题目内容

【题目】Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Italy. He is best known as an artist today. One of his famous paintings is called Mona Lisa. However, Leonardo had many other natural abilities. He was also a great inventor. Many of his inventions have become important in modern day life. Although Leonardo hated war, he invented many different machines used for wars. His most special invention was the machine gun, which was produced and used in war many years later.

By watching the way birds fly, Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying. Among his sketches(素描) we can see several objects. We consider them as modern flying machines. Leonardo spent many hours thinking about how to make good use of time. He developed ideas for labor-saving machines like cutting machines.

Leonardo was a strange man. He didn't eat any meat, which was unusual in those times. He never published his ideas and scientific discoveries. He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror, starting from the right side of the page and moving to the left.

We have very little of his work today. Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings. He left many unfinished because he thought they were not perfect. No one in his life time knew how great Leonardo was. We now believe, however, that he was one of the cleverest men the world has ever known.

练习册系列答案

It all started by accident (偶然) when Eve discovered her mother’s ink pen and loved using it.

Eve’s mother, Ruth is so artistic that she is able to change Eve’s random (随意的) lines into shapes which are easily recognized (辨认). A random curve (曲线) becomes an elephant’s ear, and crooked (弯曲的) lines become the branches of a tree. Nothing seems to escape her eye — she can see and paint the outline of a woman’s face or the hooked nose of a bird where most people would just see meaningless scratches (乱涂乱画).

Since then, the mother and daughter have worked together on several quite attractive pieces. The process begins with Eve using a black ink pen to make her “sketches” (草图). Later, Ruth takes over with her water-colours, quickly turning the doodles into a “grown-up” painting.

“All of the pieces are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, the reason for this is that I don’t want to give myself any room to over analyze (过度分析) or second guess,” Ruth wrote on her blog.

According to Ruth, children can help bring out creativity in adults. “As we get older, we tend to (趋向于) create a box that everything is supposed to fit neatly into. As a child, there is no box. It is just endless freedom to explore any and every possibility of creativity and adventure,” she said. “I feel so blessed that my daughter can remind me once again what it is like to paint like a child.”

【1】What does Eve NOT draw using her mother’s ink pen?

A. The Branches of a tree.B. Crooked lines.

C. Meaningless scratches.D. Random lines.

【2】What’s the process of Eve’s sketches to her mother’s painting?

① Ruth spends within 30-60 minutes turning doodles into a painting.

② Eve uses a black ink pen to make her sketches.

③ Ruth takes over with her water-colours.

A. ③②①B. ①②③C. ②③①D. ②①③

【3】How does Ruth think of children and adults?

A. Children are more creative than adults.

B. Adults are more creative than children.

C. Children tend to over analyze something.

D. Adults explore any possibility of adventure.

【题目】语篇翻译阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

When I was young, I always wanted a cat. But my parents disagreed. Every year I would ask for a cat, but I always got the same answer, “No.” My father said, “Cats are dirty and smell terrible.” Then it was my mom’s turn, “65. 我认为我们照顾不了猫。”

Right when I was about to give up hope, my seventeenth birthday came. My parents still disagreed, but my friends were a different story. They showed up at my front door on that day. 66. I jumped up and down happily because my dream had finally come true!

After a long time, Bandit was able to successfully mix in my family. I had prepared a lot of plans for Bandit and me. I wanted to paint pictures of us, go on road trips and dress up in fashionable clothes together. 67. 令我惊讶的是，Bandit是我曾见过的最害羞的猫。He hated joining me and I often shouted at him.

Later he became closer to my mom. 68. In my opinion, nobody loved him more than I did. However, he loved my mom more. I asked my mom why. “What I do have is patience,” Mom told me. 69. Ever since then, Bandit has been teaching me to be more patient. Because of him, I became more responsible, too.

Have you ever been in an animal rescue？ It can be very heartbreaking， but sometimes， with l【1】and skill， a tragic story can turn into an inspiring one． This is what happened to Winter， the dolphin．

Winter was found off the coast of Florida in December of 2005． She was just a few months old， a【2】，and caught in a crab trap． The ropes from the trap were wrapped tightly around her body．

The fisherman who found her called for help． And a rescue team soon arrived． But the s【3】 was really tough． The ropes had cut off the blood circulation to her tail． She was badly hurt． People didn't think she would survive． Most dolphins who become trapped in ropes die． Hoping for a miracle and racing against time to save her， the rescuers transferred her to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida．

After much hard work， the doctors m【4】to save Winter， but sadly， not her tail． Her tail were too damaged and had to be removed so Winter could live．

【题目】 Do you know anything about email?

Email is a kind of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication experts. "Email has helped the spread of careless writing habits,” says Baron, a professor at an American university. She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in emails show the growing unconcern about the way we write. Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing in emails. “The more we use the email, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.

Others say that though it has poor writing, email has done what several generations (代）of English teachers couldn’t do. It has made writing fashionable again.

“Email is a new communication technology,” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University. “It fills the gap (缺口）between spoken language and the formal (正式的）methods of writing. It is the purest form of written speech.”

Lancashire says email can help people who are usually afraid of writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen. He says this is because email is close to speech. “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.

Still, he accepts that this freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble. The number of emails sent in a day almost is the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing the content (内容）of a typical email message is not often exact.

【1】What can we know according to Baron?

A. Email changes the way people communicate in everyday life.

B. People should check the email many times before sending it.

C. More people don’t take the mistakes seriously when writing an email.

D. Email has become a normal way of writing.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. Email.B. The poor writing.C. The good writing.D. The communication technology.

【3】Ian Lancashire thinks

A. email makes writing become popular againB. it is helpful for people to use email to express themselves

C. emails are easier to write than lettersD. people should remember the mistakes in emails

【4】What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. People should stop using email to communicate.B. People have different opinions about email.

C. People should learn to write email correctly.D. People have realized the importance of good writing.
