A man who knows a bit about carpentry （木工术) will make his table more quickly than the m

A man who knows a bit about carpentry (木工术) will make his table more quickly than the man who does not. If the instructions are not very clear, or the shape of a piece is puzzling his experience helps him to conclude that it must fit there, or that its function must be that. In the same way, the reader's sense and experience helps him to predict what the writer is likely to ,say next; that he must be going to say this rather than that. A reader who can think along with the writer in this way will find the text.

This skill is so useful that you may wish to make your students aware of it so that they can use it to tackle difficult texts. It does seem to be the case that as we read we make hypotheses (假设) about what the writer intends to say; these are immediately modified by what he actually does say, and are replaced by new hypotheses about what will follow. We have all had the experience of believing we were understanding a text until suddenly brought to a halt by some word or phrase that would not fit into the pattern and forced us to reread and readjust our thoughts. Such occurrences lend support to the notion of reading as a constant making and remaking of hypotheses.

If you are interested in finding out how far this idea accords with (符合) practice, you may like to try out the text and questions. To do so, take a piece of card and use it to mask the text. Move it down the page, revealing only one

t a time. Answer the question before you go on to look at the next section. Check your prediction against what the text actually says, and use the new knowledge to improve your next prediction. You will need to look back to earlier parts of the text if you are to make accurate prediction, for you must keep in mind the general organization of the argument as well as the detail within each sentence. If you have tried this out, you have probably been interested to find how much you can predict, though naturally we should not expect to be right every time -- otherwise there would be no need for us to read.

Conscious use of this technique can be helpful when we are faced with a part of the text that we find difficult: if we can see the overall pattern of the text, and the way the argument is organized, we can make a reasoned guess at the next step. Having an idea of what something might mean can be a great help in interpreting it.

The author uses the examples of carpentry and reading to show______.

A．the importance of making prediction

B．the similarity in using one's senses

C．the necessity of making use of one's knowledge

D．the most effective method in doing anything

At first glance, there is little in Horton to attract people. The other nearby towns h

ave much more to offer: Bradfield has its river and historic buildings, while Newtown has shops and entertainment. The buildings of Horton look dirty and unloved. For shops, there is a small supermarket, a few bargain shops, a bakery which, strangely, does not sell bread and a florist which has one stand of sadlooking flowers. Even so, Horton has several advantages over its neighboring towns.

Firstly, it has a country park. Four thousand years ago, this was an important fort. There are no historic remains here now, but there are wonderful views over the countryside. On sunny weekends you can often see kids out with their parents, kicking balls or flying kites.

There aren’t many job opportunities in Horton, and the roads to nearby cities aren’t really fast, but there are excellent rail links. You can be in London in an hour and a half, and other cities are less than an hour away. That means that parents can earn a good salary and still get home in time to spend the evenings with their families. Houses in Horton aren’t pretty, but they’re functional and cheap. The streets are quiet and safe, and there are plenty of parks and playgrounds. It has a library, three primary schools and a secondary school, St.Mark’s. It is friendly and offers a wide range of subjects and activities to children of all abilities and backgrounds. The town also has a swimming and a sports centre, and the community halls hold regular clubs and events for people of all ages.

C-21. What is the writer’s main purpose？

A、To explain what tourists can do in Horton.

B、To explain why Horton is a good place to live in.

C、To explain why Horton is not as pleasant as other towns.

D、To describe the history of Horton.

C-22.Which part of Horton does the writer find disappointing？

A、The shops.

B、Country park.

C、 Transport links.

D、The schools.

C-23. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of Horton？

B、Historical buildings.

C、The quiet and safe streets.

D、Functional and cheap houses.

C-24. What advantages does Horton bring to workers？

A、There are plenty of jobs available in the town.

B、You can drive to nearby cities in a short time.

C、You can get to several cities quickly by train.

D、Working conditions are better here than in other towns.

Although I had stayed in England for over a year, it was difficult for me to understand

the British mind. Traveling to then office every day by train, I watched people hiding their faces behind newspapers. They rarely talked to each other, occasionally lifting their eyebrows to look at their fellow passengers. But when I started a conversation by using the excuse of the weather, I found many had a natural gift for gossip. They would go on telling me all about themselves and their families. Sometimes I was even given their telephone numbers and asked to look them up. At first I took their invitations as they appeared. But when I rang and hear the surprised tone “Who？” I felt embarrassed and pretended I had got the wrong number.

I had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”, whether I felt it or not. Once, while buying a ticket to Waterloo, I forgot to say “please”. The man at the counter was offended and would not give me the ticket until I had said “please”. When he handed me the ticket, he said “sorry”, and hurried inside to take the only empty seat.

On the way to the office one morning, a man collapsed in my compartment. At Waterloo, everybody left, but I stayed with him until the ambulance arrived and was an hour late getting to the office. I was told that it was not my job to look after strangers.

I found that many did not even look after their own parents who were old and helpless. In India, it is the duty of the children to look after their parent and old relatives. While serving a meal, my mother always gave food to the elderly relatives and children first and ate whatever was left over. The elderly never felt isolated. They lived with their families and contributed to the happiness of the house.

A. Many British people were born speakers

B. Many British people were talkative.

C. Many British people were hot-tempered.

D. Many British people were talented

A. English people are very polite because they always say “thank you” or “sorry”.

B. English people enjoy teaching others lessons of politeness.

C. He had to learn to say “please”, “sorry”, “thank you”.

Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public.Not only doe

s he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before.He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from him.

What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words.They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.

Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights.Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it.Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.

If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world.Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

1.An artist hopes that the public will ____.

A.understand him and learn from him

B.notice only shapes and colors in his work

C.teach him something

D.believe what he says in his work

2.It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he/ she ___.

A.uses shapes and colors instead of words

B.uses unusual words and phrases

C.does not express himself /herself well

D.does not say anything clearly

3.The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _____.

A.only provide interesting patterns

B.teach the public important truths

C.have no pattern or form

D.carry a message to the public

4.The writer also points out that contemporary art contains ____.

A.nothing but meaningless patterns

B.uninteresting aspects of the world

C.completely meaningless subjects

D.subjects chosen partly for their meanings

5.What is implied in this passage？()

A.A painting is more easily understood than a symphony.

B.Art is merely the arranging of shape and color.

C.Every artist tries to say something to the public.

D.One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.

第7题

Our family lives on a dirt road in rural Vermont.Most mornings, I walk that dirt road

with my two dogs, Matti Dog and Yellow Dog.

Both Matti Dog and Yellow Dog were strays of unknown history.They both showed signs, curling up at sharp voices and fast movement, of having been beaten in their past homes.We got Matti Dog at the pound (走失家畜认领栏), where she was known as Lady.Yellow Dog appeared while my wife and son were traveling in Utah.

In spite of their backgrounds they are simply wonderful dogs.Both stay at home, without requiring a chain, or fence.We don’t need a leash(皮带)on our walks, they stay close to me, and come immediately when I whistle.If I ask them to sit, they do and they stay until released.Yellow Dog does tend to find and carry dead animals on our walk — but hey he is a dog…

Training Matti Dog and Yellow Dog to behave this well took love and 3-4 weeks of daily half-hour exercises of basic obedience(服从).Not much effort but apparently more than many are willing to give.

On this 3-mile walk, we pass about 8 other houses and 15 other dogs.Folks in my neighborhood like dogs! But what is troubling is that 6 of these dogs appear to be chained all the time.I don’t monitor this, but I have walked by at various times of the day and they were always chained.

These poor dogs are castoffs(被抛弃的狗), perhaps a Christmas present now ignored, or maybe they just behave so “badly” that their humans gave up.What does it say about owners that they can’t spend 2-4 weeks half an hour daily to teach their dog how to behave in a way that permits the dog freedom and that helps that dog be a better companion？

I do know some of these folks.They seem decent enough, but here for all passers to see is the failure of their relationship with man’s best friend.

Your dog is a great billboard.The advertisement is about you.

1.What do we know about the two dogs？()

A.They behave badly at home

B.They were Christmas presents

C.They are dirty and ill

B.with love

C.with a leash

D.strictly

3.The writer thinks the neighbors’ dogs poor because they __________.

C.like to attack people

D.behave badly

4.The writer believes the owners of those poor dogs _____.

A.are poor people

B.don’t know how to train dogs

C.don’t really love their dogs

D.are too busy to care for dogs

5.“The advertisement is about you” means _________.

第8题

In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.

Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.

It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.

The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

6. The writer of the selection believes（）.

A. many people in the United States think anyone can become rich if he works hard and has some good luck

B. anyone in the United Sates can become rich if he works hard and has some good luck

C. he can become rich in the future

D. anyone in the United States can become rich

7. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because（）.

A. they want to be as rich as their neighbors

B. they want others to know or to think that they are rich

C. they don’t want others to know they are rich

D. they want to be happy

8. It can be inferred from the story that rich people（）.

A. like to live in apartments

B. like to live in New York City

C. like to live outside New York City

D. like to have many neighbors

9. Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because Jones is（）.

A,. an important name

B. a popular name in the United States

C. his neighbor’s name

D. not a good name

10. According to the writer, it is（）.

A. correct to keep up with the Joneses

B. impossible to keep up with the Joneses

C. interesting to keep up with the Joneses

D. good to keep up with the Joneses

第9题

For years people have been saying that the railways are dead. We all keep hearing that

trains are slow, that they lose money, that they’re dying. But this is far from the true. In these days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they’re cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, a railway takes you from the heart of a city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.

Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modern railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfort, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time？ And we are only at the beginning. For we have just entered the age of super-fast trains, trains traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why we spent so much on motorways we can’t use because we have not enough money to buy the oil and planes we can’t fly in for the same reason.

1. Some people think the railways are dead for many reasons EXCEPT that ____.

A. planes and motorcars have taken the place of trains

B. oil is expensive today

C. trains are slow

D. railways lose money

2. The writers idea seems to be that ______.

A. we can do without railways

B. trains have much in common with motorcars and planes

C. motorcars and planes are not as good as trains

D. trains are as good as motorcars and planes

3. According to the writer, which of the following is NOT the advantage of railways？

A. It is cheaper to travel by train than by plane.
