(2017·山西省大同一中高一期中)
It was time for a school holiday and I was at home.My family's house was located in (位于) an area by the sea.
I just sat down in front of the television.Suddenly I heard a loud noise and then the first shock started to hit.My mom and I ran to the front door.We got out and we were standing in the street holding on to each other to stand up.The ground was covered with snow.I could remember watching black cracks in the earth snaking their way along the ground.A tree in our back yard was actually cut in half.
As suddenly as the earthquake started, it was over.Dead silence.Then a light snow began to fall.All the power was off—no radio, no TV and no communication with the outside world.We found out later that the ground area was lowered an average of 35 feet.
My dad succeeded in getting home from where he worked in the city centre.Later that evening we were told to leave the area because a terrible ocean wave was expected.We spent the night and the next day and night away from home at the shelter.
I often think about the courage my dad showed during that time.Before Dad retired, he was a senior manager of a famous local company.This company was damaged because of the quake.Dad stayed in the company to rebuild the business and rebuild our family home.
文章大意:文章讲的是一个冬天,一个小镇发生了地震,以及地震后的一些情况。
1.In which season did the earthquake take place? __D__
A.Spring. B.Summer.
C.Autumn. D.Winter.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第五句话“The ground was covered with snow”地面被雪覆盖。可知是冬天,故选D。
2.After the earthquake, the writer's father __B__ .
A.opened up his own company
B.lived with his family and did a better job
C.helped neighbors build their houses
D.became a famous person in their town
解析:细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Dad stayed in the company to rebuild the business and rebuild our family home.”父亲留在公司重建公司,重建我们的家园。故选B。
3.What would be the best title of the passage? __C__
A.My father B.My mother and I
C.A quake in my town D.Earthquake tips
解析:主旨大意题。纵观全文章讲的是一个冬天,一个小镇发生了地震,以及地震后的一些情况。所以C项是文章主题。

(2018·河南省郑州市高一上学期期末)
On December 24th, 1971, 17yearold Juliane got on a plane with her mother in Peru to fly to meet her father.
Over the Amazon jungle, there was a thunderstorm.The rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind.Unexpectedly, lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres and it __1.exploded__ (explode).Juliane fell quickly through the air and hit the trees hard.She was unconscious (昏迷的) for __2.hours__ (hour).When she woke up, she found her right arm was cut, her shoulders hurt badly __3.and__ she couldn't see in one eye.
Juliane's father was a biologist and when she was small, he taught her how __4.to survive__ (survive) in the jungle.She found a small river and walked slowly along it.“If I follow the river,” she thought, “I __5.will/ shall find__ (find) people.” The river also gave her clean water to drink.It was __6.extremely__ (extreme) hot, but the river water kept her cool.Sometimes she had to swim in the river because it was too deep to walk in.There were crocodiles (鳄鱼) in the water, but they didn't attack her! There was fruit on sonic trees, but she didn't eat it—she knew it was too dangerous.
Juliane walked for ten days.__7.At__ night she stopped to sleep because it was too dark to walk.Ten days after the crash, she found a small shelter by the river, in __8.which__ there were some woodcutters.They cleaned her cuts carefully and the next day, they carried her down the river, and she __9.was taken__ (take) back safely to Pucallpa by a plane.She was the only person who survived the plane crash.The other 91 people, __10.including__ (include) her mother, all died.
The film director, Werner Herzog, had a ticket to travel on the plane but missed it.Thirty years later, he made a film called “Wings of Hope” about Juliane and her unbelievable story.
解析:
1.考查谓语动词的时态。根据 and可知是并列句,再根据前句The rain fell heavily and there was a strong wind.Unexpectedly, lightning hit the plane at 3,000 metres可知时态用过去式。
2.考查名词复数。根据语境此处表示昏迷好几小时,hour 应该用复数。
3.考查连词。此处表示肩膀受伤,眼睛也看不见了,是并列关系,所以用and。
4.考查动词不定式。此处表示父亲教过她怎么在丛林中生存,how to do作teach的宾语。
5.考查谓语。此处是条件状语从句,时态用主将从现,所以主句要用将来时,will/shall do。
6.考查副词。此处表示非常热。形容hot用副词extremely。
7.考查介词。此处表示在夜晚,在夜晚用at。
8.考查关系代词。此处为非限定性定语从句,先行词为river。
9.考查被动语态。根据语境可知此处用过去式,她被带到安全的地方。所以用被动语态。
10.考查非谓语动词。including介词“包括”,此处表示主动关系,另外的91人中包括她妈妈,都死了。
