Members of the Ursrey family, eight in total, were enjoying an evening together at the beach. As the sun sank lower on the horizon（地平線）, the two boysNoah, 11, and Stephen, 8took their skateboards and walked into the waves without the grown-ups noticing. When the boys were about 70 yards from shore, they realized that the ocean pulled them out to sea. After trying and failing to paddle（涉水）back, they started waving and screaming for help. But the lifeguards had clocked out for the evening.The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Brittany and Tabatha Monroe, a married couple from Georgia, wandered by. They didnt see the boys at first, but they heard them.They jumped into the water and easily reached the brothers, who were still in fairly shallow water. The woman reassured the frightened boys and seized their skateboards, telling them they would be safe and then discovered that they, too, were now in a world of trouble. They couldnt get back to shore and could barely and only occasionally hit the sandy bottom with their feet. After a few minutes, it was clear to the woman that they were all trapped in a terrible whirlpool.Then scores of tourists were walking to them, hand in hand, forming a line. Soon the first person held the womans hand. In turn, her husband and the two boys joined her. The long line moved slowly until they were back to the safety of the beach.The rescuers call it the Human Chain. But it was the deeply “human” aspect of the rescuers cooperation（合作）that made it so astonishing and successful.28. What happened to the two boys?A. They got into deep sea by chance. B. They couldnt be seen in the sea.C. They went out without supper. D. They met with danger in the sea.29. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Saved. B. Comforted. C.

It moved fast.31. What made the four persons in the sea escape the risky situation?A. Team spirit. B. Confidence. C. Good luck. D. Bravery.【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。文章敘述的是兩個男孩在海上遇到危險，一對年輕的夫婦Brittany和Tabatha Monroe跳進水里去救人，告訴男孩他們將是安全的，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)水流的很快，他們自己也被困。最后其他游客一起組成“人鏈”把這四個人拉到岸上。28. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中After trying and failing to paddle（涉水）back, they started waving and screaming for help.和第三段中The boys had been struggling for several minutes when Brittany and Tabatha Monroe, a married couple from Georgia, wandered by.可知，這兩個男孩在海上遇到了危險。故選D。29. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第四段中The woman reassured the frightened boys and seized their skateboards, telling them they would be safe and then discovered that they, too, were now in a world of trouble. 這名女子向受驚的男孩們保證，并抓住他們的滑板，告訴他們他們將是安全的，然后發(fā)現(xiàn)他們也在一個麻煩的世界里。由此推知劃線詞的意思是“使得到安慰”，故選B。30. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中They couldnt get back to shore and could barely and only occasionally hit the sandy bottom with their feet. After a few minutes, it was clear to the woman that they were all trapped in a terrible whirlpool.可知，沒多久，這對夫婦就被困，這說明水流的速度很快。故選D。31. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段The rescuers call it the Human Chain. But it was the deeply “human” aspect of the rescuers cooperation（合作）that made it so astonishing and successful.可知，“團隊精神”使這四個人在海上逃脫了危險的處境。故選A。DYou may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of Englands rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.32. What does the author stress about the French words in English?A. Their spelling forms. B. Their changes in history.C. Their puzzles for English. D. Their different meanings.33. What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat?A. He likes a kind of pet. B. He wants to have a talk.C. He hates to speak English. D. He prefers to chat in French.34. What is the French word “jolie” used to do?A. Replace “jolly” in English. B. Describe peoples looks.C. Refer to peoples happiness. D. Prove the change in French.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Comparison between two languages. B. Difficulty in grasping English.C. French words in English. D. Development of English.【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. C【解析】這是一篇說明文。文章講述了英語中存在大量法語詞匯的現(xiàn)象。本文講述的是“英語中的法語單詞”。文中舉例說明了它們不同的含義。諾曼人對英國長期的統(tǒng)治，給英語帶來了大量的法語詞匯，但意思有差別，有的差別非常大。32. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.可知，作者對英語中的法語單詞強調(diào)了它們的不同含義。故選D。33. 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.可知，如果一個法國人說他喜歡a chat，他的意思是“他喜歡一種寵物?！保驗樵诜ㄕZ里chat是cat的意思，故選A。34. 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)最后一段中But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.可知，在法語中，jolie的意思是說某人長得好看或看上去是令人愉快的。無論如何，這兩件事對某人來說都是件好事。由此可知劃線詞在法語里是用來“描述人的外表?！惫蔬xB。35. 主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段第一句You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French.和Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language.可知，本文講述的是“英語中的法語單詞”。故選C?！军c睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關(guān)鍵詞句來概括(如議論文中尋找表達作者觀點態(tài)度的詞句，記敘文尋找概括情節(jié)和中心的動詞或反映人物特點的形容詞)。文中出現(xiàn)兩種或兩種以上的不同觀點時，務(wù)必牢記作者的觀點才是體現(xiàn)全文中心的。本題第4小題，本文第一段是文章的主題段，指出本文主要講的是“英語中的法語單詞”。故選C。第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)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。Compared to the history of China, the history of the United States is quite short. _36_ In 1776, 13 colonies（殖民地）located on the eastern coast of North America declared independence and fought a revolution against the British. In 1783 the colonists won the revolution and gained their independence.After the revolution, the United States bought a large section of country from Napoleon of France. This purchase doubled（加倍）the size of the United States. _37_ If he hadnt needed that money, the United States might have stayed a small country. Texas and most of what is now the southwestern part of the United States belonged to Mexico. The people of Texas fought a revolution against Mexico. _38_ Later, the United States and Mexico went to war. If Mexico had defeated the United States in that war, California and New Mexico would have been part of Mexico today.The British and the Americans both claimed the northwestern part of the country. They settled their differences with a compromise. South of the 49th parallel was the United States. North of the 49th parallel was Canada. In 1861 one half of the United States di
