2014届高考英语二轮复习突破精选：阅读理解 1.I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go . It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩).”I wouldn’t leave her out in the cold!” he said.　　Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door .He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.” She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.46.The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means ________ .A.expect　　　　 B.understand C.see clearly　　　D.hear clearly 47.Before he arrived at the farmer’s house, the writer expected to see Milly lying ________ .A.on the ground of a barn　　　　 B.on the floor of a room.C.in bed in a room　　　　　 　　D.in bed in a barn 48.What do we know about Milly from the story?A.She had met with an accident.B.She had caused a scandalC.She was seriously ill.D.She was hidden somewhere. 49.The farmer wished that the writer might ________ .A.look into the matterB.bring Milly back to lifeC.free him from a scandalD.keep the whole thing a secret 50.The person who told the story is probably a ________ .　A.farmer　　　　B.policeman
