Mr. Eckerd at the end of the street was a different fell Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

Mr. Eckerd at the end of the street was a different fellow with a different kind of house. He let kids from the neighborhood come to see his house, but only if they had written permission from their parents, and if he’d already spoken to the parents before.
What made it so different? He shared his home with rescued animals that the county couldn’t keep. He had the permission to have things like monkeys, large cats, and other strange creatures. His house had the ivy(常春藤)-covered brick wall and the iron gate across the driveway. Once you went inside, the hedges(树藤)lining the driveway were carved into the shapes of animals. There were other pretty plants on the grounds, too.
The old brick house held a lot of surprises. The double doors with the lion’s head door knockers opened into a large flat entryway. In the wooden board walls all around, there were fish tanks with colorful fishes. The ceilings were painted with scenes of plants and rare animals. Room opened off from there. Continuing down the hall, you came to a large courtyard, which had been caged in, partly open to the sky .A large group of tiny monkeys shook up and down trees. You had to walk through a caged tunnel into other parts of the house. They called out to whoever walked in, hoping for treats of fruits, nuts, and seeds. Behind that, the hall continued to a room full of snakes and lizards. It felt like a desert in that room, so dry and hot. It was not everyone’s favorite room, but it certainly was interesting. The final room was actually out back, and definitely not something to miss. It was much like a large glass bird cage or a greenhouse. It was there that you would usually find Mr Eckerd on a bench next to some carvings of jungle animals. He was watching the Bengal tiger that wandered back and forth inside the cage.
Mr. Eckerd’s house was the strangest and most unique place in town, a place very well worth seeing.

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文。叙述的是Mr. Eckerd的家与众不同。他的家里有花，养着一些动物。他的家在这城镇是一个最奇怪最独一无二的地方，是一个很值得看的地方。
【小题1】B细节理解题。根据第二段He shared his home with rescued animals that the county couldn’t keep. He had the permission to have things like monkeys, large cats, and other strange creatures. His house had the ivy(常春藤)-covered brick wall and the iron gate across the driveway.他家里养着一些被营救的动物。他允许像猴子，大型猫科动物，和其他一些奇怪的生物。他家有常青藤覆盖着墙，在车道上有铁栅。
【小题2】D推理判断题。根据第三段中In the wooden board walls all around, there were fish tanks with colorful fishes.在木板墙的四周，有好多鱼缸，在鱼缸里有丰富多彩的鱼。A large group of tiny monkeys shook up and down trees. 一大群小猴子上、下摇动着树。Behind that, the hall continued to a room full of snakes and lizards.在那后面，大厅里继续充满了蛇和蜥蜴的房间。从上面解释可看出Mr. Eckerd的家里有A、B、C三项里的动物，但D项在文中没有提到，所以D Elephants在Mr. Eckerd的家里没有被养。
【小题3】D推理判断题。根据第三段中the hall continued to a room full of snakes and lizards. It felt like a desert in that room, so dry and hot. It was not everyone’s favorite room,句意是：大厅里继续充满了蛇和蜥蜴的房间。在那房间感觉像沙漠，所以又干又热。它不是每个人都喜爱的房间。因此推测这个房间最不受欢迎。故选D
【小题4】A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句It was there that you would usually find Mr Eckerd on a bench next to some carvings of jungle animals. He was watching the Bengal tiger that wandered back and forth inside the cage.在那里，你通常会在丛林动物雕刻旁边的一条长凳上找到爱克德。他正在观看孟加拉虎在笼子里来回徘徊。从这里可以推断出Mr. Eckerd最喜爱的动物是老虎。故选A
