Question

Isn’t it cool to surf in summer? You catch a wave and enjoy the ride with skill and gift. Surfing is not only our favorite pastime, though. A group of penguins(企鹅) enjoy the sport as much as we do. And they display their excitement and skills in the new animated(动画) film Surf's Up , which came out on June 6, in the US.

Teenage penguin Cody Maverick lives in Antarctica and loves the sport. He desires to learn from Cody's idol is Big Z, a great penguin surfing king.

He is different from other penguins, who work in processing factories. His brother and mother are not supportive of him. He really wants to get away. Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires. He's given the chance to escape when Mikey Abromowitz, a talent scout (星探), comes to Antarctica to look for gifted penguins for a surfing competition on an island named Pen Gu.

Cody's really excited, but, during his show, there are no waves and he chokes. But he knows he can't give up. He runs after Mikey's whale. And he begs until Mikey agrees to take him to Pen Gu.

There Cody meets Lani, the island's beautiful lifeguard, as well as his main rival (对手), the surfing champion Evans. The cocky Evans shows no respect for Big Z, which makes Cody angry. In order to defend his forever idol, he challenges Evans to a surfing match, only to suffer a terrible defeat.

Lani takes Cody to the island doctor. As they spend time together, Cody realizes that this doctor is really Big Z himself and begged Big Z to teach him.After Big Z learns the cause of his injury, he begins to train Cody and help him make a good surfer. He improves his skills and begins a close surfing match with Evans….

Answer 1

【小题1】D

【小题2】B

【小题3】D

【小题4】A

【小题5】C

解析:

【小题1】主旨大意题。由第一段可知，这是一篇影片《冲浪企鹅》的介绍。介绍了名叫Cody Maverick的企鹅浪尖励志的故事，用影片名字作为标题最为合适。

【小题2】正误判断题。由第三段中 “He is different from other penguins, who work in processing factories. His brother and mother are not supportive of him. He really wants to get away.”可知他与家人相处得不好, B项表述错误, 符合题意, 为正确答案。其他选项文中均有明确表述。

【小题3】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段  “In order to defend his forever idol, he challenges Evans to a surfing match, only to suffer a terrible defeat.”可知, Big Z是他的心中偶像, 是他最崇拜的人。

【小题4】词义猜测题。本题考查choke在特定语境中的特定含义。choke常见的意思有“窒息；堵塞；抑制”。由choke 前后的信息词but; no waves ;he can't give up; runs after; begs ,可知choke此处意思应为 “失败”, 故A项为正确答案。

【小题5】推理判断题。由文章第三、四段所叙述的可以推出Cody Maverick不达目的决不罢休，是一个意志坚定的“人”。由第五段 “In order to defend his forever idol, he challenges Evans to a surfing match, only to suffer a terrible defeat.” 和最后一段中 “After Big Z learns the cause of his injury, he begins to train Cody…”可以推出他的忠诚打动了Big Z。故C项为正确答案。
