  In October, 1961, at Crowley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio, an old, deaf gentleman named William E.Hoy stood up to throw out the first ball of the World Series.Most people at Crowley Field on that day probably did not remember Hoy because he had retired(退休)from professional baseball 58 years earlier.However, he had been an outstanding player and the deaf community still talks about him and his years in baseball.William E.Hoy was born in Houckstown, Ohio, on May 23, 1862.He became deaf when he was two years old.He attended the Columbus Ohio School for the Deaf.After graduation, he started playing semi-pro baseball while working as a shoemaker.

  Hoy began playing professional baseball in 1886 for Oshkosh(Wisconsin)of the Northwestern League.In 1888, he started as an outfielder with the old Washington Senators.His small stature and speed made him an outstanding base runner.He was very good at stealing bases during his career.In the 1888 major league season, he stole 82 bases.He was also the Senators’ leading hitter in 1888.Hoy threw right-handed and tatted left-handed.On June 19, 1889, he threw out three batters at the plate from his outfield position.

  The arm signals used by umpires(裁判)today to show balls and strikes, and his left arm to signal that it was a ball.

  For many years, people talked about Hoy’s last ball game.He was playing for Los Angeles of the Pacific Coast Winter League.It was a memorable game because Hoy made an unusual play which won the game.It was a very foggy night and, therefore, very hard to see the ball.In the ninth inning, with two men out, Hoy managed to catch a fly ball to make the third out.Los Angeles defeated their opposition and won the pennant(锦旗)for the year.

  Hoy married Anna Marie Lowery.The Hoys had many fiends.Since they could not hear a doorbell or a knock on the door, Hoy put a baseball in a groove(槽)by the door bell.The pulling of the bell knocked the ball onto the floor.The vibrations announced the visitor.

  After he retired, Hoy stayed busy.He ran a dairy farm near Cincinnati for 20 years.He also became a public speaker and traveled giving speeches.Until a few years before his death, he took 4 and 10 mile walks several mornings a week.On December 15, 1961, William Hoy died at the age of 99.

(1)

It can be inferred from the text that _______.

[  ]

A.

Hoy’s wife was also deaf

B.

Hoy did badly in the 1888 major league season.

C.

Hoy had very bad eyesight

D.

Hoy stopped taking exercises shortly before he died

(2)

The underlined word “vibrations” in Para.5 probably refers to _______.

[  ]

A.

postman

B.

men servants

C.

door bells

D.

shaking movements of the ball

(3)

The passage mainly tells us about _______.

[  ]

A.

the rest of the life of a deaf baseball player

B.

the development of the umpire’s hand signal

C.

the great effect on baseball by a deaf player

D.

the greatest American sport played by nearly everyone

答案:1.A;2.D;3.C;
解析:

(1)

推断题。倒数第二段:他娶了妻子,朋友来时他们听不见门铃或敲门声。所以推断出他妻子也是听不见的。B与文中事实正好相反,C、D文中未提及。

(2)

该题是一个推测词义题,主要考查学生根据上下文猜测词义的能力。

(3)

主旨大意题。要求学生围绕整篇短文进行归纳概括。C概括最为完整,提到一个聋子运动员、棒球以及他对棒球产生的巨大影响——the umpire’s hand signals。A、B只是文章的一部分。本文所要讲的是一个人,不是D中的一项运动。

  Once upon a time the colors of the world started to quarrel.Green said,“Clearly I am the most important.I am the sign of life and hope.I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves.Without me, all animals would   1  .”

  Blue interrupted,“You only think about the   2  , but consider the sky and the sea.  3   the water that is the basis of life and drawn up by the clouds from the deep sea.Without my peace, you would all be   4  .”

  Yellow chuckled(笑道),“You are all so serious.I bring laughter, fun, and   5   into the world.”

  The colors went on boasting, each convinced of his or her own   11  .Their quarreling became louder and louder.Suddenly there was a startling flash of bright lightening thunder.Rain started to pour down   12  .The colors crouched(蜷缩)down   13  , drawing close to one another for comfort.

  In the midst of the clamor(叫嚷), rain began to speak,“You foolish colors, fighting   14  yourselves, each trying to dominate  15  .Don't you know that you were each made for a special purpose,   16  ?Join hands with   17   and come to me.”

  Doing as they were told, the colors   18   and joined hands.They formed a colorful rainbow.From then on, whenever a good rain   19   the world, a rainbow appears in the sky.They remember to   20   one another.

     CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied
with it and that is why in 1998 and 1999 the company received letters of complaints(投诉) from consumers
or passengers who pointed out over a dozen kinds of problems which are divided in groups in the following
table. This division is called Category. Problems that appear when the plane is flying are Flight problems.
Those about passengers' things carried by the plane are Baggage problems. Customer service refers to
service work which passengers are not satisfied with. Over sales of seats are about the fact that more seats
are sold and as a result the plane is too crowded to be safe. Refund problems appear when passengers fail
to receive the money paid to them because of what they have lost. Fares are problems about the price of
tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
passengers think about advertisement on the plane. Credit problems are about the use of credit cards.
