A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt
题型：不详难度：来源：
A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 1 was that he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of 2 as a result of exhausted battery (无电) . Nothing could be done but to 3 in cold wilderness (荒野). It was eight hours later that day broke, and then 4 of the rescue (援救).
It is almost 5 that he could stand （忍受）the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 6 : “First of all, I checked up my 7 conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的) danger. As there was no 8 to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 9 . In this way I dozed (瞌睡) off.”
His story put an end to my regret (遗憾) for the 10 of an exploration adventure (探险) that happened last year. A group of young men 11 to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 12 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 13 . Finally they felt dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the 14 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 15 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 16 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (闪烁) not far away.
Don’t you think you can compare it with 17 itself? When you meet with difficulty in life and work, you are lost in darkness. 18 you it’s unclear yet and you needn’t put up struggle 19 . It seems to be a negative （消极）attitude, 20 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight (远见) as well as a great courage in the first place.

解析
试题分析：当你的一生中遇到困难时，在黑暗中迷失了方向，在状况还没有搞清楚之前，你先不要急着去挣扎，这看起来是一种消极的态度，但是能够做到这一点的人必需要有远见，并且在一开始就要有极大的勇气。
小题1:此处突出强调状况之“糟”。他动不了，更为糟糕的是他不能求救。选B
小题2:因为电池用尽，手机不能用了，go out of work意为“不工作”。out of service当“停止服务”讲，out of order当“混乱”讲。选D
小题3:此处表示除了“等”之外，别无选择。此处是固定句型nothing can be done but do, 相当于have no choice but to do从作者叙述的朋友在深夜受伤但非常镇静这一事实可知其他动词不合题意。选C
小题4:从后文看，作者的朋友最终获救了，因此此处应是援救“到来”了。“耽误”不合题意，因为作者已经说明朋友没有办法呼救;此处作者强调的也不是“成功”。选D
小题5:在黑夜里如此长时间忍受恐惧，作者认为这是令人“无法想象的”。作者此处是在赞扬朋友在那样的情况下能如此镇静，其他选项不合题意。选B
小题6:这是指朋友后来的“解释”。从后文可以排除其他选项，此处不是朋友的“借口”，更不是“计划”和“决定”。选C
小题7:在受伤的情况下，检查的应是“身体的”状况，后面“没有生命危险”也印证了这一点。“精神的”，“工作的”，“医疗的”在此都不合语境。A
小题8:此处指做事情的“方式”，应用way,指没有办法呼救。method多表示解决问题的具体“方法”。如：his studying method。B
小题9:因为朋友在车祸中受了重伤，又没法“呼救”，因此应实施自救，阻止伤口“流血”。D
小题10:从后文可知，探险“失败”了。loss的意思是“损失”，不合题意。B
小题11:探险没有成功，因此此处只能是“尝试”去做。manage to do sth. 表示“设法干成了某事”，与整个事情的结局矛盾。C
小题12:从后文“这群年轻人乱作一团”可知，他们找不到出口。其他选项“决心”，“愿意”等不合逻辑。B
小题13:由这群年轻人迷路可知，他们乱跑一气，没有了“方向”感。D
小题14:发现年轻人失败真相的应是“营救”人员。由具体的语境可排除其他选项，此处不是指“当地的人”，作者强调的也不是“勇敢的人”。A
小题15:从后面“亮光闪烁”可知，这儿指的是“出口”，故用opening。C
小题16:作者强调的就是人们处于危急或困境时应“保持镇静”，故用calm。D
小题17:作者由上述两个事例联想到“生活”。life意义最具有概括性。作者把上述的经验和教训与人们的实际生活联系起来，其他选项都太片面。C
小题18:mind sb. 当“提醒某人”讲。处于迷茫状态时，你应该提醒自己情况不明朗，不要轻举妄动。watch“注视、监视”;imagine“想象”不合题意;warn“警告”语气太强，用在此处也不合适。A
小题19:作者强调人们在处于危急或困境时应“保持镇静”，不要轻举妄动，因此不必“立即”去斗争。其他副词都偏离了作者所表达的中心。B
小题20:前后文构成的是转折关系。这种态度似乎是消极的，但却表现了一个人的智慧和勇气。理顺了上下文的逻辑关系，就能排除其他选项的干扰。C
点评：本文介于记叙文和议论文之间，要注意故事发展的细节，注意上下文串联和语法分析，因为在本文中语法分析题考查较多。注意各种小词的辨析。 |
举一反三
Wendy Gallegos writes “concer” on the board. One of her students raises her hand.
“Ms. Gallegos, you should have written ‘conocer’ instead,” she said, referring to the Spanish verb for “to know.”
Gallegos looks at the board, smiles and quickly erases her mistake.
“You see, I have taught you so well, you pick up on my mistakes,” she said with a laugh.
To Gallegos, the scene in her classroom is typical（特有的）of the children she teaches. Gallegos teaches high school Spanish. She became part of their lives and families for three years. She is willing to help her children succeed. After a couple of years, Gallegos’ class becomes like home. Gallegos’ Spanish class is taught mostly in English in sixth grade. By the time the students are eighth-graders, they are speaking fewer words of English and more of Spanish during the 50-minute classes.
“My goal is to get my kids to say something in Spanish every day,” she said, “I want them to be able to talk to me. That’s why I help them, I praise them, I recognize them when they do good work. And we have fun. The day I stop having fun is the day I am going to consider a different job.’’
If a student needs help, Gallegos offers the student a “lifesaver,” which is help from a classmate. The lifesaver gets a piece of candy as a reward. As the students said: “Gallegos’ class is anything but boring.” It is because of Gallegos’ efforts and determination that she is the teacher who they think is most deserving of one of Collier County’s Golden Apple Awards.
“I don’t teach a subject, I teach kids. This is what I was born to do,” Gallegos said.
小题1:The scene（情景）in Gallegos’ class is mentioned at the beginning of the passage to ____.| A．show Gallegos, as a teacher, makes a mistake | | B．tell teachers can help students correct mistakes. | | C．show her good teaching method in daily class | | D．point out the students’ impolite behavior in class |
小题2:The underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 implies that_____.| A．having fun is Gallegos’ goal in hunting jobs. | B．Gallegos likes her job very much | | C．Gallegos is considering changing her job | D．teaching Spanish will not last long |
小题3:What made Gallegos get Golden Apple Award?| A．Her interesting class. | B．Her determination in study. | | C．Rewarding her students with prizes. | D．Her efforts made to teach kids. |
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?| A．This is what I was born to do | B．Golden Apple Awards | | C．Spanish classes with fun | D．How to get along with kids |

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But, they can also cause a lot of problems, send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.
We spoke to Mr. Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination. And, then it wasn’t until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the GPS is kind of "garbage in garbage out".”
Mister Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown: “One problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it’s going to the wrong place.”
Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people’s cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” It lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.
Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.
小题1:In Paragraph 2, Mr. Brown mentioned his friend in the conversation to _____________.| A．build up his own reputation | | B．laugh at his stupid friend | | C．prove the GPS system is only garbage | | D．describe an example of human error |
小题2:With which of the following statement would Barry Brown most likely agree?| A．GPS units are to blame for the most GPS service failures. | | B．We should introduce higher standard for the driving license. | | C．Cameras are urgently needed to help improve GPS systems. | | D．Drivers, GPS systems and passengers should unite to improve GPS systems. |
小题3:What is Mr. Brown’s attitude towards GPS?| A．Unconcerned | B．Prejudiced | C．Objective | D．Critical |
小题4:What would be the best title for the text?| A．driving with GPS can be difficult | | B．driving confusions can be caused by small screen | | C．driving without GPS should be much more convenient | | D．GPS equipment in driving: to be deserted or improved? |

“In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world.” This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr. Sauven, these “ecosystem services” far outweigh the gains from exploitation.
Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.
I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.
小题1:John Sauven holds that________________.| A．many people value nature too much | | B．exploitation of wildernesses is harmful | | C．wildernesses provide humans with necessities | | D．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong |
小题2:What is the main idea of Para. 3?| A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people. | | B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials. | | C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation. | | D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally. |
小题3:What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?| A．Objective. | B．Disapproving. | C．Sceptical. | D．Optimistic. |
小题4:Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点) C: Conclusion |
Nowadays it is found that school students seldom pay much attention to sports. Is it because they have no 32 in sports? It may not be the fact. They often say they have 33 more important things to do.
34 are these important things? Examinations! They have to 35 themselves for the most important School Certificates of Education Examination（毕业会考）, and also to 36 with the test and the exams in school. So many of them tend to 37 bookworms.
In the summer holidays of the former years they could do 38 they liked, but in the summer holidays of the 39 years, they have to 40 all their time to the preparation. So studies have 41 them from going in sports.
Because of the pressure 42 their parents and teachers, they have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. Many parents 43 their children to pass this examination in order to get a stepping stone for higher studies or better jobs. As for the 44 themselves, they want to get good results so that they can 45 their studies in the universities. So it is necessary that they 46 up their school activities, especially sports.
Indeed, a complete education cannot go 47 physical training, for a quick mind seldom 48 along with a weak body. It is well said, “All work no play 49 Jack a dull（迟钝的）boy.” In one word, without a strong body, you can never 50 anything, let alone a great success in 51

I come from a city on the United States’east coast. It’s a ten-hour flight for me to get home from Shanghai. When I got off the plane, I took photos of the blue sky and white clouds along the way. After two weeks, I returned to Shanghai. Much to my surprise, the blue sky in Shanghai that I liked before was not as blue as that in the US. I couldn’t help wondering what had happened.
A few days later, I went to tour Waitan (a famous tourist attraction in Shanghai) by the Huangpu River with some of my friends. There we saw five Ferrari sports cars by the side of the road. The red and yellow cars looked so nice that everyone was looking at them. However, when I turned my head, I noticed the sky over Waitan, I was shocked to find that the buildings in the Lujiazui area on the other side of Huangpu River could hardly be seen. It was then that I realized that Ferrari cars could be bought with money, but a blue sky couldn’t.
Shanghai is an important economic (经济的) and trade center in China. It has made great contributions (贡献) to the whole nation’s economic development. However, we need to protect the environment during economic growth. Pollution is poisoning our air and our rivers. Without clean air and rivers, how will people be able to survive?
小题1:The author mentioned the Ferrari sports cars in order to _______.| A．tell us that Shanghai is a developed city | | B．ask us to stop driving sports cars | | C．tell us how much people like cars | | D．focus our attention on air pollution |
小题2:What can we learn about the author?| A．He comes from Shanghai. | | B．He likes to visit different places. | | C．He wants to buy a Ferrari sports car. | | D．He is socially responsible (责任). |
小题3:Who might be interested in this passage?| A．Those who love Ferrari sports cars. | | B．Those who care about the environment. | | C．Those who want to travel in Shanghai. | | D．Those who like to take photos. |
小题4:What is the best title for this passage?| A．Money Can Buy Ferraris, But Not a Blue Sky | | B．Where People Should Live | | C．Different Opinions on Cars | | D．Different Places Have Different Skies |
