Fear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting(收缩)and pumping blood around their bodies, compared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed.Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle of contraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said: “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”

The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces.Dr Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed.Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don't see-and guide whether we see fear.”

To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner(扫描仪)to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person's feeling of fear.“We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain „speak‟to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”

1.What is the finding of the study? A.One's heart affects how he feels fear.B.fear is a result of one's relaxed heartbeat.C.fear has something to do with one's health.D.One‟s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.2.The study was carried out by analyzing _______.A.volunteers' heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures B.the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions C.volunteers' reactions to horrible pictures and data form their brain scans D.different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain communication 3.Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6? A.Order.B.System.C.Machine.D.Treatment.4.This study may contribute to _______.A.treating anxiety and stress better B.explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety C.finding the sky to the heart-brain communication D.understanding different fears in our hearts and heads 答案:1.A 2.C 3.B 4.A 2.2013安徽合肥质检

It is a tall tale that terrifies most young children.Swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested.Or so they say.An even worse tale is that swallowed gum can wrap itself around your heart.But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring.The gum base is pretty indigestible—it is a mixture of different ingredients（成分）that our body can‟t use.Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods.However, your digestive system has another way to deal with things you swallow.After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest.They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut（肠子）and come out at the other end one to two days later.The saliva（唾液）in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soon as we put it in our mouths.It might get through the shell but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible.It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short time can cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.1.Children might feel terrified after swallowing chewing gum mainly because ___________.A.they believe the tall tales about chewing gum

B.chewing gum will stay in their body for many years C.their heart will be wrapped by chewing gum D.chewing gum is indigestible for children 2.What happens to the food that can‟t be fully broken down?.A.It remains in our digestive system forever B.It will be eventually moved out of our body C.It will fight against the power of the gut D.It will stick to the gut for one or two days

3.The word It(in the 4th paragraph)refers to “___________ ”.A.the attempt B.the salvia C.the shell D.the gum base 4.What would be the best title for text? A.How does our digestive system work? B.Can chewing gum be swallowed by kids? C.Does swallowing chewing gum matter? D.Why swallowing chewing gum frightens kids? 参考答案: 1.A 2.B 3.B 4.C 3.2013 江西南昌模拟

“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in

the atmosphere，but changes in temperature，humidity and nutrient

availability seem to have trumped the benefits of increased carbon

dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past.The researchers point out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats，caused by climate change，are possible reasons for the shrinking of creatures.“We do not yet know the exact mechanisms involved，or why some organisms are getting smaller while others are unaffected，” the researchers said.“Until we understand more，we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify.”

The change was big in cold-blooded animals.Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles(爬行动物)smaller.An increase of only 1 ℃ caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢)．Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards.Fish are smaller now too.Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers，experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth.There is a recent report on warmer temperatures’ negative effects on plankton(浮游生物)，the base of the marine ecosystem.Warm­blooded animals weren’t immune from the size change caused by climate change.Many birds are now smaller；Mammals have been miniaturized too.Soay sheep are thinner.Red deer are weaker.And polar bears are smaller，compared with historical records.This isn‟t the first time this has happened in Earth‟s history.55 million years ago，a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees，spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years.That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough，especially those with long generation times.So，it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in the future.1．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A．Why do some species become smaller?

B．How does climate change in Earth‟s history? C．Climate change has many negative effects D．Species become smaller as climate warms

2．The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “________”．

A．increased

B．beaten C．strengthened

D．equaled

3．Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that________.A．how climate change affects animals’ sizes has not been found clearly B．all the animals on the Earth have become smaller

C．too many studies on animals’ sizes have been done

D．climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals 4．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Climate change has even affected plankton negatively.B．Birds have suffered more from climate change than fish.C．Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D．The warming event has never happened in Earth’s history before.参考答案: 1.D 2.B 3.A 4.A 5.A 4.2013郑州预测二

If the eyes are the romantic’s window into the soul, then the teeth are an anthropologist’s(人类学家)door to the stomach.In a study published last month in the journal Science, Peter Ungar of the University of Arkansas and his partner, Matt Sponheimer of the University of Colorado, US, examined the teeth of our early human ancestors to find out what they were really eating.They already knew that different foods cause different marks on teeth.Some cause scratches, while others cause pits(坑).The carbon left on teeth by different foods is also different.Tropical grasses, for example, leave one kind of carbon, but trees leave another kind because they photosynthesized(光合作用)differently.Traditionally, scientists had looked at the size and shape of teeth and skulls(头骨)to figure out what early humans ate.Big flat teeth were taken to be signs that they ate nuts and seeds, while hard and sharp teeth seemed good for cutting meat and leaves.But this was proven wrong.The best example was the Paranthropus(傍人), one of our close cousins, some of which lived in eastern Africa.Scientists used to believe Paranthropus ate nuts and seeds because they had big crests(突起)on their skulls, suggesting they had large chewing muscles and big teeth.If this had been true, their teeth should have been covered with pits like the surface of the moon.They would also have had a particular type of carbon on their teeth that typically comes from tree products, such as nuts and seeds.However, when the two scientists studied the Paranthroupus, it turned out to have none of these characteristics.The teeth had a different kind of carbon, and were covered with scratches, not pits.This suggests they probably ate grass, not nuts and fruit stones.It was the exact opposite of what people had expected to find.Carbon “foodprints” give us a completely new and different insight into what different species ate and the different environments they lived in.If a certain species had the kind of carbon on its teeth that came from grasses, it probably lived in a tropical grassland, for example.1.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means that anthropologists can ______.A.know the structure of human stomachs by studying their teeth B.find out the diet of early humans by studying their teeth C.learn whether humans were healthy by looking at their teeth 4 D.get the most useful information about humans from their teeth

2.According to Paragraphs 3-5，which of the following statements is true? A.Pits on teeth are caused by eating grass or leaves.B.Scratches on teeth are caused by eating nuts or seeds.3.The example of the Paranthropus was mentioned in order to tell us ______.A.they were one of our close cousins living in eastern Africa B.living environment makes a difference to skull structure C.they had different eating habits from other humans D.the size and shape of teeth don’t show accurately what early humans ate

4.Which of the following structures shows the best organization of the article?(CP： Central Point Para: Paragraph P： Point Sp: Sub-point次要点 C: Conclusion)

Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries.These satellite-based systems provide turn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to go.But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost.Many times, the driver is to blame.Sometimes a GPS error is responsible.Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two.Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden.The center studies human-computer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices.We spoke to Mr.Brown by Skype.He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States.There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay.Barry Brown: “And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.And, then it wasn‟t until they were driving for thirty minutes until they realized they actually put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived.They actually put their home address in.So again, the GPS is kind of 'garbage in garbage out'.”

Mr Brown says this is a common human error.But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment.Barry Brown: “One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn.Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it‟s going to the wrong place.”

Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego.While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh.The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people‟s cars.They wrote a paper based on their research.It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.”

Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you‟re doing when you use a GPS.There are these new skills that people have developed.There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.”

Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills.“The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving With GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers.These include maps that are outdated, 6 incorrect or difficult to understand.They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given.Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together.1.What is the best title for this passage? A.Is GPS system reliable to use?

B.What is the use of GPS? C.How to make the most of GPS? D.Blame!GPS or Passengers?

2.What is the implication of the underlined part? A.GPS is just a garbage device.B.GPS will not correct human errors.C.GPS adjusts your wrong destination.D.GPS is just as smart as human beings.3.Which is NOT mentioned as a GPS shortcoming in the passage? A.Small screen.B.Timing of commands.C.Outdated maps.D.Dear cameras GPS uses.4.According to the passage, people commonly believe that _____.A.you have to know where to go when using GPS B.you need to have new competencies to use GPS well C.GPS is proper for drivers with little sense of direction D.GPS is fit for people having good understanding of maps

Have you ever wondered why stems(茎)grow upwards and roots downwards? Why do plants always seem to turn towards the light and climbing plants run up rather than down? The answer is simple: auxin(生长素), a chemical substance that controls growth in plants.Auxin gives away its secrets Auxin is a plant hormone(激素).Darwin was already interested in it in the 19th century.Only in recent years, however, has the hormone started to give away its secrets, thanks to intensive molecular research.Auxin is produced in the young, growing parts of plants and then transported throughout the plant—to a low­lying stem for example.The stem needs to straighten out as soon as possible to be able to absorb the topside, resulting in the underside growing faster and the stem straightening out.For the same reason, plants in front of windows will always turn to the light.This active regulation of auxin transport allows plants to take ideal advantage of local and changing conditions.A new means of transport for auxin The transport of auxin through the plant plays a vital role.And, from all appearances, it is not a simple matter.The researchers identified an important new link and means of transport for auxin: PILS proteins(蛋白质).PILS proteins are vital for auxin­dependent plant growth and adjust the intracellular(细胞内的)storage of the hormone.It is exactly this compartmentalizing(分类)of auxin that seems functionally important for the various developmental processes.Growing crops more efficiently: the right amount of auxin in the right place Higher auxin levels at the right moment and in the right place result in better growth and greater harvest.Better adjustment of auxin levels would make plants grow more efficiently.The researchers hope to contribute to the development of more efficient growing processes by continuing to sort out auxin transport processes.1.Which of the following is TRUE of auxin according to the text?

A.It helps the plant to bend at the right places while growing.B．It prevents the roots of plants from growing faster.C．It is no use when the surroundings have changed.D．It helps the underside of plants grow faster than the topside.2.From Paragraph 3 we know that ________

A.the researchers are not so sure if the transport for auxin is a new one

B．the levels of auxin remain the same during the growing processes of plants

C．PILS proteins delay the growth of plants D．PILS proteins play an important part in the transport of auxin 3．According to Paragraph 2, the researchers got their results mainly by ________.A.referring to Darwin's theory

B．observing plants straightening C．doing intensive molecular research

D．watching plants in different places 4．Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? A.Why Plants Grow towards the Light? B．Darwin's Dream Has Come True C．How Did Scientists Find Out the Secret? D．A New Way of the Growing of Plants 参考答案: 1.D 2.D 3.C 4.A

阅读理解技巧

阅读理解题是考查学生对活的语言材料的理解能力，即通过阅读材料获得信息的能力。具体说来，阅读理解能力测试的主要要求是：（1）掌握所读材料的主旨大意，以及用以说明主旨大意的事实和细节；（2）既理解具体事实，也理解抽象的概念；（3）既理解字面意思，也理解深层含义，包括作者的态度、意图等；（4）既理解某句、某段的意义，也理解全篇的逻辑关系，并能根据文章进行推理和判断；（5）既能根据材料所提供的信息去理解，也能结合中学生应有的常识去理解。根据这几项能力测试的要求，试题中常采用如下几种题型：事实询问题、推理判断题、数据推算题、识图解意题和主旨大意题。根据这一测试要求和题型设计，答题时可以采取如下解题技巧和对策。

1．首先解题时要充满自信。由于平时有些同学对做阅读理解时存在一种畏惧心理，因此考试做题时心理就难免会产生紧张感，特别是阅读时再遇到几个生词就头脑发胀，从而使自己的思路更加模糊不清。其实这是完全没有必要的，因为阅读中遇到几个生词或几个难以理解的句子是常有的事，也是正常现象。因为按大纲要求，试卷中允许有不超过3%的生词，只要认真分析，仔细阅读，这些生词和句子很可能并不影响你的解题。所以答题之前首先要有必胜的信心。

2．扫读全文，理解全文主旨大意。拿到一篇文章，首先要快速扫读全文，虽为扫读，但不可漫不经心，阅读时也应聚精会神，力求可能多地获取材料信息，只是这次遇到生词和难句先不必去处理，不要因纠缠文中的个别生词和难句而影响了对全文的主旨大意的了解。

3．对症下药，各个击破。了解全文的大概意思之后，再把短文的问题简单看一遍，弄懂题意，然后带着问题再去寻读全文。这次阅读过程中要善于抓文章中的关键词句。寻读也就是迅速的查找需要了解的信息，是为某些特定的问题而阅读，因此阅读时要有较强的针对性，对与问题有关的数据，词句等仔细阅读，认真理解，同时结合不同考查内容的题型，采取如下解题对策：

（1）事实询问题：这类试题通常是以疑问词what，who，when，where，why，how等引起的特殊问句，就文章中某一词语、某一句子、某一段落或某一具体细节和事实进行提问。解答此类试题首先要弄清题目和每一个选项的含义，然后按题目要求寻找与之相关的细节，正确估计答案来源，同时注意题目和文章中的暗示作用。特别注意辨别各种信息，确认各种信息。

（2）推理判断题：此题要求我们通过表面文字信息去推测文章隐含的意思，对文章的发展情节及作者的态度、意图等做出合乎逻辑的的推理判断。这种题要求我们在阅读时要抓住文章的主题和细节、从分析文章的结构入手，根据上下文的内在联系，充分挖掘文章的深层含义。对暗含在文章中事件的因果关系，人物的动机，以及作者未言明的倾向、态度、意图、观点进行合乎逻辑的推理、分析和判断。同时善于抓住文中实质性的东西，不要被带假象的表面信息或似是而非的东西所迷惑。并且注意推断作者态度时要力求从作者的态度、观点去思考，切勿想当然，凭个人的观点习惯看法来回答的问题。

（3）数据推算题：此题要求我们就文章提供的数据，以及数据与文章中其他信息的关系做出计算和推断，然后做出选择。这就要求我们解题时，要在理解好题意的前提下去对与数据有关的信息认真分析，若数据信息较多，还要注意弄清数据之间的关系，同时分清有用与无用信息，最终作出正确判断。

（4）主旨大意题：此题用以考查我们对文章主题或中心思想的领会和理解能力。在解答此类试题时要注意每段的中心句，抓住每一段的主题句。一般主题句都用来表达一段主旨大意，因此，只要找准每段的主题句，文章的中心思想和文章的最佳标题也就不难确定了。

相信将这些阅读理解的技巧灵活的运用在做题过程中，英语阅读理解一定会有所提高。

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often.It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are near-sighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes, Everything else seems blurry(=unclear).Many people who do a lot of work, such as writing, reading and sewing become near—sighted.Then

People who are far-sighted suffer from just the opposite problem.They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm‟s length.If they want to do much reading ,they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape.They have what is called astigmatism(散光).This, too, can be corrected by glasses.Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts(白内障).Long ago these people often became blind.Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances.Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle(角度).To prove this to yourself, look at an object our of one eye;then look at the same object out of your other eye.You will find the object‟s relation to the background and other things around it has changed.The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is.People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.1.We should take good care of our eyes

.A.only when we can see well B.only when we cannot see perfectly

C.even if we can see well

The most important use of drifting(漂流)bottles is to find ocean currents.When the position and direction of currents are known, ships can use the forward movement of a current or stay away from currents that would carry them off their course.Benjamin Franklin was one of the first to use bottles in the study of currents.He wondered why British mall ships needed a week or two longer than U.S.ships needed in order to cross the Atlantic Ocean.Franklin thought the Gulf Stream(墨西哥湾流)might explain this difference.Franklin talked with captains of U.S.ships.He found that they knew each turn of the Gulf Stream.They used the current in every possible way.From his talks with the captains.Franklin made his first map of the Gulf Stream.Then he checked his map by using sealed(密封的)bottles.The map that he finally made is still used, with only a few changes, today.1.Why are drifting bottles used?

The blue eyes that looked at him from outside the door were like the light through a magnifying glass(放大镜)when it is at its brightest and smallest, when paper and leaves begin to smoke.“Hey ,” said the man in the door.“Remember me?”

“Yes,” the boy said, whispering.“Rick.”

He felt so surprised to see Rick.All of Rick seemed to be shown in the eyes, with a strong feeling that ought to have hurt him

“You knew me,” Rick said.“You hadn‟t forgotten.”

“You‟re ——just the same,” the boy said, and felt much thankful.He seemed even to be wearing the same clothes, the same blue shirt and grey trousers.He was thin, but he was built to be lean;and he was still, or again, sunburnt(晒黑了).After everything, the slow white smile still showed the slight feeling of happiness.“Let’s look at you,” Rick said, dropping into a chair.Then slowly he felt more at home, and he became once more just Rick, as if nothing had happened.There were lines about his eyes, and deeper lines on his cheeks(面颊), but he looked like——just Rick, lined by sunlight and smiling.“When I look at you,” he said, “You make me think about me, for we look like each other.”

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words.Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate(交际)with each other.Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things.First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛虫)changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them.Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal(信号)causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn‟t need to be in words.We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands.We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements.Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜)for honey.So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message? 1.It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.A.are lying on the ground B.have an unpleasant taste C.bees don‟t like D.have an unfamiliar shape 2.The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.A.growing more branches

In a very real sense, people who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read.To have read Gulliver’s Travels is to have had the experience of listening to Jonathan Swift, of learning about man’s inhumanity(残酷)to man.To read Huckleberry Finn is to feel what it is like to drift(漂流)down the Mississippi River on a raft(木排).To have read Byron is to have suffered his rebellions with him and to have enjoyed his nose—thumbing at(对„„的蔑视)society.To have read Native Son is to know how it feels to be frustrated(受挫折)in the particular way in which Blacks in Chicago are frustrated.This is effective communication(交流).It enables us to feel how others felt about life, even if they lived thousands of miles away and centuries age.It is not true that “We have only one life to live.” If we read, we can live as many more lives and as many kinds of lives as we wish.1.The sentence “People who have read good literature have lived more than people who cannot or will not read” suggests that ______.A.reading stimulates(激发)a desire to travel B.reading broadens(扩大)a person’s experience

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car.Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation(住所).I suggested that they should stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family.My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.“We didn‟t stay at bed and breakfast houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.”

I thought this was strange.Finally I understood what had happened.My friends spoke little English, and they thought „VACANCIES‟ meant „holidays‟, because the Spanish word for „holidays” is „vacaciones‟.So they did not go to house where the sign outside said „VACANCLES‟, which in English means there are free rooms.Then my friends went to house where the sign said „NO VACANCLES‟, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday.But they found that these houses were all full.As a result, they stayed at hotels!

We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs.In Spanish, the word „DIVERSION‟ means fun.In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road.When my friends saw the word „DIVERSION‟ on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun.Instead, the road ended in a large hold.English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages.Once in Paris.when someone offered me some more.coffee, I said „Thank you‟ in French.I meant that I would like some more, However , to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away!Later I found out that „Thank you‟ in French means „Mo, thank you.‟

1.My Spanish friends wanted advice about ______.A.learning English

Baths and bothing have long been considered of medical importance to man.In Greece there are the ruins(废墟)of a water system(系统)for baths built over 3,000 years ago.The Romans had warm public baths.In some baths, as many 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time.Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries.Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700‟s has also become popular in the United States.For many years frequent(经常的)bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health.Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells!

By the 1700‟s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health.They believed that it was good for people to be clean.Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently.During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common.In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular.During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as “The Great Unwashed!” In one American city , for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days!That was a law!

Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit.People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases.As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often.Some people bath once a day at least.They consider a daily bath essential(=necessary)to good health.1.A water system for baths was built by

Today I‟ll be talking about the invention of the camera and photography.The camera is often thought to be a modern invention, but as early as 1727, a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver salt.Used as a camera, a big box was set up, and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in;he made temporary pictures on the salt.Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today.Then a French scientist made the first permanent(永久的)picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt.A photograph he made in 1826 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the process(制作法)by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat.This was in 1839, the official date of beginning of photographs.But the problem was the printing of the photographs.And it wasn’t until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern.In the 1870‟s, Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War.In the 20‟s of this century, Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing(冲洗), and Dr Edward Lane invented the so—called ‘Instant Camera’ which uses self—developing film.If we say photography came into existence in 1839, it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度).1.What discovery was the basis of photography?

A.Light darkens silver salt.B.Light darkens natural salt.C.Light darkens silver.D.Light darkens self--developing film 2.How was the first permanent picture made?

A.By making use of special paper.B.By adding common salt to silver salt.C.By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.D.By using a special piece of metal.3.What does the speaker regard as the official date of beginning of photography?

A.1727

B.1826

C.1839

D.1870 4.According to the speaker why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?

A.He was a soldier.B.He took war photographs.C.He painted portraits.D.He designed a portable camera.5.What did Doctor Edward Lane invent?

A.A cheap process of developing film at home.B.A new kind of film.C.An automatic printer.D.An „instant camera‟ that develops its own film.50、（1分）

The fiddler crab(蟹)is a living clock.It indicates(=shows)the time of day by the colour of its skin, which is dark by day and pale by night.The crab’s changing colour follows a regular twenty—four hour plan that exactly matches the daily rhythm(节奏)of the sun.Does the crab actually keep time, or does its skin simply answer to the sun‟s rays, changing colour according to the amount of light strikes it? To find out, biologists kept crabs in a dark room for two months.Even without daylight, the crab‟s skin colour continued to change exactly on time.This characteristic(特性)probably developed gradually in answer to the daily rising and setting of the sun, to help protect the crab from sunlight and enemies.After millions of years it has become completely regulated(受控制)inside the living body of the crab.The biologists noticed that once each day the colour of the fiddler crab is especially dark, and that each day this happens fifty minutes later than on the day before.From this they discovered that each crab follows not only

the rhythm of the sun but also that of the tides(潮水).The crab’s period of greatest darkening is exactly the time of low tide on the beach where it was cought!1.The fiddler crab is like a clock because it changes colour ______.A in a regular 24—hour rhythm B.in answer to the sun‟s rays C.at low tide D.every fifty minutes 2.The crab‟s changing colour ______.A.tells the crab what time it is

People used to say, “The hand that rocks(摇)the cradle(摇篮)rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

Both these sayings mean the same thing.Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them..Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves.They want good jobs.When they work they want to be better paid.They want to be as successful as men.The American women‟s liberation movement was started by women who didn‟t want to stand behind successful men.They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success.They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence(自信)in herself.If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

It must have been around nine O’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark.As I came near to the gates I turned off the headlamps of the car so as to prevent the beam(光荣)from swinging(摇摆)in through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me.But needn‟t have done so, I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway---unless he had fallen asleep while reading.I put the car away and went up the steps, Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack‟s room.He was in bed awake but he didn‟t even turn towards me.“What‟s up, Jack?” I said.“For God’s sake(看在上帝面上), don’t make a noise,” he said.The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury(伤害).“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said.I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humour(迁就)him to keep him happy, “There’s a snake here” he explained, “It’s asleep between the sheets.I was lying on my back reading when I saw it.I knew that moving was out of the question.I couldn‟t have moved even if I‟d wanted to.” I realized that he was serious.“I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasn‟t bitten me yet but I daren‟t do anything to upset it.It might wake up.I‟m sick of this,” he said, ：” I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.”

It doesn‟t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive.That‟s what all doctors thought, until they heard about AI Herpin.AI Herpin, it was said, never slept, Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.AI Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey.They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind.So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.But they were surprised.Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping , In fact, he did not even own a bed.He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers.The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness.They found only one answer that might explain his condition.Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injurted(伤害)several days before he was born.But that was all.Was this the real reason?

In earliest times, men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries(神秘的事物)of nature.Some ancient peoples believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons(武器)of the gods.In reality, lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth.A single flash of lightning 1.6 kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs(灯泡).The American scientist and statesman, Benjamin Franklin, was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752.In the same year he also built the first lightning rod(避雷针).This device(装置物)protects buildings from being damaged by lightning.Modern science has discovered that one stroke(闪击)of lightning has a voltage(电压)of more than 15 million volts(伏特).A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13 kilometers, and travel at a speed of 30 million meters per second.Scientists judge that there are about 2,000 million flashes of lightning per year.Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30 to 48 times a year.In the United States alone it kills an average(平均数)of one person every day.The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car.Outside, one should go to low ground and not get under tress.Also, one should stay out of water and away from metal fences.Inside a house, people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things.With lightning, it is better to be safe than sorry? 1.People once thought lightning came from ________.A.the sky

Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day.English speakers are always creating(创造)new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes , however, no one may really know where a word comes from.Did you ever think about why hamburgers(汉堡包)are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe.They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg.They did not speak good English, but they ate good food.When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef(牛肉), they asked the Germans what it was.The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We come from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea.He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburg ate.Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them.Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”.Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting.Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting.too.This reason, for most English words, can be found in any large English dictionary.1.According to the writer, English is

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney.He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片)film for children.When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop!That’s our duck!”

The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen.Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家)and wore his sailor jacket and hat.Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film.The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper(发脾气)very quickly.And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子).Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn‟t a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930S,‟ 40s and „50s Donald and hid friends Mickey , Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons.He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home.Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985.But today‟s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.1.Who made Donald Duck film?

Why do we have in a camera a lens(镜头)instead of a simple hole?

The reason can be seen from the figures(图像).In Figure 1, the hole is small.Rays of light from a point(P1)outside reach a very small part of the wall opposite, and we see there a small point.But when the hole is bigger, as in Figure 2, rays from the point(P2)can cover a larger part of the wall opposite, and we don‟t see a clear point, Rays from other points(Q)outside can also fall on the same place inside.Therefore the picture is not clear when the hole is big and it is not bright when the hole is small because very very little light can pass through it..We can get better result with a lens.If the lens is made in the shape shown in Figure 3, all the rays of light from the point(P3)are thrown on point(P‟)inside.The picture which we see, therefore, is clear, and it is also bright because more light can pass through a lens than through a small hole.1.In Figure 1 we see a faint small point on the wall because

.A.the point(P1)is very small

B.the hole isn‟t big enough

C.light rays don‟t travel in straight lines

D.light rays can‟t pass through a small hole 2.Figure 2 shows that the bigger the hole is，.A.the more light can pass through

B.the clearer the picture will be

C.the better result we will get

D.the faster the light rays travel 3.From figure 3, we can see a lens

.A.can form a clear picture

B.can make light go in a straight line

C.can help light rays to go faster

D.cannot give the picture more light than in Fig.2 4.The main idea of the second paragraph of the article is that

.A.a smaller hole is better than a bigger oneB.big holes are better than small ones

C.both a big hole and a small one have their weak points

D.light rays are sure to pass through a hole no matter it is big or small 5.Which of the following statements is true?

Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians(行人)to cross roads safely.Overhead bridges are used to very much the same way as zebra crossings.They are more efficient(效率高的)although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps.This is inconvenient especially to older people.When pedestrains use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic.However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up.This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges.For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking(冒„危险)their lives by dashing across

the road.Old people , however , may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose.Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them.This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.1.What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?

A.Taller trucks can pass under them.B.Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C.They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D.They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.2.Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?

A.Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B.Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C.Because they save money for the government.D.Because they save time for the pedestrians.3.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B.Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C.Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D.Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.4.The underlined words a zebra crossing probably mean ________.A.a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea.Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man.The sea has provided man with food and a convenient(便利的)way to travel to many parts of the world.Today, nearly two—thirds of the world‟s population live within 80 kilometers of the sea coast.In the modern technological world, the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive(=continue to live).Resources on land are beginning to be used up.The sea, however, still can be hoped to supply many of man‟s needs.The list of riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology is impressive.Oil and gas explorations(探险)have been carried out for nearly 30 years.Valuable amounts of minerals exist on the ocean floor ready to be mined(开采).Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.The culture of fish and shellfish(贝类动物)is an ancient skill practised in the past mainly by Oriental people.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy.Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship.Ocean currents(水流)and waves offer possible use as a source of energy.Technology is enabling man to explore(勘探)ever more deeply under the sea.The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve.Experts believe that by the year 2000 the problems that prevent us from exploiting fully the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.1.The major things that the sea offers man are ______.A.fish and oil B.minerals and oil C.warm temperature and ocean currents D.the food, energy sources, and minerals 2.The sea serves the needs of man because ______.A.in provides man with food B.it offers oil to man C.it supplies man with minerals D.all of the above 3.We can conclude from this passage that ______.A.the sea resources have largely been used upB.the sea, in the broad sense, has not yet been developed

Now and again I have had horrible dreams, but not enough of them to make me lose my delight in dreams.To begin with.I like the idea of dreaming, of going to bed and lying still and then, by some queer magic(神奇的魔力), wandering into another kind of existence.As a child, I could never understand why grown-ups took dreaming so calmly when they could make such a fuss(大惊小怪)about any holiday, This still puzzles me.I am puzzled by people who say they never dream and appear to have no interest in the subject.It is much more astonishing than it would be if they said they never went out for a walk.Most people do not seem to accept dreaming as part of their lives.They appear to see it as an irritating(令人困扰的)little habit, like sneezing or yawning(打哈欠).I can never understand this.My dream life does not seem as important as my waking life because there is far less of it, but to me it is important.1.What is the author‟s attitude toward dreaming?

One morning, when we had been riding on our bikes for five hours, we came to a bridge where the railway crossed a pond(池塘).For 30 feet there was nothing but the widely-spaced wooden sleepers(枕木)under our wheels, and nothing to stop us falling into the steaming pond below if we lost our balance.Right under the bridge lay the body of a dead cow.I watched Mat as he came near to the bridge and rode straight over, without ever, slowing down.I stopped.“What‟s up?” he cried out from the other side.“I‟m not riding over that thing.If I slip, I‟ll be in there with that cow,” “There‟s nothing to it.I just did it.didn‟t I?”

“You‟re stronger and taller.My feet don‟t touch the ground.You do it for me!”

Have you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while.Those around you might not like it, but scratching(moving your nails(指甲)against a part of your body)and twitching(moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to)is an important way of burning up calories(卡路里).American researchers have found that some people’s squirming(continuously turn your body when nervous)and wigging(move in small movements, especially from side to side)equals(等于)several miles of slow running each day.The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health‟s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and other stay slim.In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount(量)of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)levels.By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping,(moving the front part of your foot up and down)finger-drumming(hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard)and other nervous habits.However, others had burned up only 100 calories.The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men.Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.1.Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”?

A.scratching and twitching B.squirming and wiggingC.slow running D.moving one‟s body nervously 2.We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ____.A.thin people burn up less calories than fat people B.fat people burn up more calories than thin people

常识课上，老师对植物的讲解，把我带到植物世界里。听完课，我动了心，决心种点什么，仔细观察它的生长过程。

回到家，我找到了两个花盆，满心欢喜地种下了辣椒籽。下种后，我每天都要给它浇些水，盼望种子早些发芽。一天中午，弟弟告诉我花盆里出小苗了，我飞一样地跑到窗台前，只见一棵小嫩芽拱出土，又过了两天，好几棵小芽出来了。小芽越来越多，我给小辣椒间苗，把太密的小苗小心翼翼地拔掉了一些。

到了盛夏，每株辣椒已有半尺多高了，它们的茎上都缀满了欲放的花苞，几天后，一朵朵雪白的小花，先后开放了。大约又过了四五天，辣椒就开始结果了，出现了青绿的椭圆形的小辣椒，一个个缀在茎上，真惹人喜爱。

秋风吹进窗来，带进一股香气，辣椒开始由青变红，看上去更让人喜爱。一个个两寸多长的小辣椒挂在枝头对我微笑，感谢我对它们的辛勤培育。收获的时节到了，我满怀欣喜地把成熟的辣椒一个一个摘下，竟收了小半筐。

我看着筐里的辣椒，心想：这多有意思呀！知识来源于实践，而实践又必须付出辛勤的劳动，这难道不是真理吗？

2、蒙蒙的小雨

蒙蒙的小雨正落着，陈红骑着自行车悠然于柏油路上。她没有穿雨衣，因为她觉得在这样细雨中骑车很浪漫。她望着路两边来去匆匆的行人，心想：这些人真是的，干嘛要东躲西藏的。

忽然 迎面一辆 的士 飞驰而来 她猛地拐向路边 但车把挂在树干上 她摔倒了 小妹妹 没事吧 一个小伙子站在她身边问道 陈红白了他一眼，没有理他。心想：谁是你的小妹妹？她一翻身想站起来，可左腿的剧痛却使她不得不重新坐在地上，她接连两次试图站起来，都没成功。最后，只好放弃了努力。小伙子一笑，“别逞强了，还是送你上医院吧。”接着，拉起陈红的车子，又扶陈红坐到车架上，推起车子向医院走去。温柔如丝的春雨淅淅沥沥地落着。陈红已不再潇洒，只感到沉重。她坐在车上，望着前面推车的小伙子，不知该说些什么。

她发现小伙子走路不太自然，仔细观察，只见小伙子左腿的袜端与裤腿之间不时地露出一段刺目的棕色。那是什么？啊，他装着一只假腿。陈红想问问他的腿，却不愿张嘴。这时，只听到小伙子自言自语地说：“三年前，我也喜欢在细雨中骑车，那的确很潇洒，可是我却重重地跌倒了，像你一样。不，还不如你。”“噢，你的左腿——？”停了一会儿，小伙子说：“就在那次跌倒时被后面的汽车轧断了。”听了这话，陈红陷入了沉思??

医院到了，小伙子搀着陈红进了急诊室。“我去通知你父母，你知道他们的电话吗？”陈红把号码告诉了他。不一会儿，陈红的父母风风火火地赶来了。见到女儿腿上雪白的绷带，忙问这问那。陈红把经过告诉了他们，又说，“要不是那位大哥哥，我真不知该怎么办好，哎，他呢？”这时，只听护土小姐说：“那个小伙子，看见你爸妈来后，他就离开医院了。”陈红怔住了：“我还不知他叫什么呢！”

昨夜，一场无情的大火把我家的一切都烧成了灰烬。第二天一早，妈妈催我去上学。书没了，书包也没了??叫我怎么去上学呢？我带着悲伤和疲劳，慢慢地朝学校走去。

教室里，同学们都在读书，我低着头走进了教室。不知是谁小声说了声：“玲玲来了。”同学们不约而同地放下课本，抬起头用同情的目光看着我，大家虽然都没有说话，但看得出大家又都想说些什么。教室里出奇地静，好像没有人一样。

这时，中队长方萍手拿一个大纸包走过来，对我说：“别难过！这些都是同学们送给你的学习用品。我给你买了一条红领巾和一块中队委员的标志。来，我给你戴上。”

“玲玲，这是我爸爸给我买的精致的彩色笔，我把它送给你。”

时间不久，她突然来了。我与她很陌生，格格不入。她比妈妈小好多岁，长得比妈妈好看。她话不多，手可勤，下班回到家就闲不住。我和爸爸的世界在她手下很快变了样儿。爸爸自然高兴，我心里却不舒服，仍想着自己的妈妈。爸爸逼我叫她“妈妈”，我硬是不肯，而且哭了，还扬起手去打爸爸。“叫我阿姨好了。”她说，看不出她有生气的样子。她下班回来常给我带些好吃的，还有玩具、衣服„„给什么我都要，可就是不叫“妈”。

她做了绝育手术，为的是只要我一个，爸爸又逼我叫她“妈妈”，我还是不开口。“就叫阿姨好了。”她还是那句话。

我的生日到了。那是她第一次为我过生日。我的小房间布置得焕然一新，我换上了一身新衣服，她还给我买了许多学习用品。吃得更新鲜，都是她亲手做的。我最喜欢的还是那个大蛋糕，上面插着13 支蜡烛，蛋糕上用奶油镶嵌着四个字：新的旅程。烛光与彩灯相辉映。说笑之间，我飘然如梦。恍惚中，我情不自禁地冲她叫了声：“妈。”她马上应了一声，很自 然。爸爸当然高兴。从这以后，我便开始叫她“妈”了。‖

5、碗

我们山村的孩子们吃饭都是用一种粗瓷大碗，叫海碗。盛上一碗饭，夹一些菜放在饭上，一齐涌到村口的小场上来吃。我们有的坐在石板上，有的坐在木墩（dūn）上，有的干脆蹲在那儿。大伙儿一边吃饭，一边说话，可热闹呢。大家还可以自愿地你吃点我的菜，我吃点你的菜，结果一顿饭吃了好几种菜，比在家里吃强多了。

我们端着碗出场的第一个“节目”是猜菜：大家把手里的碗举得高高的，让对方猜，猜不着，就吃对方一口菜；猜着了，就让对方吃一口菜。小小的手儿，要举起那么大个碗，是要有一点点技术的。弄不好，碗打破了，饭吃不成还要挨一顿打。可尽管这样，这个“节目”却从未中断过。

有一次猜菜，我的碗打破了。我吓哭了。隔壁一个比我大两岁的小姐姐，忽然把自己的碗给了我，自己拾起破碗回家去了。不一会儿，我们就听到她妈妈的骂声：“打破碗了？你死去了！”接着是“啪”的一巴掌。

这一巴掌好像打在我的心上。我端着碗默默地回家去，饭也没吃完。妈妈以为我病了，泡了一碗红糖茶给我喝。我把茶端到屋后给正在屋檐下哽（gěng）咽（yâ）的小姐姐喝。小姐姐喝了一口，笑了，一眨眼，两滴亮晶晶的泪珠落进了碗里。

后来我读大学了，回家看她。她已经结了婚，生了个漂亮的小女孩，跟她小时候一模一样。当我们说起这打破碗的故事时，她回忆说：“你妈打起人来比我妈厉害，你又小，我怕你受不了„„”

她说得很平静，我心里却像倒海翻江一般。

6、手术成功了

一天放学，我回到家，打开鸡窝，高兴得叫起来：“成功了！成功了！”爸爸听了连声问：“什么成功了？”“试验成功了。”我一边说一边拉着爸爸来到鸡窝前，指着那只吃了塑料管的小鸡说：“鸡嗉里的塑料管‘消化’了。”“哪有这种事？”“不信你摸摸看。”爸爸一摸鸡嗉，更惊奇了，问我是怎么回事，我高兴地向爸爸讲起了事情的经过。‖

自从发现小鸡误吃了不能消化的塑料管后，我一直在想：能不能把小鸡嗉里的管子取出来呢？我左思右想，突然眼睛一亮： 有了？医生能给病人剖腹取出瘤块，使病人康复，难道鸡嗉就不能剖开吗？我就借它做个试验吧。于是我第一次当了外科医生，我想好了动手术的步骤后，拿来消毒药水、剪刀、镊子、针线，并请小表弟做我的助手。

手术台就是小椅子。我让小表弟把鸡仰在椅子上，按住小鸡的脚和头部，不让它乱动。我先用剪子剪去鸡脖子下的毛，然后用棉花蘸上消毒药水擦洗要开刀的部位，又用一只手捏着鸡嗉上的皮，先划破鸡皮再刺破鸡嗉，这时，鸡“叽叽”地乱叫起来。看到小鸡痛苦的样子，我的手不知不觉地停了下来，但是为了小鸡的生命，为了试验，我还是硬起头皮，继续将口子划大，然后小心翼翼地将镊子伸进鸡嗉，夹住管子的一端，慢慢拔了出来。这时从刀口处冒出许多红色的血和气泡，小鸡发出无力的叫声，我心里一阵紧张，连忙用针线将伤口缝好。‖

手术后，我把“小病号”放在温暖的窝里。小鸡两眼眯着，缩着脖子，蹲在角落里，一动也不动。我既希望着又担心着。今天，我回来，看到小鸡不但没死，反而能找食吃了，这不是说明手术成功了吗？爸爸听到了我的介绍，忍不住哈哈地笑起来，夸我敢想敢干，将来可以当医生。‖

很久以前，“森林学校”里有两个学生：野兔和狐狸。野兔学习很认真，他总是准确地回答老师提出的问题，狐狸的学习稍差些。所以，它一见到野兔，就很客气地打招呼，问一声好。野兔也总是以礼相答。

过了几天，野兔由于生病，学习成绩下降了，落到了狐狸后面。病好后，他就背上书包去上学。路上，他遇到了狐狸。

“狐狸同学，你好哇！”野兔先向狐狸打了一个招呼。狐狸好像没听见，仍旧向前走。

怎么了 狐狸 你不认识我了吗 野兔跟上去问 接着说 我是你的同学野兔呀

“谁知道你是哪里的一只野兔子，竟敢和我称同学。哼，走开！”狐狸不屑一顾地回答。

野兔感到很委屈，他一声不响地来到学校，开始努力学习起来。又过了几天，野兔的成绩又名列前茅了。这天放学后，野兔又遇到了狐狸。

一天中午放学时，天上突然下起了倾盆大雨。我们不能回家吃午饭了，于是我就和何菲一起到学校对面的幸福餐厅去吃面。

幸福餐厅生意兴（xīng xìng）隆，宽敞的店堂里早就客满。何菲排队买面条，我找座位，好不容易才等到两个空位子。我便坐下来，把书包放在另一个座位上等何菲。邻座是一位打扮入时的姑娘，她旁边的座位也空着。

正等着，我看见一位老奶奶扶着一位盲人爷爷走过来。老爷爷身穿雨衣，戴着墨镜，拄着红白相间（ji ān jiàn）的拐杖。老奶奶看见我们这张桌子还有一角空着，就想让盲人爷爷坐下。那位漂亮姑娘连忙叫道：“喂，这儿有人！”

“等人来了，我们再让吧??”那位老奶奶用商量的口气说。

“那不行！我朋友马上就要来的。”

老奶奶见姑娘不肯让，只好无可奈何地扶着盲人爷爷站在旁边。

“老奶奶，这儿有座位，你们来坐吧！”我连忙站起身来。

“哦?”老奶奶感到意外，她怔怔地望着我。

“不要紧，我同学去买面条了，看样子，还要等一会儿呢！你们先坐吧。”我热情地扶盲人爷爷坐下。

正在这时，何菲一手端着一碗面条小心翼翼地往这儿走。

老奶奶见何菲来了，连忙起身让座。

何菲急忙放下面条，让老奶奶和盲人爷爷坐好，说道：“我们不急，你们先吃吧！”

两碗香喷喷（pēn pân）的面条放在二位老人面前，我随即递给盲人爷爷一双筷子，亲热地说：“老人家，您请用餐吧！”“可真太谢谢你们啦！”老奶奶十分感激地说。盲人爷爷一边津津有味地吃着，一边不住地念叨：“这餐厅的服务态度真好„„”

闻名全国的艺术珍品九龙壁，是一座用琉璃瓦砌成的影壁。今天我游览了北海公园，亲眼见到了它。它那精美的造型使我赞叹不已。

九龙壁，高五米，长二十七米，厚一点二米。在影壁的正反两面，用七色的琉璃砖分别镶嵌成九条巨龙。它们色泽鲜艳，形态逼真，像是在腾云驾雾似的，要冲出影壁，飞向天空。你看，一条黄龙和一条紫龙正在争夺一个火球。它们瞪圆了双眼，怒目相视。黄龙叉开四爪，伸出了锐利的尖钩；那条紫龙也不示弱，傲慢地摆动着尾巴，轻蔑地照着对方，仿佛说（）（）你有什么了不起（）敢和我较量吗（）（）

看日出须早起。四点钟还不到，我就起身，沿着海边的大路，向着东山走去。我走得很快，不久，便爬上了山顶。

残（cán）云已经散尽了。几颗晨星在那晴朗的天空中，闪烁(shuò)着渐渐淡下去的光辉(huī)。东方的天空泛起了粉红色的霞(xiá)光。

天边的朝霞变浓变淡，粉红的颜色渐渐变为桔红，以后又变成鲜红了。而大海和天空也像起了火似的，通红一片。就在这时，在那水天融为一体的苍茫远方，一轮红日冉(rán)冉升起。开始时，它升得很慢，只露出一个弧(hú)形的金边儿。但是，这金边儿很快地扩大着，扩大着，涌了上来。到后来，就不是冉冉升起了，而是猛地一蹦就出了海面。于是那辽(liáo)阔的天空和大海，一下子就布满了耀(yào)眼的金光。

过了几天，三个人又碰面了。第一个人说：“登上峰顶，也不过那么回事。还是知难而退好。省了许多力气。”第二个人说：“是啊！所以我适可而止，中途退下，还是明智的。”那么登上峰顶的人笑了笑，说道：“不过，顶峰上的无限风光，你们是无法看到得。”

14、校园秋色

今天早晨，我到校特别早，便想看看校园的秋色。

我信步来到学校的花圃，只觉一股清新的空气扑鼻而来。树叶上滚动着圆溜溜、亮晶晶的露（lòu lù）珠，怪可爱的。

花圃里盛开着许多菊花，它们显得五彩缤纷：白如雪、红似火、黄赛金。它们的姿势也不一样：有的伸展着很多长长的花瓣，叫“千手观音”；有的花瓣上面直，到了下面就弯曲（qǔ

qū），叫“海底捞月”；有的菊花张牙舞爪（zhuǎ

zhǎo），叫“蟹菊”；还有一种叫“羞答答”的菊花，因为它总是低着头，就像一个害羞的小女孩。真是千姿百态，令人目不暇接。

花圃里多数树木的叶子已经枯黄了。在一阵瑟瑟的秋风中，树叶飘落下来，就像一只只花蝴蝶在林间飞舞，向人们传递着秋天的信息。然而，雪松却依然那样苍翠挺拔，向人们显示着自己顽强的生命力。

突然，一大片红色映入眼帘，原来是枫树，它就像一团火在熊熊燃烧。我不由得轻轻吟起了唐朝著名诗人杜牧的《山行》：“远上寒山石径斜，白云生处有人家。停车坐爱枫林晚，霜叶红于二月花。”

四年级阅读理解练习题

爱学习的小姑娘

暑假的一天，我漫步在西双版纳的油棕林里，忽然从身后传来稚嫩的童音：“大姐姐，要树菠萝吗？”我回过头，只见一个傣家小姑娘眨着眼睛冲我笑，那双眼睛如清泉一般清澈、透明。

“你卖吗？”望着这大约七八的小姑娘，我反问道。“我……我不卖。”那双会说话的大眼睛流露出一种渴求。刹那间，那目光落在我的书包上，又突然如闪电一般转移开。傣家小姑娘的眼皮垂了下来，长长的睫毛遮住了她那双明眸。

“大姐姐，我只想换你书包里的书……”

‚你会读书吗？几年级？‛我不解，现在傣家富了怎么还不给孩子买书呢。

上三年级了，可爹娘说傣族姑娘不用读书，会干活就行了，我已经一年没去上学了……我有几本书，但不够读……“那失神的大眼睛，流露出无可言表的忧伤，我的心被深深触动了－不是么？

虽然傣族重女轻男，但干活是女人们的事，读书却是男人们的事，这是导游多次给我们讲过的。”你学习好么？……“"我在班里总考第一，所有的男生都比不过我，可……大姐姐……”那双眸眨着亮晶晶的光，那金色的光点，又一次跳跃在我的书包上。小姑娘的话不知怎地咽住了。解：写的是，为什么那么小就在外面买东西∥微风轻轻拂过，油棕的叶片被吹得“哗哗”的响，小姑娘秀美的长发被风托起，星星般的眼睛在太阳的照耀下一闪一闪。

多么美的景致，多么可爱的小姑娘。我又能为她做点什么呢？对……我从书包里掏出所有的书，把适合她的书都给了她。小姑娘笑了，笑得是那样甜，美丽的大眼睛里流露出说不尽的欣喜与感激。“大姐姐，这些都给你，这一筐都是树菠萝。”傣族小姑娘接过书，把背在背后的筐送到我的手中之后，便迅速地跑开了。“小妹妹，我不要这些，书是送给你的。”

小姑娘停了下来，亮亮的大眼睛望着我：“大姐姐，这就算个纪念吧！”她向我挥着手，“谢谢你。”解：写的是，我把书送给小妹妹∥一群红嘴鸥从天空飞翔而过，渐渐地消失了，留下一片抹不掉的白色。小姑娘的身影也渐渐远去，但那充满渴求的眼睛却深深地印在我的脑海中

最引人注目的是公园的一角。这里有一个圆形的喷水池，池中有一座别致的假山。池里的水清润（rùn）得宛如一块天然的翡(fěi)翠，平滑无暇，清澈见底。当微风拂过水面时，水面上就泛起层层鱼鳞般的波纹。池中的假山是由好几块奇石巧妙地堆成，很精巧。假山顶端喷出一股又细又高的水柱。那水柱喷出后，又斜落下来，成了一串银白的水珠，晶莹耀眼。微风吹过，犹如点点白梅撒在水面上，荡漾起一圈圈小小的涟漪（yī），飘散在空中，仿佛给假山披上一层轻纱，格外美丽。

池中有许多色彩斑（bān）斓（lán）的金鱼，它们互相嬉（xī）戏，好不自在。瞧，一条花尾金鱼刚浮到水面上，嗖的一下，转头又钻入水底下去了。看，又来一条，眼睛大大的，鼓鼓的，穿着黑色的晚礼服，好像是要去参加隆重的盛会。它昂着头，不停地摆动着尾巴，像是在炫耀自己：“瞧，我多漂亮！”

喷水池的周围，摆着一盆盆绽蕾吐艳的菊花。粉红色的花蕊嵌在金黄的花瓣中，在绿叶的映衬下显得格外鲜艳。微风吹来，菊花就像一个个少女在翩翩起舞。

小池.、假山、金鱼和菊花，构成了一幅美丽的图画。

齐白石

齐白石是我国杰出的画家，他的画举世闻名。许多人纷纷拜访齐白石，要他介绍经验，传授画画的秘诀。齐白石在一次接待客人时，诚恳地说：“作画并无秘诀，全在一天也不能空闲。”

这的确是他的经验之谈。齐白石从四十六岁起就定居北京，从那时开始，他坚持每天都要画画，从来没有间断过。他八十五岁那一年，有一天，一连画了四张画。这对他来说，已经是够累的了。但他还是继续画，坚持又画了一张。画完以后，他在画上题了几行字：“昨天大风雨，心绪不宁，不曾作画，今朝特此一张补充之，不教一日闲过也。”

老鼠买鱼

一天，鼠倾巢出动，窜上大街要把所有的鱼全买下来。

鱼行老板问：”你们不愁吃喝，买那么多鱼干啥？“

”虽不愁吃喝，可要平安无事总得破费些钱财呀！“老鼠狡黠地笑了笑。鱼行老板仍听不明白，却狠狠地敲起竹杠来。一下子，鱼价抬高了几倍。买完鱼后，小老鼠们有的把鱼扛在身上，有的举在头上，有的抱在手上。这时一个小老鼠跑到老鼠头领面前说头儿咱们买这么多鱼干啥呀老鼠头领说笨蛋咱们不愁吃有老猫就过不了安稳日子猫爱吃鱼咱们送些鱼不就和猫化敌为友了吗哈哈说着，露出得意的笑容。小老鼠仍听不明白，但也不想去问了，心想：头儿让我干啥，我就干啥。跟着头儿干准没错。

老鼠把鱼买完了，街上没有鱼卖。猫只好自认晦气，运气不好。不过，从此每天都有老鼠给猫送鱼，猫非常高兴，果真与鼠”化敌为友“了。

旅行鸽和普通的鸽子非常相似。不过，他的后背是灰色的，似乎还有些发蓝，而胸前的颜色又是鲜红的，所以看上去是那么的绚丽多彩。

旅行鸽不仅好看，而且数量繁多，曾经地球上数量最多的鸟类之一，当它们组成庞大的队伍，唱着高昂响亮的歌儿，飞过北美洲上空时，鸟群遮住了阳光，地面上一片昏暗。有的旅行鸽的队伍长达十五公里，宽两公里，数量足有两一只。

改变旅行鸽命运的，是它的肉食用起来味道鲜美。如果用棍棒向天空挥动几下，就能打下好几只旅行鸽。如果用猎枪，捕杀几百只甚至几千只就更不在话下了。这就是当时的事实。那时候，每天都有几百万只旅行鸽被火车送到城里，变成了餐桌上的佳肴。随着人们对森林的大面积砍伐和狩猎活动的普遍进行，旅行鸽的数量逐渐减少。1900年的一天，随着一声枪响，最后一只野生的旅行鸽被击伤了。1909年，曾经有铺天盖地阵容的旅行鸽，只剩下三只了，它们生活在一家动物园里。1919年9月1日，最后一只旅行鸽]在这家动物园中死去，美国所有的报纸和电台都报道了这一消息。

旅行鸽从铺天盖地到物种灭绝，只有短短的五十年时间。而在二十世纪，竟有数以百计的动物，从地球上永远地消失了。

⑴给文章加个题目：________。

⑵用-----画出文中表示绚丽多彩意思的句子；用……画出文中表示铺天盖地意思的句子。

⑶你认为旅行鸽灭绝的原因是：

⑷你从旅行鸽的命运联想到什么？用几句话写下来。_________________。

”成“与”功“

失败者对于成功，一方面是羡慕不已，另一方面是急躁不安，巴不得一口吃成个大胖子。殊不知成功是由 成 与 功 两个字组成的 成是功的积累 叫做 功到自然成

晋代大书法家王羲之，20年临池学书，洗笔把池水都染成黑色了，才有在书法上炉火纯青的造诣。功是成的基础，一个人要想取得成功，必须要经过艰苦的奋斗，这个过程也就是功的积累过程。

一滴水从檐楣上掉下来，重重地落在石头上，”啪“的一声炸出一朵水花，可是石头上看不到丝毫的痕迹。然而，经过一年、两年……坚硬的石头终于被水滴滴穿。

如果成功很容易，无需奋斗就能达到的话，如果成功不是需要功的积累，不需要努力攀登的话，那成功就会变得廉价，成功就失去了它原有的耀人的色泽，那我们还要成功干吗？

李时珍跋山涉水，遍尝百草，数十年如一日地收集整理，笔耕不息，才有药学巨著《本草纲目》的问世；司马迁游历各山大川，博览经典秘籍，遭受宫刑，忍辱负重，笔耕不辍，才有《史记》的诞生。

在走向成功的路上，既无捷径，也没有宝葫芦，所以与其坐着羡慕别人”成“，倒不如站起来积累自己的”功“。须知，任何一朵鲜花的盛开，都需要花苞长期孕育；任何一枚勋章都要成功者付出相应的代价。成功是自私的，它绝不会将辉煌施舍给懒汉，成功又是公平的，它会毫不保留地将满天的灿烂星光照在坚持不懈的奋斗者身上。

1、给第一小节的空白处加上标点。

2、短文列举了哪些人物的事例说明”功到自然成“？分别用一句话作简要的概括。

3、”水滴石穿“对你有什么启示？请你结合自己的学习、生活实际，谈谈你的启示。

4、用上 ”成功“一词，用一句话写写你读了本文以后的收获

一诺千金

①去陕西出差，先到一个很偏远的小镇，接着坐汽车去村里。路凹凸不平特难走。沿着盘山公路转悠，没多久我就开始晕车，吐得一塌糊涂。后来翻过了两座高山，过了一条湍急的河，走了一个多小时才好不容易捱到了村里。

②于是我开始忙着拍照，一群小孩子好奇地围着我，该换胶卷了，我随手把空胶卷盒给旁边的一个小孩子，她高兴极了，其他的孩子羡慕地围着看。看着小孩儿喜欢，我又拆了个胶卷盒给另一个小孩儿，他兴奋得脸都红了。我又翻翻书包再找出两支圆珠笔分给孩子们，惹得更多的孩子渴望地看着我的书包，我真后悔没多带几支笔。我拉着一个穿红碎花小褂的女孩儿问：”叫什么呀？“"小翠。”“有连环画没有？”“没有。”旁边男孩儿说：“学校只有校长才有本字典。”“姐姐回北京给你们寄连环画来，上面有猫和老鼠打架，小鸭子变成天鹅的故事。”听得他们眼睛都直了。

③我拿出笔记本：“记个地址吧。”“陕西×县李庄小学……”“谁收呢？”“俺姐识字，她收。”过来一个大一点的女孩儿，“姐姐，写李大翠收。”“好吧。”

④从陕西又转道去四川、青海。回北京忙着写报告，译成英文，开汇报会，一晃就是两个月。一天，偶尔翻到笔记本上的“李大翠”，猛然想起小村子的孩子们。我犹豫了一下：“孩子们早忘了吧？就是寄过去，也许路上丢了，也许被人拿走了，根本到不了孩子们手里。”

⑤第二天，我还是拜托有孩子的同事带些旧书来。大家特热情，没几天，我桌上就堆了好几十本，五花八门什么都有：《黑猫警长》、《邋遢大王》、《鼹鼠的故事》、《十万个为什么》、《如何预防近视眼》，居然还有一本《我长大了，我不尿床》，呵呵，是有婴儿的妈妈给的。从家里找了本《新华字典》，又跑书店买了本《课外游戏300例》，一同寄走了。归帆

我看过太湖上的归帆，也看过东海上的归帆。

夕阳把水面映得通红，把天空也染成万道彩霞。一会儿，黄昏的纱幕就轻轻地落在水面上。就在这当儿，水天相接处出现了一只帆影，接着又是一只……不多久，整个船队都出现了，它们散散落落地驶回港口，仿佛一队出征的战士，唱着凯歌整队回营，带着满舱的战利品。

但这只是在岸上看到的远处的景象，等到这些船只快靠码头，船老大准备向岸上抛缆绳的时候，情形便不一样了。

有的船上喜笑颜开，热火朝天，小伙子们打闹着，嬉笑着，隔着水同岸上的人大声地打招呼，问村里今天能有些什么事，广播有些什么重要新闻，也故意说些无关紧要的话。这样的船，不用问，就能断定今天的成绩很好，超额完成了生产指标，说不定还网住了几条少见的大鱼。有的船，几乎是垂头丧气，悄悄地溜回来的。船老大一面不停地抽着旱烟，一面望着水面沉思，平时爱打闹的小伙子，像泄了气的皮球，闷声不响地蹲在甲板上，岸上的人同他们打招呼，有的不搭理，有的只好苦笑着嚷了一句：“嗨！今天倒霉，别说了！”这样的船总是由于某种原因，今天没有完成任务。虽说渔家的生产并不在乎一天的得失，但是没有完成自己定的指标，人们总不会有好的情绪。对集体，对生产的责任感，在纠缠着、冲击着他们。

沉沉夜暮笼罩着每个鱼家的笑语和沉思，无论是哪条船上的人们，都休息了，积畜力量准备迎接新的战斗。对于明天的信念，人们总是相同的。既使暂时泄了气，在明天早晨出海的时候，也一定会抖擞精神，重新鼓起劲儿来。

1．联系上下文，理解加粗的字，再解释词语。喜笑颜开：垂头丧气：

2．划出文末一段中的四个错别字，并把改正过来的字依次写在横线上：

3．本文是按照怎样的顺序记叙“归帆”的景象的？从文章的哪些语句可以看出来？

4．第3自然段在文章中起到什么作用？

5．“对于明天的信念，人们总是相同的。”“明天的信念”指的是什么？ 朋友

小儿今年4年级，每天放学后都忙着呼朋唤友，打打闹闹□互换各类卡片；周末还要组织同学们搞小队活动，上兴趣班，看上去忙得很。星期天下雨，搞不成活动，没有小朋友来，他会拉开窗户朝外面看他养的几盆花草。冬日的冷雨打在金盏菊小小的花瓣上，花芯里积着一小弯盈盈浅水，他就在作文里马马虎虎地写道：‚雨溅在花瓣上，乒乒乓乓像放鞭炮……‛我忍不住笑道：‚儿子，太夸张了吧。‛

10多岁的男孩，心思都在玩上，教会他细细观察人和事，不是件简单的事。现在的小孩都是独生子女，婴幼儿时期，年龄小，只要给他们吃饱、穿暖，健健康康的就行了。长成小小少年，就有了他们自己的兴趣和玩伴了。为人父母的，并不是每时每刻都懂得孩子的心的，以为只要把孩子所有的空闲时间都利用起来，就能使孩子充实、快乐。其实，小小少年在空闲时间里，最想要的是朋友的友谊。

记得儿子上幼儿园时，一天傍晚，从外面玩回来，满头汗，花猫脸，浑身上下泥迹斑斑，手里却举着一捧新鲜的桂花枝，说是阿婆朋友送的。我没大留意他的话，随手拿了只玻璃杯装了点水递给他，让他自己摆弄。

过了几天，儿子又带回一捧缀满绿叶红果的桔树枝。一进门就对我说：‚阿婆朋友家的桔子多好吃呀，妈妈，你也吃一个。‛我看着他，问：‚阿婆朋友到底是谁呀？‛儿子说：‚上次我和小朋友们在阿婆家外面玩，周寒生鼻子出血了，阿婆给他止了血。阿婆还说，下次，我们有困难就找她，她是我们的朋友！‛哈哈，笑死我了，瞧瞧我的儿，一点点大的人，就在外面交了老太太朋友了。

后来，我们搬家了，儿子也上一年级了。一天放学回家，儿子脖子上挂了一只红绒线编的小网袋，里面是一只绿壳鸭蛋。儿子兴奋得结结巴巴，过了好长时间，我才听清了这只鸭蛋的来历。后来，我真的好感动，为这一老一少纯真的感情。

1．写出下列词语的近义词。留意纯真2．给本文第1、2自然段的括号内填上适当的关联词。3．根据提示，补充文章最后一自然段留下的空白。（提示：这一天可能是什么日子？是谁给‚儿子‛送的鸭蛋？）

4．本文为了表现阿婆和儿子纯真的友谊，依次写了哪3件事？（概括每件事，字数不超过15个）（1）（2）（3）

5．读了本文，你有什么感想？请写出最想说的一句话。

长成一颗珍珠

很久很久以前，有一个养蚌人，他想（培养养育）一颗世界上最大最美的珍珠。

他去海边沙滩上挑选沙粒，并且一颗一颗地问那些沙粒，愿不愿意变成珍珠。那些沙粒都摇头说不愿意。养蚌人从清晨问到黄昏，他都快要（绝望失望）了。

就在这时，有一颗沙粒答应了他。

旁边的沙粒都嘲笑起那颗沙粒，说它太傻，去蚌壳里住，远离亲人朋友，见不到阳光雨露明月清风甚至还缺少空气只能与黑暗潮湿寒冷孤寂为伍不值得可那颗沙粒还是无怨无悔地随着养蚌人去了。

斗转星移，几年过去了，那颗沙粒已长成了一颗晶莹剔透、价值连城的珍珠，而曾经嘲笑它傻的那些伙伴们，却（依然竟然）只是一堆沙粒，有的已分化成土。

如果说世上有‚点石成金‛术的话，那就是‚艰难困苦‛了。这可是人生的至宝啊！你忍耐着、坚持着，当走过黑暗与苦难的长长隧道之后，你或许会惊讶地发现，平凡如沙粒的你，不知不觉中，已长成了一颗珍珠。

1、将括号里不恰当的词语划去。

2、给第四自然段中没有标点的地方加上标点。

3、读文章完成填空。一颗沙要，甚至只要与为伍，才能成为。

5、这则寓言故事告诉我们的道理是：

一位母亲与家长会

第一次参加家长会，幼儿园的老师说：‚你的儿子有多动症，在板凳上连三分钟都坐不了，你最好带他去医院看一看。‛

回家的路上，儿子问她老师都说了些什么？她鼻子一酸，差点流下泪来。因为全班30名小朋友，惟有他表现最差：惟有对他，老师表现出不屑。然而，她还是告诉了她的儿子。‚老师表扬了你，说宝宝原来在板凳上坐不了一分钟。现在能坐三分钟了。其他的妈妈都非常羡慕妈妈，以为全班只有宝宝进步了。

那天晚上，她儿子破天荒地吃了两碗米饭，并且没有让她喂。

儿子上小学了。家长会上，老师说：‚全班50名同学，这次数学考试，你儿子排49名。我们怀疑他智力有些障碍，您最好能带他去医院查一查。‛

回去的路上，她流下了泪。然而，当她回到家里，却对坐在桌前的儿子说‚老师对你充满信心。他说了，你并不是个笨孩子，只要能细心些，会超过你的同桌的，这次你的同桌排在第21名。‛

说这话时，她发现，儿子暗淡的眼神一下子充满了光，沮丧的脸也一下子舒展开来。她甚至发现，儿子温顺得让她吃惊，好象长大了许多。第二天上学时，去得比平时都要早。

孩子上了初中，又一次家长会。她坐在儿子的座位上，等着老师点她儿子的名字，因为每次家长会，她儿子的名字在差生的行列总是被点到。然而，这次却出乎她的预料，直到结束，都没有听到。她有些不习惯。临别，去问老师，老师告诉她：‚按你儿子现在的成绩，考重点高中有点危险。‛

她怀着喜悦的心情走出校门，此时发现儿子在等她。路上她幅着儿子肩膀，心里有一种说不出的甜蜜，她告诉儿子‚班主任对你非常满意，他说了，只要你努力，很有希望考上重点高中。‛

高中毕业了；一个第一批大学录取通知书下达的日子学校打电话让她儿子到学校去一趟。她有一种预感，她儿子被清华录取了，因为在报考时，她给儿子说过，她相信他能取这所学校。

她儿子从学校回来，把一封印有清华大学招生办公室的特快专递交到她的手里，突然转身跑到自己房间里大哭起来。边哭边说：‚妈妈，我一直都知道我不是个聪明的孩子，是您……‛

这时，她悲喜交加，再也按捺不住十几年来凝聚在心中的泪水，任它打在手中的信封上。

1、用--画出写母亲表情的句子。

3、读了这篇文章你一定有很多话要说，把你最想说的话写在下边。

4、试着用一句简短的话概括这篇文章的内容。

汉字与中国心

1998年春在美国纽约，一位美国青年问我：‚为什么中国人的凝聚力那么强？‛

我戏答曰：‚第一，我们都吃中餐；第二，我们都讲中文，用汉字。‛

汉字，确实是人类一绝。其形声义俱全，信息量远远大于拼音文字。汉字又整齐又灵动，特别是适宜于表达一种微妙的、诗意的情感，一些普通的字词，往往联结着久远的文化底蕴：例如‚中华‛、‚神州‛、‚大地‛、‚海内‛、‚天涯‛、‚芳草‛、‚知己‛……都能使受过中华文化教育的人浮想联翩，心潮难己，这是通过翻译稿读中国文学作品的人所无法体会的。

最最能体现汉字中文的这些特别的首推中国的古典诗词，一个中国的孩子，甚至在牙牙学语的时候，就能够背诵许多古典的诗词了。过年时吟‚爆竹声中一岁除‛；春雨时吟‚清明时节雨纷纷‛；中秋时吟‚明月几时有‛；送别时吟‚劝君更进一杯酒‛；喜悦时吟‚漫卷诗书喜欲狂‛；慷慨时吟‚大江东去‛；激越时吟‚凭栏处潇潇雨歇‛……古典诗词已经规定了、铸就了中国人的心理结构。

我曾经对于文字改革持激烈的反对态度。现在，人们渐渐明白汉字是不应该也不可能废除了。

1、根据上下文理解词语：戏答：________铸就：_____心潮难己：____

2、选做题

（1）文中提到的‚神州‛、‚海内‛、‚天涯‛‚知己‛等词语分别指什么？

（2）写出文中下列几句诗词的后半句：

清明时节雨纷纷，____明月几时有，______劝君更进一杯酒，__大江东去

3、仔细阅读课文，回答问题：

（1）汉字中文的特点是什么？_

（2）中国古典诗词对中国人的影响主要体现在什么地方？

4、根据你对课文的理解，说一说为什么中国人的凝聚力会那么强？ 暖意

一天，走进一辆出租车，司机正在收听广播，是一个不新鲜的故事--某日某路口发生一起交通事故，肇事司机逃逸，撇下一个叫陆小六的人在血泊中呻吟。一个不愿透露姓名的人把陆小六送到了医院，值班大夫薛达在未收取陆小六住院押金的情况下为他实施了手术……

‚这年头，做点分（fēnfèn）内的事也能混个名人当。医生嘛，可不就得（déděi）救死扶伤，不收押金救条命也值得上喇叭吹！‛司机愤愤不平地说。

电波继续传送：陆小六脱离危险后居然不辞而别，身后，欠下了上万元的医药费……

‚这个不仗义的东西。唉，这年头，啥样的人都有。有些人呢，就是不配那一撇一捺--快听，要通缉那陆小六呢！‛

女播音员的声音隐去，取而代之的是一个带有浓重南方口音的男声：‚陆小六，你好，我是你的医生薛达。你现在在哪里？腿上的伤口没有感染吧？你走得很匆忙，连声招呼都不打，可把我急坏了。陆小六，我今天来到交通台的直播间，是想通过广播的方式尽快找到你。我不是向你讨要医药费的，我只是想对你说，你的腿骨上还留有两块金属夹，如果不尽快取出，你可能会面临截肢的危险……陆小六，你记着，你的医生薛达在博爱医院等你。‛

侧眼看着那位饶舌的司机，只见他的嘴巴紧紧抿住，脸上写满感动。拐弯了，他很抒情地按了三声喇叭……

1、划去括号中不正确的读音。

2、用‚不辞而别‛写一个句子。

3、（1）‚有些人呢，就是不配那一撇一捺。‛‚有些人‛指谁？你是如何理解这句话的？

4、这篇文章想表现在中心是。

A、责怪司机太饶舌B、批评陆小六不应不辞而别C、谴责肇事司机D、赞扬医生对病人的高度负责的精神

5、你如果就是那位司机，你最后想说什么？ 她是我的朋友

我听说过这样一件事。

战争时期，有一天，几发炮弹落在一所孤儿院里。两名儿童当场被炸死，还有几名儿童受了伤，其中有个小姑娘。

附近医院的医生和护士接到消息，带着救护用品迅速赶到了，经过查看，他们确认这个小姑娘伤得最重，如果不立刻抢救，就会因为休克和流血过多而死去。

输血迫在眉睫。医生和护士都不具有她的血型。有几名受伤的孤儿却可以给她输血。一位女医生告诉这几个孤儿，如果他们不能补足这个小姑娘失去的血，她一定会死去，问是否有人愿意献血。

一阵沉默之后，一只小手颤抖地举起来。忽然又放下去，然后又举起来。

噢谢谢你医生说你叫什么名字。

‚阮恒。‛||

叫阮恒的小男孩很快地躺在草垫上。他的胳膊用酒精擦拭后，一根针扎进他的血管、抽血过程中阮恒一动不动，一句话也不说。

过了一会儿，他突然啜泣了一下，全身颤抖并迅速用另一只手捂住脸。‚疼吗，阮恒？‛医生问道。阮恒摇摇头。但过了一会儿，他又开始呜咽并再一次试图用手掩盖他的痛苦。医生又问是不是针刺疼了他，他又摇了摇头。

接着，他那不时的啜泣变成持续不断的低声哭泣。他眼睛紧闭着，用牙咬着自己的小拳头，想竭力制止抽泣。

医生问他为什么这样哭，然后用轻柔的声音安慰他。男孩立刻停止了哭泣，好像刚才什么事也没有发生一样。||

事后，医生对周围的人说：‚他是以为自己就要死了。他想准会让他把所有的血都给那个小姑娘，好让她活下来。‛

‚但是他为什么愿意这样做呢？‛有人问。

医生转过身向那个小男孩提出同样的问题。小男孩回答说：‚她是我的朋友。‛||

1、写出下列词语的近义词。（1）愿意（2）迫在眉睫

2、抄出文中表示‚哭‛的词语，并再举两个。举例：

3、给文中‚‚里加上恰当的标点，4、文中画‛‚的句子说明了什么？

5、你认为怎样才叫‛朋友‚？

6、短文结尾的特点是。点明中心；照应开头；扣题。

7、认真读文章，概括短文中心思想。
