A

A Narrow Escape

Shortly after the war，my brother and I were invited to spend a few days' holiday with an uncle who had just returned from abroad.He had rented (租)a cottage in the country，although he hardly spent much time there.We understood the reason for this after our arrival：the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it.Many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked (漏水)，making the whole house wet.

On our first evening，we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries.I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed，but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting stories.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash (碰撞声)from the bedroom above，the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.

When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door，a strange sight met our eyes.A large part of the ceiling had fallen right onto the pillow (枕头)of my bed.

【语篇解读】　本文讲述了作者和他的哥哥受邀到叔叔租的乡间小屋度假。他们的卧室天花板坍塌，砸到了作者的枕头。但幸运的是，他们因想听叔叔讲故事而没有待在卧室里，从而逃过一劫。

1．Why did the uncle dislike the rented cottage?

A．There were no beds in it.

B．It was too old for him to live in.

C．The windows were broken and the roof leaked.

D．It was very rainy in the area.

C　[细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句可知，因为乡间小屋里面没有舒适的家具，而且许多窗户都破了，屋顶还漏水，使得整个房子很潮湿。所以叔叔不喜欢住他租住的小屋。故选C项。]

2．On the first evening，the writer was very sleepy，________．

A．but he did his best not to miss any stories

B．so he had to go to bed early

C．because he was tired of his uncle's stories

D．and he was gradually falling asleep while listening

A　[细节理解题。根据第二段第二句I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed，but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle's exciting stories.可知，尽管“我”在长途火车旅行后累得想睡觉，但“我”不想错过叔叔讲的任何一个激动人心的故事。故选A项。]

3．The writer was attentively (专心地)listening to a story________．

A．which his uncle read in a book

B．when he heard a loud crash from the bedroom

C．when his brother cried for being afraid

D．which was very funny

B　[细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash (碰撞声)from the bedroom above...可知，作者在听故事时，突然听到卧室里传来了巨大的碰撞声。故选B项。]

B

Some of the greatest problems  we face today are the destruction(破坏)of our environment.Brown clouds，polluted water，endangered wild animals...，these problems seem so huge.

So my family do what we can.We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags.We walk where we don't have to drive.

But does it do any good？When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags，am I doing any good？Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鸟)which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more.Every year when the time comes for migration，a few of them first take off from the lake.But none of the others seem to notice，so the small group returns.However，the next day they try again.This time a few more fly along with them，but most of them still pay no attention，so they return again.They try for several times.Every time a few more birds join in but，since the thousands of others still take no notice，the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes.The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before，then more.Finally，they all take flight and the migration really begins.What a spectacular sight it must be—thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once！A few can make a difference.Even if you're the one to take the first step，and continue trying，others will someday take notice  and  together  we  will  solve  even  our  greatest problems.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇议论文。主要论述了作者对于现在环境存在的问题提出了一些担忧以及自己和家人保护环境的行为，呼吁人们要从小事做起保护环境。

4．Why does the writer use cloth bags in stores?

A．There are only cloth bags in stores.

B．All the people use cloth bags in stores.

C．He thinks plastic bags are more expensive.

D．He wants to do some good to the environment.

D　[细节理解题。根据第一段中Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction(破坏)of our environment.(我们当今面临的最大问题中的一部分是环境破坏。)和第二段中So my family do what we can.We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags.(所以我一家人都做一些力所能及的事情，我们去商店带布包而不是用塑料袋。)可知，作者带布包是想为保护环境做一些事情。故选D项。]

5．What  does  the  underlined  word  “spectacular” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Disappointing. B．Fantastic.

C．Terrible.     D．Embarrassing.

B　[词义猜测题。根据画线词后的thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once(成千上万只火烈鸟一起飞上天空)可知，What a spectacular sight it must be意为“那一定是令人惊叹的(fantastic)的景象”。故选B项。]

6．What's the writer's purpose of writing this article?

A．To show that the writer loves to see the migration of flamingos.

B．To tell readers to continue trying and it can make a difference.

C．To introduce a special kind of flamingo to readers.

D．To show that there're many problems in the world.

B　[写作意图题。根据最后一段中A few can make a difference.Even if you're the one to take the first step，and continue trying，others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.(一些小行为可以促成大的改变。即使你现在才迈出第一步，并且继续尝试，其他人终有一天会注意到，那样的话我们会一起解决我们最大的问题。)可判断出，作者写这篇文章的目的是呼吁人们要坚持努力，从小事做起保护环境，总有一天会产生影响。]

7．Where would you most probably read this passage?

A．A guidebook.     B．A movie poster.

C．An animal magazine. D．A personal blog.

D　[文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者对于现在环境存在的问题提出了一些担忧以及自己和家人保护环境的行为。由此判断出该类针对某一问题发表个人观点的文章应出现在个人博客中。]

Ⅲ.阅读七选五

News reports warn us that the smog is expected to stay with us for a couple of months.Air quality is 10 times worse than the World Health Organisation's recommended levels.__1__ However，there are easy ways to protect yourself against smog and air pollution.

Wear an N95 mask.

Surgical masks won't do，my friends.You need a proper N95 mask.__2__ The purpose is to filter out the little particles (颗粒)in the air that can be very unhealthy if breathed in.It's not attractive，but your health is more important than looking attractive.

Drink lots of water and stay hydrated (保持水分充足).

High temperature and high humidity are often connected with  high  smog  levels.This  makes  it important to stay in the shade and drink lots of water to stay hydrated，especially before，during，and after exercise.__3__

Stay indoors.

If possible，stay indoors.While you might want to visit your favourite open­air food stand，now it's not the time to do so.__4__ Better still，for those at work，pack your own lunch.What's more important，avoid exercise outdoors，especially from mid­morning to early evening，when smog levels are higher.

__5__

Often neighbours or family members smoke in the hallways or just outside of apartment buildings，which makes the air much worse.And this air still comes into the apartments.So，keep the windows closed and use air purifiers to protect your home.

A．Protect your home.

B．Keep the doors open.

C．If you want to go out，go to malls，and eat in enclosed spaces.

D．Consider exercising indoors in an air­conditioned environment.

E．You may think that there is nothing you can do about the air you breathe.

F．Besides，water will not only relieve thirst，but help clear your breathing passages.

G．Its strings should be tightly tied behind your    head，to hold the mask against your face.

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。介绍了在空气污染情况较为严重的情况下，我们可以采取的四种自我保护方法。

1．E　[根据空后的However，there are easy ways to protect yourself against smog and air pollution.中的However可知，E项(也许你会认为你对于吸入的空气无能为力)与之构成转折关系，符合语境。故选E项。]

2．G　[设空处前一句讲人们需要N95型号的口罩，后一句讲这样做的目的，G项介绍口罩的使用方法，符合文意。]

3．F　[本段标题Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.提示本段与喝水有关，F项介绍水的益处，符合语境。故选F项。]

4．C　[设空处前一句讲不要去室外吃路边摊，后一句讲工作时最好自己带午饭，由此可知设空处讲的也是吃饭方面的事情。C项(如果你想外出，就去购物中心，在封闭的空间里吃饭)符合上下文语境。故选C项。]

5．A　[设空处为主题句。根据本段最后一句So，keep the windows closed and use air purifiers to protect your home.可知当人们在室外抽烟的时候，我们最好关闭门窗并使用空气净化器来保护我们的家。A项Protect your home.符合段意。]
