18.In Asia,there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure (結(jié)構(gòu)),they are widely different in size and shape.Kite-fighting competitions are also held,in which competitions us their kites to attack and bring down their opponents'(對手)kites or cut their strings(線).
For more than 15years,the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite-making lessons,students can make kites in as little as 20minutes!Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龍).Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.
The kite that is used to give lessons is regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.
Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work,and can give hours of fun.Go on,give it a try!

4.Which of the following is true according to the text?D
A.A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.
B.Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.
C.Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.
D.Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.
5.What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?A
A.It has two strings.
B.It is simple in design
C.It has a rainbow pattern.
D.It is shaped like a diamond.
6.According to Jonathan,what do you need to have fun with kites?B
A.A large kite.
B.Any type of kite.
C.A complex structure.
D.A kite that impresses others.
7.What is mainly described in the text?A
A.A kite factory                         
B.Kite-flying lessons.
C.Special competitions.
D.The kite-making Process.

分析 本文屬于記敘文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們介紹了The Big Wind Kite Factory的相關(guān)事情,主要介紹了它的創(chuàng)始人,創(chuàng)辦的目的,員工及學(xué)生可以做的事情.

解答 4.D,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段最后一句可知,使用加熱的刀是切割(cut)尼龍,而不是iron the nylon(熨燙尼龍),故A項(xiàng)錯;B項(xiàng)與第三段最后一句"Then the controls are given to the students."相悖;根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知C項(xiàng)錯.由第二段倒數(shù)第二句"Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne."可知D項(xiàng)正確.
5.A,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段第二句"The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a twostring controllable kite."可知,與孩子們在制作課上制作的風(fēng)箏不同的是飛行課上使用的風(fēng)箏是雙線控制的,故選A項(xiàng).
6.B,觀點(diǎn)判斷題.最后一段介紹的是Jonathan的觀點(diǎn).根據(jù)"…it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite…"可知A、D兩項(xiàng)不正確;C項(xiàng)與最后一段第二句"Even the simplest structure can work,and can give hours of fun."相悖.結(jié)合最后一段可推知,Jonathan認(rèn)為任何類型的風(fēng)箏都可以給你帶來快樂,故選B項(xiàng).
7.A,主旨大意題.本文主要是介紹一家風(fēng)箏廠15年來一直為夏威夷一座島嶼上的孩子們開設(shè)風(fēng)箏制作和風(fēng)箏飛行的課程.文章主要聚集于這家工廠,講述kitemaking and kiteflying lessons是為介紹這家工廠服務(wù)的,另外文中涉及兩類課程,B項(xiàng)只是"風(fēng)箏飛行課程",顯然不全面.文章首段提到特殊的比賽,是為了引出風(fēng)箏比賽,進(jìn)而引出本文的中心話題,選C項(xiàng)就會本末倒置.D項(xiàng)"風(fēng)箏制作過程"在文中并未涉及.

點(diǎn)評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個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.

6.When choosing the perfect house,many people choose high ceilings and a sense of space,despite high price and the higher cost of heating expense in the winter.Now a new study suggests that tall rooms excite the brain and encourage people to explore space,based on previous research that high ceilings are linked to a sense of freedom.A psychologist thinks that the combination of a room that promotes free thinking and is stimulating to the senses,explains why people choose that kind of homes.
Dr.Oshin Vartanian of the University of Toronto-Scarborough,told Fast Design:"On the one hand,rooms with high ceilings improve exploration."An international study,led by Dr.Vartanian scanned the brains of volunteers while they looked at images of 200 rooms,half of which had high ceilings.Participants indicated whether each image was beautiful or not while in the MRI scanner and the experts found that people were more likely to find spaces with high ceilings attractive,than those with low ceilings.This suggests that high ceilings capture people's attention and improve the senses,encouraging people to explore the space they are in.But because the results didn't show any difference in brain regions linked to pleasure or emotion,the study,published in journal of environmental psychology,hints that high ceilings don't instantly put people in a good mood.
In 2007,another study,published in Journal of Consumer Research,revealed that the height of ceilings affects how people think.Marketing experts Joan Meyers-Levy and Rui Zhu modified the height of ceilings in rooms to study how participants responded.They discovered that high ceilings seem to cause people to think more freely,encouraging creativity and abstraction,while lower ceilings promoted confined thinking.For example,one experiment placed volunteers in a room with a high 3-meter ceiling,while asking them to solve anagrams.They were able to complete work puzzles faster than those in a room with a lower ceiling.
Dr.Vartanian said,"Knowing that people's preference for rooms with higher ceilings might be driven by the ability of those spaces to promote visuospatial exploration helps partly explain why people opt to live in such spaces."
33.What is the bes t title of the passage?A
A.Why do we love high ceilings?
B.What caused high house price?
C.How do we feel in the winter?
D.When will people feel excited?
34.From the passage,we can know high ceilings make peopleB.
A.explore the cost        
B.think more freely
C.see more colors          
D.get more homes
35.Dr.Vartanian carried out his study byB.
A.promoting visuospatial exploration
B.comparing volunteers'scanning pictures of brains
C.looking at images of 200 rooms
D.capturing attention and stimulating the senses.

13.Hey,ladies!It's summer again and it's time for a new you!No more make-up,no more pretending!Yes,that's right!It's time to stop making ourselves beautiful for the camera,and start posting confident pictures without all the make-up and extra tricks we add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful.Because believe it or not,we already are!
After we wash our face and go to bed,it is not so perfect.You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world!Who cares if you have pimples(面痕)or your eyes look small,or if you have crow's feet?Guess what?Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman.And any person who doesn't think so is just not as strong as you.
Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible.Yet the troth is,by doing this,we are actually making our tree skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on.We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people.And yet,our final goal is to find that without all of the make-up.What kind of twisted(扭曲的)game are we really playing with ourselves?

Yes,the saying,"Beauty comes from within"is an old one,definitely still holds some troth today.So be brave,carefree,and make-up free!Let the world see you for who you really are!
