10.What Is a Boy?
    Between the innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightful creature called a"boy".Boys come in different sizes,weights,and colors,but all boys have the same belief:to enjoy every second of every minute of every hour of every day and to fill the air with noise until the adult males pack them off to bed at night.
Boys are found everywhere-on top of,under,inside of,climbing on,swinging from,running around,or jumping to. Mothers spoil them,little girls hate them,older sisters and brothers love them,and God protects them. A boy is TRUTH with dirt on its face,BEAUTY with a cut on its finger,WISDOM with chocolate in its hair,and the HOPE of the future with a snake in its pocket.
When you are busy,a boy is a trouble-maker and a noise. When you want him to make a good impression,his brain turns to jelly or else he becomes a wild creature bent on destroying the world and himself with it.
A boy is a mixture-he has the stomach of a horse,the digestion of stones and sand,the energy of an atomic bomb,the curiosity of a cat,the imagination of a superman,the shyness of a sweet girl,the brave nature of a bull,the violence of a firecracker,but when you ask him to make something,he has five thumbs on each hand.
He likes ice cream,knives,saws,Christmas,comic books,woods,water (in its natural habitat),large animals,Dad,trains,Saturday mornings,and fire engines. He is not much for Sunday schools,company,schools,books without pictures,music lessons,neckties,barbers,girls,overcoats,adults,or bedtime.
Nobody else is so early to rise,or so late to supper. Nobody else gets so much fun out of trees,dogs,and breezes. Nobody else can put into one pocket a rusty knife,a half eaten apple,a three-feet rope,six cents and some unknown things.
A boy is a magical creature-he is your headache but when you come home at night with only destroyed pieces of your hopes and dreams,he can mend them like new with two magic words,"Hi,Dad!"

分析 本文敘述了作者對男孩的一些看法,介紹了男孩的一些特點喜好和調(diào)皮的纖維,運用了幽默的語言在文章中表達出的是對男孩的愛和喜歡.

解答 41.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)本文中的詞匯如第一段Betweenthe innocence of babyhood and the seriousness of manhood we find a delightfulcreature called a"boy".Boys come in different sizes,weights,and colors說明本文使用的是幽默風趣的語言,從字里行間說明對男孩充滿了愛,故A正確.
42.B.詞義推斷題.根據(jù)when you ask him tomake something,he has five thumbs (拇指)on each hand.和之前的句子課當我們讓孩子制作東西的時候,他就什么就很笨了.因為在英語中thumb指笨的意思.故B正確.
43.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段He is not muchfor Sunday schools,company,schools,books without pictures,music lessons,neckties,barbers,girls,overcoats,adults,or bedtime.和之前的內(nèi)容He likes ice cream,knives,saws,Christmas,comicbooks,woods,water說明男孩不喜歡周日上課等等,故D正確.
44.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段Boys are found everywhere-on top of,under,inside of,climbing on,swinging from,running around,orjumping to.Mothers spoil them,little girls hate them,older sisters andbrothers love them,and God protects them.和He likes icecream,knives,saws,Christmas,comic books,woods,water (in its naturalhabitat),large animals,Dad,trains,Saturday mornings,and fire engines.說明男孩特別的調(diào)皮,作者對他們的調(diào)皮行為感到驚訝,故C項正確.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

20.Best bike-sharing cities in the world
When Citi Bike rolled onto the streets of New York this Memorial Day,it was treated as a national event and even international media took notice.In advance of the launch,one blog post on Le Monde's website claimed,"Bike share to conquer America."
The next major development was in Copenhagen,which introduced a coin-operated system in 1995 called Bycyklen,or"City Bike."For 17 years,these bikes zipped through the streets of Denmark's capital until the program was shut down late last year-it's getting an upgrade to third generation technology.
Sponsored by media giant Clear Channel,the French city of Rennes brought the next generation of bike share to the world in 1998 by replacing coin operation with card access and electronic booths.From there the technology has progressed,picking up GPS and real-time tracking along the way,and has spread throughout Western Europe-and the world.
According to the Bike Sharing World Map,maintained by DeMaio and Russell Meddin of Bike Share Philadelphia,there are 553 bike share programs in operation worldwide and another 193 in planning or under construction.
And they're not just in Europe and North America.The worldwide leader in bike sharing,as measured by the number of bikes,is China.According to data collected by the Earth Policy Institute,20 of the 25 largest bike share programs are Chinese.Its largest one,in the city of Wuhan,has twice the number of bikes as all of France's shares combined.
Although most of the systems share several characteristics-bikes with low theft value,electronic docking stations,ranked payment scales-different cities are trying different ways to make bike sharing work.
Take a look at Hangzhou,China,this city of 6.2 million near Shanghai,and you'll see what just may be the best bike share in the world.Although now second on the planet (and China) by size,the Hangzhou Public Bicycle system is one of the densest shares,and probably the most extensively used one,anywhere,largely because of its mixing into public transport:a single card grants access to subway,bus,ferry,taxi and bike share.Residents and tourists alike can put down a deposit of 200 Chinese Yuan (about 33)andrideforanhourforfreeinthissceniccityontheYangtzeDelta.Eachadditionalhouristheequalofonly0.15-one reason why riders put in a quarter-million rides a day.By 2020 it's projected to have 175,000 bikes.
71.What does the blogger mean by the underlined part"Bike share to conquer America."?C
A.Bike share is a national event.B.Bike share attracts international media.
C.Bike share is popular in America.D.America is a kingdom of bikes.
72.In 1995 citizens in the French city of Rennes can get access to bike shareAA.by putting coins into the system                             
B.by inserting a card into the system
C.by showing ID card to the booths                           
D.by boarding the docking station
73.Which of the following countries has the most bikes?D
A.America.B.Denmark.C.France.D.China.
74.Which of the following statements is TRUE about bike share?C
A.No thief will steal bikes
B.The payment is the same among cities.
C.Any city has her own way to operate it
D.There is no competition between cities.
75.If you tour in Hangzhou you can find the bike share there isB.
A.the most advanced in the world                              
B.a(chǎn) most successful example
C.free for local people                                                    
D.a(chǎn)vailable at scenic spots.
