高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
I’ve come back to check on a baby. Just after dusk I’m in a car down a muddy road in the rain, past rows of shackled (戴镣的) elephants, their trunks swinging. I was here five hours before, when the sun was high and hot and tourists were on elephants’ backs.
Walking now, I can hardly see the path with my phone’s flashlight. When the wooden fence post stops me short, I point my light down and follow a current of rainwater across the floor until it washes up against three large, gray feet. A fourth foot twisted above the surface, tied tightly by a short chain and choked by ring of metal spikes (尖刺). When the elephant gets tired and puts her foot down, the spikes press deeper into her ankle.
Meena is four years and two months old, still a child as elephants go. Khammon Kongkhaw, her caretaker, told me earlier that Meena wears the spiked chain because she tends to kick. Kongkhaw has been responsible for Meena here at Maetaman Elephant Adventure, near Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, since she was 11 months old. He said he keeps her on the spiked chain only during the day and takes it off at night. But it’ s night now.
I ask Jin Laoshen, the Maetaman worker, why her chain is still on. He says he doesn’t know.
Maetaman is one of many animal attractions in and around tourist-crowded Chiang Mai. Meena’s life is set to follow the same track as many of the roughly 3,800 captive (被捕获的) elephants in Thailand. When Meena is too old or sick to give rides—maybe at 55, maybe at 75, she’ll die. If she's lucky, she’ll get a few years of retirement. She'll spend most of her life on a chain.
1.Why does the author decide to come back?
A.To check the baby elephant Meena.
B.To feed those shackled elephants.
C.To release those shackled elephants.
D.To help an injured worker in Maetaman.
2.What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
A.The author is scared walking in the path.
B.Meena is treated badly and very painful
C.Meena only has three healthy legs.
D.One of Meena’s leg is badly broken.
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards those elephants?
A.Indifferent.
B.Critical.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Negative.
4.We can infer that the purpose of the author’s writing is______________.
A.to describe those elephants to attract tourists around the world
B.to draw people’s attention to caring about the fate of those elephants
C.to tell readers the story of a baby elephant in Chiang Mai, Thailand
D.to tell the reason why the number of elephants is decreasing

高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
It was Saturday morning. I heard loud noises of moving furniture in the next room. I could almost feel the excitement of John who was soon going to get a room of his own. I remember my own feelings when I was 13. I knew how much he longed for his right to privacy when he was sharing a room with his younger brother, Robot. He said, “Mum, can I please have a room of my own? I could use Jeff’s. He won’t mind.”
It was true that Jeff had graduated from college and flown from the nest. But would he mind? The room was the place where I told him a thousand stories and we had a thousand talks. As close as we were, though, the time came when Jeff needed a door between us. His life was spreading into areas that had less to do with family. I no longer could—or should—know everything about him.
It turned out that getting Jeff’s permission was easy. He said, “Of course, Mum, it would be selfish of me to hold on to it.” Then his voice softened, “Mum, I won’t be living at home again— you know that.” Behind his glasses, his eyes were lit with all the love. There were no doors closed here—they had all opened up again.
As John and I were cleaning the room, I fixed my eyes on Jeff’s things around me and could almost touch the little boy I knew was gone forever. I looked at the room and, in my heart, I let it go. To hold on would be, as Jeff said, selfish. Now it was time for John, shouldering through the door, his eyes bright with promise of independence, to disappear behind the door. It was time for letting go to happen again.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. John was eager to get a room of his own.
B. Jeff was moving to live with his brother.
C. Jeff refused to let his brother have his room.
D. Jeff volunteered to give his room to John.
2.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably means “Jeff_______.”
A. finally flew out of the house
B. would have less to do with his family
C. needed his right to privacy
D. got tired of those familiar stories
3.How did the author feel about his children’s sense of independence?
A. Delighted. B. Confused.
C. Jealous. D. Embarrassed.
4.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the children did not like to live with adults
B. all her three kids made the author feel depressed
C. none of the members in the family thought the same way
D. the author loved and missed the time together with her kids
