The Great Barn Adventure
【题文】One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn(谷仓). 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 (升降机井) 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(灭火器),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. 【小题1】When the author got inside the barn, he _______.
A. noticed a man on the elevator B. opened the chained sliding door C. saw many dead mice in the dark D. found a shaft leading to the top 【小题2】Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?
a. The elevator stopped halfway. b. He entered the round grain barn. c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.
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
【小题3】After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______. A. inspired B. relieved C. surprised D. disappointed
【小题4】From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.
A. passions B. dreams C. curiosity D. imagination 【答案】 【小题1】D 【小题2】A 【小题3】B 【小题4】C 【解析】 【小题1】细节理解题。根据第二段“After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.”可知作者进入谷仓的时候,看见一个升降机井伸到顶部。故选D。
【小题2】排序题。根据短文1-4段描述可知作者先是进入谷仓,然后电梯停在半空,他爬到
了升降机井的顶部,最后他发现一个灭火器,打开了灭火器。故选A。
【小题3】推理判断题。根据最后一段“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.”我不确定我是否为自己还活着或者没有被抓住而感到更兴奋,但是我一路跑回了家中。据此可知作者感觉是松了一口气。故选B。 【小题4】推理判断题。根据第三段“For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down.”可知作者是一个充满好奇心的男孩。故选C。 【题型】阅读理解
【备注】这篇短文中作者主要讲述了自己小时候的一次冒险故事。 【结束】 B
【题文】As we enjoy the summer ocean waves along the beaches, we may think nervouslyabout Steven Spielberg's Jaws and the great fear that sharks inspire in us. Yet we are happy to see global efforts to protect the declining number of sharks. The world has realized that we need the species, like sharks, to keep a balanced ecosystem.
Sharks, in particular, are “in”these days. Thanks to good public policy and famous stars such as Jackie Chan and Ang Lee, killing sharks for fin soup is no longer cool.
The demand for shark fins has been rising for decades, threatening sharks with extinction—up to 100 million sharks are killed each year just for their fins. But we have started to reverse the trend, particularly in many areas of the United States and overseas where restaurants once proudly provided delicious shark fins on the menu.
In California, a ban on the sale and possession of shark fin soup has gone into effect this year through the efforts of Wild Aid and other organizations.
Overseas marketing and public efforts featuring posters on public transportation systems and TV ads have been underway for the past few years. These efforts all show signs of success, on both the supply side and the demand side of trade in shark fins.
Actually, stopping the killing of sharks is part of a broader movement to stop the killing of wild animals and the buying and selling of wildlife products. These products come from hunting elephants, tigers and rhinos, besides killing marine life.
Whether it is shark fin soup or ivory piano keys, killing animals is big business. The hunting of elephants in search of ivory tusks for luxury(奢侈的)goods has become a full-scale war. The decrease of African elephant populations is alarming. Together with international partners, the United States is leading the worldwide effort to reduce demand for high-end products that rely on killing animals.
【小题1】The underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means _______. A. show B. keep C. follow D. change 【小题2】From the passage, we know _______.
A. Jackie Chan and Ang Lee make fin soup popular B. a lot of wild animals have been killed for products C. Steven Spielberg's Jaws inspires us to protect sharks D. the number of African elephants has been increased 【小题3】What can we infer from the passage?
A. More animals for high-end products will be saved. B. People have kicked the habit of having shark fin soup. C. Shark fins will not be available any more in restaurants.
D. Global efforts have succeeded in stopping killing wild animals.
