19.Teddy Bear
Can you bear it?The famous teddy bear is more than 100years old,and got its name from a United States president.
In 1902,President Theodore"Teddy"Roosevelt took a trip to the American South to help work out a land disagreement between Mississippi and Louisiana.While there,the president went hunting for bears.
Days passed with no luck for the president,but lots of good luck for the bears.Finally,his guides captured (捕獲) a bear and offered to let the president shoot it,so he wouldn't have to go home empty-handed.
Roosevelt flatly (斷然地) refused.He thought it would be unfair and cruel.
When word of the president's decision got out,a cartoonist for The Washington Star newspaper drew a picture of the bear and Roosevelt holding up his hand to say"No".The cartoon was seen all over the country,making the president,who was already popular,a hero.
Meanwhile (同時),the owner of a small store in New York asked his wife to make a toy bear for sale.He displayed it in his window with a copy of the cartoon and a sign that said,"Teddy's Bear."
That bear,and many others like it,sold big,especially after President Roosevelt gave his official permission for his name to be used.Finally,the letter"s"was dropped and Teddy's Bear became simply the teddy bear.
So the bear that you've slept with is really a part of the US history.

分析 文章主要講述了泰迪熊的起源.
解答 21.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第四段的"Roosevelt flatly(斷然地) refused.He thought it would be unfair and cruel"以及第五段的"The cartoon was seen all over the country,making the president,who was already popular,a hero"可知,羅斯福斷然拒絕對被捕的熊開槍射擊,他的這一行為讓他成為一個人民心目中的英雄.
22.C,推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章的"That bear,and many others like it,sold big,especially after President Roosevelt gave his official permission for his name to be used"可知,泰迪熊之所以熱銷,是因為總統(tǒng)與熊之間的故事被傳為佳話.
23.B,主旨大意題.文章主要講述了泰迪熊的起源,因此最好的題目是B選項.
24.A,短文主要講述了泰迪熊的起源,根據(jù)In 1902,Days passed,F(xiàn)inally可知是按時間順序描寫的,故答案為A.
