Ⅳ.阅读理解

Since I was born and brought up in a rural (乡村的) town,I have a great interest in nature.Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college,I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there.So after I finished the study abroad program,I went to Yellowknife in the North West Territories.

I clearly remember the sixth night in the Yellowknife.Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m.and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.

The “northern lights” were flickering in the sky!I was astonished and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.

I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep at all that night.Since that night,whenever it was sunny,I went outside at night and looked at the sky.It was so cold that I lost all feelings in my hands and feet.Actually,the time of my being able to be out was limited.I had to bring her camera back to house in one hour at the most,for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature.

As I took the pictures of the northern lights,I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights.They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky.After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky,it is very hard to get good pictures.

The stronger the sun acts,the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky.That’s because they occur from the collisions between atmospheric gases and solar wind.Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active,which leads to the best northern lights.And the colours of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and kinds of gases.

1.Why did the author forget to take pictures?

A.It was very cold outside.

B.He was shocked by the wonderful sights.

C.The lights were flickering in the sky.

D.He lost all feelings in his hands and feet.

2.From the passage we can see that 　　　. 

A.the author could stay as long as he liked outside

B.the “northern lights” came out every night

C.the author took a lot of pictures with his camera

D.cameras will be damaged if exposed too long in very cold weather

3.When is the best time to see the “northern lights”?

A.They appear in the north part of the sky.

B.They come down to the south part of the sky.

C.They are in the middle of the north and south.

D.They rise in the east part of the sky.

4.The author found it hard to take good pictures because 　　　. 

A.the lights stayed in the middle for a very short time

B.the lights of the sun affected the “northern lights”

C.the lights were caused by the collisions of gases

D.the colours of the lights are determined by the height

Ⅵ.读后续写

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。

A Long Walk Home

I grew up in the south of Spain in a little community called Estepona.I was 16 when one morning,my father told me I could drive him into a remote village called Mijas,about 18 miles away,on the condition that I took the car in to be serviced at a nearby garage.Having just learned to drive and hardly ever having the opportunity to use the car,I readily accepted.I drove Dad into Mijas and promised to pick him up at 4 pm.I then drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car.Because I had a few hours to spare,I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theater near the garage.However,I became so interested in the films that I didn’t pay any attention to the time.When the last movie had finished,I looked down at my watch.It was six o’clock.I was two hours late!

I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies.He’d never let me drive again.I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than expected.I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently in the corner.I apologised for being late and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could,but the car had needed some major repairs.I’ll never forget the look he gave me.

“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me,Jason.”

“What do you mean?I’m telling the truth.”

Dad looked at me again.“When you did not show up,I called the garage to ask if there were any problems,and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car.So you see,I know there were no problems with the car.” A feeling of guilt ran through me as I weakly confessed to my trip to the movie theater and the real reason for my being late.Dad listened attentively as a sadness passed through him.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

“I’m angry,not with you but with myself.

My protests and apologies were useless.

答案：

Ⅰ.1.greets　2.crowded　3.to plant　4.to share　5.going    6.making　7.was dotted　8.counties

Ⅱ.1.keep your eyes open for　2.break away from　3.have a great influence on　4.join;to　5.in charge of　6.as well as　7.dates back to　8.crowded in　9.Amounts of　10.belonging to

Ⅲ.1.with many trees and flowers planted　2.crowd into　3.greeted all the guests warmly　4.the custom of firing fireworks　5.to keep healthy

Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者出生在乡下,对大自然有浓厚的兴趣。他利用大二出国进修的机会去了加拿大,因为他想观看北极光。

1.B　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was astonished and just stood there with my mouth open.I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.”可推知,作者为观察到的景象所震惊,所以忘了照相。故B项正确。

2.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“for the camera was going to be broken because of the cold temperature”可知,由于寒冷,照相机在外面时间长了会被毁坏。因此选D项。

3.C　细节理解题。由第五段中的“After that,suddenly,they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while,which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.”可知,当北极光位于北部和南部中间时是最佳时间,所以选C项。

4.A　细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to...”可知,作者发现很难捕捉到好的照片的原因是它们出现在天空正中间的时间太短。因此选A项。

Ⅴ.Dear Tom, 

It is nice to receive your e-mail.Now I’d like to tell you something about the Palace Museum. 

The Palace Museum,dating back to the Ming Dynasty,is a fascinating tourist attraction.It took nearly 14 years to build and was completed in 1420.As the largest museum in China,the Palace Museum holds precious treasures from the past thousands of years of Chinese history.It’s not surprising that its temples and palaces amount to 9,999 because nine is traditionally considered as a lucky number.Students now can visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday.

I do hope you can come to take a look at this museum in person.You are sure to be attracted.

Best wishes! 

Yours,

Li Hua 

Ⅵ.　　“I’m angry,not with you but with myself.You see,I realise that I have failed as a father if after all these years you feel that you have to lie to me.I have failed because I have brought up a son who cannot even tell the truth to his own father.I am going to walk home now and think seriously about where I have gone wrong all these years.” “But Dad,it’s 18 miles.It’s dark.You can’t walk home.”

My protests and apologies were useless.Dad began walking along the dusty road.I quickly jumped in the car and followed behind,hoping he would change his mind.I begged all the way,telling him how sorry I was,but he simply ignored me,continuing on his way silently,thoughtfully and painfully.For 18 miles I drove behind him,at a speed of about five miles per hour.Seeing my father in so much physical and emotional pain was the sad dest experience that I had ever faced.However,it was also the most important lesson.I have never lied to him since.
