TheWaterAngel【答案】（1）A（2）C（3）B（4）D【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，远足者低估夏日的CamelbackMountain同时高估自己的能力，所以在远足途中遇到麻烦，Cullymore了解情况后决定帮助他们。Cullymore通过在炎炎夏日给那些远足者提供水而被人们亲切地称为“水天使”。（1）考查段落大意。根据第一段中的”FromJunetoSeptember,thetemperaturecaneasilysurpassthecenturymark“；”Signswarnthatthetrailis‘extremelydifficult’“；”Ifyoucontinue,apostedchecklistsuggestsatleastaliterofwaterperperson.“和“Ifyou'rehalfwaythroughyourwater,turnaround!”可知在夏天去CamelbackMountain远足是非常艰难的，原因有两个：一个是温度很高，另一个是水。故选A。（2）考查细节理解。根据第三段中的”Theyunderestimatethemountain,andtheyoverestimatewhattheycando,andtheygetthemselvesintrouble.“可知人们低估了这座山，同时高估了自己的能力，因此他们陷入麻烦中，即对情况感到过于乐观导致他们涉险。故选C。（3）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的”Theywerelucky,hesaidpointingtoCullymore.‘WeranintothisGoodSamaritanhere.’”可知AustinHill说他们很幸运，因为他们遇到了Cullymore这个乐善好施的人，故推测Cullymore救了他。故选B。（4）考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“Hehashelpedhydratesomanyhikersthathehasearnedaheavenlynickname:theWaterAngel.”和最后一段中的“Andwiththat,theWaterAngelgoesinsearchofanotherhikerinneed.”以及文章主要内容可知，本文主要叙述了Cullymore通过在山上给登山者发水来帮助他们，从而得到“水天使”的昵称，即本文主要讲述“水天使”的故事。故选D。【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断，段落大意和主旨大意四个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。2．阅读理解

“ThebestpartaboutgoingonexchangeinParisisfallinginlovewiththecityinyourownuniqueway.Everyone'sexperienceofParisisdifferent.Iknowmineisuniqueandspecialtome,myownlittlepiecesofParis”可知，给作者留下最深的印象是他在这个城市的独特经历。而从上文可知，他在巴黎体验到了不同的风土人情，不同的文化。故选B。【点评】本题考点涉及推理判断，词义猜测和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，要求考生根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。3．阅读理解
