4.One of the most famous travelers in history was Marco Polo.At the age of 17,he left Italy with his father and uncle.It took them more than three years to cross the mountains of Asia.In the year of 1275,they reached China.They stayed in China for almost 20years and went to many places.They were very surprised at what they saw.China was a country far more advanced than Italy or any other country in Europe.
After he returned to Italy,Marco Polo told many of his stories to a friend.His book,Descriptions of the World,became the most popular book in Europe.People found it difficult to believe his stories of people,animals,places and things.They were so different from Europe at that time.These are a few of Marco Polo's descriptions.
In one area of China,there were black stones.People dug them out of the mountains,They burned very slowly.People used them to cook and keep their homes warm.
The Chinese people were also very clean.In every town,there were many public baths.Everyone bathed at least three times a week.Rich families built baths in their homes and bathed every day.China was one of the first countries to use paper money.
On one of his trips in the south of China,Marco Polo saw a strange animal which lived along the rivers.It looked like a large piece of wood and was more than ten feet long.In the front,it had two small legs.Its eyes were very large.Its mouth was big enough to eat a man and its teeth were long.
Most people believed Marco Polo's stories.But others told him that they did not believe his descriptions.He answered that he did not tell half of what he saw in his book.

分析 在歷史上最著名的旅行家之一便是馬可波羅.在他17歲的時(shí)候,他和他的父親和叔叔離開了意大利,他們花了超過(guò)三年的時(shí)間穿越亞洲的群山.在1275年他們來(lái)到了中國(guó),他們?cè)谥袊?guó)待了近20年而且去了很多地方.他們對(duì)他們所看到的事物感到非常驚訝.中國(guó)是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比意大利或歐洲的任何其他國(guó)家都更先進(jìn)的國(guó)家.當(dāng)他返回意大利之后,馬可波羅把他的許多故事寫成了一本書即他的書--《馬可波羅行記》,成為歐洲最受歡迎的書.人們很難相信他書中故事里的人、動(dòng)物、地方和事物.因?yàn)檫@些事物和當(dāng)時(shí)歐洲的事物是那么的不同,但這些只是馬可波羅描寫他見(jiàn)過(guò)的事物的一小部分.在中國(guó)的一個(gè)地區(qū),那里有黑色的石頭,人們把它們從山里挖出來(lái),他們?nèi)紵暮苈藗冇盟鼈儊?lái)做飯而且讓房間里更暖和.中國(guó)人也很講究衛(wèi)生干凈.在每一個(gè)城鎮(zhèn)都有許多公共浴池.每個(gè)人每周至少洗三次澡.富裕家庭在自己家里建一個(gè)洗澡堂而且每天都洗澡.中國(guó)是使用紙幣最早的國(guó)家之一.在中國(guó)南方的一次旅行中,馬可波羅看到了一個(gè)奇怪的動(dòng)物,它生活在河流附近.它看起來(lái)像一大塊木頭,而且身體超過(guò)十英尺長(zhǎng).在它的前面有兩條短的腿,它的眼睛非常大,嘴大得足以吃人,而且它的牙齒很長(zhǎng).大多數(shù)人相信馬可波羅的故事,但其他人告訴他,他們不相信他的描述,他回答說(shuō),在他的書里所描述的事物都不及他所見(jiàn)的事物的一半.

解答 53.D 細(xì)節(jié)型題目 從文中At the age of 17,he left Italy with his father and uncle在他17歲的時(shí)候,他和他的父親和叔叔離開了意大利,They stayed in China for almost 20years 他們?cè)谥袊?guó)待了近20年,可知他回意大利的時(shí)候是17+20=37歲,所以幾乎40歲了,可知答案是D.
54.B 細(xì)節(jié)型題目 從文中They were very surprised at what they saw.China was a country far more advanced than Italy or any other country in Europe.
After he returned to Italy,Marco Polo told many of his stories to a friend.His book,Descriptions of the World他們對(duì)他們所看到的事物感到非常驚訝.中國(guó)是一個(gè)遠(yuǎn)比意大利或歐洲的任何其他國(guó)家都更先進(jìn)的國(guó)家.當(dāng)他返回意大利之后,馬可波羅把他的許多故事寫成了一本書即他的書--《馬可波羅行記》,可知是因?yàn)樗麜锼枋龅暮彤?dāng)時(shí)歐洲的很不一樣,所以人們有興趣想了解下,所以他的書開始流行起來(lái),所以答案是B.
55.C 細(xì)節(jié)型題目 從文中Marco Polo saw a strange animal which lived along the rivers.It looked like a large piece of wood and was more than ten feet long.In the front,it had two small legs.Its eyes were very large.Its mouth was big enough to eat a man and its teeth were long.馬可波羅看到了一個(gè)奇怪的動(dòng)物,它生活在河流附近.它看起來(lái)像一大塊木頭,而且身體超過(guò)十英尺長(zhǎng).在它的前面有兩條短的腿,它的眼睛非常大,嘴大得足以吃人,而且它的牙齒很長(zhǎng),可知答案是C.
56.D 細(xì)節(jié)型題目 從文中Marco Polo saw a strange animal which lived along the rivers馬可波羅看到了一個(gè)奇怪的動(dòng)物,Most people believed Marco Polo's stories.But others told him that they did not believe his descriptions大多數(shù)人相信馬可波羅的故事,但其他人告訴他,他們不相信他的描述,這個(gè)動(dòng)物馬可波羅都感到很奇怪,而且人們還不相信馬可波羅的描述,由此可知當(dāng)時(shí)的人們沒(méi)有見(jiàn)過(guò)馬可波羅所描述的動(dòng)物,選項(xiàng)D與原文不符,所以本題答案是D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 這篇文章不是很難,多細(xì)節(jié)型題目,考生需細(xì)心.

If you were asked what your body is made of, probably you would say that it is made of flesh(肉體) and bones and covered with skin. You also know something about the blood which flows through it, and that there is a very important part which we call the brain.

But the flesh and the bones make up the largest part of the body, and there is a good deal to be learned about them. You know the general appearance of both flesh and bone from the parts of animals which you see in the butcher’s shop.

Bone is hard, and of a white color; indeed, it looks more like a piece of wood or stone than a part of a living animal. But bone is a real part of the living body, and it grows and is nourished (滋養(yǎng))just as the body is. If a man breaks the bone of his arm or his leg, it is firmly bound up, to prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places, and in time then bone grows together again and becomes quite strong.

The bones are fastened together by various kinds of joints(關(guān)節(jié)). They form the framework of the body, and give it strength to retain its proper shape. This framework is called the skeleton(骨架). Some animals, such as worms and slugs, have no skeleton; and others, such as shellfish, have a kind of hard covering or skeleton outside.

The most important part of the skeleton is the backbone. It is so important that naturalists divide all animals into two classes,--- those which have a backbone and those which have none. All the higher animals, including man, have a backbone, or vertebral column as it is called. They are therefore called vertebrate (脊椎的)animals. The others are called invertebrate animals.

1.What’s our body made of?

A. Flesh

B. Flesh and bones.

C. Flesh, bones and flood.

D. Flesh, bones, flood and brain.

2.Where can we see flesh and bones from the parts of animals?

A. In the bookshop. B In the butchers’ shop.

C. At home. D. In the shopping mall

3.Why should the bones bound up firmly if they were broken?

A.To make the bones strong

B. To protect our arms and legs

C. To fasten the joints.

D. To prevent the broken parts from moving out of the proper places.

4. From the passage, we know higher animals are called .

A. backbone B. human beings

C. vertebrate animals D. skeleton

Besides this,I often read English stories,jokes and easy novels.From these I know English is not only interesting,but also useful.They help me understand a lot of things.So to do more reading is an important way to learn English well.
And I also do some exercises from our class magazines,and I often write English diaries.English has become a close friend of mine.
Now I have learned English for more than two years.I always keep the first position in our school.From these words,I hope every student can learn English well.
