【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

From the time l was young,I've noticed changes in people's hairstyles, clothes, facial expressions and behaviors. 【1】 I respond, “I pay attention."

I believe in paying attention to the world around me, in the power of paying attention..

I grew up on our family farm, surrounded by fields of wheat, soybeans, and corn. My grandpa Bohil always had an eye to the sky, interpreting the clouds and their various colors. He knew when the soybeans got the color of brown paper bags it was time to harvest. He knew when the wheat rustled (沙沙作响) like scratchy dry skin it was time to harvest that, too. 2

My mother sewed everything from curtains to clothes. She made quite a few of my clothes. Her pattern work was so precise, her seam(线缝)work so exact. Fittings were exercises in detail. 3 The women in my family practiced exacting crafts, requiring precision and an eye for detail, attention to color combinations, a love of a patterned world.

4 It was the clothes on my body, and the quilt on my bed. Noticing was the crops in the fields, and the clouds in the sky.

I' m a teaching writer. Seeing details is my job, both in my writing and in my students’. Nothing is too small to ignore. Noticing is my job. _5 I notice the sun and clouds on my pages and theirs, both the bright skies and the storms on the horizon.

The world is made up of one detail after another, and by opening my eyes to each of them, I can see the world much more clearly, much more broadly. By paying attention, I learn to expand.

A. So if I notice that your eyes look dull instead of bright, you will know why.

B. She would tear the seams and start over if something wasn 't quite right.

C. I sew, quilt, plant, cultivate, and harvest, alone and with my students.

D. My great-grandmother quilted blankets for each of us.

E. Often, people act surprised and ask, "You noticed?"

F. Farming is about noticing, about paying attention.

G. Noticing was all around me.

【题目】Imagine looking for your lost dog. You step into a cave(洞穴). But instead of the dog, you find beautiful cave paintings. You see paintings of horses, deer, and bison that are drawn in black, brown, red and yellow. Your first question would probably be "Who did this?"

This is what happened to four French boys in 1940. They found the Lascaux caves. The paintings the boys discovered in those caves are 17,000 years old. They were drawn by the ancient people called Cro-Magnons.

Cro-Magnons looked much like people of today. They used tools, such as fishing nets. But their art was extremely good. The main cave at Lascaux is called the Great Hall of Bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colors. The largest animal is 18 feet long. There are smaller animals, such as bison, stags(雄鹿) and a bear. There is also a strange spotted two-horned (两只角的) animal.

To the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of multicolored animals. One painting is called Little Horses. On the ceiling are horses and cows. The most unusual sight may be in the Shaft of the Dead Man where there is a thinoceros (犀牛), a carefully drawn dead man, a wounded bison and a bird.

Why did Cro-Magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? Did the drawings call upon some magical power? Did the Cro-Magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? There is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. The Cro- Magnons were interested in the world. They looked at beauty and they understood it.

【1】The author uses the word "you" in the first paragraph to _____.

A. pull the reader into the story

B. make it clear that this is a true story

C. give the reader good directions to find the caves

D. compare present-day readers with the Cro-Magnon people

【2】Most of the drawings in the caves are about _____.

A. boys B. tools C. dead men D. animals

【3】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Cave paintings are beautiful.

B. Who found the beautiful cave paintings.

C. The Lascanx caves hold ancient colorful paintings.

D. Drawings of horses are on the walls of the Lascaux caves.

【题目】阅读理解

As I walked along the Edgware Road, I felt as though the world was closing in on me. All the sounds I take for granted, had gone. I had entered a world of silence. This unsettling experience occurred a few weeks ago when I agreed to go deaf for the day to support the work of the charity Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, for which I am an ambassador.

When I managed to take a cab to the office of my manager, Gavin, I couldnt hear what the taxi driver was saying to me. Conversation was impossible. Then, when I reached the office, I had to ring the intercom five times as I couldnt hear a response.

Everybody said I was shouting at them--- I simply wasnt aware of how loudly I was speaking as I couldnt hear my own voice. Gavin kept telling me my phone was ringing, but I didnt realize. I was too busy trying to concentrate on reading his lips. And when he tried to tell me a code to put into my phone, I had to keep asking him to repeat it, more slowly. Eventually he lost his patience and snapped at me: Just give me the phone! I was shocked.

People couldnt be bothered to repeat themselves, so they kept trying to do things for me that I was perfectly capable of doing myself. I felt Id lost control.

Being deaf for the day was extraordinarily tiring. I had to work so hard to listen with my eyes, get peoples attention and use my other senses to make up for my lack of hearing. It was a huge, exhausting effort.

Until that experience I didnt realize how much I took my own hearing for granted, or the sorts of emotions and experiences deaf people go through. If a deaf person asks you to repeat something, never think: It doesnt matter. It does matter.

【1】Why did the author focus on reading Gavins lips?

A. By doing this he could understand what Gavin was saying.

B. He wanted to be aware of what the code was.

C. He attempted to get the code into the phone by himself.

D. He didnt want to bother Gavin to repeat what he was saying.

【2】What advice does the author give in the passage?

A. Speak at the top of your voice if you cant hear others speaking.

B. Repeat things as slowly as possible for the deaf.

C. Take your own hearing for granted.

D. Do as many things as possible for the deaf.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Its boring to live in a world of silence.

B. The author has to use gestures to communicate with his friends.

C. There are many other ways to help the deaf understand others.

D. Many ordinary people just take hearing for granted until they lose it.

【4】What can be the best title of the passage?

A. Helping the Deaf with More Patience

B. Dont Take Your Hearing for Granted

C. Listening with Eyes

D. The Importance of Reading Lips

【题目】Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia, though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

1It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

2What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

A. People only need reading, though.

B. Reading is still necessary today.

C. Reading is more fun than television.

D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.

3Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. Types of books.

B. Kinds of dictionaries.

C. Lists of history books.

D. Collections of stories and poems.
