17.Far out in the lake was a large wooden platform on which stood an improbably high diving board-a kind of wooden Eiffel Tower.It was,I'm sure,the county's tallest wooden structure and no one had ever been known to jump from it.
So it was quite a shock when our teacher,Mr.Milton,announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.
Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr.Milton swam out to the platform.He was just a tiny,stick figure when he got there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds.Once at the top,he paced the enormously long board,then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge.He was going to do it.
Several hundred people had gathered at the shore to watch.Mr.Milton stood for quite a long time,then he raised his arms,took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive.It was beautiful.He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.The crowd fell silent.The only sound to be heard was the faint whistle of his body tearing through the air toward the water far,far below.
But about three quarters of the way down he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic,waving his arms and legs like someone having a bad dream.When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water,he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide,apparently hoping that it would somehow slow his fall.
It didn't.
He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away.I don't think he entered the water at all.He just bounced off it,about fifteen feet back into the air.After that,he lay still on the surface,spinning like an autumn leaf.
He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon.Occasionally he accepted small sips of water,but otherwise was too shocked to speak.From head to toe,he was covered with deep red bruises.
…It was the best day of my life.
24.What did the writer think of Mr.Milton's plan to jump from the diving board?A
A.Crazy.
B.Disappointing.
C.Heroic.
D.Confused.
25.In Paragraph 3,Mr.Milton is described as"a tiny,stick figure"because he wasC.
A.tired after swimming
B.very small and thin
C.very far away
D.sure to be broken
26.Why did Mr.Milton suddenly start swinging his arms and legs during the dive?B
A.He thought it was the best way to slow his fall.
B.He lost his confidence and started to panic.
C.He was signalling the crowd for help.
D.He wanted to show his courage.
27.Which of the following sentences from the passage is an example of a fact?D
A.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour.
B.The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of trees up to three miles away.
C.He just bounced off it,about fifteen feet back into the air.
D.He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了我的老师Mr.Milton从很高的跳水板上跳下去潜水,起初他十分轻松自在,但是后来他很惊恐害怕,并且停止挥动手臂和腿希望降低速度,最后他被路过的渔民带到岸边,震惊得说不出话来,而且身上都是红色的深伤痕.

解答 24.A.推理判断题.根据第二段So it was quite a shock when our teacher,Mr.Milton,announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.可知当我知道我们老师要从跳水板上跳下来我觉得很震惊,从而可以推断出我觉得这个举动是疯狂的,故选A.
25.C.推理判断题.根据文章第三段He was just a tiny,stick figure when he got there but even from such a distancethe high board seemed almost to touch the clouds.可知他之所以看起来很小很单薄是因为他距离我们太远了,故选C.
26.B.细节理解题.根据文章第四段he seemed to have second thoughts and began suddenly to panic他似乎有了别的想法,突然开始恐慌,可知他有点惊慌了,似乎有点失去自信,因此他突然挥舞着他的胳膊和腿,故选B.
27.D.细节理解题.根据文章最后一段"He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon"他被路过的小船上两个渔民带上了岸放在一个旧毯子,他下午的其余时间都花在岸边;可知他被路过的小船上两个渔民带上了岸;故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

8.For most of my 15 years,my father usually said very little to my mother and me.He preferred reading the newspaper or watching football matches on television to talking to his family.
Everything changed one morning.As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast,I could see that he wasn't his usual reserved (缄默的)self."Can't wait!FIFA World Cup!Big match!Must see!"I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about:Dad is a big football fan.
I had never been interested in football,but Dad's excitement that morning  made  me more and more curious.I had to find out why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a A five-year-old on his first trip to Disneyland.
Dad decided^hat we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating.Secretly,I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.'The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant.As I was eating my meal,a loud noise came from the television.Surprised,I looked up at the TV:"Why is that man jumping up and down?"Dad patiently explained:"That's Papa Bouba Diop,my son.It's normal for them to jump up and down after they've scored."
Dad explained almost everything to me.His monosyllabic (单音节的)answers were a thing of the past.I loved the new Dad!I watched the rest of the match,becoming more and more interested.When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him,he smiled and gave me a wink ( 眨眼)•At long last we had something in common.
Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other.Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball?

5.Big or small,rejection affects us all.Harry Potter was rejected.So was The Twilight Saga.If authors J.K.Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn't kept trying with publisher after publisher,we'd all have missed out on some great adventures.
Rejection doesn't have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college,not making the team,or not getting asked to the prom (舞会).Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection,too,like if your joke doesn't get a laugh,if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table,or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted.But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn't mean someone isn't liked,valued,or important.It just means that one time,in one situation,with one person,things didn't work out.
Rejection hurts.But it's impossible to avoid it altogether.In fact,you don't want to-people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want.Sure,they avoid rejection,but they're also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won't try for.
【写作内容】
1.以约30个词概括上文的主要内容.
2.以约120个词就"How to deal with rejection"这一话题发表你的看法,内容包括:
(1)讲述一次你被拒绝的经历; (2)你当时的感受; (3)你认为应该如何正确面对拒绝.
【写作要求】
作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事,也可以参照阅读材料的内容,但不得直接引用原文中的句子.
【评分标准】
概括准确,语言规范,内容合适,语篇连贯.
