专题08 阅读理解回答问题 1.（23-24 八上 上海浦东 期末） I am a plastic bottle. A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters—other bottles full of water. I felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a litter bin. I have never felt so empty and alone in my life. Early the next morning, a man took me out of the litter bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many terrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat (扁平的). I cannot believe how thin I became. I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had nasty smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a lot of soil. I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years. “Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?” I cried. 1.

Sometimes they talked and talked, and couldn't stop. And sometimes they just sat there and didn't say a word. But nobody was more surprising than Dr Huxtable. He was a large man, tall, well-dressed. He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it. He sat there, with his eyes closed, looking pale and ill. Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton, in the north of England. "Meckleton-that's a long way, "said Holmes,"Its not twelve o'clock yet, so he probably let home before five o'clock this morning. He was probably hungry." After a minute or two, the man began to move, and his eyes opened. A second later, he stood up. His face was now red and unhappy. "M. Holmes, I am so sorry! I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning-that's why I felt ill. But I'm better now", said our visitor, "And Mr Holmes, come back to Mackleton with me by the next train, please!'' "I'm sorry, that's not possible" said Holmes,"I'm working on two important cases. I cannot leave London at the moment." "Important cases!"our visitor cried, "But this case is important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke（公爵） of Holderness e three days ago…" "What! The Duke of Holdermesse?" I was shocked. "Yes, that’s him. And he is one of the greatest men in the country." said Dr. Huxtable, "Mr. Holmes, The Duke is offering five thousand dollars for news of his son, and another one thousand dollars for the name of the kidnapper." "That,"said Holmes, "is a most interesting offer."He looked at me, "Watson, I think we are going with Dr. Huxtable back to the north of England this afternoon." 1.

In August, it is very hot and wet in the south of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the north and mid-west, it is very hot sometimes and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather also has an effect on human intelligence. An experiment showed that the lQ(智商) of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their lQ was 10% down. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can lower it.

No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names. Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women. Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860. The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The ideas that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted. 1. Did women go out to work before 1800? ______________________________________________________ 2. Which was the first profession open to women? ______________________________________________________ 3. Who was the first woman nurse in the world? ______________________________________________________ 4.

I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found out the apartment they had rented (租) for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers (抢劫犯) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But this morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home so I put a $10 note in my pocket. While I was running through the park, another jogger bumped into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was a bit strange so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately started to run after another jogger. I finally caught up and grabbed him by his arm. I started shouting and demanding that he gave me the $10. I’m not usually a hot-headed person but I really lost my temper. This seemed to frighten him and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started. She immediately interrupted, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” 1.

He grew up in a small village in Malawi, Africa. He and his friends Geoffrey and Gilbert made what toys they had from trash. They attended Wimbe Primary School and helped their families in the fields. William and Geoffrey had interest in radios and took them apart to understand the machinery inside. William looked forward to secondary school and taking science classes. In December 2000, heavy rains made it too hard for farmers to plant their corn. Although worried about a terrible harvest, William began trying to understand how bicycle dynamos (发电机) work. They could light a bulb using the electricity produced by someone pedaling. He dreamed of how his family’s life would improve with electric power. By December 2001, the corn supply in his village was nearly running out, and families were starving. William learned that he had been accepted into secondary school, which would give him a chance to achieve his goals. But soon after classes began, William was forced to leave school because there was no money for his school tuition. Finally in March 2002, there was corn, and families could eat again. William started thinking about school and visited the library at Wimbe Primary School to keep his mind active. There，he found books on physics and engineering. From the pictures and diagrams in the book Explaining Physics, William got the idea to build a wind mill to produce electricity. He began spending his days looking for old machinery parts. To the people in his village, William seemed to have gone crazy. But William, with the help of Gilbert and Geoffrey, built the wind mill. It worked! He wired a system of lights for his house and also figured out how to charge cell phones. When some officials visited Wimbe Primary School, they noticed William’s wind mill. One helped spread the story of the boy with the talent for science across Malawi and the world. William went to a TED Conference in Tanzania. Then he got the chance to attend the African Leadership Academy in South Africa where he met other young inventors and scientists. They all wanted to make Africa’s future brighter. William’s true story tells us that everybody should make efforts to realize his or her dreams. 1.Where did William Kamkwamba grow up? ____________________________________________ 2.

It’s a true story, written as a comedy. The author is Bill Bryson. Bryson returned to the US after 20 years in Britain and decided to get familiar with his native country by walking the Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚山道). The trail, about 3,500 kilometers long, is popular with thousands of hikers. It goes from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mountain Katahdin in Maine. The story offers a landscape of silent forests and beautiful lakes. But as a writer with comic genius, Bryson also finds humor in the struggles that he and his old friend, Stephen Katz, went through. Lots of silly things happen along the way. At the beginning, Bryson reads about the dangers of the wild and stays awake for hours each night, because he is worried he will be killed by bears. Later the two middle-aged men try to climb a mountain but get caught in a snowstorm. They get lost more than once, but they always manage to find their way back to the trail. They also meet a lot of strange people. But the story is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson also talks about acid rain (酸雨), the hunting of birds, and damage to the ecosystem (生态系统). It’s a mix of the silly and the serious, a fresh way of getting readers to actually care about the environmental problems. As the website Book Browse said in a review, the book “will certainly become a modern classic of travel literature”. 1 Bill Bryson comes from Britain, doesn’t he? ___________________________________________________________________________ 2 How long is the Appalachian Trail? ___________________________________________________________________________ 3 Why does Bryson stay awake for hours each night during his life on the trail? ___________________________________________________________________________ 4 What happens to Bryson and his friend when they try to climb a mountain? ___________________________________________________________________________ 5 What is the implied (隐含的) meaning of the underlined sentence?

A week ago, I was on a supermarket shelf. I had a normal life, the same as all my brothers and sisters—other bottles full of water. I felt really happy. Then a tall woman picked me up and put me in her basket! The woman took me home and put me in the fridge. It was cold, but I soon made friends with the cans and bottles in it. However, only a few hours later, she took me out of the fridge and drank the water inside me. Then she threw me into a litter bin. I have never felt so empty and alone in my life. Early the next morning, a man took me out of the litter bin. He threw me and the other rubbish into the back of a truck. There were so many terrible smells. Then I was pushed together with the rest of the rubbish. Soon I was completely flat (扁平的). I cannot believe how thin I became. I slept for a while. When I woke up, I found myself in a terrible place. Everything around me was ugly and had nasty smells. I felt afraid. I kept hoping that I would be moved somewhere else. Then huge trucks came and covered us with a lot of soil. I asked another bottle what would happen to us. He said that we would never leave this crowded place, but would have to stay here for thousands of years. “Why can’t they reuse or recycle us?” I cried. 1.

Sometimes they talked and talked, and couldn't stop. And sometimes they just sat there and didn't say a word. But nobody was more surprising than Dr Huxtable. He was a large man, tall, well-dressed. He came into the room, walked to one of the big chairs, and suddenly fell into it. He sat there, with his eyes closed, looking pale and ill. Holmes looked in the man's pockets and found a train ticket from Mackleton, in the north of England. "Meckleton-that's a long way, "said Holmes,"Its not twelve o'clock yet, so he probably let home before five o'clock this morning. He was probably hungry." After a minute or two, the man began to move, and his eyes opened. A second later, he stood up. His face was now red and unhappy. "M. Holmes, I am so sorry! I forgot to eat or drink anything this morning-that's why I felt ill. But I'm better now", said our visitor, "And Mr Holmes, come back to Mackleton with me by the next train, please!'' "I'm sorry, that's not possible" said Holmes,"I'm working on two important cases. I cannot leave London at the moment." "Important cases!"our visitor cried, "But this case is important too. You know about the kidnapping of the son of the Duke（公爵） of Holderness e three days ago…" "What! The Duke of Holdermesse?" I was shocked. "Yes, that’s him. And he is one of the greatest men in the country." said Dr. Huxtable, "Mr. Holmes, The Duke is offering five thousand dollars for news of his son, and another one thousand dollars for the name of the kidnapper."

The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would dream of entering what was a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home. This was such a widely accepted idea. When the famous Bront sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (隐瞒) themselves by signing their books with men’s names. Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to accept women. Hospital nursing became great work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a rich and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the sick and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860. The invention of the typewriter in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had quick fingers, they learned to operate typewriters quickly and well. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even managed to become doctors or lawyers. The ideas that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted. 1. Did women go out to work before 1800? ______________________________________________________ 2. Which was the first profession open to women? ______________________________________________________ 3. Who was the first woman nurse in the world? ______________________________________________________ 4. Why did the Bront sisters sign their books with men’s names? ______________________________________________________ 5. Now “nice” women are only doctors or lawyers, aren’t they? ______________________________________________________ 6. What do you think of the idea of women going out to work? ______________________________________________________ 【答案】 1. No, they didn’t. 2. Teaching. 3. Florence Nightingale. 4. Because at that time women could not go out to work/men were sure that no woman could do a job outside her home/ women’s only place was in the home… 5. No, they aren’t 6. Any reasonable idea is acceptable. 【导语】本文讲的是原来女性的地位很低，没有受教育的机会，但是有了Florence Nightingale的出现，女性地位慢慢开始提升。 【解析】 1. 文中第一句话提到，在1800前，女性工作的地方只有在家里，说明在1800前，女性是没有地位的，不能出去工作的，故写否定答案。 2. 第二段第一句话表明，女性的第一份工作是教师，故写teaching。 3. 第三段提到，Florence Nightingale是第一个女性护士，从此，女性的地位有所改变，她是女性历史上非常重要的一个人。 4. 第一段第三行提到，那时候没有女性出去工作的，所以她们如果做一些事情的话，就是影藏自己的名字，写上男性的名字，故写第一段第三行的原因句子。 5. 全文最后一句话，“nice”女性可以出现在很多地方，除了问题中提到的，还有生意场上的也可以，故写否定回答。 6. 开放性问题，支持女性工作的观点都可以。 11.（23-24 八上 上海浦东 期末） A Chinese cartoon company on Thursday launches a comic design competition in South Korea for collecting a cartoon character "Spring Wawa"，which means "a doll of the Spring Festival" in Chinese，to represent culture of China's Lunar New Year.

I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found out the apartment they had rented (租) for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers (抢劫犯) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But this morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home so I put a $10 note in my pocket. While I was running through the park, another jogger bumped into me. He apologized and continued running. I thought it was a bit strange so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. I immediately started to run after another jogger. I finally caught up and grabbed him by his arm. I started shouting and demanding that he gave me the $10. I’m not usually a hot-headed person but I really lost my temper. This seemed to frighten him and he quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home I began to tell my wife my story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started.

He grew up in a small village in Malawi, Africa. He and his friends Geoffrey and Gilbert made what toys they had from trash. They attended Wimbe Primary School and helped their families in the fields. William and Geoffrey had interest in radios and took them apart to understand the machinery inside. William looked forward to secondary school and taking science classes. In December 2000, heavy rains made it too hard for farmers to plant their corn. Although worried about a terrible harvest, William began trying to understand how bicycle dynamos (发电机) work. They could light a bulb using the electricity produced by someone pedaling. He dreamed of how his family’s life would improve with electric power. By December 2001, the corn supply in his village was nearly running out, and families were starving. William learned that he had been accepted into secondary school, which would give him a chance to achieve his goals. But soon after classes began, William was forced to leave school because there was no money for his school tuition. Finally in March 2002, there was corn, and families could eat again. William started thinking about school and visited the library at Wimbe Primary School to keep his mind active. There，he found books on physics and engineering. From the pictures and diagrams in the book Explaining Physics, William got the idea to build a wind mill to produce electricity. He began spending his days looking for old machinery parts. To the people in his village, William seemed to have gone crazy. But William, with the help of Gilbert and Geoffrey, built the wind mill. It worked! He wired a system of lights for his house and also figured out how to charge cell phones. When some officials visited Wimbe Primary School, they noticed William’s wind mill. One helped spread the story of the boy with the talent for science across Malawi and the world. William went to a TED Conference in Tanzania. Then he got the chance to attend the African Leadership Academy in South Africa where he met other young inventors and scientists. They all wanted to make Africa’s future brighter. William’s true story tells us that everybody should make efforts to realize his or her dreams. 1.Where did William Kamkwamba grow up? ____________________________________________ 2.

It’s a true story, written as a comedy. The author is Bill Bryson. Bryson returned to the US after 20 years in Britain and decided to get familiar with his native country by walking the Appalachian Trail (阿巴拉契亚山道). The trail, about 3,500 kilometers long, is popular with thousands of hikers. It goes from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mountain Katahdin in Maine. The story offers a landscape of silent forests and beautiful lakes. But as a writer with comic genius, Bryson also finds humor in the struggles that he and his old friend, Stephen Katz, went through. Lots of silly things happen along the way. At the beginning, Bryson reads about the dangers of the wild and stays awake for hours each night, because he is worried he will be killed by bears. Later the two middle-aged men try to climb a mountain but get caught in a snowstorm. They get lost more than once, but they always manage to find their way back to the trail. They also meet a lot of strange people. But the story is more than just a laugh-out-loud hike. Bryson also talks about acid rain (酸雨), the hunting of birds, and damage to the ecosystem (生态系统). It’s a mix of the silly and the serious, a fresh way of getting readers to actually care about the environmental problems.
