27、(共35分)上周六苏州遭遇了可怕的暴雨。你正在户外,亲历了此次暴雨。请根据下表,用英语描述你所看到的情景,并谈谈你的感想。词数80左右。发生时间上周六当时情况狂风暴雨,寸步难行,天变得很黑,路上发生了多起车祸;其中有一个驾驶员的左腿严重受伤,幸运的是,你的感想_ 参考答案一、1. C 点拨: 短语辨析法。start fire生火; cause fire引起火灾; catch fire着火。很少出现begin fire。句意为“由于闪电击中了它, 那个房子着火了”, 故选C。 2. C 点拨: 短语辨析法。put away 整理好; throw away扔掉; wash away 冲走; tak

28、e away拿走。句意为“据报道, 在海啸来临时, 海水冲走了很多东西, 比如房子、汽车等等”。故选C。3. B 点拨: hundred、thousand这类数量单位词, 前面有具体数字时, 是不能加s的; 后面有of时, 是需要加上s, 表示数百的, 或数千的。故选B。4. A 点拨: 句意为“既然你知道了英语是重要的, 你就应该把它学好”。Since既然, 符合题意。故选A。5. B 点拨: 根据题意, 我看不清黑板, 说明我是坐在比我高的男孩之后的, 是空间上的, 应用behind。故选B。6. B 点拨: 考查连词。句意为“男生在下棋, 女孩在操场上打排球”。两者都用的进行时, 所以是

29、同时发生的, 应用while连接, 表示当时。故选B。7. A 点拨: 第一个if意为“是否”; 第二个if意为“如果”。表示“是否”时, 从句使用其意义上所表示的时态, 故用一般将来时; 表示“如果”时, 需要遵循主将从现的原则, 故用一般现在时, 故选A。8. A 点拨: 短语辨析法。先考查break down, 指汽车的抛锚, break out指爆发; 后考查because引导从句, because of后加名词性短语。the bad weather是名词性短语, 故选A。9. A 点拨: 考查名词。句意为“当地震发生时, 我认为最重要的安全法则是保持冷静”。rule规则, 故选A。1

30、0. A 点拨: 考查时态。句意为“你认为新裙子的颜色怎么样啊？对不起, 我刚正在思考其他东西, 我没有看”。根据句意可知, 是指刚刚我正思考其他的东西, 所以是过去进行时。故选A。二、11. B 点拨: 考查形容词。通过后文对第一天的描述, 例如需要搭建帐篷、生火等可知第一天是充满困难的。12. A 点拨: 考查名词。 根据文章在山上参加生存训练课, 除了需要帐篷、食物、指南针之外, 还需要地图。并且第四段也有提到 map。13. A 点拨: 考查动词。 根据上文我们需要搭建帐篷可知 Fanny 建议露营在附近的草地上。suggest 建议; finish 完成; imagine 想象; e

31、njoy 享受。所以选A。14. D 点拨: 考查形容词。根据前文 Mr. Lee 指出, 如果下雨, 我们建在草地边的帐篷会被淹掉。水往低处走, 所以我们应建在更高的地方。15. C 点拨: 考查副词。根据空格前, 搭帐篷很困难, 空格后又称 Mr. Lee 帮助了我们, 所以我们很幸运。surprisingly令人惊讶地; suddenly突然地; luckily, 幸运的是; usually通常。16. A 点拨: 根据后文Peter 说“如果我们带了零食, 就不会挨饿了。”以及后面生火做饭, 说明每个人都很饿。17. C 点拨: 考查动词。根据后面让他来帮助我们一起生火, 所以是停止抱

32、怨。start“开始”; mind“介意”; stop“停止”; continue“继续”。所以选C。18. D 点拨: 考查副词。我们告诉 Peter不要抱怨, 而是来帮我们一起生火做饭。yet“还”; too“也”; again“再一次”; instead“代替”。 19. A点拨: 考查动词短语。意识到我们生火有困难时, 他最终来帮忙了。help out“帮助摆脱困境”; give out“公布; 用完”; work out“解决”; start out“开始; 着手”。20. B 点拨: 考查动词。我们被奇怪的声音吵醒, 所以 Peter 跑出去看发生了什么。develop“发展”;

33、happen“发生”; begin“开始”; follow“跟随”。21. B 点拨: 考查动词短语。 根据上文早餐被奶牛吃了, Mr. Lee 对 Peter 说是因为昨晚没有把食物正确储存起来。throw off“摆脱”; put away“存储”; eat up“吃完”; sell out“卖完”。22. C 点拨: 考查名词。 空格后表示解释说明, 意为“用地图和指南针找到一个秘密地”。 所以这是一项任务。plan“计划”; lesson“课程”; task“任务”; problem“问题”。23. D 点拨: 考查连词。句意为“我们在其他组找到之前成功找到了秘密地”。 till“直到

34、为止”; after“在之后”; when“当时”; before“在之前”。24. D 点拨: 考查代词。 空格所在的句子主语是We, feel proud of oneself为某人自己感到自豪。所以选D。25. B 点拨: 考查名词。句意为“生存训练课是一次很棒的经历”。example“例子”; experience“经历”; mistake“错误”; competition“竞赛”。三、26. D 点拨: 文章出处题。这样的一篇报道一定出自对自然灾害详细描写的科学类的读物中, 所以选D。27. A 点拨: 细节理解题。文章第二段的描写告诉我们大多数台风发生在7、8和9月份, 也就是比较热的季节。故选A。28. B 点拨: 细节理解题。整个文章的第三段就是对台风形成的描写, 先是海水蒸发, 空气变热, 导致流动变快, 形成了风, 风加速后就形成了台风。故选B。29. C 点拨: 细节判断题。A项, 随着空气的温度升高, 风速应加快, 所以是错误的; B选项
