    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

     

           This award winning image shows the extraordinary moment when a lemon shark stared into a lens（镜头）with an obvious cheeky grin（露齿的笑）. Showing a close-up of a lemon shark’s face on the surface at sunset, it was recently selected from more than 20,000 photos as winner of the Oceans division of the international Nature’s Best Photography 2008 Windland Smith Rice Awards.

           Amateur photographer Bruce Yates, snapped the named “Cheshire Cat Grin”(露齿笑的柠檬鲨) photograph in July last year in the Bahamas. 54-year-old Mr Yates, from Seattle, said, “My wife and I were on a boat trip to see and dive with sharks in the northwest part of the Bahamas, in an expansive area many miles from land with relatively shallow water.”

           “The shark was roughly eight feet long and only a few inches from my camera.” describes Bruce, “However, I was not actually in the water for that photo ― it was taken when I was sitting on the boat, holding my camera partly in water. Dozens of lemon sharks were around the boat competing for small bits of fish. The sunset is visible in the background.”

           “Although this particular photo makes it look like the shark is smiling, it is really just closing its mouth after trying to grab a bit of fish. It is an expression that I have never seen on a shark before, and I doubt whether I could get that shot again if I tried for the rest of my life.”

           The lemon shark inhabits inshore waters from around America, Brazil, the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and other areas in the Atlantic. Despite their large teeth, they represent a small threat to humans with only 10 causeless attacks recorded and no deaths.

           Bruce, who owns an investment management firm, first got into photography 15 years ago when he undertook a scuba diving course, and his passion for nature photography has led him to many remote parts of the world, from the Arctic Circle to the coral reefs of Indonesia.

     

    63.   According to the passage, ________.

    A. the photo of “Cheshire Cat Grin” was taken in the morning

    B. the photo was taken in water

    C. the smiling shark in the photo is really just closing its mouth

    D. Bruce is a professional photographer

    64. We learn from the reading that ________.

    A. lemon sharks are suitable for open water shark diving

    B. lemon sharks live in deep water

    C. there have only been 10 reported lemon shark attacks and deaths

    D. lemon sharks have large teeth and are a great threat to humans

    65. The underlined word “inshore” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by ________.

        A. faraway                            B. coastal                            C. deep                        D. wide

    阅读理解。
         When I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach
    (田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生).
    John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join
    our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he
    could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted
    the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
         About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning
    various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out
    for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
    you're so good at it."
         John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could
    do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
         From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down
    to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves,
    I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!
    1. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's _____.
    [     ]
    A. PE marks
    B. self-confidence
    C. interest in sports
    D. state of health
    2. Why did John take part in the track team?
    [     ]
    A. He had been an excellent runner.
    B. He was encouraged by his teacher.
    C. He liked running more than tennis.
    D. He had no tennis coach to train him.
    3. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.
    [     ]
    A. to build a close teacher-student relationship
    B. to introduce a new way of sports training
    C. to explain the value of sports and games
    D. to show the importance of encouragement
    4. The passage is mainly written for _____.
    [     ]
    A. teachers
    B. parents
    C. students
    D. players

         Since the beginning of winter break, I have been committed to doing lots of the things I could not do
    while school was in session.
         One of the Oscar-nominated (提名的) movies I’ve seen this winter break is Slum-dog Millionaire.
    Hopefully readers will also have an opportunity to enjoy the movie the way I have halfway around the
    globe!
         Slum-dog Millionaire is about a poor boy from the slums (贫民窟), Jamal, who ends up winning the
    grand prize in an Indian show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire". The night before he answers the
    prize-winning question, Jamal is captured by the police and tortured (拷打). They don’t believe a
    slumdog like Jamal could answer seven questions correctly and possibly win 20 million rupees (卢比)!
    But, as the movie unfolds, Jamal reveals (透露) how he found the answers to each of the questions.
    Viewers also learn about Jamal's childhood, his selfish older brother Salim, and his childhood lover,
    Latika.
         The movie’s point, however, is not just to tell a typical story of the underdog (弱者) who becomes a
    hero. The director also uses Slum-Dog Millionaire to give viewers a taste of India. The movie begins in
    Jamal’s childhood home in the slums of India. The place where he and his family lived reminds one of the
    hutongs that used to make up a large part of Old Beijing. Jamal and his brother grow and travel across
    India, meanwhile surviving as slum-dogs and cheaters, and India ages with them. By the time Jamal is 17
    or 18, his old home has been replaced by a giant skyscraper (摩天大楼) financial center. Jamal and
    Salim take a moment to reminisce (回忆) about their old lives, as they stand high up in a skyscraper that
    is still under construction. The view from above reminded me of a similar view I had just two years ago in China: I was standing there in the living room of a family friend’s modern apartment, looking out through
    a window down to the shacks (简陋的房屋) below just next to the building complex. It was amazing
    how affluence and poverty could live so close together.
         So, what was most appealing about the movie to me and my Indian friends was how we could relate
    to the scenarios (情节) presented in the movie. More important than the plot was the window onto the
    social and economic situations in Asia that it provided.
         By Jennifer, 16, New Jersey, US
    1. Which of the following is TRUE about the movie?
    A. Jamal finally won a big prize after struggling hard to earn an honest living.
    B. Suspected of cheating, Jamal was arrested by the police before winning the prize.
    C. Jamal and his brother recalled their past standing where it used to be their home.
    D. Jamal remained in his childhood home in the slums before he was 17 or 18.
    2. Viewers can learn from the movie EXCEPT__________.
    A. Jamal's childhood and his bitter experience of wandering across the country.
    B. The rapid social changes and economic development in India.
    C. The poor life of people in the slums against the prosperity of cities in Asia.
    D. The secret of becoming a millionaire through personal struggle.
    3. Why does the movie appeal to the writer?
    A. It's a typical story of the underdog who becomes a hero, which the writer admires most.
    B. It's an Oscar-nominated movie that helps the writer understand the nature of human.
    C. It has an exciting and complicated plot that attracts the writer very much.
    D. It reminds the writer of her experience in China and helps her know about Asian countries.
    4. What can we infer from the reading passage?
    A. The writer is now studying in a school in China.
    B. The movie will win the Oscar because of the social problems presented in it.
    C. The writer is surprised at the gap between the rich and poor in developing countries.
    D. The movie is only welcomed by Americans who have Indian friends.
    5. What is the main purpose of writing the passage?
    A. To introduce a movie to readers and share her views about it.
    B. To persuade more viewers to go to the cinema to see the movie.
    C. To express the writer’s enthusiasm towards Asia and its culture.
    D. To reveal the true social reality in the developing countries.
