Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot gave up (放弃) and caught a parachute (降落伞). He yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and he himself bailed out. Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said “I’m a doctor, I save lives, so I must live,” and jumped out. The lawyer then said, “I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live.” He also grabbed a parachute and jumped. The priest looked at the little boy and said, “My son, I’ve lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace.” The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, “Not to worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just took off with my backpack.” 26. How many people are there on the plane? ________ A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6. 27. The underlined word “priest” in the paragraph 1 probably means ________. A. a man who lives a long and full life B. a man who performs religious duties in church C. a man who has a little son D. a man who worries too much 28. Who may die in the end? ________ A. The doctor. B. The lawyer. C. The little boy. D. The priest. 【答案】26. C 27. B 28. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述在飞机上只剩下3个降落伞时，医生和律师都各取了一把，牧师把伞让给男孩，小男孩却说“世上最聪明的人——律师”跳下去时拿的是他的背包。故事告诉我们：我们应该时刻做个好人，这与我们做什么工作是没有关系的。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy and a  priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane.”及“He yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and he himself bailed out.”可知，飞机上一共有5个人。故选C。 【27题详解】 词义猜测题。结合倒数第二段中priest说话可知，在关键时刻他展现出了无私和牺牲的精神，他选择将最后一个降落伞让给小男孩，自己则可能面临危险。这种行为符合宗教人物（特别是牧师）通常被赋予的崇高道德和牺牲精神的形象。所以priest的意思是“牧师”。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中小男孩说的话“Not to worry, Father. The smartest man in the world just took off with my backpack.”可知，小男孩说最聪明的那个人拿走的是他的背包，所以最后还剩下两个降落伞。再结合第四段中律师说的话“I’m a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world.”可知，是律师拿走了小男孩的背包，所以他会死掉。故选B。 For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse. Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 29. Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography? A. It was too expensive. B. He had no interest in it. C. He was not very creative. D. It was not offered that term. 30. The underlined expression “catch his eye” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A. make him excited B. cause him surprise C. get his attention D. help him see clearly 31. Which of the following best describes Lin’s interest in cooking? A. It only lasted for a short time. B. It seemed to match his character. C. It was forced on him by his parents. D. It developed slowly over many months. 32. Why did the father have doubts about Lin’s choice of cooking? A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn’t very convenient. C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy. 【答案】29. A 30. C 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文， 讲述了林在11岁生日时，父母让他选择任何自己感兴趣的东西作为生日礼物，结果他选择了做饭作为爱好，并一直坚持到了现在，成功地经营着一家餐厅。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据“He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. ”可知他没有选择摄影的原因是因为相机很贵。故选A。 【30题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“The next course to catch his eye was ‘’Language Art. He didn’t even know what that meant.”可知他注意到了这个课程，也就是吸引了他的注意力。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Then he saw it. Cooking‘’ sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.”可知做饭听起来可能是他想做的事，可能符合他的性格。故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed.”以及第二段描述可知林的爱好没有持续性，爸爸对林的爱好持怀疑态度。故选C。 Shirley Jane Temple was the leading child actor of her time, receiving a special Oscar and acting the leading role in films like Bright Eyes and Heidi.

On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year. To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide. Lin’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse. Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again. Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 29. Why didn’t Lin choose to study photography? A. It was too expensive. B. He had no interest in it. C. He was not very creative. D. It was not offered that term. 30. The underlined expression “catch his eye” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A. make him excited B. cause him surprise C. get his attention D. help him see clearly 31. Which of the following best describes Lin’s interest in cooking? A. It only lasted for a short time. B. It seemed to match his character. C. It was forced on him by his parents. D. It developed slowly over many months. 32. Why did the father have doubts about Lin’s choice of cooking? A. Lin wasn’t good at cooking. B. Cooking wasn’t very convenient. C. He didn’t think Lin would continue. D. Cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy.
