B级 能力素养提升练

Ⅴ.阅读理解

It was a rainy day.I had no desire to drive along 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 corner 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 color was like a carpet before us.It looked as though the sun 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 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

Camping is affordable

Ⅴ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的一次野外经历,并由此告诉我们成功在于点滴的积累。

1.A　推理判断题。前文提到:从山顶到山坡和山谷,都是盛开的水仙花。此处是说中间挂着一条紫色的什么瀑布。由此可推断hyacinths应该指的是一种花。故选A项。

2.D　推理判断题。根据第六段中的关键点“She changed the world”“One bulb at a time.She started almost 40 years ago”可知,她用了近四十年的时间,每次栽种一根球茎,最终改变了“世界”。由此可知,作者的感触是:成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。

3.D　主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者在一次野外经历中从一位女士身上受到启发——成功在于点滴的积累。故选D项。

Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了露营游玩的诸多好处,如它既能让我们拥有陪伴家人的黄金时光,又可以让我们暂时远离忙碌的生活等等。

1.E　根据上句“Why go camping?”可知,此处回答人们去露营的原因,结合下文搭起帐篷、关掉手机等内容可推断,它可以给你在周末甚至更长的时间里什么都不做的机会。故选E项。

2.F　根据本段标题以及下句内容可知,此处介绍的是户外活动中看到的风景,在户外,有这么多的美景,我们很少有机会欣赏它。选项F中的信息词outdoors、appreciate与标题中的appreciation以及下句中的outdoor呼应。故选F项。

3.B　根据本段标题以及下句内容可知,这会给你机会与家人和朋友一起度过黄金时光。显然在露营的时间里,没有工作和电子产品的打扰才能和朋友或家人一起做运动、做饭或交谈,因此此处指的是应该把将电子游戏放在家里作为一种规则。故选B项。

4.C　根据上句“Living outdoors gives you the opportunity to learn some survival skills.”和下文“You may also learn how to protect yourself from mosquitoes and other insects”可知,此处介绍野外生存的技能,下句中的also表示递进关系,所以设空处也是在描述学习到的生存技能。C选项“野营后你可能会设法生火”,符合语境。

5.G　根据本段标题以及上文的“When it comes to budget vacations,a camping trip is one of the most economical choices for a family getaway.”可知,本段介绍的是旅游开支。选项G“因此如果你正在寻找一种省钱的旅行,那就出去搭个帐篷吧”,符合语境。故选G项。

Ⅶ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者叙述自己有一天开车去沼泽地观鸟时,车子失去控制陷进了沼泽地,当作者处在危险境地时,他经过不断的尝试和努力,成功摆脱了困境。

1.B　根据“One day I was driving to the marsh for bird-watching.”可知,有一天作者开车去沼泽地观鸟。显然,此句的意思是“当我快到达目的地时”。seek“寻找”;approach“接近;到达”;choose“选择”;visit“参观”,因此B项符合语境。

2.A　根据前面的“The weather forecast called for the possibility of fog.”可知,天气预报说可能有雾。rise这里的意思是“雾开始逐渐变大”,因此选A项。lift“举起”;decrease“减少”;disappear“消失”,均不符合语境。

3.D　根据后面的“ran into the wet land”可以判断出,车陷进了沼泽地,这就暗示作者失去了对车的控制。lose control of “失去对……的控制”;lose sight of“看不见”;lose track of“与……失去联系”,touch不用于此结构,因此D项正确。

4.C　句意:我试图打开门,但是门被锁住了,因为水使得电路系统短路。short在这里是动词,意思是“使短路”。operate“操作”;settle“解决”;develop“发展”,均不符合文意。

5.B　根据上文中出现的“a fire extinguisher”可推断,显然作者在这里是抓起了它,然后给窗户狠狠一击。break“打破”;grab“抓”;hang“悬挂”;close“关闭”,故选B项。

6.D　作者用灭火器对窗户狠狠一击。gentle“柔和的;温柔的”;mild“轻微的;温和的”;direct“直接的”;sharp“剧烈的;强烈的”,因此D项符合语境。

7.A　句意:它只是弹开了。我又打了一下,结果还是一样,因此选same。joyful“快乐的”;positive“积极的”;different“不同的”,均不符合文意。

8.C　根据上文可知,水位上升,很快作者就在水下挥动灭火器。显然作者被淹没在水下了,他就不得不从水中浮上来呼吸空气。go out“出去”;go away“离开”;go up“上去”;go over“仔细检查”,因此C项符合语境。

9.B　这里的意思是,只要作者的呼吸允许,作者必须尽可能多挥动灭火器。swing“摆动,挥动”,符合语境。fist“用拳打”;cut“切割”;call“喊叫”,均不符合语境。

10.D　根据下文的“A part of me just wanted to give up.”可知,作者几乎要放弃了,他绝望了。desperate “绝望的;孤注一掷的”,符合语境。delighted“高兴的”;disappointed“失望的”;determined“有决心的”,均不符合文意。

11.A　根据语境可知,作者感觉到他只有一点时间了,故选A项。

12.B　根据语境可知,作者这时候心里想的一定是要更努力,因此选harder。weaker“更虚弱”;better “更好”;worse“更糟糕”,不符合文意。

13.C　这里的意思是,作者继续挥动着灭火器,因此选C项。start“开始”;pause“暂停”;consider “认为”,均不符合语境。

14.C　句意:我伸出左手,感觉到窗户上有个洞。wave“挥动”;shake“摇晃”;extend“伸出;延伸”;take“带走”,故C项符合语境。

15.D　根据上文中的“I 　　　it and gave the window a 　　　hit.”可知,此处指的是窗户。意思是“我摸到了窗户上有个洞”,因此D项正确。
