Question

【題目】閱讀理解D

What would happen if there were no electricity? Doing homework by candle? Walking to school? Boiling water over a little fire? Life is like that in many parts of Malawi, a small country in Africa.
In 2001, William Kankwamba, a 14-year-old boy, had a simple wish — a light in his room. At that time, his family was so poor that he had to leave school. But he loved reading and wanted a light in his room so that he could read when it was dark. One day, he borrowed an 8th grade American textbook called Using Energy from a local library. He saw a picture of a windmill in it and decided to build one.
People in his village thought that he was crazy when he asked for things to make it. "I was really sad when people laughed at me and took me as a fool." William said, "Even my parents thought it was too difficult for a little boy to do that." But William didn't give up. After thousands of tries of almost four years, he succeeded in the end! People all came to see the windmill he made from old cars and broken bikes.
William has built three windmills in his 60-person village. They make enough electricity for lights, radios and a public TV, and helped pump clean water for both farms and family use.
Now William wants to build more windmills across Malawi. "A windmill means more than just power, it means freedom."
Money to help with this project has come from all over the world, including China. The village children can all afford to go to school now. Many have been encouraged to work on science. William says people now see that if they make their minds on something, they can get success.

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）D
（2）C
（3）A
（4）B
【解析】這是一篇記敘文。主要講原本沒有電的時候，很多事情都做不了，一天，William從當(dāng)?shù)貓D書館借了一本八年級的叫做能源使用的美國課本，他在上面看到一張風(fēng)車的圖片決定造一個。盡管很多人認(rèn)為他是瘋狂的，甚至是他的父母也認(rèn)為做那個對一個小男孩來說太難了。但是他成功了，William在他的60個人的村莊里已經(jīng)建造了三個風(fēng)車。有了電能人們的生活更好了。
（1）D。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“One day, he borrowed an 8th grade American textbook called Using Energy from a local library. He saw a picture of a windmill in it and decided to build one.一天，他從當(dāng)?shù)貓D書館借了一本八年級的叫做能源使用的美國課本，他在上面看到一張風(fēng)車的圖片決定造一個。”可知是在一本課本上看到的風(fēng)車的圖片。故選D。
（2）C。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Even my parents thought it was too difficult for a little boy to do that.”可知，甚至是我的父母也認(rèn)為做那個對一個小男孩來說太難了。故選C。
（3）A。細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“William has built three windmills in his 60-person village. ”可知，William在他的60個人的村莊里已經(jīng)建造了三個風(fēng)車。故選A。
（4）B。語句理解題。本句原意是“一架風(fēng)車不僅意味著能源，它也意味著自由�！苯Y(jié)合前文在沒電的時候，很多事情都很難做甚至不能做，所以說這句話是說有了風(fēng)車人們能夠很容易的做到很多事情。故選B。
