Module 4Section .阅读理解2013江西高考 The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not preventW1 the damp cold of Denniss Swamp(沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp. “So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？” “Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story，” warned Jack. “Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldnt have chosen this place！”S “OK, but dont say I didnt warnW2 you，” said Jack, and he began his tale. “Way back in timeP1, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days，the area looked quite differentit was covered withP2 tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud ofP3 his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“You are clearing too much land， warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuseW3 it. ”“Silly fool， said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just jealous! ”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied onP4 them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.” “What happened？” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire. “The land hit backjust as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，”laughed Tom. “Plants cant.” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring atP5 Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughingP6. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Toms face. It was a while before Tom could appreciateW4 the joke. 1.

B考查推理判断。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack多次警告他们这个故事吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，可知讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。3. D考查细节理解。由第八段“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill become wealthier. Hes just jealous！”可知他想有更多的土地，种更多的庄稼，变得更富有，还认为老人在嫉妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他想种更多的庄稼。4. B考查细节理解。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Toms face.”可知他晕倒的原因是因为他被常春藤吓到了。5. A考查推理判断。综观全文可知贪婪的Dennis因为其贪婪，结果失去了一切，故A项“贪多必失”，符合语境。W重点单词1. prevent v. 阻止 2. warn v. 警告 3. abuse v. 滥用 4. appreciate v. 欣赏，感激 P重点短语1. in time 及时，迟早 2. be covered with 被覆盖 3. be proud of 以而自豪/骄傲 4. rely on 依靠，依赖，指望 5. stare at 凝视，盯着看 6. burst out laughing突然大笑S长难句译文：如果有什么害怕的，你就不会选择这个地方了。剖析：这是一个主从复合句，if引导的是虚拟条件句，与现在事实相反，用过去时，be动词用were；主句与过去事实相反，用would_have过去分词。.七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Business is the organized approach to providing customers with the goods and services they want.

D推理判断题。本题的后一句出现了一个新名词nonprofits(非盈利)，而前文的内容是在说大多数企业都在寻求利润，那这里语义的突然变化就提示了我们空格处所填内容应该与seek to make a profit(寻求利益)语义相反，而与nonprofit相同，因为只有这样才能自然的引出下文。纵观选项，只有答案D出现了however，表示语义的转折，所以正确答案为D。2.C推理判断题。根据文意，前文提到的these organizations are primarily nongovernmental service providers中的these organizations实指nonprofits organizations，所以此处2题的内容应该是对nongovernmental service providers(非政府服务提供商)的进一步解释。纵观选项，只有答案C是在举例子，而且也出现了关键词nonprofit，所以正确答案为C。3. G推理判断题。这道题的解题方法就是我们说的充分利用“指路词”。下文中出现了One is.，The third relates.，可见本空是个总起句，概括了什么东西包含有三个方面。纵观选项，只有答案G出现了three，且主语planning正好复现了第二段首句出现的techniques of planning，所以正确答案为G。4. E推理判断题。还是依靠“指路词”，文中出现过了第一和第三，所以本空肯定描述的是第二方面。纵观选项，只有答案E出现了the second，所以答案为E。5. A推理判断题。观察第二段可知，商务管理中涉及的techniques of planning, direction均已经提到，只差最后一个control(控制)还未提及，所以本空一定和control有关。纵观选项，只有答案A出现了关键词control，所以答案为A。. 书面表达2013安徽高考假设你校英语社团举办以“讲求文明，从我做起”为主题的征文活动，请你以“On the Way to School”为题，写一篇英语短文。内容主要包括：1遵守交通法规；2.注意举止文明。注意： 1.词数120左右； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3.短文中不能出现与本人相关的信息； 4.短文的题目已为你拟好，不计入总词数。_One possible vers
