TEXT A

What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, chemistry, geology, engineering, medical or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines and products that scientists and technologists develop. New drugs, faster and safer means of transport, new systems of applied knowledge are some examples of this aspect of science.

The second aspect is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.

What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity — he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions, whether of pure or applied knowledge, and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.

He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the full extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.

He is skeptical —he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available — and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth.

Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own. Since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.

Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data, which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.

These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.

Text B

Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with "nonhuman creatures" such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.

The Nazca "lines" of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat,

stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.

Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there are over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.

Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.

86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.

B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.

C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.

D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.

87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found

A. in mountains.

B. in stones.

C. on animals.

D. on a plain.

88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the ____ the images they present.

A. smaller

B. larger

C. clearer

D. brighter

89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because of

A. the participation of scientists.

B. the emergence of the lnternet.

C. the birth of new theories.

D. the interest in the Internet.

90. The author is ____ about the role of the lnternet in solving mysteries.

A. cautious

B. pessimistic

C. uncertain

D. optimistic

TEXT C

Graduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, "Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?"

But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.

Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:

"You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward." (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University).

"There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together." (Hillary Clinton, New York University).

'This really is your moment. History is yours to bend." (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).

Of course, the real "get" of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. "Remember that you are blessed," she told the class of 2009, "Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'."

Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's 2005 graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.

But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured about the big stuff?. Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to "marriage is hard work"? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.

That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most "memorable" occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.

91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall ____ memories.

A. great

B. trivial

C. unforgettable

D. unimaginative

92. "But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger" is explained

A. in the final paragraph.

B. in the last but one paragraph.

C. in the first paragraph.

D. in the same paragraph.

93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPT

A. death.

B. success.

C. service.

D. Generosity.

94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail to

A. remain clear-headed.

B. keep good manners.

C. remember others' words.

D. recollect specific details.

95. What is "one of the first lessons of growing up"?

A. Attending a graduation ceremony.

B. Listening to graduation speeches.

C. Forgetting details of memorable events.

D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.

TEXT D

Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner,

and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.

In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.

Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple's eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.

Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that ancestor or eating themselves.

There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an association between caste and the idea of pollution. Members of highly ranked groups can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva, of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, not eat from the same plate as, not even accept food from an individual from a low-ranking caste.

96. According to the passage, the English make clear distinctions between

A. people who eat together.

B. the kinds of food served.

C. snacks and hamburgers.

D. family members and guests.

97. According to the passage, who will NOT eat together?

A. The English.

B. Americans on their first date.

C. Men and women in Near Eastern societies.

D. Newly-weds on the island of New Ireland.

98. According to the passage, eating together indicates all the following EXCEPT

A. the type of food.

B. social relations.

C. marital status.

D. family ties.

解析：A。推理类，可用排除法。在一起进餐可反映出进餐者的社会关系，婚姻状况和家庭关系。

99. The last paragraph suggests that in India ____ decides how people eat.

A. pollution

B. food

C. culture

D. social status

100. Which of the following can best serve as the topic of the passage?

A. Different kinds of food in the world.

TEXT A

Do you realize that every time you take a step, the bones in your hip are subjected to forces between four and five times your body weight? When you are running, this force is increased further still. What happens if through disease a hip-joint ceases to be able to resist such forces? For many years hip-joints and other body joints have been replaceable either partially or completely. It is after all a simple ball and socket joint; it has certain loads imposed on it; it needs reliability over a defined life; it must contain materials suitable for the working environment. Any engineer will recognize these as characteristic of a typical engineering problem, which doctors and engineers have worked together to solve, in order to bring a fresh lease of life to people who would otherwise be disabled.

This typifies the way in which engineers work to help people and create a better quality of life. The fact that this country has the most efficient agricultural industry in the world is another good example. Mechanical engineers have worked with farmers and biologists to produce fertilizers, machinery and harvesting systems. This team effort has now produced crops uniformly waist high or less so that they are better suited to mechanical harvesting. Similar advances with other crops have released people from hard and boring jobs for more creative work, whilst machines harvest crops more efficiently with less waste. Providing more food for the rapidly increasing population is yet another role for the mechanical engineer.

81. According to the passage, when would most weight be imposed on hip-joints?

A. When one is walking.

B. When one is running.

C. When one is standing.

D. When one is lying down.

82. Engineers regard the replacement of hip-joints as a(n) ____ Problem.

A. mechanical

B. medical

C. health

D. agricultural

83. According to the passage, how do engineers contribute to increasing efficiency of the agricultural industry?

A. By working with farmers.

B. By working in teams.

C. By growing crops of the same height.

D. By making agricultural machinery.

84. According to the context, “This team effort?“ in Paragraph Two refers to

A. mechanical engineers.

B. doctors and engineers.

C. biologists, doctors and farmers.

D. farmers, biologists and engineers.

TEXT B

Nowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I?m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.

The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space.

Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can?t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.

So, a cellp hone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don?t dial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.

For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:

“Yes, I?m glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What?s that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right there.”

Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eye contact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.

Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce department pinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you?d be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.

One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. “So I don?t need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news.”

And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. “W hat is the matter with this thing?” I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear.

“Hello? Are you still there?”

Oops.

85. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

A. Cellphone service is popular among people.

B. Cellphone has much use in office.

C. Fake foning is a new cellphone service.

D. Fake foning is a new discovery.

86. What is fake foning?

A. A strategy to avoid people.

B. A device newly produced.

C. A service provided everywhere.

D. A skill of communication.

87. In the author?s opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has to

A. talk about interesting matters.

B. behave politely to people passing by.

C. hold the phone while walking.

D. appear absorbed in conversation.

88. What does the last example show?

A. One effective way is to fake fone one?s doctor.

B. One has to be careful while fake foning.

C. Fake foning may not deceive people.

D. Fake foning is always quite successful.

89. After his phone suddenly began ringing, the author

A. immediately started talking to the caller.

B. immediately started talking to his colleague.

C. put the phone away and stopped talking.

D. continued with his fake conversation.

90. What is the tone of the passage?

A. Critical.

B. Humorous.

C. Serious.

D. Unclear.

TEXT C

It was late in the afternoon, and I was putting the final touch on a piece of writing that I was feeling pretty good about. I wanted to save it, but my cursor had frozen. I tried to shut the computer down, and it seized up altogether. Unsure of what else to do, I yanked (用力猛拉) the battery out.

Unfortunately, Windows had been in the midst of a delicate and crucial undertaking. The next morning, when I turned my computer back on, it informed me that a file had been corrupted and

Windows would not load. Then, it offered to repair itself by using the Windows Setup CD.

I opened the special drawer where I keep CDs. But no Windows CD in there. I was forced to call the computer company?s Global Support Centre. My call was answered by a woman in some unnamed, far-off land. I find it annoying to make small talk with someone when I don?t know what continent they?re standing on. Suppose I were to comment on the beautiful weather we?ve been having when there was a monsoon at the other end of the phone? So I got right to the point.

“My computer is telling me a file is corrupted and it wants to fix itself, but I don?t have the Windows Setup CD.”

“So you?re having a problem with your Windows Setup CD.” She has apparently been dozing and, having come to just as the sentence ended, was attempting to cover for her inattention.

It quickly became clear that the woman was not a computer technician. Her job was to serve as a gatekeeper, a human shield for the technicians. Her sole duty, as far as I could tell, was to raise global stress levels.

To make me disappear, the woman gave me the phone number for Windows? creator, Microsoft. This is like giving someone the phone number for, I don?t know, North America. Besides, the CD worked; I just didn?t have it. No matter how many ti mes I repeated my story, we came back to the same place. She was calm and resolutely polite.

When my voice hit a certain decibel (分贝), I was passed along, like a hot, irritable potato, to a technician.

“You don?t have the Windows Setup CD, ma?am, because you don?t need it,” he explained cheerfully.

“Windows came preinstalled on your computer!”

“But I do need it.”

“Yes, but you don?t have it.” We went on like this for a while. Finally, he offered to walk me through the use of a different CD, one that would erase my entire system. “Of course, you?d lose all your e-mail, your documents, your photos.” It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache. “You might be able to recover them, but it would be expensive.” He sounded delighted. “And it?s not covered by the warranty (产品保证书)!” The safe began to seem like a good idea, provided it was full.

I hung up the phone and drove my computer to a small, friendly repair place I?d heard about. A smart, helpful man dug out a Windows CD and told me it wouldn?t be a problem. An hour later, he called to let me know it was ready. I thanked him, and we chatted about the weather, which was the same outside my window as it was outside his.

91. Why did the author shut down her computer abruptly?

A. She had saved what she had written.

B. She couldn?t move the cursor.

C. The computer refused to work.

D. The computer offered to repair itself.

92. Which of the following is the author?s opinion about the woman at the Global Support Centre?

A. She sounded helpful and knowledgeable.

B. She was there to make callers frustrated.

C. She was able to solve her computer problem.

D. She was quick to pass her along to a technician.

93. According to the passage, the solution offered by the technician was

A. effective.

B. economical.

C. unpractical.

D. unacceptable.

94. “It was like offering to drop a safe on my head to cure my headache” in the last but one paragraph means that

A. the technician?s proposal would make things even worse.

B. the technician?s proposal could eventually solve the problem.

C. files stored on her computer were like a safe.

D. erasing the entire system was like curing a headache.

95. It can be inferred from the passage that the differences between the Global Support Centre and the local repair shop lie in all the following EXCEPT

A. efficiency.

B. location.

C. setup CDs.

D. attitude

TEXT D

Not long ago, a mysterious Christmas card dropped through our mail slot. The envelope was addressed to a man named Raoul, who, I was relatively certain, did not live with us. The envelope wasn?t sealed, so I opened it. The inside of the card was blank. Ed, my husband, explained that the card was both from and to the newspaper deliveryman. His name was apparently Raoul, and Raoul wanted a holiday tip. We were meant to put a check inside the card and then drop the envelope in the mail. When your services are rend ered at 4 a.m., you can?t simply hang around, like a hotel bellboy expecting a tip. You have to be direct.

So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks.

With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Chri stmases past. I honestly hadn?t realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he?d used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket (收取保护费的黑社会组织).

Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request,

this time from our garbage c ollector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn?t enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. “I know you don?t care how merry my Christmas is, and that?s fine,” the gesture said. “I want $30, or I?ll …forget? to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day.”

I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn?t yet been picked up: “Someone stole Mickey?s tip!” Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check.

But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. “Are you Mickey?”

The man looked at him with scorn. “Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling.” Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. “Anyone else?”

Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette (礼节) could have been avoided. Under “trash/recycling collectors” in the institute?s Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: “$10 to $30 each.” You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.

96. The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because

A. he forgot to write a few words on it.

B. he wanted the couple to send it back.

C. he used it to ask for a Christmas tip.

D. he was afraid of asking for a tip in person.

97. From the passage, we learn that the author

A. didn?t like Raoul?s way of delivering the paper.

B. didn?t realize why Raoul delivered the paper that way.

C. didn?t know that Raoul came very early in the morning.

D. didn?t feel it necessary to meet Raoul when he came.

98. According to the passage, the author felt ____ to give Raoul a holiday tip.

A. excited

B. delighted

C. embarrassed

D. forced

99. Which of the following is CORRECT about Mickey, the garbage collector?

A. He wrote a letter to the couple afterwards.

B. He failed to collect the money from the bank.

C. He wanted the couple to send him a Christmas card.

D. He collected both the cheek and the garbage that day.

100. Ed?s encounter with the recycling team shows that

A. Ed was desperate to correct his mistake.

B. Ed only wanted to give money to Raoul.

C. Ed was unwilling to tip the truck driver.

D. Ed no longer wanted to give them money.

98．解析: D. 推断类, 第三段最后一句“Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style protection racket.”,这种节假日收取小费的行为已经从自愿表示感激的行为,变成强迫收取保护费的行为了.

2008年英语专业四级阅读理解

TEXT A

When the sun is up in Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River. You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi.

But when the sun goes down, the partying begins. In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke.

Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam. And they?re all within a short cab ride of each other.

For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events. Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there. And there is the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall.

But as evening descends on Dam Square so do the party-seekers. Hip pop or funk music begins blaring from Club Paradiso and Club Melkweg. These are two of the most popular clubs in Europe. So if you come, be ready to dance. The clubs don?t shut down until 4 am.

And while you are there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city. Don?t worry about getting lost. Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions.

And you?ll notice that half the people in the streets are on bicycles. They rent for US$17 to $20 for a whole day.

Amsterdam also has a good canal system. From anywhere between US$2 and $9.50, you?can use the canal bus or a water taxi to cruise the “Venice of the North”.

You can take in the picturesque canal house architecture: The rows of neat, narrow four-story dwellings of brownstone with large windows are well worth seeing. Many of them are several centuries old.

You might also want to jump out of the canal bus at the Museum Quarter and start walking. Masterpieces by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt, Bruegel, Van Gogh and others are on display at the Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House and others.

The city has an appreciation of its historic past. One place to visit is the Anne Frank House in Nine Streets. It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II. Visitors can view Anne?s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years.

81. At the beginning of the passage, the author indicates that ______.

A. Amsterdam is generally known as a quiet city.

B. parties go on all day long in Amsterdam.

C. Amsterdam presents two different pictures.

D. Amsterdam attracts many daytime visitors.

82. Which tourist attraction is cited for elaboration in Paragraphs Four and Five?

A. Royal Palace.

B. Dam Square.

C. Club Paradiso.

D. Magna Plaza.

83. According to the passage, the local people have all the following characteristics EXCEPT ______.

A. they are party goers.

B. they show hospitality.

C. they can speak English.

D. they are fond of cycling.

84. Which of the following adjectives can best describe Amsterdam as a tourist city?

A. Modern.

B. Delightful.

C. Quiet.

D. Historic.

TEXT B

In an article some Chinese scholars are described as being “tantalized by the mysterious dragon bone hieroglyphics.” Tantaliz ed is one of many English words that have their origins in myths and legends of the past (in this case, Greek and Roman ones). The meaning of the verb tantalize is a very particular one: “to promise or show something desirable to a person and then take it away; to tease by arousing hope.” Many (but not all) English dictionaries give you a brief indication of a word?s origins in brackets before or after the explanation of the meaning. For tantalize the following explanation is given: [> Tantalus]. This means that you should look up the name Tantalus to find out the word?s origins, and if you do, you will find out that in Greek mythology, Tantalus was a king who was punished in the lower world with eternal hunger and thirst; he was put up to his chin in water that always moved away when he tried to drink it and with fruit on branches above him placed just a little bit out of his reach. Can you see why his name was changed into a verb meaning “to tease or torment by arousing desire”?

Another example is the word siren, familiar to us as the mechanical device that makes such an alarming sound when police cars, ambulances, or fire engines approach. This word also has its origins in Greek mythology. The traveler Odysseus (Ulysses to the Romans) made his men plug thei r ears so that they wouldn?t hear the dangerous voices of the sirens, creatures who were half bird and half woman and who lured sailors to their deaths on sharp rocks. So the word came to be associated both with a loud sound and with danger!

When someone s peaks of a “jovial mood” or a “herculean effort,” he or she is using words with origins in mythology. Look these words up to find their meaning and relationship to myths.

Many common words, such as the names for the days of the week and the months of the year, also come from mythology. Wednesday derives from the ancient Norse king of the gods, Woden, and Thursday was originally Thor?s day, in honour of Thor, the god of thunder. As a matter of fact, all the planets, except the one we live on, bear names that come from Roman mythology, including

英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Every day I see advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses claiming that it is easy and quick to learn English. There is even a reference to William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens to encourage learners even more. When I see advertisements like this, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But many people must believe these ridiculous claims, or else the advertisements would not appear. Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but too many cannot afford to do so. Some go to the opposite extreme and think they can teach themselves at home with dictionaries. But it is wrong to assume that each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language, let alone produces good pronunciation and intonation. Most teaching is still based on behaviorist psychology. Behaviorists are fond of making students repeat phrases and making sentences. If we were parrots or chimpanzees, these methods might be successful. A large number of theorists seem to think it is a pity we aren't, because it would make it easier to use their methods. In my personal opinion, no one can ever learn to speak English or any other language unless he is interested in it. Human beings, unlike parrots and chimpanzees, do not like making noises unless they understand what the noises mean and can relate them to their own lives. It is worth remembering that language is a means of communication. What they listen to and read cannot be a formula. It must be real. There is another relevant point worth mentioning here. We need other people to talk to and listen to when we communicate. They can work with us and practice the unfamiliar forms with us in real situations, talking to each other about real life language. （1）Many people believe advertisements in the newspapers and on the buses probably because . A. they are encouraged by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens B. they are eager to learn and then believe them C. the ways advertised can help them to save time and efforts D. the ways advertised prove effective and helpful （2）What may behaviorists argue towards English learning? A. Human beings make more interesting noises than parrots and chimpanzees. B. Human beings should relate their speech to their own lives. C. Language is a formula with lots of repetitions and practices. D. Language is a means of communication. （3）What opinion does the author hold? A. A quick method that suits all the students does exist. B. English can be mastered within a very short period of time. C. Each word in English has a precise equivalent in another language. D. No one can learn English well without being interested in it.

（英语）英语阅读理解专项习题及答案解析 一、阅读理解 1．根据短文内容选择正确答案。 D If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming. Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance. When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chan ces all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school. Allison knew she w asn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted. She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent, and time we must all take if we’re being honest with ours elves. The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty and make a choice. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty. （1）From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that . A. being out of work is a sad thing B. uncertainty is what makes life interesting C. life in a film is more exciting than real life. D. chance never appears when we need it （2）What troubles Allison after graduation? A. She couldn’t find a well-paid job. B. She had no money to start a business. C. She was not sure what to do. D. She didn’t score high enough for graduate school. （3）How did Allison feel about her six years’ working experience? A. Uncertain. B. Amazed . C. Sorry. D. Satisfied. （4）What may be discussed in the following paragraph?

一、大墙下的小花苗 春风劲儿真大,把一粒花种子丢落在一堵大墙的阴影里。 不久,种子变成了一株小花苗。大墙阴影的外边,好多小树、小草都长得生机勃勃,只有小花苗又瘦又小,它难过得哭起来。 “小花苗,您哭什么呀？”蜜蜂飞过来问。“我见不到阳光,长得太小了。”“别难过,我替您把大墙推倒吧！”小蜜蜂用力推起来。可就是哪里推得动啊！小蜜蜂叹口气,飞走了。 “您不就是也有手与脚不？靠自己的力量,攀到阳光里去呀！”噢,就是墙顶上的小蜗牛在说话。就是呀,自己细细的藤儿,这就就是手与脚呀！小花苗擦去泪水,鼓足勇气,沿着墙壁开始往上爬了…… 终于,在一天上午,它爬过了高高的墙顶。“啊,阳光下多么温暖！”在阳光照耀下,小花苗长得可快了。它满身披上绿叶,开出金黄色的花朵。 孩子们从大墙下走过,都说:“瞧,这株小花能爬上那么高的大墙,真勇敢！” 1、填空。 (1)短文按( )顺序写,先写小花苗在大墙的阴影里长得又瘦又小,再写小花苗在蜗牛的鼓励下( ),最后写孩子们夸小花苗( )。(3分) (2)小花苗的“手与脚”指的就是( )。(3分) (3)在大墙的阴影里, 小花苗( ); 在墙顶上, 小花苗( )。(4分)

四年级语文课外阅读训练题目及答案

小学语文阅读题解题技巧与方法 一、平心静气审题，切忌粗心。 在解答阅读题时，千万不要慌，要静下心来，按照由易到难，由浅入深的思维方式，先从容易的入手，逐渐的打开思路。粗心是学习的大忌，对于语文的阅读理解也不例外。在审题的时候，要像对待数学试题中的数字一样，认真看清每一个字、词、句、甚至每一个标点，要看清题目的要求，分析问题的提问要点。粗心的同学往往会与正确答案失之交臂。例如要求在正确的句子后面打“√”，有的同学在正确的句子后面打“√”后，又多此一举地在错误的句子后打上了“×”。类似的情况，在考试时常常能见到，粗心是一部分同学在该题项中失分的一个重要原因。因此在做题的时候要仔细认真。 二、熟读全文，整体把握。 一般来说，做题时，我们要先把文章读一遍，有了初步的了解后再开始做题。如果没看懂，还要再读，直到弄懂为止。当然，读第二遍前，可以浏览一下后面问了哪些问题，因为后面的问题中有时会隐匿着文章的主要观点、中心意思及写作思路、行文线索，对我们理解文章很有帮助。因此，我们要教会学生从尽可能多的信息中揣度出文章大概主旨是什么，了解作者的主要写作意图，从而整体把握全文，做到对解题心中有数。 要向学生强调，只要反复阅读、强化感知，才能深刻领悟和准确把握。倘若急于求成，忽视对原文的阅读，只“水过地皮湿”般泛泛而读，不求甚解，草草了事。就会导致对原文一知半解甚至形成错误的认识。在此基础上进行理解，得出的结论，岂不成了“空中楼阁” 三、确定区域，深入思考。 在文章有了整体感知后，我们可以先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域，和哪些语句有关。确定某一答题区域后，再深入思考，仔细弄懂这一段每一句的意思，进而理清段落之间的关系，了解行文思路。有了这一习惯就有可能形成较强分析综合能力。阅读时反复琢磨题干，圈画与之相关的内容，答题时就不需要再从头至尾搜寻，可节省不少宝贵时间。 1、对于选择题 选择正确选项方法有三：直选法、排除法、类推法。 直选法，即直接选出正确答案。这种方法适合于一目了然的题目。答案是自己一下子能确定的。 排除法，通过排除不合要求的选项，将正确的答案显露出来。 类推法，通过合理推断迅速排除某些选项，或根据已知情况推断未知情况，迅速确定答案。 2、对于一些问答题、概括段落大意等题目 准确解答这类题目的最重要最有效的方法是在原文中找答案。大多数题目在文章里是能够"抠"出答案的。当然，找出的语句不一定能够直接使用，这就需要根据题目要求进行加工处理，或摘取词语或压缩主干或抽取要点或重新组织，这就能准确解答。 3、对有关字、词、句的语境意义以及作用之类的题目 （1）字不离词。在理解词语中某个字的意思的时候，必须把它放到这个词语中去考察，即字不离词，这样才能准确的理解这个字的意思。 （2）词不离句。在综合阅读题中，常常要求理解词语在上下文中的含义和作用。这就应根据具体的语言环境即句子本身去推断它的意思，也就是词不离句。至于某个词在句中的表达作用，更要根据具体的语言环境去理解，而不能离开句子作单独解释。

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.

四年级下册阅读理解20篇(附带答案解析) 一、四年级语文阅读理解练习 1． 风筝 董改正 ①人学前，每个年后，都有青黄不接的一段时间，我都会到外婆家“打秋风”。一个任走长长的山路，也不知道害怕，因为憧憬着。外婆会做菜，外婆的稀饭熬得香，碧绿生生的，不用小菜都能吃几碗。 ②外婆喜欢我，这是人尽皆知的。听说未开口叫公鸡仔养人，每次去，她都要杀一只。切成小方块，因为鸡不肥，总要搁点肥肉一起炒，这一只鸡，是我一个人吃的。外婆说，整个吃下去，营养才是完整的。吃过的鸡骨头，外婆收集起来，香油炸过，用小石磨磨碎，冲给我喝。外婆做这一切的时候，我都在一边看着。 ③那一个春日，晒场上空飞满了风筝，我吵着也要。外婆为难了，她不会做。她一辈子都在地上，从未有过飞翔的念想。她就央求我的舅母，舅母说，鸡骨头粉你都会磨，咋就不会做风筝呢？那时候，我真是不懂事，只知道如丧考妣地哭，外婆脸上的尴尬，是我隔了几十年光阴看到的。 ④外婆拉着我去晒场。天上飘着各色的风筝，它们恣睢地舞动，就越发引起我的委屈。又有人在放了，一个人远远地牵线，一个人扶着风筝，说声“放！”牵线的高举着手，使劲跑，风筝跌跌撞撞载浮载沉，好多次后，终于扶摇直上了。外婆指给我看这些，说：“其实放风筝并不好玩，看看就好。”我就撒野了，打滚撒泼，说她是笨蛋，不会做才这样说。 ⑤外婆的生活很累，她不能陪我，我就一个人看风筝，想风筝，幻想有一天自己拥有一支绸布的大蝴蝶风筝，我跑啊，笑啊，看着它在空中猎猎展翅，感受手上线拉紧着的那种快感。然而，我却只能看，因为我已经哭过—— 凡是外婆能给的，不哭她都给，能求的，我哭了她必定低声地向人求。孩子们的风筝是在城里买的，她无能为力。我就一个人站在风筝底下，仰望，幻想。 ⑥忽然有一日，外婆拿出一只“风筝”，竹子骨，身子是过年的对联糊起来的。虽然不是我想要的，但它毕竟是风等，我还是（）的。她似乎有点不好意思，说：“我们去放风争吧！” ⑦我确信，对所有的动作都烂熟于心，并且操作绝对规范，但外婆的风筝始终没有飞起来，它丢人地在晒场上拖着，许多孩子都大笑起来。我狠狠踩踏着它，不管外婆的伤心和尴尬，那一刻的我，肯定有着兽性的暴戾吧，因为外婆呆呆怔怔地看着我，不哄我，不说话。 ⑧ 第二年我就上学了，外婆托小姨带来口信，说她做了一支绸布的大蝴蝶，并且和我小舅试过，飞上天了，我（）地应着，却没有去。我有许多伙伴，并且日子也渐渐好了，不再闹春荒。她就来看我，我吃过饭，就出去玩，并不陪她说话。慢慢地我大了，外婆渐渐地不让人捎口信来了，她知道我真的没有时间回去。中学二年级，我得到噩耗，外婆去世了
