For Jason, the youngest of the three Hardman children, Ellsinore was wonderful, but it wasn’t perfect. Something very important was missing—books. There had been libraries at his father’s last duty station, and Jason had used them all regularly. But the library nearest to Ellsinore was in Monoroe, six miles away, and it had a rule that limited him to borrowing three books a week.

Jason was then ten years old, and he mentioned the problem to his mother, Linda Hardman. She knew of several boxes of books kept in Ellsinore’s last library, which had closed several years before for short of money.“Why don’t you look through those old books and see if there are any you can use?” she suggested.

As Jason began sorting through the books, he became excited. The books were old but in good condition. And suddenly an idea hit him. There were enough books to start a library.

So he went to his father.“ I want to start a library and I need your help,” he said.

About a week later, Jason’s father led him to the Mayor of the town. The Mayor listened to Jason very carefully and promised to consider his plan before making a decision.

A month went by. Jason heard nothing about his plan from the Mayor. He soon found the Mayor’s phone number and each night after supper he would pick up the phone and call the Mayor. After weeks of nightly calls, the Mayor began to think that building a library was not just a passing idea for the boy. He then agreed to offer help.

1.How many people were there in Jason’s family?

A.Three.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　  B.Four.

C.Five.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　    D.Six.

2.Ellsinore was the name of __________.

A.a place　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B.a person

C.a library　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　   D.Jason’s

3.What was Jason’s problem?

A.The nearest library was too small for him.

B.He did not know where to borrow books.

C.He was limited to reading three books a week.

D.He could not get enough books to read from the library.

4.How did Jason find the Mayor’s phone number?

A.His parents helped him.

B.He found the number in the Mayor’s office.

C.The Mayor told him.

D.The writer of the story did not tell us.

5.What does“a passing idea”mean in the passage?

A.An idea which a child usually had.

B.An idea which has something to do with a certain place.

C.An idea which will soon disappear.

D.An idea which a person had in the past.

 

答案：C;A;D;D;C
解析：

1、該題為計(jì)算題。根據(jù)文章第一句“For Jason, the youngest of the three Hardman children…”，可以知道Hardman一家有三個(gè)孩子；再根據(jù)下文中提到Jason有父親和母親，這樣可以推斷出他家有5口人。

2、該題為推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中“There had been libraries at his father’s last duty station…”一句話，特別是“There”一詞，可以判斷出這是個(gè)地方的名稱。

3、該題為細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段的說明可以知道該城鎮(zhèn)沒有圖書館，最近的城鎮(zhèn)有圖書館，但是每周只能借三本書。以上信息說明他沒有足夠的書籍來閱讀。

4、該題為細(xì)節(jié)題。閱讀文章最后兩段相關(guān)的信息句，沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)他找到電話號(hào)碼的途徑。

5、該題為詞義猜測題。passing的意思是“短暫的，一時(shí)的”。

閱讀理解

　　James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves．His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9．There, a school teacher asked the youth his name．

　　“J．C．,”he replied．

　　She thought he had said“Jesse”, and he had a new name．

　　Owens ran his first race at age 13．After high school, he went to Ohio State University．He had to work part time so as to pay for his education．As a second year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later．

　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs．His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet．He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event．He did try, and the results are in the record book．

　　The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political．Hitler did not congratulate any of the African American winners．

　　“It was all right with me,”he said years later．“I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway．”

　　Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country, either．In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death．

　　Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him．He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles and dogs．

　　“Sure, it bothered me,”he said later．“But at least it was an honest living．I had to eat．”

　　In time, however, his gold medals changed his life．“They have kept me alive over the years,”he once said．“Time has stood still for me．That golden moment dies hard．”

  Ask Dr ? Jeffers

This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.

Dear Dr. Jeffers,

One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/

—Jane Leon, New York, USA

Dear Ms. Leon,

Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受試者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（減）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假設(shè)）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.

—Dr. J.

Dear Dr. Jeffers,

My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?

—Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada

Dear Mr. Lewis,

It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.

—Dr. J.

1.What can we learn from the answer to the first question?                           

A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.

B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.

C. Test subjects have been used tomake decisions.

D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.

2.People laugh when tickled by others bedause the feeling is _______.                  

A. unexpected        B.expected        C. comfortable        D. uncomfortable

3.Who has got a little child according to the text?                                   

A. Ms. Leon          B. Mr. Lewis        C. Mr. Moeller        D. Dr. Jeffers

4.According to the text, Jeffers is probably _______.                                 

A. a computer programmer                B. a test subject

C. a human brain expert                   D. a medical doctor

閱讀理解:  閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

Imagine you’re at a party full of strangers. You’re nervous. Who are these people? How do you start a conversation? Fortunately, you’ve got a thing that sends out energy at tiny chips in everyone’s name tag (標(biāo)簽). The chips send back name, job, hobbies, and the time available for meeting-whatever. Making new friends becomes simple

This hasn’t quite happened in real life. But the world is already experiencing a revolution using RFID technology.

An RFID tag with a tiny chip can be fixed in a product, under your pet’s skin, even under your own skin. Passive RFID tags have no energy source-batteries because they do not need it. The energy comes from the reader, a scanning device, that sends out energy (for example, radio waves) that starts up the tag immediately.

Such a tag carries information specific to that object, and the data can be updated. Already, RFID technology is used for recognizing each car or truck on the road and it might appear in your passport. Doctors can put a tiny chip under the skin that will help locate and obtain a patient’s medical records. At a nightclub in Paris or in New York the same chip gets you into the VIP (very important person) section and pays for the bill with the wave of an arm.

Take a step back:10 or 12 years ago,you would have heard about the coming age of computing. One example always seemed to surface: Your refrigerator would know when you needed to buy more milk. The concept was that computer chips could be put everywhere and send information in a smart network that would make ordinary life simpler

RFID tags are a small part of this phenomenon. “The world is going to be a loosely coupled set of individual small devices, connected wirelessly,” predicts Dr.J.Reich. Human right supporters are nervous about the possibilities of such technology. It goes too far tracking school kids through RFID tags, they say. We imagine a world in which a beer company could find out not only when you bought a beer but also when you drank it. And how many beers. Accompanied by how many biscuits. w*w*When Marconi invented radio, he thought it would be used for ship-to-shore communication. Not for pop music. Who knows how RFID and related technologies will be used in the future. Here’s a wild guess: Not for buying milk.

1. The article is intended to______.  

A. warn people of the possible risks in adopting RFID technology

B. explain the benefits brought about by RFID technology

C. convince people of the uses of RFID technology

D. predict the applications of RFID technology

2. We know from the passage that with the help of RFID tags, people        .

A. will have no trouble getting data about others

B. will have more energy for conversation

C. will have more time to make friends

D. won’t feel shy at parties any longer

3. Passive RFID tags chiefly consist of        .

A. scanning devices          B. radio waves   C. batteries                  D. chips

4. Why are some people worried about RFID technology?

A. Because children will be tracked by strangers.

B. Because market competition will become more fierce.

C. Because their private lives will be greatly affected.

D. Because customers will be forced to buy more products.

5. The last paragraph implies that RFID technology        .

A. will not be used for such matters as buying milk

B. will be widely used, including for buying milk

C. will be limited to communication uses

D. will probably be used for pop music

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

From age eight to eleven, I attended a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr. Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would delight in telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day. They also served to show me that intellectual activity was rewarding when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that our paths crossed. Mr. Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

56. There were ________ children in each class when Richard was in     the school in Bath, England.

   A. 4              B. 8           C. 11                  D. 25

57. From the text, we can learn that ___________.

   A. the puzzles made the students laugh

   B. the students were afraid of the headmaster

   C. the puzzles made Richard enjoy math

   D. the headmaster never taught in the school

58. The writer felt sorry because __________.

   A. Mr. Broaches had passed away before he won the Nobel Prize

   B. he didn’t express his thanks before Mr. Broaches died

   C. he couldn’t find Mr. Broaches after he grew up

   D. Mr. Broaches didn’t know his success

59. What is the best title（標(biāo)題）for the text ?

   A. The Story of Mr. Broaches.

   B. The Story of Richard J. Roberts.

   C. My Early School Life.

   D. An Important Teacher in My Life.
