Question

【題目】七選五（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. __【1】_

Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In the Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony. __【2】Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.

To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. _【3】__

The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. _【4】__ He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he attempted to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. __【5】_ At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

Now you can see that Indians didn’t need to learn each other’s language. They could talk to one another byspan> using signals or sign language.

A. This meant that there was danger.

B. He might use a blanket.

C. Different things mean different to them.

D. One way was by sign language ; the other way by signals.

E. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

F. But they still can make themselves understood.

G. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述印第安人傳遞信息的方式。除了他們自己的語言外從未學過其他語言，他們有兩種無需語言的方式。一種是手語，另一種是暗號。現(xiàn)在你知道印第安人不需要互相學習語言了。他們能夠互相交流通過手語或者暗號。

【1】D根據(jù)上句：他們有兩種無需語言的方式。可知下句表達的是：一種是手語，另一種是暗號。故選D。

【2】B根據(jù)上句：一個印第安人也許使用一匹矮種馬做暗號。根據(jù)空格后的一句：或者他使用煙，鏡子或者火箭。可知此處表達的意思是：他也許使用一條毯子。故選B。

【3】A根據(jù)上句：有時印第安人發(fā)出一個這樣的信號然后馬上離開躲起來�？芍�下句：這意味著有危險。故選A。

【4】E根據(jù)上句一個印第安人握著毯子的一角在手中，然后他開始在身前揮舞毯子從一邊到另一邊�？芍�下句：一個印第安人能用他的毯子發(fā)出多種不同信號。故選E。

【5】G根據(jù)上句：但是他也用鏡子傳送信息代碼。可知下句：當然，鏡子只有當陽光照射時才能被使用。故選G。

【名師點撥】

1. 根據(jù)上下文的語境來確定選項。一般在空格的上一句或下一句，也許是上、下句中會有暗示。比如第37小題根據(jù)上句：一個印第安人也許使用一匹矮種馬做暗號。根據(jù)空格后的一句：或者他使用煙，鏡子或者火箭�？芍�此處表達的意思是：他也許使用一條毯子。故選B。此處體現(xiàn)的是一種并列的關(guān)系。

2. 根據(jù)常識解題。比如第38小題，根據(jù)上句：有時印第安人發(fā)出一個這樣的信號然后馬上離開躲起來。根據(jù)常識可知：看到信號躲起來說明情況是危險的。可知下句：這意味著有危險。故選G。
