2.In 1943,when I was 4,my parents moved from Coeur d'Alene,Idaho,to Fairbanks,Alaska,where adventure was never very far away.
    We arrived in the summer,just in time to enjoy the midnight sun.All that sunlight was fantastic for Mom's vegetable garden.Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,so she didn't care much about my bedtime.
    Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk.That left me in a mess.I usually managed to find some trouble to get into.Once I had a little Are going in the dirt basement of a hotel.I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going.The smoke got pretty bad,though,and when I made my exit,a crowd and the police were there to greet me.The policemen took my matches and drove me.
    Mom and Dad were occupied in the garden and Dad told the police to keep me,and they did!I had a tour of the prison before Mom rescued me.I hadn't turned 5 yet.
As I entered kindergarten,the serious cold began to set in.Would it surprise you to know that I soon left part of my tongue on a metal handrail at school?
    As for Leonhard Seppala,famous as a dog sledder (驾雪橇者),I think I knew him well because I was taken for a ride with his white dog team one Sunday.At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was,but I do remember the ride well.I was wrapped (包裹) heavily and well sheltered from the freezing and blowing weather.
    In 1950,we moved back to Coeur d'Alene,but we got one more Alaskan adventure when Leonhard invited us eight years later by paying a visit to Idaho to attend a gathering of former neighbors of Alaska.

35.What can be inferred about the author's family?C.
A.His father was a cruel man.B.His parents didn't love him.
C.His parents used to be very busy.D.His mother didn't have any jobs.
36.What happened when the author was 4?D.
A.He learned to smoke.
B.He was locked in a basement.
C.He was arrested by the police.
D.He nearly caused a fire accident.
37.Which of the following is true?A.
A.Leonhard was good at driving dog sleds.
B.The author spent his whole childhood in Alaska.
C.Leonhard often visited the author's family after 1950.
D.The author suffered a lot while taking the dog sled in Alaska.
38.What is the author's purpose of writing the text?A.
A.To look back on his childhood with adventures.
B.To describe the extreme weather of Alaska.
C.To express how much he misses Leonhard.
D.To show off his pride in making trouble.

分析 本文作者回忆了自己童年时候发生的一件件的事情,基本都是作者惹得乱子.那时父亲在铁路部门工作,母亲则是父亲手下的一名职员,他们非常忙碌而无瑕顾及作者以至于他有一次试图点燃了一桶油漆,但不至于引起一场大火,此外,在文中作者还提到了自己第一次坐雪橇的美好回忆.作者写这篇文章是为了向我们讲述他的童年回忆.

解答 35.C  推理判断题.根据文章第二段Working in the garden at midnight tended to throw her timing off,和第三段内容Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mom was his clerk.That left me in a mess.可知在铁路部门工作的父母忙于工作无瑕顾及作者,由此判断作者的父母非常忙碌,故选C.
36.D  细节理解题.在文章第三段I had tried to light a barrel(桶)of paint but couldn't really get a good fire going.The smoke got pretty bad,though.(我试图点燃一桶油漆,但并不至于引起一场大火,但是浓烟滚滚),此处作者讲述了自己小时候玩火差点酿成火灾的事情,在第四段末尾I  hadn't turned 5 yet.当时我还不到5岁,由此可知当作者四岁的时候他的淘气险些酿成火灾,故选D.
37.A  细节理解题.由第六段At the time I didn't realize what a superstar he was,but I do remember the ride well.可知作者擅长狗雪橇,所以A正确;误解分析:由最后一段In 1950,we moved back to Coeur d'Alene,作者后来搬家了,故 B选项内容错误;而C选项中作者提到Leonhard1950年以后还经常去他家,内容与文章末段提示的信息矛盾,所以C错;根据文章第四段As for Leonhard Seppala,famous as a dog sledder和but I do remember the ride well.可知Leonhard Seppala以驾雪橇的高超技术而著名,而且作者第一次的乘坐雪橇也是非常愉快的,故D选项错误;故选A.
38.A  主旨大意题.文章开头提出自己在四岁的时候,一家人搬到了阿拉斯加,在那里他的冒险生活就开始了,然后在下文中作者回忆了在那里发生的事情,由此可知本文主要讲述了作者小时候的事情,是作者对童年的回忆,故选A.

点评 本文考察学生对人物传记类阅读的掌握,可以采用寻读的方法查找细节描述事实,根据文章内容作出合理推断.

15.Robert A.Heinlein was considered one of American's"Big Three"western science fiction  authors,along with Issac Asimov and Arthur C.Clarke.He was born in a family of seven   children in 1907,attended public school in Kansas City,and graduated from Central High   School in 1924.In 1929 he graduated from fhe U.S.Naval Academy at Annapolis,and served   as all officer in the Navy.This experience had a strong influence on his character and writing.At the age of thirty-two,he turned his hand to writing science fiction.
    Heinlein's first published stories appeared in the action-adventure magazine Astounding   Science Fiction in 1939.Under his influence writers started to examine how technology might   affect the everyday lives of ordinary people,and society in general.

    Within the framework of his science fiction stories,Heinlein repeatedly addressed such   social themes as the importance of self-confidence and the duties each person owes to the   society.In his fiction,Heinlein coined words that have become part of the English language,including"grok"and"waldo".He also described a modern version of a"waterbed"in his novel The Door Into Summer and several of his works have been adapted for film and television.
