Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收縮)and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”
The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see-and guide whether we see fear.”
To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(掃描儀)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ?speak?to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”
1.What is the finding of the study? A.One's heart affects how he feels fear.B.fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C.fear has something to do with one's health.D.One?s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.2.The study was carried out by analyzing _______.A.volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures B.the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions C.volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data form their brain scans D.different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication 3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6? A.Order.B.System.C.Machine.D.Treatment.4.This study may contribute to _______.A.treating anxiety and stress better B.explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety C.finding the sky to the heart-brain communication D.understanding different fears in our hearts and heads 答案:1.A 2.C 3.B 4.A 2.2013安徽合肥質(zhì)檢
It is a tall tale that terrifies most young children.Swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested.Or so they say.An even worse tale is that swallowed gum can wrap itself around your heart.But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring.The gum base is pretty indigestible—it is a mixture of different ingredients(成分)that our body can?t use.Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods.However, your digestive system has another way to deal with things you swallow.After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest.They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut(腸子)and come out at the other end one to two days later.The saliva(唾液)in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soon as we put it in our mouths.It might get through the shell but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible.It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short time can cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.1.Children might feel terrified after swallowing chewing gum mainly because ___________.A.they believe the tall tales about chewing gum
B.chewing gum will stay in their body for many years C.their heart will be wrapped by chewing gum D.chewing gum is indigestible for children 2.What happens to the food that can?t be fully broken down?.A.It remains in our digestive system forever B.It will be eventually moved out of our body C.It will fight against the power of the gut D.It will stick to the gut for one or two days
3.The word It(in the 4th paragraph)refers to “___________ ”.A.the attempt B.the salvia C.the shell D.the gum base 4.What would be the best title for text? A.How does our digestive system work? B.Can chewing gum be swallowed by kids? C.Does swallowing chewing gum matter? D.Why swallowing chewing gum frightens kids? 參考答案: 1.A 2.B 3.B 4.C 3.2013 江西南昌模擬
“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere,but changes in temperature,humidity and nutrient
availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon
dioxide,” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.The researchers point out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats,caused by climate change,are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures.“We do not yet know the exact mechanisms involved,or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said.“Until we understand more,we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify.”
The change was big in cold-blooded animals.Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles(爬行動(dòng)物)smaller.An increase of only 1 ℃ caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陳代謝).Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards.Fish are smaller now too.Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers,experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth.There is a recent report on warmer temperatures’ negative effects on plankton(浮游生物),the base of the marine ecosystem.Warm-blooded animals weren’t immune from the size change caused by climate change.Many birds are now smaller;Mammals have been miniaturized too.Soay sheep are thinner.Red deer are weaker.And polar bears are smaller,compared with historical records.This isn?t the first time this has happened in Earth?s history.55 million years ago,a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees,spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years.That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough,especially those with long generation times.So,it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future.1.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A.Why do some species become smaller?
B.How does climate change in Earth?s history? C.Climate change has many negative effects D.Species become smaller as climate warms
2.The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”.
A.increased
B.beaten C.strengthened
D.equaled
3.Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that________.A.how climate change affects animals’ sizes has not been found clearly B.a(chǎn)ll the animals on the Earth have become smaller
C.too many studies on animals’ sizes have been done
D.climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals 4.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.B.Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.C.Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D.The warming event has never happened in Earth’s history before.參考答案: 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.A 5.A 4.2013鄭州預(yù)測(cè)二
If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s(人類學(xué)家)door to the stomach.In a study published last month in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of our early human ancestors to find out what they were really eating.They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth.Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑).The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different.Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees leave another kind because they photosynthesized(光合作用)differently.Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls(頭骨)to figure out what early humans ate.Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves.But this was proven wrong.The best example was the Paranthropus(傍人), one of our close cousins, some of which lived in eastern Africa.Scientists used to believe Paranthropus ate nuts and seeds because they had big crests(突起)on their skulls, suggesting they had large chewing muscles and big teeth.If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon.They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds.However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthroupus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics.The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits.This suggests they probably ate grass, not nuts and fruit stones.It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find.Carbon “foodprints” give us a completely new and different insight into what different species ate and the different environments they lived in.If a certain species had the kind of carbon on its teeth that came from grasses, it probably lived in a tropical grassland, for example.1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means that anthropologists can ______.A.know the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth B.find out the diet of early humans by studying their teeth C.learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth 4 D.get the most useful information about humans from their teeth
2.According to Paragraphs 3-5,which of the following statements is true? A.Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves.B.Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds.3.The example of the Paranthropus was mentioned in order to tell us ______.A.they were one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa B.living environment makes a difference to skull structure C.they had different eating habits from other humans D.the size and shape of teeth don’t show accurately what early humans ate

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries.These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times, the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden.The center studies human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices.We spoke to Mr.Brown by Skype.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay.Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And, then it wasn?t until they were driving for thirty minutes until they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”
Mr Brown says this is a common human error.But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment.Barry Brown: “One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it?s going to the wrong place.”
Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people?s cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.”
Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you?re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.”
Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.“The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving With GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers.These include maps that are outdated, 6 incorrect or difficult to understand.They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.1.What is the best title for this passage? A.Is GPS system reliable to use?
B.What is the use of GPS? C.How to make the most of GPS? D.Blame!GPS or Passengers?
2.What is the implication of the underlined part? A.GPS is just a garbage device.B.GPS will not correct human errors.C.GPS adjusts your wrong destination.D.GPS is just as smart as human beings.3.Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage? A.Small screen.B.Timing of commands.C.Outdated maps.D.Dear cameras GPS uses.4.According to the passage, people commonly believe that _____.A.you have to know where to go when using GPS B.you need to have new competencies to use GPS well C.GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction D.GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps

Have you ever wondered why stems(莖)grow upwards and roots downwards? Why do plants always seem to turn towards the light and climbing plants run up rather than down? The answer is simple: auxin(生長(zhǎng)素), a chemical substance that controls growth in plants.Auxin gives away its secrets Auxin is a plant hormone(激素).Darwin was already interested in it in the 19th century.Only in recent years, however, has the hormone started to give away its secrets, thanks to intensive molecular research.Auxin is produced in the young, growing parts of plants and then transported throughout the plant—to a low-lying stem for example.The stem needs to straighten out as soon as possible to be able to absorb the topside, resulting in the underside growing faster and the stem straightening out.For the same reason, plants in front of windows will always turn to the light.This active regulation of auxin transport allows plants to take ideal advantage of local and changing conditions.A new means of transport for auxin The transport of auxin through the plant plays a vital role.And, from all appearances, it is not a simple matter.The researchers identified an important new link and means of transport for auxin: PILS proteins(蛋白質(zhì)).PILS proteins are vital for auxin-dependent plant growth and adjust the intracellular(細(xì)胞內(nèi)的)storage of the hormone.It is exactly this compartmentalizing(分類)of auxin that seems functionally important for the various developmental processes.Growing crops more efficiently: the right amount of auxin in the right place Higher auxin levels at the right moment and in the right place result in better growth and greater harvest.Better adjustment of auxin levels would make plants grow more efficiently.The researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient growing processes by continuing to sort out auxin transport processes.1.Which of the following is TRUE of auxin according to the text?
A.It helps the plant to bend at the right places while growing.B.It prevents the roots of plants from growing faster.C.It is no use when the surroundings have changed.D.It helps the underside of plants grow faster than the topside.2.From Paragraph 3 we know that ________
A.the researchers are not so sure if the transport for auxin is a new one
B.the levels of auxin remain the same during the growing processes of plants
C.PILS proteins delay the growth of plants D.PILS proteins play an important part in the transport of auxin 3.According to Paragraph 2, the researchers got their results mainly by ________.A.referring to Darwin's theory
B.observing plants straightening C.doing intensive molecular research
D.watching plants in different places 4.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.Why Plants Grow towards the Light? B.Darwin's Dream Has Come True C.How Did Scientists Find Out the Secret? D.A New Way of the Growing of Plants 參考答案: 1.D 2.D 3.C 4.A

閱讀理解技巧
閱讀理解題是考查學(xué)生對(duì)活的語言材料的理解能力,即通過閱讀材料獲得信息的能力。具體說來,閱讀理解能力測(cè)試的主要要求是:(1)掌握所讀材料的主旨大意,以及用以說明主旨大意的事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié);(2)既理解具體事實(shí),也理解抽象的概念;(3)既理解字面意思,也理解深層含義,包括作者的態(tài)度、意圖等;(4)既理解某句、某段的意義,也理解全篇的邏輯關(guān)系,并能根據(jù)文章進(jìn)行推理和判斷;(5)既能根據(jù)材料所提供的信息去理解,也能結(jié)合中學(xué)生應(yīng)有的常識(shí)去理解。根據(jù)這幾項(xiàng)能力測(cè)試的要求,試題中常采用如下幾種題型:事實(shí)詢問題、推理判斷題、數(shù)據(jù)推算題、識(shí)圖解意題和主旨大意題。根據(jù)這一測(cè)試要求和題型設(shè)計(jì),答題時(shí)可以采取如下解題技巧和對(duì)策。
1.首先解題時(shí)要充滿自信。由于平時(shí)有些同學(xué)對(duì)做閱讀理解時(shí)存在一種畏懼心理,因此考試做題時(shí)心理就難免會(huì)產(chǎn)生緊張感,特別是閱讀時(shí)再遇到幾個(gè)生詞就頭腦發(fā)脹,從而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其實(shí)這是完全沒有必要的,因?yàn)殚喿x中遇到幾個(gè)生詞或幾個(gè)難以理解的句子是常有的事,也是正常現(xiàn)象。因?yàn)榘创缶V要求,試卷中允許有不超過3%的生詞,只要認(rèn)真分析,仔細(xì)閱讀,這些生詞和句子很可能并不影響你的解題。所以答題之前首先要有必勝的信心。
2.掃讀全文,理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章,首先要快速掃讀全文,雖為掃讀,但不可漫不經(jīng)心,閱讀時(shí)也應(yīng)聚精會(huì)神,力求可能多地獲取材料信息,只是這次遇到生詞和難句先不必去處理,不要因糾纏文中的個(gè)別生詞和難句而影響了對(duì)全文的主旨大意的了解。
3.對(duì)癥下藥,各個(gè)擊破。了解全文的大概意思之后,再把短文的問題簡(jiǎn)單看一遍,弄懂題意,然后帶著問題再去尋讀全文。這次閱讀過程中要善于抓文章中的關(guān)鍵詞句。尋讀也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息,是為某些特定的問題而閱讀,因此閱讀時(shí)要有較強(qiáng)的針對(duì)性,對(duì)與問題有關(guān)的數(shù)據(jù),詞句等仔細(xì)閱讀,認(rèn)真理解,同時(shí)結(jié)合不同考查內(nèi)容的題型,采取如下解題對(duì)策:
(1)事實(shí)詢問題:這類試題通常是以疑問詞what,who,when,where,why,how等引起的特殊問句,就文章中某一詞語、某一句子、某一段落或某一具體細(xì)節(jié)和事實(shí)進(jìn)行提問。解答此類試題首先要弄清題目和每一個(gè)選項(xiàng)的含義,然后按題目要求尋找與之相關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié),正確估計(jì)答案來源,同時(shí)注意題目和文章中的暗示作用。特別注意辨別各種信息,確認(rèn)各種信息。
(2)推理判斷題:此題要求我們通過表面文字信息去推測(cè)文章隱含的意思,對(duì)文章的發(fā)展情節(jié)及作者的態(tài)度、意圖等做出合乎邏輯的的推理判斷。這種題要求我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)要抓住文章的主題和細(xì)節(jié)、從分析文章的結(jié)構(gòu)入手,根據(jù)上下文的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,充分挖掘文章的深層含義。對(duì)暗含在文章中事件的因果關(guān)系,人物的動(dòng)機(jī),以及作者未言明的傾向、態(tài)度、意圖、觀點(diǎn)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理、分析和判斷。同時(shí)善于抓住文中實(shí)質(zhì)性的東西,不要被帶假象的表面信息或似是而非的東西所迷惑。并且注意推斷作者態(tài)度時(shí)要力求從作者的態(tài)度、觀點(diǎn)去思考,切勿想當(dāng)然,憑個(gè)人的觀點(diǎn)習(xí)慣看法來回答的問題。
(3)數(shù)據(jù)推算題:此題要求我們就文章提供的數(shù)據(jù),以及數(shù)據(jù)與文章中其他信息的關(guān)系做出計(jì)算和推斷,然后做出選擇。這就要求我們解題時(shí),要在理解好題意的前提下去對(duì)與數(shù)據(jù)有關(guān)的信息認(rèn)真分析,若數(shù)據(jù)信息較多,還要注意弄清數(shù)據(jù)之間的關(guān)系,同時(shí)分清有用與無用信息,最終作出正確判斷。
(4)主旨大意題:此題用以考查我們對(duì)文章主題或中心思想的領(lǐng)會(huì)和理解能力。在解答此類試題時(shí)要注意每段的中心句,抓住每一段的主題句。一般主題句都用來表達(dá)一段主旨大意,因此,只要找準(zhǔn)每段的主題句,文章的中心思想和文章的最佳標(biāo)題也就不難確定了。
相信將這些閱讀理解的技巧靈活的運(yùn)用在做題過程中,英語閱讀理解一定會(huì)有所提高。

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often.It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear).Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.Then
People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem.They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm?s length.If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape.They have what is called astigmatism(散光).This, too, can be corrected by glasses.Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白內(nèi)障).Long ago these people often became blind.Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances.Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle(角度).To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye;then look at the same object out of your other eye.You will find the object?s relation to the background and other things around it has changed.The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is.People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1.We should take good care of our eyes
.A.only when we can see well B.only when we cannot see perfectly
C.even if we can see well

The most important use of drifting(漂流)bottles is to find ocean currents.When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course.Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents.He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S.ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean.Franklin thought the Gulf Stream(墨西哥灣流)might explain this difference.Franklin talked with captains of U.S.ships.He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream.They used the current in every possible way.From his talks with the captains.Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream.Then he checked his map by using sealed(密封的)bottles.The map that he finally made is still used, with only a few changes, today.1.Why are drifting bottles used?

The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass(放大鏡)when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.“Hey ,” said the man in the door.“Remember me?”
“Yes,” the boy said, whispering.“Rick.”
He felt so surprised to see Rick.All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him
“You knew me,” Rick said.“You hadn?t forgotten.”
“You?re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers.He was thin, but he was built to be lean;and he was still, or again, sunburnt(曬黑了).After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair.Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened.There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks(面頰), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words.Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate(交際)with each other.Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things.First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛蟲)changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them.Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal(信號(hào))causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn?t need to be in words.We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands.We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements.Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜)for honey.So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message? 1.It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A.are lying on the ground B.have an unpleasant taste C.bees don?t like D.have an unfamiliar shape 2.The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A.growing more branches

In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read.To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity(殘酷)to man.To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift(漂流)down the Mississippi River on a raft(木排).To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at(對(duì)??的蔑視)society.To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated(受挫折)in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated.This is effective communication(交流).It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age.It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.1.The sentence “People who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read” suggests that ______.A.reading stimulates(激發(fā))a desire to travel B.reading broadens(擴(kuò)大)a person’s experience

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn?t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”
I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English, and they thought ?VACANCIES? meant ?holidays?, because the Spanish word for ?holidays” is ?vacaciones?.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said ?VACANCLES?, which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said ?NO VACANCLES?, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish, the word ?DIVERSION? means fun.In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word ?DIVERSION? on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris.when someone offered me some more.coffee, I said ?Thank you? in French.I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that ?Thank you? in French means ?Mo, thank you.?

Baths and bothing have long been considered of medical importance to man.In Greece there are the ruins(廢墟)of a water system(系統(tǒng))for baths built over 3,000 years ago.The Romans had warm public baths.In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries.Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700?s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(經(jīng)常的)bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health.Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!
By the 1700?s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health.They believed that it was good for people to be clean.Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular.During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days!That was a law!
Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit.People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases.As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often.Some people bath once a day at least.They consider a daily bath essential(=necessary)to good health.1.A water system for baths was built by

Today I?ll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography.The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt.Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in;he made temporary pictures on the salt.Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today.Then a French scientist made the first permanent(永久的)picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt.A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the process(制作法)by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat.This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs.But the problem was the printing of the photographs.And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern.In the 1870?s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War.In the 20?s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing(沖洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self—developing film.If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).1.What discovery was the basis of photography?
A.Light darkens silver salt.B.Light darkens natural salt.C.Light darkens silver.D.Light darkens self--developing film 2.How was the first permanent picture made?
A.By making use of special paper.B.By adding common salt to silver salt.C.By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.D.By using a special piece of metal.3.What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography?
A.1727
B.1826
C.1839
D.1870 4.According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?
A.He was a soldier.B.He took war photographs.C.He painted portraits.D.He designed a portable camera.5.What did Doctor Edward Lane invent?
A.A cheap process of developing film at home.B.A new kind of film.C.An automatic printer.D.An ?instant camera? that develops its own film.50、(1分)
The fiddler crab(蟹)is a living clock.It indicates(=shows)the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night.The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm(節(jié)奏)of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun?s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months.Even without daylight, the crab?s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic(特性)probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies.After millions of years it has become completely regulated(受控制)inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before.From this they discovered that each crab follows not only
the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水).The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B.in answer to the sun?s rays C.at low tide D.every fifty minutes 2.The crab?s changing colour ______.A.tells the crab what time it is
B.protects the crab from the sunlight and enemies

B.changed colour more quickly
C.changed colour more slowly
D.changed colour on the same timetable 4.The crab?s colour—changing ability was probably developed ______.A.in the process of evolution(進(jìn)化)B.over millions of years C.by the work of biologists D.both A and B 5.The best title for this selection would be ______.A.The Sun and the Tides B.Discoveries in BiologyC.A scientific StudyD.A Living Clock

People used to say, “The hand that rocks(搖)the cradle(搖籃)rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”
Both these sayings mean the same thing.Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them..Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves.They want good jobs.When they work they want to be better paid.They want to be as successful as men.The American women?s liberation movement was started by women who didn?t want to stand behind successful men.They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success.They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence(自信)in herself.If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”
This movement is quite new, and many American women don?t agree yet.But it has already made some important changes in women?s lives---in men?s lives, too.1.“Behind every successful man there is a woman” means_______.A.men are always successful but not womenB.women are not willing to stand in front of men

It must have been around nine O’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark.As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光榮)from swinging(搖擺)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me.But needn?t have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway---unless he had fallen asleep while reading.I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack?s room.He was in bed awake but he didn?t even turn towards me.“What?s up, Jack?” I said.“For God’s sake(看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(傷害).“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour(遷就)him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here” he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets.I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.I knew that moving was out of the question.I couldn?t have moved even if I?d wanted to.” I realized that he was serious.“I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasn?t bitten me yet but I daren?t do anything to upset it.It might wake up.I?m sick of this,” he said, :” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries(神秘的事物)of nature.Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons(武器)of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth.A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs(燈泡).The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752.In the same year he also built the first lightning rod(避雷針).This device(裝置物)protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.Modern science has discovered that one stroke(閃擊)of lightning has a voltage(電壓)of more than 15 million volts(伏特).A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year.Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year.In the United States alone it kills an average(平均數(shù))of one person every day.The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car.Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress.Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences.Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 1.People once thought lightning came from ________.A.the sky

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day.English speakers are always creating(創(chuàng)造)new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from.Did you ever think about why hamburgers(漢堡包)are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe.They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg.They did not speak good English, but they ate good food.When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was.The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea.He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate.Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them.Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”.Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting.Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting.too.This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1.According to the writer, English is

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney.He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(動(dòng)畫片)film for children.When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop!That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家)and wore his sailor jacket and hat.Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film.The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(貪婪的), and because he lost his temper(發(fā)脾氣)very quickly.And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子).Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn?t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S,? 40s and ?50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.But today?s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.1.Who made Donald Duck film?

Why do we have in a camera a lens(鏡頭)instead of a simple hole?
The reason can be seen from the figures(圖像).In Figure 1, the hole is small.Rays of light from a point(P1)outside reach a very small part of the wall opposite, and we see there a small point.But when the hole is bigger, as in Figure 2, rays from the point(P2)can cover a larger part of the wall opposite, and we don?t see a clear point, Rays from other points(Q)outside can also fall on the same place inside.Therefore the picture is not clear when the hole is big and it is not bright when the hole is small because very very little light can pass through it..We can get better result with a lens.If the lens is made in the shape shown in Figure 3, all the rays of light from the point(P3)are thrown on point(P?)inside.The picture which we see, therefore, is clear, and it is also bright because more light can pass through a lens than through a small hole.1.In Figure 1 we see a faint small point on the wall because
.A.the point(P1)is very small
B.the hole isn?t big enough
C.light rays don?t travel in straight lines
D.light rays can?t pass through a small hole 2.Figure 2 shows that the bigger the hole is,.A.the more light can pass through
B.the clearer the picture will be
C.the better result we will get
D.the faster the light rays travel 3.From figure 3, we can see a lens
.A.can form a clear picture
B.can make light go in a straight line
C.can help light rays to go faster
D.cannot give the picture more light than in Fig.2 4.The main idea of the second paragraph of the article is that

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians(行人)to cross roads safely.Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings.They are more efficient(效率高的)although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps.This is inconvenient especially to older people.When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic.However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up.This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges.For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking(冒?危險(xiǎn))their lives by dashing across
the road.Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose.Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them.This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.1.What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?
A.Taller trucks can pass under them.B.Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C.They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D.They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.2.Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?
A.Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B.Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C.Because they save money for the government.D.Because they save time for the pedestrians.3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B.Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D.Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.4.The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.A.a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea.Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.The sea has provided man with food and a convenient(便利的)way to travel to many parts of the world.Today, nearly two—thirds of the world?s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive(=continue to live).Resources on land are beginning to be used up.The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man?s needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive.Oil and gas explorations(探險(xiǎn))have been carried out for nearly 30 years.Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined(開采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.The culture of fish and shellfish(貝類動(dòng)物)is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy.Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship.Ocean currents(水流)and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore(勘探)ever more deeply under the sea.The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.1.The major things that the sea offers man are ______.A.fish and oil B.minerals and oil C.warm temperature and ocean currents D.the food, energy sources, and minerals 2.The sea serves the needs of man because ______.A.in provides man with food B.it offers oil to man C.it supplies man with minerals D.all of the above 3.We can conclude from this passage that ______.A.the sea resources have largely been used upB.the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams.To begin with.I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence.As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大驚小怪)about any holiday, This still puzzles me.I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject.It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk.Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives.They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困擾的)little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this.My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.1.What is the author?s attitude toward dreaming?

One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond(池塘).For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木)under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance.Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow.I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without ever, slowing down.I stopped.“What?s up?” he cried out from the other side.“I?m not riding over that thing.If I slip, I?ll be in there with that cow,” “There?s nothing to it.I just did it.didn?t I?”
“You?re stronger and taller.My feet don?t touch the ground.You do it for me!”
Mat said strength didn’t come into it and rode off.I knew he would give me at least an hour before coming
to help.The sun burned my face, sweat ran off my forehead into my eyes and stuck my blouse(女襯衫)to my body.Try myself rather than wait for Mat to help.I rode back to get a good run-up and over I went.Mat was that right: all the difficulties were in the mind.1.The bridge looked dangerous to the girl because

Have you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while.Those around you might not like it, but scratching(moving your nails(指甲)against a part of your body)and twitching(moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to)is an important way of burning up calories(卡路里).American researchers have found that some people’s squirming(continuously turn your body when nervous)and wigging(move in small movements, especially from side to side)equals(等于)several miles of slow running each day.The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health?s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount(量)of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)levels.By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping,(moving the front part of your foot up and down)finger-drumming(hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard)and other nervous habits.However, others had burned up only 100 calories.The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men.Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.1.Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”?
A.scratching and twitching B.squirming and wiggingC.slow running D.moving one?s body nervously 2.We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ____.A.thin people burn up less calories than fat people B.fat people burn up more calories than thin people

Calories show the energy content of different foods.We all need a certain amount each day to make our bodies work properly.Unfortunately, people in Europe and the US now eat about 20 times as much sugar and at least five times as much fat as they did in 1800.This may have something to do with the increase in heart disease in Western countries.For wedding feasts(婚宴), the Bedouin people sometimes prepare a meal of stuffed roast camel.First, they stuff a fish with eggs.Then they put the fish inside a chicken.They put the chicken inside a whole roast sheep.Then, finally, they put all of this inside a cooked camel!

回到家,我找到了兩個(gè)花盆,滿心歡喜地種下了辣椒籽。下種后,我每天都要給它澆些水,盼望種子早些發(fā)芽。一天中午,弟弟告訴我花盆里出小苗了,我飛一樣地跑到窗臺(tái)前,只見一棵小嫩芽拱出土,又過了兩天,好幾棵小芽出來了。小芽越來越多,我給小辣椒間苗,把太密的小苗小心翼翼地拔掉了一些。
到了盛夏,每株辣椒已有半尺多高了,它們的莖上都綴滿了欲放的花苞,幾天后,一朵朵雪白的小花,先后開放了。大約又過了四五天,辣椒就開始結(jié)果了,出現(xiàn)了青綠的橢圓形的小辣椒,一個(gè)個(gè)綴在莖上,真惹人喜愛。
秋風(fēng)吹進(jìn)窗來,帶進(jìn)一股香氣,辣椒開始由青變紅,看上去更讓人喜愛。一個(gè)個(gè)兩寸多長(zhǎng)的小辣椒掛在枝頭對(duì)我微笑,感謝我對(duì)它們的辛勤培育。收獲的時(shí)節(jié)到了,我滿懷欣喜地把成熟的辣椒一個(gè)一個(gè)摘下,竟收了小半筐。

5、碗
我們山村的孩子們吃飯都是用一種粗瓷大碗,叫海碗。盛上一碗飯,夾一些菜放在飯上,一齊涌到村口的小場(chǎng)上來吃。我們有的坐在石板上,有的坐在木墩(dūn)上,有的干脆蹲在那兒。大伙兒一邊吃飯,一邊說話,可熱鬧呢。大家還可以自愿地你吃點(diǎn)我的菜,我吃點(diǎn)你的菜,結(jié)果一頓飯吃了好幾種菜,比在家里吃強(qiáng)多了。
我們端著碗出場(chǎng)的第一個(gè)“節(jié)目”是猜菜:大家把手里的碗舉得高高的,讓對(duì)方猜,猜不著,就吃對(duì)方一口菜;猜著了,就讓對(duì)方吃一口菜。小小的手兒,要舉起那么大個(gè)碗,是要有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)技術(shù)的。弄不好,碗打破了,飯吃不成還要挨一頓打??杀M管這樣,這個(gè)“節(jié)目”卻從未中斷過。
有一次猜菜,我的碗打破了。我嚇哭了。隔壁一個(gè)比我大兩歲的小姐姐,忽然把自己的碗給了我,自己拾起破碗回家去了。不一會(huì)兒,我們就聽到她媽媽的罵聲:“打破碗了?你死去了!”接著是“啪”的一巴掌。
這一巴掌好像打在我的心上。我端著碗默默地回家去,飯也沒吃完。媽媽以為我病了,泡了一碗紅糖茶給我喝。我把茶端到屋后給正在屋檐下哽(gěng)咽(ya)的小姐姐喝。小姐姐喝了一口,笑了,一眨眼,兩滴亮晶晶的淚珠落進(jìn)了碗里。
后來我讀大學(xué)了,回家看她。她已經(jīng)結(jié)了婚,生了個(gè)漂亮的小女孩,跟她小時(shí)候一模一樣。當(dāng)我們說起這打破碗的故事時(shí),她回憶說:“你媽打起人來比我媽厲害,你又小,我怕你受不了??”
她說得很平靜,我心里卻像倒海翻江一般。

自從發(fā)現(xiàn)小雞誤吃了不能消化的塑料管后,我一直在想:能不能把小雞嗉里的管子取出來呢?我左思右想,突然眼睛一亮: 有了?醫(yī)生能給病人剖腹取出瘤塊,使病人康復(fù),難道雞嗉就不能剖開嗎?我就借它做個(gè)試驗(yàn)吧。于是我第一次當(dāng)了外科醫(yī)生,我想好了動(dòng)手術(shù)的步驟后,拿來消毒藥水、剪刀、鑷子、針線,并請(qǐng)小表弟做我的助手。
手術(shù)臺(tái)就是小椅子。我讓小表弟把雞仰在椅子上,按住小雞的腳和頭部,不讓它亂動(dòng)。我先用剪子剪去雞脖子下的毛,然后用棉花蘸上消毒藥水擦洗要開刀的部位,又用一只手捏著雞嗉上的皮,先劃破雞皮再刺破雞嗉,這時(shí),雞“嘰嘰”地亂叫起來??吹叫‰u痛苦的樣子,我的手不知不覺地停了下來,但是為了小雞的生命,為了試驗(yàn),我還是硬起頭皮,繼續(xù)將口子劃大,然后小心翼翼地將鑷子伸進(jìn)雞嗉,夾住管子的一端,慢慢拔了出來。這時(shí)從刀口處冒出許多紅色的血和氣泡,小雞發(fā)出無力的叫聲,我心里一陣緊張,連忙用針線將傷口縫好。‖
手術(shù)后,我把“小病號(hào)”放在溫暖的窩里。小雞兩眼瞇著,縮著脖子,蹲在角落里,一動(dòng)也不動(dòng)。我既希望著又擔(dān)心著。今天,我回來,看到小雞不但沒死,反而能找食吃了,這不是說明手術(shù)成功了嗎?爸爸聽到了我的介紹,忍不住哈哈地笑起來,夸我敢想敢干,將來可以當(dāng)醫(yī)生?!?/p>

“誰知道你是哪里的一只野兔子,竟敢和我稱同學(xué)。哼,走開!”狐貍不屑一顧地回答。
野兔感到很委屈,他一聲不響地來到學(xué)校,開始努力學(xué)習(xí)起來。又過了幾天,野兔的成績(jī)又名列前茅了。這天放學(xué)后,野兔又遇到了狐貍。

一天中午放學(xué)時(shí),天上突然下起了傾盆大雨。我們不能回家吃午飯了,于是我就和何菲一起到學(xué)校對(duì)面的幸福餐廳去吃面。
幸福餐廳生意興(xīng xìng)隆,寬敞的店堂里早就客滿。何菲排隊(duì)買面條,我找座位,好不容易才等到兩個(gè)空位子。我便坐下來,把書包放在另一個(gè)座位上等何菲。鄰座是一位打扮入時(shí)的姑娘,她旁邊的座位也空著。
正等著,我看見一位老奶奶扶著一位盲人爺爺走過來。老爺爺身穿雨衣,戴著墨鏡,拄著紅白相間(ji ān jiàn)的拐杖。老奶奶看見我們這張桌子還有一角空著,就想讓盲人爺爺坐下。那位漂亮姑娘連忙叫道:“喂,這兒有人!”
“等人來了,我們?cè)僮尠??”那位老奶奶用商量的口氣說。
“那不行!我朋友馬上就要來的?!?/p>
老奶奶見姑娘不肯讓,只好無可奈何地扶著盲人爺爺站在旁邊。
“老奶奶,這兒有座位,你們來坐吧!”我連忙站起身來。
“哦?”老奶奶感到意外,她怔怔地望著我。
“不要緊,我同學(xué)去買面條了,看樣子,還要等一會(huì)兒呢!你們先坐吧?!蔽覠崆榈胤雒と藸敔斪隆?/p>

何菲急忙放下面條,讓老奶奶和盲人爺爺坐好,說道:“我們不急,你們先吃吧!”
兩碗香噴噴(pēn pan)的面條放在二位老人面前,我隨即遞給盲人爺爺一雙筷子,親熱地說:“老人家,您請(qǐng)用餐吧!”“可真太謝謝你們啦!”老奶奶十分感激地說。盲人爺爺一邊津津有味地吃著,一邊不住地念叨:“這餐廳的服務(wù)態(tài)度真好??”

九龍壁,高五米,長(zhǎng)二十七米,厚一點(diǎn)二米。在影壁的正反兩面,用七色的琉璃磚分別鑲嵌成九條巨龍。它們色澤鮮艷,形態(tài)逼真,像是在騰云駕霧似的,要沖出影壁,飛向天空。你看,一條黃龍和一條紫龍正在爭(zhēng)奪一個(gè)火球。它們瞪圓了雙眼,怒目相視。黃龍叉開四爪,伸出了銳利的尖鉤;那條紫龍也不示弱,傲慢地?cái)[動(dòng)著尾巴,輕蔑地照著對(duì)方,仿佛說()()你有什么了不起()敢和我較量嗎()()
這對(duì)巨龍正在挑戰(zhàn),那對(duì)巨龍已經(jīng)開仗了。只見藍(lán)、白兩條龍,翻滾在洶涌澎湃的碧濤之上,穿梭于險(xiǎn)峻的山峰之間。這一場(chǎng)惡斗,真是驚心動(dòng)魄??!
再看其他幾條龍,也各有特色。有的氣勢(shì)洶洶,殺氣騰騰;有的耀武揚(yáng)威,得意洋洋;有的回首遙望,呼喚同伴??它們形態(tài)各異,真是妙不可言,美不勝收。
面對(duì)這刻畫精致的九龍壁,我不禁感慨萬分。我們的祖先,真是心靈手巧,多么聰明呀!九龍壁是我 國(guó)勞動(dòng)人民智慧的結(jié)晶!

11、觀日出
看日出須早起。四點(diǎn)鐘還不到,我就起身,沿著海邊的大路,向著東山走去。我走得很快,不久,便爬上了山頂。
殘(cán)云已經(jīng)散盡了。幾顆晨星在那晴朗的天空中,閃爍(shuò)著漸漸淡下去的光輝(huī)。東方的天空泛起了粉紅色的霞(xiá)光。
天邊的朝霞變濃變淡,粉紅的顏色漸漸變?yōu)榻奂t,以后又變成鮮紅了。而大海和天空也像起了火似的,通紅一片。就在這時(shí),在那水天融為一體的蒼茫遠(yuǎn)方,一輪紅日冉(rán)冉升起。開始時(shí),它升得很慢,只露出一個(gè)弧(hú)形的金邊兒。但是,這金邊兒很快地?cái)U(kuò)大著,擴(kuò)大著,涌了上來。到后來,就不是冉冉升起了,而是猛地一蹦就出了海面。于是那遼(liáo)闊的天空和大海,一下子就布滿了耀(yào)眼的金光。

12、丑菊
去年,我種了株丑菊,天天盼著它開花。
今年“五一”節(jié),沉睡了一年的丑菊忽然打了苞,我高興極了。起初,底窄頭寬的綠蕊中夾了一個(gè)綠色小球,非常小,只有小綠豆大。長(zhǎng)了幾天,花苞透出一點(diǎn)黃色,這時(shí),已有黃豆大小。過些天,花兒終于開了,金黃金黃的,幾十個(gè)花瓣擺了三、四層,雖只有銅錢大小,但更顯得嬌小、美麗。
丑菊開花真有意思。夜晚,花瓣像收傘似的自動(dòng)收攏;白天,花瓣又像撐傘似的張開,而且花心一直迎著太陽,跟著太陽轉(zhuǎn),顯得非常恭敬。難怪有人叫它“假葵花”呢!
1、用“——”畫出文中的比喻句。

過了幾天,三個(gè)人又碰面了。第一個(gè)人說:“登上峰頂,也不過那么回事。還是知難而退好。省了許多力氣?!钡诙€(gè)人說:“是啊!所以我適可而止,中途退下,還是明智的?!蹦敲吹巧戏屙?shù)娜诵α诵?,說道:“不過,頂峰上的無限風(fēng)光,你們是無法看到得?!?/p>

14、校園秋色
今天早晨,我到校特別早,便想看看校園的秋色。
我信步來到學(xué)校的花圃,只覺一股清新的空氣撲鼻而來。樹葉上滾動(dòng)著圓溜溜、亮晶晶的露(lòu lù)珠,怪可愛的。
花圃里盛開著許多菊花,它們顯得五彩繽紛:白如雪、紅似火、黃賽金。它們的姿勢(shì)也不一樣:有的伸展著很多長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的花瓣,叫“千手觀音”;有的花瓣上面直,到了下面就彎曲(qǔ
qū),叫“海底撈月”;有的菊花張牙舞爪(zhuǎ
zhǎo),叫“蟹菊”;還有一種叫“羞答答”的菊花,因?yàn)樗偸堑椭^,就像一個(gè)害羞的小女孩。真是千姿百態(tài),令人目不暇接。
花圃里多數(shù)樹木的葉子已經(jīng)枯黃了。在一陣瑟瑟的秋風(fēng)中,樹葉飄落下來,就像一只只花蝴蝶在林間飛舞,向人們傳遞著秋天的信息。然而,雪松卻依然那樣蒼翠挺拔,向人們顯示著自己頑強(qiáng)的生命力。
突然,一大片紅色映入眼簾,原來是楓樹,它就像一團(tuán)火在熊熊燃燒。我不由得輕輕吟起了唐朝著名詩人杜牧的《山行》:“遠(yuǎn)上寒山石徑斜,白云生處有人家。停車坐愛楓林晚,霜葉紅于二月花?!?/p>

第四篇:四年級(jí)閱讀理解練習(xí)題
四年級(jí)閱讀理解練習(xí)題
愛學(xué)習(xí)的小姑娘
暑假的一天,我漫步在西雙版納的油棕林里,忽然從身后傳來稚嫩的童音:“大姐姐,要樹菠蘿嗎?”我回過頭,只見一個(gè)傣家小姑娘眨著眼睛沖我笑,那雙眼睛如清泉一般清澈、透明。
“你賣嗎?”望著這大約七八的小姑娘,我反問道。“我……我不賣。”那雙會(huì)說話的大眼睛流露出一種渴求。剎那間,那目光落在我的書包上,又突然如閃電一般轉(zhuǎn)移開。傣家小姑娘的眼皮垂了下來,長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)的睫毛遮住了她那雙明眸。
“大姐姐,我只想換你書包里的書……”
?你會(huì)讀書嗎?幾年級(jí)??我不解,現(xiàn)在傣家富了怎么還不給孩子買書呢。

多么美的景致,多么可愛的小姑娘。我又能為她做點(diǎn)什么呢?對(duì)……我從書包里掏出所有的書,把適合她的書都給了她。小姑娘笑了,笑得是那樣甜,美麗的大眼睛里流露出說不盡的欣喜與感激?!按蠼憬悖@些都給你,這一筐都是樹菠蘿?!贝鲎逍」媚锝舆^書,把背在背后的筐送到我的手中之后,便迅速地跑開了?!靶∶妹?,我不要這些,書是送給你的?!?/p>
小姑娘停了下來,亮亮的大眼睛望著我:“大姐姐,這就算個(gè)紀(jì)念吧!”她向我揮著手,“謝謝你?!苯猓簩懙氖?,我把書送給小妹妹∥一群紅嘴鷗從天空飛翔而過,漸漸地消失了,留下一片抹不掉的白色。小姑娘的身影也漸漸遠(yuǎn)去,但那充滿渴求的眼睛卻深深地印在我的腦海中

4、根據(jù)分好的段落,概括段意。第一段:第二段:第三段:
5、小姑娘“那充滿渴求的眼睛卻深深地印在我的腦海中……”,她渴求的是什么?讀了這篇文章,你想到了什么? 她想讀書。我覺得我們可以讀書的人因該好好讀書。
公園一角
最引人注目的是公園的一角。這里有一個(gè)圓形的噴水池,池中有一座別致的假山。池里的水清潤(rùn)(rùn)得宛如一塊天然的翡(fěi)翠,平滑無暇,清澈見底。當(dāng)微風(fēng)拂過水面時(shí),水面上就泛起層層魚鱗般的波紋。池中的假山是由好幾塊奇石巧妙地堆成,很精巧。假山頂端噴出一股又細(xì)又高的水柱。那水柱噴出后,又斜落下來,成了一串銀白的水珠,晶瑩耀眼。微風(fēng)吹過,猶如點(diǎn)點(diǎn)白梅撒在水面上,蕩漾起一圈圈小小的漣漪(yī),飄散在空中,仿佛給假山披上一層輕紗,格外美麗。
池中有許多色彩斑(bān)斕(lán)的金魚,它們互相嬉(xī)戲,好不自在。瞧,一條花尾金魚剛浮到水面上,嗖的一下,轉(zhuǎn)頭又鉆入水底下去了。看,又來一條,眼睛大大的,鼓鼓的,穿著黑色的晚禮服,好像是要去參加隆重的盛會(huì)。它昂著頭,不停地?cái)[動(dòng)著尾巴,像是在炫耀自己:“瞧,我多漂亮!”
噴水池的周圍,擺著一盆盆綻蕾吐艷的菊花。粉紅色的花蕊嵌在金黃的花瓣中,在綠葉的映襯下顯得格外鮮艷。微風(fēng)吹來,菊花就像一個(gè)個(gè)少女在翩翩起舞。

齊白石
齊白石是我國(guó)杰出的畫家,他的畫舉世聞名。許多人紛紛拜訪齊白石,要他介紹經(jīng)驗(yàn),傳授畫畫的秘訣。齊白石在一次接待客人時(shí),誠(chéng)懇地說:“作畫并無秘訣,全在一天也不能空閑。”
這的確是他的經(jīng)驗(yàn)之談。齊白石從四十六歲起就定居北京,從那時(shí)開始,他堅(jiān)持每天都要畫畫,從來沒有間斷過。他八十五歲那一年,有一天,一連畫了四張畫。這對(duì)他來說,已經(jīng)是夠累的了。但他還是繼續(xù)畫,堅(jiān)持又畫了一張。畫完以后,他在畫上題了幾行字:“昨天大風(fēng)雨,心緒不寧,不曾作畫,今朝特此一張補(bǔ)充之,不教一日閑過也。”

老鼠買魚
一天,鼠傾巢出動(dòng),竄上大街要把所有的魚全買下來。
魚行老板問:”你們不愁吃喝,買那么多魚干啥?“
”雖不愁吃喝,可要平安無事總得破費(fèi)些錢財(cái)呀!“老鼠狡黠地笑了笑。魚行老板仍聽不明白,卻狠狠地敲起竹杠來。一下子,魚價(jià)抬高了幾倍。買完魚后,小老鼠們有的把魚扛在身上,有的舉在頭上,有的抱在手上。這時(shí)一個(gè)小老鼠跑到老鼠頭領(lǐng)面前說頭兒咱們買這么多魚干啥呀老鼠頭領(lǐng)說笨蛋咱們不愁吃有老貓就過不了安穩(wěn)日子貓愛吃魚咱們送些魚不就和貓化敵為友了嗎哈哈說著,露出得意的笑容。小老鼠仍聽不明白,但也不想去問了,心想:頭兒讓我干啥,我就干啥。跟著頭兒干準(zhǔn)沒錯(cuò)。
老鼠把魚買完了,街上沒有魚賣。貓只好自認(rèn)晦氣,運(yùn)氣不好。不過,從此每天都有老鼠給貓送魚,貓非常高興,果真與鼠”化敵為友“了。
不久,該市鼠患成災(zāi),魚行老板這才猛然醒悟,嘆息道:”我賺了錢,上了老鼠的當(dāng)?!?/p>

旅行鴿和普通的鴿子非常相似。不過,他的后背是灰色的,似乎還有些發(fā)藍(lán),而胸前的顏色又是鮮紅的,所以看上去是那么的絢麗多彩。
旅行鴿不僅好看,而且數(shù)量繁多,曾經(jīng)地球上數(shù)量最多的鳥類之一,當(dāng)它們組成龐大的隊(duì)伍,唱著高昂響亮的歌兒,飛過北美洲上空時(shí),鳥群遮住了陽光,地面上一片昏暗。有的旅行鴿的隊(duì)伍長(zhǎng)達(dá)十五公里,寬兩公里,數(shù)量足有兩一只。
改變旅行鴿命運(yùn)的,是它的肉食用起來味道鮮美。如果用棍棒向天空揮動(dòng)幾下,就能打下好幾只旅行鴿。如果用獵槍,捕殺幾百只甚至幾千只就更不在話下了。這就是當(dāng)時(shí)的事實(shí)。那時(shí)候,每天都有幾百萬只旅行鴿被火車送到城里,變成了餐桌上的佳肴。隨著人們對(duì)森林的大面積砍伐和狩獵活動(dòng)的普遍進(jìn)行,旅行鴿的數(shù)量逐漸減少。1900年的一天,隨著一聲槍響,最后一只野生的旅行鴿被擊傷了。1909年,曾經(jīng)有鋪天蓋地陣容的旅行鴿,只剩下三只了,它們生活在一家動(dòng)物園里。1919年9月1日,最后一只旅行鴿]在這家動(dòng)物園中死去,美國(guó)所有的報(bào)紙和電臺(tái)都報(bào)道了這一消息。
旅行鴿從鋪天蓋地到物種滅絕,只有短短的五十年時(shí)間。而在二十世紀(jì),竟有數(shù)以百計(jì)的動(dòng)物,從地球上永遠(yuǎn)地消失了。
⑴給文章加個(gè)題目:________。
⑵用-----畫出文中表示絢麗多彩意思的句子;用……畫出文中表示鋪天蓋地意思的句子。
⑶你認(rèn)為旅行鴿滅絕的原因是:
⑷你從旅行鴿的命運(yùn)聯(lián)想到什么?用幾句話寫下來。_________________。
”成“與”功“
失敗者對(duì)于成功,一方面是羨慕不已,另一方面是急躁不安,巴不得一口吃成個(gè)大胖子。殊不知成功是由 成 與 功 兩個(gè)字組成的 成是功的積累 叫做 功到自然成
晉代大書法家王羲之,20年臨池學(xué)書,洗筆把池水都染成黑色了,才有在書法上爐火純青的造詣。功是成的基礎(chǔ),一個(gè)人要想取得成功,必須要經(jīng)過艱苦的奮斗,這個(gè)過程也就是功的積累過程。
一滴水從檐楣上掉下來,重重地落在石頭上,”啪“的一聲炸出一朵水花,可是石頭上看不到絲毫的痕跡。然而,經(jīng)過一年、兩年……堅(jiān)硬的石頭終于被水滴滴穿。
如果成功很容易,無需奮斗就能達(dá)到的話,如果成功不是需要功的積累,不需要努力攀登的話,那成功就會(huì)變得廉價(jià),成功就失去了它原有的耀人的色澤,那我們還要成功干嗎?
李時(shí)珍跋山涉水,遍嘗百草,數(shù)十年如一日地收集整理,筆耕不息,才有藥學(xué)巨著《本草綱目》的問世;司馬遷游歷各山大川,博覽經(jīng)典秘籍,遭受宮刑,忍辱負(fù)重,筆耕不輟,才有《史記》的誕生。
在走向成功的路上,既無捷徑,也沒有寶葫蘆,所以與其坐著羨慕別人”成“,倒不如站起來積累自己的”功“。須知,任何一朵鮮花的盛開,都需要花苞長(zhǎng)期孕育;任何一枚勛章都要成功者付出相應(yīng)的代價(jià)。成功是自私的,它絕不會(huì)將輝煌施舍給懶漢,成功又是公平的,它會(huì)毫不保留地將滿天的燦爛星光照在堅(jiān)持不懈的奮斗者身上。
1、給第一小節(jié)的空白處加上標(biāo)點(diǎn)。
2、短文列舉了哪些人物的事例說明”功到自然成“?分別用一句話作簡(jiǎn)要的概括。
3、”水滴石穿“對(duì)你有什么啟示?請(qǐng)你結(jié)合自己的學(xué)習(xí)、生活實(shí)際,談?wù)勀愕膯⑹尽?/p>
4、用上 ”成功“一詞,用一句話寫寫你讀了本文以后的收獲

但這只是在岸上看到的遠(yuǎn)處的景象,等到這些船只快靠碼頭,船老大準(zhǔn)備向岸上拋纜繩的時(shí)候,情形便不一樣了。
有的船上喜笑顏開,熱火朝天,小伙子們打鬧著,嬉笑著,隔著水同岸上的人大聲地打招呼,問村里今天能有些什么事,廣播有些什么重要新聞,也故意說些無關(guān)緊要的話。這樣的船,不用問,就能斷定今天的成績(jī)很好,超額完成了生產(chǎn)指標(biāo),說不定還網(wǎng)住了幾條少見的大魚。有的船,幾乎是垂頭喪氣,悄悄地溜回來的。船老大一面不停地抽著旱煙,一面望著水面沉思,平時(shí)愛打鬧的小伙子,像泄了氣的皮球,悶聲不響地蹲在甲板上,岸上的人同他們打招呼,有的不搭理,有的只好苦笑著嚷了一句:“嗨!今天倒霉,別說了!”這樣的船總是由于某種原因,今天沒有完成任務(wù)。雖說漁家的生產(chǎn)并不在乎一天的得失,但是沒有完成自己定的指標(biāo),人們總不會(huì)有好的情緒。對(duì)集體,對(duì)生產(chǎn)的責(zé)任感,在糾纏著、沖擊著他們。
沉沉夜暮籠罩著每個(gè)魚家的笑語和沉思,無論是哪條船上的人們,都休息了,積畜力量準(zhǔn)備迎接新的戰(zhàn)斗。對(duì)于明天的信念,人們總是相同的。既使暫時(shí)泄了氣,在明天早晨出海的時(shí)候,也一定會(huì)抖擻精神,重新鼓起勁兒來。

小兒今年4年級(jí),每天放學(xué)后都忙著呼朋喚友,打打鬧鬧□互換各類卡片;周末還要組織同學(xué)們搞小隊(duì)活動(dòng),上興趣班,看上去忙得很。星期天下雨,搞不成活動(dòng),沒有小朋友來,他會(huì)拉開窗戶朝外面看他養(yǎng)的幾盆花草。冬日的冷雨打在金盞菊小小的花瓣上,花芯里積著一小彎盈盈淺水,他就在作文里馬馬虎虎地寫道:?雨濺在花瓣上,乒乒乓乓像放鞭炮……?我忍不住笑道:?兒子,太夸張了吧。?
10多歲的男孩,心思都在玩上,教會(huì)他細(xì)細(xì)觀察人和事,不是件簡(jiǎn)單的事。現(xiàn)在的小孩都是獨(dú)生子女,嬰幼兒時(shí)期,年齡小,只要給他們吃飽、穿暖,健健康康的就行了。長(zhǎng)成小小少年,就有了他們自己的興趣和玩伴了。為人父母的,并不是每時(shí)每刻都懂得孩子的心的,以為只要把孩子所有的空閑時(shí)間都利用起來,就能使孩子充實(shí)、快樂。其實(shí),小小少年在空閑時(shí)間里,最想要的是朋友的友誼。
記得兒子上幼兒園時(shí),一天傍晚,從外面玩回來,滿頭汗,花貓臉,渾身上下泥跡斑斑,手里卻舉著一捧新鮮的桂花枝,說是阿婆朋友送的。我沒大留意他的話,隨手拿了只玻璃杯裝了點(diǎn)水遞給他,讓他自己擺弄。
過了幾天,兒子又帶回一捧綴滿綠葉紅果的桔樹枝。一進(jìn)門就對(duì)我說:?阿婆朋友家的桔子多好吃呀,媽媽,你也吃一個(gè)。?我看著他,問:?阿婆朋友到底是誰呀??兒子說:?上次我和小朋友們?cè)诎⑵偶彝饷嫱?,周寒生鼻子出血了,阿婆給他止了血。阿婆還說,下次,我們有困難就找她,她是我們的朋友!?哈哈,笑死我了,瞧瞧我的兒,一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)大的人,就在外面交了老太太朋友了。
后來,我們搬家了,兒子也上一年級(jí)了。一天放學(xué)回家,兒子脖子上掛了一只紅絨線編的小網(wǎng)袋,里面是一只綠殼鴨蛋。兒子興奮得結(jié)結(jié)巴巴,過了好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間,我才聽清了這只鴨蛋的來歷。后來,我真的好感動(dòng),為這一老一少純真的感情。

長(zhǎng)成一顆珍珠
很久很久以前,有一個(gè)養(yǎng)蚌人,他想(培養(yǎng)養(yǎng)育)一顆世界上最大最美的珍珠。
他去海邊沙灘上挑選沙粒,并且一顆一顆地問那些沙粒,愿不愿意變成珍珠。那些沙粒都搖頭說不愿意。養(yǎng)蚌人從清晨問到黃昏,他都快要(絕望失望)了。
就在這時(shí),有一顆沙粒答應(yīng)了他。
旁邊的沙粒都嘲笑起那顆沙粒,說它太傻,去蚌殼里住,遠(yuǎn)離親人朋友,見不到陽光雨露明月清風(fēng)甚至還缺少空氣只能與黑暗潮濕寒冷孤寂為伍不值得可那顆沙粒還是無怨無悔地隨著養(yǎng)蚌人去了。
斗轉(zhuǎn)星移,幾年過去了,那顆沙粒已長(zhǎng)成了一顆晶瑩剔透、價(jià)值連城的珍珠,而曾經(jīng)嘲笑它傻的那些伙伴們,卻(依然竟然)只是一堆沙粒,有的已分化成土。
如果說世上有?點(diǎn)石成金?術(shù)的話,那就是?艱難困苦?了。這可是人生的至寶??!你忍耐著、堅(jiān)持著,當(dāng)走過黑暗與苦難的長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)隧道之后,你或許會(huì)驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn),平凡如沙粒的你,不知不覺中,已長(zhǎng)成了一顆珍珠。
1、將括號(hào)里不恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~語劃去。
2、給第四自然段中沒有標(biāo)點(diǎn)的地方加上標(biāo)點(diǎn)。
3、讀文章完成填空。一顆沙要,甚至只要與為伍,才能成為。
4、?如果說世上有‘點(diǎn)石成金’術(shù)的話,那就是‘艱難困苦’了。?這句話的意思是說:
5、這則寓言故事告訴我們的道理是:
一位母親與家長(zhǎng)會(huì)
第一次參加家長(zhǎng)會(huì),幼兒園的老師說:?你的兒子有多動(dòng)癥,在板凳上連三分鐘都坐不了,你最好帶他去醫(yī)院看一看。?
回家的路上,兒子問她老師都說了些什么?她鼻子一酸,差點(diǎn)流下淚來。因?yàn)槿?0名小朋友,惟有他表現(xiàn)最差:惟有對(duì)他,老師表現(xiàn)出不屑。然而,她還是告訴了她的兒子。?老師表揚(yáng)了你,說寶寶原來在板凳上坐不了一分鐘?,F(xiàn)在能坐三分鐘了。其他的媽媽都非常羨慕媽媽,以為全班只有寶寶進(jìn)步了。
那天晚上,她兒子破天荒地吃了兩碗米飯,并且沒有讓她喂。
兒子上小學(xué)了。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上,老師說:?全班50名同學(xué),這次數(shù)學(xué)考試,你兒子排49名。我們懷疑他智力有些障礙,您最好能帶他去醫(yī)院查一查。?
回去的路上,她流下了淚。然而,當(dāng)她回到家里,卻對(duì)坐在桌前的兒子說?老師對(duì)你充滿信心。他說了,你并不是個(gè)笨孩子,只要能細(xì)心些,會(huì)超過你的同桌的,這次你的同桌排在第21名。?
說這話時(shí),她發(fā)現(xiàn),兒子暗淡的眼神一下子充滿了光,沮喪的臉也一下子舒展開來。她甚至發(fā)現(xiàn),兒子溫順得讓她吃驚,好象長(zhǎng)大了許多。第二天上學(xué)時(shí),去得比平時(shí)都要早。
孩子上了初中,又一次家長(zhǎng)會(huì)。她坐在兒子的座位上,等著老師點(diǎn)她兒子的名字,因?yàn)槊看渭议L(zhǎng)會(huì),她兒子的名字在差生的行列總是被點(diǎn)到。然而,這次卻出乎她的預(yù)料,直到結(jié)束,都沒有聽到。她有些不習(xí)慣。臨別,去問老師,老師告訴她:?按你兒子現(xiàn)在的成績(jī),考重點(diǎn)高中有點(diǎn)危險(xiǎn)。?
她懷著喜悅的心情走出校門,此時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)兒子在等她。路上她幅著兒子肩膀,心里有一種說不出的甜蜜,她告訴兒子?班主任對(duì)你非常滿意,他說了,只要你努力,很有希望考上重點(diǎn)高中。?
高中畢業(yè)了;一個(gè)第一批大學(xué)錄取通知書下達(dá)的日子學(xué)校打電話讓她兒子到學(xué)校去一趟。她有一種預(yù)感,她兒子被清華錄取了,因?yàn)樵趫?bào)考時(shí),她給兒子說過,她相信他能取這所學(xué)校。
她兒子從學(xué)?;貋?,把一封印有清華大學(xué)招生辦公室的特快專遞交到她的手里,突然轉(zhuǎn)身跑到自己房間里大哭起來。邊哭邊說:?媽媽,我一直都知道我不是個(gè)聰明的孩子,是您……?
這時(shí),她悲喜交加,再也按捺不住十幾年來凝聚在心中的淚水,任它打在手中的信封上。
1、用--畫出寫母親表情的句子。
2、母親每一次開家長(zhǎng)會(huì)都對(duì)兒子說?假話?,你明白母親這樣做是為什么嗎?說說母親這樣做的理由
3、讀了這篇文章你一定有很多話要說,把你最想說的話寫在下邊。
4、試著用一句簡(jiǎn)短的話概括這篇文章的內(nèi)容。
漢字與中國(guó)心
1998年春在美國(guó)紐約,一位美國(guó)青年問我:?為什么中國(guó)人的凝聚力那么強(qiáng)??
我戲答曰:?第一,我們都吃中餐;第二,我們都講中文,用漢字。?
漢字,確實(shí)是人類一絕。其形聲義俱全,信息量遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于拼音文字。漢字又整齊又靈動(dòng),特別是適宜于表達(dá)一種微妙的、詩意的情感,一些普通的字詞,往往聯(lián)結(jié)著久遠(yuǎn)的文化底蘊(yùn):例如?中華?、?神州?、?大地?、?海內(nèi)?、?天涯?、?芳草?、?知己?……都能使受過中華文化教育的人浮想聯(lián)翩,心潮難己,這是通過翻譯稿讀中國(guó)文學(xué)作品的人所無法體會(huì)的。
最最能體現(xiàn)漢字中文的這些特別的首推中國(guó)的古典詩詞,一個(gè)中國(guó)的孩子,甚至在牙牙學(xué)語的時(shí)候,就能夠背誦許多古典的詩詞了。過年時(shí)吟?爆竹聲中一歲除?;春雨時(shí)吟?清明時(shí)節(jié)雨紛紛?;中秋時(shí)吟?明月幾時(shí)有?;送別時(shí)吟?勸君更進(jìn)一杯酒?;喜悅時(shí)吟?漫卷詩書喜欲狂?;慷慨時(shí)吟?大江東去?;激越時(shí)吟?憑欄處瀟瀟雨歇?……古典詩詞已經(jīng)規(guī)定了、鑄就了中國(guó)人的心理結(jié)構(gòu)。
我曾經(jīng)對(duì)于文字改革持激烈的反對(duì)態(tài)度?,F(xiàn)在,人們漸漸明白漢字是不應(yīng)該也不可能廢除了。
1、根據(jù)上下文理解詞語:戲答:________鑄就:_____心潮難己:____
2、選做題
(1)文中提到的?神州?、?海內(nèi)?、?天涯??知己?等詞語分別指什么?
?神州?指:_______?海內(nèi)?指:_________?天涯?指:________?知己?指:_________
(2)寫出文中下列幾句詩詞的后半句:
清明時(shí)節(jié)雨紛紛,____明月幾時(shí)有,______勸君更進(jìn)一杯酒,__大江東去
3、仔細(xì)閱讀課文,回答問題:
(1)漢字中文的特點(diǎn)是什么?_
(2)中國(guó)古典詩詞對(duì)中國(guó)人的影響主要體現(xiàn)在什么地方?
4、根據(jù)你對(duì)課文的理解,說一說為什么中國(guó)人的凝聚力會(huì)那么強(qiáng)? 暖意
一天,走進(jìn)一輛出租車,司機(jī)正在收聽廣播,是一個(gè)不新鮮的故事--某日某路口發(fā)生一起交通事故,肇事司機(jī)逃逸,撇下一個(gè)叫陸小六的人在血泊中呻吟。一個(gè)不愿透露姓名的人把陸小六送到了醫(yī)院,值班大夫薛達(dá)在未收取陸小六住院押金的情況下為他實(shí)施了手術(shù)……
?這年頭,做點(diǎn)分(fēnfèn)內(nèi)的事也能混個(gè)名人當(dāng)。醫(yī)生嘛,可不就得(déděi)救死扶傷,不收押金救條命也值得上喇叭吹!?司機(jī)憤憤不平地說。
電波繼續(xù)傳送:陸小六脫離危險(xiǎn)后居然不辭而別,身后,欠下了上萬元的醫(yī)藥費(fèi)……
?這個(gè)不仗義的東西。唉,這年頭,啥樣的人都有。有些人呢,就是不配那一撇一捺--快聽,要通緝那陸小六呢!?
女播音員的聲音隱去,取而代之的是一個(gè)帶有濃重南方口音的男聲:?陸小六,你好,我是你的醫(yī)生薛達(dá)。你現(xiàn)在在哪里?腿上的傷口沒有感染吧?你走得很匆忙,連聲招呼都不打,可把我急壞了。陸小六,我今天來到交通臺(tái)的直播間,是想通過廣播的方式盡快找到你。我不是向你討要醫(yī)藥費(fèi)的,我只是想對(duì)你說,你的腿骨上還留有兩塊金屬夾,如果不盡快取出,你可能會(huì)面臨截肢的危險(xiǎn)……陸小六,你記著,你的醫(yī)生薛達(dá)在博愛醫(yī)院等你。?
側(cè)眼看著那位饒舌的司機(jī),只見他的嘴巴緊緊抿住,臉上寫滿感動(dòng)。拐彎了,他很抒情地按了三聲喇叭……
1、劃去括號(hào)中不正確的讀音。
2、用?不辭而別?寫一個(gè)句子。
3、(1)?有些人呢,就是不配那一撇一捺。??有些人?指誰?你是如何理解這句話的?
(2)?仗義?是什么意思?司機(jī)為什么說陸小六?不仗義??
4、這篇文章想表現(xiàn)在中心是。
A、責(zé)怪司機(jī)太饒舌B、批評(píng)陸小六不應(yīng)不辭而別C、譴責(zé)肇事司機(jī)D、贊揚(yáng)醫(yī)生對(duì)病人的高度負(fù)責(zé)的精神
5、你如果就是那位司機(jī),你最后想說什么? 她是我的朋友
我聽說過這樣一件事。
戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)時(shí)期,有一天,幾發(fā)炮彈落在一所孤兒院里。兩名兒童當(dāng)場(chǎng)被炸死,還有幾名兒童受了傷,其中有個(gè)小姑娘。
附近醫(yī)院的醫(yī)生和護(hù)士接到消息,帶著救護(hù)用品迅速趕到了,經(jīng)過查看,他們確認(rèn)這個(gè)小姑娘傷得最重,如果不立刻搶救,就會(huì)因?yàn)樾菘撕土餮^多而死去。
輸血迫在眉睫。醫(yī)生和護(hù)士都不具有她的血型。有幾名受傷的孤兒卻可以給她輸血。一位女醫(yī)生告訴這幾個(gè)孤兒,如果他們不能補(bǔ)足這個(gè)小姑娘失去的血,她一定會(huì)死去,問是否有人愿意獻(xiàn)血。
一陣沉默之后,一只小手顫抖地舉起來。忽然又放下去,然后又舉起來。
噢謝謝你醫(yī)生說你叫什么名字。
?阮恒。?||
叫阮恒的小男孩很快地躺在草墊上。他的胳膊用酒精擦拭后,一根針扎進(jìn)他的血管、抽血過程中阮恒一動(dòng)不動(dòng),一句話也不說。
過了一會(huì)兒,他突然啜泣了一下,全身顫抖并迅速用另一只手捂住臉。?疼嗎,阮恒??醫(yī)生問道。阮恒搖搖頭。但過了一會(huì)兒,他又開始嗚咽并再一次試圖用手掩蓋他的痛苦。醫(yī)生又問是不是針刺疼了他,他又搖了搖頭。
接著,他那不時(shí)的啜泣變成持續(xù)不斷的低聲哭泣。他眼睛緊閉著,用牙咬著自己的小拳頭,想竭力制止抽泣。
醫(yī)生問他為什么這樣哭,然后用輕柔的聲音安慰他。男孩立刻停止了哭泣,好像剛才什么事也沒有發(fā)生一樣。||
事后,醫(yī)生對(duì)周圍的人說:?他是以為自己就要死了。他想準(zhǔn)會(huì)讓他把所有的血都給那個(gè)小姑娘,好讓她活下來。?
?但是他為什么愿意這樣做呢??有人問。
醫(yī)生轉(zhuǎn)過身向那個(gè)小男孩提出同樣的問題。小男孩回答說:?她是我的朋友。?||
1、寫出下列詞語的近義詞。(1)愿意(2)迫在眉睫
2、抄出文中表示?哭?的詞語,并再舉兩個(gè)。舉例:
3、給文中??里加上恰當(dāng)?shù)臉?biāo)點(diǎn),4、文中畫??的句子說明了什么?
5、你認(rèn)為怎樣才叫?朋友??
6、短文結(jié)尾的特點(diǎn)是。點(diǎn)明中心;照應(yīng)開頭;扣題。
7、認(rèn)真讀文章,概括短文中心思想。
