题目内容

【题目】Grace Kane hangs onto an Olympic dream of clinging to a granite(花岗岩)wall by her fingertips 70 feet from the ground.The fearless girl is only 10，but already has scaled great heights in the sport of rock climbing.

Last week，Kane won a bronze in the 11 and younger sport class at the USA Climbing Youth National Championships in Atlanta.She was the only competitor of the 31 there with no climbing coach or topflight facilities in which to train.Climbing will become an exhibition at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics in Brazil.The hope of enthusiasts is that the sport will gain full status in 2020.“I'm already training for that，” said Kane.“Climbing is my passion，my love，and I want to make something of it.”

Her dad took her to climb rocks on her fourth birthday for the first time and today he can't keep up with her.“It's the freedom to let loose，” she said.“When I'm up there，I'm so focused and don't hear anything.I always feel comforted knowing people are supporting me.”

The bronze in Atlanta qualified Kane for the USA team and November's International Championships in Ecuador.That's a trip she might have to miss because it's too expensive.

Kane held a backyard music concert—she played the guitar and the piano and wrote inspirational songs—and raised $600 for her $1,500 trip to Atlanta.She's also been sponsored by a shoe company，but must rely heavily on donations from family and friends for travel expenses.

Her mom Heather Kane said the family has chosen “to do watever we need to help her achieve her goals”．One of Grace's biggest challenges is finding balance in her life.There's school，her music and church to fit around climbing.

“Climbing is going to mean sacrificing things other kids might pursue，” Grace said.“But it doesn't bother me.It's like playing the piano；you can't take a break or you'll lose your touch.”

【1】What would be the best title of the passage?

A．Rock Climbing Gains Popularity

B．Grace Kane Likes Challenges

C．A Young Climber Follows Her Dream

B．get qualified for the USA team

C．raise enough money for International competitions

D．keep balance between rock climbing and other activities

【答案】【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】【1】主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一个十岁的攀岩女孩为了自己的爱好和梦想在奋斗，故选C项。

【2】细节理解题。由第二段可知，到2016年巴西里约热内卢奥运会上攀岩才会成为表演项目，所以它现在还不是一个表演项目。

【题目】阅读下面的文言文，回答下列各题

壬戌之秋，七月既望，苏子与客泛舟游于赤壁之下。清风徐来，水波不兴。举酒属客，诵明月之诗，歌窈窕之章。少焉，月出于东山之上，徘徊于斗牛之间。白露横江，水光接天。纵一苇之所如，凌万顷之茫然。浩浩乎如冯虚御风，而不知其所止；飘飘乎如遗世独立，羽化而登仙。

于是饮酒乐甚，扣舷而歌之。歌曰：“桂棹兮兰桨，击空明兮溯流光。渺渺兮予怀，望美人兮天一方。”客有吹洞箫者，倚歌而和之。其声呜呜然，如怨如慕，如泣如诉。余音袅袅，不绝如缕。舞幽壑之潜蛟，泣孤舟之嫠妇。

苏子愀然，正襟危坐而问客曰：“何为其然也？”客曰：“‘月明星稀，乌鹊南飞’，此非曹孟德之诗乎？西望夏口，东望武昌，山川相缪，郁乎苍苍，此非孟德之困于周郎者乎？方其破荆州，下江陵，顺流而东也，舳舻千里，旌旗蔽空，酾酒临江，横槊赋诗，固一世之雄也，而今安在哉？况吾与子渔樵于江渚之上，侣鱼虾而友麋鹿，驾一叶之扁舟，举匏樽以相属。寄蜉蝣于天地，渺沧海之一粟。哀吾生之须臾，羡长江之无穷。挟飞仙以遨游，抱明月而长终。知不可乎骤得，托遗响于悲风。”

【1】下列各句中，加点字的意义解释不正确的一项是( )

A．水波不兴 兴：起。

B．纵一苇之所如 如：往。

C．顺流而东也 东：向东。

B．扣舷而歌之 拔剑切而啖之

D．渺沧海之一粟 行李之往来

【3】下列对选文有关内容的分析和概括，不正确的一项是（ ）

A．第一段写夜游赤壁的情景，交代时间、地点、人物，展现了一幅诗情画意的夜游图，表达了作者夜游赤壁的兴奋之情。

B．作者饮酒乐极，扣舷而歌，抒发其思“美人”而不得见的怅惘、失意的胸怀。歌词里所说的“美人”实际上乃是作者的理想和一切美好事物的化身。

C．文章运用主客问答的方式，使行文结构波澜起伏，摇曳多姿；客的一番话是试图用曹操的经历说明人生短暂，要珍惜时间，创造“一世之雄”的伟业。

D．苏轼以江水、明月为喻，阐述了这样一个哲理：从事物变化的角度看，天地的存在不过是转瞬之间；从不变的角度看，则事物和人类都是无穷尽的。

【题目】Movie Music

Accustomed though we are to speaking of the films made before 1927 as “silent”, the film has never been, in the full sense of the word, silent. From the very beginning, music was regarded as an indispensable accompaniment; when the Lumiere films were shown at the first public film exhibition in the United States in February 1896, they were accompanied by piano improvisations on popular tunes. At first, the music played bore no special relationship to the films; an accompaniment of any kind was sufficient. Within a very short time, however, the incongruity of playing lively music to a solemn film became apparent, and film pianists began to take some care in matching their pieces to the mood of the film.

As movie theaters grew in number and importance, a violinist, and perhaps a cellist, would be added to the pianist in certain cases, and in the larger movie theaters small orchestras were formed. For a number of years the selection of music for each film program rested entirely in the hands of the conductor or leader of the orchestra, and very often the principal qualification for holding such a position was not skill or taste so much as the ownership of a large personal library of musical pieces. Since the conductor seldom saw the films until the night before they were to be shown(if indeed, the conductor was lucky enough to see them then), the musical arrangement was normally improvised in the greatest hurry.

To help meet this difficulty, film distributing companies started the practice of publishing suggestions for musical accompaniments. In 1909, for example, the Edison Company began issuing with their films such indications of mood as ”pleasant”, “sad”, “lively”. The suggestions became more explicit, and so emerged the musical cue sheet containing indications of mood, the titles of suitable pieces of music, and precise directions to show where on piece led into the next.

Certain films had music especially composed for them. The famous of these early special scores was that composed and arranged for D.W Griffith’s film Birth of a Nation, which was released in 1915.

【1】When the Lumiere films were shown in the United States ___ .

A. a band was playing there

【2】From the context of the passage we can know that with the development of films ___ and became more important.

A. the cinemas increased in number

B. the number of musicians grew

D. the conductor of a band was needed

【3】The musical cue sheet was used for ___ .

A. directing music accompaniments of silent movies

B. composing special music of a special movie

C. composing music for all kinds of concerts

D. showing directions how to get to a place

【题目】Strange stones of Costa Rica

One of the strangest mysteries in archacology was discovered in the Diquis River Delta, in southern Costa Rica. Since the 1930s, hundreds of stone balls have been found. They range in size from a few centimeters to over two metres in diameter.

Who made these perfect spheres(球体) and how they made them remains a mystery. Some researchers believe the stones were made by extreme heating followed by cooling. People could have polished the spheres with sand or leather. The ancient Costa Ricans had no written language so there is no written record of just how they made the spheres.

Almost all are made of granite (花岗岩), a hard stone created by volcanoes. The granite quarries(采石场) were 25 to 30 miles away from the largest stones, which weigh more than 10 tons each. Nobody knows how people moved them..

Many of the stones have been found near the remains of houses or graves. Some believed that the stones contained hidden treasures and a few have been smashed but nothing has been found inside. Despite these losses, the National Museum of Costa Rica has recorded 130 spheres. However, many stones are not included because they have been removed from their original sites and used as ornaments(装饰) in homes, gardens and churches. Clearly, there are also many stones that lie undiscovered.

【1】The stones were discovered ___ .

A. near the volcanoes

B. in southern Costa Rica

C. in a grave

D. in churches

【2】The writer ___ in the passage.

A. admires the spheres very much

B. doesn’ t believe the spheres were once made by humans

C. tells us a discovery

D. thinks highly of the spheres

【3】The underlined word ”polished” refers to “___”.

A. buried

B. wrapped

C. made shining

D. made big

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is true?

A. The stone balls found in the Diquis River Delta are all very huge.

B. The stone balls were unearthed from the graves.

C. The local people show great interest in the stone balls.

D. There are a lot of treasures in the stone balls.

【5】The passage mainly tells us ___ .

A. the stones are of great value.

B. the stones proved to be made by non-humans.

C. the stones are mystery.

D. the stone are ornaments.
