三、阅读理解
20. I’ve come back to check on a baby. Just after dusk I’m in a car down a muddy road in the rain, past rows of shackled (戴镣的) elephants, their trunks swinging. I was here five hours before, when the sun was high and hot and tourists were on elephants’ backs.
Walking now, I can hardly see the path with my phone’s flas hlight. When the wooden fence post stops me short, I point my light down and follow a current of rainwater across the floor until it washes up against three large, gray feet. A fourth foot twisted above the surface, tied tightly by a short chain and choked by ring of metal spikes (尖刺). When the elephant gets tired and puts her foot down, the spikes press deeper into her ankle.
Meena is four years and two months old, still a child as elephants go. Khammon Kongkhaw, her caretaker, told me earlier that Meena wears the spiked chain because she tends to kick. Kongkhaw has been responsible for Meena here at Maetaman Elephant Adventure, near Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, since she was 11 months old. He said he keeps her on the spiked chain only during the day a nd takes it off at night. But it’ s night now.
I ask Jin Laoshen, the Maetaman worker, why her chain is still on. He says he doesn’t know.
Maetaman is one of many animal attractions in and around tourist-crowded Chiang Mai. Meena’s life is set to follow th e same track as many of the roughly 3,800 captive (被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides—maybe at 55, maybe at 75, she’ll die. If she's lucky, she’ll get a few years of retirement. She'll spend most of her life on a chain.
4. Why does the author decide to come back?
A. To check the baby elephant Meena.
B. To feed those shackled elephants.
C. To release those shackled elephants.
D. To help an injured worker in Maetaman.
5. What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A. The author is scared walking in the path
B. Meena is treated badly and very painful
C. Meena only has three healthy legs.
D. One of Meena’s leg is badly broken.
6. What’s the author’s attitude towards those elephants?
A. Indifferent.
B. Critical.
C. Sympathetic.
D. Negative.
7. We can infer that the purpose of the author’s writing is______________.
A. to describe those elephants to attract tourists around the world
B. to draw people’s attention to caring about the fate of those elephants
C. to tell readers the story of a baby elephant in Chiang Mai, Thailand
D. to tell the reason why the number of elephants is decreasing
参考答案:
4. A
5. B
6. C
7. B
【分析】
本文是一篇记叙文,作者通过自己的所见所闻讲述了大象在泰国的悲惨境遇。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。
根据第一段中的“I’ve come back to check on a baby.”及第三段中的“Meena”可知,作者决定回来是为了去查看小象米纳,故A项正确。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。
根据第二段中的“A fourth foot twisted above the surface, tied tightly by a short chain and choked by ring of metal spikes (尖刺). When the elephant gets tired and puts her foot down, the spikes press deeper into her a nkle.”可知,可知,小象扭曲的脚上绑着铁链和尖刺,当它累了把脚放下时,这些尖刺就会更深地扎进脚踝里,通过这个描写可知小象米纳受到了虐待,非常痛苦,故B项正确。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。
根据最后一段中的“Meena’s life is set to follow the same track as many of the roughly 3,800 captive (被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides—maybe at 55, maybe at 75, she’ll die. If she's lucky, she’ll get a few years of retirement. She'll spend most of her life on a chain.”可知,小象米纳将和其他被捕获的大象一样生活是非常悲惨的:小的时候受尽虐待,被人骑,等老了或病了的时候就会会死掉,如果幸运的
话,可以退休几年,它们会在铁链上度过一生,由此可知作者对这些大象非常同情,故C 项正确。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。
通读全文可知,本文主要以小象米纳为例讲述了大象在泰国的悲惨生活,由此可知作者写这篇文章的目的是吸引人们关注那些大象的悲惨命运,故B项正确。
【点睛】本篇第4题C项的干扰性很大,有些同学会根据文章多处对小象米纳的细节描写认为作者写这篇文章的目的是讲述泰国清迈一只小象(米纳)的故事,但根据最后一段中的“Meena’s life is set to follow the same track as many of the roughly 3,800 captive (被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides—maybe at 55, maybe at 75, she’ll die. If she's lucky, she’ll get a few years of retirement. She'll spend most of her life on a chain.”可知,小象米纳的生活轨迹和其他被捕获的大象一样是非常悲惨的:小的时候受尽虐待,被人骑,等老了或病了的时候就会会死掉,它们会在铁链上度过一生,由此可知,作者是以小象米纳为例介绍了大象在泰国的悲惨生活,因此作者的写作目的是为了引起人们对那些大象的悲惨命运的关注,故B项正确。
21. I had five hours in the company of First Great Western(FGW) last weekend, on a train full of passengers, all the way from Cornwall to London. I got to know some of my fellow passengers rather well. Not through talking to them, you understand.
There was the youth who was explaining to his friend exactly how he enjoyed a party with his friends last night. Opposite him was a young woman who was very excited to be going to Lanzarote for her summer holiday. And then there was the man who I took to be a car mechanic(汽车修理工); so detailed and technical was his conversation about a second-hand Audi. Everyone had a different, noisy ringtone, and none of the mobile phone conversations I was forced to hear was interesting.
By the end of the journey, I was silently complaining about the modern world, and feeling mad with FGW who, at the very moment when our carriage fell silent, would make an announcement about the buffet car (a carriage where food and drinks are sold) either opening or closing.
FGW seems to be campaigning against peace and quietness, having removed quiet carriage spaces where passengers were requested not to use mobiles so that their trains could carry more passengers. How so? I cannot understand why FGW takes no notice of passengers like me, who have suffered a lot from hearing endless telephone conversations. I have no interest in the
smallest details of others’ lives. Making people listen to boring mobile phone conversations should be re garded as a rude act.”
Every train carriage should, in theory, be quiet. Why can’t that be the standard? It is possible to change public custom and practice. It was not so long ago that sidewalks were littered with dog waste:now it’s a general rule that do g owners clean it up after their pets. And once we restore peace and quietness to trains, we can then move on and stop people bringing fast food onto them, too.
32.How did the author get to know the three passengers?
A.From their phone conversations.
B.Through introductions.
C.In informal conversations.
D.By using a mobile phone.
33.At the end of the journey, the author ______.
A.became satisfied with FGW’s service
B.felt uneasy about the silence
C.was filled with anger
D.went to the buffet car
34.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A.He is in support of the decision of FGW.
B.He believes FGW will have more passengers.
C.He dislikes hearing others’ phone conversations.
D.He thinks it’s rude to listen to others’ conversations.
35.The author mentioned the rule of cleaning up dog mess to show ____.
A.dog mess has become a serious problem
B.quiet carriages can become the standard
C.noise in carriages is as troubling as dog mess
D.changing public custom and practice is difficult
参考答案:
A C C B
解析:
本文是议论文。
作者通过个人经历反对英国一家火车运输公司取消“安静列车”。
32.A细节理解题。
根据第二段的Everyone had a different, noisy ringtone, and none of the mobile phone conversations I was forced to hear was interesting可知,作者是通过这三位乘客的电话谈话了解他们的。
33.C细节理解题。
根据第三段的I was silently complaining about the modern world, and feeling mad with…可知,作者在旅程结束的时候非常生气。
34.C推理判断题。
根据第四段的suffered a lot from hearing endless telephone conversations. I have no interest in the smallest details of others’ lives可知,作者不喜欢听他人的电话谈话。
35.B推理判断题。
根据最后一段可知,不久之前,人行道上的宠物粪便一直是个问题,而现在宠物主人清理宠物粪便已经成为了普遍的规则。
再联系本段的Every train carriage should…be quiet可知,作者提到该问题是为了证明安静车厢也能够成为规范。
