故選A3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Paravani Lake?A．Lack of medicine.B．Volcano eruptions.C．Altitude sickness.D．Low temperature all the year.C　解析：細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第三段中的“At this level，altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly，or bring medication for altitude sickness.”可知，在游覽Paravani Lake時，游客們最有可能面臨的挑戰(zhàn)就是高原反應BI used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters.The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep(陡的) stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a man entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase(樓梯). I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back, thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.Such well mannered people are hard to find these days when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(彬彬有禮)．【解題導語】　在這個忙碌的現(xiàn)代社會，彬彬有禮、體貼他人的品質(zhì)變得尤為珍貴。

作者講述了自己經(jīng)歷的一件事情，并贊揚了這種良好的品質(zhì)4．What is the meaning of the underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 1?A．A brave action. B．Sacrifice spirit.C．A considerate action. D．Selfish behavior.C　解析：詞義猜測題根據(jù)下文故事中的男人為作者讓路并且開門可推測出，這是一種體貼的行為，故選C項A項意為“勇敢的行為”；B項意為“犧牲精神”；D項意為“自私的行為”5．What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?A．He was in a hurry.B．He would wait for her.C．He would pass her rudely.D．He was a man with good manners.C　解析：細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第三段中的“I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up.”可知，作者本認為這個男人會粗魯?shù)財D開她上樓梯，故選C項。

6．What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?A．He might be a waiter of the café.B．He might have an urgent business to do.C．He loved a daughter of the author.D．He would hold the door open for all.B　解析：推理判斷題根據(jù)第四段中的“I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time.”以及下文談到她們都來不及對這個男人說一聲謝謝可推知，那個男人上樓梯，一次上兩級臺階，應該是有急事要做，故選B項CIt’s well known to car drivers that red means “stop”， green means “go”， and yellow means “hurry up and make that damn light”．Why those colors, though? The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains, not cars.They were red and green, gas-powered, and more than a little dangerous in the event of a leak.Red is an inherited(繼承的) symbol from railroads, which symbolizes danger in many cultures.As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光譜), it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.Red has meant “stop” since long before cars existed, with train signals’ use of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear.Green’s wavelength is next to(and shorter than) yellow’s on the visible spectrum, meaning it’s still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow.Back in the early days of railway lights, green meant “caution”， while the “all-clear” light was, well, clear or white.It is said that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night for an all-clear.Thus, green became “go”， and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.From the earliest days of motoring up until the mid-1900s，not all stop signs were red—many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area.In 1915 the yellow stop-sign craze began in Detroit, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first yellow traffic light.But what of those mysterious yellow stop signs? As materials and technologies evolved, the ability to produce highly reflective signs meant that red could resume its natural spot in the sign hierarchy, leaving the still-highly-visible yellow to the domain(領域) of “caution”．That’s why school zones and buses, crosswalks, and other important warnings are yellow today.【解題導語】　本文是一篇說明文。

我們都知道“紅燈停，綠燈行，黃燈亮了快點走”的交通規(guī)則，但交通信號燈為什么是紅、黃、綠三種顏色呢？本文主要介紹了交通信號燈的起源和發(fā)展7．What were traffic lights originally intended for?A．Trains. B．Cars.C．Planes. D．Ships.A　解析：細節(jié)理解題根據(jù)第一段中的“The answer lies in the fact that the earliest traffic signals were designed for trains，not cars.”可知，最初，交通信號燈是為火車而不是汽車的通行而設計的8．What’s the main reason for red’s long being used to mean “stop”？A．It can be seen even in dark areas.B．It represents danger in many cultures.C．It has the longest wavelength.D．People prefer red to other colors.C　解析：細節(jié)理解題。

根據(jù)第二段中的“As red has a longer wavelength than any other color on the visible spectrum(光譜)，it can be seen from a greater distance than other colors.”可知，由于紅色在可見光譜中波長最長，因此可視距離要比其他顏色更遠，這也是其能長期被用作表示“停止”的交通信號的原因9．Which of the following may the author agree with?A．The meaning of red is culture-specific.B．Yellow functioned as stop signs in the 1900s.C．Green’s wavelength is just second to that of red.D．Green’s role in lights has changed over time.D　解析：推理判斷題根據(jù)第三段中的內(nèi)容尤其是“green meant ‘caution’”“green became‘go’”可知，隨著時間的變化，綠色在交通信號燈中所扮演的角色也發(fā)生了巨大的變化。

故選D10．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．The significance of road traffic signs.B．The history of railroad transportation.C．The symbolic meaning of different colors.D．The origin and development of traffic lights.D　解析：主旨大意題通讀全文內(nèi)容可知，本文主要講述了交通信號燈的起源與發(fā)展，并解釋了這三種顏色(紅、黃、綠)的物理性質(zhì)及為什么會被用作交通信號燈故D項最為全面地概括了文章的主要內(nèi)容 七選五My father used to be an amateur wrestler and national champion. He was forced by his father to give up the sport in order to obtain gainful employment, which meant he wouldn’t be able to win a medal for our country.Therefore, he made a vow that his unborn son would realize his unfinished dream. 1.________ He was about to give up hope when one day, my younger sister Babita and I beat up two boys accidentally in response to critical comments. My dad found our potential to become wrestlers and began coaching us. 2.________We were required to do physical training early in the morning and have short haircuts to avoid lice.3．________ We complained about him all the time. Gradually, I realized that he wanted us to have a good future and not grow up to be ordinary housewives. Motivated, we willingly participated in his coaching.With great efforts, he made us competitive wrestlers and I won junior and senior championships, providing me with a chance to gain training in the National Sports Academy, where pride and agony fulfilled my mind. 4.________ As a result, I found myself losing every match at the international level.After that, I turned to him for help. Then he coached me patiently.Despite difficulty, I finally became the first Indian female wrestler to qualify for the Olympics, inspiring dozens of Indian women to take to wrestling. Even now, Papa’s words are still in my mind “Geeta，think about all the girls who are thought to be inferior to boys，girls who are forced to do chores，girls who are married and have children. Not only will you compete with other countries, but also with those who look down upon women！” I will never forget about Father’s instruction. 5.________A．But his methods were cruel.B．I almost abandoned what Papa had taught me.C．Disappointingly, my mother gave birth to all girls.D．My sister and I tried to escape.E．I will always owe all success to him.F．At first, my sister and I did not understand our father.G．However，my mother didn’t agree with him.【解題導語】　“我”的爸爸曾經(jīng)是業(yè)余的摔跤運動員和全國冠軍，但被迫放棄了摔跤，他把所有的希望都寄托在未出生的兒子身上，但是“我”的媽媽生的都是女孩。

5．E　解析：本段敘述了爸爸的話，結合空處前一句“I will never forget about Father’s instruction.”可知，“我”不會忘記爸爸的教導，并從全文來看，“我”的成功與爸爸是分不開的故選E項語言運用與寫作規(guī)范練 完形填空My mother was a gift giver.
