Question

The Batsquatch is described as a great winged bat. It’s reported that it lives in the shadows(陰暗處) of Mt. Saint Helens. It has purple skin, red eyes and the character is quite similar to the bat’s. Since reports tell it likes eating small animals like chickens, goats and pigs, some believe that it is actually a flying primate(靈長目動物). But researchers say that it is more closely related to the fruit bat of northern America.

Fear still fills the hearts of men, women and children of Washington. In May of 1980 during the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, the Batsquatch showed itself in the shadows of clouds from the eruption. In 1994, a local mountaineer was able to take pictures of the Batspuatch making the rumor(謠言) seem real. During this event some farm animals seemed to disappear though luckily no humans were reported missing at the time. The local mountaineer told about his meeting with the Batsquatch. When he suddenly heard a loud deep voice from the shadows, the mountaineer was knocked down. He tried to look for the creature(生物) that had made the sound. He saw a great creature with purple wings in the sky. It looked like it was about 30 feet tall.

The mountaineer kept this story a secret in fear of being laughed at by others but when new stories came in about the Batsquatch he shared his story.

The reality of the Batsquatch can no longer be ignored. It is only a creature that is trying to live. Respect! This is how we should take news such as this. Respect for a living creature instead of fear.

【解析】

試題分析:野蝙蝠的最初發(fā)現(xiàn)是在1980年5月，在圣海倫斯火山爆發(fā)之時，野蝙蝠從火山云的暗影中沖了出來。據(jù)說這個生物是個有著巨大翅膀的大蝙蝠，長著紫色的皮膚和發(fā)光的紅眼睛。當(dāng)時的人們認(rèn)為這是怪獸，對此心有余悸。

1. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容Fear still fills the hearts of men, women and children of Washington.可知關(guān)于野蝙蝠的謠言讓華盛頓的人們充滿了恐懼，選C。

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段內(nèi)容 In 1994, a local mountaineer was able to take pictures of the Batspuatch making the rumor(謠言) seem real.可知因為一位登山者拍攝的照片使人們對謠言更加深信無疑，故答案選D。

4. 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段內(nèi)容The mountaineer kept this story a secret in fear of being laughed at by others可知登山人沒告訴別人他的經(jīng)歷是由于他怕被人笑話，故答案選A。

5.推理判斷題。文章講述了野蝙蝠的發(fā)現(xiàn)以及起初人們對它們的恐懼，在文章最后作者做出總結(jié)：對于一種生物，人們應(yīng)該尊重而非畏懼，由此判斷答案選C。
