【題目】I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷獵者）months before.

Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

【1】 While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.

A. knew the elephant was injured

B. found the elephant acted violently

C. tried their best to save the elephant

D. thought the elephant was in good condition

【2】 Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.

A. had suffered an hour or two

B. was killed by a poisonous needle

C. had suffered a lot

D. had had a good fight with a poacher

【3】 How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?

A. empty. B. comfortable.

C. upset. D. relieved.

【4】 Why did the author write the text?

A. To introduce African elephant.

B. To show the cruelty of poaching.

C. To describe his filming experience.

D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】C

【4】D

【解析】

試題分析：作者通過親眼所見告訴我們獵殺者殘忍殺害大象的行為，對此表示心痛，呼吁人們保護動物。

【1】D細節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)第一段A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.可知作者和他的團隊都認為大象很正常，狀態(tài)很好。所以下文用了suddenly fell down，表示吃驚。故選D.

【2】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.可知如果大象中毒不立刻死亡，毒會慢慢發(fā)作許多天，最后直至死亡。這期間大象會遭受很大痛苦。故選C.

【3】C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground.和I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.可知作者看到大象被殘忍獵殺感到不安、心痛和惋惜。故選C.

【4】D寫作意圖題。通過文章內(nèi)容可看出作者對殘忍的獵殺者表示痛恨，對他們的行為表示心痛，所以寫文章呼吁人們保護動物。

【題目】When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票經(jīng)紀人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago？”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly, “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

【1】Why was the author’s mother poorly served?

A. She was not very polite.

B. She was often misunderstood.

C. She was not clearly heard.

D. She was unable to speak good English.

【2】From paragraph 2, we know that the author was .

A. good at pretending

B. unwilling to phone for her mother

C. rude to the stockbroker

D. ready to help her mother

【3】After the author made the phone call, .

A. they failed to get the check

B. they went to New York immediately

C. they forgave the stockbroker

D. they spoke to their boss at once

【4】What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

A. It helps her understand the world.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her tolerate rude people.

D. It confuses her.
