27、(共35分)上周六蘇州遭遇了可怕的暴雨。你正在戶外,親歷了此次暴雨。請根據(jù)下表,用英語描述你所看到的情景,并談談你的感想。詞數(shù)80左右。發(fā)生時間上周六當時情況狂風暴雨,寸步難行,天變得很黑,路上發(fā)生了多起車禍;其中有一個駕駛員的左腿嚴重受傷,幸運的是,你的感想_ 參考答案一、1. C 點撥: 短語辨析法。start fire生火; cause fire引起火災; catch fire著火。很少出現(xiàn)begin fire。句意為“由于閃電擊中了它, 那個房子著火了”, 故選C。 2. C 點撥: 短語辨析法。put away 整理好; throw away扔掉; wash away 沖走; tak

28、e away拿走。句意為“據(jù)報道, 在海嘯來臨時, 海水沖走了很多東西, 比如房子、汽車等等”。故選C。3. B 點撥: hundred、thousand這類數(shù)量單位詞, 前面有具體數(shù)字時, 是不能加s的; 后面有of時, 是需要加上s, 表示數(shù)百的, 或數(shù)千的。故選B。4. A 點撥: 句意為“既然你知道了英語是重要的, 你就應該把它學好”。Since既然, 符合題意。故選A。5. B 點撥: 根據(jù)題意, 我看不清黑板, 說明我是坐在比我高的男孩之后的, 是空間上的, 應用behind。故選B。6. B 點撥: 考查連詞。句意為“男生在下棋, 女孩在操場上打排球”。兩者都用的進行時, 所以是

29、同時發(fā)生的, 應用while連接, 表示當時。故選B。7. A 點撥: 第一個if意為“是否”; 第二個if意為“如果”。表示“是否”時, 從句使用其意義上所表示的時態(tài), 故用一般將來時; 表示“如果”時, 需要遵循主將從現(xiàn)的原則, 故用一般現(xiàn)在時, 故選A。8. A 點撥: 短語辨析法。先考查break down, 指汽車的拋錨, break out指爆發(fā); 后考查because引導從句, because of后加名詞性短語。the bad weather是名詞性短語, 故選A。9. A 點撥: 考查名詞。句意為“當?shù)卣鸢l(fā)生時, 我認為最重要的安全法則是保持冷靜”。rule規(guī)則, 故選A。1

30、0. A 點撥: 考查時態(tài)。句意為“你認為新裙子的顏色怎么樣啊？對不起, 我剛正在思考其他東西, 我沒有看”。根據(jù)句意可知, 是指剛剛我正思考其他的東西, 所以是過去進行時。故選A。二、11. B 點撥: 考查形容詞。通過后文對第一天的描述, 例如需要搭建帳篷、生火等可知第一天是充滿困難的。12. A 點撥: 考查名詞。 根據(jù)文章在山上參加生存訓練課, 除了需要帳篷、食物、指南針之外, 還需要地圖。并且第四段也有提到 map。13. A 點撥: 考查動詞。 根據(jù)上文我們需要搭建帳篷可知 Fanny 建議露營在附近的草地上。suggest 建議; finish 完成; imagine 想象; e

31、njoy 享受。所以選A。14. D 點撥: 考查形容詞。根據(jù)前文 Mr. Lee 指出, 如果下雨, 我們建在草地邊的帳篷會被淹掉。水往低處走, 所以我們應建在更高的地方。15. C 點撥: 考查副詞。根據(jù)空格前, 搭帳篷很困難, 空格后又稱 Mr. Lee 幫助了我們, 所以我們很幸運。surprisingly令人驚訝地; suddenly突然地; luckily, 幸運的是; usually通常。16. A 點撥: 根據(jù)后文Peter 說“如果我們帶了零食, 就不會挨餓了。”以及后面生火做飯, 說明每個人都很餓。17. C 點撥: 考查動詞。根據(jù)后面讓他來幫助我們一起生火, 所以是停止抱

32、怨。start“開始”; mind“介意”; stop“停止”; continue“繼續(xù)”。所以選C。18. D 點撥: 考查副詞。我們告訴 Peter不要抱怨, 而是來幫我們一起生火做飯。yet“還”; too“也”; again“再一次”; instead“代替”。 19. A點撥: 考查動詞短語。意識到我們生火有困難時, 他最終來幫忙了。help out“幫助擺脫困境”; give out“公布; 用完”; work out“解決”; start out“開始; 著手”。20. B 點撥: 考查動詞。我們被奇怪的聲音吵醒, 所以 Peter 跑出去看發(fā)生了什么。develop“發(fā)展”;

33、happen“發(fā)生”; begin“開始”; follow“跟隨”。21. B 點撥: 考查動詞短語。 根據(jù)上文早餐被奶牛吃了, Mr. Lee 對 Peter 說是因為昨晚沒有把食物正確儲存起來。throw off“擺脫”; put away“存儲”; eat up“吃完”; sell out“賣完”。22. C 點撥: 考查名詞。 空格后表示解釋說明, 意為“用地圖和指南針找到一個秘密地”。 所以這是一項任務。plan“計劃”; lesson“課程”; task“任務”; problem“問題”。23. D 點撥: 考查連詞。句意為“我們在其他組找到之前成功找到了秘密地”。 till“直到

34、為止”; after“在之后”; when“當時”; before“在之前”。24. D 點撥: 考查代詞。 空格所在的句子主語是We, feel proud of oneself為某人自己感到自豪。所以選D。25. B 點撥: 考查名詞。句意為“生存訓練課是一次很棒的經(jīng)歷”。example“例子”; experience“經(jīng)歷”; mistake“錯誤”; competition“競賽”。三、26. D 點撥: 文章出處題。這樣的一篇報道一定出自對自然災害詳細描寫的科學類的讀物中, 所以選D。27. A 點撥: 細節(jié)理解題。文章第二段的描寫告訴我們大多數(shù)臺風發(fā)生在7、8和9月份, 也就是比較熱的季節(jié)。故選A。28. B 點撥: 細節(jié)理解題。整個文章的第三段就是對臺風形成的描寫, 先是海水蒸發(fā), 空氣變熱, 導致流動變快, 形成了風, 風加速后就形成了臺風。故選B。29. C 點撥: 細節(jié)判斷題。A項, 隨著空氣的溫度升高, 風速應加快, 所以是錯誤的; B選項
