Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too. Jeb let go of his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar’s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb. “Tom, no!” shouted his father. But Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted. Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar’s claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the corner of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father. “Knife, Tom!” shouted Jeb.33The boy ran to his father’s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar’s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains. The whole fight had taken about thirty seconds. Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard. 26. Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar? 【解析】选[C]。选项均以动词不定式开头表明，本题考查行为目的。短文 开头提到看到美洲豹时，Jeb…pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar（用两只手把他的夹克?开到最大，是自己的体 型大于美洲豹），而美洲豹面对一个体型大于它的人，就会害怕，所以Jeb 这样做是为了吓退美洲豹，故答案为[C]。 【点睛】现在分词做伴随状语，由making himself look big to the cougar可推 出，其目的是为了吓退美洲豹。 27. What do we know about cougars? 【解析】选[D]。短文中提到Tom broke and ran and that’s the last thing you do with a cougar （Tom因害怕跑了, 这是面对美洲豹时的大忌），由此可推断 出，美洲豹喜欢攻击奔跑中的人，故答案为[D]。the last thing 意为“最不应 该做的事”。 【点睛】听清问题中的cougars，明确选项中They的指代是解答本题的关键。 28. How did Jeb try to hold the cougar’s attention? 【解析】选[A]。选项均以By + doing开头表明，本题考查方式方法。短文后 面提到, Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar’s attention away from Tom（Jeb开始大声叫喊，同时用?头打美洲豹，将豹的注意力从 Tom身上引开），故答案为[A]。 【点睛】问题中的try to hold the cougar’s attention是对对话中to keep the cougar’s attention away的同义转述。 29. Which of the following happened first?34【解析】选[A]。短文中提到，Jeb将Tom十字交叉抱着后Tom挣脱父亲跑掉， Tom跑掉之后，美洲豹从岩石上跳下来，最后Tom给父亲拿来一把刀，故答 案为[A]。 【点睛】听清问题中的happened first是解题的关键。Passage Two 【听前预测】预览三道题各选项，由选项中的 her mother/grandmother ， family，quilts等可知，短文与说话者的家庭生活有关，涉及到被子的情况。I arrived at my mother’s home for Questions 30 to 32 are based on the our Monday family dinner.
