Just below the tree, they saw grains strewn (撒满) all over the ground. The pigeons were happy to have found en

2、ough food to eat. All the pigeons came down from the tree and started eating the grains. As they were doing so, a huge net fell on them and trapped them all. The pigeons were taken aback. They noticed a hunter sitting at a distance from the tree, a bow and arrow in hand. The pigeons realized it was

3、the hunter who had trapped them in the net. The hunter got up and began to move towards the pigeons. The leader of the pigeons spoke, “Friends, we are in great trouble. The hunter will catch us if we do not act swiftly in a few seconds. There is only one option available at this moment. Let all of u

4、s use our force together and fly up along with the net. If all of us use our force and fly together, we can fly carrying the net along with us. Let us start now.” All the pigeons agreed with him and flew high carrying the net along with them. After traveling enough distance away from the hunter, the

5、 pigeons settled on a tree and carefully came out of the net one by one and thus escaped the evil design of the hunter.1. Who strewed the grains over the ground? A. A villager. B. The hunter. C. The pigeon owner. D. The writer.2. The word “_” has the closest meaning to the underlined word “option” A

6、. reason B. choice C. action D. opinion3. How did the pigeons react when they got trapped? A. They didnt know what to do. B. They tried to fly in all directions. C. They remained rather calm. D. They decided to fight for their lives.4. This story wants to tell us that _. A. two heads are better than

7、 one B. confidence will save everyone C. teamwork can work wonders D. actions speak louder than words答案与解析：一群饥肠辘辘的鸽子在觅食时中了猎人的圈套，领头的鸽子临危不惧，镇定自若，带领其他鸽子最终从网中成功逃出。1B细节理解题。根据第二段第三句中的内容可知在地面上抛洒谷物的是那个“猎人”。2B猜测词义题。上一段的最后提到猎人朝鸽子走过来，再结合领头鸽所说的话可推测它们此刻只有一种“选择”。3C推理判断题。结合第三段领头鸽所说的话以及下一段第一句中的内容可推测它们落入圈套后相当镇静。根据常识

8、可知如果鸽子朝四面八方飞，他们就不可能将网带起来，所以B项不正确。4C主旨大意题。群鸽在生命危急之时在领头鸽的带领下共同努力，最终摆脱了猎人的邪恶圈套，由此可知本文的主旨是“团队协作可以创造奇迹”。A项表示“两个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮”；B项表示“自信可挽救每一个人”；D项表示“事实胜于雄辩”，都不能很好地概括文章大意。B(2010石家庄质检) Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was the first serious one between them

9、 in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart. One morning, a man with a carpenters toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you.

11、 the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmers eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The b

12、rothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each others hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait! Stay a few days. Ive a lot of other work for you，” said the elder brother. “Id love to stay on，” the carpenter said, “but

16、erious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side.”可以看出，发生冲突之前他们是和平相处的。2D推理判断题。从文章对木匠的描述和他干活的情况看，他是一个聪明、乐于助人、技术熟练的木匠。3A主旨概括题。文章主要讲述了一位木匠在两个农场之间架了一座桥，这座桥化解了兄弟之间的冲突的故事。因此，无论从具体的桥还是从寓意上的桥来讲它都是一件“杰作”。故A项作为标题最合适。4C细节理解题。由最后一段中兄弟俩的表现尤其是“A fine piece of work！”可知兄弟俩对木匠做的活很满意，故选C项。其他选项与原

17、文内容不符。C(2010重庆调研) Early one morning the subinspector at a station at the other end of the town rang me. An elephant was damaging the town. Would I please come and do something about it? I did not know what I could do, but I got onto a horse and started out. I took my gun, maybe too small to kill an

18、elephant, but I thought the noise might scare him. Various local people stopped me on the way and told me about the elephants doings. It was not, of course, a wild elephant, but a tame one. It had been chained up but last night it had broken its chain and escaped. Its owner, had set out to run after

19、 it, but had taken the wrong direction. He was now twelve hours journey away, and in the morning the elephant had suddenly appeared in the town. It had already destroyed somebodys bamboo hut (棚屋), killed a cow and turned over fruitstalls. I came round the hut and saw a mans dead body sprawling in th

20、e mud. He was an Indian, and he could not have been dead many minutes. The people said that the elephant caught him with its trunk, put its foot on his back and grounded him into the earth. This was the rainy season and he was lying on his stomach in the soft mud, the_peacebreaker standing beside, l

21、ooking innocent. As I lifted my gun, I hesitated a few seconds. Then I fired. That was a shot that did for him. You could see the pain of it knock the last strength from his legs. But in falling he seemed for a moment to rise, his trunk reaching skyward like a tree. He trumpeted, for the first and o

22、nly time. And then down he came, with a crash that shook the ground.1. Which of the following statements about the author is TRUE? A. He was an Indian. B. He knew elephants well. C. He was not a local villager. D. He was the owner of the elephant.2. The elephant made so much trouble because _. A. it

23、s owner treated him cruelly B. it got out of control C. it hated the village people D. it was a wild elephant3. The underlined words “the peacebreaker” in Paragraph 4 refer to _. A. the elephant B. the dead man C. the author D. the subinspector4. It can be inferred that the author felt _ when he sho

24、t the elephant. A. excited B. sad C. frightened D. happy答案与解析：1C正误判断题。A项错是因为被大象踩死的那个人是印度人；B项错是因为作者根本不了解大象；D项错在作者根本不是大象的主人。从第一段和第二段知，作者是奉命带上枪去制止那头捣乱的大象的，应该是警察，故C项正确，即他不是村民。2B推理判断题。从第三段知那头驯养的大象跑了出来，造成了不少麻烦。文章中没有提到A、C项，故只是那头大象失去了控制。3A指代题。从画线词the peacebreaker前后可知，它就是那头捣乱的大象。4B推理判断题。从最后一段描述的作者开枪前的犹豫及对大象死

25、前挣扎的描述可知作者是很悲伤的。二、夹叙夹议文A(2010河南部分重点联考)Most Americans would have a difficult time telling you, specifically, what are the values which Americans live by.
