Ⅰ.阅读理解ARoyale is surrounded by deep blue waters of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake on Earth. The only way to get there is by boat or sea plane. The National Park Service operates shuttle boats that take visitors to Isle Royale. The boats leave from two Michigan ports. A boat trip to Isle Royale takes three to five hours. Waters are often extremely rough.Modern copper mining began in the late 1800s, resulting in large areas of the island being burned. This led to settlement development. Soon, Isle Royale became popular for summer homes. It became a national park on April 3, 1940. In 1980, officials named it an International Biosphere Reserve (生物圈保护区) because of its unique ecosystem.Isle Royale offers hiking, camping, boating, and even scuba diving. The National Park Service protects 11 sunken (沉没的) boats for divers to explore. They are reminders of Lake Superior's commercial shipping history. The sunken wooden ship called The America is one of the most popular dive sites. The America carried passengers, mail, and supplies to many towns along the shores of Lake Superior. It first launched in 1898, and was used until 1928, when it was damaged. It sank to the bottom of the lake soon after.Visitors to Isle Royale share the trails with a well-studied population of wolves. Scientists believe wolves walked there during a freeze of the lake sometime in the 1940s. Researchers closely record their populationnumbers. Much of the research takes place during the winter, when the trees are bare. The researchers fly over the island to observe the animals from above.Animal research is the only winter activity going on at Isle Royale. The national park is closed each year in late October because of the terrible weather conditions and reopens in spring time the next year.But for the other months of the year, Isle Royale offers green forests, and clear blue waters. Its excellent scenery and unusual location keep visitors returning year after year.篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

作者通过自己的亲身经历领悟到一个道理：独立并不意味着要拒绝帮助，接受帮助胜过拒绝帮助，它不仅能帮你摆脱困境，还能帮助你明白生活的真谛。
1．A.struggling B．dealingC．confused D．satisfied答案：A struggle with意为“与……作斗争”，根据上下文逻辑关系可判断，“我”还在同“是否要寻求帮助”作斗争。
2．A.accept B． offerC．seek D． desire答案：B 根据下文的when my offers可分析判断，“我”甚至会给别人提供帮助。
3．A.occasionally B． frequentlyC．usually D． seldom答案：D 由语境可知，当“我”给别人提供帮助而被拒绝时，很少会心甘情愿地走开。
这与下文“我”拒绝别人的帮助时，对方还是留下来陪“我”的经历有关。
occasionally“偶尔”；frequently “经常地”；usually“通常”；seldom“很少”。
4．A.range B． symbolC．way D． mix答案：D 句意：有时一个人的独立是骄傲、勇敢、顽强和运气的结合。
ran ge“一系列”；symbol“象征”；way“方式”；mix“混合，结合”。
5．A.adventurous B． braveC．independent D． creative答案：C 根据文章第一句以及下文的内容可分析判断，“我”是一个非常独立的人。
6．A.money B． equipmentC．directions D． suggestions答案：C 根据第6空后面的“choosing instead to struggle with maps and signs until I found my way”分析判断，“我”曾经旅行时从不问路。
money“钱”；equipment“装备”；direction“方向”；suggestion“建议”。
7．A.happened B． messedC．changed D． disappeared答案：C 根据第一段的最后一句中的all these changes分析判断，此处表示一切都变了。
故选C项。
8．A.attacked B． caughtC．followed D． impressed答案：A 根据下文提到的“我”的未婚夫之死可分析，他受到了箱形水母的攻击。
attack“攻击”。
9．A.sunk B． diedC．failed D． recovered答案：B 根据“25 years old”及第13空后面的“Sean's death”可分析判断，Sean 在三分钟之内就死了。
故选B项。
10．pany B． adviceC．comfort D． evidence答案：A 可由上文分析判断，“我”正遭受着未婚夫突然去世的打击，再结合第11空后面的“two young Israeli women stayed”可知，周围的人在问作者是否需要陪伴。
company“陪伴”。
11．A.kept B． preventedC．denied D． suggested答案：B 由上下文可知，“我”固执的骄傲和习惯的力量阻止“我”接受别人提供的帮助。
prevent“阻止”。
12．A.In spite of B． In case ofC．In terms of D． As a result of答案：A 此处表示尽管“我”反对，她们还是留下来陪“我”。

13．A.proof B． newsC．fact D． cause答案：D 根据下一句中的“It was listed as drunk drowning”可知，警方尽力地掩盖肖恩死亡的原因。
cause“原因”。
14．A.medicine B． entertainmentC．fishing D． tourism答案：D 由上下文可知，肖恩因受水母攻击而死亡，警方掩盖其死因是为了避免影响到当地的旅游业。
15．A.must B． needC．should D． could答案：D could have done表示“本来能做，而实际上未做”，此处指那两位以色列女士本来能够离开的，但她们还是留下来陪“我”。
16．A.Therefore B． OtherwiseC．Instead D． Besides答案：C 句意：甚至没告诉“我”，她们却宁可延误自己的日程安排，也不扔下“我”不管。

delay“延误，推迟”。
18．A.When B． WhileC．Because D． If答案：B while“尽管”。
句意：尽管“我”当时没有意识到这一点，但现在“我”相信，如果没有这两位好心的女士，“我”不会从这场灾难中幸存。
19．A.avoided B． experiencedC．survived D． suffered答案：C 结合上一题句意逻辑分析判断。
survive“幸存；存活”。

Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2017·福州质检]My 16－year－old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole.Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safeharbors, so I had no fears for his safety.Still, the firefighter's first words “You need to come up here to the StillwaterRiver” made me catch my breath, and his follow－up words gave me relief W1：“Yourson is OK.”When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton,wrapped W2 with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of thefire engine.I hurried over to him. “You OK？” I asked.“Yeah，” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation W3. I didn't get it from my son, however, who_tended_to_play _his_cards_close_to_his_vest.The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation P1， swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.In an age in whic h the word “hero” is broadcast W4 with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self－centred, but that doesn't mean they have no desire to do good.Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home.
