阅读下列内容，从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
A
Alex and his classmates are working on a project about the Great Lakes. Here is the information sheet they have made.
Part 1: Facts
The Great Lakes—Ontario, Huron, Michigan, Erie and Superior—are five freshwater giants. They span across eight US states and two Canadian provinces.
Part 2: Comparison
● Lake Ontario
This lake has the smallest surface area at 7,336 square miles. Three dams(大坝) control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.
● Lake Huron
This is the second largest lake by surface area in the system and home to Manitoulin Island, the world’s largest freshwater island.
● Lake Michigan
It is joined to Lake Huron by the five-mile-wide Straits(海峡) of Mackinac, though they are still classed as two separate bodies.
● Lake Erie
With a depth of 64 metres, this is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. It is generally the warmest, but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.
● Lake Superior
At 406 metres deep, the distance from the lake’s surface to its deepest point is about the same as the length of four football pitches.
Part 3: A
Covering an area of 94,250 square miles, these huge bodies of water take up more than one-fifth of the world’s total freshwater. The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people, important shipping routes for more than 800 ocean ships, and keep a rich ecosystem for fishing and agriculture. They also support wildlife, the national economy and the environment.
31. Alex draws a map of the Great Lakes. Which number stands for Lake Ontario?

A. ①
B. ②
C. ③
D. ④
32. Alex wants to try ice fishing as early as possible. Which lake will he most probably choose?
A. Lake Superior.
B. Lake Erie.
C. Lake Michigan.
D. Lake Huron.
33. Alex finds something missing in Part 3. Which of the following will he put in the empty box?
A. Value.
B. Change.
C. Protection.
D. Development.

文章大意：本文主要介绍了五大湖的基本事实、湖泊间的对比以及它们的价值。
31. D 细节理解。根据Lake Ontario部分中“Three dams control the flow of water downstream and include locks so boats can enter from the Atlantic.”可知，安大略湖有三座水坝控制着下游的水流，并设有水闸，使船只可以从大西洋进入，故根据地图中标注的水坝数量可知，安大略湖对应数字④。
32. B 细节理解。根据Lake Erie部分中“It is generally the warmest，but also gets frozen more quickly than the others.”可知，伊利湖结冰最早，适合最早尝试冰钓。
33. A 推理判断。根据最后一段中“The Great Lakes provide drinking water for more than 40 million people ... also support wildlife，the national economy and the environment.”可知，五大湖为4000多万人提供饮用水，为800多艘远洋船只提供重要的航运路线，并为渔业和农业保持了丰富的生态系统。它们还支撑着野生动物的生存、国家经济和环境，这应是其“价值”。

B
Inside the hall, the door was shut, and the key lay on the glass stand. Poor Alice, who was about one foot high after taking some drink, found a cake on the floor. She went up and soon ate all the cake.
“How strange! How tall I am!” said Alice. She looked down at her feet—they seemed so far off. In fact, she was now over nine feet high, which meant she still couldn’t get through the door. She sat down, and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of feet not far off. It was the Rabbit that had come back, with a fan in his hand. Alice felt so in need of help from someone, that when he came near, she called out, “If you please, sir, ...” The Rabbit started as if shot, dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible.
Alice picked up the fan and as the hall was hot, she fanned herself. “Dear, dear! How strange all things are today! I do wish to get out of the hall! D” she said.
Then she noticed herself in the glass—she was now not more than two feet high, and still shrinking quite fast. That was the fan! She realized this and dropped it at once, or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon.
Alice was in a sad fear at the quick change. “Things are worse,” said the poor girl. “I was never so small as this. How can I get out?” As she said these words, she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin(下巴) in salt water—her own tears.
Just then Alice noticed a mouse swimming towards her.
“Will it be useful now to speak to this mouse? All things are so strange here. I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.” So she swam up.
—Adapted from Alice in Wonderland

a. Alice ate up a cake.
b. The Rabbit ran away with his fan left.

答案： B
文体：记叙文
文章大意：本文节选自《爱丽丝梦游仙境》，主要讲述了爱丽丝在喝下饮料变小后，又因吃蛋糕变大，随后因扇子快速缩小，并陷入眼泪形成的水池中，最终尝试与老鼠对话的故事。
34. A 细节理解。根据第一段中“She went up and soon ate all the cake.”可知，爱丽丝把蛋糕吃光了，即；根据第二段中“She sat down，and had a good cry till there was a large pool all round her.”可知，爱丽丝坐下，大哭了一场，直到她周围成了一个大水池，即d；根据第三段中“The Rabbit started as if shot，dropped the fan and ran off as fast as possible.”可知，兔子吓了一跳，扔掉扇子，以最快的速度跑开了，即b；根据第五段中“she was now not more than two feet high”可知，爱丽丝身高不足两英尺，即c；根据第六段中“she lost her footsteps and was up to her chin in salt water”可知，泪水几乎淹没爱丽丝，即e。故正确顺序为a—d—b—c—e。
35. D 推理判断。根据第四段中“How strange all things are today！I do wish to get out of the hall!”可知，爱丽丝表达了对现状的厌倦和逃离的愿望。D项“我厌倦了这个地方!”最符合语境。
36. D 词义猜测。根据画线词所在句“she was now not more than two feet high，and still shrinking quite fast”及下文“or she would shrink to the size of an ant”可知，shrinking应表示“变小”。
37. C 推理判断。根据第三段中“Alice felt so in need of help from someone，that when he came near，she called out ...”可知，爱丽丝尝试与兔子对话；根据第五段中“She realized this and dropped it at once，or she would shrink to the size of an ant soon.”可知，爱丽丝扔掉扇子阻止自己继续缩小；根据最后一段中“I should think maybe it can talk. At least there’s no harm to try.”可知，爱丽丝试图与老鼠交流。通过以上内容可推测出，她一直在努力摆脱困境。
