第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered why.

“Look down, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of the village. And I saw the crisscross (十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the square. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. Earlier that day I had begged my mother to do something about the awful lunches that were served at school. But she refused because she could not believe the lunches were as bad as I said.

When I turned to Father for help, he would not interfere (干涉). Instead, he brought me to this high tower to give me a lesson. By the time we reached home, I had a plan.

At school the next day, I secretly poured my luncheon soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to serve it to Mother at dinner. The plan worked perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and sputtered, “ The cook must have gone mad！” Quickly I told what I had done, and Mother stated firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day!

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson Father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working until I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always remind me that there is more than one way to the square.

41. The author’s father took her to the top of a church tower to _____. A. enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole town B. find out how many ways lead to the square

C. inspire her to find out another way to solve her problem D. help her forget some unpleasant things earlier that day 42. What did the author want her mother to do earlier that day?

A. Do something delicious for lunch. B. Taste her awful lunch. C. Dismiss the mad cook. D. Speak to the school about lunch. 43. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph means _____. A. the cook agreed to serve the soup to Mother B. the matter of lunch was successfully settled C. her father persuaded her mother successfully D. the method the author thought of was effective

44. What did the author’s mother think of her luncheon soup after she tasted it? A. It was delicious. B. It wasn’t so bad as the author said. C. It couldn’t be worse. D. It was as good as her cook did . 45. By sharing her own experiences, the author tries to tell us ____.

A. when one road is blocked, try another B. how bad the lunch of her school is

C. how wise her father is D. about the church tower near her home

B

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature. Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods.

In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth. A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs (灯泡).

The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752. In the same year he also built the first lightning rod (避雷针). This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.

Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage (电压) of more than 15 million volts (伏特). A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.

Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year. Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year. In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day. The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car. Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under trees. Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences. Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.

With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 46. People once thought lightning came from ________.

A. the sky B. the gods C. the earth D. nature 47. According to the passage what do you think all buildings need?

A. Metal fences. B. Electricity. C. lightning rods. D. Machines. 48. Lightning can travel ________.

A. as quickly as water B. not so quickly as electricity C. at very low speed D. at very high speed 49. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. In the U.S about one person per day dies from lightning. B. The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning. C. Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea.

D. A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm. 50. Lightning is probably ______ to man.

A. useful B. kind C. useless D. friendly

C
