　　閱讀理解精講精煉02

　　For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to

　　remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three

　　notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I'd bought in a market in

　　Mozambique.

　　Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.

　　As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we

　　hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving

　　next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

　　I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.

　　They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

　　"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up?"

　　"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."

　　"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"

　　"You were the one who was sleeping!"

　　'Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."

　　We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

　　1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers________

　　A. made friends with local residents

　　B. complained about the poor living conditions

　　C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most

　　D. recorded their experiences in different ways

　　2. What does the phrase "heroic forms" in Paragraph 4 refer to?

　　A. Racing cars.

　　B. Wild horses.

　　C. Eye-catching locals.

　　D. Running dogs.

　　3. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?

　　A. He always missed out on the best thing.

　　B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.

　　C. A sound sleep was more important.

　　D. The next trip would be better.

　　4. What is 'the passage mainly about?

　　A. How to view wildlife in Africa.

　　B. Running into wildlife in Africa.

　　C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.

　　D. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.

　　1.D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words.可知D正確。

　　2.B考查猜測詞義。根據(jù)句意內(nèi)容應(yīng)該指追汽車的野馬。

　　3.A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)The best photos are the ones we never take.可知A正確。

　　4.B考查主旨要義。文章主要敘述了我們在晚上被一群野馬追逐的景觀，所以文章的大意是Running into wildlife in Africa.。

　　When Boris left school，he could not find a job．He tried hard and pestered(糾纏)his relatives，but they had problems of their Own。He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardened．Still he went on trying and still he failed．He began to think that he had no future at all.

　　“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him．“The world is a

　　money-locker。You’d better find a way of opening it.”

　　“But what can I do?”

　　“Get out and have a look round,” advised his uncle in a vague sort of way．“See what people want；then give it to them，and they will pay for it.”

　　Boris

　　began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer．He worked hard，made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit．A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself．He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障礙). But at long last，he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.

　　Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motor-cycles．Slowly

　　but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last，Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold Coins inside．

　　5. We can infer from the last paragraph that Boris

　　A. still couldn’t make good profits

　　D. had great difficulty running his business

　　【答案與解析】主人公Boris畢業(yè)后，在尋找工作的過程中屢屢受挫，失望之至，在叔叔的建議下，從修理自行車開始，逐漸走向了成功。

　　1.B 標(biāo)題判斷題。縱觀全文可以看出，文章通過主人公求職屢遭拒絕，最后經(jīng)過調(diào)整思路賺得第一桶金，然后把自己的生意越做做大，從而打開了世界這把鎖錢的鎖的故事，由此可知，B項最能概括全文。

　　2. D 推理判斷題。第一段中描述了Boris求職接連失敗的感受：Boris grew annoyed，then depressed，then a little hardened．，因此，四個選項中只有disappointing【失望的），符合語境。

　　3. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段的“Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer．”可知答案。

　　4. D 推理判斷題。由倒數(shù)第二段的“But at long last，he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.”可以看出，那里顧客較多、沒有競爭，也就是說那里機會好，所以選D。

　　5. B 推理判斷題。最后一段前半部分告訴我們他的生意越來越大，利潤越來越客觀，最后一句對此作了總結(jié)，由此可以看出，他的事業(yè)取得了成功。

　　Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression．Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．

　　A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog．The dog bit all four or Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital．Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected(感染).

　　At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep．But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew t hat Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.

　　Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!

　　After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt．But she leaves her m ark in other ways, too.

　　Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg. Molly made them smile and gave them hope. Soon, Molly began to visit schools, nursing homes, army bases and hospitals. A book was even written about Molly!

　　4．Which is the best title for the passage?

　　A．A Book on Molly

　　B．A False Leg

　　C．A successful Operation D．Leaving her Mark

　　【答案與解析】文章介紹了一個名叫Molly的小型馬在很小的時候不幸受傷，依靠安裝假肢頑強生活下去的故事，給了那些在逆境中的人們以極大的精神鼓舞，引導(dǎo)人們在逆境中保持樂觀，看到希望。

　　1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第三段的“Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg”可以看出：醫(yī)生在Molly腿的底部安裝了一個特殊的馬蹄鐵，可知Molly是一匹馬。

　　2. C 細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由第三段的“At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep”可以看出：起初，醫(yī)生認(rèn)為Molly會毫無疑問的被以人道方法結(jié)束生命。由此可以看出：Ｃ項“In the beginning, doctors had planned to end Molly’s life.”正確。注意選項所說的“end Molly’s life”對應(yīng)原文的“Molly would have to be put to sleep”。

　　3.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第一段的“Molly has a false leg with a horseshoe shaped like a smiling face.”(Molly裝有一個鑲有笑臉形狀馬蹄鐵的假肢）這是因傷致殘Molly和他的同類相比特有的東西。故選Ａ。

　　4. D標(biāo)題判斷題。縱觀全文可以看出，文章開篇點題，也就是說，第一句話“Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark”就是文章的主題句。下文對此進(jìn)行了進(jìn)一步的闡述： Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．然后詳細(xì)解釋了這個假肢的由來，故Ｄ項最能概括全文。其他各項都是文章的細(xì)節(jié)，不能概括全文。

　　Now in a world piled high with smartphones，tablets and e-readers，technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable. Taking classes can be fun too. A11 you have to do is swipe your fingers on your phone screen and download same Apps, which can make your study more fun and efficient. Balancing study and play in a college setting has never been easy----and with the following few apps, it'll be tough to tell the two apart.

　　Evernote

　　Use: note-taking

　　Can be used on：Phone/iPad/iPod touch，Android，BlackBerry，PalmOS and Windows Phone 7

　　Price：free

　　It's hard to imagine that with all the magical gadgets, the eager, studious types would still take out a notepad，pencil，and highlighter-and take notes in class. While it's not an actual planner or calendar App，if you take notes to stay organized，then Evemote is for you. The main thing about Evernate is that all of your notes are automatically sent into the cloud(云儲存平臺上)---and then you can access them from any web-connected computer via the Evemote App or a web browser. Evernote also support audio and photo notes-rather handy if you want to record your lecture or take photos of any projected notes.

　　But，of course, ask for permission first.

　　Wikpanion

　　Use：research database

　　Can be used on：iPhone/Pad/iPod touch

　　Price：free（Wikipanion Plus for＄4, 99，or 31．87 yuan)

　　Now，you don't necessarily have to go to a library or anywhere with computer services to do research work for your paper anymore.

　　You can get access to the research databases just on your smartphone or tablet. Wkipanion gives you a simplified version of Wikipeda without leaving out any of the site's extra features. The normal links that you'd see to each section of an article xre no longer on the main screen. Instead，there's a small icon located at the bottom of the app，which can be used to access all the sections of an article.

　　You can also open the links in Safari(蘋果)Safari(瀏覽器)．According to the developers' site, loading Wikipedia pages with Wikpanion is a lot faster than accessing the Wikipedia site from the iPhone's browses. To be honest，we agree.
