Question

【題目】 One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned (廢棄的) round grain barn. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.

Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (通風管道) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.

I stepped onto the platform, gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed there were some holes formed a ladder (階梯). For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing up.

After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up and found nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I tried my best to climb all the way up but it was very difficult. There was too much heavy dust. When dust was blown, I even couldn’t breathe. I didn’t know how long it took but luckily I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.

I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

【3】A

【4】C

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，描寫了小男孩來到一個廢棄谷倉，在好奇心的驅使下，探索谷倉的每個角落。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“…I explored the town’s abandoned (廢棄的) round grain barn.”可知作者去探索的是一個廢棄的圓形的谷倉，廢棄肯定是比較破舊，A選項是一所破舊的房子；B選項是鐵路；C選項是山谷平原；D選項是一所漂亮的房子，因此A選項的房子最符合文章描述的場景。故選A。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (通風管道) that rose all the way to the top of the barn.”可知作者進到谷倉里，聞到了死老鼠的味道，然后眼睛適應以后，看到了一個通往谷倉頂部的通風管道。故選D。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。文章是以時間順序書寫的，在第二段開頭“Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark.”可知作者進去了谷倉，即b項；根據(jù)第三段第三句“I stepped onto the platform, gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway.”可知作者在升降梯中，然后中途停了，即a項；根據(jù)第三段最后一句和第四段第一句“So, with shaking hands, I began climbing up. After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft.”可知作者看到一個梯子，然后爬到了通風管道的頂部，即c項；根據(jù)最后一段“So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door.”可知作者最后從上鎖鏈的門溜走，即d項，所以正確順序是b-a-c-d。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。passions有激情的；dreams愛做夢的；curiosity好奇的；imagination有想象力的。根據(jù)文章內容，小男孩來到一個廢棄的谷倉，然后在谷倉中到處探索，以及一些關鍵詞：explored；After a brief panic attack；excited，可以看出是由于男孩的好奇心，驅使他探索谷倉的各個角落。故選C。
