Question

【题目】 Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book. It had lots of ______ of children playing in big white fields. He asked, "Mum, what are those white fields?" His mother laughed, "That's snow, and they are making a snowman!" She tried to ______ what snow was. Afel didn't really understand because there was no real snow where he lived. But he showed great interest.

One day when he was 12, Afel was watching a programme on TV with his uncle. It was full of snow, and there were people flying across the snow. They looked like fantastic birds. They had hats covering all their heads and big goggles over their eyes. And on their feet, they had ______ shoes.

"What are those?" he asked his uncle ______. "Skis," replied his uncle. "And those people are called skiers." At that moment, he decided to be a ______. "What is the programme?" he asked. "The Winter Olympics," said his uncle. "It's like the normal Olympics and they have it every four years."

Afel found out that the next Winter Olympics would be in Beijing, in 2022. "Perfect," he thought. "Enough time for me to become an excellent skier."

"But there's no snow here!" People told him. "Where are you going to ski?" "How will you go to the Olympics?" People asked him. "Our country doesn't even have a skiing team." But Afel didn't ______.

He made himself a pair of skis from two pieces of wood. He tied them to his feet and practiced with two sticks in his hands. He practised again and again until he could move quite quickly across the sand. He tried to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn't.

"Never mind," he thought. "It's a ______…"

【1】句意：里面有很多孩子们在白色的大田野里玩耍的照片。

videos视频文件；pictures图片； clothes衣服；tools工具；根据文中“Afel was only a very small boy when he first saw snow in a picture book.“可知他正在看图画书，然后在里面看到了许多图片。故选B。

【2】句意：她试图解释雪是什么。

draw画画；circle圈出； prepare准备；explain解释；根据“That's snow, and they are making a snowman!和Afel didn't really understand because there was no real snow where he lived.”可知他妈妈在解释雪是什么，但是他并不能理解，此处填“解释”。故选D。

【3】句意：他们的脚上穿着奇怪的鞋子。

strange奇怪的；strong强壮的；valuable有价值的；comfortable舒服的；根据“They looked like fantastic birds.”可知他们的装扮在他眼里是很奇怪的，因此鞋子也是奇怪的。故选A。

【4】句意：“那是什么?”他兴奋地问叔叔。

politely有礼貌地；hopefully有希望地； excitedly兴奋地；nervously紧张地；根据“What are those?和What is the programme?”可知他对这个奇怪地事物很感兴趣，不停地问它地相关事情，故他应该是兴奋地问。故选C。

【5】句意：在那一刻，他决定成为一名滑雪者。

refuse拒绝； learn学习； care在意；complain抱怨；根据“Our country doesn't even have a skiing team”和后面的but可知阿费尔并不在意有没有滑雪队，他只想成为一名滑雪者，因此这里是填不在意。故选C。

【7】句意：“没关系，”他想。“这还只是开始。”

way方式； start开始； chance机会； suggestion建议；根据“He tried to fly down the hills like the people on TV, but he couldn't.”可知他不能像电视上的滑雪者一样，所以他安慰自己没有关系，他的练习才开始，因此填“开始”。故选B。

【8】句意：他梦想着有一天能把奖牌带回家。

dreams梦想；predicts预言；proves证明； realizes实现；根据“So every night, Afel practises skiing down sand hills.”可知他每天都会练习滑雪，为的是有一天能获奖，因此此处填“梦想”最合适。故选A。
