鄭州市2014高考英語一輪（暑假） 閱讀理解訓練（8）及答案（201*·浙江卷）D It was Saturday . As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside,Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets , they had sent him to the kitchen for string(線). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. My mother looked at the sitting room ,its furniture disorderd for a thorough sweeping, Agun she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls ! Lets take string to the boys and watch them. On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth , just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps its like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to house. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was , we didn't mention that day afterward. I flt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.” The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.” “I cant go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when Im through Ill be too tired to walk that for.” My mother , who was visiting us , looked up from the peas she was shelling ,“Its a wonderful day,”she offered，“Really warm , yet theres a fine breczc . Do you remember that day we flew kites?” I stopped in my dash between stove and sink . The looked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on.”I told my little girl. “Youre right , its too good a day to miss.” Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath (余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely , but now for a long time he had been silent . What was he thinking of what dark and horrible things? “Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips . “Do you remember - no, of course you wouldnt . It probably didnt make the impression on you as it did on me.” I hardly dared speak.“Remember what ?” “I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(戰(zhàn)俘營), when things werent too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?”56.Mrs. Patrick was laughing guilnly because she thought .A. she was too old to fly kites B. her husband would make fun of herC. she should have been doing her housework thenD. her girls werent supposed to play the boys game57.

A child learn lng to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if cor rected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare (比較) their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathemat ics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the chil dren learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. 1.

All these words, you can see, have the same root "port", which comes from the Latin (拉丁文) word, meaning "to carry'or "to movenfrom one place to another. And according to the bit at the beginning which we call the prefix (前綴),the meaning changes: "import"means "to carry in", or "to bring into a country" "export" "exn,means "out of" so this word means "to carry out of a country""re"means "hack", so the word "report"means "to tell somebody, to bring1 back information to somebody" "transport", "trans" means "across'and it means "to carry across one place to another" !Let's look at the following words; supporter, reporter, importer and exporter. You can see that in this case these words are nouns which are made up of the verbs. Adding a suffix "er'to a verb means a person who does this thing. So supporter means somebody who supports. A reporter is somebody who reports. Importer is somebody who imports and exporter is somebody who exports, and so on. 1. "Some English words are made up of the same part.
