A
My transportation was unexpectedly smooth and I arrived at the meeting half an hour earlier.I kept my eyes on the restaurant door.Several customers entered,but not my friend.At 6:00 pm,she sent me a text message:「Urgent work to finish.Will be 20 minutes late.」
I had left my book in the office,so I spent the time thinking of my experiences of being late in China.On my first visit in 1985,punctuality was deeply rooted in the Chinese hearts.There were no traffic jams then.
As a teacher in Canada,I always insisted on punctuality.I would open the classroom door to a late student for the first time and the second,but not the third.During the six years I worked for CCTV,I had a Chinese friend whom I often saw at lunch time,or after work.We used to meet at the subway station nearby.He was always late by 10-20 minutes.To my question,「You were busy?」 he would surprisingly answer,「No.」 Once I asked him to check the clock in his office,he smiled.
In March 2015,I got permanent residence(居住權) in China.The ceremony was scheduled for 9:00 am at the Public Security Bureau on the Second Ring Road.I told my driver I had to get there by 8:40 am.「No problem,」 he replied.But he thought he had time to drop someone off at the airport before picking me up.I desperately waited for him.Then,to rub salt into my wound,he had to stop at the exit of a gas station.Finally,I entered the room at 9:07 am—the last guest to arrive!
【解題導語】本文主要通過一位在中國生活的外國人對幾件不守時的生活事例的敘述,透露出他的無奈和憤怒。
1.What can we learn from the passage?
A.The author is always late for work or any activities.
B.The author dislikes making friends with unpunctual persons.
C.The author hates being late from the bottom of heart.
D.The author can do something to deal with unpunctuality.
答案:C;解析:推理判斷題。根據文章中敘述的作者總是想儘可能地準時但往往不能如願可推斷,作者從心底不希望遲到,當然也不希望別人遲到。
2.If the author’s student comes late for the third time,.
A.he will let him/her remain outside
B.he will open the door for him/her again
C.he will shout at him/her loudly
D.he will tell him/her to take care next time
答案:A;解析:細節理解題。由題幹中的「late for the third time」可定位至文章第三段第二句「I would open the classroom door to a late student for the first time and the second,but not the third.」由此可知,學生第三次遲到作者將不會允許他/她進入教室。
3.How did the Chinese friend feel when the author asked him to check the clock?
A.Excited.B.Embarrassed.
C.Satisfied.D.Shocked.
答案:B;解析:細節理解題。根據題幹中的「asked him to check the clock」可定位至文章第三段的「To my question,『You were busy?』 he would surprisingly answer,『No.』 Once I asked him to check the clock in his office,he smiled.」由其中的surprisingly和smiled可知,當中國的朋友聽到作者要他核對時間的時候會感到尷尬。excited激動的;embarrassed尷尬的;satisfied滿意的;shocked震驚的。
4.Why didn’t the author arrive at the ceremony on time?
A.Because the gas was running out.
B.Because his driver met a guest at the airport.
C.Because there was a big traffic jam on the road.
D.Because the driver estimated the time wrongly.
答案:D;解析:推理判斷題。根據最後一段中的「But he thought he had time to drop someone off at the airport before picking me up.I desperately waited for him.Then,to rub salt into my wound,he had to stop at the exit of a gas station.Finally,I entered the room at 9:07 am—the last guest to arrive!」可知,雖然作者希望早到,也提前通知了司機,但是司機對行程時間估算不準確導致了作者的遲到。
B
The Winter Olympic Games are a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years.Unlike the Summer Olympics,the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice.The first Winter Olympics,the 1924 Winter Olympics,was held in Chamonix,France.The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936,after which they were interrupted by World WarⅡ.The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years.Until 1992,the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same year.
The Winter Games have evolved since its beginning.Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them,such as short track speed skating,freestyle skiing,have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program.Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced.Still others,such as speed skiing,bandy and skijoring,were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合併) as Olympic sports.The rise of television as a global medium for communicationenhancedthe impression of the Games.It created an income stream,via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising.This allowed outside interests,such as television companies and corporate sponsors.
Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan’s Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics.With a fullyprepared final presentation by an allstar team,Beijing has successfully convinced the committee members that the 2008 Olympics host city is a more favored candidate for the Winter Games.Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world’s most populated country.
試題分析:本文向我們介紹了冬奧會的發展,且告訴我們北京擊敗哈薩克斯坦的阿拉木圖,獲得2022年冬奧會舉辦權,成為奧運歷史上第一個既舉辦過夏季奧運會,又舉辦冬奧會的城市。

A.Because of the economic crisis.
B.Because of culture difference.
C.Because of the Second World War.
D.Because of countries』 lack of interest.
答案:C;解析 細節理解題。根據第一段中的「The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936,after which they were interrupted by World WarⅡ.」可知,冬奧會12年未舉行是因為二戰的爆發。【推理題The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II.根據第一段第四句可知冬奧會12年未舉行是因為二戰的爆發。】
6.Which of the following is a sports event of the Winter Games?
A.Speed skiing. B.Freestyle skiing.
C.Bandy. D.Skijoring.
答案:B;解析 細節理解題。根據第二段中的「Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them,such as short track speed skating,freestyle skiing,have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program.Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced.Still others,such as speed skiing,bandy and skijoring,were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合併) as Olympic sports.」。【細節理解題根據第二段Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as short track speed skating, freestyle skiing, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program.

答案:A;解析:詞義猜測題。根據第二段本單詞所在的句子「The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games.(作為一種全球信息交流媒介,電視機的興起加深了觀眾對該賽事的印象。)」enhance在此處作「提高,改善」之意。【推理題根據第二段本單詞所在的句子The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games.作為一種全球信息交流媒介,電視機的興起加深了觀眾對該賽事的印象。Enhance在此處作提高,改善之意】
8.Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games mainly due to.
A.its rich experienceB.its large population

「I honestly have no idea how that cat got up there.It’s a hundredfootmetal pole.There’s no way he climbed that thing,」 Jim said to the worried woman.It wasn’t even her cat,but she was passing by and saw it,immediately calling the fire station to come to save it.Jim saw a lot of strange things as a fireman,often sad or upsetting things,but this was new.
「I suppose we could get the blanket and see if we can convince the poor cat to jump down.But he doesn’t really look too scared...」 Jim said to the woman.
「Dave,get over here!」 Jim called over his shoulder to the fire truck driver.Dave walked over and looked where Jim was pointing.
「How』d he get up there?」
Jim shrugged,similarly puzzled.「Do you suppose we could get the blanket and convincehimto jump?」
Dave shrugged in response.「I don’t see why not.」
Jim looked up at the black mass on the top of the flagpole,the American flag waving proudly beneath him.It was definitely a cat,and he regarded the people gathered below as if they were his subjects(臣民) and he their king,his yellow eyes scanning his surroundings with apparent disinterest.
When the blanket was spread out below the cat,Jim and Dave began striking the flagpole.The cat looked down,and then gazed into the sky as if it were looking for something.Jim and Dave followed his gaze.Suddenly,out of the clear sky,appeared a dark figure.The figure swooped(俯衝) low toward the flagpole.It was an eagle! As it got closer,the cat leaped down the pole swiftly onto the ground,and then disappeared into the bushes.
Jim,Dave,and the woman were left with their mouths open.They all agreed it was the best way to get it down.
9.Why did the woman call the fire station?
A.Because the pole was on fire.
B.Because her cat was missing.
C.Because she felt it was strange.
D.Because she wanted to save the cat.
答案:D;解析 細節理解題。根據第一段中的「It wasn’t even her cat,but she was passing by and saw it,immediately calling the fire station to come to save it.」可知,這位女士想救旗杆頂上的貓。【本題考查救護一隻貓咪的話題,事實細節題。根據文章第一段:「It wasn’t even her cat,but she was passing by and saw it.immediately calling the fire—station to come to save it.」它都不是老婦人的貓,她只是路過看到了這隻貓,就立刻給消防站打電話希望能救它,可知選項D因為她想救這是貓是正確的,所以選擇D選項正確。考查方向:本題考查保護動物的知識點。】
10.What does the underlined word 「him」 refer to?
A.The cat.B.Jim.
C.The king.D.Dave.
答案:A;解析 代詞指代題。此句是上文「I suppose we could get the blanket and see if we can convince the poor cat to jump down.」的復現,故him指代的是the cat。【本題考查救護一隻貓咪的話題,事實細節題。根據文章第七段:「Jim looked up at the black mass on the top of the flagpole,the American nag waving proudly beneathhim.」Jim抬頭往上看著旗杆頂端那黑乎乎的一團,當然是指的那隻貓了,美國軍旗在它下面驕傲地飄揚著。可知選項A.cat是符合題意的,所以選擇A選項正確。】
11.Who saved the cat?
A.An eagle. B.The firemen.
C.The cat itself. D.The people around.
答案:C;解析 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段最後一句「...the cat leaped down the pole swiftly onto the ground,and then disappeared into the bushes.」可知,是貓自己從旗杆頂上跳了下來。【本題考查救護一隻貓咪的話題,推斷判斷題。根據文章第八段:「The figure swooped(俯衝)low toward the flagpole.It was an eagle! As it got closer,the cat leaped down the pole swiftly onto the ground,and then got lost in the bushes. 」那個黑色的影子朝著旗杆俯衝過來,是一隻鷹!當它靠近的時候,貓從旗杆上敏捷地跳到了地上,然後消失在灌木叢中,可知選項A. The eagle是要來抓貓的,只有選項C.the cat itself貓咪自己救了自己是符合題意的,所以選擇C選項正確。】
12.What did the firemen plan to do at first?
A.To strike the pole.
B.To spread the blanket.
C.To shout at the cat.
D.To shrug helplessly.
答案:B。本題考查救護一隻貓咪的話題,事實細節題。根據文章第二段:「I suppose we could get the blanket and see if we can convince the poor cat to jump down」我想我們可以把救生毯打開......可知選項B.to spread the blanket鋪開救生毯是符合題意的,所以選擇B選項正確。
