I heard the bees long before I saw them.
It was a very hot afternoon, and we decided to cool off in the river near my home. As we climbed down a small rocky hill toward the water, my boyfriend John suddenly started to shout then jumped into the water below. Peter and Mary quickly followed but I was too far away to jump. I was trapped.
I heard a low hum(嗡嗡声),which was growing louder. From a distance, the group of bees looked almost like a cloud of smoke. As it got closer, I realized it was actually thousands of bees flying towards me.
All I could do was cover my face with hands. Crazily, I thought that if I sat very still, the bees would think I was just another rock.
After a few minutes, I knew my plan hadn’t worked. The bees were attacking me. I could hear my friends shouting at me to get down to the pool fast.
But it wasn’t so easy. I was in great pain and the only way I could get away was to use my hands to climb down the rocks. However, I was afraid to do that at first because my face would be unprotected. The noise the bees made was so loud and frightening, but I had no choice.
I rushed down the rocks and jumped into the pool, but I don’t remember doing it. I was just so happy to be free from the pain. I was safe, and the water felt wonderful.
But we still weren’t out of danger. Every time we tried to climb out of the pool, the bees flew back over our heads. We spent the next three hours in the water, putting our heads under the water from time to time to avoid the bees until they finally lost interest.

答案

小题1:C
小题1:B
小题1:B
小题1:C
小题1:A
解析

小题1:细节理解题。由文章第二段我们可以知道the writer,John, Peter和Mary四个人去游泳。
小题1:细节推理题。第三段第二,三句话是说“从远处看,这群蜜蜂就像是一团浓烟。当它们越来越近时,我意识到,事实上这是成千上万的蜜蜂飞向我”。根据第二三句,我们就可轻易地得知it 是指the group of bees.故选B。
小题1:细节推理题。从第二段最后一句可得知,作者一开始并没有跳入水里是因为作者too far away to jump,故选B.
小题1:细节理解题。从第四段,我们可知道,作者试图用手遮住脸,并认为只要一动不动,蜜蜂就以为是一块岩石了,但是第五段说…I knew my plan hadn’t worked. 因此作者并没有摆脱蜜蜂,故排除A和D。B文章没有提及。
小题1:归纳推理题。文章先是交代了Tom 跳入水中,接着作者听到蜜蜂的嗡嗡声,随后蜜蜂袭击了作者,作者也跳入水中,但是蜜蜂仍在他们的头顶上徘徊。根据这条主线,我们就可以归纳出故事发生的先后顺序。故选A

1990 was a significant year in world enents. In Febbruary, Nelson Mandela was set free after 27 years in prison. In October, East and West Germany became one country again. Then at the end of 1990, the World Wide Web was born. For this final event we have one man to thank, Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Web.
Berners-Lee was born on June 8, 1955 in London, England. His parents, both computer designers, encouraged him to think and work creativelhy as he grew up. He was an excellent student and naturally took an interest in computers and science.

Tim knew that the more people used the Web, the more useful it would be. He wasn’t interested in money but knowledge, so he gave out his invention for free to anyone who was interested. Many were interested and the growth of the Internet began.
Today Tim works as a professor at the MIT in America, researching new and interesting ways to use the Web. He has received many awards from governments and organizations for his efforts.
