17.A yoga master made a shocking statement that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life.Lincoln delivered a proclamation setting up Thanksgiving as an American holiday in 1863.Research throws light on a possible Hindu (印度的)origin for the American celebration of Thanksgiving.
"The holiday of Thanksgiving has a Hindu origin,"says Richard Salva,author of a book on the reincarnation (轉(zhuǎn)世)of Abraham Lincoln entitled Soul Journey:From Lincoln to Lindbergh which is based on a statement by the great master of yoga,Paramhamsa Yogananda,who declared that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life,and that he was reborn as the famous pilot,Charles Lindbergh.
"During my search for signs of a past-life yoga practice,"SaIva said,"I noticed that President Lincoln repeatedly chose Thursdays as national days of prayer,fasting (禁食),and thanksgiving.This was interesting,because Thursday is considered a holy day-a day for prayer,fasting,and spiritual reflection-among Hindus,who call it‘guru day,."
"Lincoln also set aside time on Thursdays to grieve for his son,Willie,who died in Washington.Clearly,Hiursdays had a spiritual significance in Lincoln's mind."
In his book,Richard Salva presents more than 500connections between Lincoln9 lindergh,and the ancient spiritual science of yoga.The connections run through every aspect of the human condition and provide convincing evidence that Lincoln had had a Hindu past life.
More than one out of every five Americans today believes in reincarnation-yet few are aware of how past-life pattenis affect them.Soul Journey tries to fill this gap,by offering a substitute experience of reincarnation.Through clear and persuasive similarities between the lives of Lincoln and Lindbergh,the book discovers how the hidden laws of fate and
reincarnation impact the events of his or her daily life.It addresses other issues,such as the secret spiritual history of America's greatest president,including his past life as a Himalayan yogi; the hidden clues that reveal past lives; the greatness he achieved; and the spiritual principles behind the yoga postures that millions now practice.

63.Based on Richard Salva's view,C
A.Hindus started the holiday of Thanksgiving
B.the Americans copied Thanksgiving from Hindus
C.Thanksgiving had Hindus roots
D.Charles Lindbergh had been a Himalayan yogi
64.We can draw a conclusion from the passage thatA.
A.in India Thursday is a religious day
B.in India all the prayers are done on Thursday
C.Abraham Lincoln was once a famous pilot
D.Paramhamsa Yogananda once taught Lincoln yoga
65.It can be inferred from the last paragraph thatB.
A.the book discovers the laws of fate and reincarnation
B.yoga is closely connected with religion
C.the book gives a scientific description of Lincoln's spiritual life
D.Lincoln and Lindbergh must have influenced each other a lot
66.When it came to the comparison between Lincoln and Lindbergh,the author held aDattitude.
A.neutral   B.doubtful   C.negative   D.positive.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了一種新的說法,林肯的前世是印度瑜伽師,并給出了一些理由.

解答 63.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題:從第二段的句子:"The holiday of Thanksgiving has a Hindu origin,"says Richard Salva,可知在Richard Salva看來感恩節(jié)起源于印度.故選C.
64.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題:從第三段的句子:This was interesting,because Thursday is considered a holy day-a day for prayer,fasting,and spiritual reflection-among Hindus,who call it"guru day".可知在印度星期四是個宗教節(jié)日.故選A.
65.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一段"reincarnation impact the events of his or her daily life.It addresses other issues,such as the secret spiritual history of America's greatest president,including his past life as a Himalayan yogi"可知瑜伽與宗教密切相關(guān);故選B.
66.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題:從第五段的句子:In his book,Richard Salva presents more than 500 connections between Lincoln,Lindergh,and the ancient spiritual science of yoga.The connections run through every aspect of the human condition and provide convincing evidence that Lincoln had had a Hindu past life.可知Lincoln和Lindbergh的比較作者是積極的態(tài)度.故選D.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

Dear editor,
I'm writing to tell you a problem that troubled me for a long time.It is the relationship among my mother and me.I'm a student and Mother is an university teacher,who is too busy with her work that she has little time to talk to me.I love her and I do well in my studies,but I still felt afraid of her because she is much too strict with me.I don't know why to communicate with her.Maybe it's because of we've seldom sat down and exchanged our feelings and thoughts.I hope we can know much about each other and understand each other better.What can we do?
Looking forward to hear from you.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,

5.Security Services advise that there have been robberies reported in the East Oxford area,carried out by a group and involving threats of and showing of a knife.The victims have all been young males of student age and appearance who have been walking alone between 7 pm and the early hours of the morning.Some of the victims have been followed from the O2 and the Regal Hotel.
The Crime Prevention Advisor offers the following advice:
●If possible walk home in a group,not on your own.If someone tries to take something from you by force,it may be best to give it to them,this way it will avoid you getting injured.
●If someone tries to follow you,make for a public place,such as a shop or a restaurant or walk towards other people.Make lots of noise and use your personal alarm to shock the person and use this opportunity to make your escape.If you need to use your mobile phone on route go into a shop or stand with your back to a shop window and constantly survey the area around you.Keep the conversation short and to the point and try not to be too obvious doing it.
●Walk with confidence and look as though you're on a mission.Keep your head up and while you should look ahead to avoid unnecessary conflicts,such as a group of young men a-head of you,you should also be aware of everything around you.Whenever possible use well lit and busy streets and definitely avoid alleyways,wasteland and other quiet short cuts.
If you have any information relating to these crimes,please call Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111 or call Thames Valley Police on 101 for non-emergency reporting.
