基础题型保分练(一) A(2017陕西省高三教学质量检测试题一)Shortly after the war, my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just returned from abroad.He had rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there.We understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries.I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed; but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales. He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in！” cried out my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room.When the dust began to clear, a strange sight met our eyes.A large part of the ceiling had fallen down, falling right on to the pillow of my bed.I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncles stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs, not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads.We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country.This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either!语篇解读：本文主要讲述了作者兄弟俩和国外归来的叔叔一起在乡间小屋里度过一晚的故事。1Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage?ABecause the roof of the cottage was falling.BBecause the cottage was in bad condition.CBecause he was used to living abroad.DBecause there was no furniture in it.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“We understood the reason for this after our .making the whole house damp.”可知，叔叔租来的小屋居住条件比较差，因此他不经常住。2When they opened the bedroom door, they could see nothing at first because _.Ait was completely dark insideBthere was too much dust in the airCsomething strange blinded themDit was too bright inside解析：选B细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“When we .opened the bedroom door, we could see nothing at first because of the thick clouds of dust which filled the room.”可知，作者他们看不清楚是因为空气中有太多的灰尘。3The writer felt glad that he had stayed up late because _.Ahe did not miss the exciting storiesBhe spent more time with his uncleChe had a lucky escapeDhe saw a strange sight解析：选C细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncles stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.”可知，作者庆幸自己熬夜听故事，从而躲过一劫。4Which of the following can best describe the writers uncle?AAdventurous and good at storytelling.BHumorous and good at making jokes.CDependable and generous with money.DConsiderate and sensitive to danger.解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“his many adventures in distant countries”和第二段最后一句中的“but I could not bear to miss any of my uncles exciting tales”以及最后一段最后一句“This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either！”可推知，叔叔很擅长讲故事并且具有冒险精神。B(2017石家庄市高三复习教学质量检测一)UberUber is available in over 70 cities throughout 40 countries worldwide.You can either choose a typical Uber unmarked car or a regular taxi.The app can show you where drivers are, so you know how long youll be waiting.You can also get fare quotes (报价) in advance.Your payment source is linked to the app and is automatically charged, so no physical money is ever needed.LyftLyft is a service that is also available in many large cities in the US.However, it offers something different, one of which is Lyft Line.With this service, you can find people that take the same route on a daily basis as you and split the fare with them.Lyfts regular service lets you easily see where rides are, catch one, and easily pay right within the app.Easy TaxiEasy Taxi is available in 86 cities across 26 countries and lets you quickly browse through maps and find locations youd like to be picked up at.From there, just make sure there are taxis in your area.Confirm your ride and then pay for it within the Easy Taxi app.Once you book a ride, you should see the taxis plate number and phone number appear on the map, making it easy for you to pick out both the car and the driver.CurbCurb, formerly Taxi Magic, is currently available in around 60 cities across the United States as well as select cities in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Mexico.It ties in with taxi companies and their drivers.As your taxi makes its way to your location, youll be able to track its progress inside the app.You can link a payment account to Curb to pay your fare through the app.You can also pay in cash.5Which app is available in the most countries?AUber.BLyft.CEasy Taxi.
