TheWaterAngel【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，遠足者低估夏日的CamelbackMountain同時高估自己的能力，所以在遠足途中遇到麻煩，Cullymore了解情況后決定幫助他們。Cullymore通過在炎炎夏日給那些遠足者提供水而被人們親切地稱為“水天使”。（1）考查段落大意。根據(jù)第一段中的”FromJunetoSeptember,thetemperaturecaneasilysurpassthecenturymark“；”Signswarnthatthetrailis‘extremelydifficult’“；”Ifyoucontinue,apostedchecklistsuggestsatleastaliterofwaterperperson.“和“Ifyou'rehalfwaythroughyourwater,turnaround!”可知在夏天去CamelbackMountain遠足是非常艱難的，原因有兩個：一個是溫度很高，另一個是水。故選A。（2）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的”Theyunderestimatethemountain,andtheyoverestimatewhattheycando,andtheygetthemselvesintrouble.“可知人們低估了這座山，同時高估了自己的能力，因此他們陷入麻煩中，即對情況感到過于樂觀導(dǎo)致他們涉險。故選C。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的”Theywerelucky,hesaidpointingtoCullymore.‘WeranintothisGoodSamaritanhere.’”可知AustinHill說他們很幸運，因為他們遇到了Cullymore這個樂善好施的人，故推測Cullymore救了他。故選B。（4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第二段中的“Hehashelpedhydratesomanyhikersthathehasearnedaheavenlynickname:theWaterAngel.”和最后一段中的“Andwiththat,theWaterAngelgoesinsearchofanotherhikerinneed.”以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知，本文主要敘述了Cullymore通過在山上給登山者發(fā)水來幫助他們，從而得到“水天使”的昵稱，即本文主要講述“水天使”的故事。故選D?！军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解，推理判斷，段落大意和主旨大意四個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上，進一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。2．閱讀理解

Thepresentationsandassignmentshedidinclass.【答案】（1）C（2）A（3）D（4）B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者作為一名交換生在巴黎的所見所聞，內(nèi)心感受等。（1）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)作者對在巴黎街上漫步的喜愛及第四段中的“Thepeoplewatching,thesoundsofthecity,thecolorsastheseasonschange,theyalladdtotheecstasythatisexperiencingParisasanexchangestudent”可知，人們的注視，城市的聲音，季節(jié)變化時的色彩，都增加了作者作為交換生體驗巴黎的喜悅。由此推知，劃線詞的意思是“快樂，幸?！?。故選C。（2）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Butmyexperiencewasaromanticone.IpavedmypathtoParisthroughanexchangeprogram”可知，作者作為一名交換生來到巴黎，他認(rèn)為自己的巴黎之行非常浪漫。從第二段到最后，文章詳細敘述了作者在巴黎的所見所聞，內(nèi)心感受等。故整篇文章講述的是一個交換生在巴黎的經(jīng)歷。故選A。（3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的“TheonethingthatreadingabookortalkingtosomeonecannotdoistoprovideyouwiththeexperienceofwanderingParisonfoot.IdiscoveredsomeofmyfavoriteplacesinParisbywandering”可知，讀書以及和人交談無法提供步行在巴黎閑逛帶給你的體驗。通過閑逛，作者在巴黎發(fā)現(xiàn)了一些自己最喜歡的地方。由此可知，除了讀書，作者最珍惜的經(jīng)歷是在巴黎閑逛。故選D。（4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的

“ThebestpartaboutgoingonexchangeinParisisfallinginlovewiththecityinyourownuniqueway.Everyone'sexperienceofParisisdifferent.Iknowmineisuniqueandspecialtome,myownlittlepiecesofParis”可知，給作者留下最深的印象是他在這個城市的獨特經(jīng)歷。而從上文可知，他在巴黎體驗到了不同的風(fēng)土人情，不同的文化。故選B?！军c評】本題考點涉及推理判斷，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解
