One day, Raul was miles away from the small ranch(牧場) house in a large valley.   36

seemed to be all right, yet he felt strange and somewhat uneasy. The wind had picked up, and angry, dark clouds   37  across the sky. He could smell the rain coming. And it did.  38  ,the lightning flashed through the clouds, nearly   39    Raul. The thunder(雷聲) was so loud that he buried his  40   in his hands and rubbed his eyes. Then he heard it. Hoof beats(蹄聲).He   41  .There before him stood a tall, white   42  . An old man stared down at him from its back.

      “Wh-wh-who are y-y-you?” asked Raul. “My name is Gray Cloud,” the old man answered   43  .“Come with me.”

      Raul followed on his horse. A   44   feeling came over him. All    45    them the rain was pouring down,  46    not a drop fell on them. They seemed to be  47   back toward Raul’s home. Raul lost track of time. Then all at once he found  48  at the ranch gate. The old man turned his horse,  49  his hand, and smiled. Lightning flashed again. The old man and his horse were  50 .

Raul’s father ran out across the yard  to   51  him. “we have been  52  sick about you. Are you okay? Hurry. Let’s get in out of the  53  .”

   “Wait,” said Raul. “Have you ever heard of an old man called Gray Cloud?”

   “Can’t say I … wait. I  54  my great-grandfather used to tell storied about a man called Gray Cloud. He died a long time ago. They say he was  55  by lightning during a terrible thunderstorm. Why do you ask?”

解析:

36.B.根據(jù)下文yet he felt strange and somewhat uneasy可以看出,應(yīng)該是“一切正!。Anything主要用于否定句和條件句。

37。C.注意句子是dark clouds, 習(xí)慣上應(yīng)該是“烏云滾滾”,以及后面的across the sky.

38.A.根據(jù)含義,閃電應(yīng)該是突然發(fā)生的。

39.B.根據(jù)句意“閃電差點是他失明”。

40.D.根據(jù)上下文以及生活常識。Bury one’s head in his hands 意思是“手護(hù)著頭”。

41.A.根據(jù)上文He buried his head in his hands以及下文There before him stood a tall, white…來看,他必須“抬起頭”才可以“看見”的。

42.B.根據(jù)下文Raul followed on his horse可以看出答案。

43.D. 根據(jù)下文含義,老人是來幫助他的,而A 是貶義,B,C不符合下文老人的意圖。

44.C.根據(jù)下文“周圍瓢潑大雨,而他身上一滴雨也沒有”,所以這種感覺應(yīng)該是“奇怪”。

45.A.此題有一點巧妙。也是生活的一個常識問題,人在雨中,應(yīng)該是“四周”都是雨。

46.A.注意上下文是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,yet然而。

47.C.head back(towards)朝回走。選項A,事實上他們自己并沒有“走路”。Return 一般為return to /from.

48.D.根據(jù)下文,應(yīng)該是“他”到家了。如選C,就會指代不明,造成誤解。

49.B.wave one’s hand 揮手(告別/致意);hold hands 手拉手。

50.A.gone adj,常作表語。表示“不見,消失”,主要指“看不見了”;lost 表示“丟失”,一般是在指再也找不到了;另外missing意思是“迷路,丟失(可以找回來的),不見了”;left 留下,剩下;follow 跟隨,在…后發(fā)生。

51.B.meet “接,迎接,會面”。其他含義不相符。

52.C.大雨天,孩子一直沒有回家,父母肯定是“著急,擔(dān)心”,而且后面有介詞about.

53. D. 注意get in 和out of,顯然是“離開雨”進(jìn)入“屋子”。一般說來下雨天我們是“躲雨”,而且文章上下文主要強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“瓢潑大雨”。

54.A.根據(jù)文章含義可以得出正確答案。

55.D.根據(jù)上下文考查動詞詞義辨別。

I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.

San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.

Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.

The writer ___ .

A. was born in San Francisco      B. likes living in London

C. is living in New York now      D. doesn't like America

The writer didn't go to school in America because ___ .

A. his mother wanted him to go to school in English

B. his parents didn't think formal education was right for him

C. his mother wanted him to play outdoors in the parks

D. he couldn't get on well with the other children

Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The writer was taught by his mother and other teachers.

B. The writer had no education at all.

C. The writer didn't have lessons every day.

D. The writer walked to the park to learn languages once a week.

The writer got the little toy train at last because ___ .

A. his mother gave him the money

B. he tried his best to read music

C. he wanted it very much

D. his mother was pleased with his progress

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people.Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them. Once spent one year in the University of Wisconsin-Madison, then he left for Chicago and started to learn from Louis Sullivan, the “father of modernism." Wright’ s splendid resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
