题目内容

【题目】Long, long ago people couldn’t write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. 【1】

The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (纸沙草) plants. People in other places wanted to learn from the Egyptians to use papyrus.

【2】 So, parchment (羊皮纸), made from goatskin, later took its place.

In ancient China books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.【3】 Paper-making later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.

【4】 They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.

【5】 Once a luxury (奢侈品) only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.

A. It took years to finish making just one book.

B. But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt.

C. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.

D. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.

E. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.

F. Books in the West didn’t change for a long time after that.

G. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.

【答案】

【1】C

【解析】

本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了纸张和印刷术的发展历史，从人类发现纸到可以印刷书本的历程。

【1】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据后文The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus （纸沙草） plants可知有了写作，记事情变得更容易了。分析选项，可知C项符合题意。

【2】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据后文So，parchment （羊皮纸），made from goatskin，later took its place因此，羊皮制成的羊皮纸，后来取代了它（纸沙草）的地位。可知出现的问题是纸草生长主要在埃及。故选B

【3】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据前文And then they invented paper．Made of trees，paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment然后他们发明了纸。树木做的纸比纸草或羊皮纸更容易和更便宜。这种纸更容易写。分析选项只在G项（它的表面更光滑，也适合书写）与之相符，故选G

【4】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本段的内容是说有（ ）人找到了一种印刷的速度的方法。分析选项可知，只有E项（中国人首先想到了一个加快速度的方法。）与加快印刷有关。我们都知道中国发明了印刷术。所以E项符合题意。

【5】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据前文The letters could be used to print copy after copy，and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words这些字母可以用来复印复写，并且把这些字母一次又一次放在一起打印不同的单词。第5题后内容一旦有钱人能买得起奢侈品，他们很快就会成为人人都能享受的财富。可知最后的书可以打印成千上万。分析选项右知，选项D符合题意。

七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．由于七选五的题型空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。如选项中的E与第4小题所在的倒数第二段的内容一致，都是说印刷速度加快了。由此可确定E符合。第3小题前说这种纸容易写，与选项G（它的表面更光滑，也适合书写）与之相符，故选G

【题目】 Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？

Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.

Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"

And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______

A.The Waves series are suitable for adults.

B.It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.

C.Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.

D.Teenagers should be encouraged to read.

【2】What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______

A.Its writer.

B.Its cover.

C.Its price.

D.Its title.

【3】What do we know about the Waves series？ ______

A.They have attractive covers.

B.They are about real facts.

C.They are popular with teenage boys.

D.They are wrongly placed in the children section.

【4】What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______

A.To compare different series of teenage fiction.

B.To give information about a new series of books.

C.To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.

D.To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.

【题目】 My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.

Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.

Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”

My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.

Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遗产)that I will create. And I know she would be proud.

【1】The Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table because ________.

A.she had no teethB.she had nothing to do

【2】What did the author learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money?

A.Her grandmother didn’t have much money.

B.Her grandmother preferred boys to girls.

C.It was a shame to accept others’ money.

D.It was important for her to work hard.

【3】What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl” ?

A.She was really a good girl.

B.She needed to continually improve herself.

C.She should be proud of her manners and behaviors.

D.She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.

【4】What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage?

A.She loved telling stories.

B.She had never worked in her life.

C.She set a great example for the author.

D.She was a mean woman with old-fashioned values.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

One evening years ago in New York, I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old,【1】 (run) freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away. The boy would fall to the grass,【2】(get) up, and without looking back 【3】his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider【4】as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I【5】(touch) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run【6】(free) and to do it as 【7】(good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he【8】(fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about【9】someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely.

I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many【10】(part) of my life.
