What does the underlined word “screened” in para 1 probably mean? A. Separated B. Stopped C. Dragged D. Hidden 答案解析
16、：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.

Why did Eugie lie still? A. Arnold shot him in
18、tentionally. 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.

19、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 passage that . A. the relationship
20、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. Eugie was always taking care of Arnold. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为推理题。结合第四段 “Eugie lowered his eyelids, Youd drown before you got it, the legs of yours are
21、 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 you hit your duck, you want me to
22、 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。【2014山东省济南外国语学校质量检测】CResearchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.
