V.閱讀理解。

A

People in Los Angeles are known for their love of cars. The city is very large, and its public transportation is slow. So people drive everywhere. But now, a group of bicyclists are trying to get people out of their cars and on bikes.

Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”

Roger Rosas drives to work. "You always have to make sure you look to the other side because someone would rush across by bike. Or you can easily get into an accident. "

To make bicycling safer, some people who live and work near each other are riding to work together, which they call a "bike train". Nona Varnado helped create the group L. A. Bike Trains. "You're in a big group. If you're afraid of riding alone, you can now ride with experienced riders. " Nona said that people would feel safer by riding together in a group.??

36. People in Los Angeles are known for their love of_________.

【解析】細節理解題。由第二段Devon Fitzgerald says he has to be careful when he rides his bike in the streets. “A lot of people are in a rush, and it's very difficult to keep careful, for they would rather care for their speed than your safety.” Devon Fitzgerald說，在街上騎車的時候，他必須十分小心，許多人都十分匆忙，保持小心是很困難的，因為人們更關心如何超過你，而不是關心你的安全。可知，Devon Fitzgerald知道在街上騎車是很危險的。故選B。

38. Devon Fitzgerald likes riding a bike better because__________.

A. it's much cheaper?? ????????? B. it is full of fun

C. it's safer everywhere?? ?????? D. it’s much easier

【答案】D

【解析】細節理解題。由第二段Although riding a bike to work can be dangerous, he prefers it to a car. “It's much simpler than driving a car. For example, I don't have to worry about parking.”盡管騎自行車去上班很危險，但他還是更喜歡騎單車，“騎車比開車更方便，舉個例子，我不必為了停車而煩惱。”可知，Devon Fitzgerald選擇騎車是因為更簡便，故選D。

A. riding in a “bike train” can help people feel safer

B. Devon Fitzgerald helped to create L. A. Bike Trains

C. Roger Rosas prefers riding a bike to driving a car

B

I still remembered my first day of second grade. I was led to a room. No teacher yet. Girls talking. Boys trying to kill each other.

I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.

“What’re you doing?” she said.

“Writing to 100,” I replied.

“Is that you can do?”

“No,” I said.

Then I rose from my seat to get my pencil sharpener. I had no idea that when I stood, the desk would fall over and hurt her leg.

Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend. Wherever we went--to school or church or basketball games, Jane saved me a seat or I saved one for her.

Many years later, after college, I moved to California and married. Jane stayed in our hometown to be a social worker. We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often, especially at the start of the school year.

TV ads try to tell us what children need for school—new shoes, clothes, backpacks. But really, children’s needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.

For years, I feared how people saw me. But one day, I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind.

My grandson Henry recently finished his preschool and received a prize for “Friendship”. Even an Olympic medal wouldn't make me prouder! I think children need to know that they are loved. They need to know that they have all they need and the best way to win friends is to be one.

40. When she came into the classroom, the writer ________.

A. went to talk with Jane quickly?

B. helped Jane write the numbers to 100

C. worked quietly at her desk alone

D. was afraid that others would fight with her

【答案】C

【解析】（2017荊州英語）細節理解題。由第二段I took some paper and a pencil, picked a desk, and went to work. Minutes later, a girl came over and sat on top of my desk.我拿了一些紙和一只鉛筆，找了張桌子，然后開始寫字。幾分鐘后，一個女孩走了過來然后坐在我桌子上。可知，作者沒有別的小伙伴，而且安靜地自己在寫字。故選C。

41. From the passage we know that__________.

A. the writer's leg was hurt on the first day of school

B. the two girls were close friends until Jane died

C. Jane often helped the writer to do some social work

D. the two girls stayed in the same city after college

【答案】B

【解析】細節理解題。由Her name was Jane. From that day on--she was my best friend.她叫簡，從那天開始，她就成了我最好的朋友；We were friends for more than 50 years. After her death seven years ago, I still think of her often,我們成為朋友到現在已經五十年了，在她去時后的七年，我還是經常想起她。可知，直到簡去世，我們都一直都是朋友。故選B。

42. （2017荊州英語）Henry received a prize for "Friendship" probably because _________.

A. he was kind to others?? ??????? B. he was smart at his schoolwork

C. he was loved by his grandma? ?? D. he joined in the Olympics

【答案】A

【解析】細節理解題。由I finally understood. I didn't need to be smart or pretty or popular. I just needed to be kind. 最后我想明白了，我不需要很聰明，或很漂亮，或十分受歡迎，我只需要與人為善；Henry贏得了友誼，是因為他待人和善。故選A。

43.The best title of this article would be__________.

A. My Best Friend Jane?????? ??? B. How to Choose Friends

C. My First Day at School ??? ??? D. Friendship Values?

【答案】D

【解析】（2017荊州英語）主旨歸納題。作者由與自己最好的朋友Jane的故事引出了自己對友誼的感想，由children’s needs are simple. Besides the basics—to be fed, cared for, and loved—they need the gift of friendship.孩子們的需要很簡單，除了一些基本需求——吃飽穿暖，被照顧，被愛——他們需要友誼。以及最后一段可知，作者認為友誼對孩子們十分重要，文章中心意思是闡述了友誼的價值，故選D。

C

The winter of 1948 was very difficult for our family of eight living in Knoxvile, Tennessee. Unfortunately, Dad became ill and soon was out of a job. I was only 8 years old and my younger brother, Buddy was 7. After school we went to pick coal(煤) that fell from the coal train along the railroad near our home. When the train slowed down, we ran alongside it. After the train passed, we picked up the fallen coal.

One day, the train stopped for a short time unusually. My brother and I were digging around in the snow when the train’s fireman came to the window and shouted to us, “Why are you boys digging in the snow? Are you looking for gold?” he laughed.

“No, sir,” I replied, “We are finding coal.”

“Why doesn’t your daddy buy coal? It’s really dangerous here.”

“Our daddy is very sick and we have no money to buy food and coal,” I answered.

The fireman turned and went inside. After a moment, he shouted again. “Hey! Bring that coal bucket(桶子) here. I got something for you.” Then the fireman filled our bucket with clean coal. We were happy with his gift, and we knew we could go home early that day.

He smiled the kindest and warmest smile I had ever seen. “You two boys come here the day after tomorrow and I’ll throw off some coal.”

Two days later, Buddy and I stood by the railroads as the train slowed down. The fireman waved to us, then disappeared. Suddenly, some coal and a piece of red cloth came out. In the red cloth were two pieces of bubble gum(泡泡糖) and a new one-dollar bill.

All that winter, three days a week, we received a bucket of coal, a gift and, sometimes, money. I never knew the person’s full name, but to our family, he was a guardian angel.

C. the train would stop for a while every time near their home

【答案】48-52 BEDAC

【解析】（2017荊州英語）48.由下文He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys playing sports他去上學，做作業，和朋友相見并喜歡運動，可知，這些都是普通學生會做的事，所以Tom像其他青少年一樣，做著這些事情。故選B。

49.由下文Maths and English are important, of course but they need other skills too to help them in today’s world.數學和英語固然重要，但是在如今重要的世界，他們需要一些別的技能來幫助他們生活。可知，此處指的是他認為青少年學會煮飯也是很重要的，故選E。

50.由上文First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips一開始，我叫Tom學做一些簡單的食物如披薩或雞蛋和薯條，可知，下一句應該是Tom進一步學習烹飪，所以他開始看一些菜譜，故選D。

51.由下文I don’t know why, it isn’t difficult and it’s great fun!” Tom says. “我不知道為什么，煮飯不僅不困難，還充滿了樂趣。”所以這里應該是說，Tom的朋友都不會煮飯，Tom表示不能理解，因為他認為做飯是很有趣的一件事，故選A。

52.由上文In the past, Tom didn’t help out at home and his mum wasn’t pleased with him.以前，Tom在家并不幫忙，他的媽媽也不喜歡他這樣。所以此處應表達的是和以前相反的情況，Tom進步了，媽媽也感到非常高興。故選C。
