二、用所給短語的適當(dāng)形式填空

1.failedto2.makeuseof3.hadaneffecton4.insuchaway

5.ontheedgeof6.narrowescape7.onmyway8.atthemoment

三、閱讀理解

1.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Helefthishomewithalight

heart,andexpectedtobuythebooks.”可知，湯米希望從他母

親那里得到錢后能買一些漂亮的書。故選C項。

2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“Themanagainshookhishead,

forhecouldnotunderstandorspeakhislanguage.“可知，湯

米跟這個可憐的人說話時他搖頭是因為他不明白這個男孩的意思。故

選A項。

3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Bealwaysreadytohelp

othersandeveryChristmasofyourlifewillbecometoyoua

MerryChristinas."可知，作者試圖鼓勵我們隨時準(zhǔn)備幫助別人。故

選B項。

4.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中“'Oh,mydearboy,'said

hismother,'herearesomebooksforyou,moreasaprizefor

yourgoodnessofheartthanasaChristmasgift.可知，湯

米因為他的善良得到了獎勵。故選A項。

5.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“Smallerbitsofparticles

（微粒）stayintheairforaweekorlongerandcanbeblown

thousandsofmilesaway.”可知,較小的粒子能在空中待一個星期

或更長時間，然后可以被吹到數(shù)千英里之外。故可推知C項正確。

6.D主旨大意題。根據(jù)第二段的主要內(nèi)容可知，沙塵暴的可怕

之處在于，它可以蔓延數(shù)百英里，上升到1萬英尺（3050米）以上。

故可知本段主要講述的是沙塵暴的威力，此題易誤選A項，但A項說

的是“風(fēng)的速度”，而不是“沙塵暴的速度”，故選擇D。

7.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“Ifyouareinacarduring

aduststorm,remindthedrivertopulloverandturnoffthe

headlights."
