Question

【題目】

Tuesday， Jan. 6， 9: 50 p.m. We are sitting in our warm living room； the TV is running； everything is peaceful. Our back yard is brightly lit（照亮的）， as if somebody turns on floodlights! Suddenly the light goes out. Then everything goes black. We find the flashlight and some candles and go to bed.

Wednesday， Jan. 7， 7: 30 a m. My first thought after waking up is that it is very cold in the bedroom. Clearly， the power has not come back on. After I look out of the window， I feel even more depressed because it is still raining heavily. The temperature in the house has gone down to 10 degrees. Although that isn’t too bad， we have no idea when the power will come back on. So Ron lights a fire in the fireplace.

Thursday， Jan 8， 12: 30 p. m. It has started to snow. The poor trees， which are already bent（彎曲的）under the ice， now have to carry the weight of snow. Ron comes back home， as there is no power in his office. What’s more， the storm is supposed to last until Saturday morning.

Friday， Jan 9， 6: 00 p. m. Still no power. Even though we have lit a series of candles， it is difficult to do anything in their weak light. I am sitting beside several candles， but I am having trouble reading.

Saturday， Jan. 10， 1: 00 p. m I take the car to go on a search for a store. The destruction along the roads is sad: everywhere， trees have been broken and the traffic light is out of order. I buy something like bread， some fruit， more drinking water and cat food.

Monday， Jan 12， 9: 46 p. m. Suddenly the alarm system（警報(bào)系統(tǒng)） goes off and the fridge and the answering machine come on. After so many days， the power has come back on!

【解析】

這是六篇日記形式的應(yīng)用文。日記主要記錄雨雪交加的惡劣天氣引起電力系統(tǒng)癱瘓，給人們的工作和生活帶來(lái)各種不便。

【1】句意：周二熄燈后，作者做了什么？

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第一篇日記最后一句說(shuō)：We find the flashlight and some candles and go to bed.我們找到了手電筒和一些蠟燭，然后去睡覺(jué)了。故選A。

【2】句意：在英語(yǔ)中，加下劃線的“more depressed”是什么意思？

詞句猜測(cè)題。Happier更快樂(lè)；Sadder更難過(guò)；More careful更認(rèn)真；More humorous更幽默。題干后半句說(shuō)：because it is still raining heavily.因?yàn)橛赀�下得很大。由此可知，這樣惡劣的天氣讓作者“更難過(guò)”。故選B。

【3】句意：羅恩做了什么來(lái)幫助這位作家？

推理判斷題。第二篇日記最后一句說(shuō)：So Ron lights a fire in the fireplace.所以羅恩在壁爐里生火。由此可判斷，羅恩盡力讓作者感到暖和。故選C。

【4】句意：為什么作家說(shuō)星期五很難做什么？

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。第四篇日記說(shuō)：... it is difficult to do anything in their weak light.即使我們點(diǎn)燃了一些蠟燭，但在它們微弱的光線下也很難做任何事。由此可知，因?yàn)橄灎T的光線不夠明亮，所以任何事都很難做。故選C。

【5】句意：作者為什么要寫(xiě)日記？

主旨大意題。日記主要記錄雨雪交加的惡劣天氣引起電力系統(tǒng)癱瘓，給人們的工作和生活帶來(lái)各種不便。由此可知，作者寫(xiě)日記的目的是介紹這次雨雪災(zāi)害。故選D。
