第1章 When Was It Built(1)

阅读理解答题五忌

1.忌不带问题进行阅读。应先把文章后面所给的考查题浏览一遍,然后带着问题进行阅读。边阅读边选出考查表层情况问题的答案。

2.忌草率行事。做理解题时,遇到似是而非、干扰性特别强的答案,不能草率定案。在理解阅读材料内容的基础上去伪存真,方可得出正确答案。

3.忌主观印象。许多理解题必须按照原文来选定答案,一定要排除自身的生活经验、经历和已有的知识等主观因素的干扰,按照文章实际反映的情况来选择答案。

4.忌囫囵定案。在未完全读懂文章时就匆忙定案,结果往往选错答案。未读懂的地方,一定要慢速多读几遍,直到读懂时再定答案。

5.忌忽略时间。平时做阅读理解题时,就要养成从整体上控制时间的好习惯,时间的分配要根据文章的难易程度来决定。

Passage 1

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say.But touching things can help you to see them better.Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round.But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. ① You can feel how heavy the glass is.When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.With your skin, you can feel better.For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins (硬币) in your pocket.You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

All children soon learn what “Don't touch!” means.They hear it often.Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up.In shops, we touch things as we might buy food, clothes.To see something well, we have to touch it.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling.One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin.② Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin.At first, it is not easy to feel these things.You are too used to (习惯于) them!

Most museums are just for looking.But today some museums have some things to touch.Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.If we want to see better, reach out and touch it.Then you will really see it!

译注

Passage 2

In many countries today, people are doing something to protect wildlife (野生动物) so that wild animals can be safe.In India the need for such protection was understood centuries ago.①

About 300 B.C.an Indian writer told people something about forests.The forests of that day were a bit like national parks today.The game of killing animals was carefully governed.That is, people mustn't kill animals freely.Some animals were fully protected.Within the forests, nobody could cut trees, burn wood, or catch animals for their furs (皮毛).Animals dangerous to human visitors were caught or killed outside the forests so that other animals would not become worried or afraid.

The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before.About a thousand sorts (种类) of animals are in danger of extinction (灭绝), and the speed (速度) at which they become extinct has been putting on.② With mammals (哺乳动物), for example, the speed of extinction is now about one sort every year, and from A.D.(公元) 1 to 1800, the speed was about one sort every fifty years.Everywhere, people are trying their best to save wildlife while thinking about the world's growing population.

译注

①In India the need for such protection was understood centuries ago.

② About a thousand sorts of animals are in danger of extinction, and the speed at which they become extinct has been putting on.

3.Long ago in Indian forest, no game of killing animals was held at all.

4.The speed of wildlife extinction is getting faster and faster.

5.The growth of the world's population means greater danger to wildlife.

Passage 3

Roger lived in the city of London, and his hair was always cut by the same old man.He always cut Roger's hair as Roger liked it, and while he was doing it, the two men talked about football.

One day, when Roger was sitting in his chair, and his hair was being cut as usual, the old man said to him, “Roger, I'm going to be seventy years old next month and I feel tired, so I'm going to sell my shop to a young man.He liked to cut hair for people.”

Roger was sorry to hear that, because he enjoyed talking to the old man, and he was also worried that his hair would not be cut as well by the new young man as it had been for so many years by his old friend.①

He went to the shop again the next month, and the new young man was there.He cut Roger's hair, but he did it badly.

The next month, Roger went into the shop again.The young man asked him how he would like his hair cut, and Roger answered, “Please cut it very short on the right side, but leave it as it is on the left.It must cover my ear.On top, cut all the hair away in the middle, but leave a piece at the front.”
