　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2017·山东省日照市联考)

　　At least 3 people are dead in the Philippines now that Typhoon Hagupit has landed.

　　The typhoon, which hit the eastern Philippines over the weekend, has blown down trees and sent more than 650­thousand people into shelters before weakening.

　　“There were very strong winds last night. The roof was beginning to move, and rain was getting inside the room，” said a villager.

　　The storm hit with gusts(强风) of over 100­miles per hour.

　　And while the storm has slowed considerably, from the Super Typhoon level it had last week, Hagupit still remains strong enough to create more damage.

　　Christopher Perez is a local weather forecaster.

　　“We are continuing to expect bad weather and rough ocean waves. Threats of possible flash floods and landslides(泥石流) as well as possible storm waves occurring in coastal areas.”

　　Hagupit is expected to roll into the South China Sea tomorrow.

　　It's currently going a westward toward the southern tip of Vietnam, meaning it's unlikely to affect China.

　　Hagupit's strength in the Philippines is much less severe than Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled through the country last year.

　　Haiyan's tsunami­like storm waves and killer winds left thousands of people dead and leveled_entire_villages.

　　The central Philippines is still trying to recover from last year's massive storm.

　　1．It can be inferred from the passage that the Typhoon Hagupit is ________.

　　A．getting stronger

　　B．weakening

　　C．going to affect China soon

　　D．more destructive than Haiyan

　　2．The under lined part “leveled entire villages”probably means ________.

　　A．destroyed all the buildings in the villages

　　B．were of the same sea level as the villages

　　C．killed all the villagers in the villages

　　D．blown down all the trees in the villages

　　3．Which of the following suffered most when Haiyan rolled over?

　　B．The southern tip of Vietnam.

　　C．The South China Sea.

　　D．The central Philippines.

　　4．What do we know about Haiyan from the news?

　　A．It caused less severe damage than Hagupit.

　　B．It also rolled over Vietnam and China.

　　C．It brought about a lot of deaths.

　　D．It damaged the roofs of all the houses.

　　答案与解析

　　1．B　推理判断题。由第二段before weakening 以及第五段slowed considerably, from the Super Typhoon level 可知，台风的强度在变弱。

　　2．A　词义猜测题。海燕“造成了上千人死亡，将整个村庄夷为平地”，因此推断为摧毁了所有房屋。

　　3．D　细节理解题。从文章最后一句可知，菲律宾中部仍然处在从去年的巨大损失的恢复过程中，因此推断为中部地区受灾最为严重。

　　4．C　推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段看，台风海燕造成了数千人死亡。

　　答案与解析

　　这是一篇说明文。人们总是对经常做的事情感到厌倦，小孩子对待玩具如此，成年人对待工作和自己所做的事情也不例外。

　　1．A　第一句所提到的人们对经常做的事情会感到厌倦，这是一种法则，而不是一种习惯、方式或力量。principle 意为“法则，原则”； habit 意为“习惯”； way 意为“方法”； power 意为“力量”。

　　2．D　由下文提到的 children, young adults, adults 以及 people retire 可知，此处用 ages 表示“各个年龄段的人”。

　　3．C　由空后的 with their new toys 可知此处用 playing 表示“玩他们的新玩具”。

　　4．B　由下文“玩具被放在地下室”可知此处句意为“但是他们的兴趣很快就消失了”，故用 interest。

　　5．A　此处的玩具指的是上一句中提到的 their new toys，故用 same 表示“他们那些相同的玩具被放在了地下室”。

　　6．D　由空后的 and unfinished models 可推知此处应选择 half­filled(装满一半的)与 unfinished 相呼应。

　　7．B　既然这些集邮只完成一半、模型没有完成，说明他们的这些兴趣爱好已经成为过去，故用 passing 表示“过去的兴趣爱好”。

　　8．C　由句意“当父母把一只宠物带回家时，他们的孩子会高兴地为它洗澡、梳理毛发”可知答案为 gladly。

　　9．B　由空后的 of caring for the animal 可知，此处用 burden 表示“照顾宠物的担子落到了父母的肩上”。

　　10．D　由空后的转折词 but 可推知，当青少年刚进入中学时，是非常激动的，故用 excitement。

　　11．A　此处用 graduation 表示“但是不久就盼着毕业了”。

　　12．C　由空后的 the long drives to work 可知，此处讲述的是成年人，故选C项。

　　13．B　由空前的 complain 和空后的 drove for hours at a time 可知此次应用 eagerly 表示“渴望一次开车几个小时”。

　　14．B　require 意为“需要”；obtain 意为“获得”；notice 意为“注意到”； discover 意为“发现”。此处用 obtained 表示“当他们最初获得驾照的时候”。

　　15．D　由空前的时间状语 Before people retire 可知，此处应用 plan 表示“在人们退休前应先做计划”。

　　16．A　既然是打算退休后做的事情，当然是很棒的事情。故用 great。

　　17．A　由空后的 while working 可知，此处用 time 表示“当他们上班的时候没有时间做的事情”。

　　18．D　由空后的 after 可知此处用 soon，表示“在退休后不久”。词组 soon after 意为“……后不久”。

　　19．C　由该句开头的 retirement 可知，此处用 left 表示“他们离开的工作”。

　　20．B　由空前的 like the child in January 可知，此次应选择 toys 与 the child 相呼应。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空
