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 he found himself unable to ask for help-his mobile phone went out of 2 as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to
3 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 4 of the rescue.
It is almost 5 that he could stand 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 fatal 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 (打盹) off.”
His story put an end to my regret for the 10 of an exploration adventure 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 fell 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 that you can compare it with 17 itself? When you meet with obstacles 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 attitude, 20 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place.

解析
试题分析：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

“Time is a problem for children,” states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly” because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time.” The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it’s the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely “takes their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flick. Flick points to related “blue” minutes on the dial, while Flak points to “red” hour numbers. The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龙表带). Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it “childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine.” The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.
小题1:From the news report we know that ______.| A．parents are patient when teaching children time | | B．parents have little idea of how to teach children time | | C．children are likely to learn time quickly | | D．children enjoy wearing the Flick Flak watch |
小题2:The author doesn’t seem to believe ______.| A．children will be on time if they have not learnt how to tell time | | B．a Flick Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time | | C．the Flick Flak can take children’s imagination | | D．children usually have trouble telling time if they don’t wear watches |
小题3:The underlined word handicap (Para. 1) means ______.| A．displeasure | B．discouragement | C．disappointment | D．disadvantage |
小题4:The United State sales manager calls the new watch “childproof” because ______.| A．it is designed to teach children to be on time | | B．it proves to be effective in teaching children time | | C．it is made so as not to be easily damaged by children | | D．it is the children’s favorite watch |

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the traveler’s lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
小题1:For a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose _________.| A．backpacking across a country | | B．wine tasting in a bar | | C．hiking to some mountains | | D．white water rafting |
小题2:To have an adventure travel, the most important is _________.| A．whether you enjoy yourself | | B．whether you try something dangerous | | C．where you go for the traveling | | D．what you do in the traveling |
小题3:The underlined word “beyond” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_________”.| A．according to | B．later than | C．more than | D．less than |
小题4:From the passage, we can make a conclusion that _________.| A．adventure travel always includes something dangerous | | B．adventure travel will cost you a large sum of money | | C．anything that goes beyond the normal is adventure travel | | D．adventure travelers like to do things to the limits of their body |
小题5:The best title for the passage may be “_________”.| A．Tips on adventure travel | | B．Who is interested in adventure travel | | C．What is adventure travel | | D．Popular places for adventure travel |

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values（价值观念） that helped me grow into an adult.
Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who asked me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to admit to her. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.
I also learned from Steve that personal property（财产） is a sacred（神圣的） thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father made with a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. David, and still remembered the smell of her perfume (香水) as she patted me on the shoulder.
Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most unforgetful in my mind. When I was twelve I killed an old brown sparrow(麻雀)in the yard with a BB gun. Excited, I screamed at Steve to come and take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is when it hurts you first, and then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?| A．The relationship between Mark and Steve. | | B．The important lessons Mark learned in school. | | C．Steve’s important role in Mark’s growth stage. | | D．Mark and Steve’s respect for living things. |
小题2:When Mark admitted his mistakes to Mrs. Holt, he ____.| A．was surprised | B．felt frightened | | C．was light-hearted | D．cried before her |
小题3:From the third paragraph, we can know that Mark _____.| A．had a shiny silver pen | B．respected his teacher | | C．hated his father very much | D．once owned a small wooden dog |
小题4:To Mark, which is the most important lesson Steve taught him?| A．Respecting life. | B．Being responsible for one’s behavior. | | C．Being honest. | D．Respecting others’ property |

Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those interesting birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is 36 I became an animal collector in the first 37 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any 38 was not the traditional “mamma” or “daddy”,39 the word “zoo”, which I would 40 over and over again with a exciting 41 until someone, in groups to 42 me up, would take me to the zoo. When I 43 a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great 44 of pets, ranging from owls(鹰) to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time 45the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 46 to my collection of pets.
47 on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student 48 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,49 were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I 50 had enough money of my own to be able to 51 my first trip and I have been going 52 ever since then. Though a collector"s job is not an easy one and is full of 53 ,it is certainly a job which will appeal 54 all those who love animals and 55 .

I had an experience some years ago, which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by blaming themselves．One January, I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died “full of years”, as the Bible would say．Their homes happened to be near each other, so I paid condolence （吊唁） calls on the two families on the same afternoon.
At the first home, the son of the deceased （已故的） woman said to me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today．It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted on my mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today．That long airplane ride, the sudden change of climate, was more than she could take．It’s my fault that she’s dead.”
You see that any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty．Because the course of action they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course — keeping Mother at home, putting off the operation — would have turned out better．After all, how could it have turned out any worse?
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to its tasks．He cries, and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him．Very often, we do not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.
小题1:The author had to hold the two women’s funerals probably because __________________.| A．he wanted to comfort the two families | | B．he was an official from the community | | C．he had great pity for the deceased | | D．he was priest of the local church |
小题2:People feel guilty for the deaths of their loved ones because _______________________.| A．they couldn’t find a better way to express their sorrow | | B．they believe that they were responsible | | C．they had neglected the natural course of events | | D．they didn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction |
小题3:According to the passage, the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably means that ______.| A．everything in the world is predetermined | | B．the world can be interpreted in different ways | | C．there’s an explanation for everything in the world | | D．we have to be sensible in order to understand the world |
小题4:What’s the main idea of the passage?| A．Life and death is an unsolved mystery. | | B．Every story should have a happy ending. | | C．Never feel guilty all the time because not every disaster is our fault. | | D．In general, the survivors will feel guilty about the people who passed away . |
