He had three sons and they all worked in the same factory where he had worked. After the war had begun, his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights. The old man was very sad. He didn’t have enough food and was often hungry. And nobody helped him and he didn’t know how to go on living.‎ It was a very cold winter night. The old man couldn’t go to sleep. He had been hungry for two days and it was so cold in his room that ice could be seen. He had to get up and began to run in the room until he lay down on the floor. The next morning he had to beg from door to door. He had been to a lot of cities and knew a lot.‎ Once he came to a village, but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything. He was too hungry to go to another village. He thought hard and found a way. He came to a police station and called out, “Hitler is a foolish pig!”‎ Out came an old policeman at once. He took the old man into a room, gave him some bread and a cup of tea. Then he said, “Don’t say so in our village, sir!”‎ ‎“I’m sorry, sir,” said the old man. “I don’t know it’s Hitler’s home town.” “No, no, sir,” the policeman said in a hurry. “It’s pigs’ hometown!”‎ ‎ 1.

D。推断题。根据 …his sons were all made to join the army 这里用了 made 说明his sons 并不是自愿去的，因此应该选 D。‎ ‎2. B。细节题。根据 …his sons were all made to join the army one after another and they all died in the fights 可知应该选 B。‎ ‎3. C。细节题。根据第3段第1句 …but the villagers were all poor and couldn’t give him anything 可知答案为 C。‎ ‎4. B。判断题。根据 Then he said “Don’t say so in our village, sir!” 和 the policeman 后面讲的话可知，他也不喜欢希特勒，因此选 B。‎ ‎5. A。推断题。根据文章内容，the old man 说 I don’t know it’s Hitler’s home town，而 the policeman 急忙说 No, no, sir…It’s pigs’ hometown! 据此可知，the policeman 认为 Hitler 连一头猪都不如。因此选A。‎ 文章中说 The police say this is the pig’s hometown，而且他不允许 the old say this is Hitler’s hometown 从中可以感受到他认为 Hitler还不比一只猪强。因此应该选择 A。‎ ‎***************************************************************结束 ‎ (1)‎ The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics.

The two teams had been playing for only three minutes when Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before.‎ Liverpool‎ came back with a fine attack.‎ ‎ Unfortunately Tarleston, their center forward, left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier, but had been playing in spite of his injury.‎ Bobby Good scored for Liverpool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles, had run 40 yards and had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle(拥抱), Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over and the final result was one to one.‎ ‎1. The first score was made by ______ and the last score was made by ______.‎ A. Gomez, Good B. Biles, Good ‎ C. Jimernez, Tores D. Gomez, Tores ‎2. Tarleston is most likely to have got hurt in the ______ minute.‎ A. 30th B. 35th C. 40th D. 45th ‎3. Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?‎ ‎ A.

Tarleston, Tores, Good D. Biles, Tores, Gomez ‎【答案与解析】本文继记叙了 Valencia 队与Livepool 队之间的一场精彩的足球比赛。‎ ‎ 1. A。细节题。根据第1段 When Gomez scored the first goal 及最后一段 Good got past him somehow, shot over the head of the goal-keeper and scored. Thus the match was over… 可知此题答案为 A。‎ ‎ 2. A。细节判断题。根据第3段 …left the field in the 35th minute. He had hurt his ankle badly earlier… 可判断出 Tarleston 在比赛进行不到35分钟时就受了伤，比较 A、B、C、D 四项可知答案只能是 A。‎ ‎ 3. B。细节题。根据 …had beaten at least 3 Valencia defenders when Tores almost bought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow, shot… 可知 B 项说法是正确的；文章第1段第3句是说 Jimernez 差点就射了门，所以 A 项说法不正确；根据原文可知 Gomez 是 Valencia 队的，而 Bobby Good 是Livepool 队的，所以 C、D 两项说法是错误的。因此此题答案为 B。‎ ‎4. B。细节判断题。根据…Gomez scored the first goal, and Jimernez had almost scored a minute before. Livepool came back with a fine attack. Unfortunately Tarleston…可知Gomez 和Jimernez 都不属于Livepool 队，即他们属于Volencia 队。而Tarleston 属于Livepool 队。再根据最后一段 Bobby Good scored for Livepool in the 40th minute. He had taken a pass from Biles 可知 Bobby Good 和 Biles 属于 Livepool 队；再根据 …when Tores almost brought him down with a hard tackle, Good got past him somehow… 可知 Tores 属于 Volencia 队，由此可知答案为 B。(做此题时若能一边看文章一边画个草图，一定会有意想不到的效果。)‎ ‎*****************************************************************结束 ‎(3) ‎ Winter-swimming has become popular in Beijing.
