Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their intentions are pletely unrelated to the festive time of the year.It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle. After a while the whistle blew. It was like throwing a bucket of small fish into a tank of sharks. I told my wife that if we obtained a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the pile of bikes began to gradually decrease in size, I saw my “polite” opportunity to wrap my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it up and suddenly felt some mild resistance. I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his presence. He wore lots of belts of metal studded leather around both arms and even his neck. Tattoos(文身) were an obvious passion of his.I started to give up the box but he gently pushed it into my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” My wife and I went to the checkout, paid for the bike and went home. All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best gift I had ever received for Christmas. The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(預(yù)想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。作者和妻子想在黑色星期五大搶購(gòu)時(shí)給兒子買輛自行車，無奈百貨商店里人山人海。作者本想放棄，沒想到一個(gè)陌生人把自行車盒子讓給了他。這讓作者改變了之前對(duì)他人的偏見。4How did the author feel when going into the store?AThe crowd was like small fish.BThey might not get the bike.CHe was excited to do the shopping.DThe whistle was blown too late.B解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的最后一句可知，作者進(jìn)入商店時(shí)已經(jīng)做好了買不到自行車的打算，故選B項(xiàng)。5What happened when the author was buying the bike?AHe was scared by a mans look at first.BA gentleman bought the bike for him.CA stranger helped him lift the box.DHe gave up the bike he first touched.A解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“I looked up to see.Frightening was not the word to describe his presence.”可知，“嚇人”這個(gè)詞已經(jīng)不足以形容這個(gè)人的出現(xiàn)了。故選A項(xiàng)。6What did the author learn from the experience?ALook before you leap.BCustom is a second nature.CDoing is better than saying.DDont judge a book by its cover.D解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中對(duì)陌生人的描寫可知，作者一開始因陌生人的外表而覺得他是個(gè)可怕的人；根據(jù)第四段的內(nèi)容可知，陌生人把盒子讓給了作者，作者由此發(fā)出感慨“The kindness of a stranger broke all preconceived notions(預(yù)想) I may have had of stereotypes and prejudices.”，即陌生人的善意打破了作者對(duì)他人的偏見，讓作者知道不能以貌取人。故選D項(xiàng)。7What is the best title of the passage?ABlack Friday SalesBMy Sons Best BikeCThe Best Christmas GiftDA Strange GentlemanC解析：標(biāo)題歸納題。文章講述了作者和妻子為兒子買自行車作為圣誕禮物時(shí)受到了陌生人的幫助的故事，作者認(rèn)為那一時(shí)刻是他收到過的最好的圣誕節(jié)禮物。故C項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題最佳。C(2018昆明市高三復(fù)習(xí)適應(yīng)性檢測(cè))Spider monkeys have long，thin arms with hooklike hands that allow them to swing through the trees. They do not have opposable thumbs(對(duì)生拇指)The brownheaded spider monkey has a prehensile(纏繞性的) tail，which means it can grasp and can be used like a fifth leg to grab trees. During the day，the spider monkey searches for fruits，which make up the main part of its diet. They will also eat flowers，seeds，leaves，and small insects during the dry season when fruits arent available. They spend most of the daylight hours climbing and swinging through the high branches of trees.The brownheaded spider monkey lives in a large munity of about 20 to 100 male and female monkeys. They split into smaller groups for feeding. Females usually give birth to only a single baby each year or two. Young monkeys are carried on their mothers stomachs until about 16 weeks old. Then they are strong enough to ride on their mothers backs. All brownheaded spider monkey babies are born with pink faces and ears.Spider monkeys hug each other and wrap their tails around each other. They are very intelligent and have strong memories. They were named spider monkeys because they look like spiders as they hang upside down from their tails with their arms and legs swinging. Their genus(屬) name is Ateles，which means “imperfect”. This refers to the fact that they dont have thumbs.Hunting the brownheaded spider monkey is now barred in Ecuador，a country in northwestern South America，but humans have killed them for their meat for hundreds of years.【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了蜘蛛猴的特征和生活習(xí)性。8Spider monkeys live mostly on _Ainsects BfruitsCflowers DleavesB解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“During the day，the spider monkey searches for fruits，which make up the main part of its diet.”可知，在白天，蜘蛛猴尋找水果，這是它們飲食的主要成分。據(jù)此可知，它們以水果為主食。live on意思是“以為主食”。9What can we learn about spider monkeys?AThey have five legs.BThey live in small groups.CTheir tails can take their weight.DTheir genus is the same as spidersC解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“They were named . their arms and legs swinging.”可知，它們可以靠尾巴倒掛在樹上，讓四肢(在空中)搖擺著。由此推斷，蜘蛛猴的尾巴可以承擔(dān)體重。所以選C。10What does the underlined word “barred” in the last paragraph refer to?APermitted.
