2018下半年全国英语等级考试三级阅读理解模考试题

Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探险)but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different Spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

参考答案及解析

小题1:D

小题2:A

小题3:A

小题4:D

小题5:A

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。Larry小时候,特别受优待——接受了水下探险的理论和实践的教育。在父亲的带领下开始了惊奇的水下探险之旅,并不断地成长。最后成为一个有名的探险家。今天,他也要带着女儿水下探险,希望女儿能继承家中传统,也成为一个好的水下探险者。

小题1:D

解析:细节理解题 第一段第1,2 句(but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him.)告诉我们,Larry再一次进行水下探险,但这一次不同,他决定带他女儿一起去。所以D选项正确。B选项干扰性较大。该段最后一句是说:这是Larry成名后女儿第一次跟父亲去的水下探险。Larry的成名并不是此次探险的不同。

小题2:A

解析:推理判断题 从该段可知,本来像他这样年龄的小孩是不被允许水下探险的(Children his age were not even allowed to dive.,然而他是个例外(He had made an exception),并且下水之前,他必须接受至少5小时的理论教育以及5小时以上的和老师一起下水的实践辅导。(Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.),由此推测,A选项正确。

小题3:A

解析:推理判断题 第三段告诉我们,Larry潜入深水中,一些危险区域也阻扰不了他的深水搜寻(Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.)。而根据常识,在深水中人呆在铁笼中以防危险的突发(如海底动物的袭击)。故选A。

小题4:D

解析:句意理解与推测题 第四段告诉我们,有个人免费带他在水中在不同的区域探险,这样他得以亲眼目睹到30多种以上类型的海洋生物(The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.),可以想象多么地其乐融融!以致忘记了时间,忘记了去了多少个地方,忘记了拍了多少张相片。所以D 选项正确。

小题5:A

解析:细节理解题 从最后一段得知,Larry看着他女儿,希望她能继承他家的传统(He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.);瞧着她的勇敢劲儿,肯定能变为一个成功的水下探险者(This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.)。故A选项正确。
