　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共兩節)

　　第一節　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中，選出最佳選項。

　　Wind，water，fire and ice—these powerful natural forces have shaped the land of America in the past.They are still changing it today.

　　The Colorado River slowly cut down through stone to make the Grand Canyon (大峽谷)．

　　Long ago，ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes，and glaciers (冰川) are still on the move in Alaska.

　　Wind and rain storm hit the land from time to time.Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes of wild animals：This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1988.

　　Dead volcanic (火山的) mountains such as Haleakala on Maui and Carter Lakein Oregon are beautiful to look at.But there are several active volcanoes in the US，especially along the Pacific Coast.There are also many earthquakes in this area.Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes.This was shown clearly on May 18,1980.At 8：32 that morning，Mount St Helens in Washington state broke out.The top of the mountain was blown off.

　　Over 60 people—campers，scientists，journalists，forest workers—were killed.Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down.In towns over 100 miles away，day suddenly became night.An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours.Towns and fields in Washington，Oregon，and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.

　　Scientists knew that Mt St Helens might erupt (爆發) soon.But no one could say when.And no one expected the terrible strength of the eruption.Many people were surprised and unready.Harry R．Truman,84，owned a small hotel in Mt St Helens.Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous.

　　But Harry Truman would not leave his home.Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash.A small cross stands above the place where Harry probably died.Perhaps it is better that he did not see the destruction of Mt St Helens，the once beautiful lake，and the forests.

　　But slowly，life is returning to the dead area around the mountain.Grass and small plants are beginning to grow again.Deer and birds have been seen.The land will never be the same as it once was.Perhaps Mt St Helens will erupt again.But this is all part of nature’s pattern of change，and man has little power to control it.

　　1．Which would be the best title for the passage?

　　A．Wind，Water，Fire and Ice

　　B．Volcano’s Beauty and Danger

　　C． The Power of Nature

　　D．Natural Force Shapes Beautiful Land for America

　　解析：選C。主旨大意題。作者在此想通過the Grand Canyon的形成過程告訴我們“自然的力量”。

　　2．After the eruption of volcano，what makes the sky turn dark?

　　A．The smoke.B．The clouds.

　　C．The fog. D．The ash.

　　解析：選D。細節理解題。從第六段倒數第二句“An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours.”可知，火山爆發之后，“灰塵”使得天空變暗。

　　3．The underlined word“it”means

　　.

　　A．the body of old Harry

　　B．the location of Harry’s home

　　C．the opening on top of Mt St Helens

　　D．the place where Harry probably died

　　解析：選B。詞義猜測題。倒數第二段“But Harry Truman would not leave his home.”接下來說“Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash.”，因此it在這里指Harry’s home。

　　4．We can infer from this article that

　　.

　　A．Washington and Oregon are neighboring states

　　學習網B．Colorado River runs through Yosemite Valley

　　C．the eruption of Mt St Helens also caused trouble with the Yellowstone Park

　　D．scientists never knew Mt St Helens was active

　　解析：選A。推理判斷題。當華盛頓州的圣勞倫斯火山爆發時，“Towns and fields in Washington，Oregon，and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.”由此我們可推斷Washington，Oregon以及Idaho是三個相鄰的州。

　　第二節　根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　1．

　　However，all floods are not alike.Some floods develop slowly，sometimes over a period of days.But flash floods can develop quickly，sometimes in just a few minutes and without any signs of rain.Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water.It carries rocks and mud and can sweep away most things in its path.Overland flooding occurs outside a river but still can be harmful.Flooding can also occur when a dam breaks，producing effects similar to flash floods.

　　If a flood is likely to occur in your area，you should：

　　Listen to the radio for information.2.

　　Don’t wait for instructions to move.

　　If you have time to prepare，you should：

　　Make your home safe by bringing in outdoor furniture.More essential items to an upper floor.3.

　　Do not touch any electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.

　　4．

　　Don’t walk through moving water.Six inches of moving water can make you fall.If you have to walk in water，walk where the water is not moving.Use a stick to check the firmness of the ground in front of you.

　　Don’t drive into flooded areas.If flood water rises around your car，give up the car and move higher ground if you can do so safely.5.

　　The following are guidelines for the period following a flood：

　　Listen to news reports to learn whether the community’s water supply is safe to drink.Stay away from downed power lines，and report them to the power company.

　　A．Turn off all pieces of electrical equipment.

　　B．Otherwise you and the car can be quickly swept away.

　　C．The following are tips about escaping from floods.

　　D．Floods are one of the most common disasters in the United States.

　　E．If you have to leave your home right away，remember the following tips.

　　F．If there is any possibility of a flash flood，move immediately to higher ground.

　　G．There are many natural disasters like floods，storms，hurricanes in the US every year.

　　【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文，屬于資訊報道類短文閱讀。文章介紹了洪水災害。詳細說明了洪災來臨時應該注意的幾項：關注資訊信息；把外面的家具搬進家；關掉電源開關；不要在水面行走；不要在水區開車。

　　1．解析：選D。根據后面轉折句“However，all floods are not alike.Some floods develop slowly，sometimes over a period of days.”可知此空是說“洪水是美國最常見的災害之一”。故選D。

　　2．解析：選F。根據“Listen to the radio for information.2.

　　Don’t wait for instructions to move.”可知，仔細聽廣播信息，如果有洪水襲來，立刻向高處轉移，不要等聽到提示再轉移。故選F。

　　3．解析：選A。根據后面的句子“Do not touch any electrical equipment if you are wet or standing in water.”可知是關掉所有的電器。故選A。

　　4．解析：選E。根據下段“Don’t walk through moving water.Six inches of moving water can make you fall.”可知，本段介紹的是在外面應該注意的事項。故選E。

　　5．解析：選B。根據本段“Don’t drive into flooded areas.If flood water rises around your car，give up the car and move higher ground if you can do so safely.5.

　　”可知，不要在洪水區域開車，如果洪水升到了車附近，就棄車到更高的地方。不然的話，車與人會迅速被沖走。故選B。

　　Ⅱ.完形填空

　　閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項中選出最佳選項。

　　Once when there was a famine (饑荒)，a rich baker sent for twenty of the poorest children in the town，and said to them，“In this basket there is a loaf for each of you.

　　1

　　it，and come back to me every

　　2

　　at this hour till better times come.”

　　The hungry children

　　3

　　eagerly around the basket，and quarreled for the bread，

　　4

　　each wished to have the largest loaf.At last they went away without even

　　5

　　the good gentleman.But Gretchen，a poorly-dressed little，did not

　　6

　　or struggle with the rest，but remained

　　7

　　modestly in the distance.When the ill-behaved children had left，she took the

　　8

　　loaf，which alone was left in the basket，

　　9

　　the gentleman’s hand，and went home.

　　The next day the children were as

　　10

　　as before，and poor，shy Gretchen received a loaf only nearly half the

　　11

　　of the one she got the first day.When she came home，her mother cut the

　　12

　　open，many new，shining pieces of silver fell out of it.Her mother was very much

　　13

　　，and said，“Take the money back to the good

　　14

　　at once，for it must have got into the loaf

　　15

　　.Be quick，Gretchen! Be quick！”

　　But when the little girl gave the rich man her mother’s

　　16

　　，he said，“No，no，my child，it was no

　　17

　　.I had the silver pieces put into the smallest loaf to

　　18

　　you.Always be as contented，peaceable，and

　　19

　　as you now are.Go home now，and the

　　20

　　is your own.”

　　【解題導語】　本文是一篇記敘文，屬于故事類短文。在鬧饑荒的時候，一個富有的面包師找來鎮上最窮的20個孩子，每天給他們一塊面包。除了Gretchen外，其他的孩子都搶大一點的面包，而最終Gretchen卻得到了面包師慷慨贈送的銀幣。

　　1．A.Take B．Buy

　　C．Order D．Smell

　　C．basket D．bag

　　：B。由語境可知，Gretchen，(bread)切開。

　　13．A.surprised B．pleased

　　C．terrified D．excited
