【題目】At one time, the Iroquois Indians lived along the lakes and rivers of the northern part of New York.The five tribes (部落) — the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, and Seneca — fought with each other for years.

In the late 1500s, a wise Iroquois man named Dekanawida had a dream.In his dream, he saw the end of the Indian wars.An Onondaga chief named Hiawatha agreed to help Dekanawida bring peace to the area.Hiawatha traveled from tribe to tribe, trying to persuade the tribal leaders to unite in peace.The leaders realized that if they stopped fighting, they could become a powerful force in the Northeast area.

The leaders of the five tribes set up a league, called the Iroquois League, which brought all five tribes together.They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.A Great Council was formed.Fortynine chiefs from every tribe were appointed to the Council.The members were all men, but they were chosen by the elder women of the tribes.The Council worked together to solve big issues for the league, while each tribe remained selfgoverning.

In 1722, the Iroquois League increased from five to six tribes when the Tuscarora tribe joined them.The Iroquois League controlled the fur trade in the area.They controlled land from Canada to Kentucky.The Iroquois League remained powerful for over 200 years.

Then during the War of Independence, most of the Iroquois League sided with the British.After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed.The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地)．This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.

History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.One section of the Iroquois Constitution is entitled “Rights of the People” and might be compared to the “Bill of Rights”．The Iroquois League’s constitution is often called America’s first democracy.

【1】The underlined word “voice” in Paragraph 3 could probably be replaced by“________”．

A. sound B. power

C. saying D. speech

【2】According to the text, the Iroquois League ________.

A. consisted of six tribes in the 17th century

B. became weak after the War of Independence

C. helped the Americans defeat the British

D. was greatly supported by the Americans

【3】The political system of the Iroquois League ________.

A. was ignored by American history experts

B. had nothing to do with the “Bill of Rights”

C. influenced the United States Constitution

D. was entitled “Rights of the People”

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. The Iroquois League

B. The American Indians

C. The culture of the Iroquois

D. The United States Constitution

【答案】

【1】B

【2】B

【3】C

【4】A

【解析】

本文是一篇?dú)v史知識的記敘文，北美洲土著部落形成的部落聯(lián)盟the Iroquois League團(tuán)結(jié)了原本分裂的各個部落形成了一個強(qiáng)大的聯(lián)盟，主宰了北美大陸的大片土地。聯(lián)盟的構(gòu)建體系對美國的憲法產(chǎn)生了一定的影響。

【1】猜測詞意題。根據(jù)本句“They set up a kind of democratic (民主的) government in which each tribe had an equal voice.”中“democratic”可知他們建立的是一個民主政府，所有的政府成員都有平等的權(quán)力。該詞意為“power”，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第五段后三句“After the Americans defeated the British, many Iroquois villages were destroyed. The Iroquois were forced to move and live on reservations (印第安人居留地)．This caused the Iroquois League to become less powerful.”可知在美國獨(dú)立戰(zhàn)爭以后，英國人被打敗了，很多“the Iroquois League”的村子被毀掉，族人被趕走，the Iroquois League

的權(quán)力被大大削弱了。故B項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段第一句“History shows that the writers of the United States Constitution used some of the same ideas as the Iroquois League.”可知美國的憲法也借鑒了the Iroquois League聯(lián)盟中一些類似的做法。說明美國的憲法也受到the Iroquois League的影響。故C項(xiàng)正確。

【4】主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了北美洲土著部落形成的部落聯(lián)盟the Iroquois League團(tuán)結(jié)了原本分裂的各個部落形成了一個強(qiáng)大的聯(lián)盟，主宰了北美大陸的大片土地。聯(lián)盟的構(gòu)建體系對美國的憲法產(chǎn)生了一定的影響。故A項(xiàng)符合文章的中心思想。BCD三項(xiàng)都只涉及文章部分內(nèi)容。

本文小題4考查了主旨大意題中的標(biāo)題，A項(xiàng)是文章的中心思想，BCD三項(xiàng)都只涉及文章部分內(nèi)容，把包括的范圍縮小了。英語的閱讀文章為了表達(dá)的準(zhǔn)確、嚴(yán)密，很注意對范圍的限定，有時通過加上almost all，nearly，more than，normally，usually等詞對文意加以限制，“擴(kuò)縮范圍”干擾法就是通過改變或去掉限制性詞語，將信息中的范圍、程度、色彩等改變，從而導(dǎo)致錯誤。

例：More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been slow. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday. This became known as“dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Antony Jones.

Q：According to the passage, which of the following is True?

A. Company workers started to dress down about 30 years ago.

B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.

C.“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.

D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.

『個案解析』：此題中的選項(xiàng)B就是屬于擴(kuò)大了范圍。原文提到雇主允許雇員在Friday穿著較為隨便的衣服，而不是every day，此題的正確答案為D。

【題目】One day Kavya and I were playing tennis and the ball went into a man’s house. Then we went to his house and asked if he could give us our ball. He said, “No”. We felt helpless. But suddenly we came up with an idea. There was a water tank (水箱) behind the man’s house. I told Kavya, “We can climb onto the water tank and jump over the gate.” Kavya agreed, but we were both wearing skirts. We couldn’t climb in those. “We can get it back tomorrow，” said Kavya.

The next day we went there with Kavya’s brother Vijay. He said, “Shout loudly if you need me.” Kavya climbed onto the water tank first and then she climbed down into the man’s house. I followed her. We were looking under a bed for the ball when we heard a noise. It was Vijay. “Mother is calling you，” he said in a low voice.

We hurried out taking the lost ball with us. Along with the ball was a surprise! But we had to leave the house quickly. When we reached Kavya’s house, the TV was on. It was news time. I couldn’t believe my ears when it said that 20 gold bars were stolen from a gold shop. They showed a picture of the gold bars, which were exactly like the one we had seen in the man’s house.

We told the story to Kavya’s mother right away, and she called the police. Soon the police caught the man. They found all the gold bars in his house. A few days later a policeman came to us and said, “Thank you for helping us catch the guy. Here is a bag for all of you.” When we opened it, it was full of storybooks and lovely toys.

【題目】 It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. 【1】 “Do you need a second helping of pudding?"a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 【2】 .He had no preparation for it.

【3】But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery（餐具）and proper glasses.

The restaurant is the latest initiative（初步行動）from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 【4】 “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Angel. “ 【5】People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."

A.By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar.

B.So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?

C.They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.

D.It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.

E.The homeless are treated with respect at the restaurant.

F.Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma.

G.Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.
