　　、阅读理解（本大题共5小题，共0分）

　　A

　　We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. while I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors."

　　"Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"

　　Mum just pushed harder, each swipe (拖一下) of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.

　　After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."

　　Outside, Mum told me "Dagmar is fine. No fever."

　　"You saw her, Mum?"

　　"Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."

　　1. When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was______.

　　A.to clean the floor

　　B.to please the nurse

　　C.to see a patient

　　D.to surprise the story-teller

　　2. When the nurse talked to Mum she thought Mum was a ______.

　　A. nurse

　　B. vistor

　　C. patient

　　D. cleanr

　　3. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital?

　　A. It is a children's hospital.

　　B. It has strict rules about visting hours.

　　C. The conditions there aren't very good.

　　D. The nurses and doctors there don't work hard.

　　4. From the text we know that Dagmar is most likely______.

　　A.the story-teller's sister

　　B.the story-teller's classmate

　　C. Mum's friend

　　D. Dad's boss

　　5. Which of the following words best describes Mum?

　　A.strange

　　B.warm-hearted

　　C.clever

　　D.hard-working

　　【答案解析】

　　1.【分析】这是一道推理判断题。这只能通过妈妈谈话的信息中得到答案。Mum told me "Dagmer is fine, No fever"说明妈妈拖地的真正目的不是别的，正是要探视病人。故答案为C。此题难度适中，通过率为53％。

　　2.【分析】这也是一道推断题。通过第二自然段可以推测出这位护士一定认为Mom是清洁工，所以没有拦妈妈，故该题最佳答案是D。

　　3.【分析】这还是一道推理判断题。近几年对于细节题的理解较少，更多侧重在推断题。正是由于医院有着严格的探视制度，妈妈才扮成清洁工，故B为本题最佳答案。

　　4.【分析】这是一道细节题。从文中“You saw her，Mum？”和“…Dad will stop worrying as well…”的这组对话中，可以推断出，病人是作者的妹妹。故正确答案为A。

　　5.【分析】这是一道推断题。从文中得知妈妈成功地在非探视时间探视了病人。说明妈妈很聪明。故C为该题的最佳答案。

　　B

　　B

　　Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books to read”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?

　　Now you have a list to end all lists!

　　Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：

　　Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?

　　Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and pushing around them in the water. Worse yet,

　　when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．

　　Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening their mouths.

　　Go to See the Mona Lisa?

　　There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.

　　If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.

　　So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www.not2dobeforeidie.co.uk and buy the book at a 20% discount.

　　60. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.

　　A. is the world's most popular tourist activity

　　B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins

　　C. will make tourists busy and tired

　　D. can cause danger to dolphins

　　61. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?

　　A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.

　　B. It is not as satisfying as expected.

　　C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.

　　D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.

　　62. The list of “101 things not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.

　　A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists

　　B. believes other lists are not humorous enough

　　C. intends to persuade people to read more lists

　　D．wants to provide a list different from other lists

　　63. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　A. To advertise a book.

　　B. To introduce a website.

　　C. To comment on popular

　　lists.

　　D. To recommend tourist activities.

　　【答案解析】【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。

　　60. D　细节理解题。从Swim with Dolphins下面材料中的第一段最后一句可知和海豚一起游泳会给海豚带来危险。

　　61. B　细节理解题。在Go to See the Mona Lisa的材料中，作者反复论证了go to see the Mona Lisa的诸多弊端，每年大量的游客前往参观，个人不可能有预想的观赏效果。

　　62. D　推理判断题。该文采取先抑后扬的写作技巧，其目的是要提出不同的观点。

　　63. A　写作意图题。该篇材料最后点出写作目的，即为101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die打广告。
