原文：

Our family is trying to decide where to go for our vacation this summer. Our son ,Tom , wants to go to the Yellow Stone Park again to see the bears. We did that last summer. And what an experience it was ! When we got there, we put up our tent and went to explore. As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out. And then we saw a bear enter Our Camp. Tom wanted his father to chase² him away. His father Said, ''No. It's dangerous to chase a bear. And don’t let him chase you.'' Susie said, ''What shall we do? Maybe we ought to climb a tree .'' Tom Said, ''No. We've got to get him out of there. He might go to sleep in our tent.” Maybe we could make him leave if we put some honey outside for him to eat.'' Susie suggested. Then I said, ''How are you going to get the honey? It’s in the tent.'' We watched the bear entered the tent and heard him upset everything inside. “ It's foolish for us to try to catch him,“ said my husband “Leave him alone and wait for him to come out” We waited, but the bear stayed inside. We had to sleep in the car.

Questions

11 Where have the family decided to go in the vacation this summer

12 Who do you think saw the bear first

13 What did they do when they saw a bear enter their tent

14 What did the bear do in the tent

答案与分析

11 A 注意这题问的是“this summer” ，考点就在第一句话“Our family is trying to decide” 正在试图决定，也就是尚未决定。 选A

12 A 这题的考点是“As we returned, we heard our daughter Susie cry out” 这里的As是一个很重要的时间项提示词。当我们回来的时候，我们听到Susie叫了起来。可见Susie可能是第一个看到熊的人。选A

13 B 这题得考点是倒数第二句My husband的一句话“Leave him alone and wait for him to come out” 那就是说他们待在外面什么也没做。选B

14 D 这题的考点是“We watched the bear entered the tent and heard him upset everything inside.” Watch \ heard 这类感官动词也是很重要的提示词。 “upset everything” 就相当于D的“turned things upside down”
