本文記述作者作為一名大學(xué)新生到校第一天的不尋常經(jīng)歷。
1. D。根據(jù)語境(提著一個大箱子爬上三樓),再結(jié)合四個選項的意思,只有 tired 最合適。
2. C。根據(jù)下文的 and fell, sending my new suitcase rolling down the stairs,可知父親是在上樓時踩空了一步(miss a step)。
3. A。根據(jù)上文(父親摔了跤),再結(jié)合四個選項的意思,只有 roll down(滾下)最合適。
4. C。根據(jù)下一段的內(nèi)容可知,“我”在設(shè)法使父親不 screaming at me。這說明父親可能會因摔跤而遷怒于我,所以此題選 C 較合適。
5. B。上文說“父親臉紅了,我知道會來麻煩了”。所以此處的語境應(yīng)是:每當(dāng)父親臉紅,我就得“小心”(look out)了。
6. D。比較四個選項,只有 D 最合適。get sb to do sth 的意思是“使某人做某事”。
7. B。scream at sb 意為“沖著某人吼叫”;make a scene 是習(xí)語,意為“吵架”或“(當(dāng)眾)大吵大鬧”。根據(jù)語境,此處應(yīng)填 without,表示避免發(fā)生其后的情況。
8. D。the rest of the year 指這一年剩下的時間。
9. A。父親提著箱子爬樓,又摔了跤,所以現(xiàn)在走起路來很費勁(with difficulty)。
10. C。根據(jù)上文所發(fā)生的不愉快的情況可知,作者認(rèn)為“她的大學(xué)生活開頭不順”。get off to a bad start 是習(xí)語,意為“開頭不順”。
11. B。根據(jù)下文可知,作者知道自己的房間號碼是316,但現(xiàn)在還未找到,所以此題應(yīng)填 find。
12. D。then again 的意思是“還有”、“另外”。
13. B。此處句意為:316 房間會不會有椅子,或者是間空(empty)房? 同時請注意第 18 空后 the room wasn’t empty at all 對此有所暗示。
14. A。從上樓到找到房間經(jīng)歷了一個過程,所以這里說“終于”(finally)找到了房間。
15. C。比較四個選項只有 C 最合適,即開鎖之后“推”(push)開門。
16. D。父親從摔跤開始 scream,到現(xiàn)在還在 complain,故用 still。
17. A。由于父親因摔跤扭傷了膝蓋,到現(xiàn)在還在報怨,“我”擔(dān)心要是房間里要是像想像的那樣,連一把椅子都沒有,那情況就更糟了。expect the worst 的意思是“預(yù)計會有更有糟的情況”。
18. C。但實際上,房間內(nèi)家具齊全,與“我”的 expecting 大不一樣,所以令“我”surprise。
19. A。同住一室的人叫 roommate。
20. B。Amy 一邊與“我們”打招呼,一邊將音樂“關(guān)小”(turn down)。
21. A。根據(jù)下文的 And of course, you’re Mr. Faber 可知,Amy 此時在打量著我的“父親”。
22. C。根據(jù)上文的描述可知,Amy 是一位熱心、客氣、有禮貌的女孩,所以此處填 smiling 較合適。
23. C。指父親受到 Amy 的友好接待之后,心情好轉(zhuǎn)了一些,所以他的臉也就 turned less red。
24. D。then 意為“當(dāng)時”、“那時”。
25. B。根據(jù)上文描述的“我們”與 Amy 的短暫接觸,以及下文的 and my first year of college would be a success 可知,我們會成為“朋友”。

Kilimanjaro Climb : a Rite of Passage for Father and Son
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I,the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol ofhis transition into manhood, and a great change in our relationship.
Day three on the mountain, Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then, on the night we climbed the crater rim, less than 40 minutes from the summit, Josh fell. I was walking ahead, and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides, debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet, shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.
“ I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time,,,he said, as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know, in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips, you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up, I climbed it. I never feltlike a kid, even when 1 was in pain. You never acted like a parent.”
“That’s not quite true,”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell-and I did not even notice, my first thought was, ‘Oh my God! I’m such an awful parent!’ But then it hit me, ‘He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn't need me to help.,”
I realized as I spoke that two people had died that night on Kilimanjaro. A child and a parent. It wasjust two friends who walked down the mountain together.
【小題1】What is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. Kilimanjaro is powerful. |
B. Kilimanjaro is hard to climb. |

A. Josh felt quite good about his independence. |
B. Josh appreciated his parents ,company and care. |
C. The father felt guilty all the time. |
D. The father should have taken good care of Josh as usual. |
A. Because two people had lost their lives while climbing Kilimanjaro. |

The Great Barn Adventure
One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn(谷倉). I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降機(jī)井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(滅火器),which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.
Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.
1.When the author got inside the barn, he _______.
A. noticed a man on the elevator
B. opened the chained sliding door

a. The elevator stopped halfway.
b. He entered the round grain barn.

d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
A. b-a-c-d???????? B. a-c-b-d???????? C. c-a-d-b????? ????????????? ????????????? D. b-c-a-d
3.After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.
A. inspired???????? B. relieved??????? C. surprised??????? ????????????? D. disappointed
4.From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.
A. passions????????????? ????????????? ? B. dreams????????????? ?????? C. curiosity????????????? ????????????? ????????????? D. imagination
