When the dog named Judy spotted the firs...

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane(飓风) hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog back.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting hopelessly on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)at first but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water,” he added.

It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, “a minor miracle(奇迹)”.

1.The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was ________.

A. rescuing her owner    B. caught in a hurricane

C. blocked by a rock    D. running after a sheep

2.Who spotted Judy after the accident?

A. A student from Leeds    B. A birdwatcher

C. Six volunteers    D. The coastguard of Cornwall

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. People like to travel with their pets.

B. Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

C. Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

D. Luck plays an important role in Judy's survival.

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Miracle of the Coastguard.    B. Coming Back from the Dead.

C. Dangers in the Wild    D. Surviving a Hurricane.

 

1.D 2.B 3.D 4.B 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一只叫做Judy的狗从悬崖掉落坠入大海,最后却奇迹生还的故事。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知,Judy是在追赶一只羊时失去了方向感,从悬崖掉落,故选D。 2.细节理解题。根据第五段中的A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting hopelessly on a rock.可以得出答案,故选B。 3.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的It was a very lucky dog.可知,她是一只很幸运的狗,因此运气在她生还的过程中起到了重要的作用。故选D。 4.标题判断题。根据文意可知,Judy掉落悬崖之后,大家都以为她已经死了,但是她却幸运地生存下来,故选B。 【名师点睛】 故事类阅读应试技巧: 1、抓住文章的6个要素: 阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。 例如,本篇文章的第1题,就是对时间的考查。根据文章的第一段可知,Judy是在追赶一只羊的时候掉落了悬崖,因此选的是when she was running after a sheep。 2、注意作者的议论和抒情: 高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。 3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度: 故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节的理解,把握作者的态度。 4、有章有据进行解题判断: 分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。 例如第3小题,虽然通过阅读文章我们知道这只狗非常幸运,但是不能够脱离文章,文章中提到一句话It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water.由此我们才得出答案Luck plays an important role in Judy's survival.

About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their elementary(初等的) and high school education by working at home on computers. The center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public "cyberschools" and that is about twice as many as two years ago.

The money for students to attend a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.

Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cyberschool called Commonwealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when necessary.

Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.

1.What do we know from the text about students of a cyberschool?

A. They have to take long bus rides to school.

B. They study at home rather than in classrooms.

C. They receive money from traditional public schools.

D. They do well in traditional school programs.

2.What is a problem with cyberschools?

A. Their equipment costs a lot of money.

B. They get little support from the state government.

C. The students find it hard to make friends.

D. It is hard to know students' progress in learning.

3.Cyberschools are getting popular because _________.

A. they are less expensive for students

B. their graduates are more successful in society

C. their students can work at their own speed

D. they serve students in a wider age range

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart I was sad because I couldn’t stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.

When Christmas morning came, I awoke to a small hand rubbing my face. “Dad, Merry Christmas!” was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys’ faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.

Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and together with my wife I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.
