Get the sock！” But she couldnt hear them.Meanwhile, a girl in lane two was gaining on Elizabeth.Just then, a girl on my daughters team jumped in the pool, grabbed the sock, swam after Elizabeth and put the sock on Elizabeth.With the sock finally on, Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters and won! There was much celebration.And, for a few minutes, Elizabeth was the hero.On the ride home, she relived her moment of glory again and again.She told me that if the Tshirt relay was an Olympic event, her team would win the gold medal, I told her that in my professional opinion, she was absolutely right.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】文章講述作者的女兒Elizabeth要參加游泳比賽，賽前很緊張，害怕游不好，但是比賽時(shí)，通過(guò)和隊(duì)友的共同努力贏得了比賽。4.

Whats the benefit of plants growing together?AIt provides owners good company.BIt helps the air around them slightly wet.CIt makes it convenient to look after them.DIt allows owners to draw a pleasant picture.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章中第三段中的“When plants are growing together, they create an atmosphere of damp around themselves which is far more beneficial than hot dry conditions.”可知B選項(xiàng)的描述與此一致?！敬鸢浮緽10. While watering the plants, what should we remember to do?AUse water that is a little warm.BPour the water into the pot holder.CGive small amount of water at one time.DConsider further watering in dry weather.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段中的“Cold slightly warm water is therefore the answer.”可知澆花的時(shí)候需要稍溫的水。故選A。【答案】A11. What is the best time to feed the plants?AWhen the soil is dry.BWhen their growth is active.CWhen the temperature is high.DWhen they have just been planted.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)對(duì)文章最后一段中“It is important, however, to ensure that plants are not fed when growth is inactive.”可反推過(guò)來(lái)，植物在它們生長(zhǎng)旺盛的期間，就是給它們澆灌施肥的最好時(shí)機(jī)，故選B?！敬鸢浮緽D(2016全國(guó)甲卷)Reading can be a social activity.Think of the people who belong to book groups.They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them.Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing，says，“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虛擬)The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了一個(gè)圖書(shū)漂流的網(wǎng)站，該網(wǎng)站鼓勵(lì)人們拿出自己的圖書(shū)與他人分享，如今超過(guò)135個(gè)國(guó)家的一百多萬(wàn)人成為該網(wǎng)站的會(huì)員。12Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?ATo explain what they are.BTo introduce BookCrossing.CTo stress the importance of reading.DTo encourage readers to share their ideas.【解析】推理判斷題。由題干定位到第一段，該段首先說(shuō)閱讀是一種社會(huì)性的活動(dòng)，然后談到讀書(shū)小組(book groups)，接下來(lái)說(shuō)到BookCrossing這個(gè)網(wǎng)站，說(shuō)該網(wǎng)站給傳統(tǒng)的讀書(shū)小組翻開(kāi)了新的一頁(yè)(turns the page on)，然后逐段介紹這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的做法，由此推斷，介紹讀書(shū)小組的目的是引出這個(gè)網(wǎng)站，因此選B項(xiàng)。A項(xiàng)“解釋它們的含義”，C項(xiàng)“強(qiáng)調(diào)閱讀的重要性”，D項(xiàng)“鼓勵(lì)讀者分享他們的觀點(diǎn)”，均不是作者提到讀書(shū)小組的目的，可排除。【答案】B13What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe book.BAn adventure.CA public place.DThe identification number.【解析】詞義猜測(cè)題。畫(huà)線詞在第二段，該段詳細(xì)介紹這個(gè)網(wǎng)站的具體做法：會(huì)員去網(wǎng)站登記自己愿意分享的書(shū)，網(wǎng)站給這本書(shū)一個(gè)身份編號(hào)并貼在書(shū)中，主人把書(shū)留在公共場(chǎng)所，希望這本書(shū)會(huì)跟“找到它的每個(gè)新讀者”一起旅行。由此可知代詞it指前文提到的the book。B項(xiàng)“一次冒險(xiǎn)”，C項(xiàng)“一處公共場(chǎng)所”，D項(xiàng)“身份編號(hào)”，均不是it所指的內(nèi)容?！敬鸢浮緼14What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?AMeet other readers to discuss it.BKeep it safe in his bookcase.CPass it on to another reader.DMail it back to its owner.【解析】推理判斷題。從題干中的after reading
