26. Mecca, a Holy City of Islam

麦加——伊斯兰教圣城

麦加是伊斯兰教的第一圣地。它坐落在沙特阿拉伯西部赛拉特山区一条狭窄的山谷里，面积26平方公里，人口三十多万。伊斯兰教创始人穆罕默德于公元570年诞生于此。以后成为伊斯兰教中心和商业中心。

麦加在穆斯林世界被誉为“诸城之母”。它之所以世界闻名，是因为伊斯兰教创始现在麦加城中心的这座大清真寺是穆斯林最神圣的地方。圣地只对穆斯林开放，非穆斯林一律谢绝入内。城中心的麦加大清真寺是伊斯兰教著名圣寺，是世界各国穆斯林去麦加朝觐礼拜的主要圣地。所有穆斯林，无论是男是女，都会尽最大努力争取一生至少要前往麦加朝觐一次。

Mecca is the holy city of Islam. It is the birthplace of the prophet of Mohammed (570—632), founder of Islam.

Mecca is in a rocky valley about 45 miles away from Jidda, a Red Sea port.

Only Muslims may enter the city Mecca. According to Muslim tradition, all Muslims who are able must make at least one pilgrimage to Mecca. The pilgrims come to pray in the mosque situated in the lowest part of the valley. This Muslim temple is made up of a domed building and a courtyard surrounded by many arches and columns. In the courtyard stands Islam's shrine, a cube-shaped stone building called the Kaaba. Muslims all over the world face the Kaaba when they pray. Embedded in one corner of Kaaba is a black stone. According to Muslim tradition, the stone was placed there by Abraham and his son Ishmael. Pilgrims to Mecca walk seven times around the Kaaba and kiss the stone.

Mecca has a permanent population of about 300,000, but its shops and inns serve over 150,000 pilgrims every year. The only important local industry is the manufacture of religious objects. The hot, dry desert surrounding the city makes farming impossible.

27. The Eiffel Tower, a Symbol of Paris

埃菲尔铁塔——巴黎的象征

如果说，巴黎圣母院是古代巴黎的象征，那么，埃菲尔铁塔就是现代巴黎的标志。埃菲尔铁塔坐落在塞纳河南岸马尔斯广场的北端。1887年1月26日动工，1889年5月15日开放的，距今已有100多年的历史了。

法国巴黎埃菲尔铁塔自1889年建成以来，已经成为法兰西的象征。这座高达 320米的建筑，由12000个金属部件连接，共用钢铁9000多吨。法国人性格阴柔细腻，他们不把这座庞然大物称作“大英雄”或“大丈夫”之类，而是将它亲密地称为“铁娘子”。

The Eiffel Tower in Paris needs no presentation. It is one of the most well known monuments in the world visited by more than 5 million people each year.

28. Sydney Opera House, the Modern Entertainment Center

悉尼歌剧院——现代娱乐中心

悉尼歌剧院不仅是悉尼艺术文化的殿堂，更是悉尼的灵魂，是公认的20世纪世界七大奇迹之一。悉尼歌剧院的外观为三组巨大的壳片，耸立在一南北长186米、东西最宽处为97米的现浇钢筋混凝土结构的基座上。

歌剧院规模宏大，陈设讲究，演出频繁，每年在悉尼歌剧院举行的表演大约3000场，约二百万观众前往共襄盛举，是全界最大的表演艺术中心之一。除圣诞节和耶稣受难日外，每天开放16小时，平均有10个不同的活动项目，可同时容纳7000余人。

symphony concerts, chamber music, opera, dance, singing concerts, pop, jazz and folk concerts, and variety shows.

The Opera Theatre is only used for performances of opera, ballet and dance. It is panelled in wood for acoustic reasons, but the ceiling and walls are painted black to allow the audience to pay its attention to the stage.

The Drama Theatre is used for performances of drama and dance. This auditorium, like the Opera Theatre, is black but the rather low ceiling is made of refrigerated aluminium panels which help to produce a normal temperature without a draught.

科罗拉多大峡谷是一个举世闻名的自然奇观，位于美国西部亚利桑那州西北部的凯巴布高原上，大峡谷全长446公里，平均宽度16公里，最大深度1740米，平均谷深1600米，总面积2724平方公里。它是联合国教科文组织选为受保护的天然遗产之一。

科罗拉多大峡谷的形状极不规则，大致呈东西走向，总长349公里，蜿蜒曲折，像一条桀骜不驯的巨蟒，匍伏于凯巴布高原之上。科罗拉多河在谷底汹涌向前，形成两山壁立，一水中流的壮观，其雄伟的地貌，浩瀚的气魄，慑人的神态，奇突的景色，世无其匹。有人说，在太空唯一可用肉眼看到的自然景观就是科罗拉多大峡谷。

People from all over the world go to see the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is the most attractive canyon in the world. It is a deep gorge, over 200 miles long, cut by the Colorado River in northern Arizona. It is a mile deep and from 4 to 18 miles across at the top, and it covers an area of 1, 000 square miles.

There are several ways to see the Grand Canyon. Some people fly out from Phoenix or Las Vegas for a one-day trip. Some go on short hiking trips. Others hike all the way from the North Rim to see the South Rim, camping at night along the way. But most people go by mule-back across the canyon, riding a mule down to the Colorado River and back up to the other rim. This gives them a look at the canyon from the "top down" and from the "bottom up." Every look is difficult, and every one is beautiful.

The Bakers have just returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon. If you asked them which they liked best, the "down look" or the "up look", they would probably say "Both." The Bakers made the trip on mule-back with John Begay. John Begay knows the Grand Canyon well.

The group started in the early morning when the sun was just coming up and John Begay rode ahead. After him in line came Mr. Baker, Mrs. Baker, Kathy, and her brother Ken. The mules moved slowly and with sure feet. As the Bakers went down further into the canyon, the rocks above took on different shapes, and their color changed with every change from sunshine to shadow.

At night the Bakers camped in the canyon, and the next day they reached the top of the other rim. "It has been a fine trip," Mr. Baker said, "I think everyone should see the Grand Canyon." John Begay smiled: "I have been trying to get you here for years," he said, "I knew you would like it."

A. by car.

B. by air.

C. on foot.

D. by mule-back.

4. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? ______

A. The Grand Canyon is over 320 kilometres long.

B. The Grand Canyon covers a large land area.

C. It is impossible for visitors to go from one side of canyon to the other.

D. We can have a wonderful look either from the top or from the bottom of the canyon.

5. The passage mainly tells us ______

A. some information about the rocks in the canyon.

B. how the Bakers visited the Grand Canyon.

C. it is very interesting to make a trip around the Grand Canyon on mule-back.

D. something about the Grand Canyon and its beautiful scenery.

30. Wall Street, a Famous Street in New York City

华尔街——纽约名街

华尔街是英文“墙街”的音译。荷兰统治时，在这里筑过一道防卫墙。英国人赶走荷兰人后，拆墙建街，因而得名。这条街上的联邦厅曾是美国第一届国会的所在地，首任总统华盛顿就是在这里宣誓就职的。不过华尔街作为政治中心只是短暂的一瞬，而作为金融中心却一直辉煌夺目，经久不衰。华尔街两旁摩天大楼林立，数不清的银行、信托公司、保险公司和交易所都在这里驻。华尔街是金融和投资高度集中的象征。

Wall Street is a famous street in New York City. It got its name from the wooden wall that used to stand where the street now runs.

The wall was built in the 1600s. New York was then a Dutch city set up by people coming from Holland in Europe. It was called Amsterdam.

The American Indians were not always friends of the Dutch; nor were the English. So the Dutch built the wooden wall to protect their town.

The wall is gone now. But Wall Street reminds the people of New York of the Dutch who settled there.

A. well-known street called Wall Street.

B. crowded town called Amsterdam.

C. busy river that runs through the Wall.

2017六年级阅读理解专项训练（含答案） 姓名：__________________ 等级：__________________ （一）剥豆 一天，我与儿子相对坐着剥豌豆，当翠绿的豆快将白瓷盆的底铺满时，儿子忽地离位；新拿一个瓷碗放在自己面前，将瓷盆朝我面前推推。 看他碗里粒粒可数的豆，我问：“想比赛？” “对。”儿子眼动手剥，利索地回答。 “可这不公平，我盆里已不少了，你才刚开始。”我说着顺手抓一把豆想放在他碗里。 “不，”他按住我的手，“就这样，我才能试出自己的速度。” 一些喜悦悄悄在我心里散开。 一时，原本很随意的家务劳动有了节奏，只见手起豆落，母子皆敛声息语。 “让儿子赢，使他以后对自己多一些自信。”如是想，手不知不觉就慢了下来，借拾豆的机会稍停一下。 “在外面竞争是靠实力。谁会让你？让他知道，失败成功皆是常事。”剥豆的速度分明快了。 小儿手不停，眼却时时在两个容器中睃。见他如此投入，我心生怜爱：学校的考试名次，够他累的了……剥豆的动作不觉中又缓了下来。 “不要给孩子虚假的胜利。”节奏自然又紧了许多。 一大袋豌豆很快剥光。一盒一碗、一大一小不同的容器难以比较，凭常识，我知道儿子肯定输了，正想淡化结果，他却极认真地新拿来了碗，先将他的豆倒进去，正好满一碗，然后又用同样的碗来量我的豆，也是一碗，只是凸出了，像隆起的土丘。 “你赢了。”他朝我笑笑，很轻松，全没有剥豆时的认真和执著。 “是平局。我本来有底子。”我纠正他。 “我少，我就是输。”没有赌气，没有沮丧，儿子认真和我争。脸上仍是那如山泉般清澈的笑容。 细想起来，自己瞻前顾后，小心翼翼，实在是多余了。 1．文中画线句说“一些喜悦悄悄在我心里散开”，作者“喜”的是： 。2．文中母亲剥豆的速度时快时慢，请用自己的话分别说明母亲剥豆速度快与慢的原因。 ①慢下来的原因是：

六年级阅读理解练习题 仙人掌花 1看见别人家阳台上花草缤纷，煞是艳羡，激起了我养花的兴致。我从花草市场陆续买了一些回家种养，海棠、月季、杜鹃、米兰、文竹……开始还能记着浇水、松土、施肥，但终究是很难坚持，结果一盆盆花草都枝枯叶落。我这才意识到，养花并非只是闲情逸致，那完全是精明勤快人的事儿，与我这个愚汉、懒汉无缘。例外的是，只有一盆仙人掌活了下来。 2不论阴晴雨雪，也不论那一小盆泥土如何枯涸龟裂，它总是绿色挺拔，每一根毛刺都伸出渴求的喙，贪婪地啄食着阳光和空气。 3可这并未给我带来欢欣。它既不美，也不雅。我只是不无遗憾地想，为什么美的总那么娇弱，而不美的却总是那么倔强呢？要是海棠、月季、杜鹃、米兰也这样易于生存该有多好啊。对于仙人掌的存在，我也不再关心。 4许久后的一个黄昏，我倚着阳台观望，无意中又瞥见这盆仙人掌。它竟横竖添了许多新节，刀戟般凛凛叉开，待细看时，我却忍不住大笑起来。 5不是么，且不说它的大小掌节是怎样歪歪斜斜，怪模怪样，只看那绿色的掌面吧，竟皱皱巴巴，细纹密布，活像一张老人的脸。 6我真不知道，它还会怎样疯长下去。也许叫它死去比叫它活着都困难。这可怕的东西！ 7我的养花历史就此告一段落，自然是没养出一朵花来。谁想夏天一到，奇迹竟发生了。一个久雨后的清晨，我推开阳台门，蛋青色的光亮和泉水般的空气扑面而来。我发现那盆仙人掌上有一大团很耀眼的东西。是霞光吗？是雨水折映的太阳吗？我定睛一看，什么？竟然是花。 8 是的，是一朵花，并且是一朵异常漂亮的花。12个金黄色绸缎般富有光泽的花瓣，敏感地轻颤着流苏般柔软的花穗，细密地遍布着雪乳般滋润的花粉。它凝然静立，却闪烁着宫殿般辉煌灿烂的光芒…… 9这是我看过的最美的花！ 此刻，仙人掌正骄傲地高擎着它。仙人掌上的皱纹是愈加深刻了。是啊，它赖以立身的不过是一捧泥土。要开出这样震撼人心的金色花朵，能不倾注全部心血吗？ 10可以想象，这仙人掌，它曾经有过柔软的叶，窈窕的枝。但为了抗拒沙漠的压榨，它才变得冷峻而坚强。正是有了这冷峻和坚强，在沙漠吞噬掉无数娇美的花之后，我们还能欣赏到仙人掌神奇的金色花。 11它绝非一朵仅仅使人赏心悦目的花，它的不甘泯灭的美，令弱者肃然起敬。 12美，一旦与顽强结合，就是不可摧毁的。

(完整word版)高中英语选修六课文原文

高中英语选修6 Unit 1 A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING Art is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones. Starting from the sixth century AD. The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD) During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent religious themes. A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way. The Renaissance(15th to 16th century) During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements. One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence, oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.
