”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shockedEveryone should, “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards secondBy the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitchers intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third basemans headAll were screaming，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying,“Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his teamThat day, the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this worldShay didnt make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!66Not expecting much, Shays father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the father _Anoticed some of the boys on the field were heistingBguessed his presence would affect the boys decisionClearned some of the boys on the field knew Shay wellDunderstood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted67In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys _Abelieved they were sure to win the gameBwould like to help Shay enjoy the gameCfound Shay was so eager to be a winnerDfell forced to give Shay another chance68The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head, probably because that boy _Awas obviously aware of the pitchers purposeBlooked forward to winning the game for his teamCfailed to throw the ball to the second basemanDsaw that Shay already reached second base69Which of the following has nothing to do with Shays becoming the hero for his team?AThe pitcher did not throw the ball to the first basemanBThe audience and the players from both teams cheered for himCThe opposing players failed to stop his running to homeDOne of the opposing players ran to help him70What to you think is the theme of the story?ATrue human nature could be realized in the way we treat each otherBEveryone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabledCEveryone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parentsDThe results of the game should not be the only concern of the players66D 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可以推断，Shay的父亲理解儿子的心情，虽然身患残疾，但儿子希望得到别人的认可和接受，这种归属感会让儿子感到自信和乐观。67B 推理判断题。根据文章的整体内容，特别是最后一段第一句可推断，这些打棒球的小男孩都十分善良，他们希望成全Shay，让他感受到体育运动带来的快乐，所以在最后一局，他们把球棒传到了Shay手中。68A 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段最后一句可知，最小的男孩理解了投手的意图，所以故意把球扔得又高又远。69C 推理判断题。为了成全身患残疾的Shay，球队双方进行了善意地欺骗，故意屡屡失手，共同制造了一个特殊的“英雄”，让Shay在人世间不多的日子里感到了快乐。显然C项与文章内容及主题不符。70A 主旨大意题。文章讲述了一个关于爱的故事，一个关于人性的话题，人性是善的，在我们对待彼此的方式方法上，我们的人性充分显示出来。2（2011江西卷）A“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?” Jessica asked“A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully“Well, its something that you would rather not have anyone else know aboutFor example, if in the past, someone in Dads family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be a skeleton in his familys closetHe really wouldnt want any neighbor to know about it”“Why pick on my family?” Jessicas father said with anger“Your family history isnt so good, you knowWasnt your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners” “Gosh, sorry I askedI think I understand now,” Jessica cut iin before things grew worseAfter dinner, the house was very quietJessicas parents were still quite angry with each otherHer mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to readWhen she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessicas closetJust as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floorJessicas mother sank in a faint（晕倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her foreheadShe looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter“What happened? Where am I?” she asked“You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica“I brought it home to help me with my health projectI meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly“Theyre both crazy,” she thought56According to Jessicas mother, “a skeleton in the close” means _Aa family honorBa family secretCa family storyDa family treasure57What can we learn about some Australians ancestors form Paragraph 2?AThey were brought to Australia as prisonersBThey were the earliest people living in AustraliaCThey were involved in some crimes in AustraliaDThey were not regarded as criminals in their days58Jessicas mother fell down into a faint because she was _AknockedBfrightenedCinjuredDsurprised59Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?AShe was curious about itBShe planned to keep it for funCShe needed it for her school taskDShe intended to scare her parents60Jessicas parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because _Athey were crazyBthey were over excitedCthey realized their misunderstandingDthey both thought they had won the quarrel56题答案：B考点：语义猜测根据第一段母亲所说的话“its something that you would rather not have anyone else to know about”“它是一件你不希望其他人所知道的事情”，选择B。57题答案：A考点：细节推断解析:由第二段”Yes，but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners”，“如今的人们说如果你的祖先不是以囚犯的身份到达澳大利亚的话，那么你就不是一个真正的澳大利亚人。”选择A58题答案：B考点：细节理解由第三段“Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor”“正当她打开门伸进手去挂短裙的时候，一只骨头胳膊从暗处伸出来然后一堆骨头摔倒了地板上。”得出妈妈因该是被吓晕的。59题答案：C考点：细节理解由最后一段“I brought it home to help me with my health project”“我把它带回家是为了帮我搞定我的健康课题”，project此处有“学校的科研习作项目, 课题”之意判断出C选项。60题:考点：推断题答案：C结合全文理解，开头讲述了Jessica的一个提问“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣橱）?”引出了父母之间的争论，之后妈妈被孩子藏在衣橱中的用来完成学校课题的骷髅吓晕过去，最后Jessica解释时说，“I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad”即本想告诉妈妈衣橱里的骷髅的情况，可是每当提到骷髅和衣橱的问题后却总会让父母之间有摩擦，然而最后真相大白，Jessica的父母都意识到了这是一个误会，故而狂笑。故而选择C3（2011陕西卷）CIn early autumn I applied for applied for admission to collegeI wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell University, but my mother fought strongly againsnst itWhen she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell, she tore it up“You cant say its not a great university, just because Papa went there”“Thats not it at allAnd it is a top university”She was still holding the pieces in her hand“But we cant afford to send you to college”“I wouldnt dream of asking you for moneyDo you want me to get a job to help suppont you and Papa?
