“Mother, may I go down to the river? It has stopped raining now!”

“Very well, Tom,” replied his mother, “only, be careful, and don’t stay away long!”

So, Tom ran off down the field to the river which flowed past his father’s farm in far north Queensland in Australia. It had been raining for ten days. Sometimes the rain fell fast and hard, then light showers would follow. The ground was all wet.

“All hot countries, such as where we live,” Tom’s father had once told him, “may flood at times. The sun has great power in the tropics to draw up the water from the sea. You know how the vapour rises into the air. The higher the temperature of the air, the greater the amount of moisture(水分) the air can hold. When the air cools, the vapour becomes clouds, or if it is near the earth’s surface, as mist(薄霧). When the air cools gradually(逐漸地), the rain drops are small and the rain is light. However, when the vapour drops suddenly in temperature, the drops are large and the rain is heavy.”

“In some tropical countries, where the sun is always at work on large bodies of water, a very large amount of vapour collects in the air, and it may take days, or even weeks, to form rain drops and fall. It may then rain for days continually. When this happens, after two or three days, the water falls does not have the time to soak(浸泡) through the soil or be carried off in the streams; so it gathers on the surface, and then we have a flood.”

When Tom got to the river, where the crossing was, he found the water rising rapidly. He thought about what his father had taught him about the floods, and decided to go back home at once and tell him the news.

【1】C

【2】A

【3】C

【4】D

【5】A

【6】D

【解析】

這篇短文講述的是一個叫Tom的小男孩，他生活的地方連續(xù)下了十天的雨了，他來到河邊，發(fā)現(xiàn)河水漲得很快，他想起了父親曾教過的關(guān)于洪水的知識，知道即將爆發(fā)洪水，所以他決定把這個消息趕緊告訴他的父親。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文中So, Tom ran off down the field to the river which flowed past his father’s farm in far north Queensland in Australia.這句話提到這條河流經(jīng)他父親在澳大利亞昆士蘭州北部的農(nóng)場。由此可知Tom的爸爸應(yīng)該是一個農(nóng)民，故應(yīng)選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文開頭“Mother, may I go down to the river? It has stopped raining now!”提到Tom請求媽媽同意他去河邊，他說雨已經(jīng)停了；下文It had been raining for ten days說到雨已經(jīng)下了10天了。由此可知Tom已經(jīng)有10天沒有出門了。故應(yīng)選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中The higher the temperature of the air, the greater the amount of moisture(水分) the air can hold可知，空氣溫度越高，空氣中的水分就越大。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文中The sun has great power in the tropics to draw up the water from the sea. You know how the vapour rises into the air、When the air cools, the vapour becomes clouds, or if it is near the earth’s surface, as mist、When the air cools gradually(逐漸地), the rain drops are small and the rain is light、It may then rain for days continually. When this happens, after two or three days, the water falls does not have the time to soak(浸泡) through the soil or be carried off in the streams; so it gathers on the surface, and then we have a flood.可知，海洋中的水上升到空中形成水蒸氣，當(dāng)空氣冷卻的時候，水蒸氣就會變成云或者薄霧；當(dāng)空氣逐漸冷卻就會形成雨。如果連續(xù)兩、三天下雨，水沒有時間浸泡土壤或進(jìn)入主流，它聚集在表面，然后就形成了洪水。由此可知D選項(xiàng)的排序符合文意。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，Tom的父親曾經(jīng)告訴過他洪水是怎樣形成的，再根據(jù)When Tom got to the river, where the crossing was, he found the water rising rapidly可知，Tom看到河水上漲得很快，他知道可能要有洪水了，所以他要趕緊告訴他的爸爸。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

【6】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，Tom來到河邊，看到河水上漲得很快，他馬上想起了父親曾經(jīng)給他講過的關(guān)于洪水形成的知識，知道馬上要來洪水了。由此可見Tom是一個很聰明的男孩。故應(yīng)選D。

這篇短文給我們講述了一個聰明的小男孩Tom的故事，他在河邊看到河水上漲得很快，他馬上想起了父親曾經(jīng)給他講過的關(guān)于洪水形成的知識，知道馬上要來洪水了，決定趕緊告訴他的父親。短文敘述的故事比較容易理解，但文章第四段關(guān)于雨和洪水的形成過程的介紹在理解上有一定的難度。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題和推理判斷題，主要考查學(xué)生們對文章事實(shí)信息的理解，和在細(xì)節(jié)基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行推理的能力，考查比較全面。例如第1小題，根據(jù)短文中So, Tom ran off down the field to the river which flowed past his father’s farm in far north Queensland in Australia.這句話提到這條河流經(jīng)他父親在澳大利亞昆士蘭州北部的農(nóng)場。由此可知Tom的爸爸應(yīng)該是一個農(nóng)民，故應(yīng)選C。再如第6小題，結(jié)合文意可知，文章講述了小男孩Tom利用父親曾經(jīng)給他講過的關(guān)于洪水形成的知識，在河邊看到了河水上漲很快，于是他判斷馬上要來洪水了，由此可見Tom是一個很聰明的男孩。故應(yīng)選D。
