　　(2024四川,B)

　　On a sunny day last August,Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully,he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.

　　Two 12-year-old boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they?d rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.

　　Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.

　　“Everything went quiet in my head,”Tim recalls(回憶).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”

　　Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so,he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point,I considered turning back,”he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the boys,“Take down the umbrella!”

　　Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing,but the waves were almost too strong for him.

　　“Let?s aim for the pier(碼頭),”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward,waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim?”he cried.“A little bit,”the boys said.

　　Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.

　　“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again.“Yes,”Tim told them each time.

　　After 30 minutes,they reached the pier.

　　1.Why did the two boys go to the sea?

　　A.To go boat rowing.

　　B.To get back their football.

　　C.To swim in the open water.

　　D.To test the umbrella as a sail.

　　2.What does“it”in Paragraph 2 refer to?

　　A.The beach. B.The water.

　　C.The boat. D.The wind.

　　3.Why did Tim raise his head regularly?

　　A.To take in enough fresh air.

　　B.To consider turning back or not.

　　C.To check his distance from the boys.

　　D.To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.

　　4.How did the two boys finally reach the pier?

　　A.They were dragged to the pier by Tim.

　　B.They swam to the pier all by themselves.

　　C.They were washed to the pier by the waves.

　　D.They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

　　一、單句填空

　　1.in　句意:這兩個短語結構相似,但意義不同。考查固定搭配。be similar in“在……方面相似”。

　　2.to know　句意:他將是最后一個知道他女兒死亡的人。 the first/second.../last person to do sth.表示“第一個/第二個……/最后一個做某事的人”。

　　3.where　句意:在你讀完這本雜志后,請把它放到原來的地方。考查地點狀語從句。此處為where引導的地點狀語從句。

　　4.have come　句意:——這是你第一次來昆明嗎?——是的,我多么興奮啊!本句為This is the+序數詞+time+(that)...句型,從句用現在完成時。

　　5.when　句意:所有客人正在宴會上唱歌跳舞時燈突然熄滅了。考查連詞。when相當于and at the moment。

　　6.known　句意:——你能讓我們認識一下你嗎?——我是這個委員會的名譽主席。考查make+賓語+賓補。此處yourself與非謂語動詞之間是被動關系,要用過去分詞作賓補。

　　7.the;a　句意:盡管下著大雨,第14屆福建省運動會的開幕式仍然非常成功。考查冠詞用法。根據語境可知第一個空表達人們都知道的事實,應該用定冠詞the;第二個空后的抽象名詞success用來表示具體概念:一件成功的事,故用a。

　　8.achievement　句意:這位教練的偉大成就就是把全體隊員凝聚成了一個團隊并最后贏得了決賽。考查名詞。形容詞great后修飾名詞achievement。

　　9.have left　句意:上個月,由于這次災難,有接近五十萬人已經離開了家園。考查sb.be believed to do sth.句式。根據語境可知空格處的動作發生在謂語動詞are believed之前,應該用不定式的完成式。

　　10.belief　句意:——你還愿意借給你室友錢嗎?——嗯。我總是相信他是一個誠實的小伙子。考查名詞。hold the belief “抱著……信念,相信……”,符合語境。

　　二、語法填空

　　[語篇解讀]　高中生活對一個人有著深遠的影響。作者回憶了自己的高中生活,有苦有樂,當然更多的是收獲的喜悅。

　　1.abilities　考查名詞。根據本空前的the可知,這里需要一個名詞。ability是可數名詞,這里指解決問題的不同的能力,所以使用復數形式。

　　2.that　考查定語從句。空格處引導定語從句,先行詞是challenges,因為先行詞前面有形容詞最高級修飾,所以關系代詞只能用that。

　　3.and　考查連詞。本空前后的experience和challenge是并列關系,所以用and連接。

　　4.more　考查比較級。相對于上文提到的知識,作者學得更多的是下面將要提到的內容,所以用much的比較級more。

　　5.is offered　考查動詞。作者提到了別人提供給自己的幫助,也就是自己被提供幫助,所以使用被動語態。

　　6.Attending　考查非謂語動詞。這里用動名詞作主語。

　　7.confidence　考查詞形轉換。根據本空前的my可知,這里需要一個名詞。

　　8.actually　考查詞形轉換。根據本空后的helped可知,這里用副詞actually修飾動詞加強語氣。

　　9.of　考查固定搭配。be fond of是固定搭配,意為“喜歡”。

　　10.them　考查代詞。這里用them指代本句的personal problems。

　　三、完形填空

　　[語篇解讀]　Jennifer已經離家出走三天了,終于感到放松了,于是決定回家。那么,她爸爸媽媽怎么樣了呢?

　　1.B　根據后文第9空前的The sun had set可知現在太陽開始落下去了。

　　2.D　根據空后的deep red in the middle可知:她因為太陽的顏色感到驚訝。

　　3.C　根據情景可知此處表達:太陽的顏色柔和地變成了黃色。quickly快速地;partly部分地;softly輕輕地、柔和地;probably大概、或許。

　　4.A　根據前文第1空后的She was on the beach可知她是坐在海灘上,所以此處應該是聽到了波濤聲(wave)和空中海鷗的叫聲。

　　5.A　周圍的氣氛讓她非常放松。relax sb.使某人放松/輕松。puzzle sb.讓某人迷惑不解;disappoint sb.讓某人失望;interrupt sb.打斷某人。

　　6.C　這正是她所需要的。

　　7.D　句意:我必須得回家了,我的父母一定在想我到底在哪兒呢。wonder想知道、想弄明白。

　　8.C　根據情景此處表達:失蹤三天后回家,所以答案為C項。

　　9.C　太陽已經落下去了,天開始變冷了。根據下句提到的想起了自己的某一件衣服可以推斷出:天開始冷了,答案為C項。

　　10.D　天黑下來開始變冷,自然想起了最喜歡穿的那件夾克衫(jacket)。其他三項與情景不符。

　　11.B　好幾天沒有人料理花園了。根據后文:原來爸爸對清掃這件事很嚴格的,可是現在卻不同了,由此可知好幾天沒人清掃了,答案為B項。

　　12.A　看到眼前的這一切與原來不一樣了,她感到很震驚(shocked):究竟發生什么事了?scared害怕;exhausted筋疲力盡的;comfortable舒適的。

　　13.C　句意:眼前的一切就好像是被遺棄了一樣。根據情景:好幾天沒清理了,看起來就像是被人遺棄的院落一樣。

　　14.D　根據情景:她走進了房子里面,所以答案為D項。

　　15.B　根據后文可知:在廚房里她發現了爸爸寫的一張紙條(note)。

　　16.A　紙條上寫著:我繼續去尋找了。根據上文的Jennifer離家三天了,可以推斷出此處應該是爸爸繼續外出尋找Jennifer了,答案為A項。

　　17.B　根據情景:她走進房間看到了躺在床上的母親,由此可知此處應該是父母的房間,答案為B項。

　　18.C　根據情景:進入房間,應該是從母親的臉上(face)看出了什么。

　　19.B　根據空后的She was really pale.可以推斷出:她從母親的臉上看出母親好像幾天沒睡覺了。

　　20.A　她在母親身邊躺下睡著了,醒來后卻躺在自己舒適的床上,所以醒來后發現情況不同了(different)。

　　四、閱讀理解

　　[語篇解讀]　本文為記敘文,題材為日常活動。本文講述了兩個孩子為了找一個足球駕船出海而遇到危險,最終被Tim成功救回的故事。

　　1.B　細節理解題。根據文章第二段第一句Two 12-year-old boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football.可知應選B項。

　　2.D　詞義猜測題。句意:但是他們沒有能力和風抗衡,于是船失控了。所以it指風。

　　3.C　細節理解題。根據文章第五段第二句Every 500 yards or so,he raised his head to judge his progress.可知他常抬起頭來看看自己的進展,即距離兩個孩子的距離,故選C。

　　4.A　細節理解題。根據文章倒數第三段可知兩個孩子是被Tim拖到碼頭的,故選A。
