A(2024 扬州)
One day in autumn, Squire Gordon, my master, went on a trip into town. John, my caretaker, went with him. I pulled the cart. The weather was rainy and windy, but we travelled happily.
Gordon's business took a long time. We didn't leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, "I have never been out in such a storm!" Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.
We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, Master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare(敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. "Go on, Beauty," said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip(鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.
"There's something wrong, sir," said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. "Come on, Beauty." But I knew that the bridge was not safe.
Just then the man on the other side saw us.
"Hey! Halloo! Stop!" he cried.
"What's the matter?" shouted my master.
"The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you'll be into the river."
"Thank you for saving us, Beauty!" said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.
When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, "Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous."
John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.

答案： A
文体:记叙文(小说)
文章大意:本文节选自小说《黑骏马》,文章以黑骏马的视角讲述了在一个暴风雨的下午,黑骏马运用自己的聪明化解了危险的故事。
1. B 细节理解。根据第二段中“We didn’t leave until late afternoon … ‘I have never been out in such a storm!’”可知,Mr Gordon、John以及黑骏马离开小镇回家时,遇到了一场大的暴风雨。
2. A 细节排序。根据第三段“We came to a wooden bridge … said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip … He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.”和第八段“The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you’ll be into the river。”以及最后一段中“Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw!”可知,文章的正确发展顺序是:他们来到一座木桥前,准备过河;主人用鞭子抽打黑骏马;黑骏马在桥上拒绝服从他的主人;一个人警告他们不要过桥;黑骏马由于它的决定得到了很好的回报。
3. C 推理判断。根据第三段中“He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward。”可知,黑骏马被主人狠狠抽了一鞭,但是仍然不敢过桥,这个细节可以推断黑骏马知道过桥很危险。
Plus易错提示
该题易误选B(水漫过桥中间),但该细节仅说明桥的状态,而C项(被鞭打仍不前进)直接体现马感知到了危险,更贴合题意。
4. A 推理判断。根据第三段中“We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, Master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong。”可知,他们过桥时,看到水已经漫过了桥的中间,但是黑骏马起初还是打算试探一下,可知他是勇敢的。黑骏马在试探过后,立马察觉到了危险,说明他是聪明的。
