词句猜测题[学生用书P149(单独成册)]‎ ‎(建议用时：25分钟)‎ A ‎(2019·常州学业水平监测)The pumpkin(南瓜) theme is everywhere at Butler’s Orchard in Germantown, Maryland. It has thousands of pumpkins, including a pumpkin patch where people can pick their own pumpkin. There are also other things to do, like riding a pony, rushing down a slide or walking around a corn maze with its confusing winding pathways. Some children discover the big orange fruits way more than they think. Visitors can pick their own in season fruits, vegetables and flowers. Butler’s Orchard opened more than sixty years ago, as one of the first pick your own farms in the area.‎ Ken Merriam brought his children. He says Butler’s Orchard brings back good memories of growing up on a farm in Honduras.“It’s a little bit of what I used to have as a kid, so that’s why I think it’s nice to bring them over here. Get them out of the city.” Shirley Butler’s grandchildren who are in their 30s are now the third generation to run the farm. General manager Tyler Butler says children who usually only see pumpkins in grocery stores can learn how pumpkins are grown.‎ ‎“I didn’t know pumpkins came from a vine. There are flowers on this vine. There are roots.”These little girls are learning about pumpkins during their first trip to a pumpkin patch to feel the nature and the fruits. For Tristan Piazza’s mother, the Fall Festival is an annual event. “My parents have always brought me. I bring my kid now. I hope he stays in the area and he can bring his kids.” Since family funds are hard to keep_afloat these days, Tyler Butler appreciates the tens of thousands of visitors who come to the Fall Festival each year.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了Butler自助果园的一些活动项目和它对于他人的家庭所起到的独一无二的作用。‎ ‎1．At Butler’s Orchard, visitors can experience ________.‎ A．picking vegetables in person B．growing vegetables by themselves C．tasting fruits off season D．selling pumpkins online A　解析：细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第二句“Visitors can pick their own in season fruits, vegetables and flowers.”可知，游客可以在Butler果园里亲自采摘当令的水果、蔬菜和鲜花。故选A项。‎ ‎2．Why did Ken Merriam take his children to the farm?‎ A．They want to run it.‎ B．They want to grow vegetables.‎ C．It reminds him of his childhood.‎ D．It provides them with fun activities.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“He says Butler’s Orchard brings back good memories of growing up on a farm in Honduras.”可知，他带孩子来这里是因为这里让他想起了他的童年。故选C项。‎ ‎3．Which of the following best explains “keep afloat”underlined in the last paragraph?‎ A．Guarantee.　　　　　　 B．Earn.‎ C．Expand.

Even my younger sister had got rid of them much earlier than me. But as I began to grow older, this changed.‎ All this happened on the Bike Safety Day. It is supposed to be a fun day at school when all of us kids bring our bikes to school and the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety. Sounds like fun, right? No. In fact, it caused me to panic. What was I going to say when my friends asked me about my training wheels?‎ With the pressure of everyone seeing my training wheels, I determined to let them go. This was the first big change I’d ever made on my own.‎ I went to my parents and told them all about my dilemma. They were more than happy to help. We went outside and got my bike. Instead of running away and hiding behind, I stood in front of my bike and took great pride in my decision as my dad removed the training wheels.‎ I got on and steadied myself. My heart raced but my feet and hands were calm. My dad started to push before my feet even moved and suddenly I was off. The fear faded away and a relaxed mind came into its place. It was crazy to think how quickly I learned something that took so long for me to even try!‎ My confidence soared(高涨). This was going to be the start of a brand new world for me. My accomplishment would carry me forth to new goals and wins. I realized that if I set my mind on doing something, I could achieve it.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文讲述了作者小时候迟迟不敢去掉自行车的稳定轮，在学校“自行车安全日”来临之前因为害怕同学看见她的稳定轮而最终下决心去掉它们。‎ ‎5．What does the school expect the students to do on Bike Safety Day?‎ A．Have their bikes checked.‎ B．Ride outside for fun.‎ C．Acquire bike safety skills.‎ D．Remove the training wheels.‎ C　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the school provides us with the opportunity to ride outside and learn proper bike safety”可知，学校想让学生在“自行车安全日”学会一些自行车安全技能，故选C项。‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．The author’s friends.

Activities like playing computer games and going on the Net are only for the youngsters. Isn’t it unfair that older people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon by their children and grandchildren?‎ Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.‎ When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says, “I find it very relaxing. It’s not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”‎ Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There’s a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation(模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on realworld activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a stricttimetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.‎ Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don’t have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This_couldn’t_be_further_from_the_truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, mind challenging games.‎ ‎【解题导语】　‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了当今老年人的身心状况、社会地位以及他们在电脑游戏方面的优秀表现等。‎ ‎9．What is the purpose of paragraph 2?‎ A．To show the best way to exercise the brain.‎ B．To stress the importance of good health.‎ C．To explain why grey gamers exist.‎ D．To teach how to play videogames.‎ C　解析：写作意图题。根据第二段可知，当今的老年人对自己的生活有更多的支配权。更好的医疗保健让他们即便六七十岁仍然身体硬朗。不仅身心方面的锻炼有助于健康，而且玩电脑游戏也有助于锻炼大脑。由此可知，对于老年人来说，玩电脑是很正常的活动。所以第二段是为了说明为什么现在有很多老龄游戏玩家的存在。故C项正确。‎ ‎10．What was older people’s attitude towards personal computers at first?‎ A．Doubtful.　　　　　　 B．Concerned.‎ C．Enthusiastic. D．Supportive.‎ A　解析：观点态度题。根据第三段第一句“When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didn’t believe they would ever familiarize themselves with it.”可知，老年人起初对电脑持怀疑态度。故A项正确。‎ ‎11．Which method does the author use to develop paragraph 4?‎ A．Offering analyses. B．Giving examples.‎ C．Making comparisons. D．Providing details.‎ B　解析：写作手法题。通读第四段可知，第四段首句讲另一个有利于老龄玩家的发展是在市场上可找到的电子游戏的类型的改变，然后通过举例介绍了Internet Chess和Train Simulator这样的游戏。所以作者采用了举例说明的方法。故B项正确。‎ ‎12．What does the author mean by saying “This couldn’t be further from the truth.” in paragraph 5?‎ A．Mind challenging games are not suitable for older people.‎ B．Children should improve their skills with practice.‎ C．Playing computer games requires analytical thinking.‎ D．Older people can perform well in some computer games.‎ D　解析：句意理解题。根据画线句前面的内容可知，有些人认为老龄玩家不具备电脑游戏所需要的技巧，而年轻人就好多了；再根据其后面的内容可知，‎ 大多数电脑游戏都需要一种经过实践不断改进的分析能力，这意味着老龄玩家可能比年轻玩家要优秀得多。由此可推知，画线句的意思是对其前内容的否定，即老年人在一些电脑游戏中表现很不错。故D项正确。‎ ‎[长难句分析]　Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.(第二段最后一句)‎ 分析：Playing computer games为动名词短语作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。‎ 译文：玩电脑游戏是锻炼大脑的一种非常有效的方式。‎
