Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp ,an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. 【1】

What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. 【2】

When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. 【3】 The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners, collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. 【4】

Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” 【5】 The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.

A. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.

B. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.

C. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof.

D. How happy he must have been when he saw a rain of fish covering his farm.

【解析】

試題分析：澳大利亞的秋天經(jīng)常有暴風(fēng)雨發(fā)生，大風(fēng)像巨大的真空吸塵器一樣橫掃澳大利亞，夾雜著海藻，木頭和甚至是魚群。所以才會有“魚群落在田地里和農(nóng)場的房子上”這種奇怪的現(xiàn)象發(fā)生。

【1】C 考查對上下文的理解。前一句的意思是：1974年的2月, 一個澳大利亞的農(nóng)場主Bill Tapp在他的農(nóng)場親眼看到了一場魚雨。這一句是對感受a rain of fish的推測：當(dāng)他聽到很多的雨撞到他家的屋頂時他一定非常驚奇。故選C。

【2】B 考查對上下文的理解。前一句的意思是：是什么原因?qū)е铝唆~雨哪？這是一個曾長期困惑研究魚的人的問題。由此可知這里的意思是：這是因為一場狂風(fēng)暴雨。故選B。

【3】E 考查對上下文的理解。前一句的意思是：在世界的北部地區(qū)還是春天的時候，澳大利亞已經(jīng)是秋天了。后一句的意思是：大風(fēng)像巨大的真空吸塵器一樣橫掃澳大利亞，夾雜著海藻，木頭和甚至是魚群。所以這里的意思是：這秋天常有可怕的暴風(fēng)雨發(fā)生，導(dǎo)致洪水泛濫。故選E。

【4】A 考查對上下文的理解。前一句的意思是：大風(fēng)像巨大的真空吸塵器一樣橫掃澳大利亞，夾雜著海藻，木頭和甚至是魚群。因此可知這里的意思是：大風(fēng)夾雜著這些自然界的東西漫過很遠(yuǎn)的地方然后落在田野和房子上，令人驚奇。故選A。

【5】F 考查對上下文的理解。前一句的意思是：Bill Tapp描述魚雨看起來像數(shù)以百萬計的死鳥從天而降一樣。后面的意思是：許多魚在暴風(fēng)雨的作用下就像自然界中的瀑布一樣從天上掉下來。所以這里的意思是：他的描述不足為奇。故選F。

My birthday is coming. Father asked me how I would want as my birthday present. I told him I need no present but a party. Father said OK. When I recited the name of my seven friends I planned to invite, he wondered why his guest list did not include my new neighbor Tom.
