答案

Passage 1

本文主要讲述了通过皮肤接触物体,能更好地感知物体,从而对物体观察得更好。

1.C.由第二段可知,通过触摸物体,你能判断物体的不同。

2.D.由第三段中的 “In shops, we touch things as we might buy food, clothes.”可知。

3.B.由这个句子后的句子“You are too used to them!”(你对它们太习以为常了!)可知。

4.D.由第二段第二句可知,触摸物体是为了看得更好,即触摸只是看的一种手段,故A项错误;通常脚不会去感知食物,即不能帮助我们买食物,故B项错误;由第三段第一、第二句可知C项错误;由第五段第二句“But today some museums have some things to touch.”可知D项正确。

5.C.根据短文的内容进行综合分析,这篇文章的最佳题目应选C。

Passage 2

1.F.本文介绍了印度几个世纪前就知道保护野生动物的必要性,但并没有说只有印度这一个国家。

2.F.由第二段第二句可知,印度的森林有点儿像今天的国家公园,只是打了个比方,并不是真的建立了国家公园。

3.F.由第二段第三、第四句可知。

4.T.由第三段第二句可知。

5.T.由第三段最后一句可知。

Passage 3

本文主要讲述了Roger一直让一位老年人给他理发,他对老年人理发的技术很满意,但是老人因年纪大了而把理发店卖给了一位年轻人。这位年轻人的理发技术却糟糕得很。

1.D.从文中第三段最后一句得知,Roger已把理发师当作自己的老朋友。

2.B.从短文第二段理发师所说的话,可以知道该题的答案。选项B.“Because he was too old to cut hair.”的意思是“因为他年龄太大不能再理发了”。

3.C.可直接从短文第三段找到答案。

4.D.通过阅读短文第四、五和六段,我们可分析出此题的答案。

Passage 4

本文介绍了大多数博物馆不让人参观触摸其中的物品,这限制了人们的兴趣而不能学习更多的知识,而美国波士顿儿童博物馆却给了孩子们更多的自由,从而使他们能够自由动手学到更多的知识。

1.only。由前后句子的意思可知,特别是由but可知前后两部分之间有转折关系。

2.touch。由前面的句子“只能看那儿的物品”可知,不能触摸。

3.for。for 意为“对……而言”。

4.use。人们想使用和玩一些物品。

5.why。由前面的两个句子的句意可知,那就是为什么我们学习关于某些事物的原因。

6.easily。根据句意可知:如果我们对某物感兴趣,我们学习关于它的知识就容易得多。

7.different。下面举例波士顿儿童博物馆允许孩子们触摸和使用其中的物品,可知这与前面所说的大多数博物馆不同。

8.machines。

9.film。

10.lot。a lot 意为“许多”,作状语,修饰前面的实行动词learn。

备注

1.You are too used to them!

你对它们太习以为常了!(见Passage 1)

be used to (doing)sth.表示“习惯于(干)某事”,而used to do sth.表示“过去习惯于/常常干某事”。例如:

John used to get up late, but now he is used to getting up early.

约翰过去习惯于晚起床,但现在他习惯于早起床。

2....from A. D.1 to 1800, the speed was about one sort every fifty years.

……从公元1年到公元1800年,哺乳动物灭绝的速度是大约每五十年灭绝一种。(见Passage 2)

“every other +n.(单数)”表示“每隔一……”,例如:every other day (每隔一天),every other line(每隔一行)等; “every+基数词+n.(pl.)”表示“每……”,例如:every five minutes (每五分钟,即每隔四分钟)等。

再如:

——How often are the Olympic Games held?

——奥运会多久举行一次?

——Every four years.

——每四年一次。

If You Love Me

If the sun should tumble from the sky,

If the sea should suddenly run dry,

If you love me, really love me,

Let it happen, I won't care.

If it seemed that everything is lost,

I will smile and never count the cost.

If you love me, really love me,

Let it happen, darling, I won't care.

Shall I catch a shooting star?

Shall I bring it where you are?

If you want me to, I will.

You can set me any task,

I'll do anything you ask,

If you'll only say you love me still.

When at last our life on earth is thru,

I will share eternity with you.

If you love me, really love me,

Let it happen, I won't care.

If you love me, really love me,

Let it happen, darling, I won't care.

[参考译文]

如果你爱我

如果太阳从天上坠落,

如果海水突然会枯竭,

只要你爱我,真的爱我,

随它去吧!不要管它!

如果一切似乎都会失去,

我会微笑,不计任何代价。

只要你爱我,真的爱我,

随它去吧!不要管它!

如果要我摘颗星,

如果要我带给你,

只要你要我这样做,

我会照你说的做,

我会做任何你要求的事,

只要你说你仍旧爱我。

迟早你我生命将结束,

我将与你共享永恒。

只要你爱我,真的爱我,

随它去吧!不要管它!

只要你爱我,真的爱我!

随它去吧!不要管它!

Rainy Days and Mondays

Talking to myself and feeling old,

Sometimes I'd like to quit,

Nothing ever seems to fit.

Hangin' around,

Nothing to do but frown.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

What I've got they used to call the blues.

Nothing is really wrong.

Feeling like I don't belong,

Walkin' around,

Some kind of lonely clown.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems

I always wander up here with you.

Nice to know somebody loves me,

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do,

Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before.

No need to talk it out.

We know what it's all about.

Hangin' around,

Nothing to do but frown.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny but it seems that it's the only thing to do,

Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before,

No need to talk it out.

We know what it's all about.

Hangin' around,

Nothing to do but frown.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Hangin' around,

Nothing to do but frown.

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

雨天和星期一

我对自己说我已老,

我想抛弃一切,

一切都让我心烦。

无所事事,

四处闲逛。

周一和雨天总让我沮丧。

人们说我患了忧郁症。

一切都没变糟,

只是我无所适从。

形影相吊,

四处闲逛,

周一和雨天总让我沮丧。

常与你闲逛却使我觉得很有趣,

有人爱我使我心欢喜。

只有与你闲逛才使我觉得很有趣。

去找一位钟爱我的人。

往事如烟已随风飘去,

记忆虽犹新,再说已无益。

无所事事,

四处闲逛。

周一和雨天总让我沮丧。

只有与你闲逛才使我觉得很有趣,

去找一位钟爱我的人。

往事如烟已随风飘去。

记忆虽犹新,再说已无益。

无所事事,

四处闲逛。

周一和雨天总让我沮丧。
