2.Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets,John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery,human nature,and philosophy.Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education,his own studies and passion brought him much success.Additionally,his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
   Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family,the young John didn't attend a private school,but went to a public one.His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies.After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核),he began viewing life differently.He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything h e could get his hands on.
    At around the age of 16,the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor.However,his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy,especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser.He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816,entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell.Within two months in 1817,Keats had written an entire volume of poetry,but was sharply criticized by a magazine.However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm (韻律).
   John Keats'next work was Endymion,which was published in May 1818.The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human.Following Endymion,however,he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella.During this time,John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences.He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems.His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned.However,a bout (發(fā)作) with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821.
24.John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB.
A.his early education from school    
B.the deaths of his parents
C.Edmund Spenser's poetry           
D.the criticism of a magazine
25.What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother?A

B.They had a bad childhood
C.They read many books.
D.They showed strong interest in poetry
26.While pursuing his dream of becoming a poet at first,John Keats wasA.
A.determined      B.experienced C.knowledgeable       D.impatient
27.What do we know from the passage?B
A.Keats received little education at school.
B.Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor.
C.In 1816 Keats spent two months writing a poem.
D.Endymion was about a real love story.

分析 本文記敘了英國詩人John Keats的生平和作品.詩人兒時(shí)家庭貧困,曾經(jīng)學(xué)醫(yī),但是對詩歌更有興趣.父母的相繼去世,改變了詩人的人生態(tài)度,從此一改不愛讀書的習(xí)慣,躲進(jìn)書堆、逃避世界.1816年出版處女詩作.1817年出版詩集,但是受到一家雜志的尖銳批評,然而沒有放棄對詩歌的執(zhí)著.在意識到自己生活經(jīng)歷限制了自己詩歌創(chuàng)作之后,詩人原本在下一部作品中將詩歌與"知識"集合起來,但是英年早逝,于1821年離世.

解答 24.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第二段After his father's death in the early 1800s,followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核),he began viewing life differently.可知詩人在父母相繼離世后開始改變對生活的看法.故B項(xiàng)正確.
25.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis (肺結(jié)核)和文章最后一句a bout (發(fā)作) with tuberculosis …eventually take his life in 1821可知,詩人與母親死于相同疾。蔄項(xiàng)正確.
26.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從第三段最后一句However,the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm 可知,尖銳的批評沒有時(shí)詩人放棄對詩歌是執(zhí)著.故A項(xiàng)正確.determined:意志堅(jiān)定的.
27.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.由第三段第一句話the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon 可知,詩人16歲時(shí)曾師從一位外科醫(yī)生.surgeon:外科醫(yī)生.A項(xiàng)與原文不符,犯了偷換概念的錯誤.原文第一段說的是詩人沒有受過文學(xué)方面的正規(guī)教育(Keats didn't receive much formal literary education)而非"學(xué)校教育有限).1817年詩人用了不到兩個(gè)月寫出詩集,而非1816年,C項(xiàng)錯誤.Endymion是一首神話詩歌(love with the moon goddess)而非真實(shí)愛情故事,D項(xiàng)錯誤.故B項(xiàng)正確.

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

7.I remember my mother as a strong woman.She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language,she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University.With a degree in computer science,she finally became the manager of a company in New York.My mother could give fluent speeches,say"wolves"correctly.
It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language.From the time I was born,I was read to.I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents'voices,whether it was my dad's softly accented,or my mother's clear English.The flow of language was unbroken,and whether in Chinese or English,the stream of communication flowed through our house.
One October morning in sixth grade,after my mother had left to catch the train to the city,I left the house for the bus stop.I was surprised when I saw our car,the door hanging open.As I drew closer,I saw my mother lying on the ground.
In the hospital,it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom.My mother could not remember my name.As the leaves changed colors,it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mothers mind and mouth:her mind was not any less dear,but the words she spoke were not what she meant.
The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language.Without it,identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given,and knowing anything about anyone is impossible.Without language,communication cannot take place.Without language,one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger.The world would pass us by in silence.

21.From where might the author's mom come to America?A
A.China 
B.England
C.Russia 
D.Canada
22.According to the last two paragraphs,the author's mom was unable toB.
A.think clearly 
B.express herself well
C.speak 
D.open her mouth

A.a(chǎn)n accident 
B.a(chǎn) hit 
C.a(chǎn)n illness 
D.a(chǎn) robbery
24.This passage is mainly aboutB.
A.a(chǎn) strong mother 
B.the importance of language

8.Popeye the Sailor first became a popular cartoon in the 1930s.The sailor in that cartoon ate lots of spinach to make him strong.People watched him,and they began to buy and eat a lot more spinach.Popeye helped sell 33percent more spinach than before!Spinach became a necessary part of many people's diets.Even some children who hated the taste began to eat the vegetable.
Many people thought that the iron in spinach made Popeye strong,but this is not true.Spinach does not have any more iron than any other green vegetable.
People only thought spinach had a lot of iron because the people who studied the food made a mistake.In the 1890s,a group of people studied what was inside vegetables.This group said that spinach had ten times more iron than it did.The group wrote the number wrong,and everyone accepted it.
Today,we know that the little iron there is in spinach cannot make a difference in how strong a person is.However,spinach does have something else which the body needs-folic acid.It is interesting to point out that folic acid can help make a person strong.Maybe it was really the folic acid that made Popeye strong all along.

25.Why did many people eat spinach after they saw Popeye the Sailor?A
A.They thought spinach made them strong.
B.They thought Popeye was funny.
C.Spinach had a lot of iron.
D.People liked folic acid.
26.A research group told people that spinachD.
A.made Popeye strong
B.was a green vegetable
C.had less iron than other green vegetables
D.had more iron than other green vegetables
27.The reading passage says that perhaps Popeye got his strength fromB.
A.iron
B.folic acid
C.spinach
D.exercise
28.Folic acid isA.
A.something in food
B.a(chǎn) vegetable

14.Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet ripe(成熟的) or finished.
For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to a situation.In the 15th century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed.A century or so later,a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the 18th century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in a job.
About 100 years ago,greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities back east.The greenhorn lacked the skills he would need to live in the west.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early 1900s.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion,jealousy(嫉妒).The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello."
It describes the unpleasant feeling that a person has when someone has something that he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else.Or,that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.
In most places in the world,a green light is a signal to move ahead.A green light on a traffic signal means your car can continue on.In everyday speech,a green light means approval to continue with a project.
32.If a person was a greenhorn,he mightD.
A.be good at growing plants          
B.get along well with others
C.be a soldier in the 16th century       
D.have no experience in doing something
33.When you have trouble in growing flowers,you can ask for help fromA.
A.a(chǎn) green thumb      B.a(chǎn) green light  C.a(chǎn) greenhorn   D.a(chǎn) green-eyed monster
34.If a girl refuses your invitation to a dance party but accepting another gentleman's,you mayD.
A.need to buy a green light            
B.have to get a green thumb
C.show them your greenhorn          
D.be affected by the green-eyed monster
35.What is the passage mainly about?B

12.The World Health Organization says there has been a sharp increase in the number of over-weight children in developing countries.In African countries,the WHO says the number of over-weight or obese children is twice as high as it was 20years ago.round the world,about 43million children under the age of five were overweight in 2013.
Overweight and obese children are more likely to become overweight and obese adults.The condition can generate serious health problems like heart diseases.
Francesco Branca is the director of the WHO Department of Nutrition for Health and Development.He says urban lifestyle makes people eat processed food more often,which has a high sugar,fat and salt content.He also says people are gaining weight because of their lack of activities.They travel in cars or other vehicles more than on foot.
The WHO experts say to lower obesity rates is especially complex in countries that also deal with high rates of infectious(感染性的) diseases.
The WHO has some basic solutions for individuals and countries.The organization says you should lower your intake of fat,sugar,salt and processed food and eat more fruits,vegetables and increase physical activity.The WHO says these actions are especially important for children.
And WHO expert Branca says mothers should breastfeed their babies for at least the first six months of life,if possible.More importantly,governments should consider providing vitamins for children and educational campaigns about problems linked to obesity would also help.In his view,government policies should deal with how food is marketed to children and food producers must balance quality and taste with the dangers of sugar,fat and salt."Reducing the number of overweight children will not be easy.The goal is difficult to meet even in wealthy countries."he adds.
25.What is the main idea of Paragraph l?A
A.Overweight children in developing countries have increased greatly.
B.Children in developing countries generally weigh too much.
C.The number of overweight children in the world has doubled.
D.The World Health Organization has increased greatly.
26.According to Branca,people are becoming overweight because of their changes inC
A.physical condition
B.transportation
C.Lifestyles
D.school education
27.The underlined word"generate"in Paragraph 2probably meansA.
A.cause
B.prevent
C.cure
D.worsen
28.We can learn from the last paragraph thatC.
A.babies breastfed aren't likely to become overweight
B.food producers should be stopped from marketing food to children
C.governments should play a necessary role in fighting obesity
D.the number of overweight children decreases easily in wealthy countries.
