【解析】

試題分析:本文主要介紹了Mrs Grant在公交車(chē)上錯(cuò)拿了一把雨傘,以及由此引出的幽默故事。

1.C  考查動(dòng)詞辨析及語(yǔ)境理解。Keep 繼續(xù);bring帶來(lái);take 帶走;leave 留下. 根據(jù)前一句中的“Mrs Grant離開(kāi)家時(shí)天空很晴朗“可知,她決定不帶雨傘,take an umbrella是固定搭配,因此答案為C。

2.D  考查連詞辨析及語(yǔ)境理解 before 在。。之前;until 直到。。才;though 雖然;when當(dāng)。。時(shí)候。根據(jù)后文她拿錯(cuò)傘,可知當(dāng)汽車(chē)到市場(chǎng)時(shí)雨還沒(méi)有停,“當(dāng)....的時(shí)候”應(yīng)該用連詞when,因此答案為D

3.A  考查動(dòng)詞及語(yǔ)境理解 hanging 懸掛;appearing 出現(xiàn);dropping 掉下;losing失去。由外面正在下雨及關(guān)鍵詞“心不在焉的”,可知她應(yīng)該是順手拿起“掛在”她前面的雨傘,因此答案為A。

4.B  考查形容詞及語(yǔ)境理解 angry 憤怒;sorry 抱歉 ;lucky 幸運(yùn)的;glad高興的。等她知道拿錯(cuò)傘后,一定是不好意思,因此答案為B。

5.D  考查名詞及語(yǔ)境理解  reply 回答;call 打電話(huà);suggestion 建議;look表情。傘主人此時(shí)的臉上應(yīng)該是非常不高興,因?yàn)樽钚枰獋愕臅r(shí)候,它卻被別人給拿走了,因此答案為D。

6.B  考查動(dòng)詞及語(yǔ)境理解  promised 承諾;decided 決定;agreed 同意;remembered 記得。本題題意為“然后她決定再買(mǎi)一把當(dāng)作禮物送給女兒。”“決定”應(yīng)該表示為decide,因此答案為B。

7.B  考查動(dòng)詞及語(yǔ)境理解  hiking 遠(yuǎn)足;shopping 購(gòu)物 ;trying 試著;searching 搜查。根據(jù)句意 她去市場(chǎng)的目的是購(gòu)物,因此答案為B。

8.C  考查動(dòng)詞及語(yǔ)境理解  meant 意味著;explained 解釋?zhuān)籹aw 看到;forgot 忘記。根據(jù)句意 她坐上車(chē)后才“看見(jiàn)”,故用動(dòng)詞saw。

9.D  考查形容詞及語(yǔ)境理解  jealous 妒忌的;bored 厭倦的;satisfied 滿(mǎn)意的;uncomfortable 不舒服的。本句句意為“她正坐在那個(gè)上午讓她感到尷尬的婦女旁邊,因此答案為D。

10.A  考查名詞及語(yǔ)境理解  day 天;meal 飯;journey 旅行;present 目前。這正是文章的幽默所在,那個(gè)婦女以為Mrs Grant又拿錯(cuò)了別人兩把傘,故諷刺她說(shuō)你今天太幸運(yùn)了。

考點(diǎn):故事類(lèi)短文。

Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
【小題1】Most stars are _________________________.

A.following a regular path in space
B.moving about without a fixed course
C.seldom wandering about in the universe
D.a(chǎn)lways travelling together
【小題2】Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _____________.
A.the star moved away from the sun
B.a(chǎn)nother star happened to come near the sun
C.the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth
D.a(chǎn) large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun
【小題3】The article suggests that _______________.
A.how space formed
B.our earth exists before the sun
C.no one knows where the earth comes from
D.our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun
【小題4】The expression “the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________.
A.the large tidal waveB.the powerful tidal pull
C.the star coming near the sunD.one of sun’s planets
【小題5】 In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.
A.where the planets in the universe came from
B.how the high mountains were formed on the sun
C.that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it
D.why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful
