答案:B;D;C;A;B;D;D;C;A;B;C;B;D;B;C;B;C;A;D;A
解析:

  (1) 答案为B。选项A "event"(事件), 选项C "adventure"(冒险), 选项D "description"(描述-多用于具体细节)都与文意相去甚远, 故不用。

  (2) 答案为D。文章到此处所提供的信息还不足以作答该题。该题的答题依据来自"Climbers in the 1920s reported...""Over the years, the story of Yetis has continued ."以及"In 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs..." 选项A"centuries"把时间理解过长;选项C"some time"则把时间理解过短。

  (3) 答案为C。选项C "knew of"意思是"知道有...;听说过", 符合文意。 选项A heard from(收到某人的消息或来信), 选项B"关心, 喜欢",以及 选项D read about (阅读关于...的文章) 明显不合文意, 故不用。

  (4) 答案为A。选项A even(甚至) 加重其后的动词caught 的语气, 为后面的though 引出让步状语从句作铺垫。

  (5) 答案为B。选项B though (虽然)引出让步状语从句, 符合文意逻辑。

  (6)答案为D。选项Dcontinued=went on意思是"有关Yetis的传说还在继续"。选项C"occured"是个生字, 意思是"发生", 相当于"took place"。选项A"developed"(发展)无法与"the story"搭配使用, 故不用。

  (7) 答案为D。选项D "simply"(简直)用来加强语气。请看例句: He simply did not know what to do. My mother simply wouldn't put up with her.

  (8) 答案为C。选项C "felt"相当于 "thought"(认为), 与其前的动词 "believed"意思相承。"and felt that the Abominable Snowman might really resist "一句可看作是对上一句的补充。

  (9) 答案为A。选项A "exist"(存在) 与文章一开始就交代的 "He is supposed to live in the highest mountain in the world - Mount Everest"以及下面所交代的 "Further efforts have been made to find out about Yetis"相吻合。选项B "escape"和选项C "disappear"不但与文意不符, 而且二者干扰角度相似。故一并排除。

  (10)答案为B。其前交代过"Eric Shipton took photographs of a set of tracks"。故此题 选用(found) more (footprints)。 至于选项A "clearer"(更清晰的), 因前面并未提到 "tracks"是否清楚, 缺乏比 较对象, 故不用。

  (11) 答案为C。此句的意思是"脚印只不过是普通的动物足迹"。 "nothing more than" (不过是...)

  (12) 答案为B。根据常识 "as they melted(融化) and refroze in the snow"以后, 脚印 不可能变得 "deep" "rough"(粗糙), 而再经冻上的脚印倒是有可能变大, 故选项B是正确的。

  (13) 答案为D。选项D "However"(然而) 表示转折, 符合文意。选项A "In the end"(最后), 选项B "Therefore"(因此), 以及选项C "After all"(必竟)都无法串接上下文的逻辑, 故不用。

  (14) 答案为B。第11题曾提到过"脚印只不过是普通的动物足迹", 本题通过 "However"(然而)表示转折, 而选项B 'real'(真实的)刚好表现出这种转折之意。

  (15) 答案为C。第5题曾提及 "though none has ever been produced as evidence(证据)", 故此题选用 "again"。

  (16) 答案为B。选项A "rightly"(正确地), 选项C "规范地", 以及选项D "particularly"(特别地'都有一个共同点, 即 "evidence has ever been produced", 这当然有悖于文意, 故不用。

  (17) 答案为C。"take something seriously"意思是 "严肃地对待某事", 这和下面的假设 "But if they ever succeed in catching one"都是一致的, 反映了某种因果关系。

  (18) 答案为A。通过下面假设的问题 "Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?"可以推断出选项A "succeed in"。选项B "insist on", 选项C "depend on", 以及选项D "join in"都着眼于 "未捕获"的假设, 这当然不合文意。

  (19) 答案为D。下文 "Would they put it in a zoo or give it a room in a hotel?"是个再清楚不过的 "problem"。选项A "decision"(决定) 相当于"choice"(选择), 应用于有明确的挑选条件的场合。

  (20) 答案为A。第20题所在的最后一句其实与文章开头相呼应: Half-man, half-beast,而最能反映这一说法, 并和文中提及的 "hotel"一词相对的就是 "zoo"。

  More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.

A Giant Leap for China

  A few days ago, he was just Colonel(上校)Yang; few people knew his name or recognized his face.But last Thursday, when he came back to the earth after a 21-hour trip to space, Yang Liwei’s smile was seen across the world above the magic words:“China’s first spaceman”.

  The 38-year-old astronaut was sent into space at 9 a. m.Last Wednesday by China’s Shenzhou Ⅴ spacecraft, which orbited the earth 14 times.He landed safely at 6∶23 a. m.The next day, making China the third country successfully send a person into space, after the former Soviet Union and the US.

  Yang was satisfied with his job.“I have seen many landing scenes before on video, and I think ours was one of the most successful, ”He said on a special plane to Beijing after landing.Born into an ordinary family in Liaoning Province, he became a pilot in the Chinese Air Force in 1987, spending 1350 hours in the air.He joined the Chinese space programme 11 years later.

  While in space, Yang recorded everything he saw as well as showing China’s national flag and the United Nations’ flag to the people watching on TV at home.He also ate a meal of diced chicken and fried rice, before taking a 3-hour nap.The whole project went according to plan, but space exploration is not as easy as it seems.

  Anyone who saw the destruction of the US space shuttle Columbia in February this year will know that Yang took a great risk.

  He experienced extremely high temperatures, while the gravitation(重力)on take-off and landing were strong enough to force tears from his eyes.

  He has spent five years training to become a spaceman.

  “I eat all of my meals at the space programme’s dinning room and have never been able to take my son to kindergarten, ”he said.“I’ve never met his teachers.”

  But becoming China’s first spaceman has made all the effort worthwhile.

  “When I boarded the spacecraft for the first time, I couldn’t help feeling excited,” he said.“I decided that I had to fly it.”

  To Chinese people, Yang is now a hero.One visitor to a Xinhua news agency online forum(网上论坛)said, “Yang’s trip is a giant leap forward for China.”

  Officials say the next Shenzhou will be launched by 2005.China also plans to develop spacewalking and a space lab.

(1)

What is the main idea of the story?

[  ]

A.

China’s first manned flight.

B.

A hero with great courage.

C.

The first Chinese man in space.

D.

How Yang Liwei became China’s first spaceman.

(2)

How long did each of Yang’s orbits take on average?

[  ]

A.

1 hour.

B.

1.5 hours.

C.

6 hours.

D.

The story didn’t mention it.

(3)

Why did the writer mention the gravitation forces on take-off and landing?

[  ]

A.

Because it was the most dangerous part of the space flight.

B.

Because it was a very special experience.

C.

To stress how much training he had to do to prepare for the flight.

D.

To show that Yang is brave.

(4)

Why did the writer use “giant leap” in the title?

[  ]

A.

Because the space flight marked China’s great progress in the field of space exploration.

B.

Because Neil Armstrong said it was a “giant leap” for mankind when he first set foot on the moon.

C.

Because the space flight was a huge success.

D.

Both A and B.

(5)

This passage is most likely to appear in __________.

[  ]

A.

newspaper

B.

textbook

C.

science magazines

D.

biographies(传记)

Nelson Mandela

  Nelson Mandela is one of the great political leaders of our time.His lifelong efforts to the fight against racial(种族)oppression(压迫)in his country won him the admiration(钦慕)of millions worldwide, as well as the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize.As the leader of South Africa’s anti-partheid(反种族隔离)movement, Mandela was a key player in helping to move his country toward multiracial government(多民族政府)and majority rule.

  Mandela’s long, hard struggle is a victory of dignity(尊严)and hope.He’s a man of true courage.If determination and patience were considered talents, Mandela would win hands down in any sort of competition.

  accomplishments(成就)& fame(名誉)

  Nelson Mandela’s greatest accomplishments were his role in ending apartheid, and becoming South Africa’s first elected black president.He has been the recipient(收件人)of dozens upon dozens of awards, prizes and honors from countless associations and organizations, but perhaps none more prestigious(声望很高)than the Nobel Peace Prize, which he shared with former South African President Frederik W.de Klerk, in 1993.

  He has been awarded several other major peace prizes, such as the UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization)Peace Prize in 1991(also shared with F.W.de Klerk); the Africa Peace Award in 1995 and the International Gandhi Peace Prize in 2002.

  Mr.Mandela also received dozens of honorary degrees(名誉学位)from universities the world over, including the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Glasgow, London, Nottingham, and Oxford, as well as an Honorary Doctorate from the Sorbonne University in Paris(all in July 1996), and Harvard Business School’s Statesman of the Year Award in 1995-to name but a few.He has also been presented(赠送)with the key to cities such as Rome, Rio de Janeiro, London, Dublin, and Sydney, Australia(where he became the first person ever to receive the Freedom of that city).In July of 2002, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States highest civilian(公民)award.

  Model

  There’s something admirable about having been a leader fighting for a people’s freedom and equality in an unjust society.Mandela has become a worldwide symbol(楷模)of the struggle of the oppressed(被压迫者)over the oppressor.He has been celebrated in song by artists the world over, in many different languages.One entitled “Nelson Mandela”was recorded by British 2-Tone group The Special A.K.A(formerly The Specials); making the top 10 in the UK and a few other European nations in 1984.

  Personal style

  As a president, Mandela sported the typical garb(服饰)of high-ranking government officials: expensive, well-tailored(缝制精致的)suits.Now retired(退役)from public life, Mandela the elder statesman dresses in an ordinary way.

  He attends many activities, often where he is the guest of honor, in bright, colorfully patterned(典型的)traditional African robes(长袍)or shirts all the better for getting down when the music begins.

(1)

Mandel was not only admired(钦慕)for his long fight against ________but also for ________.

(2)

How many peaceful prize has Mandela got?He has got________ in 1991, ________in 1995 and ________ in 2002.

(3)

Mandela is a man full of ________and his greatest success was to play a part in getting rid of ________ and to be elected ________.

科目:高中英语 来源:2016届重庆市高一上学期期中考试英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

When I was growing up, I was ashamed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very short, and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would stare. If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never let on.

  It was difficult to coordinate(协调)our steps—his slow, mine impatient—and because of that, we didn’t say much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

  He never talked about himself as an object of sympathy, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him. I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know accurately what a “good heart” is.

  Unable to join in many activities, my father still tried to participate in some way. I now know he participated in some things indirectly through me, his only son. When I played ball (poorly), he “played” too. When I joined the Navy, he “joined” too. And when I came home on leave, he saw to it that I visited his office. Introducing me, he was really saying, “This is my son, but it is also me, and I could have done this, too, if things had been different.” Those words were never said aloud.

  He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about small affairs, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.

At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to adjust to you.”

1.The author felt unhappy walking with his father because ________.

A. he felt sympathy for his father’s physical disability

B. it was hard for them to walk at the same pace

C. he didn’t want others to know he had an ugly father

D. it was not easy for his father to keep balance

2.In the father’s view, the most important quality a good person should have is ________.

A. beautiful appearance    B. excellent health  C. a smart head D. a good heart

3.It can be inferred from the text that ________.

A. the father was proud of his only son

B. the father took part in all his son’s activities

C. the author was upset when asked to his father’s office

D. the author was an outstanding player

4.According to the last paragraph, by saying “You set the pace. I will adjust to you.” the author means that ________.

A. he is now glad to help his father to walk

B. he regrets his unwillingness to walk with his father

C. he will follow Father’s standards of being a good man

D. he will never forget how mentally strong his father was
