賣雨傘的老人
Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella(傘). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, needed taxi-fare(出租汽車費(fèi)) to go back home. My mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But the old man didn’t get into a taxi. We followed(跟隨) him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.
1. The old man sold an umbrella to the writer and her mother.
2. He gave it to them for only a pound because he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi fare to go back home.
3. The umbrella was worth more than one pound.
4. The old man sold his own umbrella.
5. He was an honest man.
參考答案與解析：
1. A 推理判斷題。雖然文中不可直接找到答案，但由后文的bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound.中pound前用的是the(那) 和he sold it again中的again(又)可推斷出，作者和他母親買了那個(gè)老人的傘。
2. B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由文中所述這個(gè)老人收錢后并沒(méi)乘taxi回家，而是去pub喝酒可知。
3. A 推理判斷題。他要將傘賣給作者時(shí)說(shuō)for only a pound中的only可以推斷，那把傘不只值1英鎊。
4. B推理判斷題。這個(gè)老頭先賣給了作者一把傘，可是他喝酒后又took up one of the many wet umbrellas there，并將其很快賣掉，由此推斷賣的并不是他自己的傘，而是別人的傘。
5. B推理判斷題。這個(gè)老人原來(lái)說(shuō)賣傘乘taxi回家，事實(shí)上是上pub喝酒，后來(lái)又拿別的'雨傘去賣掉，由此可推斷他是不誠(chéng)實(shí)的
為兒童制定法律的益處
In general，laws for children are a good thing.
One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.
Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.
Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(對(duì)比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列各問(wèn)題。
16. How were children treated in industrial countries 100years ago?
________________________________________.
17. What does the author mean by “go too far?”
________________________________________.
18. Can a teacher in Germany hit his students in public school?
________________________________________.
19. What kind of people can beat children in Sweden?
__________________________________________.
20. What does it mean by “a plan for children to divorce from their parents?”
_________________________________________.
參考答案與解析：
【文章大意】通常而言，為兒童制定法律是件好事。100多年前，在工業(yè)國(guó)家，7歲大的孩子在工廠一天要工作18小時(shí)，工廠的老板可以打小孩，家長(zhǎng)和老師們也可以這樣做。今天世界上有很多保護(hù)兒童的法律。有些人認(rèn)為兒童應(yīng)該遵紀(jì)守法，否則就要受到懲罰。其他人則不同，愛(ài)斯基摩人從不懲罰兒童。如果孩子們做得太過(guò)份了，父母親用開(kāi)玩笑的方式來(lái)懲罰他們。在其他地方則不同，美國(guó)的家長(zhǎng)可以在家打孩子的屁股，但老師不能在學(xué)校打?qū)W生。德國(guó)跟美國(guó)一樣。但在瑞士任何人都不能打孩子，并有專門的政府部門來(lái)維護(hù)孩子們的權(quán)利。
16. They were treated very badly.
17. Do something too much.
18. No, he can’t.
19. None can do that.
20. A plan for ending the children’s relationship with their parents.
怎么交朋友
Its hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接觸) other people. It's easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
Don't be afraid to show people what youre really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being in-terested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect (尊敬), and admire (羨慕)—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of peo-ple. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.
1. How can we have more friends, get in touch with other people or stay at home?
2. When Jim talks to people, he always looks right, left, or at the floor. Do you think it's right? Why or why not?
3. Cindy always talks about herself when she talks to other people. What advice (it'80 do you think she needs to follow?
4. What should you do if you want to have more chances for making friends?
5. What's the main idea of the passage?
參考答案與解析：
1. Get in touch with other people.回答選擇問(wèn)句不能用Yes或No來(lái)回答，而是從選項(xiàng)中選擇一項(xiàng)進(jìn)行回答。本題答案由第1段前兩句可知。
2. No. / I don't think so. Because people may think he's not interest-ed in them. / Because he should look at people in the eye. / Because it's impolite / not polite 可在第3段找到答案。
3. Be a good listener. / Let people talk about them-selves before talking about “her, her, her.” / Listen to other people first 可根據(jù)第4段的內(nèi)容來(lái)回答。
4. Be friendly with other (a lot of) people. / Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect and admire—not just with those who are easy to meet. / Get out to meet other people.
5. How to make friends / To make friends / Make friends. / Making friends根據(jù)首尾段即可概括出

閱讀理解【1】
Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.
A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited
2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.
A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you
C. quarrel with you D. help you up
3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?
A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.
C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.
4. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?
A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.
B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.
C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.
D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.
5. Which of the following is this passage about?
A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.
1. B。這是一個(gè)考查細(xì)節(jié)和事實(shí)的.題目。文章中有明確的敘述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所問(wèn)問(wèn)題和原文的敘述完全一樣。
2. D。這也是一個(gè)考查細(xì)節(jié)和事實(shí)的題目。在所給文章中可以找到這樣地?cái)⑹觯篧hen you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根據(jù)這一敘述，我們可以判斷：當(dāng)你在體育課上摔倒時(shí)，你的老師和同學(xué)們肯定會(huì)幫你站起來(lái)的。
3. B。這一道閱讀理解題同樣是考查事實(shí)和細(xì)節(jié)的題目。在閱讀文章里我們也能找到關(guān)于這問(wèn)題的敘述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.
4. A。這是一道判斷題目。閱讀文章里明確敘述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.閱讀理解題的A項(xiàng)說(shuō)，有車的人永遠(yuǎn)不愿在室外走，與文章所講完全不同，因此是不對(duì)的。
5. C。這是一道考查文章主題的題目。這篇文章共有三段。 第一段的主題句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主題句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主題句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主題都是圍繞happiness展開(kāi)的，所以正確答案是happiness。
閱讀理解【2】
A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鯨魚). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鯊魚) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.
So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.
1. Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.
A. in a life-raft B. in Miami
C. in Simony D. in Panama
2. The whales hit the side of the boat, and then _______.
A. they brought in a lot of water
B. they broke the side of the boat
C. they pulled the boat
D. they went under the water
3. After their boat sank, the couple _______.
A. jumped into the life-raft
B. heard water
C. watched the boat go under water
D. stayed in the life-raft
4. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.
A. tins of food and bottles of water
B. a fishing-line and a machine
C. whales and sharks
D. Twenty passing ships
5. When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.
A. they were too excited to stand up
B. they couldn’t wait to climb onto the boat
C. their life-raft was beginning to break up
D. they knew their two months at sea would be over
【答案與解析】這是一篇關(guān)于一對(duì)夫婦如何遇到海難，然后在海上的救生艇上生活了66天后獲救的小故事。
1. C。在第二自然段的第1句就告訴我們they left Panama, Simony, they met some whales 說(shuō)他們是在Simony 旅游時(shí)遇見(jiàn)Whales.
2. B。我們從第二自然段得知They started to hit the side of the boat,也就是說(shuō)是the whales broke the side of the boat。
3. D。在他們的船沉沒(méi)之后，the couple是一直待在船上直至獲救的，而不是一直都在jumped into the life-raft。
4. B。根據(jù)第3段的第2句They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives可知：a fishing-line 和 a machine救了他們的命。
5. D。由最后一段After fifty days at sea...我們知道：the couple是太虛弱所以不能站起來(lái)，是由船長(zhǎng)carried them onto his boat, 而救生艇早在出事后的50天就壞掉了，而不是獲救當(dāng)天壞的，所以A、B、C都可以排除，D項(xiàng)為正確選項(xiàng)。
