16、to三.閱讀理解(每空1分,共40分)AIt was a very foggy day in London. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a foot or so. Buses, cars and taxis were not able to run and were standing by the side of the road. People were trying to find their way about on foot but were losing their way in the

17、fog. Mr. Smith had a very important meeting at the House of Commons and had to get there but no one could take him. He tried to walk there but found he was quite lost. Suddenly he bumped into a stranger. The stranger asked if he could help him. Mr. Smith said he wanted to get to the Houses of Parlia

18、ment. The stranger told him he would take him there. Mr. Smith thanked him and they started to walk there. The fog was getting thicker every minute but the stranger had no difficulty in finding the way. He went along one street, turned down another, crossed a square and at last after about half an h

19、ours walk they arrived at the Houses of Parliament. Mr. Smith couldnt understand how the stranger found his way. “It is wonderful,” he said. “How do you find the way in the fog?”“It is no trouble at all to me,” said the stranger, “I am blind.”1.

Mr. Smith had a very important meeting and lost his way in the fog.BAs we all know, it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence (獨(dú)立宣言). He wrote i

23、t in two weeks, and after a few changes, it was accepted by the Congress (國(guó)會(huì)). As a result, he became famous.Born in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, a brilliant student at school and almost talented lawyer later, was much interested in politics.Jefferson was elected the Governor of Virginia in 1779, and

24、 he was sent to France as the representative of the American government in 1784. Sixteen years later, at the age of 57, he was elected president after Washington and Adams.Far from a handsome man, he was tall with long arms and big hands. Jefferson, who was an amusing talker in conversation but a po

25、or speaker, was generally good-natured.Jefferson was regarded as a defender of freedom in America. As a president, he protected the right of free speech. Interestingly enough, in his eight years as president, Jefferson never vetoed (否決) a bill which the Congress had passed. He did a lot in organizin

26、g the new University of Virginia.Thomas Jefferson died on July the fourth, 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of American Independence.5.

29、ly against the slaveryC. he wrote the Declaration of Independence D. he was for the right of free speechCHistory books tell us that the city of Rome was set up in 152 B.C. Its a fact, however, that by 100 A.D., Rome was the centre of a big empire. It was from Syria in the east to Spain in the west,

30、from Britain in the north to Africa in the south. All or part of 27 of todays countries were included in the Roman Empire. All of their people were ruled by one government, that of Rome. All educated people spoke the same language, Latin. And one of the empires outposts was called Londinium. This un

31、important town would later become London, England, and the centre of another empire.The Roman Empire came to an end about 1,500 years ago. Yet in some ways it is still with us. Take the letters you are reading, for example, English, like many other languages, uses the Roman alphabet (字母) while also

32、borrowing many words. The laws of many European countries are based on ancient Roman laws. Roman ruins are seen throughout Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. In some places, Roman roads and water courses are still in use. To this day, a European in North Africa is likely to be called “Roumi”

33、-Roman. Even modern place names are often after Ancient Rome. Both Greece and Germany have the names given by the Romans rather than the names that their own people first called them. 10.

Londinium became the centre of an empire after Roman Empire fell apart.C. We may see some remaining parts of Roma

36、n Empire in North Africa.D. In Europe 27 countries had the same laws.DAll across the country, kids are heading back to school. Despite advice from the nations secretary of health and human services, recess(課間休息) and physical education have in many schools been cut back or canceled. While most of kid

37、s are eager to catch up with friends, the general feeling is that “playtime is over.”Summer vacation does offer most children a bit of free playtime the sort that leads to physical activity and self-organized play, often in short supply during the school year. Still, its not enough. Playtime shouldn

38、t be limited to summer vacation: its important all year. For most American children in the past, “going out to play” was the norm. Today, according to a University of Michigan study, children spend 50 percent less time outside than they did just 20 years ago. There is a direct line between lack of p

39、lay and some frightening public health and social trends: tragic statistics for obesity(肥胖), 4.5 million children diagnosed with attention deficit disorder(ADD) (兒童多動(dòng)癥), an increase in childhood depression and classroom behavioral problems, and an inability to interact well with peers.Just an hour a

40、 day of active play running, chasing, games like dodge ball can provide intense skill learning. Physical activity is known to lessen the symptoms of mild attention deficit disorder, and reduces the risk of childhood obesity. Active kids can perform better academically in the long term.We should be a

41、ware of how important play is to ones development. Even a play-deprived social mammal(哺乳動(dòng)物) like a rat or monkey will become unable to tell friend from enemy, and poor at handling stress when it enters adulthood. My studies of young murderers revealed that most had lacked normal, developmentally app

42、ropriate play as children and pre-adolescents. Play is fun, but ultimately it is also useful. The smarter the animal, the more they play. For humans, play refreshes us because it gets us in touch with our core selves and the joy of life.I feel sad about the kids who have given up on play for another

43、 nine months. Their devaluation of play is a tragic loss for them and for our society.15. Children lacking playtime may have the following problems EXCEPT_. A. to become fat B. to suffer from depression C. to fail to get along well with others D. to murder their peers16. Active play is beneficial to

44、 children because _. A. it inspires children to catch up with their friendsB. it is the best way to cure children with obesity C. it helps children to improve academic achievementD. it can teach children to tell friend from enemy17. “A play-deprived social mammal” refers to an animal that_. A. has l

45、ost chance to play B. requires enough playtimeC. enjoys playing very muchED. k Along with Of Mice and Men, my groups read: Sounder, The Red Pony, Lord of the Flies, Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth. The students didnt always read from the expected point of view. About The Red Pony, one student said, its

46、 about being a man, its about manliness. I had never before seen the parallels between Scarface and Macbeth, nor had I heard Lady Macbeths soliloquies (獨(dú)白)read as raps (說唱) , but both made sense; the interpretations were playful, but serious. Once introduced to Steinbecks writing, one boy went on to

47、 read The Grapes of Wrath and told me repeatedly how amazing it was that all these people hate each other, and theyre all white. His historical view was broadening, his sense of his own country deepening. Year after year former students visited and told me how prepared they had felt in their first y

48、ear in college as a result of the classes.Year after year, however, we are increasing the number of practice tests. We are trying to teach students to read increasingly complex texts, not for emotional punch (碰撞) but for text complexity. Yet, we cannot enrich (充實(shí)) the minds of our students by testin

49、g them on texts that ignore their hearts. We are teaching them that words do no. amaze but confuse. We mav succeed in raising test scores, but we will fail to teach that reading can be transformative and that it belongs to them.18.The underlined words in Paragraph 1 probably mean that a book helps to_A. realize our dreams B. give support to our life C. smooth away difficulties D. awake our emolions19.Why were th
