安徽高考英語仔細閱讀專練題(一)

　　Late last night firemen hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors： “Please don’t smoke cigarettes in bed.” This was Beldon’s first hotel fire for five years.

　　The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one：

　　ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE

　　Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, “An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp.” We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield.

　　What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes, we know that firemen went to the hotel.

　　Now what do you think of the rest of the “news” ?

　　1. Which of the following best gives the main idea of this text?

　　A. Beldon and Canfield are both good places for tourists in summer.

　　B. A fire broke out night in Seabreeze Hotel last summer.

　　C. It was not easy to find out exact truth from newspapers.

　　D. Two newspapers gave reports on the same matter.

　　2. Which of the following are probably facts?

　　a. The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel.

　　b. A cigarette started the fire.

　　c. An old lamp started the fire.

　　d. The fire broke out at night.

　　e. There has never been a fire in Canfield.

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

　　3. The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think _______.

　　A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire

　　B. hotels in Beldon don’t often catch fire

　　C. this was the second fire at the Seabreeze Hotel

　　D. Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe

　　4. The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to the Beldon Post by saying that _______.

　　A. the bedroom lamps were very old at the Seabreeze Hotel

　　B. the bedroom lights made funny noise when the fire took place

　　C. the firemen failed to save clothing, bedclothes and other things

　　D. such accidents never happened in Canfield for the past 5 years

　　本文通過講述兩個對手城市的報紙對同一件火災事故的不同報道，對新聞報道的真實性提出了質疑。

　　1. C。主旨題。從主題句It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident.可得出答案。

　　2. B。細節題。根據There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August及兩張報紙都報道了火災是在晚上發生的，故可以確定的事實只有兩項a和 d。而其他選項都只是兩份報紙的片面之辭，到度是真是假，我們無法得知，因此答案為B。

　　3. A。推斷題。ANOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE中ANOTHER是個關鍵詞，它暗示了Beldon賓館頻繁發生的火災。

　　4. C。細節題。The Canfield Times 報道說Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture at the Seabreeze Hotel.，而The Beldon Post則說消防隊員及時把這場小火撲滅了，(沒有造成損失)，兩者報道相反。可此題答案為C。

　　Jack used to curse(咒罵) the front yard as if it were a living thing. He was the man who lived with my grandmother for thirty years. He was not my grandfather, but an Italian who came down the road one day, selling fruit in Florida.

　　Jack stopped at my grandmother’s house to sell her some oranges just a stone’s throw from downtown Miami, and he was delivering her whiskey a week later. He stayed for thirty years. Jack hated the front yard because he thought it was against him. There had been a beautiful lawn(草坪) there when Jack came along, but he let it wander off into nothing. He refused to water it or take care of it in any way.

　　Now the ground was so hard that it gave his car flat tires(輪胎) in the summer. The yard was always finding a nail to put in one of his tires or the car as always sinking out of sight in the winter when the rains came on. The lawn had belonged to my grandfather, who lived out the end of his life in an insane hospital. It had been his pride and joy and was said to be the place where his powers came.

　　1. It can be inferred that the real reason Jack had problems with the yard was that _______.

　　A. he didn’t like the lawn.

　　B. the author’s grandfather was against Jack working on the lawn

　　C. the lawn was full of living things

　　D. he himself did not take care of the lawn

　　2. We can learn from the passage that when the lawn belonged to the author’s grandfather, it had been _______.

　　A. beautiful B. worn out C. wasted D. full of nails

　　3. What do we know about Jack and the author’s grandfather?

　　A. They both hated the front lawn.

　　B. Jack was jealous of the author’s grandfather.

　　C. They sold fruit in Florida.

　　D. They came from Italy and lived together.

　　Jack為什么曾經指桑罵槐，因為他嫉妒我祖父。我祖父曾把前花園弄得很漂亮。

　　1. D。判斷題。從第2段最后一句話He refused to water it or take care of it in any way. 可以判斷。

　　2. A。語義理解題。根據There had been a beautiful lawn(草坪) there when Jack came along, but he let it wander off into nothing 可知答案。

　　3. B。判斷題。運用排除法：根據原文可知A、C、D三項明顯不對。再看第1段第1句話的意思：Jack 過去常常咒罵前花園，就好像那花園是一個有生命的東西一樣，可以看出Jack 不是在罵花園，而是指桑罵槐，所以選B。
