Question

17．One Sunday a few of us decided to take advantage of the first sunny day we'd have for ages to take a trip down to the coast to visit the penguins again．Last time I went down there was a couple of months ago and it was a dull cold day．Sunday couldn't have been more different-clear skies and sunshine made it feel like summer，although it was still-25°C．
Six of us drove to the coast．It was the first time we'd been off the base on our own without our field assistant，so it had a slightly different feeling-more like a few friends going to the seaside than an Antarctic field trip!When we reached Windy Creek，we luckily caught sight of quite a few small flying seabirds，which are seldom seen there．
Once on the sea ice we found that some of the more curious penguins had wandered over from the main group to come and check us out．We'd been told that then they were nursing their chicks （剛孵出的幼雛） and they would be more careful and nervous than last time，but that didn't seem to be the case． We walked across to the main group which were stretched for a couple of miles along the coast．We sat down for some sandwiches and soon found ourselves surrounded by many curious observers．Without any attackers on land，they were very brave and came within a meter of us to pose （擺姿勢） for photos．
Before heading back，we spent a few hours on the sea ice watching the penguins and their chicks，which had grown dramatically （明顯地） since our last visit．It was such a nice day．
56．When did the trip most probably happen？D
A．On a dull Sunday

Answer 1

分析 本文主要描述了在冬季的一個星期日，作者他們懷著興奮的心情到南極野外去旅行的所見所聞；文中還著重描述了他們與一些企鵝的親密互動．

解答 答案：
56．D   細節(jié)理解題    根據(jù)第一段中的"Sunday couldn't have been…it feel like summer，although it was still-25°C．"雖然星期日有著陽光明媚的天氣，像是夏天，但溫度仍是零下二十五攝氏度，可知他們是在冬季的一個星期日去旅行的；故選D．
57．B    細節(jié)推理題    根據(jù)第二段中的"so it had a slightly different…than an Antarctic field trip!"可知，他們感覺像是幾個朋友到海邊去游玩而不是到南極野外旅行，可推測出他們應感覺有些興奮；故選B．
58．C   句意解釋題    根據(jù)本段中的"We'd been told that then they…be more careful and nervous than last time"（有人告訴我們，當時他們是在照料他們的幼雛，他們會比上次更小心更緊張）以及"Without any attackers on land，…to pose （擺姿勢） for photos．"可知，它們并沒有攻擊我們，而是非常勇敢的，在距離我們一米的地方擺姿勢拍照，可知它們的表現(xiàn)與從別人那里聽來相反，故本句的意思應是：事實恰恰相反；故選C．
59．A    內容歸納題    在第二段中提到了"we luckily…flying seabirds"我們看到了很多在飛翔小海鳥，故排除C；在最后一段中提到了"Before heading back，…watching the penguins and their chicks"在返回之前，我們花了幾個小時在海冰上看企鵝和它們的幼雛，故排除D；倒數(shù)第二段中的"they were very brave…a meter of us to pose （擺姿勢） for photos．"提到了勇敢的企鵝在距離我們的一米的地方擺姿勢拍照，故排除B；故答案為：A．
