2018下半年全國(guó)英語等級(jí)考試三級(jí)閱讀理解模考試題

　　Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions(探險(xiǎn))but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him. She was only ten years old. This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for.

　　Larry first began diving when he was his daughter’s age. Similarly, his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions. Since then, he had never looked back. Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore. He had hated them. They were either too big or too small. Then, there was the instructor. He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father. He had made an exception. Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide. Children his age were not even allowed to dive.

　　After the first expedition, Larry’s later diving adventures only got better and better. There was never a dull moment. In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back, Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean. Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search. Sometimes, he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him. At least, he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures.

　　Larry’s first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands. There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them. Fortunately for him, a man offered to take him around the different Spots for free. Larry didn’t even know what the time was, how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken. The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.

　　Larry looked at his daughter. She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age. He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition. Already, she looked like she was much braver than had been then. This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.

　　參考答案及解析

　　小題1:D

　　小題2:A

　　小題3:A

　　小題4:D

　　小題5:A

　　【文章大意】這是一篇記敘文。Larry小時(shí)候，特別受優(yōu)待——接受了水下探險(xiǎn)的理論和實(shí)踐的教育。在父親的帶領(lǐng)下開始了驚奇的水下探險(xiǎn)之旅，并不斷地成長(zhǎng)。最后成為一個(gè)有名的探險(xiǎn)家。今天，他也要帶著女兒水下探險(xiǎn)，希望女兒能繼承家中傳統(tǒng)，也成為一個(gè)好的水下探險(xiǎn)者。

　　小題1:D

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題 第一段第1，2 句(but this time, it was different. He decided to take his daughter along with him.)告訴我們，Larry再一次進(jìn)行水下探險(xiǎn)，但這一次不同，他決定帶他女兒一起去。所以D選項(xiàng)正確。B選項(xiàng)干擾性較大。該段最后一句是說：這是Larry成名后女兒第一次跟父親去的水下探險(xiǎn)。Larry的成名并不是此次探險(xiǎn)的不同。

　　小題2:A

　　解析：推理判斷題 從該段可知，本來像他這樣年齡的小孩是不被允許水下探險(xiǎn)的(Children his age were not even allowed to dive.，然而他是個(gè)例外(He had made an exception)，并且下水之前，他必須接受至少5小時(shí)的理論教育以及5小時(shí)以上的和老師一起下水的實(shí)踐輔導(dǎo)。(Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide.)，由此推測(cè)，A選項(xiàng)正確。

　　小題3:A

　　解析：推理判斷題 第三段告訴我們，Larry潛入深水中，一些危險(xiǎn)區(qū)域也阻擾不了他的深水搜尋(Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search.)。而根據(jù)常識(shí)，在深水中人呆在鐵籠中以防危險(xiǎn)的突發(fā)(如海底動(dòng)物的襲擊)。故選A。

　　小題4:D

　　解析：句意理解與推測(cè)題 第四段告訴我們，有個(gè)人免費(fèi)帶他在水中在不同的區(qū)域探險(xiǎn)，這樣他得以親眼目睹到30多種以上類型的海洋生物(The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures.)，可以想象多么地其樂融融!以致忘記了時(shí)間，忘記了去了多少個(gè)地方，忘記了拍了多少張相片。所以D 選項(xiàng)正確。

　　小題5:A

　　解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題 從最后一段得知，Larry看著他女兒，希望她能繼承他家的傳統(tǒng)(He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition.);瞧著她的勇敢勁兒，肯定能變?yōu)橐粋�(gè)成功的水下探險(xiǎn)者(This was the key to a successful underwater expedition.)。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
