Question

【題目】 Anyone who knew Jack knew him well. He was the first to hide under the bed covers every time the sky grew grey and thunder was heard in the distance. He was in great fear of storms. However, that day changed it all.

With dark clouds in the morning, Jack was in the car with his sister, Emily, who was driving them home. Jack was holding the sides of his seat tightly. As a result, his knuckles (指關(guān)節(jié)) turned white. Suddenly, the treacherous road conditions sent the car into a slide. The vehicle went off the wet and slippery road, rolled several times and finally rest upside down. Fortunately, both of them were wearing seat belts. Head bleeding heavily, Emily was conscious but unable to move. Thankfully Jack was unhurt.

Water poured through the broken windows of the car. Suddenly, Jack recalled something. He quickly unfastened the seat belt and moved out of the passenger window. With rain beating against his face and arms, Jack made his way to the driver’s side with great difficulty. He managed to pull her through the window. Suddenly, he felt a strong pain on his arms. It was only later that Jack realized the broken pieces of the window had cut them while he was pulling his sister through the window. Finally Jack dragged Emily up to the road. They were soon rescued.

Emily later recalled her terrifying experience and was truly amazed by his courage. Jack’s act of courage was motivated by his favourite book: The Little Engine That Could. In it, when everyone had given up hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy toys and candies over the hill to the children waiting on the other side. The Little Engine had shown courage and taken action.

Obviously, we cannot attribute Jack’s bravery to that one story but without doubt, the book had left a deep impression on him and inspired him to respond positively in a difficult situation.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】C

【4】C

【解析】

本文是記敘文。認識杰克的人都知道他非常害怕暴風雨。但是在一次大雨中，他勇敢地救出了妹妹Emily。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“With rain beating against his face and arms, Jack made his way to the driver’s side with great difficulty.”因為雨很大，雨水打在杰克的臉上和手臂上，杰克過去到駕駛座那邊就很困難。故選B項。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段中劃線詞所在的句子“…road conditions sent the car into a slide. The vehicle went off the wet and slippery road”，可知，路況不好，路面又濕又滑，這樣汽車就打滑。因此可以猜測“treacherous”意思為“危險的”。故選A項。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中“Emily later recalled her terrifying experience and was truly amazed by his courage.” Emily真的被Jack的勇氣驚呆了。surprised 與amazed是同義詞。因此可知Emily對Jack的變化感到驚訝。故選C項。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中關(guān)于Jack 最喜歡的書“The Little Engine That Could”的介紹“In it, when everyone had given up hope, the Little Engine carried the heavy toys and candies over the hill to the children waiting on the other side.”，通過其中“the heavy toys，candies，the children”等詞可以看出，這本書是寫給孩子看的。故選C項。
