Zeuxis found the painting so funny that he died laughing at it.Also known as Martin the Humane，he was King of Aragon，Valencia，Sardinia and Corsica and Count of Barcelona from 1396 and King of Sicily from 1409.One day，Martin had eaten an entire goose (鵝) and was suffering from indigestion.He was in his bedroom trying to shift the pain when his favourite ministerBorraentered to entertain him.According to legend Martin asked him where he'd been and the minister replied: “Out of the vineyard (葡萄園)，where I saw a young deer hanging by his tail from a tree，as if someone had punished him for stealing grapes.” Martin laughed widely and then kicked the bucket.Urquhart was a Scottish who knew many languages and was good at mathematics.He translated many articles and released papers on maths.His father was a gambler(賭徒)who was in great debt.After his father died，Urquhart was bothered by creditors (債主) throughout his early life.He eventually found himself captured by Royalists and spent a long time imprisoned in the Tower of London and later Windsor，before being freed by Oliver Cromwell.When Urquhart heard the news that Charles had been restored to the throne (王位)，he laughed so hardily that he died.【答案速查】13CAD【語篇解讀】文章講述了3個因為大笑而死的歷史名人。1How did the three persons mentioned in the passage die?AThey died of diseases.BThey died in the war.CThey died of laughing.DThey died from accidents.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文講述了3個因為大笑而死的歷史名人?！敬鸢浮緾【規(guī)律技巧】由各段主要意義確定文章主旨大意第一段介紹了Zeuxis由于滑稽的繪畫，死于大笑之中。第二段介紹了Martin the Humane由于聽到大臣的笑話而亡。第三段介紹了Urquhart聽到查理二世重新繼承王位后，高興而亡。綜上所述，整篇文章介紹了三個死于大笑的人物。2What do you know about Zeuxis?AHis painting was very vivid.BHe was good at mathematics.CHe could speak a few languages.DHe was a gambler.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“during a painting competition the grapes he painted were so realistic that birds flew down and began eating them.”可知，在一次繪畫比賽中，他畫的葡萄太逼真，引得鳥兒都飛下來啄食。【答案】A3Why did Martin feel ill one day?AHe ate bad food.BHe ate too many grapes.CHe was bothered by creditors.DHe couldn't digest well.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“One day，Martin had eaten an entire goose(鵝) and was suffering from indigestion.”可知，Martin因為消化不好所以感到不適?！敬鸢浮緿BHumans have been making boats for thousands of years.Archeologists have found evidence of boat building by early human beings all over the world.Some of the earliest boats have been found on the Aleutian Islands，in the northwestern United States.People who lived there long ago ate sea mammals (哺乳動物) to survive.They used a small，quick kayak (愛斯基摩劃子) to hunt the animals.Russians would later name the kayak a “baidarka.” It is only built on the Aleutian Islands.Corey Freedman works at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle，Washington.He teaches students how to build baidarkas using methods that are respectful of the culture.“We use very，very little materials，thus our boats are the lightest in the world.”Students make the boats the same way boat builders did hundreds of years ago，except that they do not use animal skins.The boats are built without detailed technical plans or drawings or modern toolsexcept electric­powered tools.“They're all done，built like sculptures，freehand.So it's more of an art than a science.”A student named Jim had always wanted to make boats for about 40 years.He said it was the center that made his dream of making boats come true.Now in the center，he puts different pieces together without using nails.He is building his fourth kayak.Each one is built in about nine days.Corey Freedman says the boats may look the same，but they have discrepancies.And the boats are shaped actually to their personality.Sounds hokey (夸張可笑的)，but if one person is more competitive than another，we're going to have different­shaped boats.All those things are taken advantage of.The students at the center are adults.But Mr.Freedman also teaches young people in Alaska.They are from 12 to 14 years of age，and come from villages throughout the large state.Mr.Freedman says he has loved boat building since he was a child.And he loves sharing his passion with people who live in an area where the boats were first made.【答案速查】47DCBC【語篇解讀】為了繼承傳統(tǒng)文化，美國的the Center for Wooden Boats教成年人以及孩子學(xué)習(xí)古代造船技術(shù)。4Early human beings built boats to _.Atravel on waterBenjoy themselvesCcarry living goods Dhunt animals【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“People who lived there long ago ate sea mammals (哺乳動物)to survive.They used a small，quick kayak (愛斯基摩劃子) to hunt the animals.”可知，早期居住在那里的人以捕食海洋哺乳動物為生。他們用小的、敏捷的愛斯基摩劃子獵殺海生動物。【答案】D5What do you know about the kayak?AIt is a boat completely made of wood.BIt was first made by Russians.CIt is a boat made with animal skins.DIt is a boat that is suitable for living in.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的“Students make the boats the same way boat builders did hundreds of years ago，except that they do not use animal skins.”可知，除了不用動物的皮，學(xué)生們用造船者數(shù)百年前的方法造船。由此可推知，愛斯基摩劃子是用動物皮做成的?！敬鸢浮緾6What does the underlined word “discrepancies” mean?ANumbers. BDifferences.CNames. DFunctions.【解析】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“And the boats are shaped actually to their personality.Sounds hokey(夸張可笑的)，but if one person is more competitive than another，we're going to have different­shaped boats.”可知，實際上，船的形狀符合它們的個性。聽起來夸張可笑，但是如果一個人的競爭意識比其他人強，我們將會有不同形狀的船。由此可知，Corey Freedman說船雖然看起來一樣，但是卻是不同的。由此可猜出畫線詞的含義為“不同”?！敬鸢浮緽7From the passage，we can learn that _.Achildren from Alaska are also taught at the centerBall the boats are made according to the builders' looksCMr.Freedman teaches how to make boats in Alaska and SeattleDMr.Freedman teaches people how to build boats only at the center【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的敘述可知，Corey Freedman在西雅圖的the Center for Wooden Boats教怎樣造船。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“But Mr.Freedman also teaches young people in Alaska.”可知，Corey Freedman也在阿拉斯加州教年輕人造船。由此可知，Corey Freedman在西雅圖和阿拉斯加州這兩個地方教如何造船。【答案】C.語法填空閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個單詞)或括號內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。This is a simple story.I 1._(drive)one day when I saw a young couple 2._(run)crazily after a bus.The bus pulled away from the stop just as they arrived!I slowed down and noticed that they looked 3._(disappoint)So，I stopped and said，“Jump in！I'll overtake 4._bus and you can catch it at the next stop.”They looked amazed at the offer，but got into my car.I followed the bus 5._I couldn't overtake far enough to make sure that they would get on.How difficult 6._was to overtake a bus 7._didn't stop often！So I decided to send them to their final place.After some chat with my new 8._(passenger)it became clear that they were new to the area.They were both so grateful to me and said it was the nicest thing that could have happened to them as they were not familiar with Brighton.I 9._(simple)smiled and said，“It's what we do in Brighton！”It is a great way 10._(show)how proud you are of where you live!【答案】1.was driving2.running3.disappointed4the5.but6.it7.that/which8.passengers9simply10.to show【規(guī)律技巧】名詞形式變化規(guī)律名詞的形式變化主要有單數(shù)、復(fù)數(shù)、所有格的變化。題空后they說明了該題應(yīng)該填名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。
