Last Friday a storm tore through two villages and destroyed fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged(損壞)that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, seven were badly injured and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless as a result of the storm.

  A farmer, Mr. C.Y. Tab said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.

  “I was in the kitchen with my wife and children,” he said, “when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”

  Mrs. Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children.  “There was no time to take anything,” she said. “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

  Soldiers helped to bring people out of the flooded area and the Welfare(福利)Department provided food, clothes and shelters.

1How many houses could no longer be lived in after the storm?

A. Fourteen      B. Seven     C. Twenty-one         D. Fifteen.

2When the storm first began,  Mr. Tan     .

A. was in bed

B. was inside his house

C. had just gone to work

D. had just gone outside

3Mrs. Fong and her family were not inured because      .

A. her husband had gone to work before the storm came

B. they were all outside the house when the storm began

C. she heard the loud noise the moment the house began to shake

D. she found the house shaking and rushed out with her children at once

4Which of the following is the nearest in meaning to “shelter” as it is used in the last line of the passage?

A. safety                      B. somewhere to stay

C. furniture and things or the house           D. warmth

5Which of these would be the best title for the passage?

A. A Terrible Storm

B. Mr. Tan’s Bravery

C. The Work of the Welfare Department

D. A Luck Escape

 

答案:C;B;B;D;A
解析:

1、此題考查推理判斷能力。由文章第一段可知,14所房子被嚴重破壞,另有7所受損程度是如何之大,以到于主人被迫離開。故共有21所房子在暴風(fēng)雨后不能居住。

2、此題考查細節(jié)推理能力,暴風(fēng)雨來臨時,譚先生正呆在廚房中,因此,他也就是正呆在家中。

3、此題考查細節(jié)事實。暴風(fēng)雨來臨是,馮太太注意到房子在顫抖,于是她就與家人及時沖出。

4、此題考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)此詞所處的位置及常識,在災(zāi)難發(fā)生后,社會福利機構(gòu)常給難民提供食物、避難所等其他生活需品,故此詞含義可能為“住的地方”。

5、通觀全文主要講的就是Terrible Storm

When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (絲帶)around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo suffered from polio(小兒麻痹癥)at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱)become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
【小題1】What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most nearly mean?
