It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story，” warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place！”“OK, but dont say I didnt warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“You are clearing too much land， warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. Silly fool， said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill bee wealthier. Hes just jealous！”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit backjust as the old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants cant” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Toms face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.56The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _A. courage B. assistance C. instruction D. challenge57. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A. To frighten them.B. To satisfy their curiosity.C. To warn them of the danger of the place.D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.58. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A. The old man envied him. B. The old man was foolish.C. He was too busy to listen to others. D. He was greedy for more crops.59. Why did Tom scream and faint?A. He saw Denniss shadow. B. He was scared by a plant. C. His friends played a joke on him. D. The weather became extremely cold.60. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A. Grasp all, lose all. B. No sweat, no sweet.C. It is no use crying over spilt milk. D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.【要点综述】 本文主要讲述了三个人在沼泽地附近露营以及Denniss Swamp名字的由来。56. D考查词义猜测。由语境可知，他们去沼泽地野营应该是接受了杰克的挑战。57. B考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。58. D考查细节理解。由第八段“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill bee wealthier. Hes just jealous！”可知他想有更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，变得更富有，还认为老人在嫉妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。59. B考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Toms face.”可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。60. A考查推理判断。综观全文可知贪婪的Dennis因为其贪婪，结果失去了一切，故A项“贪多必失”，符合语境。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, Ive found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, its the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also e in different colorssilver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.Its fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道)Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just cant provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather acpanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的)To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didnt want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide, so crossing took time，skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.56According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?ABecause they are traditional and safe.BBecause they are convenient and inexpensive.CBecause they are colorful and available.DBecause they are fast and environment friendly.57The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended _Ato ride it for funBto use it for transportCto experience local cultureDto improve his riding skills58How did the author feel about his street crossing?AIt was boring.BIt was difficult.CIt was lively.DIt was wonderful.59Which of the following best describes the authors biking experience?AThe author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.BThe author was annoyed by the air while riding.CThe author was praised by the other bikers.DThe author took great pleasure in biking.【要点综述】 本文是记叙文，主要讲作者来到中国，为了体验当地文化，买了一辆自行车在大街上骑自行车的快乐经历。56B细节理解题。根据“对许多人来说，这是今天最简单、最便宜的出行方式”可推断，流行的原因是自行车不贵而且方便，所以选B。57C推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“渴望成为中国文化的一部分，我决定买一辆自行车”可推断，作者是想体验中国当地文化。58B细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“过马路是最大的问题”，再加上下文的描述可知，对他来说，过马路是很困难的。59D推理判断题。最后一段中描述“在自行车上这种感觉是令人惊讶的，微风吹过我的脸和头发，这种感觉是美妙的”说明作者在骑自行车的过程中是快乐的。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。(xx临沂市三模，D)Maps of the worlds population show that the majority of people today live near water. We live along coastlines, around bays, up the course of rivers and streams and on islands. We also vacation at the beach and find fort fishing on a lake. Nothing makes small children happier than the chance of playing in water. More surprisingly, this human favor for water makes evolutionary(进化的)sense. Sure, we need drinking water to live, but we have also benefited from whats swimming under the waves. Neuroscientist Crawford of the University of North London has proposed that our ancient ancestors attached to the sea, and that their devotion paid off by allowing the human species to develop large and plex brains. Crawford claims that when humans separated from apes(类人猿)and appeared in the forests of Africa, they stuck close to rivers and beaches and started catching fish, clams and crabs. That seafood was packed with omega3 fatty acids, essential fatty acids that promote brain cell growth. Its no coincidence, Crawford claims, that human brain growth began to increase rapidly once we left the woods and headed for the beach. Scientists have also discovered that people who eat fish regularly are less likely to suffer from depression than those who eat less seafood. Biochemist Hibbelin of the National Institutes of Health has shown that across cultures there is a direct link between amount of fish eaten each week and rates of depression. More interestingly, Hibbelin and researcher Laura have found that fish is monly used as a symbol of happiness and good health in various religions and cultures. We know that fish and the sea are good for us, and so we seek them out. We vacation on the coast and see the waves e and go, feeling happiness has taken over our brain. When we move inland, or go home from vacation, we lose touch with our sea roots and feel unhappy. 文章大意：这是一篇说明文。喜欢水并寻找有水的地方是人类的天性。16To explain humans favor for water, the author _.
