‎2019届二轮复习阅读理解专题记叙文类型模拟试题10篇训练之三十九 ‎[一]‎ A walker seriously injured in a mountaintop lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.‎ A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous (同时发生的) incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”‎ Mark Jones, of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.‎ The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.‎ The organisation’s delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We’d advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities ‎ even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly — especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”‎ ‎“If there is no shelter you should keep moving. And if you become the tallest object, crouch (蹲) in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground through the other.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇报道。在南威尔士的Brecon Beacons,闪电击中了四人，导致两人死亡，两人受伤。文中Elly Hannigan Prop提出了在雷电天气中的一些安全措施。‎ ‎9．What can we learn about the victims of the incident?‎ A．Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.‎ B．The bodies of the two men haven’t been found.‎ C．The four men involved may be from the same country.‎ D．The police cannot contact the two dead men’s relatives.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“All men were believed to be from England.”可知，这四个人很可能来自同一个国家。‎ ‎10．Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?‎ A．Because the accident is very serious.‎ B．To announce where the victims come from.‎ C．Because the police are looking into the accident.‎ D．To tell the readers some facts of the incident.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。作者在第二段中提到警方发言人并引用她的话，为的是告诉读者与事件相关的一些事实。‎ ‎11．What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?‎ A．Unusual. B．Regular.‎ C．Unimportant. D．Frightening.‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service”可知，在南威尔士的Brecon Beacons，闪电击中人的事件不常见。‎ ‎12．What do the last two paragraphs tell us?‎ A．Harm done by lightning.‎ B．Warnings from a delivery officer.‎ C．First aid in a lightning incident.‎ D．Safety tips on a lightning strike.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。通读最后两段的内容并根据其中的关键词“advise”可知，最后两段主要讲述的是在雷电天气中的一些安全措施。‎ ‎[二]‎ When my son was first diagnosed with autism(自闭症),it was a very hard time for us. However, in some ways it was a relief, because we finally had a name for what was going on in our lives, but it also meant years of uncertainty, and we didn’t know what the future was like. ‎ When I shared the news with my co-workers, I was so surprised and happy to receive so much immediate love and support from them. They were focused on what we needed, as opposed to how it would affect my ability to make it to work.‎ One co-worker, Jackie, in particular, was amazing to my family and me. She called me into her office a few days later, and gave me a “ worry stone” .It gives you something to focus on when you’re worried, rubbing your thumb around on this stone. It was a lovely gesture.‎ She then extended a permanent offer to drive us to any appointments or tests we needed. Considering the fact that we lived 90 minutes from where most treatment took place, this was a tremendous offer. She made it very clear to me that this offer included last-minute trips or emergencies. Anytime we needed to go anywhere, she was willing to be our transportation. She said that we needed to be able to focus on our son instead of having to divide our attention between the road and him.‎ We never did need to take her up on her wonderful offer, but knowing it was there and that she was so willing to help made it feel like we were much less alone.‎ ‎【语篇解读】本文是人物故事类阅读。作者讲述了自己儿子被确诊患有自闭症后,经历了一个非常艰难的时期。在这段最需要帮助的时候,自己周围的人尤其是自己的同事给予了自己及时的帮助。‎ ‎1. What does “a relief” refer to in the first paragraph?‎ A. My son’s recovery from the disease.‎ B. The help from my co-workers.‎ C. Knowing what my boy’s problem is.‎ D. The sign of a better future.‎ 答案C 解析词义猜测题。根据第一段首句“When my son was first diagnosed with autism (自闭症),it was a very hard time for us. However, in some ways it was a relief, because we finally had a name for what was going on in our lives...”可知,儿子被诊断出患有自闭症,这让作者夫妇生活艰难,但值得欣慰的是,至少知道了儿子到底出什么问题了。答案为C项。‎ ‎2. Why did the co-worker offer to drive for us?‎ A. She is a more experienced driver.‎ B. We live far away from the hospital.‎ C. She lives very close to our house.‎ D. She wishes to reduce our worries.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句“Anytime we needed to go anywhere, she was willing to be our transportation. She said that we needed to be able to focus on our son instead of having to divide our attention between the road and him.”可知,这位同事愿意为作者夫妇开车,这样作者夫妇就不用在开车和儿子之间分心了。答案为D项。‎ ‎3. What does the writer think of the offer by Jackie?‎ A. It’s a great comfort. B. It’s a last-minute offer.‎ C. It’s not necessary. D. It’s a difficult decision for her.‎ 答案A 解析推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,Jackie送给作者一个“忧虑石”。当你担心的时候,它会分散你的一些注意力,减少一个人的压力,安慰紧张的心理,以及根据第四段的内容,可知答案为A项。‎ ‎4. What might be the best title for the text?‎ A. Years of Uncertainty B. The Most Generous Woman C. In Time of Need D.A Story of Sacrifice 答案C 解析主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者讲述了自己虽遭遇不幸,但在最需要帮助的时候,自己周围的人尤其是同事给予及时的帮助,因此C项符合题意。‎ ‎[三]‎ On her first day tutoring students from low-income families at an after-school program in New York City, Alyssa Kapasi noticed how many kids were lining up for free sandwiches and fruit in the cafeteria. Many of these students don' t get enough to eat at home, so a school lunch or an after-school meal might be the most food they would get all day. ‎ Kapasi, who attends private school, was shocked. She was determined to help. "I want other kids to understand that if you see a problem, you don' t have to wait to be an adult to fix it," says Kapasi. She and a group of friends are now putting their programming skills to work to create a mobile app called Food For Thought. Through the application, parents will be able to pay for their own children' s meal and will be presented with an option to donate 2-3 dollars to pay for a meal of another student. Other donors will also be able to donate money to help children get lunch in their community.‎ One creative characteristic of the app is that the receivers of the contributions will be anonymous. To receive financial help, a family will need only a recommendation from a school administrator, and no one else has to know. "I want to make my platform an application that all users feel no shame in using," says Kapasi. ‎ ‎"It astonished us that in one of the wealthiest and most advanced countries in the world there are still communities that are going hungry. By giving parents an easy option, we encourage their giving and raise their awareness that there are students in their children’s school who are in need," Kapasi says. She hopes to have the app ready to be used in New York City-based schools during the new school year.‎ ‎24. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1 ?‎ ‎ A. Explain how shocked Kapasi was. B. Evaluate Kapasi' s experience as a volunteer.‎ ‎ C. Tell how the idea for the app came to Kapasi. D. Describe how the after-school program went on.‎ ‎25. What can the app be used to do'?‎ ‎ A. Teach students to be independent. B. Improve students' programming skills.‎ ‎ C. Buy school lunches for children in need. D. Allow parents to keep in touch with their children.‎ ‎26. Which of the following best explains "anonymous" underlined in Paragraph 3 ?‎ ‎ A. Inspired. B. Selective. C. Certain. D. Unnamed.‎ ‎27. What is Kapasi’s future plan.'?‎ ‎ A. To use the app in some schools. B. To encourage students to donate.‎ ‎ C. To get more parents to visit schools. D. To make parents aware of world hunger. ‎ 参考答案：24-27．CCDA ‎[四]‎ Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Mandarin(普通话) class, he quickly changed his mind.‎ ‎ “I thought Mandarin would be more beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language.‎ ‎ He speaks Mandarin to order food at Chinese restaurants and can read social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school junior, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.‎ ‎ Many experts agree that proficiency(熟练) in a language spoken by a billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.‎ ‎ “People are looking at China as our next economic competitor, and interest in Mandarin is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council(议会) on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”‎ Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Mandarin in public and private schools throughout the US. She said the US government has designated (指定) Mandarin as an “important needs” language and provides professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.‎ ‎ At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Mandarin.‎ ‎24. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Mandarin instead of Latin?‎ ‎ A. Mandarin was easier to learn than Latin.‎ ‎ B. Mandarin could be helpful to his future career.‎ ‎ C. Mandarin might help him learn more about China.‎ ‎ D. Mandarin could enable him to study computer engineering.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.‎ ‎ A. a slight advantage B. the outside limit ‎ C. a sharp tone of voice D. an exciting quality ‎26. Which of the following statements might Marty Abbott agree with?‎ ‎ A. Mandarin should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.‎ ‎ B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.‎ ‎ C. The US government’s policy has helped popularize Mandarin in the US.‎ ‎ D. Americans learn Mandarin because they worry about their national security.‎ ‎27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?‎ ‎ A. The rising popularity of Mandarin among American students.‎ ‎ B. The great benefits of learning Mandarin for American students.‎ ‎ C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.‎ ‎ D. The effect of Confucius Institutes in promoting Mandarin in the US.‎ 参考答案：24. B 25. A 26. C 27. A ‎[五]‎ About 150 million years ago, in Montana, a young dinosaur roamed through a land. Not yet five years old, the long-necked creature somehow ended up buried in a violent and muddy flood, forever freezing it in adolescence.‎ Now, researchers have found this potentially record-setting dinosaur. After uncovering the remains,‎ ‎ the scientists argue that the skull (烦骨) is the smallest yet found from a group of long-necked dinosaurs called Diplodocus (梁龙). The little fellow even has a nickname ： Andrew, after Andrew Carnegie, who funded the research, and there is a Diplodocus species named after him.‎ With its skull just 10 inches across , researchers’ best guess is that Andrew was a juvenile Diplodocus—an especially rare find. While more than a hundred Diplodocus samples have been discovered, their skulls are much rarer. Fewer than a dozen have been dug up to date. If the researchers’ reconstruction is correct, Andrew’s skull could be the smallest and least mature Diplodocus skull ever found, potentially providing insights into the dinosaur’s development.‎ Kristi Curry Rogers, a paleontologist at Macalester College in Minnesota doesn’t fully agree with the findings because of the poor preservation of the fossil (化石). Andrew’s skull is missing parts of the cheek, palate and lower jaw, plus the fossils are slightly pressed. These problems make it hard to reconstruct the skull, let alone infer the dinosaur’s behavior from it.‎ ‎“The researchers don’t address the damage of the skull or the missing components of the face in any great detail, which could easily change the explanations,” she said in an email.‎ For now, Diplodocus is the best guess for Andrew’s identity, but it could also be an unknown species. To help settle the debate, Andrew’s skull is currently being 3-D scanned for future research.‎ ‎24. What did the researchers discover?‎ A. The youngest Diplodocus. B. The biggest dinosaur skull.‎ C. A rare dinosaur fossil. D. A species of Diplodocuses.‎ ‎25. The underlined word “juvenile” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “_________”.‎ A. young B. strong C. ancient D. dead ‎26. Why does Rogers disagree with the researchers’ guess?‎ A. The researchers have lost some parts of the fossil.‎ B. The guess of the fossil lacks enough evidence.‎ C. She couldn’t understand the researchers’ explanations.‎ D. She has his own opinions about the dinosaur’s development.‎ ‎ 参考答案：24-26 CAB ‎[六]‎ Firefighters in Harrisburg, North Carolina responded to a routine medical call this week, but what they did after certainly went above and beyond the call of duty.‎ FOX 46 Charlotte reported that the firefighters of Engine-3 were dispatched for a medical call and the patient needed to be transported to the hospital by ambulance. The patient’s wife needed to join him, leaving the two children alone at home until their grandparents could arrive. “Sometimes we do what needs to be done,” the firefighters shared on Facebook. “The parents of these two guys needed to get to the hospital by ambulance and it was going to be about 30 minutes till Grandpa could make it from another county. The crew of Engine-3 came to the rescue! The guys enjoyed being awesome kid sitters till their grandpa arrived, and we love our community.”‎ While none of the first responders at the scene have children of their own, they proved to be naturals when it came to the babysitting service. Members of Engine 3 posted photos of themselves playing with the young boys.‎ The Harrisburg community commended the firefighters for stepping in on Facebook, with one writing “you and your crew went above and beyond again. Sometimes the job isn’t all about going to fires.” Another added: “That is just so precious and makes me smile, thank you guys for being good neighbors as well as protecting our community!”‎ Just in September, the firefighters in Harrisburg brought a smile to another boy’s face when they celebrated his third birthday after his friends had to cancel. Jackson’s mother, Melissa Reid, said at the time, “They saved my son’s birthday and this is something he’ll never forget.”‎ ‎28．What did the firefighters do for the medical call?‎ They put a boy’s photo on Facebook.‎ They took care of two children for the patient.‎ They performed a medical treatment on the spot.‎ They rushed the patient to hospital in 30 minutes.‎ ‎29．The underlined part in paragraph 3 refers to “ ”.‎ A．get to the patient’s house B．send the patient to hospital C．put out the fire immediately D．come to the patient’s rescue in time ‎30．What can we know from the passage?‎ A．The patient’s wife also got seriously sick.‎ B．The kids didn’t enjoy staying with the firefighters.‎ C．The kids’ mother thought badly of firefighters’ service.‎ D．The firefighters helped another boy above the call of duty.‎ ‎31．What do the people there think about firefighters’ acts?‎ A．Firefighters’ acts should be limited.‎ B．Firefighters should put out fires first.‎ C．Firefighters’ acts are within their duty.‎ D．Firefighters’ acts deserve people’s admiration。‎ 参考答案：28-31．BADD ‎[七]‎ Growing up in one of the poorest communities with most crimes in Los Angeles, US, being raised by a poorly-educated single mother and attending the worst-quality public school, not many people expected much of me,so I chose to expect something of myself.‎ On my 12th birthday ,I bought a poster of Harvard University to hang in my room. Being at Harvard became my dream—I saw myself attending class in Sanders Theater, studying in Widener Library and eating in Annenberg Hall. Driven by this dream, I kept studying hard. I’d begin my day by asking myself these two questions—What do I want in my life? Are the things I am doing today going to get me closer to that life?‎ Asking myself the questions gave me the courage to ask over 50 Harvard students for advice on my application essays, it gave me the energy to study just one more hour on my SATs when others were asleep, and it gave me the determination to apply for just one more scholarship when already refused many times. Moreover, reminding myself of my goal each day made it easy to say no to the same choices my friends made, because they would never get me closer to my goal. I found that even being poor could not take away my power to decide what I chose to do with my life.‎ Every day I could feel myself getting closer and closer to my goal as my writing got better, my SAT score increased, and my scholarship offers started coming in. On March 31st,2011,an email arrived from Harvard. The first word was “Congratulations!”.Tears of joy filled my eyes .Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today. Who do you want to be tomorrow?‎ ‎【语篇导读】作者虽早年生活于一个很差的环境中,但在12岁时有了一个哈佛梦。从此在这个梦的驱使下,作者一直不断地努力学习,最终达到了自己的目标。作者要告诉我们的是即使贫穷也无法剥夺我们决定为自己选择人生的权力——你的选择决定了你是谁。‎ ‎1. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. It describes the author’s early living conditions.‎ B. It proves that the author once lived an unhappy life.‎ C. It shows how many people treated the author badly.‎ D. It shares the author’s dream with readers.‎ 答案　A解析　段落大意题。根据第一段的介绍可知,作者描述了自己从小生活的环境,即早年的生活状况,因此通过分析可知A项符合题意。‎ ‎2. What is the author’s attitude to the hardship?‎ A. Disappointed. B. Positive.‎ C. Thankful. D. Sorrowful.‎ 答案　B解析　推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者虽早年生活于一个很差的环境,在12岁时有了一个哈佛梦。从此在这个梦的驱使下,一直不断地努力学习,最终达到了自己的目标。所以作者是用一种积极的态度应对困境。‎ ‎3. What did the author want to tell us most?‎ A.A famous university, a successful life.‎ B. The earlier you set yourself a goal, the better.‎ C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.‎ D. Your choices determine who you are.‎ 答案　D解析　主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的 “Who you are today is the result of the decisions you made yesterday, and who you will be tomorrow will be the result of the choices you make today.”(你今天是谁,是你昨天做出的决定的结果,明天你将是谁,这将是你今天做出的选择的结果。)可知D项“你的选择决定了你是谁。”是最佳答案。‎ ‎[八]‎ About a month after I joined Facebook, I got a call from Lori Goler,a highly regarded senior director of marketing at eBay. She made it clear that this was a business call. “I want to apply to work with you at Facebook,” she said. “Instead of recommending myself, I want to ask you—What is your biggest problem, and can I help to solve it?”‎ My jaw hit the floor. I had hired thousands of people over the previous decade and no one had ever said anything remotely like that. People usually focus on finding the right role for themselves, with the implication that their skills will help the company. Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center. It was a killer approach. I responded, “Recruiting is my biggest problem. And, yes, you can solve it.”‎ Lori never thought she would work in recruiting ,but she jumped in. Lori did a great job running recruiting and within months was promoted to her current job, leading people at Facebook.‎ The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers. As of 2010,the average American had eleven jobs from the ages of eighteen to forty-six alone. Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor—Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.‎ As Lori describes it, there’s only one way to get to the top of a ladder, but there are many ways to get to the top of a jungle gym. The jungle gym model benefits everyone, but especially women who might be starting careers, switching careers, getting blocked by external barriers, or reentering the workforce after taking time off. The ability to create a unique path with occasional dips, detours (弯路),and even dead ends presents great views of many people, not just those at the top. On a ladder, most climbers are stuck staring at the butt of the person above.‎ ‎【语篇导读】“我”在入职Facebook一个月后接到一位名叫劳瑞·戈勒的电话,她明确告诉“我”她是eBay的高级营销主管,准备跳槽Facebook。“我”为她的勇气折服,她也如愿以偿。人们常用“梯子”比喻跳槽,其实不如“攀登架”更形象。‎ ‎1. Why did Lori make the call?‎ A. She helped Facebook to solve the biggest problem.‎ B. She wanted to make a business deal with Facebook.‎ C. She tried to ask for a pay rise at Facebook.‎ D. She wanted to become an employee at Facebook.‎ 答案　D解析　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“I want to apply to work with you at Facebook”可知,Lori Goler打电话的目的是想要成为Facebook的员工,故D项正确。‎ ‎2. What impressed me by Lori?‎ A. Lori was good at running recruiting.‎ B. Lori attached great importance to Facebook’s needs.‎ C. Lori jumped in Facebook with no adequate experience.‎ D. Lori was skilled in marketing at eBay.‎ 答案　B解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“My jaw hit the floor.”和第四句“Lori put Facebook’s needs front and center.”可知,Lori把Facebook的需求放在首位和中心,这给我留下了深刻的印象,故B项正确。‎ ‎3. What can we infer from the passage?‎ A. Now all people don’t tend to climb the ladder.‎ B. None on the ladder can enjoy the great views.‎ C. Jungle gyms offer limited exploration for employees.‎ D.A pregnant woman, jobless, benefits little from the jungle gyms.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“The most common metaphor for careers is a ladder, but this concept no longer applies to most workers.”可知,职业生涯中最常见的比喻是“梯子”,但这个概念不再适用于大多数工人。据此可以判断,并非所有人都热衷于“爬梯子”求职,故A项正确。‎ ‎4. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. It’s a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder B. Facebook’s Biggest Problem C. Applying for a Job in Facebook D.A Jungle Gym is Better than a Ladder 答案　A解析　主旨大意题。第四段尾句“Lori often quotes Pattie Sellers, who came up with a much better metaphor—Careers are a jungle gym, not a ladder.”为文章的主题句。结合全文内容可知,本文以eBay 高级营销跳槽去Facebook的故事来说明“跳槽不是登梯,而是爬上攀登架”,故A项最适合作为本文标题。‎ ‎[九]‎ It was dawn of March 21,2018.Gary Messina was on his morning run along New York City’s East River. Suddenly something caught his eye—a large 60-year-old man balancing on the four-foot-high fence that guarded the path from the water. As Messina got closer to the scene, the man took a step forward and slipped into the dark river below.‎ When Messina reached nearer, the man was struggling in the water, clearly unable to swim. Other joggers also heard the man’s cry. David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in. “People had called the police, but it was unclear when they’d get there,” says Green. “We just reacted.” Messina joined them in the river. Just as the jumper was losing strength, Blauzvern took hold of him. The pair were about 30 yards from the seawall when Messina and Green caught up to them. They seized the man, with Blauzvern supporting his back and Messina and Green holding him up from either side. As the men made their way toward the concrete seawall that stretched for blocks in each direction,Blauzvern had an awful realization—there was no way out of the river.‎ By now, a crowd had gathered on land. “A rescue boat is on its way,” someone yelled to them. Swimming forward was getting tougher by the minute. The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers’ arms. After ten minutes, they managed to get to the river’s edge. “I’ve never been so out of breath,” says Blauzvern.‎ Fifteen minutes after the men had jumped into the river, the two-man rescue boat appeared. But because it couldn’t risk getting too close to the seawall, the men had to swim out to it. “I was completely out of energy at this point,” says Blauzvern. The men in the water pushed the jumper while the men in the boat pulled him up and, finally, to safety. The man they had saved was taken to the hospital for evaluation(评估).Details on his condition had not been released. As for the rescuers, each of them was at work by 10:30am.“I was a bit late,” admitted Blauzvern, smiling. “But I had a good excuse.”‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文讲述了一个落水男人被人救起的感人故事。‎ ‎1.The story mainly centers around 　　　. ‎ A. why the old man slipped into the river B. who saved the old man C. how the man was rescued D. when and where the accident happened 答案　C解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了一个男人落水后如何被人救起的故事,故选C项。‎ ‎2. Who was the third to jump into the water and join in the rescue?‎ A. Gary Messina. B. David Blauzvern.‎ C. John Green. D. An unknown jogger.‎ 答案　A解析　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“David Blauzvern and John Green dropped their phones and keys on land and jumped in.”和“Messina joined them in the river.”可知,第三个跳进水里的是Gary Messina。‎ ‎3. Of the following statements, which one sounds reasonable based on the passage?‎ A. The rescued man is rather tall and fat.‎ B. Police would never be found on the spot of rescue.‎ C. The process of rescuing the man took up the whole morning.‎ D. The man was actually saved by the two-man rescue boat.‎ 答案　A解析　推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“The jumper, who was six foot two and weighed around 260 pounds, was heavy in his rescuers’ arms.”可知,跳进水里的人身高六英尺多,体重260磅,因此推断获救的人又高又胖。‎ ‎4. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. The man wanted to commit suicide in the river.‎ B. The men in the river were all good swimmers.‎ C. The man was taken home immediately he was saved.‎ D. Blauzvern felt at ease even if he was late for work that day.‎ 答案　D解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“‘I was a bit late,’ admitted Blauzvern, smiling. ‘But I had a good excuse.’”可知,Blauzvern承认他那天上班迟到了,但是他觉得自己有很好的理由,因此推断即使那天他上班迟到了,他也感到很坦然。‎ ‎[十]‎ On a cool morning, Wilson Kasaine heads out along a dirt path in southern Kenya. His calmness makes it easy to forget that he’s tracking one of the most dangerous animals in the world. Kasaine is tracking lions—especially one lion called Marti, who is the real-life Lion King of Selenkay Conservancy.‎ Tracking lions on foot may sound like a death wish, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born into a traditional Masai family, he quickly grew to understand the beauty and danger of wildlife. Living with big wild animals forces him to develop a good sense of where they have been and where they may be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.‎ Growing up, Kasaine knew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid surprise meetings with dangerous animals. For many Masais, tracking is mainly a matter of self-protection. But Kasaine is tracking ‎ lions to meet them and to protect them. He leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over the red sandy path, searching for the lions’ paw prints.‎ Each year, thousands of tourists crowd Kenya’s national parks to try to have a look at the “big five”—elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes and lions. The international draw of these animals matters a lot because the nation’s economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenya’s wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.‎ Wildlife protection in Kenya meant marking off land exclusively(专门地) for animals. But it also meant that the people who had originally lived in the area were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding areas. They are also finding it increasingly hard to keep a traditional Masai lifestyle. But people are glad that it really makes a difference to wildlife protection.‎ ‎【语篇导读】文章主要介绍了肯尼亚为保护野生动物而做出的努力。‎ ‎1 .How did Kasaine track lions?‎ A. By working together with tourists.‎ B. By running after them all the time.‎ C. By going to school every day.‎ D. By studying their paw prints.‎ 答案　D解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“...he learned how to tell the paw prints (爪印) of a lion from those of other animals.”以及第三段最后一句中的“...searching for the lions’ paw prints.”可知应选D项。‎ ‎2. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?‎ A. Masai people are born animal-lovers.‎ B. Tourism is a big threat to Kenya’s wildlife.‎ C. Kenya benefits a lot from its wildlife protection.‎ D.
