Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some years ago on a hot summer day in the south of Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming lake behind his house.
In a hurry to dive into the cool water，he ran out of the back door, leaving behind his shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(鳄鱼) was swimming toward him.
His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In extreme fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a Uturn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began an incredible tugofwar(拔河). The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate(感情强烈的). A farmer happened to drive by, took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. The newspaper asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his legs, then, with obvious pride，he said to the reporter，“But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.”
Never judge another person’s scars, because you don’t know how they were made.
1．From the second paragraph we can infer that ________.
A．a child shouldn’t swim in the water by himself
B．we’d better grasp some skills to defend ourselves
C．we should make enough preparations before diving into water
D．we are enjoying ourselves but don’t know the enemy is coming
2．The incredible tugofwar began between ________.
A．the boy and the alligator
B．the boy and the mother
C．the alligator and the mother
D．the alligator and the farmer
3．The underlined word “alarmed” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A．frightened B．wondered
C．confident D．disappointed
4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The alligator was killed by a hunter.
B．There’re scars both on the boy’s legs and arms.
C．The mother was quiet when seeing the alligator.
D．The mother won the “match” because of her strength.
go v. 去，离开，走
生义：v.(机器)运转，开动；(事情)进行，进展
My watch isn’t going.我的手表不走了。
The computer goes quite well.这台电脑运转很正常。
Everything goes well.一切进展顺利。

Ⅲ.1.C [句意为：今天下午我在市中心，我一直在那儿购物。这是一个主从复合句，the town centre之后跟了个非限制性定语从句，由句意分析，the town centre在从句中作地点状语，故应用where引导。]
2．B [burst into＋n.“突然……；闯入……”；burst out＋doing“突然……”；burst in“闯入”；burst upon＋n.“突然引人注目”。burst out laughing突然大笑起来。]
3．B [have trouble(in) doing sth.“做某事有困难”。]
4．C [句意为：我突然意识到我身上没钱了。remaining和left都可用作形容词，表示“剩下的”，但前者常作前置定语，left常作后置定语。故应选C，作后置定语修饰money。]
5．C [句意为：他感到女儿已足够成熟了，不想忽略她的意见。enough
作副词，要放在所修饰词之后；overlook忽视；overcome战胜，克服。由句意知应选C。]
6．C [考查so＋adj.＋that句式；而such＋a/an＋adj.＋n.＋that，如此……，以至于……。由句意知应选C。]
7．B [此句考查be doing...＋when...“正在干……这时……”。此时when不能与as，while互换。]
8．D [句意为：一位排队等了一段时间的怒气冲冲的男士挤上前来。make one’s way向……进发；fight one’s way奋斗前进；feel one’s way(黑暗中)摸索着前进。push one’s way挤过，通过；符合句意。]
9．C [句意为：王先生对她的回答感到奇怪，为了弄清楚，她问了她另外一个问题。clarify澄清，讲清楚符合句意。]
10．D [be amused by以……为乐；amusing好笑的，好玩的。]
Ⅳ.1.D [推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，当我们玩得高兴的时候，我们对即将到来的灾难浑然不知。]
2．C [细节理解题。通过这个小男孩得救的过程可以断定，所谓的拔河是在鳄鱼和妈妈之间进行的。故选C。]
3．A [词义猜测题。男孩在听到妈妈的喊声之后，感觉非常害怕，掉头向妈妈游去。frightened意为“受惊的”，符合语境。]
4．B [细节理解题。由第五段中的“The boy lifted his legs...I have great scars on my arms，too.”可知男孩腿和手臂都有伤疤。故选B。]
