Ⅰ.阅读理解

It's late fall and the Indians on a remote reservation(居住地) in South Dakota asked their new chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.

Since he was a chief in a modern society，he had never been taught the old secrets.When he looked at the sky，he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he told his tribe(部落) that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.

But, being a practical leader, after several days, he got an idea.He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked，“Is the coming winter going to be cold？”

“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold，” the meteorologist at the weather service responded.

So the chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.

A week later，he called the National Weather Service again，“Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter？”

“Yes，” the man at National Weather Service again replied，“it's going to be a very cold winter.”

The chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap(小块) of firewood they could find.

Two weeks later，the chief called the National Weather Service again，“Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold？”

“Absolutely，” the man replied.“It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters we've ever seen.”

“How can you be so sure？” the chief asked.

The weatherman replied，“The Indians are collecting a lot of firewood.”

(　　)1.When asked, why did the chief say it was going to be cold?

A．Because he knew something about the old secrets.

B．Because he had consulted the meteorologist.

C．Because he studied the sky carefully.

D．Because he thought being well prepared was better.

(　　)2.How many times did the chief call the National Weather Service?

A．Only once.　　 B．Three times.

C．Four times.　　 D．Five times.

(　　)3.Which word can describe the chief best?

A．Careless.　　 B．Patient.

C．Cautious.　　 D．Humorous.

【语篇解读】本文为一则幽默故事，讲述的是印第安部落为过冬做准备而造成的小误会。

1．D　推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可推知，首领为了安全起见(to be on the safe side)，说这个冬天会很冷，让他们早做准备。故首领的回答依据是有备无患，他自己并不知道这个即将来临的冬天是否会寒冷。

2．B　细节理解题。文章第三段、第六段和第九段都提到了他给National Weather Service打电话咨询天气情况，共三次。

3．C　推理判断题。首领为了安全起见让部落人员为寒冬做准备，并且多次咨询National Weather Service，由此可见他是个非常谨慎的人。

【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章作者通过自己成长过程中的亲身经历，教育自己的女儿，在开始尊重其他人之前，首先要学会尊重自己。

1．B　根据“When I was young，my understanding of life was simple.”可知，这让“我”更容易(easier)与周围的世界打交道。

2．D　根据“which made life more challenging”可知，随着“我”的长大，事情似乎变得更加复杂(complex)。

3．A　句意：现在，中年了，“我”发现“我”的世界观正在回归简单。view “观点”。

4．A　根据“One of those basics is __5__”可知，这里的意思是“我”试着教“我”女儿重要的基本生活知识(basics)。

5．C　根据“because you can't respect yourself for it”可知，这里指的是其中一个基本要素就是尊重(respect)。

6．D　根据“but not to have tried feels worse”可知，这里指的是“我”教“我的”女儿去尝试(try)。

7．A　句意：当然(certainly)，失败让人感觉很糟糕，但没有尝试让人感觉更糟，因为你无法因此尊重自己。

8．B　as the saying goes “俗话说”，是固定表达。

9．C　句意：有一个玩具是我一直特别想要的，于是我让它滑进(slipped)了我的口袋。

10．D　根据下文的“even at that age，that I would never enjoy playing with the toy”可知，此处表示“我感觉到”，所以此空填sensed。

11．B　根据上文的“I slipped it into my pocket.”可知，此处填stolen。

12．A　句意：“我”将永远知道“我”偷了东西，我对自己的看法也会受到损害。suffer “受损害”。

13．C　根据“and gave it back”可知，这里的意思是“我”羞愧地把玩具掏了(pulled)出来。

14．B　此处指作者偷拿玩具的错误，所以用mistake。

15．D　根据“far from it”可知，这里的意思是在这方面“我”并不完美(perfect)。
