科目:高中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

A vuvuzela is a horn,about a meter long,usually made of a colourful cheap plastic.________ When it's blown by thousands of supporters at the same time,it's loud,very loud. It sounds a bit like an air horn and you can hear it a lot during the 2010 World Cup.

 The vuvuzela was originally made from a kudu horn and was traditionally used to summon people to gatherings. But the horn you see at soccer matches in South Africa today originated from a tin horn that became popular with South African soccer fans around 15 years ago. A sports company began to mass-produce a plastic version in the South Africa colours,and this is what you see (and hear)at every soccer match. Now it's become an official symbol of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and more popular around the world.

 The vuvuzela will be ubiquitous during the 2010 World Cup. There was a call for FIFA to ban the vuvizela during the Confederations Cup that took place in South Africa in June 2009,European journalists got into a tizzy(緊張)about the noise. The Guardian reported: “It sounds like extremely terrible.” But FIFA stood its ground,as Mr. Blatter,F(xiàn)IFA's president says “Vuvuzelas,drums and singing are part of Africa football culture. It is part of their celebration,it is part of their culture,so let them blow the vuvuzelas.”

Adam Carnegie,a graphic artist from Cape Town,founded the Kelp Environmental Learning Project. The project employs local men and women to collect kelp,dry it and then hand paint colourful designs on it. The mission is simple. “We want to create jobs,make a noise,make people laugh,remind people to be in the moment.”

Like most trumpets,getting any noise from a vuvuzela requires significant pursing of the lips and the ability to blow with force. Your cheeks will be zinging afterward. You can personalize your vuvuzela blowing, with a lot of practice,but generally it produces one big sound.

6. Which of the following sentences can be used to fill in the blank in the first paragraph?

A. It was chosen by FIFA as the unique musical instrument.

B. It has been used at soccer matches for thousands of years.

C. It is the choice of noise-maker for South African football fans.

D. It is a traditional instrument South African soccer fans use to celebrate victory.

7. The vuvuzela ________.

A. is usually made of metal

B. has a length of two and a half feet

C. was first used in a local sports game

D. is one of the official symbols of the 2010 World Cup

8. The underlined word “ubiquitous” in the 3rd paragraph probably means “________”.

A. banned               B. heard everywhere

C. extremely expensive     D. strictly limited

9. Why did FIFA stand its ground on the issue of the vuvuzela? 

A. Because the vuvuzela is typical of African football culture. 

B. Because it is the host country's right to make their choice. 

C. Because the vuvuzela will make the 2010 World Cup special. 

D. Because more member countries support the use of the vuvuzela.

10. What can we learn from the passage?

A. It requires effort to get noise from vuvuzela.

B. Vuvuzela will be banned after the 2010 World Cup because it is too noisy. 

C. The Kelp Environmental Learning Project employs many people to sell vuvuzela. 

D. Vuvuzela is too noisy for both the players and the audience.

科目:高中英語 來源:江蘇省09-10學(xué)年高二下學(xué)期期中考試(英語) 題型:閱讀理解

Children are being indirectly affectly by the impact of the recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) on their parents, the Children’s society warns.

The chief executive of the Children’s Society, Bob Reitemeier, said that children were “on the front of recession”. He said the recession made it even more important to try to end child poverty.

The answers suggest children from poorer backgrounds are more likely to be affected, but over a third of children across all backgrounds said they were aware that the recession was worrying their parents.

Fifteen-year-old Patricia said her family felt the impact of the recession on their everyday budget(預(yù)算). “We have to save up our money and do not spend it so much on unnecessary things,”she said.

Those questioned appeared to have great awareness of the economic crisis, which, unsurprisingly, was higher among the older children. But around 15% said they hadn’t been affected by it.

Recent figures showed that in 2007 there were 850,000 young people with no particular occupation. An official from the government said it was so “disappointing” that some young people were concerned about the economy.

Parents are clearly best placed to talk to their children about their worries, but schools also play an important role in teaching young people the skills they need to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.

(    )68.Which of the following is true?

A. It is more important to try to end child poverty in the recession.

B.Children from poorer areas are less likely to be affected.

C.All the children questioned are worried about the economy.

D.That some young people are worrying about the economy is “good news”.

(    )69.What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 5?

A. The poorer background.   B.The impact of the recession. 

C. Everyday budget.        D.The government.

(    )70.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Many children are concerned about the recession.

B.Children are being directly affected by the recession.

C.The recession affected children indirectly.

D. Schools play an important role in teaching young people how to become healthy, happy and confident individuals.
