Ⅲ.阅读理解

Your body，which has close relations (关系) with the food you eat，is the most important thing you own，so it needs proper treatment and proper nourishment (营养)．The old saying “An apple a day keeps the doctor away” is not as silly as some people think. The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C．Many people take extra vitamins in pill form，believing that these will make them healthy. But a good diet is made up of nourishing food and this gives all the vitamins you need. The body doesn't need or use extra vitamins，so why waste money on them？
In the modern western world，many people are too busy to bother(操心) about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs，eating hurriedly and carelessly. The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.

2．The old saying in the passage tells us that ________.
A．the apple is the best among all kinds of fruits
B．apples can take the place of doctors
C．eating apples regularly does lots of good to our health　
D．an apple is a sure cure for illness
3．In the second paragraph， the writer tries to let us know ________.
A．our bodies need food or we can't live
B．often eating apples is a good habit
C．taking extra vitamin pills is completely useless
D．a good diet is of great importance for our health

B
(2013·四川高考)On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully， he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12­year­old boys， Christian and Jack， rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls(回忆). “I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point， I considered turning back，”he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling， he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing， but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(码头)，”Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward， waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？”he cried. “A little bit，”the boys said.
Once they were in the water， Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again. “Yes，”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes， they reached the pier.
6．Why did the two boys go to the sea？
A．To go boat rowing
B．To get back their football
C．To swim in the open water
D．To test the umbrella as a sail
7．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to？
A．The beach B．The water
C．The boat D．The wind
8．Why did Tim raise his head regularly？
A．To take in enough fresh air
B．To consider turning back or not
C．To check his distance from the boys
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella
9．How did the two boys finally reach the pier？
A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
B．They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C．They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.1overweight　2.lungs　3.throat　4.breathes
5．prescription　6.weight　7.awful　8.Insurance
9．questionnaire　10.symptoms
Ⅱ.1.D　句意：她把孩子放在床上后，躺下开始读书。lay­ laid­ laid 意为“放置”；lie down意为“躺下”，其过去式为lay down，故D项正确。
2．D　考查put....into结构。spend搭配的介词应是on或in。
3．A　考查“祈使句＋and/or＋陈述句”结构，因为前后是顺承关系，故A项正确。
4．D　句意：航天员翟志刚成为太空行走的第一个中国人。动词不定式作后置定语，因为是the first Chinese 是叙述一般情况，因此用不定式的一般形式。
5．B　句意：然而几天前一场可怕的事故确实发生了。wonderful令人高兴的；awesome令人赞叹的；imaginative富有想象力的，均不合句意。awful可怕的，符合句意。
6． B　the problem with...关于……的问题，固定用法。
7．C　句意：起初我对英语不感兴趣，但后来开始喜欢它了。从句子结构看，此处需要的是状语，故排除A项；D项不符合句意。to begin with意为“首先，第一”，用来列举理由；at first意为“起初，一开始”，表示后来情况发生了变化，故C项正确。
8．B　考查固定词组take a deep breath意为“深呼吸”，相当于动词短语breathe deeply。
9．B　考查固定词组。have/run a temperature意为“发烧”。
10．C　否定词加比较级相当于最高级概念，根据空后的“还想再看一次”可知答案为C。
Ⅲ.1.C　细节推断题。根据第一段“The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C”可知我们人体需要维生素；又根据第二段可知“西方国家有些人由于忙而不注意合理的饮食，结果引起很多疾病”。可以推断答案为C。
2．C　细节推断题。根据第一段“The body needs fruit and vegetables because they contain vitamin C．”可知苹果等水果富含人体所必需的维生素。所以选C。
3．D　细节推断题。根据“The list of illnesses caused or made worse by bad eating habits is frightening.”可知答案。
4．A　细节理解题。根据“In the modern western world，many people are too busy to bother(操心)about eating properly. They throw anything into their stomachs...”可知。
5．B　归纳主旨题。本文开始提出“Your body，which has close relations(关系)with the food you eat...”可知。
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。全文记叙了Tim成功地从海中解救了两个12岁男孩的故事。
6．B　细节理解题。由第二段的Two 12­year­old boys...search for a football.可知B项正确。
7．D　词义猜测题。文中第二段后三句意为：他们一把船划出静水区，绑在船上的沙滩伞就遇到了风，然后把船拖进了开阔的水域。这两个男孩慌了，尽力想划回海岸。但是他们不是大风的对手，船失去了控制。此处的it指的是the wind。本题易误选B和C，但water和boat都是在wind的作用下才产生力量，所以与两个男孩对抗的是the wind。
8．C　细节理解题。由第四段I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.“我在尽力弄清楚如何以最近的路线游到男孩们那里”可知，此处Tim抬头是为了确认他与孩子们之间的距离。A项“吸入足够的新鲜空气”文章未提及，B项“考虑是否要返回去”，由下文可知只是作者一时的想法，而不是每次抬头都会考虑，D项“要求男孩们把伞放下来”是他游到男孩附近才说的，故均排除。
9．A　细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的．..Tim decided...to pull the boys toward the pier.可知男孩们是被Tim拖到码头边的。所以A项符合题意。
Ⅳ.1.We've got a problem with the car；it won't start！
2．He is always the first (student) to come to school.　3.Get up early tomorrow， or you'll not catch the early bus.　4.He picked up Chinese when he was living in Beijing.　5.How beautifully she sings！ I have never heard a better voice.
