11.There are still many things that Peter Cooke would like to try his hand at-paper-making and feather-work are on his list.For the moment though,he will stick to the skill he has been delighted to perfect over the past ten years;making delicate and unusual objects out of shells.
   As he leads me round his apartment showing me his work,he points to a pair of shell-covered ornaments(裝飾品) above a fireplace.‘I shan't be at all bothered if people don't buy them because I have got so used to them,and to me they're adorable.I never meant to sell my work commercially.Some friends came to see me about five years ago and said,"You must have an exhibition-people ought to see these.We'll talk to a man who owns an art gallery".'The result was an exhibition in London,at which 70 percent of the objects were sold.His second exhibition opened at the gallery yesterday.Considering the enormous prices the pieces command-around£2,000 for the ornaments-an empty space above the fireplace would seem a small sacrifice for Cooke to make.
"I do wish,though,"says Cooke,‘that I'd taken this up a lot earlier,because then I would have been able to produce really wonderful things-at least the potential would have been there.Although the ideas are still there and I'm doing the best I can now,I'm more limited physically than I was when I started.Still,the work that he has managed to produce is a long way from the common shell constructions that can be found in seaside shops.‘I have a miniature(微型的)mind'he says,and this has resulted in boxes covered in thousands of tiny shells,little shaded pictures made from shells and baskets of astonishingly realistic flowers.
Cooke's quest for beautiful,and especially tiny,shells has taken him further than his Norfolk shore:to France,Thailand,Mexico,South Africa and the Philippines,to name but a few of the beaches where he has lain on his stomach and looked for beauties to bring home.
67.What does the reader learn about Peter Cooke in the first paragraph?B
A.He has produced hand-made objects in different materials.
B.He hopes to work with other materials in the future.
C.He has written about his love of making shell objects.

A.is attracted by Cooke's personality
B.realizes he doesn't like Cooke's work at all
C.feels uncertain about giving Cooke his opinion
D.senses that Cooke wants his products to be admired
69.The‘small sacrifice'in Paragraph 2 refers toA.
A.the loss of Cooke's ornaments
B.the display of Cooke's ornaments
C.the cost of keeping Cooke's ornaments
D.the space required to store Cooke's ornaments

A.He is not as famous as he should have been.
B.He makes less money than he should make.
C.He is less imaginative than he used to be.
D.He is not as skillful as he used to be.

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了Peter Cooke一直希望將來(lái)能和其他材料一起工作,但他的畫(huà)廊損失嚴(yán)重,他后悔自己的工作不再那么熟練了.

解答 67.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第一段"For the moment though,he will stick to the skill he has been delighted to perfect over the past ten years;making delicate and unusual objects out of shells"可知Peter Cooke希望將來(lái)能和其他材料一起工作;故選B.
68.A.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第二段"As he leads me round his apartment showing me his work,he points to a pair of shell-covered ornaments(裝飾品) above a fireplace"可知作者到他的公寓也被他的人格所吸引;故選A.
69.A.詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)文章第二段"Considering the enormous prices the pieces command-around£2,000 for the ornaments-an empty space above the fireplace would seem a small sacrifice for Cooke to make"他第二展覽開(kāi)幕畫(huà)廊昨天,考慮到巨大的價(jià)格在2000塊命令£飾品空壁爐上方似乎是一個(gè)小的犧牲為庫(kù)克做;可知詞義為庫(kù)克的飾品損失;故選A.
70.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"I have a miniature(微型的)mind'he says,and this has resulted in boxes covered in thousands of tiny shells,little shaded pictures made from shells and baskets of astonishingly realistic flowers"可知庫(kù)克對(duì)他工作沒(méi)有以前那么熟練感到遺憾;故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 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(shí)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(gè)人的主觀(guān)想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

They may be so small that they can crawl along the edge of a coin,but the endangered status of the Partula gibba snails means soon they may not be visible at all.
