【題目】A British farmer has been searching for a group of fighter planes for 15 years. The planes were lost in Burma during World War II. David Cundall, 62, traveled to Burma a dozen times. He spent about US $207,000 in the hope of finding a British Spitfire(噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機)buried in the Southeast Asian country. Finally, his hard work paid off.
Cundall started his search after his friend heard from a group of U.S. war veterans(老兵)that they had buried Spitfires in the region. “We’ve done some pretty silly things in our time, but the silliest was burying Spitfires,” the veterans said.
Cundall began placing ads in magazines to try to find soldiers who might have been involved. After 15 years of searching, he finally managed to locate the missing airplanes. The planes had never been flown and were buried in their transport crates(條板箱). “We made a borehole(鉆孔)and used a camera to look at the crates. They seemed to be in good condition.” Cundall told The Telegraph. The aircraft had arrived at a Royal Air Force base in Burma in August 1945. But, by that point in the war, the planes weren’t needed. “In 1945, Spitfires were ten a penny, and you could see them everywhere.” Said Cundall.
British Prime Minister, David Camerion, recently visited the country. As The Telegraph reports, Camerion’s help may mean that the Spitfires could soon be on their way back to the United Kingdom. Cundall hopes that with the help of investors, the planes can finally take to the skies.
“Spitfires are beautiful aeroplanes and should not be rotting away(腐爛)in a foreign land,” Cundall says. “They saved our neck in the Battle of Britain and they should be protected.”
【1】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. A British Farmer’s Dream
B. Burma’s Buried Treasure
C. A Search for Buried Planes
D. The Design of the British Spitfire
【2】What did the war veterans feel when they talked about the buried planes?
A. Disappointed B. Excited.
C. Regretful D. Hopeful
【3】What does the underlined phrase, “ten a penny ”, in the third paragraph mean?
A. expensive. B. cheap. C. rare D. common
【4】What can we learn about the British Spitfires?
A. The planes buried under the ground were seriously damaged.
B. The planes were not needed at that time during World War II.
C. It will be very difficult to take the planes back to the United Kingdom.
D. The planes were buried in Burma after they crashed there.
【5】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A. Cundall has asked Prime Minister David Cameron for help to bring Spitfires back.
B. The government of Burma will not allow Britain to bring the Spitfires back
C. The Spitfires buried in Burma are beginning to rot away.
D. Cundall likes Spitfires very much and he thinks they should be preserved.

【解析】
試題分析:本文講述了一個62歲的英國農(nóng)民尋找戰(zhàn)斗機群15年,并最終找到了Spitfire噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機的故事。
【1】主旨分析題。從全文來看,主要講了英國農(nóng)民Cundall花了15年的時間去東南亞的Burma國家去尋找二戰(zhàn)時期丟失的英國噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機,被埋在了Burma。故文章的標(biāo)題應(yīng)該是尋找埋藏的飛機。故選C。
【2】細節(jié)理解題。第二段“We’ve done some pretty silly things in our time, but the silliest was burying Spitfires, 在我們的時間中,我們已經(jīng)做了一些相當(dāng)愚蠢的事情,但最蠢的事是埋藏了噴火戰(zhàn)斗機。所以可以看出,老兵對于埋葬了噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機很后悔,充滿遺憾,故選C。
【3】細節(jié)分析題。在第三段In 1945, Spitfires were ten a penny, and you could see them everywhere.” Said Cundall. 1945 年,噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機多的很,你到處都可以看到它們。Cundall說道。根據(jù)后面可知,你到處都能看到他們,說明在那個時代,噴火式飛機很普遍,不值錢。故選D。
【4】細節(jié)分析題。排除法。A,從文中第三段We made a borehole(鉆孔)and used a camera to look at the crates. They seemed to be in good condition.”我們做鉆孔并用照相機來看那些條板箱。他們似乎情況良好。故A錯誤;C,從文中第四段Camerion’s help may mean that the Spitfires could soon be on their way back to the United Kingdom. Camerion 的幫助可能意味著噴火式戰(zhàn)機很快在運回英國的途中。因此可知將飛機運回英國不困難。故C錯誤;D,從文中第三段The planes had never been flown and were buried in their transport crates(條板箱). 這些飛機從來沒有飛,而且被埋在他們的運輸箱里。故D錯誤;B,從第三段But, by that point in the war, the planes weren’t needed. 但是,在那個時候在戰(zhàn)爭中,這些飛機不需要。B正確,故選B。
【5】推斷分析題。依據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段主要講Camerion 的幫助意味著噴火式戰(zhàn)機很快在運回英國的途中,而且Cundall相信這些飛機最終都能飛上藍天。最后一段根據(jù)Spitfires are beautiful aeroplanes and should not be rotting away(腐爛)in a foreign land, 噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機是漂亮的飛機,不應(yīng)該腐爛在外國的土地上,可知Cundall認(rèn)為這些飛機是值得找回并好好保存的。故根據(jù)這兩段可以推測出Cundall 非常喜歡噴火式戰(zhàn)斗機,他認(rèn)為他們應(yīng)該被保存。(注意:推斷的內(nèi)容在文中是找不到相似的語句的)故選D。
