【題目】One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charge with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping,trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.

I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交錯(cuò)）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（條紋）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.

Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.

This was my fourth timeto sense the auraof the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出沒處）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.

【1】Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?

A. The elephant stopped.

B. A spotted deer called.

C. The elephant seized a branch.

D. The forest was silent for a while.

【2】The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.

A. describing various sounds

B. comparingdifferentanimals

C. listing different activities

D. introducing various plants

【3】What does the underlined part“to sense the aura”most probably mean?

A. To see the diversity.

B. To enjoy the scenery.

C. To feel the atmosphere.

D. To experience the freedom.

【4】How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?

A. Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.

B. It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.

C. It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.

D. The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】試題分析：

本文記敘了作者騎著大象在森林追蹤老虎的過程和這個(gè)過程中的心理體驗(yàn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。從第一段But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.一句可知，梅花鹿的鳴叫是“報(bào)警”的聲音。A、D兩項(xiàng)均是聽到“報(bào)警”之后的結(jié)果。選擇B。

【2】推斷題。從第一段distant alarm calls, all the noise, a sharp warning cry等詞語可知，作者開頭描述了森林里的各種聲音。選擇A。

【3】詞義推斷題。從上下文可知，作者去森林是為了感受追蹤老虎的那份神秘、興奮和緊張的氛圍。故選擇C項(xiàng)。

【4】主旨大意題。文章最后一段After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.一句告訴我們，在作者看來，真正看見老虎只是證實(shí)它們的美，并且直接去動(dòng)物園就可以實(shí)現(xiàn)這個(gè)目的；但是追蹤老虎卻能帶來更多感受，作者真正感興趣的是這個(gè)過程。故選擇D項(xiàng)。

【題目】One day while walking along the bank of a river, a rabbit couple saw a wounded(受傷的) ant lying unconsciously(沒有直覺地) on the grass. The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered(恢復(fù)) and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her.

The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted(暈倒). She asked how she reached the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.

The rabbit couple went further up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.

One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw them sleeping peacefully on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion moving towards the grass where the rabbit couple were sleeping. The lion saw the rabbits sleeping, and started walking quietly to attack them.

Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lion’s shoulder and bit(咬) the lion’s back. The lion cried out in pain, waking the rabbit couple. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lion’s back into the grass.

A white pigeon(鴿子) who watched this event cheered at the courage(勇氣) of the ant and told the whole story to the rabbits. The rabbit couple were moved and thanked the ant. They became best friends.

【1】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. The ant was small but clever.

B. The ant was hurt by the lion.

C. The white pigeon was as brave as the ant.

D. The lion wanted to play a joke on the rabbit couple.

【2】The underlined word “hazard” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_____”.

A. reality B. danger

C. experience D. warning

【3】According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events?

a. The ant jumped into the grass to hide.

b. The ant bit the lion’s back.

c. The lion moved towards the rabbit couple.

d. The rabbit couple saved the ant.

e. The ant saw the rabbit couple sleeping on the grass.

A. d, c, e, a, b B. e, c, b, a, d

C. d, e, c, b, a D. c, d, e, b, a

【4】From the first three paragraphs, we can learn that _____.

【題目】閱讀理解。

I sat with a friend a few weeks ago as she scrolled through photos of her college freshman daughter on her phone. She asked me, “Doesn't she look happy? She looks OK, right？” Her daughter had recently had a difficult time, which was now over, but her mother — like all mothers would — still worried, sometimes, that something might be wrong.

For generations of parents, sending children off to college meant knowing little to nothing about how their children were doing. Other than the occasional letter or call from a dorm room phone, children who had left home were mostly unseen and heard from infrequently. College kids could get into all kinds of trouble and their parents would know nothing about it until Christmas vacation or summer break.

Now, of course, that's not at all how it is. Parents of college students can spend hour upon hour examining photos on Instagram or Facebook of their children. They look for hints of sadness in their eyes, the way their clothes fit, whether they're really smiling or just sort of smiling.

However, I don't think it's necessary. College is a time of intense personal growth. Pain is a necessary lesson for the emotional leap from childhood to adulthood. Mothers shouldn't be able to see photos in real time that capture their children when they're at their worst — whether because of too much alcohol or too little happiness.

The blessing of social media is the ability to connect at any time with your child, no matter where he or she may be in the world. Facebook, Instagram and the rest are keeping our helicopters flying long after they should have landed. Maybe it would be better for all of us to be a little less aware of the state of our children's lives once they leave home. Better for the children, and certainly better for the parents.

【1】That friend scrolled through photos on her phone most probably because she ________.

A．was bored and wanted to kill the time

B．wanted to make sure her daughter was alright

C．wanted to help her daughter through the difficulty

D．was sure something was wrong with her daughter

【2】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about parents of college students in the past?

A．They were often worried about their children.

B．They usually let their children do whatever they liked.

C．They were usually too busy to care about their children.

D．They lacked means of knowing about their children's situation.

【3】What does the writer think of children's experiencing pain at college?

A．It is helpless.B．It is necessary.

C．It is nonsense.D．It should be prevented.

【4】The passage is written to show that ________.

A．children don't really have freedom at college

B．social media make our life much easier than before

C．today's parents contact their children more frequently

D．parents shouldn't follow their children at college through social media

Because of this, there’s likely to be unemployment. While bosses will benefit because they can employ less people, thousands of office workers will find themselves out of work. 【4】They will be forced to learn new skills which require the use of the computer to survive.

【題目】閱讀理解。

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (長(zhǎng)曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

【1】Bob’s glory days were those ________.

A．when he was doing well in math

B．when he was in second grade

C．when he was made mayor of his building

D．when he showed his talents in sports

【2】From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.

A．a(chǎn)ctive and optimistic

B．clever and determined

C．brave and helpful

D．considerate and independent

【3】Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?

A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.

B．Bob could also have been a sport star.

C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.

D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.

【4】From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

A．parents should always study together with their children

B．parents should know how to educate their children properly

C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong

D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents
