I burst into tears.”可知在Marino準(zhǔn)備自殺的時(shí)候,一只小貓從灌木叢走出來(lái)蹭他的腿,讓他撫摸自己。這讓他又活了過(guò)來(lái)并哭了。由此可以推斷小貓的出現(xiàn)給了他生活的希望,他因此而哭泣。故選B。 (3)考查主旨大意。本文講述了小貓的出現(xiàn)給了想要自殺的退伍軍人Marino生活的希望,拯救了Marino, C項(xiàng)(士兵與小貓之間的救贖)最能體現(xiàn)本文大意,故選C。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇故事類(lèi)閱讀,要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 On Wednesday, January 13th, I performed on stage for the first time. As someone who takes part in so many activities, it39。s extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a onceinalifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project. Auditions (試鏡)came first. They weren39。t particularly difficult, more to see who may be a better fit tor certain roles. We were told our roles in the various plays, and started to work immediately. I was unsure of how I was as an actor, and I had to learn a lot fast: actions, my place in the story, my reactions, and countless other small details... As I began to improve as an actor, I was able to understand my characters better. My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate in a play called The Spot. He39。s a shorttempered guy who says what he wants and takes what he wants to assist his candidate in today39。s tough political races. He39。s on the set of The Spot, an advertisement for the candidate, to make sure everything runs smoothly and that any problems are dealt with quickly and efficiently. While I had really interesting characters, and the plays were funny and such a great experience to act in, I really love the Senior Play Project for the people. I worked with 12 other seniors who not only loved what they were doing, but offered help and advice throughout my entire learning process. Between the lights, sounds, costume and makeup, and plenty more, theatre is a team sport just like basketball or baseball. There are no small parts。 there is no one who isn39。t needed. I39。ve learned to appreciate live theatre, and the effort that every person in the show, both onstage and offstage, puts into it.(1)How did the author feel about being in the project? A.Lucky.B.Tired.C.Nervous.D.Confident.(2)What do we know about the character Roger? A.He means what he says.B.He puts up an advertisement.C.He gives advice to the candidate.D.He is running for president.(3)What does the author like most about the project? A.The people.B.The plays.C.The characters.D.The costume.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text? A.The Senior Play Project.B.Acting for the First Time.C.What Makes a Good Actor.D.A Lesson Learnt through Acting.【答案】 (1)A(2)C(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,作者講述了第一次登臺(tái)表演的經(jīng)歷。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“As someone who takes part in so many activities, it39。s extremely difficult to find the time to be a part of any production. For me, it was a onceinalifetime opportunity to try acting through the Senior Play Project. ”對(duì)作者來(lái)說(shuō),這是一個(gè)千載難逢的機(jī)會(huì),來(lái)嘗試表演,從而可以推斷出,作者對(duì)于參加這個(gè)項(xiàng)目感到非常幸運(yùn)。故選A。 (2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“My first character is a man named Roger who is a senior advisor to a presidential candidate
