三、阅读单选
A tree has roots. People have roots too. If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve
it. It’s the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will
understand where it came from.
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text
as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any
good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and
difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps
us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end
of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But
root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you
will become a master word detective.
Let’s look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means
“other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do
with “other”. Examine the word “alternate”. Can you find the Latin root in it?
·If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are
alternating paying.
·If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other
Saturday.
·If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your
“rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
26．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The situation. B．The crime scene.
C．A new and difficult word. D．Everything that is known.
27．If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”?
A．They each pay half. B．Jim pays every time.
C．They take turns paying. D．Their parents pay for them.
28．How does the author explain his ideas about root words?
A．By giving a fact. B．By taking an example.
C．By telling a story. D．By having a discussion.
29．“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root?
A．My brother is my senior by two years. B．He was ill so he was absent from
school.
C．A criminal was sentenced to death by law. D．60 students were present at the sports
meeting.
30．Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage?
(①=paragraph 1 ②=paragraph 2,…)

In ancient times, there was a king who loved flowers. His palace was always decorated

The other day, the king had an idea. He asked his servants to travel to every part of the
country and give every citizen a single orchid seed(种子). He then announced that the person

Everyone in the country then got their own seed. One young man named David was
especially excited about the news, because he had experience in growing flowers himself.David planted his seed in a pot and put it in a place where it would get lots of sunlight.

The king was moved by David’s honesty. Although he did not choose David as the new
king, he gave David a job as a royal court judge(法官). He helieved that David’s honesty

The Horsetail Fall (瀑布) is one of Yosemite National Park’s most amazing views.
Around the second week of February, the setting sun hits the Horsetail Fall at just the rightangle (角度) to light the upper parts of the waterfall. And when conditions are right, the
Horsetail Fall becomes orange and red at sunset. It is like red-hot lava (熔岩) pouring down
from the top of the El Capitan. So, it got the name “firefall”.
The firefall is a perfect match of the weather, the fall, the time and the watching place. It
usually appears on dry, warm and cloudless days. There must be enough flowing water to
make a firefall too. So there must be enough snow on the mountain top, and it turns into water
on warm afternoons.
The sun goes to the best place before the fall in late February. And the best time to watch
the fall is 5 to 15 minutes before the sunset. Only at this time can visitors see the firefall. The
El Capitan Picnic Area is the best place to watch, because it is close to the fall and is perfect
to set up cameras and tents.
Every year in February, thousands of photographers come to watch the firefall. Although
the view may appear just minutes before sunset, many of them have to come hours earlier to
get a right place to set their cameras in time. “I’m just saying that the Yosemite Firefall is
something you don’t want to miss during the winter,” says Kate Moore, a traveller and the
lead content creator for ParkedInParadise.com.
36．Paragraph 1 mainly tells us ________.
A．how the firefall got its name B．why it’s easy to see the firefall
C．who was the first to find the firefall D．on which day we can visit the frefall
37．What can we know about the firefall?
A．It lasts for half an hour before the sunset.
B．It usually appears on wet, warm and cloudy days.
C．Rivers provide enough flowing water to make a fall.
D．Its best watching place is the El Capitan Picnic Area.
38．From the words of Kate Moore, we can infer that ________.
A．the firefall is worth seeing B．it’s dangerous to watch the firefall
C．the firefall brings little surprise D．it’s a waste of time to visit the firefall
39．What’s the theme of the passage?
A．Art. B．Nature. C．Technology. D．History.
