Question

【題目】What will you do if you are in trouble on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to attract the attention of a passing plane.

Body language

Pilots(飛行員) from different countries understand body languages if they have the correct training. When you put your arms up and down in a straight line, it means, “yes”. When you point down and swing (搖擺) your arm from side to side, it means “no”. If you want the pilot to know that it’s safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend(彎下) your knees. If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms up in the air and move them to one side.

Start a fire

The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to attract attention. If the weather is dry, it isn’t hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they lose control. Never light a tire unless you’re sure that it can’t spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

Ground- to- air marks

It’s a good idea lo make some marks, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the marks. If you can’t find any wood, use earth. Some useful marks are:

F :“I need food and water”

II:“I need medicine.”

I:“I am badly hurt.”

X:“I can’t move from here”

So next time, if you meet this problem and can’t get away from the island, try the advice above.

【1】Which of the following means “It’s not safe to land”?

【2】If you are hungry and thirsty, you should draw_________ on the ground.

A. F B. II C. I D. X

A. Putting up and down your arms in a straight line means “No”

B. You should start a fire when you are sure it will spread

C. It’s a good idea to use flowers and grass to make marks on the ground

D. Your body language, smoke and ground marks are helpful to save you out

【4】The passage is mainly about _______.

A. ways of living on a lonely island

B. ways of asking for help on a lonely island

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】本文主要介紹了如果孤單一個(gè)人到了無人島該怎樣自救，最好的機(jī)會(huì)是吸引經(jīng)過的飛機(jī)的注意：可以用肢體語(yǔ)言、生火、在地面做一些大型的標(biāo)志等等。

【1】推理判斷題。題意：下面哪一個(gè)是“著陸不安全”的意思？由第二段最后一句：If you want to say that it’s not safe to land, put your arms up in the air and move them to one side.可知，如果你想要說著陸不安全，把手臂伸向空中，并向一邊移動(dòng)。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：如果你又餓又渴，你應(yīng)該在地上畫什么？A. F；B. II；C. I；D. X。由短文里的：F :“I need food and water”可知，在地上畫F表示“我需要食物和水”。故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。題意：從短文中，我們可以了解到什么？A. Putting up and down your arms in a straight line means “No”手臂直上直下意思是“不”；B. You should start a fire when you are sure it will spread當(dāng)你確定會(huì)傳播開時(shí)，你應(yīng)該生火；C. It’s a good idea to use flowers and grass to make marks on the ground在地面上，用花和草作標(biāo)志是好主意。D. Your body language, smoke and ground marks are helpful to save you out你的肢體語(yǔ)言、煙和地面上的標(biāo)志有助于救你出去。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，如果我們被困在孤島上，我們可以使用肢體語(yǔ)言、生火、在地上做一些標(biāo)志等等來吸引飛過的飛機(jī)的注意力，從而有助于自己脫險(xiǎn)。故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。題意：短文主要是關(guān)于什么的？A. ways of living on a lonely island在孤島上生存的方式；B. ways of asking for help on a lonely island在孤島上求助的方式；C. body languages on an island島上的肢體語(yǔ)言；D. the importance of making marks on an island在島上做標(biāo)志的重要性。本文主要講述的是假設(shè)身陷孤島時(shí)的一些求助方式。所以本題選B。
