Lying in the sun on a rock, the cougar（美洲豹）saw Jeb and his son, Tom, before they saw it. Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.
Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb.
“Tom, no!” shouted his father.
But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted.
Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws（爪子）got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father.
“Knife, Tom,” shouted Jeb.
The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.
The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds.
小题1:Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?| A．To get ready to fight. | B．To frighten it away. | | C．To protect the boy. | D．To cool down. |
小题2:What do we know about cougars?| A．They are afraid of noises. | | B．They hesitate before they hit. | | C．They are bigger than we think. | | D．They like to attack running people. |
小题3:Which of the following happened first?| A．The cougar jumped from the rock. | | B．Tom struggled free of his father. | | C．Jeb asked Tom to get the knife. | | D．Jeb held Tom across his body. |

答案
小题1:B
小题2:D
小题3:D |
解析
试题分析：文章讲述了勇敢的父亲Jeb为保护儿子Tom和美洲豹斗志斗勇的故事。为了显得比美洲豹大，Jeb先是展开自己的外衣，然后又把儿子横放在身上，正当美洲豹要跑开时，儿子害怕挣脱了父亲跑开了，结果差一点成为美洲豹的口中餐。为了吸引美洲豹的注意力，父亲只好挺身而出，和美洲豹厮打起来。儿子跑回来从包里拿出一把刀，两人合力打跑了美洲豹。
小题1:细节理解题。 第一段的第二句话和第三句话的意思是：Jeb 很快放下他的包，用双手展开他的夹克衫，使自己看上去比这只美洲豹个大。这的确管用了。所以他想把美洲豹吓跑。故选B。
小题2:推理判断题。根据第四段Jeb 的反应和美洲豹的动作。Jeb的儿子Tom 挣脱父亲跑开了，在这一瞬间，Jeb扑向从岩石上跳起来的美洲豹，他们在半空中厮打起来，都摔倒了。美洲豹瞬间骑在Jeb身上，忘掉了Tom，这正是Jeb想要的结果。由此判断美洲豹喜欢攻击跑着的人。故选D。
小题3:细节理解题。根据全文理解。事情发生的顺序是D—B—A—C。故选D。 |

While Christmas shopping in a jewelry store, I discovered a table of golden ornaments (饰品) on sale. So beautiful in 41 ,each had a personality of its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, 42 a few and took them home.

Some people in our community 51 had a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t 52 with holiday decorations.
I nodded my head in determined 53 . They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. 54 the plan my husband showed great enthusiasm (热情) and we set out together to put it into 55 .
We visited the aged, the widowed (寡居的) and the lonely. Each one was 56 at our cheerful stop and 57 hung our small gifts — often the 58 signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with 59 and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas. We were glad that our 60 did make sense and we found our Christmas spirit in doing and giving.

LONDON---A British judge on Thursday sentenced a businessman who sold fake（假冒的）bomb detectors（探测器）to 10 years in prison, saying the man hadn’t cared about potentially deadly consequences.
It is believed that James McCormick got about $ 77.8 million from the sales of his detectors---which were based on a kind of golf ball finder---to countries including Iraq, Belgium and Saudi Arabia.
McCormick, 57, was convicted（判罪）of cheats last month and sentenced Thursday at the Old Bailey court in London.
“Your cheating conduct in selling a great amount of useless equipment simply for huge profit promoted a false sense of security and in all probability materially contributed to causing death and injury to innocent people,” Judge Richard Hone told McCormick. “You have neither regret, nor shame, nor any sense of guilt.”
The detectors, sold for up to $ 42, 000 each, were said to be able to find such dangerous objects as bombs under water and from the air. But in fact they “lacked any grounding in science” and were of no use.
McCormick had told the court that he sold his detectors to the police in Kenya, the prison service in Hong Kong, the army in Egypt and the border control in Thailand.
“I never had any bad results from customers,” he said.
小题1:Why was McCormick sentenced to prison?| A．He sold bombs. | B．He caused death of people. | | C．He made detectors. | D．He cheated in business. |
小题2:According to the judge, what McCormick had done .| A．increased the cost of safeguarding | | B．lowered people’s guard against danger | | C．changed people’s idea of social security | | D．caused innocent people to commit crimes |
小题3:Which of the following is true of the detectors?| A．They have not been sold to Africa | | B．They have caused many serious problems. | | C．They can find dangerous objects in water. | | D．They don’t function on the basis of science. |
小题4:It can be inferred from the passage that McCormick .| A．solo the equipment at a low price | | B．was well-known in most countries | | C．did not think he had committed the crime | | D．had not got such huge profit as mentioned in the text |
