(2013•江西) The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.
“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place！”
“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began this tale.
Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.
Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll bee wealthier. He's just jealous!
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened？” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back — just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
1. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. courage B. assistance
C. instruction D. challenge
2. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A. To frighten them.
B. To satisfy their curiosity.
C. To warn them of the danger of the place.
D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
3. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A. The old man envied him.
B. The old man was foolish.
C. He was too busy to listen to others.
D. He was greedy for more crops.
4. Why did Tom scream and faint?
A. He saw Dennis's shadow.
B. He was scared by a plant.
C. His friends played a joke on him.
D. The weather became extremely cold.
5. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A. Grasp all, lose all.
B. No sweat, no sweet.
C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.
D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
Ⅳ.阅读简答
(2014•雅礼高三月考一) David Jones is probably not somebody you want to hang out with. Not because he isn't a cool person, but because he is living with 40 deadly snakes.
Jones is living in a room for 121 days with more than three dozen constrictors, green mambas, boomslangs and other deadly snakes in an attempt to set a Guinness world record. The record for most days spent confined to a room with this particular number of snakes is 113, set by Martin Smith in 2008.
“I am hoping people will realize that we can live with these fantastic creatures without fearing and killing them. People e and see me here and are constantly amazed at how I am interact with these animals. The snakes are not restrained in any way and make the full use of the entire room including my bed, shower and toilet，” Jones explains. They mainly hide out in cupboards or on the various makeshift (临时的)branches or bushes that Jones has in their shared quarters. Once a week, someone brings captured mice and rats to offer as a sacrifice to the snakes.
David Jones is forced to move the snakes with a “hook stick” throughout the day, so that he can do things like sitting at his desk or typing on his laptop, his only means of contacting the outside world.
The snakes often drop on his pillow or shoulders as he's trying to work or sleep, but there have so far been no instances of Jones being bitten by one of these deadly snakes. He said, “if I give them respect, we can live together happily.”
Jones is doing this for charity. All the money raised will go to a hospice(收容所) in his hometown of Crawley, near London.
1. What are constrictors, mambas and boomslangs? (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________
2. How is David Jones staying in touch with other people? (No more than 5 words)
________________________________________________________________________
3. Why don't the snakes bite Jones? (No more than 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
4. What are the purposes of David Jones's doing so? (No more than 15 words)
________________________________________________________________________
Unit 3
Ⅰ.1. A 考查固定搭配。从句末的as well 可知，我们已经习惯了这里的天气也习惯于冬天洗冷水澡。be accustomed to (doing) sth.习惯于某事或做某事。
2. B 考查动词搭配。注意permit 的搭配： permit doing, permit *** . to do。permit 用于被动语态时，要用be permitted to do…
3. D 考查短语动词的辨析。 句意：我不想占据你太多的时间，但是我确实有重要的事情。 keep up 坚持，维持； pick up 捡起，拾起； make up 编造； take up 占据(时间或空间)。
4. B 考查动词时态。由于上个星期二说的，所以用一般过去时。
5. D 考查倒装句。在“主语＋谓语＋地点状语”的句型中，如果强调地点状语，就把地点状语放于句首，后常用完全倒装的句型，即：地点状语＋谓语＋主语。
6. A 考查状语从句。experience是及物动词，that作其宾语，其后是一个状语从句。此句的意思是：我想趁孩子们小的时候体验漂流。
7. C 考查名词性从句。what 在此引导的是表语从句。
8. C 考查非谓语动词。children与attend 之间构成主动关系，所以要用现在分词作with复合结构的宾补。
9. A adjust to 适应。
10. B 考查时态。该句用过去进行时符合语境。句意：你给我打电话时，我正在开会。
11. A 考查非谓语动词的用法。 句中的view与主语he是意义上的主动关系，且view在句中充当状语的成分，所以选A。
12. C 考查时态和语态。根据后面的时间状语应在过去时里选择，且主语cars与sell之间是构成被动关系，所以选C。
13. B reception 接待。
14. A in celebration of… 庆祝……
15. B make a difference 产生不同，有区别。
Ⅱ.A 1. A 作者在文章的开头的第一句话告诉我们：“迈克•格林伯格是一个非常受欢迎的纽约人。”四个选项中，能与popular 对应的近义词应为 A. know about (了解，知道关于……的情况)。B.向……学习；C.为……欢呼，加油；D.寻找。
2. B 设空所在句的意思是：对于那些人来说，他是“手套” 格林伯格。他的这个名字是如何得来的呢？故B项name符合上下文语境。
3. B 设空处上下文句意为：“他看上去就像任何其他的商人，穿西装，带着一个公文包。但他也有不同之处。他的公文包里总放有一些手套。”设空处前面的but 非常重要，它表示转折，different表并不一样。
4. B 根据下文作者提到主人公要寻找没有手套的穷人赠送手套，所以他在街上环顾四周要看的是“行人”，B项people 与上下文相符，本段最后一句提到looking for more people with cold ______.也为此作了注解。
5. D 句意为：当他看到没戴手套的人时会停下来。作者上文特别提到“look around”， 而与之相对应的结果应该是“看到”， 所以D为正确答案。
6. A 手套是为冬季感到手冷的人保暖所用，故A项hand与上下文语义相符。
7. C 根据全文可知主人公在冬季纽约街头做的是赠人手套的义举，故C项give away (赠送) 最能表达上述含义。
8. B 设空所在句的句意是：听说他这一义举的人们给他寄去手套，这样他在他的公寓里积攒了许多副(手套)，B项send(寄送)符合题意。
9. C 设空所在句的句意为： 格林伯格先生做这一义举开始于21年前。C项begin(开始)，符合题意。
10. A 句意为： 现在，许多贫穷的纽约人知道了他，也理解了他的行为。根据作者But后的描述“也有一些人对他的行为产生误解”来看，只有A才是最佳选项。
11. B 设空所在句的句意为：这种义举一直在他们家族内传承。根据下文所述， 主人公的父亲也一向热衷于帮助穷人，可以看出主人公的这一做法是有家庭影响的。
12. A 句意：一副手套可能是微不足道的小事，但它在冬季能产生很大的意义。but前后的句子具有明显的转折含义，所以选A，此句也是整篇文章的寓意所在。
B 1. it 2. who 3. on 4. you 5. to 6. an 7. because/since/as 8. would
Ⅲ.1. D 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段可知这个地方很诡异，Martin和Tom 感到害怕，都希望没有接受Jack的大胆挑战。 A．勇气；B.帮助；C.指导；D.挑战。
2. B 细节理解题。 根据文章第三段和第四段中的“Are you sure you want to hear it？” 和 “Of course！” 可得出答案。
3. D 细节理解题。 根据文章倒数第五段中的“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll bee wealthier.”可知他想种更多的农作物。
4. B 推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段的“Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知，Tom是因被常春藤的叶子盖到脸部而吓到了。
5. A 主旨大意题。 文章讲到了Dennis太贪婪，不断地开垦土地想把所有土地都种植农作物以获取更多金钱而受到大自然的报复，所以选A(贪多必失)。B.没有汗水，没有收获；C.覆水难收；D.不犯错误的人是不会有收获的。
