Long, long ago people couldn’t write and they had no books. But they had stories. People learned the stories by heart and taught new ones to one another. Sometimes it was hard to remember them all. __【1】______

The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (紙沙草) plants. People in other places learned to use papyrus from the Egyptians. _____2____ So, parchment (羊皮紙), made from goatskin, later took its place.

In ancient China books looked a little different. People there used ink to write on bamboo or silk. And then they invented paper. Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment. ______3______ Papermaking later spread to the West, but there was a big problem with these early books. Every single one had to be copied and written by hand.

______4____ They carved (雕刻) a page of words into a piece of wood or stone. They could then print the page by spreading ink on the wood or stone and putting it against paper. But it wasn’t until a German printer invented movable, metal letters that books became fast and easy to make. The letters could be used to print copy after copy, and the letters put together again and again to print different pages of words.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】A

【3】E

【4】G

【5】C

【解析】

試題分析:文章講述了書(shū)的發(fā)展史,包括紙的演變,如何更快的復(fù)印等方面。

【1】D根據(jù)第二段第一句The ancient Egyptians wrote their stories on something made from papyrus (紙沙草) plants.古埃及人把他們的故事寫(xiě)在用紙沙草這種植物制作的東西上,可知,第一段的最后一句在承接第一段的內(nèi)容并引起第二段的內(nèi)容,所以應(yīng)該填與把故事寫(xiě)下來(lái)的相關(guān)內(nèi)容。故選D。

【2】A根據(jù)前后文,由于紙沙草做的東西可以記錄,所以其他地方的人也想采用這種方式,后文又提到一種羊皮紙,later took its place后來(lái)取代了紙沙草,說(shuō)明其他地方的人得到紙沙草不容易,才會(huì)選擇替代物。故選A。

【3】E根據(jù)前一句Made of trees, paper was easier and cheaper to make than papyrus or parchment.用樹(shù)木制造的紙,相比紙沙草和羊皮草更加便宜和容易制作。可知,這一段是在講用樹(shù)木制作的紙的特點(diǎn)。故選E。

【4】G這一空為句首的句子,所以結(jié)合整段內(nèi)容可知,這一段是在講述怎樣讓書(shū)的制造過(guò)程更加簡(jiǎn)易迅速。在結(jié)合選項(xiàng),G中的speed可以得出答案。故選G。

【5】C最后一段的首句,結(jié)合全文可知,這一段對(duì)于書(shū)的發(fā)展史進(jìn)行了總結(jié),現(xiàn)在的書(shū)可以成千上萬(wàn)的復(fù)印制作。故選C。

【題目】Clara Barton, born on Christmas in 1821, is widely known as one of the most honored women in American history. She began teaching school when most teachers were men at that time. Later, she became one of the first women ever to be employed by the government.

Her career in helping the sick began when her brother David became her first patient. He fell down from the roof of a house when Clara was just 11 years old. She stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.

When the Civil War began in 1861, she immediately recognized that the poorly equipped soldiers needed help. Instead of waiting for others to step in, Clara collected necessary things on her own, asked the public for donations and learned how to store and distribute them to soldiers. She also read to the soldiers and wrote letters for them.

After the Battle of Cedar Mountain in northern Virginia in 1862, Clara arrived at a field hospital at midnight with a vehicle full of supplies. A doctor named Paul Smith at that hospital would later write, “I thought heaven had sent out an angel that night her assistance arrived at exactly the right time.”

In 1869, Clara went to Europe and learned about the International Committee of the Red Cross. Upon her return to the United States, she successfully founded the American Red Cross. She led the organization for the next 23 years. Her last field mission (使命) as president of the American Red Cross was to help the victims of the 1900 Galveston hurricane. She did not retire (退休) from the American Red Cross until she was 83. True to her nature, Clara always went to where the need was the greatest.

Today, the American Red Cross continues the mission Clara started more than 100 years ago. With the help of thousands of volunteers, the American Red Cross provides relief to victims of disasters, as well as helps people prevent, prepare for and respond to all sorts of emergencies.

【1】We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Clara Barton was _____.

A. honest B. caring C. talented D. modest

2After the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton _____.

A. joined the army and fought bravely

B. went to Europe for further study

C. continued to work as a teacher

D. did a lot to help soldiers

3Seeing Clara Barton’s arrival, Dr. Smith must have felt _____.

A. excited and grateful

B. proud and joyful

C. shy and nervous

D. sad and sorry

4What is mainly described in Paragraph 5?

A. The aim of the American Red Cross.

B. The importance of voluntary donations.

C. Clara Barton and the American Red Cross.

D Clara Barton’s contribution to the Civil War.

But if you can draw a horse that looks like a horse instead of a big dog, that is a skill.

Then ask yourself this question: in the following three areas skills with people, skills with information and skills with things which are your best skills?

After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers. 4

People are not so honest that they once were. The temptation to steal is greater than ever before ---- especial in large shops. A detective recently watched a well-dressed woman who always went into a large store on Monday mornings. One Monday, there was fewer people in the shop than usual when the woman came in, but it was easier for the detective to watch her. The woman first bought for a few small articles. After a little time, she chose one of the most expensive dressed in the shop and hand it to an assistant who wrapped it up for him as quickly as possible. Then the woman simply took the parcel and walked out to the shop with paying. When she was arrested, the detective found that the shop assistant was her daughter. The girl ‘gave’ her mother the free dress once a week!

【題目】閱讀理解。

Encouragement and praise can come in many forms,and some ways are better for children’s development than others.Researchers at the University of Chicago who studied mother-child interactions over the course found that the type of praise children receive affects their attitudes toward challenges later in life.Specifically,praise coming with feedback about their behavior that kids made helped them to deal better with difficult experiences five years later,compared with compliments that focused more on the child himself,like “You’re a good boy.”

“This is something we suspected would be the case based on a lot of experimental research,and it’s exciting to see it plays out in the real world,” says Elizabeth,a professor of psychology at Temple University,who led the study.“Praising the efforts,actions and work of the kid is going to be more beneficial in their long-term persistence and work hard in the future.”

Such “process praise” includes comments such as “You worked really hard” or “You’re doing a great job,” which emphasize the child’s actions.“Person praise” includes comments like “You’re so smart” or “You’re so good,” which focus on a child’s inherent qualities.These distinctions aren’t new in the field of psychology,but exactly how they affect children’s development over the years hasn’t been clear.

As part of the study,researchers visited the homes of more than 50 toddlers between the age of 1 and 3 years old,and filmed their daily interactions with their parents during multiple 90-minute sessions.Five years later,the researchers followed up with the families,using questionnaires to measure the children’s attitudes toward challenges and problem solving.The children who grew up with more process praise were more open to challenge,and could identify more ways of overcoming difficult problems.While person praise didn’t seem to have any negative effect on the children,process praise teaches children that their talents and abilities can be developed and improved,while person praise sends the message that their abilities are fixed and therefore not easily changed.

【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Praising inspires kids to form good personal quality.

B.Praising kids is tested to be effective in the long run.

C.The process of praising kids experiment is suspected.

D.The praising experiment is carried out in real situation.

【2】The underlined word “distinctions” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to .

A.condition B.differences

C.exception D.appearance

【3】From the last paragraph we can learn that .

A.kids should not be praised too frequently

B.different kids should be praised differently

C.process praise is less effective as we expected

D.kids with process praise tend to be more creative

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce a better way to praise kids.

B.To compare two different praising ways.

C.To predict the result of process praising.

D.To report the way of praising experiment.
