题型:不详难度:来源:

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.
“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer.” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”
“He won’t find out.” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”
Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.
It was a strange-looking machine –one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, “so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father"s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colors, shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”
“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen:
“ENTER NAMES
VOYAGER 1: …
VOYAGER 2: …”
Mark’s fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.
“INPUT ACCEPTED. START TRANSPORT PROGRAM. AUTO-RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动).”
The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.
“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled, reaching for the power switch. He was really frightened.
But his hand never reached the switch. A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow (光芒), until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed.
“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL. DESTINATION(目的地): MARS. RETRIEVE DATE: 2025.”
小题1:Why did Mark touch the computer against his father’s warning?
A.He wanted to take a voyage.

解析
这是一篇科幻文章。Mike对父亲从实验室带回来的电脑十分好奇。于是不顾父亲的警告,便按荧屏上要求操作起来。不料发生了时光穿越来到了火星上,返回时间2025年。
小题1:细节理解题 第四段告诉我们,Mike很难控制住自己的好奇心。这台新电脑着实令他着迷。也就说Mike被它大大吸引了。所以选C。
小题2:推理判断题 从第一段可知Mike的父亲是个科学家;从第五段第一句得知这台电脑是父亲实验室带回来的。因此可推知Mike的父亲在科研中心工作。故C选项正确。
小题3:推理判断题 从下文显示的不同操作提示以及发生时空穿越的情节可推知那是个时空穿越程序。在第6段中文章告诉我们Mike却误认为是个电脑游戏。故选A。
小题4:推理判断题 通过倒数第3,4 段的描述“银屏变得越加灼亮,电脑硬件内突然发出一声巨响。” “……Jason 确实感到害怕。”综合推知Jason想关掉电脑是害怕有危险之事发生。所以D 选项正确。

People who eat at home most of the time have better nutrition than those who go out to eat , a recent study shows. Cornell University professors Lana Hall and Karen Bunch interviewed(面试,接见) 3900 people in the survey. “People who eat less than 30 percent of their food away from home eat the most nutritiously,” they said.
“In general, Americans don’t have nutrient, except for iron and calcium,” they reported. They have the opposite problem——over—consumption(过度消耗), especially of fat.
The food at many fast food restaurants is often low in vitamins. “People who eat more than 30 percent of total calories away from home eat foods that are generally low in nutrients per calorie,” the professors said. More calories and enough nutrient intake(吸收) are required to achieve.
One of the major health risks(风险) is eating too much fat. The professor found than fat consumption became greater as income(收入) went up. It also went up in houses where the female worked. This is probably because these people eat more highly processed (加工的)foods.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following suggestions would you most readily take?
A.Eat out as many times as possible
B.Eat at home as many times as possible
C.Eat foods with a lot if iron, calcium and fat
D.Eat more highly processed foods
小题2:What is the result if people often dine out according to the passage?
A.They tend to have better nutrition
B.They tend to have less nutrition
C.They can save a lot of time
D.They will spend much money on it

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin, New York Knicks star; but I, watching him, saw someone else. That was my elder brother, Bob, who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade; he had to get up every now and then and run around the room. And sure enough, he grew up to be a starting player for an N.C.A.A. championship lacrosse(长曲棍球)team. He was a Nike-endorsed marathoner, too, and reached the top of Mt. Everest, unguided, in his 50s.
And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games. We did watch some of his marathons, but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s. When Bob was in his glory days, our Shanghainese-born parents were bent on getting him into medical school. There was a loving aspect to it: I can remember my father working through math books with him, lesson by lesson, at the big blackboard in the attic. Bob never did become a doctor, though; and neither did I. It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.
Bob today could be the fittest 58-year-old on the planet. His doctor estimates his biological age at 35; he’s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas. And, like Jeremy Lin, he’s charming. No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh. He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building, and it’s true. To know him is to cheer for him.
And yet my parents did not cheer for him. What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics, like Jeremy Lin’s mother? What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate? It’s hard not to wonder.
And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things? Amy Chua, the tiger mother, recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word. How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular, Gie-Ming Lin, encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?
小题1:Bob’s glory days were those ________.
A.when he was doing well in math
B.when he was in second grade
C.when he was made mayor of his building
D.when he showed his talents in sports
小题2:From the passage we can tell that Bob is ____________.
A.active and optimistic
B.clever and determined
C.brave and helpful
D.considerate and independent
小题3:Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?
A.Bob was always ignored by his parents
B.Bob could also have been a sport star.
C.Bob’s parents often watched his games.
D.Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.
小题4:From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ___________.
A.parents should always study together with their children
B.parents should know how to educate their children properly
C.children should be punished when they do anything wrong
D.children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents

At 2 p.m. on December 5, 1945, five Navy aircraft took off in perfect flying weather from a naval air installation in southeastern Florida, on a routine training mission over the Atlantic Ocean. Less than two hours later, the flight commander radioed that he was “completely lost”. Then there was silence. A rescue plane was sent to search for the missing aircraft, and it, too, disappeared. Despite one of history’s most extensive search efforts, involving more than 300 planes and dozens of ships, the Navy found nothing, not even an oil stain floating on the water.
This is just one of the many frightening stories told of “the Bermuda Triangle”, a mysterious area of the Atlantic Ocean roughly stretching southwest from Bermuda to the Florida coast and down to Puerto Rico. During the past 30 years, the triangle has claimed the lives of some 1,000 sailors and pilots.
Stranger yet are the numerous “ghost” ships that have been found floating crewless within the triangle. On one strange occasion in 1881, the cargo ship Ellen Austin discovered a small sailing ship, sails waving uselessly in the wind. The boat was full of wood with no one on deck. The captain of the Ellen Austin installed a new crew to sail it, but two days later, during a rough storm, the two ships temporarily lost sight of each other. When the captain again boarded the boat, he found his crew had disappeared. After a second crew was assigned, the ship was again lost in a fog bank. This time, no trace of the boat — or the crew — was ever found.
Charles Berlitz, a man with an interest in Atlantis, the legendary lost island, puts forward his theory that a giant solar crystal, which once was the power generator for Atlantis, lies on the ocean floor. From time to time, according to his theory, passing ships and planes set off the crystal, which confuses their instruments and engulfs them into the ocean.
Officially, the U.S. Navy does not recognize the triangle as a danger zone and is convinced that “the majority of disappearances in the triangle can be due to the unique features of the area’s environment.” These include the swift Gulf Stream current and the unexplored valleys under water of the Atlantic. Also, the triangle is one of only two places on earth where a compass needle points to true north rather than magnetic north, causing problems in navigation.
However, other scientists argue that beings from outer space have established a highly advanced civilization in the unexplored depths of the Atlantic inside the triangle. There, they believe, most of the missing vessels – and their crews – may still be on display for study by these higher intelligences.
小题1:The author develops the first two paragraphs through _______.
A.a series of events described in order of time
B.a general view supported by specific examples
C.a specific incident followed by a general introduction
D.a strange phenomenon followed by cause explanation
小题2:What did the captain of Ellen Austin do when he discovered a small sailing ship floating crewless?
A.He had all the wood transferred onto his own ship.
B.He had new powerful sails fixed on the small boat.
C.He sent a message that they were in danger and needed help.
D.He asked some of his sailors to get onto the boat to sail it.
小题3:The underlined word “engulfs” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A.dropsB.sucksC.puts D.throws
小题4:Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage?
A.The Mysterious Bermuda Triangle
B.The History of the Bermuda Triangle
C.A New Research on the Bermuda Triangle
