Ⅱ.[2018·武汉] 阅读理解
From a young age, I've had a really deep connection with being outside. I've been skiing since I was eight or nine years old. I've been on expeditions(探险) in many places like China, Pakistan and so on. But it was in my home country, the US, that I came closest to death.
It was April 1, 2011.I was skiing in the Tetons with my friends Jeremy and Xavier, both experienced snowboarders. That day, I was the last person to ski. They were watching me from a safe area. Suddenly, I heard someone cry loudly. I turned around and saw the whole mountain start to move behind me. It was a massive avalanche(大雪崩). The kind of avalanche that destroys(破坏) trees, cars, buses, even houses! Tens of thousands of tons of snow were coming straight down the mountain behind me. I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of metres, and then cover me. It was so heavy that I couldn't breathe. And then it pushed me forward again and up, out of the snowpack. I looked around, and for a few seconds I actually stopped being terrified(害怕的). I had a moment to pause(暂停) and to look at the power of the avalanche.
I looked down into the bottom of the valley(峡谷). I could see trees that were 30m tall, because I was so far away, they looked tiny to me. “OK, I'm going all the way to the bottom!” I thought. Then the snow pushed me again down the mountain another 450m. I thought the force of the snow would destroy me, it was powerful. But in the end, I felt the avalanche slow down and I just popped(迸出) right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley.
It took Jeremy and Xavier about 20 minutes to reach me. There was a pile of debris(碎片) across the bottom of the mountain 300m wide. They couldn't believe it when they saw me. I was so lucky.
Has the experience changed me? Do I think about life differently? I don't know, maybe. But I do know that it's important to live your life with meaning. Life is a gift, so use it wisely.

参考答案
Ⅰ.[主旨大意] 本文是一篇记叙文。讲述的是一个人独自穿越沙漠,开始时比较顺利,然而途中遭遇沙尘暴,最终凭借着一个梨存活下来的故事。
1.A 考查副词辨析。根据后文“Soon I'll be able to walk out of this desert”可知,旅程一直比较顺利。故选A。
2.C 考查介词辨析。be friendly to 意为“对……友好”,为固定搭配。故选C。
3.D 考查动词辨析。由前面提到的沙尘暴以及后文“with the clothes”可知,此处指是拿衣服遮盖住头。play意为“玩耍”;beat意为“敲打”;fill意为“填充”;cover意为“覆盖”。故选D。
4.B 考查动词辨析。前面提到沙尘暴来了,所以10分钟后,沙尘暴应该是停止了。故选B。
8
5.C 考查名词辨析。整个第二段都在描述沙尘暴来临后的场景,因而食物和水是被沙尘暴吹跑的。故选C。
6.B 考查形容词辨析。句意:众人周知,没有水和食物是几乎不可能走出沙漠的。故选B。
7.D 考查副词辨析。前文中提到食物和水都被吹跑了,这时发现还有一个梨,所以他是幸运的。故选D。
8.A 考查动词辨析。根据前文“Not too bad, at least I have a pear”可知,他在给自己鼓气加油,因而他相信他能走出去。故选A。
9.A 考查名词辨析。由前面的“hunger, thirst”以及后面“like ghosts”可知,困扰他的是对于死亡的恐惧。故选A。
10.D 考查连词辨析。空格后面有逗号,因而排除B和C。再根据前一句的害怕以及后一句的坚定可知,前后是转折关系。故选D。
11.C 考查动名词辨析。他一直保留着这个梨,把它视为希望。故选C。
12.A 考查名词辨析。 上文中提到每当失去希望的时候,他都要看一看这个梨。所以这个梨是他生存的希望。故选A。
13.D 考查连词辨析。根据后半句“he laughed with excitement”可知,一看到村庄就在前方,他欣喜若狂。用as soon as 表示“一……就……”。故选D。
14.C 考查名词辨析。根据前文可知,梨使他活着。bring sb. to life 表示“使某人活了下来”。故选C。
15.B 考查不定代词辨析。由后文“只有你尝试去搜寻了,总会发现有像这个梨一样带给你希望的东西,使你走出困难”再结合句中的never可知,不要告诉自己你一无所剩,所以用nothing。故选B。
Ⅱ.[主旨大意] 这是一篇是记叙文,讲了“我”从小就与外界有了很深的联系。我八九岁开始滑雪,去过很多地方探险。着重叙述了“我”在美国的一次离死亡最近的探险。2011年4月1日,“我”和朋友在蒂顿滑雪,遭遇到的大雪崩。“我”被雪覆盖、冲击,感受到了大雪崩的力量。“我”原以为大雪会伤害我,但是在峡谷底部,“我”从雪里弹出来了。“我”的朋友见到“我”的时候,简直无法相信这件事情。通过这次经历,“我”认为有意义的生活是重要的。
16.B 词义猜测题。根据上半句“I could see trees that were 30m tall”可知,they在此处指树。故选B。
17.D 推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“But it was…that I came closest to death.”和第二段第二句“I was skiing in the Tetons…”可知,作者在蒂顿滑雪的时候离死亡最近,所以A项错误。由第二段第十句“I felt the snow push me forward, hundreds of metres…”可知,大雪崩把作者推出数百米,所以B项错误。由第三段最后一句“…I just popped right out of the snow…”和第四段第一句“It took Jeremy and Xavier about…”可知,在谷底“我”
8
从雪里弹出来了,“我”的两个朋友用了20分钟的时间找到我,所以作者的朋友不是在谷底观看他,而是在谷底找到了他。因此C项错误。由第二段第十一句“It was so heavy that…”可知,雪太重了我无法呼吸。故选D。
18.B 细节理解题。由第三段最后一句“…I just popped right out of the snow at the bottom of the valley”可知,当作者被雪推到谷底的时候他被扔了出来。故选B。
19.C 主旨大意题。根据最后一段作者的感想可知,作者认为:过有意义的生活是重要的,生活是一份礼物,我们应该明智地运用它。所以,人不应该过没有意义的生活。故选C。
