题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Where we live，on the eastern shore of Maryland，the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place，as do the white swans and the ducks. In autumn，they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year，snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens，if the river is at its narrowest，there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
One morning，a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window，which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out，“There is a goose out there.”
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose，very still，its wings folded tight to its sides，its feet frozen into the ice.
Then from the dark skies，she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now，with one hand against her mouth，unbelieving. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose，she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by those great swan bills.
Instead，those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down，again and again. It went on for a long time. At last，the goose’s head was lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and stood on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then，as if it had cried，“I cannot fly.” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly，the goose spread its wings as far as they would go，and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moment，and from it comes only one hopeful question：If so for birds，why not for man？
小题1:Which would be the best title for the passage?| A．Why Not for Man? | B．Graceful Swans | | C．Swans’ Brave Act | D．I Just Couldn’t Believe It! |
小题2:What happened to the Canada goose?| A．It was deserted by other geese. | | B．It was stuck in the ice. | | C．It was wounded and couldn’t fly. | | D．It was lost in the water. |
小题3:At first the author’s friend was worried that________.| A．the swans would not help the Canada goose | | B．she didn’t care about this matter any more | | C．the swans wouldn’t identify with the Canada goose | | D．the swans would peck the Canada goose to death |
小题4:What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?| A．They chipped off the ice held in its feathers. | | B．They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt. | | C．They came down and lifted it up to the sky together. | | D．They stayed with it and protected it. |

Inventor，physicist，surveyor，astronomer，biologist，artist... Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Once he worked with renowned（有名声的） men of science like Christian Huygens，Antony van Leeuwenhoek，Robert Boyle，Isaac Newton and the great architect，Christopher Wren.
Hooke’s early education began at home，under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen，and from there he went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising（发明） instruments. In 1662，at the age of twenty－eight，he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations. He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木) under a microscope，he saw honeycomb－like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact，it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
Perhaps because of his varied interests，Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left off and then claimed sole(独占的)credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICROGRAPHIA，a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(陨石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.
小题1:From the first paragraph，we can know that Robert Hooke __________.| A．was famous because he worked with many scientists | | B．liked making friends with the famous people | | C．received a lot from other scientists | | D．made contributions to many different fields |
小题2:Robert Hooke probably went to school in __________.| A．1647 | B．1634 | C．1662 | D．1640 |
小题3:Robert Hooke made himself known to some of the best scientists in England by __________.| A．learning by himself with his father’s help | | B．introducing himself to them | | C．designing experiments and instruments | | D．refusing any reward from Royal Society of London |
小题4:Robert Hooke couldn’t get along well with his colleagues because __________.| A．he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes | | B．he had all kinds of interests in his daily life | | C．he was too proud to look up to them | | D．the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments |
