【題目】 Years ago parents worried their children would learn the truth about Santa Claus(圣誕老人)from others, but now they have a new problem—the Internet.

A recent study from Hide My Ass! Shows 1 in 8 American parents said the Internet told their children the truth about Santa Claus. 44% of parents thought Google was a danger to this Christmas story, as children searched for Santa and found pages explaining he is not real. About 34 percent of children questioned Santa Claus after seeing ads online for gifts they had asked for in their letters to the North Pole (北極). Sadly，one in three children said their Christmas spirit was dead after reading a post saying Santa wasn’t real.

Before the Internet, the only way children found out their parents bought their gifts was if they were in a bad hiding place. Today, two-thirds of parents never clear their browser (瀏覽器) history, making it easy for kids to find out the gifts under the tree weren't put there by a happy man and his little helpers.

To keep Mr. Claus alive, “Keep Believing in Santa”, an organization created by Hide My Ass!, helps kids believe in Santa. Parents receive free software from the organization that monitors all online search results and web pages that could tell kids the truth about the man who lives in the North Pole, by hiding any information that may suggest he doesn't exist.

However, there is still a higher possibility of the Internet now being the main cause of a child's belief in Santa ending, and it can also result in kids finding out sooner than for those born before the digital age.

'With this organization, we wanted to give parents a new tool that would allow them to keep the magic of Christmas and the mystery of Santa for that little bit longer,” Cian Mckenna-Charley, marketing director at Hide My Ass!.

【1】What does the underlined word “questioned” in paragraph 2 mean?

A. doubtedB. described

C. dismissedD. discouraged

【2】“Keep Believing in Santa" is created to .

A. make Santa Claus as real a man as possible

B. help parents keep the mystery of Santa Claus

C. tell stories about Santa Claus for younger kids

D. stop children from surfing the Internet too much

【3】Which statement does Cian Mckenna-Charley probably agree with?

A. Parents must clear their browser history.

B. Santa Claus always lives in the North Pole.

C. Christmas spirit can be kept a little bit longer.

D. Gifts are put by Santa under the Christmas tree.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A. Christmas is boring without Santa Claus.

B. Parents make efforts to protect Santa Claus.

C. The Internet is a new danger to Santa Claus.

D. Many children find the secret of Santa Claus

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】C

【4】C

【解析】

本文為說明文。父母擔心孩子們從互聯(lián)網知道圣誕老人不存在的真相。為了能把圣誕節(jié)的魔力和圣誕老人的神秘感保持得更久一點，他們創(chuàng)建了一個組織“Keep Believing in Santa”。

【1】猜測詞義題。根據(jù)第二段中劃線的“About 34 percent of children questioned Santa Claus after seeing ads online for gifts they had asked for in their letters to the North Pole (北極)”前后語境可知，44%的家長認為，孩子們上網搜索Santa時，讀了谷歌上有對圣誕老的的講解后，一些孩子們可能知道圣誕老人是“不存在”的危險。而且三分之一的孩子讀過后說圣誕老人是“不存在的”。由此可推斷出孩子上網之后對此不再相信，開始懷疑了。分析選項A. doubted懷疑；B. described 描寫；C. dismissed不予理解，拒絕接受；D. discouraged使氣餒， 使沮喪�？芍�A符合題意，故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“To keep Mr. Claus alive, “Keep Believing in Santa”, an organization created by Hide My Ass!, helps kids believe in Santa.”及最后一段的“With this organization, we wanted to give parents a new tool that would allow them to keep the magic of Christmas and the mystery of Santa for that little bit longer”可知，這個組織就是為了能把圣誕節(jié)的魔力和圣誕老人的神秘感保持得更久一點。分析選項可知B項符合題意。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“With this organization, we wanted to give parents a new tool that would allow them to keep the magic of Christmas and the mystery of Santa for that little bit longer,” Cian Mckenna-Charley可知，Cian Mckenna-Charley認為能把圣誕節(jié)的魔力和圣誕老人的神秘感保持得更久一點。分析選項可知C項符合題意，故選C。

【4】主旨大意題。本文主要敘述父母擔心孩子們從互聯(lián)網知道圣誕老人不存在的真相。本文的第一段“Years ago parents worried their children would learn the truth about Santa Claus(圣誕老人)from others, but now they have a new problem—the Internet”就是文章的主旨。由此可知，父母擔心網絡會讓孩子們知道圣誕老人的真相。分析選項可知C符合題意，故選C。

每篇文章都會有一個主旨要義。主旨要義型題范圍一般包括：短文標題、主題大意或段落大意等。此題型要求考生在理解文章后歸納文章要點，概括中心思想。考生需要分析文章的篇章結構，抓住文章的開頭或結尾，從而找出能概括文章的主題句。概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段開頭再看全文找主題句，若無明顯主題句，就通過關鍵詞句來概括。如第4小題就屬于主旨大意題中的概括主旨題。本文主要敘述父母擔心孩子們從互聯(lián)網知道圣誕老人不存在的真相。本文的第一段“Years ago parents worried their children would learn the truth about Santa Claus(圣誕老人)from others, but now they have a new problem—the Internet”就是文章的主旨。由此可知，父母擔心網絡會讓孩子們知道圣誕老人的真相。分析選項可知C符合題意，故選C

【題目】D

A buld-it-yourself solar still（蒸餾器） is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5’ 5’ sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container— perhaps just a drinking cup — to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.

To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher’s productivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up — and out — the side of the hole.

Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圓錐體) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.

The solar still works creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸發(fā)) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.

【1】What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?

A.It’s delicate. B.It’s expensive.

C.It’s complex. D.It’s portable

【2】What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A.The tube B.The still

C.The hole D.The cup

【3】What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?

A.Dig a hole of a certain size B.Put the cup in place

C.Weight the sheet’s center down D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet

【4】When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form .

A.the plastic tube B.outside the hole

C.the open air D.beneath the sheet

【題目】 Cruz Genet, 11, and Anthony Skopick, 10, couldn’t agree. Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese? There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends risked onto the frozen pond near their house in Frankfort, Illinois, to get a better look. First they threw a small stone to test it. Then they stepped on it. Believing the ice would hold their weight, Anthony took a few steps, then.... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice.

Cruz rushed to help his frightened friend—the pond “ate” him too. Gruz managed to lift himself out of the water and onto a more reliable part. He then carefully made his way to Anthony. But the ice didn’t hold, and he fell in again. This time he couldn’t get out. The boys quickly lost feeling in their arms and legs. Cruz was sure he was going to die.

Anthony’s older sister had seen the boys fall through the ice and started screaming for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby on his way to the grocery store, heard her. He quickly pulled over. Seeing the boys, he kicked off his shoes, and run into the freezing water. Lavin made his way to Cruz and Anthony and saved them back to land. They were taken to the hospital, where doctors discovered that their five-minute stay in the water had lowered their body temperature nearly ten degrees.

Fortunately, the boys have fully recovered, though they are still moved by their fearless neighbor. “Just to think,” says Gruz, “if he wasn’t there, I could have died.”

【1】Why did Gruz and Anthony step on the ice?

A. To go skating.B. To trap some birds.

C. To settle a disagreement.D. To test the strength of the ice.

【2】How did Cruz feel when caught in the water?

A. Hopeless.B. Puzzled.

C. Shocked.D. Calm.

【3】What basically saved the two boys’ lives?

A. Screaming of an older sister.B. Better care of doctors.

C. lowering of their body temperature.D. Brave act of a neighbor.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. Two Boys Falling in the WaterB. A Heroic Man to the Rescue

C. Duck or Geese, It Is a QuestionD. Curiosity Kills the Cat
