(2019鎮(zhèn)江一模)No one knew Prince Edward Street as well as Pierre Dupin.He had delivered milk to the families on the street for thirty years.For the past fifteen years a large white horse named Joseph pulled his milk wagon.Joseph was a gentle horse with beautiful
2、 spirit shining out of its eyes, so Pierre named him after Saint Joseph.
Every morning at five, Pierre arrived at the milk companys stables to find Joseph waiting for him, Pierre would call, “Good morning, my old friend.”， as he climbed into his seat, while Joseph turned his head toward the driver.
3、And the two would go proudly down the street.Without any order from Pierre, the wagon would roll down three streets.Then it turned right for two streets, before turning left to Saint Catherine Street.The horse finally stopped at the first house on Prince Edward Street.There, Joseph would wait perhap
4、s thirty seconds for Pierre to get down off his seat and put a bottle of milk at the front door.
Pierre knew every one of the forty families that got milk.The cooks knew that Pierre could not read or write; so, instead of leaving orders in an empty milk bottle, they simply sang out if they needed a
5、n extra bottle.
Pierre also had a wonderful memory.When he arrived at the stable he always remembered to tell Jacques, the foreman (領(lǐng)班) of the stables, “The Pacquins took an extra bottle this morning; the Lemoines bought a pint of cream ... ” Most of the drivers had to make out the weekly bills and
6、 collect the money.But Jacques, liking Pierre, never asked him to do this.
One day the president of the milk company came to inspect the early morning milk deliveries.Jacques pointed to Pierre and said：“See how the horse listens and how he turns his head toward Pierre? See the look in that horses e
7、yes? You know, I think those two share a secret.I have often felt it.He is getting old.Maybe he ought to be given a rest, and a small pension.”
“But of course，” the president laughed.“He has been on this job now for thirty years.All who know him love him.Tell him it is time he rested.He will get hi
8、s pay every week as before.”
But Pierre refused to leave his job.He said his life would be nothing if he could not drive Joseph every day.“We are two old men，” he said to Jacques.“Let us wear out together.When Joseph is ready to leave, then I too will do so.”
Then one cold morning Jacques had terr
9、ible news for Pierre.Jacques said，“Pierre, your horse, Joseph, didnt wake up.He was very old, Pierre.” Jacques said softly.“He is over in his stall, looking very peaceful.Go over and see him.” Pierre took one step forward, then turned.“No ... no ... I cannot see Joseph again.You ... , you dont und
10、erstand, Jacques.”
For years Pierre had worn a large heavy cap that came down low over his eyes.It kept out the bitter cold wind.Now,_Jacques_looked_into_Pierres_eyes_and_he_saw_something_that_shocked_him.He_saw_a_dead,_lifeless_look_in_them.
“Take the day off, Pierre，” Jacques said.Pierre walked
11、to the corner and stepped into the street.There was a warning shout from the driver of a big truck ... there was the screech (尖銳的剎車聲) of rubber tires as the truck tried to stop.But Pierre heard nothing.
Five minutes later a doctor said, “Hes dead ... , killed instantly.”
“I couldnt help it，” the t
12、ruck driver said.“He walked in front of my truck.He never saw it, I guess.Why, he walked as though he were blind.”
The doctor bent down.“Blind？Of course, this man has been blind for five years.”He turned to Jacques, “Didnt you know he was blind？”
“No ... no ... ” Jacques said softly.“None of us kn
13、ew.Only one ... only one knew — a friend of his, named Joseph ... It was a secret, I think, just between those two.”
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文主要描述了Pierre和他的馬之間的故事。Pierre瞎了5年，仍然每天由他的馬帶著他去給村民送奶，但是大家都不知道這個(gè)秘密。
1．According to the first three paragraphs, we can know that ________.
A．Joseph was named after an unknown ma
14、n
B．Pierre knew all the small streets in the city better than anyone else
C．Joseph managed to deliver milk by itself even without Pierres company
D．Pierre and Joseph seemed to understand each other and cooperated very well
解析：選D 推理判斷題。前三段中我們可以很明顯的看到不需要主人Pierre Dupin的口令，Joseph也知道他們要去的地方。所以他們的配合非常
15、的默契，合作得很好。
2．Why did Pierre refuse to leave his job?
A．He thought he was not old enough to retire.
B．The pension was too small to support his life.
C．He was unwilling to be separated from Joseph.
D．He wanted to get promoted to foreman.
解析：選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段第二句“He said his life would be nothing if
16、he could not drive Joseph every day.”可知，他不肯離職是因?yàn)樗辉敢夂蚃oseph分開(kāi)。
3．Which of the following can best describe Pierre?
A．wellreceived and trustworthy
B．cruel and greedy
C．sensitive and humorous
D．creative and enthusiastic
解析：選A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容，特別是第六段的第二句“He has been on this job now for thirty years.A
17、ll who know him love him.”以及Pierre對(duì)待老同事的態(tài)度可以看出Pierre是一個(gè)受歡迎，值得信任的人。
4．The underlined sentences imply that ________.
A．Jacques had known the fact that Pierre was blind for a long time
B．the death of Joseph drove Pierre to despair of life
C．Pierre wanted to commit suicide because of his blindness
18、
D．Jacques was afraid to see Pierres empty eyes
解析：選B 句意理解題。根據(jù)畫線的這個(gè)句子的內(nèi)容可知聽(tīng)到Joseph的死訊之后，別人從Pierre的眼睛里看到了死亡和沒(méi)有生命，所以約瑟夫的死使皮埃爾對(duì)生活感到絕望。
5．Which of the following does NOT indicate Pierres blindness?
A．Pierre knew every one of the forty families that got milk.
B．You know, I think those two share a sec
19、ret.I have often felt it.
C．I cannot see Joseph again.You dont understand, Jacques.
D．For years Pierre had worn a large heavy cap that came down low over his eyes.
解析：選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。選項(xiàng)B、C、D中都有明顯的表明Pierre是盲人的詞匯，比如：I have often felt it；I cannot see Joseph again；a large heavy cap that came down low over h
20、is eyes。所以只能選A。
6．What is the best title for the passage?
A．A caring friend
B．A caring milk company
C．A secret of a horse
D．A secret for two
解析：選D 標(biāo)題歸納題。通篇文章主要描寫了Pierre和他的馬Joseph每天形影不離，一起送牛奶，他們之間很默契。文章的最后寫到馬突然死了，Pierre也失去了生存的動(dòng)力，后來(lái)在馬路上被汽車撞死了。Pierre死了之后，周圍的人才知道他已經(jīng)瞎了5年。而Pierre瞎了這個(gè)秘密只有他和他的馬知道，所以用“
21、A secret for two”作為文章的標(biāo)題比較合適。
B
(2019無(wú)錫一模)Stars blazed (猛烈地燃燒) in the sky above Spook like a million tiny suns.They shone through the mists, which had — during the last year — become thinner and weaker.At first, he had thought the world itself was changing.Then he had realized that it was just his
22、 feeling.Somehow, by burning tin in his body for so long, he had permanently strengthened his senses to a point far beyond what other Allomancers could attain.
The burned tin had begun as a reaction to Clubss death.Spook still felt terrible about the way hed escaped, leaving his uncle to die.During
23、 those first few weeks, Spook had burned his metals as almost a selfpunishment — hed wanted to feel everything around him, take it all in, even though it was painful, or perhaps because it was painful.
But then hed started to change, and that had worried him.But, the crew always talked about how ha
24、rd Vin pushed herself.She rarely slept, using pewter (白镴) to keep herself awake and alert.Spook didnt know how that worked — he was no Mistborn, and could only burn one metal — but he figured that if burning his one metal could give him an advantage, hed better take it, because they were going to ne
25、ed every advantage they could get.
The starlight was like daylight to him.During the actual day, he had to wear a cloth tied across his eyes to protect them, and even then going outside was sometimes blinding.His skin had become so sensitive that each little stone in the ground felt like a knife ja
26、bbing (猛刺) him through the bottom of his feet.The cold spring air seemed freezing, and he wore a thick cloak (斗篷)．
However, he had concluded that these discomforts were small prices to pay for the opportunity to become — whatever it was he had become.As he moved down the street, he could hear peopl
27、e turning over and over in their beds, even through their walls.He could sense a footstep from yards away.He could see on a dark night as no other human ever had.
__①__ Always before, hed been the least important member of the crew — the dismissible boy who served as a handy man or kept watch while
28、 the others made plans.He didnt feel annoyed with them for that — theyd been right to give him such simple duties.__②__ Because of his street dialect, hed been difficult to understand, and while all the other members of the crew had been carefully picked, Spook had joined through the back door since
29、 he was Clubss nephew.
Spook sighed, sticking his hands in his trouser pockets as he walked down the toobright street.He could feel each and every thread of the cloth.
Dangerous things were happening, he knew that: the way the mists lasted longer during the day, the way the ground shook as if it w
30、ere a sleeping man, periodically (周期性地) suffering a terrible dream.Spook worried he wouldnt be of much help in the critical days to come.A little over a year before, his uncle had died after Spook fled the city.Spook had run out of fear, but also out of a knowledge of his lack of power.__③__ He woul
31、dnt have been able to help during the campaign.
He didnt want to be in that position again.He wanted to be able to help, somehow.He wouldnt run into the woods, hiding while the world ended around him.He was sent to gather as much information as he could about the Citizen and his government there, a
32、nd so Spook intended to do his best.If that meant pushing his body beyond what was safe, so be it.
He approached a large crossing.He looked both ways down the intersecting (交叉的) streets — the view clear as day to his eyes.“I may not be Mistborn, and I may not be emperor，” he thought.“But Im somethi
33、ng.Something new.Something people would be proud of.Maybe this time I can help.”__④__
語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文主要介紹了小說(shuō)的主人公Spook在失去了家園之后，為了能夠重新收回家園而拼搏的故事。
7．What is the real “change” according to Paragraph 1?
A．The thinner and weaker mists.
B．The changing world.
C．Spooks sensitive feeling.
D．Allomancers strength
34、ened senses.
解析：選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第三句“At first, he had thought the world itself was changing.Then he had realized that it was just his feeling.”可知，不是世界變了，真正變了的是他自己的情感。
8．Why on earth did Spook start burning tin?
A．To make himself strong.
B．To erase an emotional debt.
C．To show his honor to Vin.
D．
35、To feel pain of his uncle.
解析：選B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)題中關(guān)鍵詞start burning tin定位到文中第二段，其中“Spook still felt terrible about the way hed escaped, leaving his uncle to die.”以及下一句“Spook had burned his metals as almost a selfpunishment”可知，Spook為自己的逃離感到難過(guò)，將燃燒錫看作自我懲罰，這樣做是為了減輕情感上的負(fù)罪感。
9．What does the example of Vin serve
36、 as in Paragraph 3?
A．A reminder of Spooks own pain.
B．An encouragement to Spooks persistence.
C．A comparison for Spooks burning metal.
D．An implication of Spooks own change.
解析：選B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的第一、二句“But then hed started to change, and that had worried him.But, the crew always talked about how h
37、ard Vin pushed herself.”可知，他開(kāi)始改變，但是這讓他憂慮，但是大家卻總是在說(shuō)Vin是多么的努力。所以此處Vin的例子作用是為了鼓勵(lì)Spook堅(jiān)持。
10．What discomforts was Spook suffering when moving down the street?
①The shining daylight that almost made him blind.?、赥he little stones that jabbed him like a knife.
③The cold spring air that seemed freezing.
38、
④The sleepless people that turned over and over in their beds.
⑤The awakened awareness of being unimportant when keeping watch.
⑥His street dialect that made him hard to understand.
A．②③ B．①②③
C．②③④⑥ D．①②③④⑤⑥
解析：選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第五段第一句中的“these discomforts”可知，要定位到上一段，即第四段中。根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知不適有兩點(diǎn)，分別
39、是②、③，所以選擇A。
11．Where can the following sentence most probably be?
“Perhaps hed find a way to become useful to the others.”
A．① B．②
C．③ D．④
解析：選A 推理判斷題。插入句子意思是他發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)辦法能夠讓自己對(duì)別人有用。第4處之所以不行，是因?yàn)槿朔Q，第4處是第一人稱，而被插入的句子是第三人稱，人稱上不匹配。第2、3兩處都是在講這個(gè)男孩子不好，而被插入句是講這個(gè)男孩子好，所以從人稱和情感兩個(gè)角度，選第1處比較合適。
12．What can we
40、learn about Spook from the article?
A．Hes a guilty and weak nephew of the great Clubs.
B．Hes a carefullypicked and most powerful member of the crew.
C．Hes a proud and selfsacrificing handy man of the crew.
D．Hes a strongwilled and outstanding Allomancer.
解析：選D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)全文的內(nèi)容，尤其是第五段的第一句“However,
41、he had concluded that these discomforts were small prices to pay for the opportunity to become — whatever it was he had become.”，和倒數(shù)第二段的最后一句“If that meant pushing his body beyond what was safe, so be it.”可知，Spook為了保護(hù)家園決心很大，付出生命的代價(jià)也在所不惜，所以他意志是堅(jiān)定的；再看全文的內(nèi)容可知他因?yàn)樽约褐暗耐丝s一直內(nèi)疚，所以很努力地在改變自己，希望能夠彌補(bǔ)自己以前的過(guò)失，所以是個(gè)有責(zé)任心的人。因此他是一個(gè)意志堅(jiān)定的優(yōu)秀的Allomance人。
