Question

【題目】Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously. Jason was determined not to go against their father’s wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother. He loves experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you’ve been playing with his new computer” Jason said, “He told us not to touch it.”

“He won’t find out,” Mark said, “I’ll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father’s equipment. But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange-looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked. “It’s an experimental model,” his father had explained, so don’t touch it under any circumstances.” But his father’s warning only served to make Mark more curious. Without any further thought, Mark turned on the power switch. The computer burst into life and seconds later, the screen turned into colours, shifting and changing, and then two big white words appeared in the centre of the screen: “SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes!” Mark cried excitedly, “It’s a computer game. I knew it! Dad’s only been pretending to work. He’s really been playing games instead!” A new message appeared on the screen:

“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGE�。�

VOYAGE�。�

Mark’s finger flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.

START TRANSPORT PROGRAM.

The screen turn even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we’d better shut it off, Mark,” Jason yelled out in terror, reaching for the power switch. A beam(光束) of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen, wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing. Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life. And the boys were no longer there. On the screen, the letters changed：

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL．

DESTINATION: MARS.

RETRIEVE DATE: 2025

【解析】

試題Mark 喜歡實驗，他的目標是成為像他父親那樣的科學家。 他抵擋不住電腦的誘惑，背著父親打開了電腦，不可思議的事情發(fā)生了。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句“But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.(但是他的好奇心難以遏制，因為這臺新的電腦真的讓他感到困惑。)”，可知答案為C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段的第一句話“It was a strange -looking machine — one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.(看，這是一臺很奇怪的機器—— 他爸爸從他工作的實驗室里帶回家的。)”，并且由本句中的laboratory可以得知答案選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Mark 說的It’s a computer game�？芍�，他認為他父親是假裝在工作，實際上是在玩游戲。所以選A。

【4】詞意猜測題。文中提供了很清楚的信息為倒數(shù)第三段“He was really frightened.”“他真的非常害怕”，但無法立即確定正確答案；由倒數(shù)第四段“The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.” “屏幕變得更亮，一個噪音音量突然增大”，可知道“可能發(fā)生危險的事情”。和D項意思符合。

【5】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后兩句的意思是，男孩子不在電腦前了，而屏幕上顯示他們被送上了火星。故選B。
