【題目】 My first home was a beautiful meadow with a pond of clear water. There were some large trees near the pond. On one side of the meadow was a field and on the other was the house of our master, Farmer Grey. He was a kind man.

My mother and I had a happy life. She worked during the day. I played with the other young horses and had great fun. At night I lay next to her.

One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon. He lived with his family in a big house.

"You're a beautiful horse, he said. "You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty."

I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to ware reins (纜繩) and a bit in my mouth, I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.

My master had two horses. One of them was Merrylegs. He was very friendly. The other was Ginger. She was not friendly. She bit and kicked people.

Ginger and I pulled a coach together. The coachman's name was John Ginger and I worked very hard. We became friends.

Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me. "My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care."

Squire Gordon and his men felt sorry for Ginger. They were always king to her. She stopped biting and kicking people. She became a happy horse.

One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey, John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr. Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a bridge. I stopped. “Something is wrong,” I thought, I did not want to go on to the bridge. Mr. Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge. I did not move. Just then a man saw us."Hey there! Stop!" he cried.

"What is it?" shouted the Squire.

"The bridge is broken in the middle, he answered. "If you go on to it, you are all going to drown in the river."

"Thank God!" said the Squire. "Thank you, Beauty!" said John. We turned around and went along the road by the river. For a long time no one said anything. Then John said: "Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous."

When we returned home, the Squire told Mrs. Gordon: "We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!"

That night I was glad, because I was very tired.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】

本文講述“我”是一匹黑色的馬，在兩個(gè)主人家的生活不一樣，主要講述在第二個(gè)主人Squire Gordon家的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“One day, my master sold me to Squire Gordon.”及“he said. "You have a beautiful black coat. I shall call you Black Beauty." ”可知這匹馬賣給了Squire Gordon，他叫這匹馬Black Beauty。故選B。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“My mother and I had a happy life.”可知Black Beauty和媽媽過著幸福的生活，故A不正確；根據(jù)“Ginger told me about her life when she was young. She told me. "My master was not kind to me. My reins and bit hurt me. My master did not care." ”可知Ginger小時(shí)候過得不快樂，故B正確；根據(jù)“I learned to ware reins (纜繩) and a bit in my mouth, I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.”可知所有的馬都必須戴著韁繩，故C不正確；根據(jù)“Squire Gordon went on a long journey, John went with him…”可知John和Squire Gordon一起去遠(yuǎn)行，故D不正確。故選B。

【3】詞義推測(cè)題。根據(jù)前文“The bridge is broken in the middle”可知橋中間斷了，如果繼續(xù)前行就會(huì)淹死在河里。劃線單詞drown意為“淹死”。故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“…the Squire told Mrs. Gordon: "We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty!" ”及“That night I was glad, because I was very tired.”可知主人感激Black Beauty，而且Black Beauty盡管很累但很開心。由此推斷出Black Beauty得到了好吃的食物和一張好床來休息。故選C。

本題的第3小題是詞義猜測(cè)題。詞義猜測(cè)題是閱讀理解中常見的一種題型，所猜測(cè)詞匯可以是生詞，也可以是熟詞新義，還可以是人稱代詞的指代內(nèi)容。詞義猜測(cè)題主要考查考生根據(jù)上下文推測(cè)詞義和語義的能力，突出考查對(duì)語境的分析和把握能力。本題可以利用上下文語境來猜測(cè)詞意。猜測(cè)任何詞義都離不開上下文，所以要借助上下文對(duì)需要猜測(cè)的詞或短語進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推測(cè)。

Nowadays, more and more young people are becoming too proud and over-confident. They think they can do e【1】. So they simply ignore(忽視) their old parents, and believe that their parents’ experienced thoughts are out of date. Actually I used to be one of them, but after h【2】 a story told by my father, I changed my mind completely. Now I would like to s【3】 it with all of you.

Once, there’s a young man who looked down on the o【4】. He always thought that the old were just nuisances (麻煩事) in your busy life, a useless life that was going to be over. He also did this to his father.

One day, the father and the son happened to meet each other in the garden. The son suggested that they should take a walk t【5】. As they walked, a beautiful garden came into their sight. The son pointed to one of the prettiest flower and said, “We young people are like this sweet flower, so healthy, so energetic, and full of spirit. What about you oldsters? Just l【6】the falling leaves from a dying tree.”

Hearing this, the father smiled but said n【7】. They continued the walking in silence. When they passed a shop, the father stopped and went in, he bought a walnut（核桃）and showed it to his son, slow and kind, he said, “We old are like this walnut. We’ve experienced many hard events in life. So we built up such a strong shell, and at the same time we also built up a pure inner world. Every fruit is so full-grown.”

“But every fruit was born by f 【8】.” Refuted(反駁) the son.

“Yes, but not every flower can bear fruit….”

From then on, I always keep this story in my m【9】. It has taught me a lot.

We should try to be a flower that can bear fruit. We also have to know that our parents aren’t nuisances, b 【10】 experienced walnuts, works of nature.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives( 觀點(diǎn) ) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read books. Reading reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
（1）What can be inferred about the author as a child?
A.He never watched TV.
B.He found reading unbelievable.
C.He considered reading part of his life.
D.He read what he had to.
（2）The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”.
A.a belief
B.a way of writing
C.a sound quality
D.a world to write about
（3）What effect does reading have on the author?
A.It opens up a wider world for him.
B.It helps him to realize his dream.
C.It makes his college life more interesting.
D.It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A.How do I read?
B.What do I read?
C.Why do I read?
D.When do I read?
