Question

【題目】When I was 12 years old, my family moved to a slightly nicer neighborhood in the Prince George’s County. I wasn’t happy about the move. I liked my school

and enjoyed riding the school bus; I had befriended (照顧) every dog in my old neighborhood and made good friends with them; and I would miss my special reading tree. Besides, we had only just moved to Maryland the year before.

Still, a new place to explore is always a good thing. Directly in front of our apartment building was a small wooded hill and that immediately became my domain (領(lǐng)地). I named a certain space “Buckingham Palace”, and didn’t allow anyone to disturb me there. A few years after I returned from my university in New Jersey to live in that neighborhood, only on the opposite side of the hill, I was pleased to share my palace with the friends who came to visit.

As I was not permitted to wander far without a good excuse, it took me slightly longer to discover the large field that was over a ridge (山脊) by the road. The field was, after all, in the opposite direction from my school and I had no reason to walk that way.

However, one day I did go off that way and happened to look down into the field and see, to my delight, lots of yellow flowers. The field was simply covered with them. Carefully, I began to climb down the ridge into the field, planning to pick a rose for my mother. Alas, I didn’t get far before the field of flowers rose and flew away. I had seen not a field of flowers but a garden of goldfinches (金翅雀).

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】本文屬于故事類文章。作者從原來的社區(qū)搬到一個(gè)新社區(qū)后，對(duì)新社區(qū)的探索。

【1】D

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“wasn’t happy about the move…I had befriended (照顧) every dog in my old neighborhood and made good friends with them”可知作者不喜歡這次搬家，因?yàn)槲乙�照顧原來社區(qū)的每一條小狗，和他們做好朋友。由此可判斷出他與社區(qū)的狗相處的非常好，故D符合題意。

【2】D

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中“I was pleased to share my palace with the friends who came to visit.”與前來的朋友分享我的領(lǐng)地，可判斷出不是邀請，故A是不正確的。與狗作好朋友是在原來的地方，故B也不對(duì)。大文章中沒提及作者從學(xué)校跑走，故C是不對(duì)。。“Directly in front of our apartment building was a small wooded hill and that immediately became my domain). I named a certain space “Buckingham Palace”, and didn’t allow anyone to disturb me there.”根據(jù)此可知作者不久在他們的公寓樓前有一個(gè)小樹林茂密的山上，就成了作者的域名（領(lǐng)地）。他給某個(gè)地方命名為“白金漢宮”，不允許任何人在那里打擾。可知答案是D。因此D是正確的。

【3】C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段：有一天我從那條路走了出去，碰巧看到田野里許多黃色折花，我想為母親摘一朵，還沒走近，花兒就飛走了，原來不是花而是金翅雀。由此可判斷出近了才知他看見的是金翅雀。故選B。

【4】A

主旨大意題。通讀全文可知作者從原來的社區(qū)搬到一個(gè)新社區(qū)后，對(duì)新社區(qū)的探索。在第二段一開始就出去一個(gè)新地方的探索總是一件好事，在新的公寓樓的山成了他的領(lǐng)地。又花了一段時(shí)間探索了那片田野，發(fā)現(xiàn)了金翅雀。由此可判斷出是對(duì)新社區(qū)的探索，故選A。
