A
The young man arrived on the Massachusetts beach early carrying a radio, a shovel, and a strange set of tools: a brick layer’s trowel, a palette knife, spatulas, spoons, and a spray bottle.
He walked down near the water—the tide was out—put down the radio and tuned it to soft rock. Then he shoveled wet sand into a pile nearly four feet high and as many feet across. Then he created a rectangular(長方形的)shape.
After that, he set to work with palette knife, spatulas, and spoons. He shaped a graceful tower, topped walls, fashioned beautiful bay windows, and carved out big front gate.
The man knew his sand. He smoothly finished some surfaces and embroidered(雕刻)artistic designs on others. As the shapes began to dry, he gently kept them slightly wet with water from the spray bottle, in case they might break in the wind.
All this took hours. People gathered. At last he stood back, obviously satisfied with a castle worthy of the Austrian countryside or Disneyland.
Then he gathered his tools and radio and moved them up to drier sand. He had known for a while what many in the rapt(全神貫注的) crowd still overlooked: the tide was coming in. Not only had he practiced his art with confidence and style, he had done so against a powerful, immutable(不可抗拒的)deadline.
As the crowd looked on, water began to lap at the base of the castle. In minutes it was surrounded. Then the rising flood began to eat into the base, walls fell, the tower fell, and finally the gate’s arch fell. More minutes passed, and small waves erased bay windows and battlements—soon no more than a small part was left.
Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement. But the sculptor(雕塑家) remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on. 1. In this selection, why did the sculptor start early in the day?
A. He knew the tide was out on this particular morning. B. It gave time for the crowd to gather. C. He needed the sun to help dry the sand.
D. It was easier to begin with only a few people around.
答案解析：答案為A。本題為推理題。文章的開頭提到年輕男子一大早帶著他的工具來到了沙灘，由第二段的首句 “…the tide was out….” 可知潮水已消退, 他進行后面的工作都是在此前提下進行。故答案為A。
2. Which of the following best shows that the sculptor was an expert?
A. He attracted a large crowd. B. He created beautiful details.
C. He was able to finish his work. D. He showed satisfaction on his face.
答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)推理題。文章的前四段都是在描述年輕男子進行雕塑工作的全過程，選擇地點，時間和對工作細致認真，從第三段的 “graceful”、 “ fashioned beautiful” 和第四段的 “smoothly finished”、 “gently kept” 等詞都可以看出他的技術(shù)熟練。 故答案為B，雕塑家創(chuàng)造的美麗細節(jié)證明了他是個專家。
3. In this selection, what does the incoming tide signal?
A. It is time to begin working. B. It is the busiest time of the day.
C. It is the end of a day’s work. D. It is time for lookers-on to leave.
答案解析：答案為C。本題為細節(jié)推理題。第六段的第二句話 “…the tide was coming in”是設(shè)題點，本句后面的 “…h(huán)e had done so against a powerful, immutable(不可抗拒的)deadline.” 其中，deadline告訴我們到來的潮水就是雕塑工作的最后期限，故答案為C。 4. How did the lookers-on react when the tide began to come in?
A. They tried to save the sand castle. B. They were disappointed to see the art ruined.
C. They were nervous about their own belongings. D. They helped the artist finish the castle.
答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節(jié)題。從最后一段首句 “Many in the crowd looked terribly sad; some voiced fears and discouragement.” 可知, 故答案為B。 5. The reader can tell that the sculptor’s reward for his work is
A. payment for his work B. attention from the crowd C. fame as an artist
D. personal satisfaction
答案解析：答案為D。本題為推理題。從最后一段 “But the sculptor(雕塑家) remained calm. He had, after all, had a wonderful day, making beauty out of nothing, and watching it return to nothing as time and tide moved on.” 可知，雕塑家對于被潮水毀掉的作品非常鎮(zhèn)定，這一天他完成了一件美麗的作品，對于他個人來說，心靈獲得了滿足。故答案為D。

答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節(jié)題。本題需要細看文章，先定位題干的 “New York City subway lines”, 而后從文章的 “New York City Transit Authority” 部分看到 “…subway stops in Queens and Brooklyn: a free shuttle goes from JFK terminals to the A line; the Q3 bus goes to the F line; and the B15 goes to the 3 line. Also, the Q10, …connects to the E,F, J, and Z lines.”, 其中，“A line”、“the F line” 和 “3 line.” 都是地鐵線路，有字母和數(shù)字，故答案為D。
