题目内容

【题目】Imagine you are in a jumping contest. Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!

The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.

His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie’s jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long-jump event.

The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (横杆) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.

Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大镜). The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫虫).

The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high!

Though the humans lose the “jumping contest,” their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!

【1】The underlined word “contestant” in Paragraph 5 means “_____”.

A. coachB. teammateC. challengerD. record holder

【2】What can we learn about the spittlebug?

A. It likes living on the ceiling.

B. It is good at flying in the air.

C. It is the same length as a pencil.

D. It has a wonderful jumping talent.

【3】In the author’s opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug’s jumping abilities are ________.

A. surprisingB. promisingC. doubtfulD. fearful

【4】How does the author develop the text?

A. By giving instructions.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By following the order of time.

D. By following the order of importance.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【4】B

【解析】

试题分析：本文对比了人类和动物的跳跃能力。

【1】C 词义猜测题。根据第五段的Looking around for someone to challenge his record可知，挑战跳高纪录保持者的是一只吹沫虫.由此可知contestant在此有“挑战者”之意。故选C。challenge是关键词。

【2】D 推理判断题。从第六段对吹沫虫的描述可知，这种虫子具有跳跃天赋。故选D。

【3】A 推理判断题.从文章首段的But they might just leave humans in the dust,第三段的But wait... 和倒数第二段的That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories high 等描述可推知，作者认为青蛙Rosie和吹沫虫的跳跃能力令人吃惊。故选A。

【4】B 细节理解题。作者从跳高和跳远两方面对比了人类和动物的跳跃能力，故选B。

【题目】For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.

◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

◆Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering(越野识途比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B(and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.

【1】When you sit beside the driver, you’d better ________.

A．look ahead to see where there is a gas station

B．move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

C．keep looking at the map to find another place to go to

D．direct the driver when necessary

【2】In the exploration, why do you need wait for the slower friends?

A．To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

B．To tell him/her what’s going on with group members.

C．To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost.

D．To show them how fast you can go.

【3】What does the whole passage talk about?
