阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two ＂Irelands＂. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were ＂the greatest talkers since the Greeks＂. Since independence,

2. We learn from the text that in Ireland __________.
A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population
B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
3. The last paragraph is mainly about __________.

4 Leading psychologist Martin Seligman found that the way we interpret the causes of everyday setbacks can have a significant impact on our ability to cope and our physical health. He also showed we can learn more resilient(有弹性的) thinking styles.

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了一个失足掉进瀑布水流中的小女孩被小男孩Sammy勇敢地救出的故事。

1.C 由上文的＂It was a hot June day＂以及下文的＂Sammy jumped in. Having played in the water for
a while＂可知，天气炎热，Sammy迫不及待地想到水里去。

can’t/couldn’t wait to do sth.是固
定用法，表示＂迫不及待做某事＂。

2.A 根据常识可知，孩子在玩水时，家长应是密切注视着孩子的，故此处选eye。

keep an eye＂密切注视＂。

3.C 根据上文的＂Sammy jumped in. Having played in the water for a while＂可知，此处表示Sammy
跳进水中，玩了一会儿后，他终于(eventually)从水里出来了。

unwillingly＂不情愿地＂；
immediately＂立刻＂；professionally＂专业地＂。

4.A 一个五岁的小女孩俯身去捡一个瓶子，然后失去了平衡。

reach down＂俯身＂。

come up ＂走近，走
过来＂；turn down ＂调小＂；go around ＂到处走动＂。

5.D 一瞬间，她就被卷入瀑布中了。

这里应用sweep表示＂卷走＂。

6.B 根据语境，Sammy看到的是小女孩落水之后扬起的手臂和她的头顶(top)。

7.A 根据上文的＂the water pushed her into the water＂和下文的＂She fought for life in the deep
water＂可知，此处表示小女孩被推到了水下(beneath)，即她在向下沉。

8.D 此处表示Sammy在下水救人之前先用几秒钟的时间考虑了一下眼前的局面(situation)。

9.C 根据上文的＂She fought for life in the deep water＂可知，此处表示Sammy几秒钟后靠近了在水
中挣扎(struggling)的小女孩。

challenging＂有挑战性的＂；wandering＂流浪的，漂泊的＂；
thrilling＂激动人心的＂。

10.B 根据常识、小女孩在水中的表现及下文中的＂the anxious girl＂可知，此处应用panicked ＂恐慌
的＂描述小女孩在水中的状态。

blue＂沮丧的，忧郁的＂。

11.A 根据语境可知此处表示Sammy虽然保持着冷静，但他的心脏在剧烈地跳着。

wildly＂失控地，紊乱地＂。

此题易错选B项。

根据语境可知，Sammy虽然表面上保持着冷静，但他内心其实是很紧张的，所以他的心脏才会剧烈地跳动着(心跳是有规律的，只是速度比较快)。

而irregularly表示＂无规律地，间隔不均匀地＂，虽然也能与beat连用，但表示的却是心跳不规则，忽快忽慢，显然与此处的语境不符。

故B项错误。

12.D 此处用an arm’s length away from表示＂离……有一只胳膊的长度＂。

length＂长度＂。

13.B 结合语境和生活常识判断，他把那个焦虑的小女孩拉(pulled)到自己的背上。

force＂强迫＂，push＂
推＂，remove＂移开，去掉＂，均不符合语境。

14.B 此处表示Sammy沿着瀑布边的岩壁向岸边移动，因此选B表示＂跟随，沿着＂。

15.D 根据该句的＂someone pulled of them from the water with a swimming float＂以及下文的＂They
were safe then＂可知，此处表示有人将Sammy和那个小女孩都拉到浮板上，故选both，表示＂两者都＂。

16.D 此处表示当Sammy的妈妈来到事发现场(scene)时，她看到一群人聚集在可供游泳的水潭旁边。

17.C Sammy的妈妈来到现场，看到那么多人围在那里，以为自己的儿子出事了，她一下子陷入了沉默
(silence)。

本题易错选A项pride，考生误认为Sammy的妈妈为儿子见义勇为的行为感到骄傲。

而事实上，根据上文的＂When his mother ...saw the crowd gathering near the swimming hole＂可知，此时Sammy的妈妈只看到了很多人围在那里，还不知道发生了什么事，而下文的＂Then a woman came up and told her that Sammy had saved a little girl’s life＂表明Sammy的妈妈是之后才知道Sammy见义勇为的事的，故可排除pride。

18.B 根据下文的＂But I know he can because of who he is＂的转折关系可知，此处指Sammy说再来
一次的话他就做不到了。

故选again。

19.A Sammy承认说：＂我进到水里时，真的没有考虑过后果。

＂根据句意可知，这里用admit表示＂承认＂。

20.B 参见上题解析。

consequence＂后果＂，符合语境。

effect＂影响＂；fame＂名声＂；condition＂条件＂。

III.语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

11
London is such a wonderful city 10 traveling there will be an exciting experience.
【文章大意】本文介绍了英国首都伦敦的地理位置、历史、文化等信息。

1. off
6.it
【解析】句意：伦敦有43所大学，这使得它成为欧洲高等教育最大的中心。

使用代词it代替London。

故填it。

7. to host
【解析】当名词被the first等序数词修饰时，后面用不定式作定语，而且city和host是主动关系，故填to host。

8. cultural
