Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight. Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave back.From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weatherbeaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.I looked forward to the return journey.语篇解读:本文讲述了作者乘火车去马来西亚旅行的过程中的见闻和感受。路上,有村民站在铁路旁边,满脸笑容地对过往的旅客打招呼,作者感受到他们的热情,旅途也变得有趣起来,不再无聊。1The author expected the train trip to be _.AadventurousBpleasantCexciting Ddull解析:选D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I did not particularly relish the long train .reread.I looked about .read my Economics.”可知,作者原以为旅途会非常“枯燥(dull)”,所以准备了杂志在旅游中阅读。答案为D。2What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?AThe friendly country people.BThe mountains along the way.CThe crowds of people in the streets.DThe simple lunch served on the train.解析:选A细节理解题。第一段描述了作者在旅途中看到的美好景象,可简单概括为:淳朴村民们的友好举动。答案为A。3Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph?Achoose BenjoyCprepare for Dcarry on解析:选B词义猜测题。根据语境“我不是特别乘火车长途旅行,于是带了一些杂志读”可推测“relish”意为“喜欢”,与enjoy同义。故答案为B。4What can we learn from the story?AComfort in traveling by train.BPleasure of living in the country.CReading gives people delight.DSmiles brighten people up.解析:选D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知,作者感觉很快就度过了长途旅行,甚至忘记了吃午饭。这是因为旅途非常有意思,正是马来西亚人的微笑和友好举动使作者的心情非常愉快。故答案为D。BIt was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing.There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog.They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important job eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.语篇解读:在印度的一个小山村,村民们原本过着平静的生活。有一天,城里人到这里收购青蛙。于是,大量的青蛙被捕杀,虽然村民们赚了一些钱,但是,慢慢地害虫多了,庄稼减产了,疾病开始传播了。这时,村民们才真正认识到这一切都是他们捕杀青蛙所造成的。5From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers _.Aworked very hard for centuriesBdreamed of having a better lifeCwere poor but somewhat contentDlived a different life from their forefathers解析:选C细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,村民们虽然生活清贫,但是他们生活得幸福,因为几百年来他们的祖宗就是这样生活的。6Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?AThe frogs were easy money.BThey needed money to buy medicine.CThey wanted to please the visitors.DThe frogs made too much noise.解析:选A细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句可知,周围田地里到处都是青蛙,它们似乎对村民也没有什么用处,卖掉青蛙很好赚钱。7What might be the cause of the childrens sickness?AThe crops didnt do well.BThere were too many insects.CThe visitors brought in diseases.DThe pesticides were overused.解析:选B推理判断题。根据文章第六段内容可知,他们把青蛙卖了之后,到处都是害虫,这些害虫不但毁坏庄稼,而且传播疾病,由此可知B项正确。8What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?AHappiness comes from peaceful life in the country.BHealth is more important than money.CThe harmony between man and nature is important.DGood old days will never be forgotten.解析:选C推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知,青蛙对村民的生活起着重要的作用。最后一段说,虽然村民依然贫困,可是他们认识到了青蛙的重要作用,换言之,人与自然的和谐是非常重要的。CAround the world in 30 seconds it is not a wild idea of space age but the time it takes to finish that journey at the South Pole.Visitors to the South Pole like to walk around the world.So there is a wellbeaten path in the snow there.Other visitors like to stand on their heads or have their pictures taken with the flags of the Antarctic countries in the background.The United States has maintained a permanent (永久的) base at the South Pole since 1956.The Chinese scientists and technical workers have built an observation station there, too.The South Pole itself is marked by a twometre bamboo pole stuck in the ice.If you walk from the very pole towards America, you are in one time zone.If you head towards Australia or towards South Africa, you are in another zone.It is Friday if you stand on one side of the pole.And then if you walk around the other side, it is Thursday there.The icecap, which is 2,850 meters thick, moves 12 meters a year in the directions of Buenos Aires, Argentina.The bamboo pole, therefore, has to be moved back a corresponding distance.The air at the South Pole is the cleanest on earth.Scientists from various countries have called for Antarctic to be declared a world park to save it from being polluted by the exploitation of its oil and other mineral resources over there.9Why do some visitors like to stand on their heads?ABecause they want to see the pole better. BBecause they want to improve their health by doing this kind of physical exercises.CBecause only in this way can they take good pictures of the South Pole.DBecause they are overexcited and do so for fun.解析:选D推理判断题。从文章的第二段可以推出答案。10The icecap moves 12 meters a year towards_.Athe east Bthe northeastCthe west Dthe northwest解析:选B推理判断题。结合Buenos Aires(布宜诺斯艾利斯,阿根廷首都)在南极的东北方向这一地理知识,联系文章的第五段可以得出答案。11This passage probably is_.Aa traveling noteBan article of popular scienceCa news reportDa short story解析:选B推理判断题。根据全文内容可以得出答案。DFor Chinese students nowadays, no matter what kind of schools theyre going to, they have to face the problem of learning English. All examinations they want to pass require them to pass English.Examinations for entering further education, studying abroad and even graduating from college require scores in English examinations. English has become the most popular course in tutorial classes (补习班) and even in the selfstudy classroom.When nearly all students attention is focused on English, looking at the situation of our mother language, even Chinese linguists (语言学家) get confused about its use. Not only have many new words and phrases which are very popular on the Internet started to fill in every corner of the society, but common use of Chinese is full of mistakes and misunderstandings.Under such an urgent situation for the Chinese language, its time for every Chinese person to start protecting our mother tongue.Chinese has the most speakers of any world language and also is one of the oldest in history. Around the world, many countries have started learning Chinese and Chinese has become one of the most important foreign languages in some foreign countries.Besides, there are 282 Confucius institutions (机构) around 88 countries and regions in the world that are teaching Chinese. The number of people learning Chinese is about 50 million outside China.For those foreigners that are so crazy about Chinese language, what kind of attitude should the Chinese have? Honestly speaking, learning English itself shouldnt be criticized, and we need to learn English to communicate with the world to show our culture and society. However, it doesnt make any sense that the importance of Chinese is replaced by a foreign language in a natives mind. Its really time to protect our Chinese language! Are you ready?语篇解读:英语是中国学生的必修学科,在中国的课程教学中占很大比重。同时,世界上许多其他国家的人也开始学习汉语。但是,随着网络等科技的发展,人们所使用的汉语中出现语病的比例逐渐增大,这使很多语言学家感到焦虑。12Some Chinese linguists get confused about the use of Chinese because _.Athere are many words in ChineseBgreat changes have taken place in ChineseCthey could not accept a wider vocabularyDthere are too many mistakes and misunderstandings解析:选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,现在人们所说的汉语中存在很多错误和误解,这是使语言学家困惑的原因之一。13The author describes the situation of English in China so as to _.Aexplain how popular English isBprove the importance of EnglishCremind us to care about the situation of ChineseDencourage us to use Chinese rather than English解析:选C推理判断题。本文主要提出了应该保护汉语这一观点,提及国内英语学习情况就是为了提醒我们在学习外语的同时,也不要忽视了本国语言。14According to the passage, we should learn English to _.Aintroduce our culture and society to the worldBbuild more Confucius institutions abroadCstudy abroad to get further educationDget a good job解析:选A细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知,我们应该学习英语,以向世界介绍我们的文化和社会。15What is the main idea of the passage?AIts time to protect the Chinese language.BLanguage study is a problem of the world.CChinese is becoming more important than English.DIts unnecessary for Chinese people to learn English.解析:选A主旨大意题。根据文章的结构及内容可知,本文循序渐进地阐述了汉语目前面临的困境,进而在结尾提出“Its really time to protect our Chinese language!”这正是本文的主旨所在。.阅读七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Sure, weve all heard that we should get more sleep.

Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect.
