题目内容
19.IN ancient languages,the seven days of the week were named after the sun,the moon,and the five planets that ancient people knew about (luckily,they only knew about five planets then,or our weeks would be much longer).There is a good reason that in English"Sunday"has the word"sun"in it.Sunday seems to be everyone's favorite day of the week.It makes sense that it's named after everyone's favorite thing in the sky!Do any other weekday names sound like astrological (占星的) words?How about"Monday
"and"moon",or"Saturday"and"Saturn"?
If you learn French or Spanish,you will see even more planets in the names of the days of the week.The languages are rooted in Latin (拉丁文) and the Latin names match the planet names for all seven days.
English is a strange language.It is very confusing.The days of the week are a perfect example of this confusion.A few are from Latin,and a few are from German."Tuesday"is named after a German God:Tiw (Tiw's day).Friday is named after a German Goddess (女神):Freya.
English words change spelling,meaning and roots that are based on wars and kings.That's why English is so hard to learn!Learning the names of the days of the week can be like a history lesson in itself!
53.Which day of the week was named after the moon?B
A.Sunday
B.Monday
C.Saturday
D.Tuesday
54.We can tell from the story that"Saturn"isA.
A.a planet's name

C.a God's name
D.a Goddess'name
55.What do the underlined words are rooted in mean?D

56.The story mainly tells usB.
A.the seven days of the week are named after Planets
B.where the English names of the days of the week come from and how they change.
C.why there are seven days in a week
D.which day of the week is people's favourite.
分析 文章大意:
你知道星期几是怎么来的吗,古时候人们用星球的名字来命名星期.
以太阳命名星期日,月亮命名周一,其他五天都由当时观察到地另外五个星球命名.
英语很难学,是因为它会吸收很多其他的语言,比如拉丁文,德文等.
解答 53.B,推理判断题,文中提到"How about"Monday"and"moon",or"Saturday"and"Saturn"?"星期一来自于月亮,星期六来自于土星,由此确定选择B.
54.A,推理判断题,文中提到"Do any other weekday names sound like astrological words"你还知道星期几是来自于星星吗?后文提到了Saturn,可知其是一个星球的名字,由此确定选择A.
55.D,字义猜测题,文中提到"the Latin names match the planet names for all seven days."拉丁人用星球的名字来命名星期,所以应该是此门语言来自于拉丁文,所以选择D.
56.B,推理判断题,文章开头就指出了中心思想,即星期几都是怎么来的,后来是怎么变化的,由此确定选择B.
点评 对于阅读表达题,一定要记得首先通读全文,了解文章大意,然后再根据文章关键词,关键句,掌握细节问题,并进行推理判断,再去回答具体的问题.
