  Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指).The expression comes from the early 20 th century.A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.The Green Revolution(綠色革命)is t he name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains.It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
  Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling.Jealousy(嫉妒).The green eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space.It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play"Othello".It describes the unpleasantfeeling when someone has something he wants.

分析 綠色是一種自然界重要的顏色.它是草和樹葉的顏色.它也是大部分生長的植物的顏色.
   有時單詞"green"意味著年輕,新鮮和成長中.例如,"greenborn"是指沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人,在15世紀(jì),"greenborn"是指小母;蛘呓巧形撮L出來的公牛.一個世紀(jì)以后,"greenborn"是指尚未有任何作戰(zhàn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的士兵.到了18世紀(jì),"greenborn"就有了今天的意思,它是指新手.
   擅長讓植物長勢良好的人據(jù)說有綠色拇指,這種表達(dá)來源于20世紀(jì)早期.園藝好手能夠讓植物長得又快又好."綠色革命"是指若干年前新型大米和谷物的大發(fā)展,它是擅長種植的農(nóng)業(yè)科學(xué)家辛勤工作的結(jié)果.
   綠色還用來描述強(qiáng)烈的情感和妒忌,"The green eyed monster"不是指來自外太空的可怕生物,它是大約400年前英國作家莎士比亞在其劇本《奧賽羅》中用到的一種表達(dá).它描述了一個人當(dāng)別人有他想要的東西時的不愉快的感覺.
   在世界的大部分地方,綠燈是前進(jìn)的信號.在日常用語中,綠燈是指項目被批準(zhǔn)繼續(xù)進(jìn)行.

解答 51.B 這是一個細(xì)節(jié)推斷題.根據(jù)原文"A century later,a greenborn was a soldier who had no expericnce in war."一個世紀(jì)后"greenborn"是指尚未有任何作戰(zhàn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)的士兵.抓住"A century later"這一關(guān)鍵信息,前一個句子說15世紀(jì),所以一個世紀(jì)后就應(yīng)該是十六世紀(jì),故選B.
52.A  根據(jù)原文"Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指)."擅長讓植物長勢良好的人據(jù)說有綠色拇指,可以得知此題應(yīng)選A.
53.D  這是一個理解句意的題目.要理解好"It describes the unpleasantfeeling when someone has something he wants."這句話,它的意思是"它描述了一個人當(dāng)別人有他想要的東西時的不愉快的感覺."再結(jié)合選項,看看哪種情況是屬于這種情緒,把不恰當(dāng)?shù)倪x項排除掉,就可以得到正確的答案D,"his friend gets a prize that he wants 他的朋友得到了他想要的獎金".
54.D 這是一個反向判斷題,要求選出一個文章中沒有涉及到的關(guān)于綠色的表達(dá).在了解文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上,很容易就會判斷出只有D"a green light"(綠光)文章沒有出現(xiàn)過,其他選項在文章中都能找到.故選擇答案D.
55.D 這是一個歸納全文的題目,綜合全文內(nèi)容,看哪一個選項最貼合文章的中心內(nèi)容就選哪個做文章的題目,切忌片面,從而排除掉干擾項,選出正確答案D"Different meanings of"green"-綠色的不同意義

點(diǎn)評 這篇文章的題目出的很好,很全面.不論從細(xì)節(jié)上還是對句子和中心的理解上都有涉及.做題時前提是把文章的大意讀懂,然后再根據(jù)不同的題目采用不同的方法做題,像51和52題比較簡單,直接找到相關(guān)的句子就能做出;53和54題涉及到對關(guān)鍵詞和句子的理解,要把涉及到的詞和句子理解透徹,還要細(xì)心,看是叫選正確的還是錯誤的;55題是對文章整體內(nèi)容的把握,還是考察對文章大意的理解,所以做好閱讀理解的前提還是讀懂文章,這是最重要的.
