8、答案】 阅读理解 (201*石家庄质检) Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart. One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work. The

9、 elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8­foot­high fence, in order not to see his plac

10、e any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown. At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! In

11、stead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. They turned to see

12、the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I've a lot of other work for you，” said the elder brother. “I'd love to stay on，” the carpenter said, “but I have so many more bridges to build.”1. What was the life like for the two brothers before the conflict? A.

15、both satisfied with the carpenter's work. D. The carpenter planned to build an 8­foot­high fence as asked to.答案与解析：这是一篇寓意很深的记叙文：一个聪明又乐于助人的木匠使产生冲突的兄弟俩和好如初，化干戈为玉帛。1B细节理解题。从文章第一段“It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.”可以看出，发生冲突之前他们是和平相处的。

16、2D推理判断题。从文章对木匠的描述和他干活的情况看，他是一个聪明、乐于助人、技术熟练的木匠。3A主旨概括题。文章主要讲述了一位木匠在两个农场之间架了一座桥，这座桥化解了兄弟之间的冲突的故事。因此，无论从具体的桥还是从寓意上的桥来讲它都是一件“杰作”。故A项作为标题最合适。4C细节理解题。由最后一段中兄弟俩的表现尤其是“A fine piece of work！”可知兄弟俩对木匠做的活很满意，故选C项。其他选项与原文内容不符。*结束 (201*重庆调研) Early one morning the sub­inspector at a station at the other end

17、of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it? I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me

18、on the way and told me about the elephant's doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner, had set out to run after it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours' journey a

19、way, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebody's bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruit­stalls. I came round the hut and saw a man's dead body sprawling in the mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead

20、many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the_peacebreaker standing beside, looking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few se

21、conds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him. You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and only time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook

22、the ground.1. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE? A. He was an Indian. B. He knew elephants well. C. He was not a local villager. D. He was the owner of the elephant.2. The elephant made so much trouble because _. A. its owner treated him cruelly B. it got out of control C. i

23、t hated the village people D. it was a wild elephant3. The underlined words “the peacebreaker” in Paragraph 4 refer to _. A. the elephant B. the dead man C. the author D. the sub­inspector4. It can be inferred that the author felt _ when he shot the elephant. A. excited B. sad C. frightened D.

24、happy答案与解析：1C正误判断题。A项错是因为被大象踩死的那个人是印度人；B项错是因为作者根本不了解大象；D项错在作者根本不是大象的主人。从第一段和第二段知，作者是奉命带上枪去制止那头捣乱的大象的，应该是警察，故C项正确，即他不是村民。2B推理判断题。从第三段知那头驯养的大象跑了出来，造成了不少麻烦。文章中没有提到A、C项，故只是那头大象失去了控制。3A指代题。从画线词the peacebreaker前后可知，它就是那头捣乱的大象。4B推理判断题。从最后一段描述的作者开枪前的犹豫及对大象死前挣扎的描述可知作者是很悲伤的。*结束1、（南京市2011届高三第一次模拟考试）  Nine

25、teen-year-old Christopher Paolini has always loved adventure books. In fact, he plotted out his first book, Eragon, when he was just fifteen!

26、 up being one of the best-selling authors of all time!     Reporter:_    Christopher Paolini(CP): I love fantasy. I love the sense of awe and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie. Eragon was an attempt to express that. When I was about twelve,

27、I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher. It's about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ended up hatching. It stuck in my head. Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.    Reporter: Where else do you get y

28、our ideas?    CP: I'm definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language, imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder-authors who write about things that other people don't.    Reporter: What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?

29、0;   CP: Probably the editing because I wasn't used to it. It was a kind of shock doing it. But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I'd never paid much attention to before. I'd say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in

30、difficulty. My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.    Reporter: How do you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process?    CP: Write about what you enjoy the most or what

31、touches you the most; otherwise you'll never be able to survive a book-length project.    Reporter: Anything else you'd like to share with our readers?    CP: Before I wrote Eragon, I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn't writing bl

32、indly. That helps. I really poured my heart and soul into it.

33、ng process.DThe creative use of language.(4)Which of the following BEST indicates Paolini devoted himself completely to writing Eragon?A"Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most."B"Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself."C"I

35、人询问的问题是“什么激发他创作了 Eragon 这部作品？”。故选B项。(2)B  本题考查代词指代。根据上下文内容可知 that 指代的是上句中提到的 the sense of awe and wonder。(3)C  本题考查细节理解。根据CP对记者第三个问题的回答 "I'd say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty" 可知本题的答案是C。 (4)D  本题考查细节理解。选项A说明的是写作内容，B项说明的是创作作品的目的，C项说明的是写

36、作之前的构思所花的时间，这三项都不能说明 Paolini 创作时的全身心投入，D项很显然符合题意。*结束(201*河南五校联考)Welcome to Language upon Thames.
