8.When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata,I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn (喇叭),It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw,He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school.For many people,the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages.When the traffic is bad,rickshaws find a way through the traffic.If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis,you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata.Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you.Then he loads (裝載)all your things,drops you off outside your home and helps you unload,No other type of public transport offers this kind of service.
From June to September,Kolkata gets heavy rain.Sometimes it rains for 48hours without a break.In some parts of the city,the roads flood (水淹),and anything with an engine(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) is useless,But the rickshaw drivers never stop working,even with water all around them.
But not everyone thinks rickshaws are a good thing.The local government want to ban rickshaws.They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transport in the city.However,there is a problem with this plan.Many of the rickshaw drivers come from the countryside.The only job they can find in Kolkata is pulling a rickshaw,If the city bans rickshaws,these men won't have a job.So for the moment,the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.

77.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?D
A.The rickshaw drivers carry things for local people in Kolkata.
B.Parents need rickshaws for taking children to school in Kolkata.
C.Rickshaws can find a way through the bad traffic in Kolkata.
D.Rickshaws are very useful for the people's daily life in Kolkata.
78.Which type of transport may you take when the roads flood in Kolkata?D
A.A bus.       
B.A taxi.
C.A car.       
D.A rickshaw.
79.What does the underlined word"ban"mean?C
A.make         
B.increase     
C.forbid        
D.collect
80.What can we learn from the passage?B
A.The rickshaws in Kolkata have loud horns.
B.The rickshaw is still a part of public transport in Kolkata.
C.The local government offer many other jobs to the rickshaw driven.
D.The people in Kolkata are supposed to take rickshaws instead of cars.

分析 這篇短文主要介紹了在印度城市加爾各答流行的一種運(yùn)輸方式,黃包車.短文詳細(xì)的描述了這種運(yùn)輸方式的好處以及它的社會(huì)影響.

解答 77 D 歸納理解題:根據(jù)第一段For many people,the rickshaw in Kolkata hasmany advantages對(duì)許多人來說,加爾各答的黃包車有很多優(yōu)點(diǎn).第一段具體介紹了它的好處,歸納起來,答案是D,即加爾各答的黃包車在人們?nèi)粘I钪械挠猛荆?br />78 D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題:根據(jù)第二段In some parts of the city,the roads flood (水淹),and anything with an engine(發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)) is useless,But the rickshaw drivers never stop working,even with water all around them在部分城市,道路被洪水淹沒,任何一個(gè)發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)是無用的,但人力車夫從不停止工作,甚至在他們周圍到處都是水.故答案是D.
79 C 詞義理解題:根據(jù)最后一段后文They believe it is wrong for one man to pull another person when there is modern transportin the city他們認(rèn)為這是不對(duì)的,即在現(xiàn)代化的城市交通中一個(gè)人去拉另一個(gè)人.結(jié)合選項(xiàng),推測(cè)ban的意思是"禁止",故答案是C(禁止).
80 B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題:根據(jù)最后一段So for the moment,the people of Kolkata still go by rickshaw.描述,可知黃包車仍舊是加爾各答公共交通的一部分,故選B.

17.Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist,who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States.Born on June 27,1880 in Tuscumbia,a small town in Alabama,Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf,and blind.The illness Keller suffered (遭受) is a mystery to this day.Unable to see,or hear,Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends.
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other.Helen's mother needed help for her anguished (痛苦的) child,which eventually led to Anne Sullivan,who was a recent graduate (畢業(yè)生) of the Perkins Institute for the Blind.The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students,and Sullivan was one of its star graduates.Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings,their friendship,and association (合作) lasted for 49 years.
Keller was determined to become educated,and to teach herself to communicate.After attending several schools,she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree.She became very well-known,and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues,including women's suffrage (選舉權(quán)),and birth control.Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind.She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind.
On September 14,1964,President Lyndon B.Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom,one of the United States'two highest civilian honours.In 1999,Keller was listed in Gallup's Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century.
