12.Outside her cottage,old Mrs.Taylor was hanging out laundry on a wire line,unaware that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move.They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.(女巫)
They watched nervously as she took a broomstick(長柄掃帚)to sweep the dirt from her stone steps.But much to their disappointment,she didn't get on the broomstick and fly off.The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly-signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack.(干草堆).
The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack,followed by Michael,a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap.With only three legs,it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress.The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs!Crawling further along the branches,they could clearly see the haystack.
Mrs.Taylor was standing on a wooden box with the new-laid egg in one hand.Placing the egg in her pocket,she readied herself to climb down.Then,without warning,the box broke under her and she crashed to the ground.The children were in horror.
"Should we go and help her?"asked Mia.
"What if it's a trick?"replied Patrick."She probably knows we're here.Witches know things like that!"
After thinking for a while,Julia said"Anyway,we should go and check whether she is all right."
Approaching prudently,they could see a wound on the old lady's forehead.She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.
"Go and get Dad,"Mia yelled to her brothers."Tell him about the accident."
The boys didn't need another excuse to leave.They ran as fast as they could for help,hoping that Mrs.Taylor would not regain consciousness and turn the girls into frogs.
Later,in the hospital,the old lady smiled her thanks."I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when 1fell.I must have yelled quite loudly."
The children exchanged guilty glances,but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!
21.Mrs.Taylor stopped sweeping whenB.
A.her doorstep became very clean
B.she heard the hen making sounds loudly
C.she noticed the children in the tree
D.her cat Michael managed to get her attention
22.Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs.Taylor when she fell?A
A.He thought that she could be cheating them.
B.He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.
C.He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.
D.He knew he and the others shouldn't have been in her tree.
23.Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word"prudently"?C
A.Slowly.
B.Hurriedly.
C.Carefully.
D.Quietly.
24.Which of these old sayings best summaries the lesson from story?B
A.Make hey while the sun shines.
B.Never judge a book by its cover.
C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D.People in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones.

分析 文章講述了孩子們懷疑Mrs.Taylor是巫婆,因為她的外表、她的黑貓都符合巫婆的樣子,但后來Mrs.Taylor的舉動表明她就是個普通的老太太,故該文章告訴我們:不要以貌取人.

解答 21.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段中的"The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly"可知,當(dāng)她的母雞發(fā)出大的聲響的時候,Mrs.Taylor才停下掃帚抬頭看一看.故B選項題.
22.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第六段中的"‘What if it's a trick?'replied Patrick.‘She probably knows we're here.Witches know things like that!'"可知,Patrick懷疑Mrs.Taylor摔倒是她耍的一個詭計,目的是誘騙孩子們過去扶她.故Patrick不愿意去幫助Mrs.Taylor.
23.C詞義猜測題.由第五、六、七段中孩子們所說的話可知,孩子們對于幫助Mrs.Taylor心存猶豫,害怕是Mrs.Taylor耍的詭計,所以他們在靠近Mrs.Taylor的時候小心翼翼.故該畫線單詞意思接近"carefully",C選項題.
24.B推理判斷題.文章一開始提到孩子們懷疑Mrs.Taylor是巫婆,因為她的外表、她的黑貓都符合巫婆的樣子,但后來Mrs.Taylor的舉動表明她就是個普通的老太太,故該文章告訴我們:不要以貌取人.B選項題.

點(diǎn)評 本文是一個人物故事類閱讀理解,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).

11.The Oprah Winfrey Show added Chen Luyu to its list of famous co-hosts from around the world when the two talk show queens hooked up via satellite for the first time on Aug 26,2009."I was on Oprah's talk show because the world is focusing on China."says Chen,who was the first Asian host invited by Winfrey.
Chen took Winfrey and her US audience on a tour through her office,studio and dressing room as well as offering a special guided tour around Beijing's famous Houhai area and the capital's popular 798art district.Winfrey was surprised about Chen's most memorable interviews including HIV victims and lesbian couples.
"Chinese people have a wide understanding about Western countries,but it is not the other way around,which causes misunderstanding,"Chen says."I have interviewed more than 3000guests who come from various classes and working backgrounds.They tell their stories and my audience shows great respect."
Known as"China's Oprah",the 39-year-old TV personality decided to model her show,A Date With Luyu,on the Winfrey's popular show after visiting the US more than a decade ago."It is flattering to be called China's Oprah,which means people say‘you are really good',"she says,"I am curious and ask some tough questions.But I tend to be protective of my guests.If they don't want to answer those questions,that's fine."Over the past 10years of being a public face in a rapidly changing China,she has gone from interviewing celebrities(名流) to talking with people from all walks of life.
Her guests share their story with a live audience of 300and a viewing audience of more than 60million every day."It has become more than a show,"Chen says,"Chinese audience tend to be shy.I cannot expect my viewers to act like those on Oprah's show,who would shout and scream,"she says,"but Chinese audience can respond to the interviewees'stories and show me their smiles and tears."
Chen's daily chat show is on Phoenix satellite television station,the first foreign-funded station to be beamed into the mainland.Winfrey was surprised by Chen5s high ratings and expressed a desire to visit China and be a guest on Chen's talk show."The cooperation enables Western audiences to know more about China.And I think that Chinese talk shows can be as spirited as any other country's"Chen says.

55.Where did Chen Luyu co-host the Oprah Winfrey show?D.
A.In the satellite.B.In Hong Kong.C.In the USA.D.In Beijing.

A.looked up to                             B.thought highly of
C.looked down upon                     D.made fun of

C.Chinese audience often shout and scream while watching the talk show.
D.Phoenix satellite television station is the first to be beamed into the mainland.

A.how Chinese people like the Oprah Winfrey Show.
