One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we"d have for ages to take a
trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again. Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago
and it was a dull cold day. Sunday couldn"t have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel
like summer, although it was still -25°C.
Six of us drove to the coast. It was the first time we"d been off the base on our own without our field
assistant, so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic
field trip! When we reached Windy Creek, we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds, which
are seldom seen there.
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main
group to come and check us out. We"d been told that then they were nursing their chicks (刚孵出的幼雏)
and they would be more careful and nervous than last time, but that didn"t seem to be the case. We walked
across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast. We sat down for some
sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers. Without any attackers on land,
they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose (摆姿势) for photos.
Before heading back, we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks, which
had grown dramatically (明显地) since our last visit. It was such a nice day. |
| 1. When did the trip most probably happen? |
A. On a dull Sunday.
B. On a warm Sunday.
C. On a summer Sunday.
D. On a winter Sunday. |
| 2. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the six people _____. |
A. felt a little nervous
B. felt a little excited
C. were left all by themselves on their Antarctic base
D. got bored with staying with their field assistant |
| 3. What does the writer mean by saying "but that didn"t seem to be the case"? |
A. They were told a lie.
B. A wrong decision was made.
C. The truth was the opposite.
D. They didn"t believe what they were told. |
| 4. The six people did the following during the trip EXCEPT _____. |
A. feed the penguins
B. take pictures of the penguins
C. enjoy watching flying seabirds
D. watch the young penguins |

D. discovery | | 阅读理解。 | Sam, an unemployed piano tuner, said it was only the second thing he had ever won in his life. The
first thing was an Afghan blanket at a church raffle (抽奖) when he was 25 years old. But this was much
bigger: it was $120,000! He had won the Big Cube, a state lottery (彩票) game. To win, a contestant must
first guess which number a spinning cube will stop on. The cube has six numbers on it: 1X, 10X, 50X,
100X, 500X, and 1000X.If he is correct, the contestant must then guess which of two selected variables
(变量) is going to be greater. So, just guessing which number appears on the cube does not guarantee that
you will win any money.
Sam correctly guessed 1000X, but he still had to choose between two variables. One variable was the
number of cars that would run the stop sign at Hill Street and Lake Avenue in six hours. The other variable
was the number of times that a teenage boy would change TV channels in a three-hour period. This was a
tough decision.
Finally, Sam flipped a coin. It came up heads, so Sam picked the teenager. He picked right. The stop
sign was run only 76 times, but the teen clicked 120 times. Sixty-year-old Sam jumped for joy, for he had
just won 1000 times 120, or $120,000.Sam dreamily left the lottery studio. Talking excitedly on his cell
phone while crossing the street, he got hit by a little sports car.
Sam is slowly getting better. He was in the hospital for a month.His hospital bill was $110,000.And the
insurance company for the little sports car"s owner sued (起诉) Sam for $9,000 worth of repairs. Also,
Sam still has to pay federal taxes on his winnings. Sam doesn"t play the state lottery any more. He says it"s
better to be unlucky. | | 1.What can be inferred about Sam from the passage? | A. He always has bad luck.
B. He seldom goes to a raffle.
C. He is a very careful person in life.
D. He used to be crazy about lottery tickets. | | 2.Which of the following played a vital role in Sam"s winning the big prize? | A. The cube.
B. The coin.
C. The blanket.
D. The stop sign. | | 3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? | A. The lottery game was a complete lie.
B. Sam was quite familiar with the boy.
C. The owner of the car is now in hospital.
D. Sam will have none of the prize money left. | | 4.What could be the best title for the passage? | A. Curiosity killed the cat
B. Joy puts heart into a man
C. Extreme joy ends in sorrow
D. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush | 最新试题
