二.阅读理解

    It was a rainy day. I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter Carolyn's house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the peak of the mountain.

    So here I was, although unwilling to make the two-hour journey through mist and rain. After lunch, my daughter requested me to drive her to Barage. After a ten-minute drive, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that was thick with old pine needles. Huge black green evergreens towered over us. Gradually the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind. Then we turned a comer and stopped—and I gasped in amazement.

    From the peak of the mountain to the slopes and valleys were rivers of daffodils(水仙)in full bloom. A sea of amazing colors, was like a carpet before us. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled gold down the mountainside. At the center hung a waterfall of purple hyacinths. Here and there were breathtaking tulips.

    So many questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?

    As we approached home, we saw a sign that  read "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking." The first answer was: "One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain." The second was: "One at a Time." The third: "Started in 1958."

    I was so moved by what we had seen. "She changed the world," I said, not getting over the shock. "One bulb (球茎)at a time. She started almost 40 years ago. It was probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it."

    "Imagine," I added, "if I had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?"

    Carolyn looked sideways at me, smiling. "Start tomorrow," she said, "better yet, start today."

(1).What does the underlined word "hyacinths" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to?

A.A kind of flower. B.Famous waterfalls. C.Mountain springs. D.The name of a place.

(2).What did the author learn from the sign?

A.Easier said than done.  B.Well begun, half done.

C.Women can shake the world. D.Little steps add up to big success.

(3).What is the best title of the passage?

A.An Amazing Trip to Barage B.A Moving Story of a Mother's Love

C.A Special Sign on the Way Home D.A Valuable Lesson From a Woman

解析：

6.答案：Thunder

解析：

7.答案：bunch

解析：

8.答案：border

解析：

9.答案：drilling

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:同样的原理也被用于一种油田的钻探方法。所填词作介词of的宾语,因此应该用动名词形式。

10.答案：Seen

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:从山顶上看,这所学校看起来像一个大花园。see 与句子主语the school之间是被动关系,因此应该用过去分词。

11.答案：literally

解析：考查副词。句意:我从字面上理解他说的话,但他实际上另有所指。所填词修饰动词took,因此应该是副词。

12.答案：confirming

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意:这是一条自动回复,确认您的电子邮件已收到。因为前面已经有谓语动词,所以此处应该用非谓语动词,confirm与其逻辑主语reply之间为主动关系,所以应该用现在分词。

13.答案：peaks

解析：考查名词单复数。句意:山顶终年积雪。所填词作主语,根据谓语动词可知,应该用名词复数。

14.答案：pleasant/pleasing

解析：考查词性转换。句意:艾丽斯很高兴发现她脾气这么好。所填词作定语,修饰temper,由此可知应填pleasant或pleasing,表示“令人愉快的”。

15.答案：All in all

解析：

二.答案：(1)-(3)ADD
解析：(1).词义猜测题。文章第三段描述的内容是:从山顶到山坡和山谷,都是盛开的水仙花,中间挂着一条紫色的风信子瀑布,到处都是令人叹为观止的郁金香。由此可知hyacinths应该指的是一种花。故选A项。
(2).细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Imagine,” I added, “if I had a vision and worked at it, just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”可知,作者的感触是:成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。
(3).主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者通过自己的一次野外经历从一位女士身上受到启发——成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。

三.答案：①-⑤sights ; to take; a; was; drilling
⑥-⑩ where; eventually; thundered; that; their
解析：①考查名词单复数。sight在此处意为“风景”,常用复数形式。

②考查非谓语动词。两个女孩早早起床的目的是赶火车,应用不定式短语作目的状语。

③考查冠词。coach 是可数名词,在文中第一次出现,表泛指,因此用不定冠词a。

④考查时态及主谓一致。“one of+复数名词”作主语,谓语动词用单数。结合文章语境可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填was。

⑤考查非谓语动词。此处表示石油和天然气钻探工业,因此应该用动名词,说明被修饰名词的用途,与前面的oil and gas一起作定语,修饰industry。

⑥考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是provinces,从句中缺少地点状语,因此用where。

⑦考查副词。设空处作状语,修饰其后整个句子,因此应该用副词。

⑧考查时态。根据文章语境可知,此处应该用一般过去时表示过去发生的动作,故填thundered。

⑨考查强调句型。“It was...that...”是强调句型,被强调部分是not until 9:30 a.m.。

⑩考查代词。设空处作定语,因此应该用形容词性物主代词,修饰trip,故填their。
