主题语境:自救经历

My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back — the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so,this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five or six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back towards the forest,before returning for another attack — the first time I felt panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。讲述了作者一家被熊袭击自救的具体过程,告诉我们在遇到危险时,要保持冷静的头脑思考问题,遇事不要慌张。

解析推理判断题。根据文章第二、三段中“This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.”和“I held my camera tripod in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.”可知熊靠近我们就是为了向我们发起攻击。故选B项。

2.The bear finally went away after it 　　　. 

A.felt safe B.got injured

C.found some food D.took away the camera

答案A

解析推理判断题。文章最后一段第一句“Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.”可知它突然离开是因为它知道我们对它没有威胁,它很安全,故选A项。

3.The writer and his family survived mainly due to their　　　.

主题语境:个人经历

The weather was bad during the latter days of the voyage.A northwest wind was blowing all the time.The Rangoon sailed slowly.The captain thought that she would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind time.

Phileas Fogg stared at rough sea with his habitual calm.He never changed his expression for an instant,though a delay (延迟) of twenty hours,by making him too late for the Yokohama boat—Carnatic.But this man showed neither impatience nor anger,it seemed as if the storm were a part of his programme.

Fix,a detective who had been searching for a bank robber (抢劫犯),viewed the state of things differently.The storm greatly pleased him.Each delay filled him with hope that Fogg had to spend some days in Hong Kong.The weather helped him.Though he felt sea-sick,his spirit was full of great happiness.

Passepartout,Mr.Fogg’s servant,was angry beyond expression about the bad weather.Everything had gone so well till now!Did the bad things come?Passepartout was very worried about his master’s bet.He wanted to know exactly how long the storm was going to last.The sailors advised him to refer to the barometer(晴雨表).He shook it,but with no effect.It seemed to have no desire to rise.

On the 4th,the sea became calm.Passepartout cheered up!The sails were spread,and the Rangoon sailed at her full speed.The time lost could not,however,be gained again.Carnatic would,of course,be missed.

At six o’clock on the morning of the 6th,the pilot went on board and guided the Rangoon through the channels to the port of Hong Kong.Passepartout still wanted to ask him if Carnatic had left for Yokohama;but he dared not.Mr.Fogg,however,did not hesitate to approach the pilot.

“Do you know when a ship will leave for Yokohama?”

“At high tide tomorrow morning,”answered the pilot.

“What is the ship’s name?”

“The ‘Carnatic’”.

“Ought she not to have gone yesterday?”

“Yes,sir,but one of her boilers(锅炉)needs repairing.”

Mr. Fogg looked calm as usual,but Passepartout held the pilot’s hand firmly,“Pilot,you are the best!”

【语篇解读】这是一篇小说节选片段。节选于《八十天环游地球》。文章描述了由于天气原因,轮船Rangoon前进缓慢。船上不同的人有不同的心情。

4.Fix was greatly satisfied with the storm because　　　. 

A.the experience in the storm made him pleased mentally

B.the delay provided him with more days to look into Fogg

C.it wasn’t likely that the bank robber got in touch with Fogg

D.he was used to looking at things from different points of view

答案B

解析细节理解题。由第三段中的“Each delay filled him with hope that Fogg had to spend some days in Hong Kong.The weather helped him.”可知,每一次延迟都让Fix感到有希望让Fogg在香港多待几天。这天气帮助了他,也就是说延迟能提供给他更多的时间来调查Fogg。故选B项。

5.According to paragraph 4,a barometer　　　. 

A.fails to work in a storm 

B.rises with a sudden shake

C.makes a storm last longer 

D.shows a change in the weather

答案D

解析推理判断题。根据barometer将答案定位在第四段内。由第四段中的“He wanted to know exactly how long the storm was going to last.”可知,由于Fogg的仆人想确切地知道暴风雨还将持续多久,所以船长让他去看晴雨表。可以推知晴雨表可以显示天气的变化。故选D项。

6.Why could Phileas Fogg and his servant catch Carnatic finally?

A.There was something wrong with a boiler of Carnatic.

B.The pilot had arranged for Carnatic to wait for them.

C.They took the storm and the delay into consideration.

D.The weather turned fine and they arrived in advance.

答案A

解析细节理解题。由文中的对话“Ought she not to have gone yesterday?”“Yes,sir,but one of her boilers needs repairing.”可知,Carnatic本来是昨天要去横滨的,但是一个锅炉坏了需要修,所以推迟到了明天。故选A项。

7.When Passepartout spoke highly of him,the pilot was most likely to feel 　　　. 

A.happy B.anxious

C.puzzled D.angry

答案C

解析推理判断题。根据故事情节,Mr.Fogg一直很担心天气的变化会影响到他们去横滨的船,最后得知船还没有离开,不会延误时特别激动。所以当他对船长说“Pilot,you are the best!”时船长肯定很疑惑,Carnatic是由于锅炉坏了没有离开,跟他有什么关系呢?故选C项。
