Question

Isn’t it cool to surf (沖浪) in summer? You catch a wave and enjoy the ride. Surfing is not only our favorite sport, though. A group of penguins (企鵝) enjoy the sport as much as we do. And they show their excitement and skills in the new animated film —Surf`s Up, which came out on June 6, in the US.

    Cody loves the sport. Cody’s idol (偶像) is Big Z, a great penguin surfing king. Cody doesn’t like his brother and his mother who are not supportive. He really wants to get away. Cody believes that winning a surfing competition will bring him admiration and respect. When Mikey Abromowitz, a talent scout (偵察員), comes to Antarctica to look for talented penguins for a surfing competition, Cody’s really excited, but during his show there are no waves and he doesn’t make it. But he knows he can’t give up. He runs after Mikey’s whale and begs until Mikey agrees to take him.

    There Cody meets Lani, the island’s beautiful lifeguard, as well as his main rival (對(duì)手), the surfing champion Evans. The cocky Evans shows no respect for Big Z, which makes Cody angry. For this, he challenges Evans to a surfing match, only to suffer a terrible defeat.

    Lani takes Cody to the island doctor. As they spend time together, Cody realizes that this doctor is really Big Z himself. When he learns this, Cody begs him to train him and make him a better surfer.

    Cody begins to find his own way. Cody improves his skills with the help of Big Z and discovers that a true winner isn’t always the one who comes in first.

試題分析：本文介紹了一部最新上映的動(dòng)畫(huà)片———沖浪企鵝。故事的主人公是立志成為沖浪高手的企鵝小考迪。雖然歷經(jīng)多次的挫折失敗，然而小考迪堅(jiān)持不放棄，他一往無(wú)前的決心打動(dòng)了尋找沖浪手的經(jīng)紀(jì)人長(zhǎng)腿鳥(niǎo)，此人將考迪一步步帶入了正式的世界級(jí)的沖浪比賽。經(jīng)過(guò)不懈的努力小考迪的沖浪事業(yè)迎來(lái)了全新的轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)，最終走上了成功的道路。

1.C主旨大意題。文章以設(shè)問(wèn)的方式引出話題“the new animated film —Surf`s Up, which came out on June 6, in the US.”然后介紹了電影的內(nèi)容情節(jié)，所以本文內(nèi)容就是介紹這部電影，故C選項(xiàng)正確。

2.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章末段Cody improves his skills with the help of Big Z可知B選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容錯(cuò)誤，所以B選項(xiàng)正確。

3.C詞義猜測(cè)題。從上文there are no waves可知沖浪運(yùn)動(dòng)沒(méi)有浪頭，沒(méi)辦法展示技能技巧，而且下文的轉(zhuǎn)折But he knows he can’t give up. 暗含的意思是也他沒(méi)有取得成功，所以C選項(xiàng)正確。

4.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從文章第二段Cody doesn’t like his brother and his mother who are not supportive.可知C選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容錯(cuò)誤，故正確答案為C。
