I couldn't resist back and another look at the beautiful moutain答案解析

科目:gzyy 来源: 题型:阅读理解

Every night for a year, Neil Simons quietly went out of his house. He wanted to “talk” to an owl settling for the night at the end of his garden. He made owl cries like a real wild owl and was happy to hear the bird “hooting (大声叫嚣)” back to him.

Last year Fred Cornes moved in next door. He heard an owl hooting and answered back. For 12 months the neighbors got into the back gardens of their homes, thinking they were talking with nature. Mr. Simmons kept a diary of all his talks with his bird friend. They would both be out again tonight if it wasn’t for a chance talk between their wives.

Mr. Simmons said. “My wife Kim was telling Fred’s wife Wendy about my owl watching and described how I got the birds to boot back. She said, ‘That’s funny — that’s just what Fred has been doing.’ Then the penny dropped, I felt such a fool when I found out. The trouble is that owl calls aren’t exactly the same and it’s easy to make a mistake.”

Mr. Cornes said, “I’m really flattered (过奖). I didn’t know I sounded so real. I love nature and I couldn’t resist hooting at the owls. I was very excited when they hooted back. I’m sorry that I was fooling my neighbor who was fooling me.”

After the talk between the wives, the two men would probably _________ .

A. stop observing owls                      B. not stay up hooting again

C. not enter the back garden again          D. make no mistakes about wild owl cries

“Then the penny dropped.” most probably means “Then __________.”

A. I understood                        B. everybody knew about it

     C. I heard the noise                      D. no money was paid

Mr. Simmons felt upset about the whole thing because __________.

A. all his efforts seemed to be meaningless  

B. his wife let out his secret by chance

C. garden owls hooted so differently

D. Fred had been doing the same

The text suggests that __________.

A. Nail seldom heard natural owl calls

B. the owl never hooted back to Neil

C. Fred was always good at pleasing owls

D. owl watching is no longer interesting to Fred

Facebook users may feel socially successful in the web world but they are more likely to perform poorly in exams. The majority of students who use Facebook every day are doing badly compared with those who don’t. About 83% of British 16 to 24-year-old people are using social networking site such as Facebook and MySpace, to keep in touch with friends and organize their social activities.

“Our study shows people who spend more time on Facebook spend less time studying,” said Aryn Karpinski, a researcher. “Every generation has its distractions(娱乐), but I think Facebook is a unique phenomenon.” Karpinski and a colleague questioned 219 US undergraduates and graduates about their study and general Internet use, as well as their specific use of Facebook. They found 65% of Facebook users accessed their account daily, checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The amount of time spent on Facebook at each log-in(登录) varied from just a few minutes to more than an hour.

Some UK students have already realized the potential danger. Daisy Jones, 21, an undergraduate, realized the time she was spending on Facebook was threatening her grades, urging her to deactivate(使无效) her account, “I was in the library and tried to write a 2,000-word essay when I realized my Facebook habit had got out of hand,” she said. “I couldn’t resist going online, when thinking about it. Before you know it , a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word.”

Jones is among the few to have realized the risks. 79% of the users, however, believed the time they spent on the site had no impact on their work. The CEO of Facebook said, “There is also academic research that shows the benefits of services like Facebook. It’s in the hands of students to decide how to spend their time.”

1.What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A.All the students who don’t use Facebook do well in exams.

B.Social networking sites have both advantages and disadvantages.

C.Facebook is the main site for British people to keep in touch.

D.Most of British students use social networking sites daily.

2.Facebook users check their account frequently to ____________.

A.spend less time on study

B.make sure new messages aren’t missed

C.practise specific use of Facebook

D.accumulate amount of time spent on Facebook.

3.Why did Daisy Jones deactivate her account?

A.She was warned about the risk of using Facebook.

B.Spending much time on Facebook affected her study

C.She wanted to write a long article in the library.

D.There was something wrong with her eyes.

4.What’s the best title of the passage ?

A.Facebook fans do worse in exams

B.Social networking sites and their fans

C.Facebook helps organize social activities

D.How to use social networking sites correctly.

“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters. 

“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”

Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.

“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said.

1.Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area.

A. panicked but optimistic                           B. nervous and hopeless

C. upset and regretful                         D. frightened but calm

2.Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?

A. Sandwiches                   B. Running water

C. Chocolates                      D. Staying up in a tree

3.What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?

a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.

b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.

c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.

d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.

e. Gaddy found himself in a crocodile-infested area.

A. a d e c b               B.     d a e b c                      C. a d e b c                        D. d e a b c

4.The article can be classified as _________.

A. a news story              B. a scientific fiction

C. a personal essay           D. a literary report

Facebook users may feel socially successful in the web world but they are more likely to perform poorly in exams. The majority of students who use Facebook every day are doing badly compared with those who don’t. About 83% of British 16 to 24-year-old people are using social networking site such as Facebook and MySpace, to keep in touch with friends and organize their social activities.
“Our study shows people who spend more time on Facebook spend less time studying,” said Aryn Karpinski, a researcher. “Every generation has its distractions(娱乐), but I think Facebook is a unique phenomenon.” Karpinski and a colleague questioned 219 US undergraduates and graduates about their study and general Internet use, as well as their specific use of Facebook. They found 65% of Facebook users accessed their account daily, checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The amount of time spent on Facebook at each log-in(登录) varied from just a few minutes to more than an hour.
Some UK students have already realized the potential danger. Daisy Jones, 21, an undergraduate, realized the time she was spending on Facebook was threatening her grades, urging her to deactivate(使无效) her account, “I was in the library and tried to write a 2,000-word essay when I realized my Facebook habit had got out of hand,” she said. “I couldn’t resist going online, when thinking about it. Before you know it , a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a word.”
Jones is among the few to have realized the risks. 79% of the users, however, believed the time they spent on the site had no impact on their work. The CEO of Facebook said, “There is also academic research that shows the benefits of services like Facebook. It’s in the hands of students to decide how to spend their time.”
【小题1】What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A.All the students who don’t use Facebook do well in exams.
B.Social networking sites have both advantages and disadvantages.
C.Facebook is the main site for British people to keep in touch.
D.Most of British students use social networking sites daily.
【小题2】Facebook users check their account frequently to ____________.
A.spend less time on studyB.make sure new messages aren’t missed
C.practise specific use of FacebookD.accumulate amount of time spent on Facebook.
【小题3】Why did Daisy Jones deactivate her account?
A.She was warned about the risk of using Facebook.
B.Spending much time on Facebook affected her study
C.She wanted to write a long article in the library.
D.There was something wrong with her eyes.
【小题4】What’s the best title of the passage ?
A.Facebook fans do worse in examsB.Social networking sites and their fans
C.Facebook helps organize social activitiesD.How to use social networking sites correctly.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  My father quit driving in 1927, when he was 25 years old.So my brother and I grew up in a household without a car.In 1951, when my brother turned 16, my parents bought a used 1950 Chevrolet from a friend.Since my parents didn't drive, it more or less became my brother's car.

  Having a car but not being able to drive didn't bother my father, but it didn't make sense to my mother.So in 1952, when she was 43 years old, she learned to drive.For the next 45 years or so, until she was 90, my mother was the driver in the family.

  After my father retired when he was 70, he almost always accompanied my mother whenever she drove anywhere, even if he had no reason to go along.One day my father said to me, "Do you want to know the secret of a long life? "

  "I guess so, " I said, knowing it probably would be something bizarre(稀奇古怪的).

  "No left turns." he said.

  "What? " I asked.

  "No left turns, " he repeated."Think about it.Three rights are the same as a left and that's a lot safer.Several years ago, your mother and I read an article that said most accidents that old people are in happen when they turn left in front of oncoming traffic.As you get older, your eyesight worsens.So your mother and I decided never again to make a left turn."

  "You're kidding! " I said, and I turned to my mother for support."No.” she said.“Your father is right.We make three rights.It works." But then she added:"Except when your father loses count.”

  "Loses count? " I asked.

  "Yes, " my father admitted, "that sometimes happens.But it's not a problem.You just make seven rights, and you're okay again."

  I couldn't resist."Do you ever go for 11? " I asked.

  "No, " he said "If we miss it at seven, we just come home and call it a bad day.

  Besides, nothing in life is so important it can't be put off another day or another week."

  My mother was never in an accident all through her life.

“All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me,” said Dave Gatty, an Australian farmer who spent seven days up a tree in remote bush land to escape crocodiles. Gatty, 52, said he was forced to take such drastic action after he accidentally went into a crocodile-infested area of Queensland. He only had two meat sandwiches to keep him going, as crocodiles moved beneath his tree each night until his rescue. Gatty said he decided it was safer to hold out for a rescue team than try to make a run for it. His problems began after he fell off his horse while out in the northern Australia outback. Dazed and bleeding, he climbed back on his horse and hoped it would lead him home. It was only when he regained his senses he realized that he had been taken into crocodile-infested area. “I had to get off the horse and I fell straight into a crocodile nest,” he told reporters. 
“That frightened me. I couldn’t go back, it was too far and too dangerous, so I headed to the nearest high ground and stayed there, hoping someone would come and find me before the crocs did.”
Gatty explained how each night two crocodiles would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him. Although Gatty’s two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
“If I hadn’t seen the crocs circling me, and if I hadn’t fallen into the croc nest, I would have made a push for it. But I knew the safest thing was for me to sit and wait,” he said. A chocolate bar, given to him by rescuers after being moved to safety by using a winch(卷扬机), “was like a gourmet (delicious)meal,” he said

  1. 1.

    Gaddy felt _______ when he found himself trapped in the crocodile- infested area

    1. A.
      panicked but optimistic
    2. B.
      nervous and hopeless
    3. C.
      upset and regretful
    4. D.
      frightened but calm
  2. 2.

    Which of the following did not help Gatty survive the accident?

    1. A.
      Sandwiches
    2. B.
      Running water
    3. C.
      Chocolates
    4. D.
      Staying up in a tree
  3. 3.

    What’s the right order of the events related to the accident?
    a. Gaddy climbed up onto his horse unconscious.
    b. Gaddy climbed up a tree and stayed there.
    c. Gaddy was moved by a winch to safety.
    d. Gaddy fell off his horse accidentally.

It would be interesting to discover how many young people go to university without any clear idea of what they are going to do afterwards. If one considers the enormous variety of courses offered, it is not hard to see how difficult it is to select the course most suited to his interests and abilities. If a student goes to acquire a broader perspective of life, to enlarge his ideas and to learn to think for himself, he will undoubtedly benefit, since school often has too restricting an atmosphere, with its timetables and disciplines, to allow him much time for independent assessment of the work he is asked to do. Most students would, I believe, profit by a year or so’s exploration of different academic studies, especially those “all-rounders” with no particular bent. They should have longer time to decide in what subject they want to take their degree, so that in later life they do not look back and say, “I should like to have been an archaeologist. If I hadn’t taken a degree in Modern Languages, I shouldn’t have ended up as an interpreter, but it’s too late now. I couldn’t go back and begin all over again, even if I had the chance.”

There is, of course, another side to the question of how to make the best use of one’s time at university. This is the case of the student who excels in a particular branch of learning, is a first-rate mathematician, scientist, linguist and what you have. He is immediately accepted by the university of his choice, and spends his three or four years becoming a specialist, emerging with a first-class Honors Degree and very little knowledge of what the rest of the world is all about. It therefore becomes more and more important that, if students are not to waste their opportunities and, incidentally, the taxpayers’ money, there will have to be much more detailed information about courses, more advice from Career Masters and Course Tutors if we are not to bring up, on one hand, a band of specialists ignorant of anything outside their own subject, and on the other hand, an ever-increasing number of graduates qualified in subjects for which there is little or no demand in the working world.

 

50. According to the passage, university students should avoid    .

   A. acquiring a broad perspective of life

   B. allowing themselves the independence of thinking

   C. becoming specialists ignorant of what the rest of the world is

   D. wasting their opportunities and the taxpayers’ money

51. Some students look back and say: “…but it’s too late now” because    .

   A. they have no time to make another choice

   B. they don’t have the chance to go back and restart

   C. they decide not to waste taxpayers’ money any more

   D. they could afford no more time to take their degree in another subject

52. At the end of the passage, the word “we” can best be replaced by    .

   A. people in the working world

   B. university graduates

   C. career Masters and Course Tutors

   D. university people
