Question

【題目】A few years ago national attention was fixed on a deep, dark cave in the mountains near where I live now. A team had entered the cave to do some research. Although every precaution had been taken to make it safe, one young man was separated from the team and lost in the depths of the cave.

For several days a rescue team worked around the clock, searching almost everywhere in the underground cave. With each passing hour chance of finding the young man inside the cave became smaller, and people had a lot of guesses. Perhaps he had simply run away. Or maybe he had stumbled out some other entrance and was now lost in the mountains. Or perhaps he was already... well, nobody wanted to say it. But everybody thought it. Everybody, that is, except the young man’s parents.

“ That wasn’t a choice in our opinion,” the young man’s mother said. “ Finally we would find him--safe and alive. We were certain of that.”

There was little reason to those who were familiar with the cave said it had been completely searched-several times. Common sense suggested that time was running out and that other choices needed to be considered--like when to say “enough”.

But like Kris Kringle says in his famous book A Miracle on 34th Street, “ Faith is believing in something even when common sense tells you not to do.” And the young man’s parents had faith. They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t let anyone else give up, either. And sure enough, the young man was found--hungry, thirst and afraid, but healthy.

How did the young man manage to stay a live in the cave?

“ I ‘ve never stopped believing that someone would find me ,” said the young man.

【解析】

短文大意：本文通過母親堅信走散的兒子仍然或者而堅持讓人們不放棄尋找，同時兒子也堅信人們能夠找到他，說明永不放棄才會發(fā)生奇跡，贊美了愛和信念的力量。

【1】題意：這個年輕人迷路了，可能是因為他和球隊走散了�？疾榧毠�(jié)判斷。根據(jù)開頭one young man was separated from the team and lost in the depths of the cave.和文中媽媽的話Finally we would find him--safe and alive.，可知年輕人和隊友走散了，故選A。

【2】題意：第3段下劃線的“That”指的是什么?考查詞義理解。根據(jù)上文人們的普遍想法Or perhaps he was already... well, nobody wanted to say it. But everybody thought it. Everybody, that is, except the young man’s parents.，可知除了年輕人的母親其他人都想放棄尋找，所以母親說“放棄尋找不是一個選擇”，故選B。

【3】題意：哪個標題最適合本文?考查標題歸納。根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容和And the young man’s parents had faith. They wouldn’t give up, and they wouldn’t let anyone else give up, either. And sure enough, the young man was found，正是相信年輕人還活著這個信念讓他們沒有放棄尋找并最終找到了年輕人，可知The Power of Believing（相信的力量）符合文意，故選A。

【4】題意：為什么父母和兒子認為“他”還活著?你為什么能從這個故事中學到東西?考查綜合理解。根據(jù)文中母親的堅持可知是愛的力量使她沒有放棄，結(jié)合最后兒子的話“ I ‘ve never stopped believing that someone would find me ,” said the young man.，可知填(1)His parents love their son and strongly believed his son can be alive and stopped others giving up .His son also believed people would find him, so he never gave up.

(2)First, our parents always love their children so much that they won’t give up. And they believe their children will know that.
