科目：初中英语 来源：2018年上海中考英语二模D篇汇编 题型：回答问题
The story of the Mary Celeste is a very famous unsolved mystery. The story is about a sailing ship called the Mary Celeste and the strange disappearance of all the people on board the ship.
The ship sailed from New York on 7th November, 1872, for the port of Genoa in Italy. It was carrying a cargo (货物) of 1,700 barrels of American alcohol which was worth 35,000 dollars. There were 10 people on board the ship: the captain, Briggs, his wife, Sarah, their two-year-old daughter, and seven crewmen. Briggs had a good fame as a captain. He was also a religious man who did not drink alcohol.
The mystery begins on 15th November, 1872. The Mary Celeste was between the Azores and the coast of Portugal when it was seen by the captain of another ship, Captain Morehouse. Captain Morehouse was immediately worried because he could see that the Mary Celeste was out of control. He was also very surprised because he knew that Captain Briggs was a good sailor. There were no distress (求救) signals from the Mary Celeste and no reply when Morehouse tried to make contact, so he decided to take a small boat and climb on board the Mary Celeste. There was nobody on board!
There didn’t seem to be much wrong with the ship: it was not in danger of sinking, so there was no need for panic. However, the ship’s register and other paperwork were missing; the navigation instruments were missing; and everything on the ship, including the captain’s bed, was wet through. Another important fact is that there were no boats on board. And a strange fact is that when the cargo was finally unloaded in Genoa, nine barrels of alcohol were missing. Can we find an explanation which fits all the known facts?
Morehouse guessed that the crew must, for some reason, have thought that the boat was sinking and panicked. But why did they think it was sinking? It is possible that, as the cargo was alcohol, there might be an explosion which would cause everyone on board to panic. The crew might have climbed into the boat and tied the boat to the main ship while they checked if the ship really was sinking. Perhaps a storm broke the rope and left them all in a small boat on stormy seas.
It seems that 92 now, but I am sure that people will keep thinking of possible solutions, and the only limit to these solutions will be the human imagination!
1.Which place did the Mary Celeste leave for?
______________________________________________________________________.
2.What do you know about Briggs besides having a family of three people?
______________________________________________________________________.
3.How did Morehouse feel when he saw the Mary Celeste was out of control?

4.Why did Morehouse guess that the crew panicked at that time?

Travelers' tales
Every year, a magazine called Executive Travel organizes a competition to find the best airline of the year. Travelers from all over the world are invited to vote (投票) for the most punctual (准时的), the safest and the friendliest airline. The competition also invites them to tell their most horrible stories during their travels. Now let’s read some travelers’ tales of bad flying experiences.
One traveler shared his story which happened on a certain African airline. Even if some passengers had boarding cards, they couldn’t still get the seats. They complained and shouted at the airport. Finally, the flight attendants solved the problem by setting a funny rule. Those passengers who ran fastest around the plane twice could get the seats at last.
An overbooked flight that was going from Heathrow Airport to America gave another traveler a bit of a shock. Dressed only in trousers, a shirt and socks, the traveler had been allowed by the flight attendants to leave the aircraft to see if he could get a workmate aboard. But when he returned a few minutes later, he found the plane closed up and about to start moving --- with his shoes, wallet, passport and luggage on board. He knocked heavily on the door and then was allowed to get back inside.
Luggage is also a rich source of horror stories. There was the unlucky traveler who left Chicago where the temperature was minus (零下) 11 degrees centigrade. He was going to attend an important meeting in Dallas where the temperature was as high as 26.7 degrees centigrade. Unfortunately, his suitcase had gone to Los Angeles and wasn’t able to be sent to him before the meeting. So he had to__________________________________________________________.
1.Whom does Executive Travel invite to take part in the vote?
_________________________________________________________________
2.Why couldn’t some passengers with boarding cards still get the seats on the African airline?
_________________________________________________________________
3.In the second tale, why did the traveler leave the aircraft?
_________________________________________________________________
4.How did the traveler get back inside the aircraft later?
_________________________________________________________________
5.Where could the traveler possibly find his suitcase in the last paragraph?

6.What can be filled in the blank of the last sentence to make the tale complete (完整的) and reasonable (合理的)? （Please design two different endings）

In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he saw many wonderful things. One of the things he discovered was that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people didn’t use paper money until 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. He put these pieces of paper together and made them in a book.
Now paper comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. So how can we save paper? We can use both of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets(小包). We can also use handkerchiefs(手帕) and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give you a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. We should do it now, before it is too late.
1.When Marco Polo was in China, he _________.
A. discovered Cai Lun invented paper B. learned to make paper
C. discovered Chinese people used paper money D. learned to use paper money
2.People in Western countries first used paper money in the ________ century.
A. 17th B. 15th C. 13th D. 7th
3.Which of the following is NOT the way of saving paper?
A. To use both sides of every piece of paper.
B. To use the paper bags from shops more than once.
C. To use cotton handkerchiefs instead of paper ones.
D. To grow more trees.
4.Which of the following is not true?
A. If we keep on wasting paper, we will have no paper to use.
B. The Chinese people used paper money earlier than the people in Western countries.
C. .Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper money about two thousand years ago.
D. We can use the paper bags from the shops again.
5.Which is the best title of the passage?
