Part A

一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)

A

Having experienced a shocking electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,James Franco’s world became completely dark and quiet for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.

One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up 20 minutes later,lying face down in muddy water.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a tree and a muddy road.When Mrs Franco came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.

The news of James regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a compellent answer as to why this should happen.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since James lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was another sudden shock.

【文章大意】本文是记叙文。一次电击事故导致詹姆斯·弗兰科失明、失聪近十年,但后来因为另一次事故他竟然奇迹般地恢复了视力和听力。

1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.”可知,失去视力和听力使他生活在黑暗无声的世界里,这种痛苦导致他几度要自杀,D项符合文意。

Most kinds of rose plants are native to Asia.But roses also grow in other parts of the world including northwest Africa,Europe and the United States.In 1986,Congress and President Ronald Reagan chose the rose as America’s national

flower.Whatever the name,the decision did not smell sweet to supporters of other popular flowers.

Some people say roses are difficult to grow.But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts.You should choose a place to plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days.You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order.You can buy potted roses,also known as container roses,or bare-root plants.Each kind has its fans.

Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant.They say the roots develop better if you start with potted roses.But others point out that bare-root roses come without soil,so they weigh less to transport and that can save money.When growing roses,the soil should feel moist(潮湿的)deep down.

Watering should be done in the morning.You can avoid problems like black spot and mildew that way.Be careful not to water roses too much.Too much water can cause unhealthy discoloration on the leaves.

After heavy rains or too much watering,try temporarily pulling away mulch(覆盖物) from around the roots.Doing that will help dry the soil.Mulch stops weeds from growthing and holds moisture in the soil.You can use mulch made from bark,pine needles,cottonseed or oak leaves.

1.From the first paragraph,we know that in the United States . A.not all the people like roses B.there are a lot of national flowers C.some roses don’t smell sweet D.most roses exist naturally

2.Why do some garderners suggest planting bare-root roses? A.They are easier to plant. B.Their roots develop better. C.They are cheap to transport. D.They don’t need any sunshine.

3.From the last paragraph we can infer that placing mulch around rose plants .

A.helps dry the soil

B.avoids problems like black spot C.contributes to the rose growth D.makes more air flow around roses

4.Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A.The origin of the rose

B.The choice of the national flower C.The purchase of the rose D.The planting of the rose

【文章大意】本文是说明文,介绍了种植玫瑰的方法。

1.A 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可知,选择将玫瑰作为国花对其他花卉的支持者来说不是一个令人愉快的决定,可见并不是所有的美国人都喜欢玫瑰,故选择A项。

2.C 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“...so they weigh less to transport and that can save money.”可知C项正确。

3.C 推理判断题。最后一段第三句提到,覆盖物能够抑制杂草生长,保持土壤水分。据此推知,在玫瑰周围放置覆盖物有利于玫瑰生长,故选择C项。

4.D 标题归纳题。由第二段第二句“But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts.”可看出,本文介绍的是种植玫瑰的方法,下文都围绕这个中心展开,故选择D项。
