On July 4，1986，Americans celebrated the Statue of Liberty’s（自由女神） 100th birthday．Parades，speeches，fireworks，and other activities contributed to the great joy of the event．The celebration caused reporters and the 1ocal people to 1ook back a century to the similar great joy that marked the official opening of the statue．The Statue of Liberty was completed in 1886，but the story began earlier．The idea for a statue was first suggested at a dinner party by Edouard de Laboulaye， a French historian ．A guest at the party was Frederic Bartholdi，a young sculptor．
Most people who attended the dinner party soon forgot the idea，but Laboulaye and Bartholdi remembered it．In 187l， Bartholdi came to the United States to interest Americans in a statue that would link France and the United States in friendship．Many people in France had  already been persuaded and contributed money to the project．Americans were also persuaded to build a fund （基金）for the statue．Much of the money came from school children．
After the idea had been accepted，Bartholdi set to work． He worked hard for many years．His friend Laboulaye died before the statue was completed．At last，in 1885，the statue was sent to the United States．It had to be shipped in sections and then put together for its weight and size．
Ever since then， 1886，the Statue of Liberty has stood as a symbol of freedom to millions of immigrants entering New York Harbor．
小題1:Bartholdi made his first trip to the United States to talk about the Statue of Liberty in________．
A．1986B．187lC．1885D．1886
小題2:The Statue of Liberty was shipped in sections because_______．
A．it was too 1arge and heavy to move to USA as a whole
B．USA had better means of putting it together than France
C．the completed statue was a symbol of friendship for Americans
D．putting it together cost less money and labour in USA

小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)In 187l， Bartholdi came to the United States to interest Americans in a statue that would link France and the United States in friendship．故選B。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)It had to be shipped in sections and then put together for its weight and size．因為神像太大和太重不能整體運輸，故選A。
小題3:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)從整篇文章的語氣來看，作者寫這篇文章時，心情是平靜的，故選A。
小題4:主旨大意題。根據(jù)整篇的內(nèi)容來看主要敘述了自由女神像的故事，故選D。
點評：做主旨大意題時，首先要搞清是問某一段還是全文的大意，可利用文中主要信息來把握文脈，進(jìn)行綜合歸納，概括文章的主題。如有標(biāo)題，標(biāo)題中的蘊含的信息往往是關(guān)鍵信息。另外，任何一篇文章都是圍繞某個主題展開的，因此，許多文章中最明顯的特點之一是有一個反復(fù)出現(xiàn)的中心詞，即高頻詞，也叫做主題詞。抓住了它，便容易抓住文章的中心。

Today was a big day for my eldest son, Kevin. He had his first big boy haircut. Before today, we have always stood by his side, told the hairdresser what to do and watched over the whole thing. We’ve been working on the rewards (獎賞) of responsibility with my son for quite some time. Today, he got one of those rewards by having his own haircut.
When they arrived at the shop, his father showed him a book with lots of styles of haircuts for boys. After he made his choice, he waited patiently for his turn. My husband decided he would get his own hair cut at the same time.
When their names were called, Kevin showed the hairdresser the picture of his chosen haircut, which, thankfully, was not a strange haircut. The hairdresser looked to my husband for approval (批準(zhǔn)) and he told her his son was in charge.
During his haircut, Kevin talked happily with the hairdresser. My husband, who was getting his haircut in the next chair, kept silent. When all was said and done, Kevin looked quite handsome.
When it was time to pay, he reached into his pocket and took out the cash my husband gave him. He handed it to her and said, “Thanks, it’s all yours.” I guess that’s the six-year-old equivalent (對應(yīng)的語句) of “keep the change.”
I have to admit I was a little nervous about the whole thing before, but I’m a believer now. My son is growing up and ready for new big boy experiences.
小題1:When Kevin got his haircut, the author used to      .
A．do her own thingB．leave him alone
C．talk happily with her sonD．manage the whole thing
小題2:What did the author’s husband do at the hairdresser’s?
A．Picked out a hair style for his son.B．Talked happily with the hairdressers.
C．Had his own haircut silentlyD．Stood together with the author.
小題3:What was the hair style that Kevin chose like?
A．It was very strange. B．It suited him well.
C．It was very bad.D．It was more like a girl’s

Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I’m not a football commentator(評論員), though-just an English teacher in Japan.
I come to Japan two years ago, and didn’t think I would stay, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it’s best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I’d say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I’m my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it’s well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule(日程表) of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends here work full-time for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are unwilling to take time off –even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
小題1: From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in ________.
A．TokyoB．a(chǎn) small town
C．a(chǎn) city of middle sizeD．a(chǎn) big city
小題2:According to the writer, one had better _______ first to do private teaching better.
A．give a TEFL courseB．decide his or her own lessons
C．find studentsD．build up a full schedule
小題3:The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that _______.
A．there are many foreigners in Japan
B．Japan is good for nightlife
C．they can teach English privately in Japan
D．Japan has something more attractive than expected
小題4:After reading the passage, we can see _________.
A．the writer travelled a lot and saved much money in Japan.
B．the writer teaches English in more than one school as a part-time job.
C．the writer enjoys watching football games
D．the writer spent one year in finding students for his private teaching.
