Question

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框A~F選項中選出能概括每段主題的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該選項涂黑。選項中有一項為多余項。

A．How do we get the names for the days? B．The origin of division of the times. C．How did men invent the week? D．The Jews names the seven days. E．How did the Egyptians and the Romans name the days? F．Reason for no names of the days.

1._____________
Do you know how the days of the week get their names? There was a time in the early history of man when the days had no names! The reason was quite simple：men had not invented the week.
2. _____________
In those days, the only division of times was the month, and there were too many days in the month for each of them to have a separate name. But when men began to build cities, they wanted to have a special day on which to trade, a market day. Sometimes these market days were fixed at every tenth day, sometimes every seventh or every fifth day. The Babylonians decided that it should be every seventh day. On this day they didn't work, but met for trade and religious festivals.
3. _____________
The Jews followed their example, but kept every seventh day for religious purposes. In this way the week came into existence. It was the space between market days. The Jews gave each of the seven days a name, but it was really a number after the Sabbath day(which was Saturday). For example, Wednesday was called the fourth day (four days after Saturday)．
4. _____________
When the Egyptians adopted the seven­day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun, and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names of their days of the week: the day of the sun, of the moon, of the planet Mars(火星), of Mercury(水星), of Jupiter(木星), of Venus(金星), and of Saturn(土星)．
5. _____________
We get our names for the days not from the Romans but from the Anglo­Saxons, who called most of the days after their own gods, which were roughly the same as the gods of the Romans. The day of the sun became Sunnandaeg, or Sunday. The day of the moon was called Monandaeg, or Monday. The day of the Mars became the day of Tiw, who was their god of war. This became Tiwesday, or Tuesday. Instead of Mercury's name, that of the god Woden was given to Wednesday. The Roman day of Jupiter, the thunderer, became the day of the thunder god Thor, and this became Thursday. The next day was named for Frigg, the wife of their god Odin, and so we have Friday. The day of Saturn became Saeterndaeg, a translation from the Roman, the Saturday.

小題5:A

試題分析：本文敘述了人們的星期的命名的來歷，最初時沒有周，只有月，由于生活中的需要慢慢地產(chǎn)生了周這個想法，然后文中介紹了給星期命名的不同的名字的來歷，最后確定用盎格魯-撒克遜人­的命名方式。
小題1:根據(jù)The reason was quite simple：men had not invented the week.星期沒有名字的原因，故選F。
小題2:根據(jù)In those days, the only division of times was the month，故選B。
小題3:根據(jù)The Jews gave each of the seven days a name,猶太人給星期命了名字，故選D。
小題4:根據(jù)the Egyptians adopted the seven­day week, they named the days after five planets, the sun, and the moon. The Romans used the Egyptian names of their days of the week:埃及人和羅馬人是如何給星期命名的?故選E。
小題5:根據(jù)現(xiàn)在的星期的來歷，故選A。
點評：總結(jié)段落大意題確實存在著一些難度。通過很多段落的分析，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)做HEADING 題一個總的做題原則：精讀首句，一一對應(yīng)原則，即首先劃好題目的關(guān)鍵詞，再從每段第一句進行閱讀，尋找題目關(guān)鍵詞和段落的一一對應(yīng)原則。如果第一句能與題目對應(yīng)就對應(yīng)了，如果第一句不能與題目對應(yīng)，則還須往后閱讀直到找到對應(yīng)為止。但使用這個原則的同時還必須確保第一句是中心句。怎樣斷定第一句為中心句，我們可以對段落結(jié)構(gòu)進行分析，來尋求中心句。
