The main idea of this passage probably is _________．

　　B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself

　　DHis screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings．

　　BHe will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking．
