[对应知能达标训练P5] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica，she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins(企鹅) longing to say hello.These gentle，lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget. Ever since her childhood，Ginni，now 71，has had a deep love for travel.Throughout her career(职业)as a professional dancer，she toured in the UK，but always longed to explore further.When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest，she decided it was time to take the plunge． After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts，Ginni began to travel the world，eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile.And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego，the southernmost tip of the South American mainland.“I just decided I wanted to go，”she says.“I had no idea about what I'd find there and I wasn't nervous，I just wanted to do it.And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.” In March 2008，Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she'd never met before，to begin the journey towards Antarctica.“From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises，the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has，”Ginni says.“I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us.You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.” The realization that this is a precious land，to be respected by humans，was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni. [解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍71岁的Ginni Bazlinton终生难忘的南极洲之旅。 1．Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2? A．Try challenging things. B．Take a degree. C．Bring back lost memories. D．Stick to a promise. 解析　A　词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词前“Throughout her career as a professional dancer，she toured in the UK，but always longed to explore further.(在她的职业舞蹈演员生涯中，她曾在英国巡演，但一直渴望进一步探索。)”和“When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest(当她不再跳舞，她的儿子们最终独立生活)”可知，Ginni在退休和儿子们成家立业之后，她决定尝试有挑战性的事情。所以画线词take the plunge与try challenging things“尝试有挑战性的事情”意思接近。故选A。 2．What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica? A．Lovely penguins. B．Beautiful scenery. C．A discount fare. D．A friend's invitation. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第三段“And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego(正是在智利，她发现自己可以在最后一刻买到从火地岛附近岛屿前往南极洲的廉价船票)”可知，是折扣票价让Ginni决定去南极洲旅行的。故选C。 3．What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey? A．It could be a home for her. B．It should be easily accessible. C．It should be well preserved. D．It needs to be fully introduced. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，旅行结束后，Ginni认为南极洲应该得到很好的保护。故选C。 4．What is the text mainly about? A．A childhood dream. B．An unforgettable experience. C．Sailing around the world. D．Meeting animals in Antarctica. 解析　B　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了Ginni Bazlinton去南极洲旅行的经历，再根据倒数第二段中Ginni Bazlinton对南极洲之旅的评价“the whole experience was amazing.Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has”可知，去南极洲旅行让她非常难忘。故选B。 B Dust storms don't just happen in the middle of the desert.They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up.The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours.Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara desert is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps traveling as far as the Caribbean. The scary thing about dust storms is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10，000 feet (305 meters).They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles per hour (40 kilometers).Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding. Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way.Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust.The dust makes driving impossible.Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind.If you're in a car during a dust storm，remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights. In mild (轻微的) dust storms it's still possible to walk around although you wouldn't want to.You can't see anything because of the dust particles flying around.It's not just the dust you want to avoid.The wind carrying the dust will leave things looking like they were just hit by a tornado (龙卷风).The best thing to do is find safe cover in a building. [解题导语]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了沙尘暴发生的地点、特征和遭遇沙尘暴时的一些注意事项。 5．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．Dust storms mostly happen in the desert. B．Dust storms usually last for a few hours. C．Sand blown into the air can float for a few weeks. D．Dust blown into the air can travel a long distance. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Smaller bits of particles stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara desert is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps traveling as far as the Caribbean”可知，沙尘暴发生时，被风吹到空中的尘埃可以“远走高飞”到很远的地方。 6．What does the second paragraph talk about? A．The movement of dust. B．The speed of the wind. C．The power of dust storms. D．The harm of dust storms. 解析　C　主旨大意题。根据第二段第一句可知，沙尘暴让人感到可怕的是它可以到达的范围和高度。第二句和第三句又说明了沙尘暴发生时，风的速度之大。因此这段主要是讲沙尘暴的威力。 7．What should a driver do if he is caught in a dust storm? A．Slow down. B．Move to the side of the road and stop. C．Turn on the headlights. D．Drive on the side of the road. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“...remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights”可知选B。pull over意为“停靠路边”。 8．If the dust storm is not strong， ． A．people can see something clearly B．the wind is light C．people need to walk around D．people still should take cover 解析　D　细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The best thing to do is find safe cover in a building”可知，即使遇到的沙尘暴不太强烈，最好的办法还是找到躲避处。 Ⅱ.完形填空 In the city I live in，we have a local national park full of trees.I am thankful for that place，although I do wish it was bigger.One day I was looking around and climbing by a track，when I saw a beautiful tarantula (狼蛛) crossing a path.I just stopped and decided to 1 carefully its walking nature.
