34、, from one stock of wheat to another. Eugie paused before climbing through the wire fence that divided the wheatfield from the marshy pasture(牧场) around the lake.

35、If you want.” Arnold said.Eugie lowered his eyelids, “Youd drown before you got it, the legs of yours are so weak.” He said contemptuously(轻蔑地)。He shoveled the tub under the fence and, pressing down the centre wire, climbed through into the pasture.Arnold pressed down the bottom wire, thrust a leg t
36、hrough and leaned forward to bring the other leg after. His rifle caught on the wire and he pulled at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish, he lifted his face, baring it to an expected shower of dersision(嘲弄)from his brother. But Eugie did not turn around.Instead, from hi
37、s crouching position, he fell into his knees and then pitched forward onto his face. The ducks rose up crying from the lake, cleared the mountain background and beat away northward across the pale sky.Amold squatted beside his brother. Eugie seemed to be climbing the earth, as if the earth ran up an
38、d down, and when he found he couldnt scale it he lay still.“Eugie?”Then Arnold saw it, under the rolling hair at the back of the neck - a solw rising of bright blood. It han an unpleasant movement, like that of a parasite(寄生虫)。“Hey, Eugie,” he said again. He was feeling the same discomfort he had fe

40、Stopped C. Dragged D. Hidden 答案解析：答案为D。本题为词义推断题。结合前四段可知，Eugie 和Arnold想去偷鸭子，可以推断，为了不被人发现，他们躲在隐蔽的地方，D选项“隐藏”最符合文意。 A选项意为 “分离”，B选项意为 “阻止”，C选项意为“拖、拉”，均不符合文意。2. From Para 2 to Para 4,we know that . A. Eugie always laughed at Arnold. B. Eugie would help Arnold hit the ducks. C. Arnold begged Eugie to go in
41、 after the ducks. D. Eugie was worried that Arnold might drown答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。从Eugie的动作和语言 “Eugie lowered his eyelids, Youd drown before you got it, the legs of yours are so weak.He said contemptuously.” 可知，Eugie认为Arnold无法偷到鸭子，他可能会淹死，因为他的腿有问题。Eugie的语气轻蔑高傲，故可推断，Eugie总是嘲笑Arnold。故答案为A。3. Why did Eugie
42、 lie still? A. Arnold shot him intentionally. B. Arnold killed him accidengtally. C. He pretended to be unconscious. D. He was ready to shoot some ducks. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。结合第六段 “.His rifle caught on the wire and he pulled at it. The air was rocked by the sound of the shot. Feeling foolish, he lift
43、ed his face.” 可知，Arnold的枪缠到了电线上，在他准备去拉枪的时候，空气被枪击的声音震动了，他觉得他真是笨； 又及第七段 “.Eugie seemed to be climbing the earth, as if the earth ran up and down, and when he found he couldnt scale it he lay still.”可推知，Eugie的动作是中弹后的动作，他感到大地在摇晃，原来是Arnold 无意中开枪击中了Eugie，他已经死去，静静地躺着。故答案为B。4. It can be inferred from the pa
44、ssage that . A. the relationship between Arnold and Eugie was not so good. B. Arnold followed Eugie approaching the lake to steal ducks. C. they were crouching forward to steal the wheat. D.

45、you got it, the legs of yours are so weak. He said contemptuously” 和后文的第六段 “Feeling foolish, he lifted his face, baring it to an expected shower of dersision from his brother.” 可知，Eugie 总是嘲笑 Arnold. 他们的关系应该不好。故A选项正确。由第一段第一句话 “Arnold followed Eugie down the slope.”可知，B选项是文章提到的细节，无需推理。由第二段Eugie说. “If
46、you hit your duck, you want me to go in after it ?” 可推断，他们去偷鸭子，不是麦子。由前面的分析知，Eugie 总是嘲笑 Arnold，不会照顾Arnold。综合上述分析，B、C、D均不选。故事型阅读理解-(一)I still remembermy hands and my fingers still rememberwhat used to lie in store for us on our return to school from the holidays. The trees in the school yard would be
47、in full leaf again and the old leaves would be lying around like a muddy sea of leaves.“Get that all swept up！” the headmaster would tell us. “I want the whole place cleaned up, at once！” There was enough work there, to last over a week. Especially since the only tools with which we were provided we
48、re our hands, our fingers, and our nails. “Now see that its done properly, and be quick about it，” the headmaster would say to the older pupils, “or youll have to answer for it！”So at an order from the older boys we would all line up like peanuts about to cut and gather in crops. If the work was not
49、 going as quickly as the headmaster expected, the big boys, instead of giving us a helping hand, used to find it simpler to beat us with branches pulled from the trees. In order to avoid these blows, we used to bribe(贿赂) the older boys with the juicy cakes we used to bring for our midday meals. And
50、if we happened to have any money on us, the coins changed hands at once. If we did not do this, if we were afraid of going home with an empty stomach or an empty purse, the blows were redoubled. They hit us so violently and with such evil enjoyment that even a deaf and dumb person would have realize
51、d that we were being whipped not so much to make us work harder, but rather to beat us into a state of obedience(服从) in which we would be only too glad to give up our food and money.Occasionally one of us, worn out by such calculated cruelty, would have the courage to complain to the headmaster. He
52、would of course be very angry, but the punishment he gave the older boys was always very smallnothing compared to what they had done to us. And the fact is that however much we complained, our situation did not improve in the slightest. Perhaps we should have let our parents know what was going on,
53、but somehow we never dreamed of doing so; I dont know whether it was loyalty or pride that kept us silent, but I can see now that we were foolish to keep quiet about it, for such beatings were completely foreign to our nature.1The statement “my hands and my fingers still remember” (Para.1) means tha
54、t_Athe authors hands were severely injured in the cleaning upBthe author seldom did such hard work as the cleaning upCthe author was bullied by the big boys in the cleaning upDthe authors hands were his only tool for the cleaning up2The headmaster would tell the students to clean up the school yard
55、at the beginning of the term because_Ahe was too lazy Bthere were many fallen leaves on the groundCthe school yard was covered with mudDthe students didnt finish their homework3The headmaster asked the older boys to_Abeat those who worked slowlyBtreat the small boys as peanutsCtake charge of the pro

58、作为唯一的清洁工具受了不少的罪。2B细节理解题。第一段最后一句提到假期过后学校会堆满落叶，第二段校长发布学生大扫除的命令，两者之间的因果关系显而易见，因此本题应选B项。3C细节理解题。第二段最后一句，特别是其中的see，表明校长让大孩子们做大扫除的“监工”，负责带领其他孩子把学校打扫干净。这也可以从该段最后一句的“or youll have to answer for it(否则你们就要为此负责)”看出答案。4A推理判断题。根据第三段第四句中的“the coins changed hands at once.”可知“钱马上就会易主”，即到了大孩子们的口袋里。5A细节理解题。根据题干中的complaints可定位到最后一段开头两句。该段第二句表明校长对大孩子的惩罚很轻微，因此本题应选A项。
