deal!The first day was so tiring;we could hardly remember where we were and what we were seeing.The next morning,we were off to see monuments(紀(jì)念碑),starting with Washington,Lincoln and Jefferson.We walked along the paths through trees.Then the Wall came into viewthe Vietnam Veterans Memorial.As I inched closer to the Wall,I heard a bagpipe(風(fēng)笛) in the distance,which seemed to show respect to the lives lost in the jungles of Vietnam.We continued walking and felt surprised at the number of names carved in the black stone.I was determined to find a soldier with my last name,but my hunt was stopped when a man caught my eyes.He was kneeling(跪著) at the Wall,a single rose at his feet.His head was bowed and he was rubbing his fingers over one name.I thought how sad he was,and then moved on.After a few minutes I found one with my last name,but my eyes returned to the kneeling man.He was still rubbing his fingers over the same name.He never knew I was watching him,lost in deep sorrow.It was time for me to leave the kneeling man and the Wall.On the way home,I couldnt help thinking of the kneeling man and his sad face.I wasnt sure of the effects of war before,but at that moment I realised how much that man suffered from losing his loved one.Maybe he was only one of so many families who experienced the same.I never knew the full effects of war until I saw that man.I only know about war from history classes.The kneeling man taught me more about war and the effects it has on people than any history book.21.Which of the following makes the author feel the suffering that war brings to human beings?A.The kneeling man.B.The sound of a bagpipe.C.The number of names carved in the stone.D.The jungles of Vietnam.答案:A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段的“.butmyhuntwasstoppedwhenamancaughtmyeyes.HewaskneelingattheWall.”和最后一段的“IneverknewthefulleffectsofwaruntilIsawthatman.”可知A項正確。22.The man continued to rub his fingers over the name probably because .A.he found it covered with dustB.he missed the loved one who died in a warC.he intended to remove it completelyD.he recalled the fierce war he fought in答案:B解析:推理判斷題。由第五段的“Hewasstillrubbinghisfingersoverthesamename.”及“.Irealisedhowmuchthatmansufferedfromlosinghislovedone.”可推知,他在那里不停地用手撫摸著紀(jì)念碑上的名字,可能是因為他深深思念著在戰(zhàn)爭中死去的親人。23.What did the author learn from the trip?A.How fierce war is in history.B.How people remember those who died in wars.C.What bad effects war had on many families.D.What we should do to prevent war.答案:C解析:推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段的“Iwasntsureoftheeffectsofwarbefore,butatthatmomentIrealisedhowmuchthatmansufferedfromlosinghislovedone.Maybehewasonlyoneofsomanyfamilieswhoexperiencedthesame.”可推知,在這次參觀中,作者從這個在紀(jì)念碑前跪著的人身上,感受到戰(zhàn)爭給人們帶來的巨大影響。24.According to the last paragraph,the author probably thinks that .A.he should have studied history hard in classB.history books dont tell readers the truthC.there is more in history than books tell usD.the kneeling man should be a history teacher答案:C解析:推理判斷題。從文章最后一句話可推知,C項是作者認(rèn)同的觀點。BToo much TV-watching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree,new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders.Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs.A second study,looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results dont prove that TV is the cause and dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年輕人) may watch lots of TV.Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood,compared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school.In the California study,children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores,it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldnt have TVs in their bedrooms.25.According to the California study,the low-scoring group might .A.have watched a lot of TVB.not be interested in mathC.be unable to go to collegeD.have had computers in their bedrooms答案:A解析:推理判斷題。第二段中對加利福尼亞北部400名三年級學(xué)生的研究發(fā)現(xiàn),臥室里有電視的學(xué)生要比臥室里沒有電視的學(xué)生考試分?jǐn)?shù)低8分左右。據(jù)此推斷考試分?jǐn)?shù)低的原因可能是看電視太多。故選A項。26.What is the researchers understanding of the New Zealand study results?A.Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B.Habits of TV-watching reduce learning interest.C.TV-watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D.The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.答案:D解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段最后一句話可知,對大約1000名新西蘭成年人的研究結(jié)論是:教育水平低不一定是因為看電視過多,但也不能排除。據(jù)此推斷觀看電視和受教育的水平之間的聯(lián)系很難解釋。故選D項。27.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.More time should be spent on computers.B.Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C.TV sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms.D.Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.答案:C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。倒數(shù)第二段提到臥室里有電視機(jī)沒有電腦的孩子考試得分最低,而臥室里有電腦沒有電視機(jī)的孩子得分最高;最后一段的研究結(jié)論是:這項研究雖然不能證明是臥室內(nèi)的電視導(dǎo)致了孩子考試分?jǐn)?shù)低,但為孩子臥室內(nèi)不應(yīng)該放有電視機(jī)增加了證據(jù)。據(jù)此判斷不能在孩子臥室放有電視機(jī)。故選C項。28.What would be the best title for this text?A.Computers or TelevisionB.Effects of Television on ChildrenC.Studies on TV and College EducationD.Television and Childrens Learning Habits答案:B解析:主旨大意題。第一段指出,幾項有關(guān)電視對孩子的影響的研究結(jié)果表明:看電視過多會對孩子的學(xué)習(xí)能力造成危害,甚至?xí)p少孩子升入大學(xué)的機(jī)會。隨后幾段分別對幾項具體調(diào)查研究進(jìn)行陳述,并針對觀看電視與考試成績、教育水平之間的因果關(guān)系分別得出幾個不同的結(jié)論。概括全文可知本文主要講述的是電視對孩子的影響。故選B項。C導(dǎo)學(xué)號97544008Like many new graduates,I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do.My degree,with honors,in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical.I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow,but I had no idea how to do that.Thats when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers.I knew it would be a lot of hard work,and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time.In short,I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly.Neither did my family.Eventually,however,I won the support of my family,and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application.After countless interviews and presentations,I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone.Several months later,I finally received a call asking me to report for duty.I would be going to a small village near Abuja,Nigeria.Where?What?Nigeria?I had no idea.But I was about to find out.After completing my training,I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation.Though the local villagers were poor,they offered their homes,hearts,and food as if I were their own family.I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse.For the next year or so,I taught in that same schoolhouse.But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me.Sometime during that period,I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did,though I did not get anywhere with the local language,and I returned to the United States a different man.The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.29.What do we know about the author?A.His university education focused on theoretical knowledge.B.His dream at university was to become a volunteer.C.He took pride in having contributed to the world.D.He felt honored to study English literature.答案:A解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句可知,作者在大學(xué)接受的教育都是一些理論方面的知識。30.According to Paragraph 2,it is most likely that the author .A.discussed his decision with his familyB.asked previous volunteers about voluntary workC.attended special training to perform difficult tasksD.felt sad about having to leave his family and friends答案:A解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句可以推斷出,作者就自己的決定與家人肯定進(jìn)行過激烈的討論。31.In his application for the volunteer job,the author .A.participated in many discussionsB.went through challenging survival testsC.wrote quite a few papers on voluntary workD.faced strong competition from other candidates答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句可以推斷,作者在申請這份志愿者工作時,遇到一些實力很強(qiáng)的競爭對手,但最終,作者成功勝出。32.On arrival at the village,the author was .A.asked to lead a farming teamB.sent to teach in a schoolhouseC.received warmly by local villagersD.arranged to live in a separate house答案:C解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段第二句可知,一到那個村子,作者就受到當(dāng)?shù)卮迕駸崃业臍g迎和熱情的招待。DMany parents display their childrens artworks on the refrigerator,but Kieron Williamsons paintings have been on display in professional galleries since he was 6 years old.Kierons artwork,though,extends far beyond child-like stick figures or finger painting.In fact,the child from Norfolk,England,has been called “the boy who paints like an old master.”According to his parents,Kieron was a typical toddler who likes finding bugs and playing in the mud.But on a 2008 family vacation to the beach,the 5-year-old was inspired by the boats and scenery and asked his parents for a sketch pad.His initial drawings could have been done by any young child,but after the family returned home,Kieron continued drawing and began to display a gift for art.When he started asking about the process of putting a painting together,his parents realised he needed professional instruction.Soon after,he began taking lessons,and his progress amazed everyone as the young boy produced impressive landscapes and watercolours.In 2009,when the 6-year-old had a chance to exhibit his works in a gallery,he sold 19 paintings for 14,000 pounds,becoming famous overnight.From then on,he was surrounded by buyers from France,Japan,Greece and other countries.The young artist held another exhibit three months after the first one and sold 16 paintings for over 17,000 pounds,followed by a third sale,earning 150,000 pounds.For the fourth exhibit,Kieron took the day off from school but ended up returning to school early.His entire collection had sold out in 10 minutes to collectors from around the world.Now he has a waiting list of more than 5,000 people who have ordered his paintings.He has appeared in interviews before millions,and he has been compared to Pablo Picasso.Yet Kieron doesnt seem to be fazed by all the attention,still making time for football and maintaining excellent grades at school.He does have one goal he gets excited about,“Id like the Queens Gallery to have a collection of my works.” With his popularity climbing,this young artist may realise his wish one day.33.According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Kierons paintings are just as childish as other childrens.B.Kierons initial drawings suggested that he would be an art master.C.Kieron benefited greatly from professional instruction.D.Before displaying
