With her heart beating fast, she struggled so hard to move __39__ that she didn’t hear the car which suddenly appeared beside her. She stopped by the road. The big black car also __40__. Slowly, the passenger-window began to slide down. Alice held her breath. In the soft light inside the car, something __41__.

Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.
He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.
With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously—but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed
him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.”
On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he lived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.
“You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,” laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic!” But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow.
本文讲述了主人公Andy在上学途中遭遇蜂群攻击, 急中生智, 躲入水中避险成功的故事。
56. Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier?
A. He was riding to school.
B. He was listening to a strange sound.

B. 他正在听一个奇怪的声音
C. 他将要和他的父亲去钓鱼
D. 他的思绪沉浸于钓鱼之旅。
从第一段最后一句: He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him.可见, Andy正忙于做抓鱼的白日梦, 没有意识到他周围的事情。与D选项, 他的思绪沉浸于钓鱼之旅相符。

D. 他们让Andy在医院住了两天
解析: A. C. 三项的出处均为原文第二段的最后一句: A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him.意为, 一大群蜜蜂像乌云一样布满天空而嗡嗡作响的蜂群似乎正怒气冲冲的向他飞来。可见, A. 蜂群像乌云一样, C. 蜜蜂想成群攻击Andy均有提到;B选项的出处为第二段倒数第二句:What he saw shocked and terrified him, Andy看到的景象吓坏了他, 故B选项也有提到。D选项出处为第三段第五句话和第六句话, 但是文中所述是Andy上次被蜜蜂蛰过一次后进了医院住了两天, 选项偷换了概念, 故D选项文章并未提到, 选择D。
58. How did Andy avoid the bees in the end?
A. He asked Mr. Nelson for help.
B. He did himself under the water.
C. He rushed into the Nelson house.
D. He rode off in the opposite direction.

考点:细节理解
题目: 最终Andy是如何躲开蜂群的?
A. 他向Mr. Nelson求助
B. 他把自己藏在了水下
C. 他冲进了Nelson的房子
D. 他骑向了相反的方向
解析: 出处为第五段第二三句话, Off his bike and into the cool water he dived,
disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees had gone .Andy下了车潜入了水中, 躲开了蜂群, 在屏息了尽可能长的时间后Andy出来发现蜜蜂已经飞走了。故选择B选项。
59. Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees?
A. No pains, no gains.
B. Once bitten, twice shy.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. In time of danger, one’s mind works fast.

C. 有志者. 事竟成
D. 急中生智
解析: 出处, 文章最后一段的第二句, Andy的妈妈说道: Thank goodness you didn't panic, 谢天谢地你没有慌神, 可知情急之下Andy仍然成功想到办法脱险, 再综合A. B. C. D四个选项的意思, 可以判断出D选项。
B

C
Kong Zi , also called Confucius (551-479 B.C) , and Socrates (469-399 B. C) lived only a hundred years apart , and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas , and how these ideas in turn ,shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars un Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not
asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:” Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
64. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common,
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C. The societies ware influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
答案:C
考点:细节理解。
题目: 从第一段中得出以下哪一个是正确的?
A: 孔子和苏格拉底有很多共同之处
B: 孔子对于苏格拉底的观念起了很大影响
C: 社会被哲学家的观念所影响
D:在中国和希腊之间有文化交流
解析: 从文中第一段最后一句的后半句得出答案。文中说到两位哲学家孔子和苏格拉底,世界影响了他们哲学观念的塑造,同样他们的观念也影响了他们的社会。C选项最符合文意,ABC选项原文均未提及。
65. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that .
A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
来源:高考资源网 D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
答案:B
考点:细节理解
题目: 苏格拉斯与孔子一致的观念是?
A: 众生平等
B:下层阶级应该被上层阶级管理
C: 人的目标就是追求自由和智慧
D: 己所不欲,勿施于人
解析:
第三段最后一句得出答案。ABC选项均是在陈述孔子的观点,只有B选项是在说苏格拉底的哲学理念。像孔夫子一样,苏格拉底相信上层阶级应该统治下层阶级。
66. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A. Family. B. Potential. C. Knowledge. D. Community.
答案:C
考点:细节理解
题目: 根据孔子所述,什么使众生彼此不相同?
A:家庭 B: 潜能 C: 知识 D: 社团
解析:从文中第三段第二句得出答案。孔子认为人出生时都是平等的,虽然有些人有过人的潜能,是知识使人与人之间不相同。
67. This passage is organized in the pattern of ,

C. cause and effect

答案:B
考点:篇章结构理解题

A: 时间和事件

D: 定义和分类
解析:本篇文章通篇采用对比的手法,将孔子和苏格拉底在哲学观念上的相同以及不同之处进行比较论述。故选择B选项。
D
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, aircraft cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientist; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about
a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they farmed with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern machinery has freed people from that primitive existence.
68. The new products become more and more time-saving because .
A. our love of speed seems never-ending
B. time is limited.
C. the prices are increasingly high.
D. the manufactures boast a lot.
答案:A
题目: 新发明变得越来越省时, 是因为?
A. 我们对速度的热爱从未停止。 可回原文定位never-ending(因为有连词符号)。原文第一段说到Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending.事实上, 我们对速度的热爱从未停止。A选项是对原文的同意改写。
B. 时间有限。原文未提及。
C. 价格日渐攀升。原文未提及价格因素。
D. 生产商大肆吹嘘。回原文定位Boast(因为有中文注释).第一段最后一句说Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boats (吹嘘) of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.
解析:每年都有更高速的新车出产, 而且新电脑也吹嘘能节省宝贵的每一秒钟。可见, 题目和选项矛盾。越来越省时是事实, 不是因为吹嘘而变得省时了。
69. What does “the days” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?
A. Imaginary life B. Simple life in the past.
C. Times of inventions D. Time for constant activity.
答案:B
题目: 第三段的“the days”指的是什么?
A: 想象的生活
B: 过去的简单生活
C: 发明的时间
D: 连续活动的时间
解析: 回原文定位第三段该句Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.也许, 我们静静聆听广播里的故事节目, 任想象插上翅膀肆意翱翔的日子, 已经一去不返了。根据前后一句可得知, 文章重点是说的高速生活和简单生活的对比。故:B选项是对原文的正确解读。而A选项的理解有偏差, 重点转移了。
70. What is the author’s attitude towards the modern technology?
A. Critical B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Negative.
答案:B
题目: 作者对现代科技的态度是?
A: 批判的 B: 客观的 C: 乐观的 D: 消极的
解析: 根据文章结构, 第一段陈述事实, 说现代高科技省时省力。第二段说高速生活的弊端。第三段说对简单生活的向往, 但最后第四段却说高科技对现代生活的积极影响。所以, 作者的观点是不偏不倚的。
71. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The present and past times.
B. Machinery and human beings.
C. Imaginations and inventions.
D. Modern technology and its influence.
答案:D
题目: 这篇文章主要说的是什么?
A: 过去与现在
B: 机器和人类
C: 想象力和创造力
D: 现代科技和它的影响
解析: 根据文章首尾段的大意可知, 文章重在分析高科技的利与弊。
E
Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise without mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year.
In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills ? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
