【題目】Long, long ago people couldn’t write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. 【1】

The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (紙沙草) plants. People in other places wanted to learn from the Egyptians to use papyrus.

【2】 So, parchment (羊皮紙), made from goatskin, later took its place.

In ancient China books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.【3】 Paper-making later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.

【4】 They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.

【5】 Once a luxury (奢侈品) only the rich could buy, they soon became a treasure everyone could enjoy.

A. It took years to finish making just one book.

B. But papyrus grew mainly in Egypt.

C. Things grew a little easier when writing was invented.

D. Finally books could be printed by the thousands.

E. The Chinese were the first to think of a way to speed things up a little.

F. Books in the West didn’t change for a long time after that.

G. Its surface was smoother and better for writing on too.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】G

【4】E

【5】D

【解析】

本文屬于說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了紙張和印刷術(shù)的發(fā)展歷史，從人類發(fā)現(xiàn)紙到可以印刷書本的歷程。

【1】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后文The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus （紙沙草） plants可知有了寫作，記事情變得更容易了。分析選項，可知C項符合題意。

【2】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后文So，parchment （羊皮紙），made from goatskin，later took its place因此，羊皮制成的羊皮紙，后來取代了它（紙沙草）的地位�？芍霈F(xiàn)的問題是紙草生長主要在埃及。故選B

【3】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前文And then they invented paper．Made of trees，paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment然后他們發(fā)明了紙。樹木做的紙比紙草或羊皮紙更容易和更便宜。這種紙更容易寫。分析選項只在G項（它的表面更光滑，也適合書寫）與之相符，故選G

【4】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)本段的內(nèi)容是說有（ ）人找到了一種印刷的速度的方法。分析選項可知，只有E項（中國人首先想到了一個加快速度的方法。）與加快印刷有關(guān)。我們都知道中國發(fā)明了印刷術(shù)。所以E項符合題意。

【5】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前文The letters could be used to print copy after copy，and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words這些字母可以用來復(fù)印復(fù)寫，并且把這些字母一次又一次放在一起打印不同的單詞。第5題后內(nèi)容一旦有錢人能買得起奢侈品，他們很快就會成為人人都能享受的財富�？芍詈蟮臅梢源蛴〕汕先f。分析選項右知，選項D符合題意。

七選五閱讀是完成性閱讀，和完形填空很類似，不同的是一個選詞，一個選句子．解題時，要注意上下文語境，充分考慮信息詞（選項中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的詞），選出最符合語境的句子．由于七選五的題型空出的是整個句子，而這些句子與句子之間，必然有一種聯(lián)系，因此可以通過選項中某個名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關(guān)性來確定這兩個句子之間有一種關(guān)聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。如選項中的E與第4小題所在的倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容一致，都是說印刷速度加快了。由此可確定E符合。第3小題前說這種紙容易寫，與選項G（它的表面更光滑，也適合書寫）與之相符，故選G

【題目】 Teenagers have their own TV channels， websites and magazines. So what about books？

Last year one publisher， Martins， started publishing a series called Waves. We spoke to the director Julia Smith. She explained， "Teenage fiction has been published since the 1970s but publishers have never been very successful in getting teenagers to buy and read books. Now they're realizing that teenagers are just older children， but are not adults either. They are often not interested in adult fiction. For this series we are looking for new writers who write especially for teenagers.

Athene Gorr's novel was published in the series last year and is selling well. Its title is The Purple Ring. She says， "The important thing is to encourage teenagers to pick up your book. I'm a new writer. Although I've got an unusual name which people might remember， nobody knows it yet! But my book has a fantastic cover which makes people want to look inside. Then they realize what an excellent story it is!"

And what do teenagers themselves think about the series？ We talked to Sophie Clarke， aged 15. She said？ "I've read a few books in the Waves series. They say they are for 14-19 year olds and I agree with that. We're not interested in the same things as people in their twenties and thirties. I like them and I think they look really good too. The only thing is that because bookshops put them in the children section， lots of teenagers won't find them so they may not do very well. And it's a shame there's no such series as I think lots of teenagers， especially boys， might buy."

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 2？ ______

A.The Waves series are suitable for adults.

B.It is necessary to publish books aimed at teenagers.

C.Teenagers are more interested in reading nowadays.

D.Teenagers should be encouraged to read.

【2】What makes The Purple Ring catch people's eye？ ______

A.Its writer.

B.Its cover.

C.Its price.

D.Its title.

【3】What do we know about the Waves series？ ______

A.They have attractive covers.

B.They are about real facts.

C.They are popular with teenage boys.

D.They are wrongly placed in the children section.

【4】What does the author intend to do with the passage？ ______

A.To compare different series of teenage fiction.

B.To give information about a new series of books.

C.To encourage more writers to create fictions for teenagers.

D.To explain why teenage fiction is easier to write than adult fiction.

【題目】 My grandmother grew up in a world different from me. She experienced many things in her long life.

Though she never told stories, her stories were in the way she ate — she savored (品味) her food, cherished (珍惜) it. Often she would be the first to sit at the dinner table, and the last to leave. Food had been really scarce (缺乏) when she grew up.

Her stories were in the way she handed me lucky money. From a young age, my grandmother was brought up to understand the importance of hard work and the necessary of saving. Every Chinese New Year, I would be handed, or sent, a small red envelope that contained money, but never more than twenty dollars. When I was young , I didn’t understand why my grandmother gave me such a small amount of money. As I grew older, I realized that she wasn’t teaching me about money, but about tradition and hard work and family. The money was insignificant. I would probably spend it on any toy that I would lose soon after; it was the meaning behind her gift that mattered. It was her saying, “ I love you; I am your family and I want you to work hard as your family has before you.”

My grandmother’s stories were lessons. But they were never told in words. From the time that I was very young, up until she could barely remember my name, I remember her calling me “good girl”. Those two little words, in the course of my growing up, were a constant reminder that I was still so young, with still so far to go.

Now my grandmother is gone, but I see her every day. I see her in the women around me and in the mirror. She lives with me, inside me, and in the legacies(遺產(chǎn))that I will create. And I know she would be proud.

【1】The Author’s grandmother spent so much time eating at the table because ________.

A.she had no teethB.she had nothing to do

C.she was preparing to clear the tableD.she really wanted to enjoy the food

【2】What did the author learn from the way her grandmother gave her lucky money?

A.Her grandmother didn’t have much money.

B.Her grandmother preferred boys to girls.

C.It was a shame to accept others’ money.

D.It was important for her to work hard.

【3】What did the author realize hearing her grandmother call her “good girl” ?

A.She was really a good girl.

B.She needed to continually improve herself.

C.She should be proud of her manners and behaviors.

D.She was always a good girl in her grandmother’s eyes.

【4】What can we know about the author’s grandmother after reading the passage?

A.She loved telling stories.

B.She had never worked in her life.

C.She set a great example for the author.

D.She was a mean woman with old-fashioned values.

One evening years ago in New York, I sat on a bench in a park and watched a little boy, around 2 years old,【1】 (run) freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance away. The boy would fall to the grass,【2】(get) up, and without looking back 【3】his mother, run as fast as he could as if nothing had happened.

When kids fall down, they don’t think of the fall as a failure. Instead, they consider【4】as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. While I【5】(touch) by the boy’s strong mind, I was also touched by the way he ran. With each attempt, he looked so confident and natural. He only wanted to run【6】(free) and to do it as 【7】(good) as he could. He was just being a child—just being himself—being completely in the moment. He never gave up. Each time he【8】(fall), he got himself back up again, as if he knew that falling down was simply a part of life. He was not looking for others’ smiles, or worrying about【9】someone was watching or not. He only wanted to run and to feel the experience of running fully and freely.

I learned a lot from that experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in many【10】(part) of my life.
