　　二、阅读理解

　　(2015·湖南卷)

　　Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire house, garage, and yard inspected at any time—with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on the results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keepers sometimes had advance notice.

　　Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags noting the inspector was aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last­minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust.

　　Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth, and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. He never did.

　　One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. “He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight，” Glenn later wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.

　　语篇解读　本文主要讲述了灯塔巡视员对灯塔的巡视，以及灯塔看守人一家应对巡视的几种搞笑手段。

　　1．What does Paragraph 1 tell us about the inspection at the light station?

　　A. It was carried out once a year.

　　B. It was often announced in advance.

　　C. It was important for the keeper's fame.

　　D. It was focused on the garage and yard.

　　答案与解析　C　考查细节理解。根据文章第一段第三句“Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on the results”可知，巡视员的检查结果与灯塔看守人的名誉有关。

　　2．The family began making preparations immediately after ________.

　　A. one of the members saw the boat

　　B. a warning call reached the lighthouse

　　C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap

　　D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance

　　答案与解析　A　考查细节理解。根据文章第二段第三句“As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last­minute tidying and change into fancy clothes”可得出答案。

　　3．Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ________.

　　A. result in some fun

　　B. speed up washing them

　　C. make her home look tidy

　　D. be a demand from the inspector

　　答案与解析　C　考查细节理解。根据文章第三段第四句“In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth, and stuck them in the oven”可知，Byrnes太太将盘子放到烤炉中的目的是让她的房子看起来整洁。

　　4．If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen ________.

　　A. an empty pan

　　B. many clean dishes

　　C. pieces of baked bread

　　D. a cloth covering something

　　答案与解析　D　考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth, and stuck them in the oven”和“If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking”可得出答案。

　　5．The inspector waved his arms ________.

　　A. to try his best to keep steady

　　B. to show his satisfaction with the floor

　　C. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's mother

　　D. to express his intention to continue the inspection

　　答案与解析　A　考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段最后三句的内容可知，巡视员挥舞手臂是为了保持平衡。
