19.You may have heard of the book Moby Dick(《白鯨記》),written by the American author Herman Melville.You may also know that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.However,it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.
Melville's first two novels,Typee and Omoo,were widely read and financially successfully.They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands.Melville became quite famous.However,upon the publication of his third book,Mardi,Melville's popularity began to weaken.He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure,and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏遠) the general reading public of his time.
Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851.it was an original novel,combining aspects of sociology and philosophy,which confused readers by its complex symbolism.The book sold poorly.
Melville's next book,Pierre,was almost completely disregarded by the public.Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector.Eventually,Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.
The Civil War is the main subject of Melville's poetry.He and his brother made a trip to the front line,and he published a book of poems,Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War,based on this experience.
Melville died in 1891at the age of 72.a(chǎn)t this point,his work had been completely forgotten by the public.His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years.Then,in 1920s,his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work.Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.

24.What were Melville's first two novels mainly about?D
A.His travel experience.B.His successful communication skills.
C.Adventurous experiences in the front line.
D.Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.
25.We can learn from the text that Moby DickA.
A.sold a little better than Pierre.B.was Melville's favorite novel.
C.was copied from other books.D.made Melville popular again.
26.The text may be taken fromB.
A.a(chǎn) writing guide                          B.a(chǎn) literary journal.
C.a(chǎn) science magazine.D.a(chǎn) critical book on literature.
27.What is the text mainly about?C
A.The main works of Melville.B.The skills in Melville's writing.
C.The ups and downs of Melville.D.The reason for Melville's failure.

分析 本文是一片記敘文.主要介紹了美國著名作家Herman Melville所寫的幾本小說,他最初的小說Typee and Omoo很受歡迎,接著Mardi就不太受歡迎了.

解答 答案:DABC.
24:D.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands可知,他最初的兩本作品都是關于大海探險以及在外國的經(jīng)歷.故D選項正確.
25:A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851.it was an original novel,combining aspects of sociology and philosophy,which confused readers by its complex symbolism.The book sold poorly.可知 Moby Dick這本書艱澀難懂,銷量很差.再根據(jù)Melville's next book,Pierre,was almost completely disregarded by the public可知,他的下一本書Pierre幾乎沒有得到公眾的認可,也就是說Moby Dick賣的比Pierre稍微好一點,故A選項正確.
26:B.推理判斷題.本文主要介紹的是美國著名作家Herman Melville所寫的幾本小說,屬于文學領域的話題.最可能是從文學刊物上摘錄而來的.故B選項正確.
27:C.主旨大意題.本文屬于人物傳記類短文,主要介紹了美國著名作家Herman Melville所寫的幾本小說,他最初的小說Typee and Omoo很受歡迎,接著Mardi就不太受歡迎了.Moby Dick這本書艱澀難懂,銷量很差,Pierre根本沒有收到讀者的認可,后來他干脆去寫受歡迎了.但是他去世以后Moby Dick卻受到人們的熱捧.所以本文主要關于Melville起伏的人生.故C選項正確.

點評 閱讀理解考查對文章的理解能力.找主題句的四個小竅門:1.段落中出現(xiàn)表轉折的詞語(如however,but,in fact,actually,while,on the contrary,in contrast等)時,其后的句子很可能是主題句.2.首段出現(xiàn)疑問句時,對該問題的回答很可能就是主題句.3.作者有意識地反復強調(diào)的觀點,通常是主旨;反復出現(xiàn)的詞語,一般為體現(xiàn)文章主旨的關鍵詞.4.表示總結或結論的話常有therefore,thus,in short,conclude,conclusion等.

14.Dujiangyan is the oldest man-made water system in the world,and a wonder m the development of Chinese science.Built over 2,200 years ago in what is now Sichuan Province in Southwest China,this amazing engineering achievement is still used today to irrigate over 6,000 square kilometres of farmland,take away floodwater and provide water for 50cities m the province.
In ancient times,the region in which Dujiangyan now stands suffered from regular floods caused by overflow from the Minjiang River.To help the victims of the flooding,Li Bing,the region's governor,together with his son,decided to find a solution.They studied the problem and discovered that the river most often overflowed when winter snow at the top of the nearby Mount Yulei began to melt as the weather warmed.
The simplest fix was to build a dam,but this would have ruined the Minjiang River.So instead Li designed a series of channels built at different levels along Mount Yulei that would take away the floodwater while leaving the river flowing naturally.Better still,the extra water could be directed to the dry Chengdu Plain,making it suitable for farming.
Cutting the channels through the hard rock of Mount Yulei was a remarkable accomplishment as it was done long before the invention gunpowder and explosives.£1Bing found another solution.He used a combination of fire and water to heat and cool the rocks until they cracked and could be removed.After eight years of work,the 20-metre-wide canals had been carved through the mountain.
Once the system was finished,no more floods occurred and the people were able to live peacefully and affluently.Today,Dujiangyan is admired by scientists from around the world because of one feature.Unlike modem dams where the water is blocked with a huge wall,Dujiangyan still lets water flow through the Minjiang River naturally,enabling ecosystems and fish populations to exist in harmony.

24.What are the benefits of Dujiangyan according to the first paragraph?A
A.Reducing flooding and watering farmland.
B.Protecting the mountain and reducing flooding.
C.Watering farmland and improving water quality.
D.Drying the river and supplying cities with water.
25.What was the main cause of the Minjiang Rivers flooding?B
A.Heavy rains.B.Melting snow.
C.Low river banks.D.Steep mountains.
26.How was Li Bing able to break through the rocks of Mount Yulei?C
A.By using gunpowder.
B.By flooding the rocks with water.
C.By applying a heating and cooling technique.
D.By breaking the rocks with hammers and spades.
27.Why is Dujiangyan greatly admired by scientists today?A
A.It preserves much of the natural river life.
B.It took very little time to complete the project.
C.The building techniques used were very modem.
D.It has raised the living standards of the local people.
