【题目】C

Moby-Dick (1851) is a novel by Herman Melville, considered an outstanding work of Romanticism and the American Renaissance. Ishmael narrates the crazy quest of Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod, for revenge(报仇) on Moby Dick, a white whale which on a previous voyage destroyed Ahab's ship and severed his leg at the knee.

Our narrator, Ishmael, signs up as sailor on a whaling voyage to cure depression. On board the Pequod, Ishmael meets the mate honest Starbuck. Captain Ahab remains in his cabin and never shows himself to the crew.

Just when Ishmael’s curiosity about Ahab has reached a fever pitch, Ahab starts appearing on deck and we find out that he’s missing one leg. When Starbuck asks if it was Moby Dick, the famous White Whale, that took off his leg, Ahab admits that it was and forces the entire crew to swear that they will help him hunt Moby Dick to the ends of the earth and take revenge for his injury.

Despite first mate Starbuck’s worries and a variety of bad omens (e.g., all the navigational instruments break, a typhoon tries to push the ship backwards, and the Pequod encounters other ships that have lost crewmembers because of Moby Dick), Ahab insists on continuing to pursue the whale.

Finally, just when we think the novel’s going to end without ever seeing this famous White Whale, Ahab sights him and the chase is on. For three days, Ahab pursues Moby Dick, sending whaling boat after whaling boat after him only to see each one wrecked (使下沉)by the whale. Finally, at the end of the third day, the White Whale attacks the ship itself, and the Pequod goes down with all hands.

Even while his ship is sinking, Ahab, in his whaling boat, throws his harpoon at Moby Dick one last time. He misses, catching himself around the neck with the rope and causing his own drowning death.

【1】We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. Ishmael signs up as sailor for making a fortune.

B. The crew on board the Pequod was unwilling to help the captain to hunt Moby Dick

C. The captain was very kind to the crew on board the Pequod

D. The captain successfully captured Moby Dick and returned home.

【2】The underlined word “omens ”in paragraph 5 most probably means ________.

A. troubles B. accidents

C. stories D. signs

【3】What does the author think of Captain Ahab?

A. Selfish B. Knowledgeable C. Considerate D. Bad-tempered

【4】In a newspaper, this passage is most probably in the section of ________.

A. Lifestyle B. Travel C. Career D. Entertainment

【答案】

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【4】D

【解析】

【文章大意】文章主要讲述Moby Dick小说的内容。小说中Ahab, captain of the whaler Pequod因为曾经Moby Dick将他咬伤而采取一系列报复行动,最后Pequod遭到Moby Dick的进攻而沉没,Ahab船长也因此丧命。

【1】推理判断题。根据第二段的 "on board the Pequod, Ishmael meets the mate honest Starbuck. Captain Ahab remains in his cabin and never shows himself to the crew"可知船员们并不愿意帮助船长捕杀Moby Dick,故选B。

【2】猜测词义题。根据第四段的"all the navigational instruments break, a typhoon tries to push the ship backwards, and the Pequod encounters other ships that have lost crewmembers because of Moby Dick"可知,omens意为signs,故选D。

【3】观点态度题。根据第三段的"Ahab admits that it was and forces the entire crew to swear that they will help him hunt Moby Dick to the ends of the earth and take revenge for his injury"可知,Ahab想杀死Moby Dick是为了报复它把他咬伤,因此Ahab是自私的,故选A。

【4】写作意图题。根据第一段"Moby-Dick is a novel by Herman Melville "可知,文章主要讲述Moby Dick小说的内容,所以应属于entertainment娱乐版块,故选D。

【题目】A

Every February "Oscar fever" hits the entertainment community and film fans around the world, with the annual Academy Awards presentation happening a month later, when hundreds of millions of cinema lovers glue themselves to their television sets to learn who will receive the golden statuettes(小雕像).

The Academy Awards or Oscars is an annual American awards ceremony hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(AMPAS) to recognize excellence in cinematic achievements in the United States film industry. First presented in 1929, the awards are among the film industry’s most desired prizes.

The AMPAS maintains a voting membership of 5,783 until 2012 and academy membership is divided into different branches. For most categories, members from each of the branches vote to determine the nominees(被提名的人) only in their respective categories. In the special case of Best Picture, all voting members have the right to select the nominees. In all major categories, each member votes for up to five nominees (ten for Best Picture). From among these nominees, all academy members select the winners by secret voting.

Since the earliest years, interest in the Academy Awards has run high. The awards ceremony was first broadcast on radio in 1930 and has had broadcast coverage ever since and televised for the first time in 1953. It is now seen live in more than 200 countries and can be streamed live online.

How the Oscar received its nickname is not clear. A popular, but unsupported story goes that the name caught on after the Academy’s Executive Director Margaret Herrick said that the statuette resembled her Uncle Oscar. Thus, the journalists and Academy staff started to refer to it by this name. Officially, the name Oscar has been used since 1939.

【1】What does Oscar fever indicate?

A.A medical condition where one feels sick.

B. People’s seeking Oscars blindly.

C.A rare phenomenon in film industries.

D. People’s great interest in Oscars.

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. How award winners are singled out.

B. What is required of award winners.

C. Who maintains the voting membership.

D. What the academy members do.

【3】What can we learn about the awards presentation?

A. It is on annually in February.

B. The second one was first televised.

C. The first one escaped a media audience.

D. Its broadcast listeners have multiplied since 1953.
