As a young woman, my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely, although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam, and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe, my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed, experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make yourich.

【1】Who owns the recipe of making the best strawberry jam?

A. The writer’s mother.   B. The writer.

C. Aunt Fanny.   D. Fanny’s mother.

【2】Why do people in the town think aunt Fanny is poor?

A. Because she needed to work hard in her workshop.

B. Because she paid attention to nothing except money.

C. Because she had no close friends to shared her success.

D. Because she always thought of helping others rather than herself.

【3】—What does the last word “rich” mean in this passage?

—It means ________.

A. the success of making strawberry jam

B. having the recipe and much money

C. the happiness, one’s family and friends

D. owning a big house and the large farm

Sixty years ago, human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West. But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.

Every year, more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish, including oxygen bottles, broken tents, and plastic bags, according to Ang Tshering Sherpa, chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川),” Sherpa said.

More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem, Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.

On the Chinese side of the mountain, Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.

Hopefully, human beings will finally solve the problem, just as they found the way up the mountain successfully.

【1】Which of the following was not used to call the world’s highest mountain long ago?

A. Mount Everest.

B. Mount Qomolangma.

C. The Third Pole of the Earth.

D. The world’s highest junkyard.

【2】Why is the world’s highest mountain turning into the “world’s highest junkyard?

A. Tibet has not collected enough money to clear up the mountain.

B. Climbers have left too much human waste and all kinds of rubbish.

C. People in the area have no idea of how to recycle their daily rubbish.

D. 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma every year.

【3】What have been done to protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma?

A. Each climber has been asked to pay for the cleaning fee of $100-200.

B. Nepal has asked each climber to bring down all the rubbish they carried there.

C. A special team of explorers and volunteers have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish.

D. “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” has started in China and Nepal.

【4】Which is the correct order of the following events?

a. “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” started.

b. Human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma sixty years ago.

c. Nepal started a cleaning program and asked each climber to bring down rubbish.

d. The waste left by climbers has become a health danger to people in the area.

A. c -d- b -a   B. b-a-d-c   C. a-b-c-d   D. b-d-a-c

试题分析:本文是一篇人物传记。介绍了哥伦布不平凡的一生。在他的一生中,他做了四次穿越海洋的旅行。第一次是从西班牙出发,去印度寻找宝藏。他们发现了新的陆地,一个岛屿,被他命名为圣萨尔瓦多岛。但哥伦布并没有因为发现新大陆而变得富有。人们之所以记住他,不仅因为他发现了一个新的大陆,而且为其他探险家指引了方向。

【1】句意:哥伦布来自一个工人家庭。他的出生地是意大利的热那亚。根据短文中的句子“ChristopherColumbuswasborninGenoa,Italy.”可知,哥伦布出生于意大利的热那亚。故答案为birth。

【2】句意:当他还是个小男孩的时候,他很喜欢去海边。根据短文中的句子“Heenjoyedgoingtotheseawhenhewasayoungboy.”可知,当他还是个小男孩的时候,他喜欢去海边。故答案为sea。

【3】句意:他的四段航海经历。根据短文中的句子“Inhislife,hemadefourtripsacrosstheocean.”可知,在他的一生中,他做了四次穿越海洋的旅行。答案为experiences。

【5】句意:他们的第一次航行时,他们发现了陆地,一个岛屿,被他命名为圣萨尔瓦多岛。根据短文中的句子“Aftermanydays,thesailorshadcoveredalongdistanceontheseaandwerereadytoturnaroundforhomewhentheysawland,anisland__Columbus__named__San__Salvador.”故答案为named/called,用过去分词作后置定语。

【6】句意:世界比他想象的要大得多,他错误地认为古巴就是日本。根据短文中的句子“WhentheygottoCuba,hethoughthewasinJapan.Theworldwasa__lot__largerthanhethought.”在比较级之前可以用much,,alot等词来修饰,故答案为much。

【7】句意:在他的晚年,他又三次越过海洋。文章提到四次航海经历,去印度是第一次,此处介绍另外三次,故答案为another。

【8】句意:他没有变得富有,由于他发现了新大陆,只是得到了国王和王后给他的退休金。根据短文中的句子“Columbusdidnotbecomerichashehadhoped.Attheendofhislifeheonlyhadapension(退休金)thekingandthequeenhadgivenhimbecausehewasthefirsttoreachtheNewWorld.”可知,哥伦布并没有因为发现新大陆而变得富有。故答案为Instead。

【9】句意:他在旅行中学会了西班牙语和拉丁语。根据短文中的句子“buthelearnedtoreadandwriteSpanishduringhistravels.HealsotaughthimselfLatinbecauseallthegeographybookswerewritteninLatin.”可知,哥伦布没有去上学,但是他在旅行中学会了读和写西班牙语。他还自学拉丁语。Learnbyoneself自学的意思。故答案为by。

【10】句意:人们记住哥伦布,因为他发现了一个新的世界,并为其他探险家指引了方向。根据短文最后的句子“HeisrememberedbyallnotonlyfortheNewWorldhediscovered,butalsoforthewayheledforotherexplorers.”说明人们应该记住哥伦布的原因。答案为remember。

As a young woman, my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely, although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam, and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe, my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed, experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make yourich.

Sixty years ago, human beings first reached the top of Mount Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West. But the increase in climbers is turning the world’s highest mountain into the “world’s highest junkyard(垃圾场)”.

Every year, more than 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma. They have left human waste and all kinds of rubbish, including oxygen bottles, broken tents, and plastic bags, according to Ang Tshering Sherpa, chief of the Nepal Mountaineering Association.

“The waste has become a health danger to people in the area since they depend on water from rivers fed by the melting glaciers(融化的冰川),” Sherpa said.

More and more people have realized the danger that Mount Qomolangma is facing and they are now taking active actions. To deal with the problem, Nepal has supported a special team of explorers and volunteers to clean the mountain since 2008. So far they have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish. Nepal also started to ask each climber to bring down 8 kg of rubbish in 2014.

On the Chinese side of the mountain, Tibet(西藏) will collect a cleaning fee of $100-200 (620-1240 yuan) per climber starting from this year. A program named “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” also started in 2004 to clear up the mountain.

Hopefully, human beings will finally solve the problem, just as they found the way up the mountain successfully.

【1】Which of the following was not used to call the world’s highest mountain long ago?

A. Mount Everest.

B. Mount Qomolangma.

【2】Why is the world’s highest mountain turning into the “world’s highest junkyard?

A. Tibet has not collected enough money to clear up the mountain.

B. Climbers have left too much human waste and all kinds of rubbish.

C. People in the area have no idea of how to recycle their daily rubbish.

D. 700 climbers spend nearly two months on Mount Qomolangma every year.

【3】What have been done to protect the environment of Mount Qomolangma?

A. Each climber has been asked to pay for the cleaning fee of $100-200.

B. Nepal has asked each climber to bring down all the rubbish they carried there.

C. A special team of explorers and volunteers have brought down 15,000kg of rubbish.

D. “Mount Qomolangma Action at the Third Pole of the Earth” has started in China and Nepal.
