這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述旅行者尼古拉斯 斯考第從美國回意大利，飛機(jī)在肯尼迪機(jī)場加油，而他誤以為自己已經(jīng)到達(dá)意大利，所以下了飛機(jī)。最后在警察的幫助下回到目的地。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“The plane made a one-hour stop to get oil at Kennedy Airport of New York. As he thought he had arrived home, Mr. Scotti got off the plane”可知飛機(jī)在肯尼迪機(jī)場加油，他以為是達(dá)到了目的地所以在紐約就下了飛機(jī)。在機(jī)場沒有人來接他是因?yàn)樗�在紐約。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。意大利在美國的東南，從美國坐飛機(jī)回意大利方向應(yīng)該是向東。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“found that the old ‘Rome’ had changed a lot”他下飛機(jī)以為自己在意大利還覺得羅馬變化很大但其實(shí)他還是在紐約。根據(jù)第二段“Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones”和第三段“He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian and that many streets were written in English”可知許多老建筑被替換為現(xiàn)代的高樓，許多人講英語而不是意大利語，也發(fā)現(xiàn)許多用英文寫的路牌。這么多的不同之處，他卻沒有覺得自己走錯了，可見他對美國一無所知。故選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“I know I'm in Italy, That' s how they drive”他對他的翻譯說“我知道我現(xiàn)在在意大利，因?yàn)樗麄兙褪沁@么開車的”，意大利的警車也是這樣鳴笛，所以到最后警察把他送回去舊金山的飛機(jī)時，他還以為在意大利。故選B。

【題目】 It is late at night, People in Cape Town, South Africa. line up to collect water from a spring (泉). One by one, they fill their plastic bottles. Each person can take up to 13 gallons (加侖). Policemen stand by to keep the rules. In a few months, that number will be cut in half.

Cape Town is a city of four million people. It is running out of water. For three years, the city has faced a drought. It is the worst in a century. Local reservoirs are mostly sand and dried earth. Officers are telling people to save water. Otherwise, the city will one day be forced to turn off the supply to homes and businesses. That day is being called Day Zero. At press time, Day Zero was expected to be June 4. But the date may change based on water levels in local reservoirs.

"There are a lot of people who have not realized the problem," said Shirley Curry. She waited at a spring to get her share of water. "Now they suddenly realize this is for real."

On Day Zero, each person's daily water supply will drop to about 6.5 gallons. (The average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day.) Lines at the city's 200 water collection points will probably get even longer.

Some places will not be included in the cutoff. The water will keep running in hospitals and schools. It will stay on in poor areas, too. This is to prevent illness. Areas popular with tourists may also have water. More than 10 million people visit Cape Town each year. Tourism provides nearly 10% of South Africa's economy.

Across the city, people are making an effort to save water. They are taking 90-second showers. They are washing their clothes less often. Using tap water to wash cars or fill swimming pools is not allowed. Those caught using too much water are punished.

For some people, rationing ( 定量供應(yīng) ) now feels normal. Kelson da Cruz keeps one container of water near the shower. Another he uses for brushing his teeth and washing his face. He uses non-drinking water to flush the toilet.

【1】How much water will each person in Cape Town get in a few months?

A.13 gallons.B.10 gallons.C.9 gallons.D.6.5 gallons.

【2】What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A.What Day Zero is.B.What will happen on Day Zero

C.when Day Zero will start.D.When Day Zero will end.

【3】Which of the following is NOT a way to save tap water?

A.Taking shorter showers.B.Washing more clothes one time.

C.Filling swimming pools.D.Avoiding washing cars with tap water.

【4】What does the underlined word "flush" in the passage mean?

A.沖洗B.注滿C.清潔D.排放

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.The serious water shortage ( 短缺) in Cape Town.

B.The people in Cape Town didn't realize how serious their water problem was.

C.The things that have caused the water problem in Cape Town.

D.The help that the government is offering to people in Cape Town.

【題目】 Every Saturday night Mama would sit down by the table and count out the money Papa had brought home. Mama would carefully divide big groups for the housing, and food, and one or two coins for Nels or me — Katrin to buy notebooks.

With ___________ interest we would watch the money becoming less and less. At last Papa would ask, “Is that all?” When Mama nodded, we could relax a little. For Mama would look up and smile, “It's good.” she’d say. “We do not have to go to the Bank.”

It was a wonderful thing, that bank account (銀行賬戶) of Mama’s. We were all so proud of it. It gave us such a warm,_____________ feeling.

When finishing school Nels wanted to go on to high. “It will cost a little money,” Nels said to Mama. We gathered around the table watching a box in front of Mama. This was the “Little Bank” — used for unexpected situations. Nels had it all written out. So much for what he would need. Mama looked at the ____________ for a long time. Then she counted the money in the Little Bank. There wasn’t enough. “We do not,” she said to us gently, “want to have to go to the Bank.” We all ____________ our heads.

“I’ll work in Dillon’s shop after school,” Nels _____________.

Mama smiled at him. Papa said, “It's not enough.” Then he took his pipe out of his mouth. “I give up smoking,” he said. Mama ____________ the table and touched Papa’s hand, but she didn’t say anything.

“I will mind the Elvington children every Friday night,” I said. “It's good,” Mama said.

We all felt very good. We had passed another milestone (絆腳石) without having to go downtown and draw money out of the bank.

So many things, I remember, came out of the Little Bank during the past 20 years. Even during the Strike (罷) , Mama wouldn’t let us worry too much. We all worked together so that the important trip downtown could be put off.

The day the Strike was over and Papa went back to work, I saw Mama stand a little straighter, as if to get a kind out of her back.

Last year I sold my first story. I hurried to Mama’s and showed her the check. “For you,” I said, “to put in your Bank Account.”

“There is no ______________,” Mama said. “In all my life, I’ve never been inside a Bank.”

And when I didn’t — couldn’t — answer, Mama said _____________, “It's not good for little ones to be afraid — to not feel safe. ”

【1】A.endlessB.hopefulC.breathlessD.doubtful

【2】A.comfortableB.safeC.easyD.pleasant

【3】A.priceB.moneyC.objectsD.numbers

【4】A.noddedB.shookC.loweredD.raised

【5】A.decidedB.volunteeredC.suggestedD.mentioned

【6】A.reached acrossB.sat besideC.walked toD.moved around
