马鞍山市2014高考英语阅读理解、动词短语精讲讲练（24）及答案ano one knows where the phrase “indian summer” got started. we are sure that the phrase was wellknown by the year 1778, because crevecoeur, an american writer, described it like this: “a hard frost(霜冻)follows the autumn rains. this prepares the ground to receive the snows of winter. but before the snows come, the earth turns warm once again and there are a few days of smoke and mildness called indian summer.”there is a story about indian summer that goes back to the very first settlers of the new world. the first frost meant winter was coming. snow would soon follow. the indians, seeing the settlers preparing for winter, told them not to hurry. the weather would turn warm, mild breezes would blow and the sky would turn soft and smoky. and so it did. the sun became hotter, and a bright warm smoke flowed over the fields and woods. the settlers, remembering the words of the indians, called this wonderful period indian summer. but the indians have their own stories about this late period of warm weather. one of their stories is about a god called shawondasee. shawondasee was a sad god because he had lost the love of a tall and beautiful indian maiden. the sad and beautiful story caught the imagination of the american poet henry wadsworth longfellow. in 1855 he included the story of shawondasee in his poem “the song of hiawatha”. the story goes like this：god shawondasee, fat and lazy, lived under the dreamy and neverending southern sun. he sent birds and wild geese to the north, as well as melons and grapes. he smoked a big pipe, and as the smoke rose, it filled the sky with dreamy softness, gave a bright shine to the water and brought the tender indian summer to the melancholy northland.there is something about this period of warm weather that gives people a lift and makes them feel warm and happy before the long snows of winter come. 5which season does “indian summer” refer to?a. early spring. b. late summer.c. midautumn. d. early winter.6which of the following best describes the weather of this period of time?a. hot and humid. b. warm and mild.c. cool and bright. d. cold and smoky.7the indians explanation to this natural phenomenon is that god shawondasee _.a. lived under the dreamy southern sunb. took pity on the homeless settlersc. smoked a lot because of his bad moodd. lent his smoking pipe to the indians8what is the meaning of the underlined word “melancholy”？a. sad and lonely. b. dreamy and exciting.c. soft and musical. d. warm and happy.答案5d。词义指代判断题。依据文章中第一段及第三段内容可知indian summer指的是初冬，即early winter。故d项正确。6b。细节理解题。由文章第一段第四句中的“but before the snows come, the earth turns warm once again and there are a few days of smoke and mildness called indian summer.”可知，这期间的天气是温暖柔和的。7c。细节理解判断题。依据文章倒数第二段和倒数第三段内容可知，c项正确。8a。词义理解题。依据文章倒数第三段的“shawondasee was a sad god”以及倒数第二段中的“he sent birds and wild geese to the north, as well as melons and grapes.”可知答案a项为该词的词义。76. in the new program 3+x if your dream to be a doctor , you must take chemistry as elective course. a. realizes b. comes true c. comes off d. comes out77. according to property inheritance law, the farm shall him on his uncles death. a. come over b. come off c. come to d. come upon78. after half a years practice he began to himself a worker in each aspect . a. compares; to b. compare; with c. come to; after d. care ; for79. television_ news to all parts of the country . a. communicates b. covers c. come across d. spreads80. poets often _ spring to hope; autumn to harvest . a. contrast b. communicate c. compare d. call81. with the aid of public bids(公开招标) our town government decided to _ the two villages by a highway. a. joinb. connectc. united. keep82. - what do you think of john?
