【題目】閱讀理解
China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
(1)According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A.Because they are traditional and safe.
B.Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C.Because they are colorful and available.
D.Because they are fast and environment friendly.
(2)The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.
A.to ride it for fun
B.to use it for transport
C.to experience local culture
D.to improve his riding skills
(3)How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A.It was boring.
B.It was difficult.
C.It was lively.
D.It was wonderful.
(4)Which of the following best describes the author's biking experience
A.The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C.The author was praised by the other bikers.
D.The author took great pleasure in biking.

【解析】本文是一篇記敘文,中國(guó)在過(guò)去是自行車的王國(guó),而現(xiàn)在仍然有很多人喜歡騎自行車出行,因?yàn)檫@種交通方式方便、省錢。為了融入這種文化,“我”也買了一輛自行車。但是在回家途中,發(fā)現(xiàn)騎車過(guò)街是最大的問(wèn)題,需要時(shí)間、技巧和一點(diǎn)兒運(yùn)氣。但是騎行經(jīng)歷讓“我”覺(jué)得很愉快、很有趣。(1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“For many,it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.”可知,自行車如今仍然很受歡迎,是因?yàn)樗谋憬莺徒?jīng)濟(jì)。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“ I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully. ”和倒數(shù)第三段中的“ so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.”可知,騎自行車并不安全,速度也不是很快,故A項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章雖然提到了自行車的顏色多種多樣,但這并不是它受歡迎的原因,故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤,故選B。
(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture...”可知,作者購(gòu)買自行車是因?yàn)槠惹械叵肴谌胫袊?guó)的這種文化之中,故C項(xiàng)正確。作者在有了騎行經(jīng)歷之后才發(fā)現(xiàn)了其中的樂(lè)趣,故A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;文章并未提到作者購(gòu)買自行車是為了作為交通工具或者提高騎行技術(shù),故排除B項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng),故選C。
(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck”可知,騎車過(guò)街是最大的問(wèn)題,需要時(shí)間、技巧和運(yùn)氣,因此作者認(rèn)為騎車過(guò)街非常困難。其余選項(xiàng)均與本段內(nèi)容不符,故選B。
(4)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air was hitting my face and going through my hair. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. ”可知,空氣吹拂臉頰和頭發(fā)的感覺(jué)很美妙,騎行時(shí)就像坐在了世界的頂端,騎自行車使作者覺(jué)得充滿了活力。由此可判斷出,作者覺(jué)得騎自行車很有樂(lè)趣,故D項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)意為“作者喜歡炫耀自己的騎行技術(shù)”;B項(xiàng)意為“作者很討厭騎行時(shí)的空氣”;C項(xiàng)意為“作者被其他騎行人員贊揚(yáng)了”,均與文章內(nèi)容不符,故選D。

【題目】閱讀下面短文,從每篇短文后所給各題的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
Outside her cottage, old Mrs. Taylor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch.(女巫)
They watched nervously as she took a broomstick(長(zhǎng)柄掃帚)to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn't get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly —signaling that she had laid an egg in the nest on the top of the haystack.(干草堆).
The old lady put aside her broomstick and walked to the haystack, followed by Michael, a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Crawling further along the branches, they could clearly see the haystack.
Mrs. Taylor was standing on a wooden box with the new-laid egg in one hand. Placing the egg in her pocket, she readied herself to climb down. Then, without warning, the box broke under her and she crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.
“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.
“What if it's a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we're here. Witches know things like that!”
After thinking for a while, Julia said “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”
Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady's forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.
“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”
The boys didn't need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help, hoping that Mrs. Taylor would not regain consciousness and turn the girls into frogs.
Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when 1 fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.”
The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!
(1)Mrs. Taylor stopped sweeping when _______.
A.her doorstep became very clean
B.she heard the hen making sounds loudly
C.she noticed the children in the tree
D.her cat Michael managed to get her attention
(2)Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Taylor when she fell?
A.He thought that she could be cheating them.
B.He was afraid of the three-legged black cat.
C.He did not think that she was hurt in the fall.
D.He knew he and the others shouldn't have been in her tree.
(3)Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?
A.Slowly.
B.Hurriedly.
C.Carefully.
D.Quietly.
(4)Which of these old sayings best summaries the lesson from story?
A.Make hey while the sun shines.
B.Never judge a book by its cover.
C.A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
D.People in glasshouses shouldn’t throw stones.
