28、。此处语境为“我们吃饭时会谈论当天的新闻。无论它有多么微不足道,它都不会被等闲视之”。由此可以看出,it指的是新闻。3.D推断题。根据倒数第2段的描述可以看出,作者十分欣赏父亲的教育方式。4.B推断题。通读全文可知,作者的父亲用自己的教育方式坚持着对子女的教育,B项与此相符。二完型填空【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了在1925年美国阿拉斯加的诺姆镇爆发了白喉传染病。由于大雪,诺姆镇与外界隔绝。为了拯救感染病毒的孩子们,诺姆镇政府,通过狗拉雪橇的方式运送药品,最终拯救了孩子们的生命。【答案与解析】1.A根据后面的and knew he had diphtheria,a deadly infectiou
29、s disease可知,Dr Welch对Billy进行了检查。2.B根据上下文语境可知,小镇由于大雪与外界隔绝,运送药物困难且出现了致命的传染性疾病,因此,如果孩子们感染白喉,将是无助的。3.D根据上下文语境可知,前后两句之间是转折关系。4.C根据下文中的it couldnt come by ship可以推出应该是那个镇的码头已经全结了冰。5.B根据第1段最后一句可知,此时路已经被冰雪覆盖,汽车和马无法前进。6.C到了1月26日,Billy和其他三个孩子已经死了。“by+时间”表示“到为止”,且与完成时连用。7.D还有二十多个孩子生病了。8.A诺姆镇的官员提出了一个(送药
30、的)计划。9.B根据下文“The first musher,Shannon,picked up the medicine from the train.”可知,药品应该是先通过火车从Anchorage运送到Nenana的。10.A从那里狗拉雪橇的驾驶员叫作赶狗拉雪橇的人将用接力的方式把它带到Nome。11.C当Shannon把药品递给下一个赶狗拉雪橇的人的时候,他的脸因为极度寒冷已经变青了。12.DSeppala(送药时)必须穿过一个叫作Norton Sound的极其寒冷的水域。下文中的“But Seppala made it across.”也是提示。13.C根据下文的“Norton Sou
31、nd was covered with ice,which could sometimes break up without warning.”可知,这是旅途中最危险的部分。14.D如果那(冰破裂)发生的话,Seppala可能会掉进下面冰冷的水里。他可能会死,同时,Nome那些生病的孩子也会死。15.C在某一地方巨大的雪堆挡住了他的路。block ones way意为“挡住了某人的路”。16.A根据上下文语境可知,为了绕过大雪堆,Kaasen离开了雪橇的痕迹,情况是那么的坏以至于他找不到雪橇的痕迹。17.BBalto把它的鼻子放在地上,尽力找其他曾经从雪撬痕迹上经过的狗的味
32、道。try to do sth意为“尽力做某事”。18.A根据下文中的“He had found the trail.”可知,Balto找到了雪橇的痕迹,由此可推知它又开始跑了。19.D根据下文的“Within minutes,Dr Welch had the medicine.”可知医生拿到了药品。由此可知,Kaasen和他的狗顺利到达了Nome。20.B根据上文以及“All of them recovered.”可知,诺姆镇获救了。三语法填空【语篇解读】本文讲述了主人公约翰逊先生的生活经历。虽然他意外地失去了以往赖以谋生的奶牛, 却在之后的生活中收获了更多,可谓“塞翁失马,焉知非福”。【答
33、案与解析】1.a本空后为单数名词farm, 且第一次提到, 故填a。2.Luckily本空修饰整个句子, 应用副词。3.forexchange.for.意为“用交换”。4.was left谓语动词和主语之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,又因为动作发生在过去,所以用一般过去时。5.whenbe doing.when.为固定结构,表示“正在做突然”。6.fell根据语境可知应用一般过去时。7.without根据上文可知约翰逊先生失去了他的奶牛,且此空后为the cow,故用介词without。8.to sell根据语境可知此处用动词不定式,在句中作目的状语。9.where此处用where引导定语从句,
