【解析】文章通過一個小故事告訴我們對待這個社會要熱情積極,不要冷漠刻薄的看待事物,那樣會讓自己失敗。

2.形容詞辨析。A開心;B失望;C筋疲力盡;D激勵的。解析同上。

3.動詞辨析。A看;B轉向;C來;D整理。根據(jù)句意可知他們是在整理自己的新家。

5.常識和上下文串聯(lián)。電燈熄滅了,應該是找蠟燭來照明。

6.副詞辨析。A開心地;B耐心地;C有希望地;D絕望地。根據(jù)上下文可知電燈熄滅了,家里又沒有蠟燭,他們只能絕望地等待電的重新到來。

8.形容詞辨析。解析同上。

9.上下文串聯(lián)。他們一家是第一天來到這里,自然是newcomer.

10.上下文串聯(lián)。由上文可知他是因為生意失敗,心情非常不好所以才來到一個新地方的,不希望被別人打擾。所以他很不耐煩地打開了門。

11.副詞辨析。解析同上。

BUKHANNON, West Virginia—Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.

   Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates(最新報道)on the rescuers’ progress.

  The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families weren’t informed of the accident until about 10 a.m-more than three hours after it happened. “It’s very upsetting, but you’ve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.

   The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine’s entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group.

   At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.

   He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for

30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.

   The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “ We don’t want to be energizing anything if it’s in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said.

   The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were discovered shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided(減退), authorities said.

According to the passage, we can infer that ________.

A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive

B. communication with the trapped miners was cut off

C. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time

D. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened

If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about _______ per hour.

       A. 1,000 feet          B. 2,400 feet         C. 1,200feet             D. 4,800feet

Where can the passage be seen?

 A. In a magazine.        B. In a newspaper.     C. In a science book..      D. On an advertisement.

Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped?
