There is a charge made against some fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there are some cases where children get timid (胆怯的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not objectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar (奇怪的) that it is hard to argue with them. If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
Not once is a fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world, but not every child is clever enough to be aware of it. Parents should choose their children’s “bed-time” reading materials with much care. Only the fairy stories containing positive effect will make a clever and caring child with rich imagination.
小题1:The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.
A.repeated without any change |

C.made some changes by parents |
D.set in the present situation |
A.he will get more interested |
B.great fear can take place in him |
C.he will like it to be repeated |
D.an experiment is being done |
A.fashionable | B.forgettable | C.available | D.believable |
A.fairy stories are all made up |
B.fairy tales lead to misunderstanding |

D.there is more concern for children |
A.they are made up far from the truth |
B.they are so full of imagination |

解析
试题分析:本文讲述的是人们会选择一些不太现实的神话故事让孩子读,会给孩子带来一些不好的影响,但是如果父母能够选择一些合适的读物,作者还是持有积极的态度的。
小题1:C 细节题。根据 It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. 可推知此题答案为C。
小题2: B 细节题。根据 this arises from the child having heard the story once. 可推知此题答案为B。
小题3:D 推理题。根据本句If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.说明这里的夸张手法如果可信,这个世界上久会充满这样的疯狂的人。
小题4: B。推断题。有些人认为神话不现实,都是教孩子一些不存在的东西,会对孩子有不好的影响。作者用虚拟语气作了一个假设,如果这些观点站得住脚的话,可能会出现这样的情况:the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend. 可见持这种观点的人实际上是对神话的一种误解。
小题5:A推断题。根据 …not objectively true, do not exist可知有些人不赞成神话故事的原因是这些故事是编出来的,远离现实。
小题6:C 推理题。本文讲述的是人们会选择一些不太现实的神话故事让孩子读,会给孩子带来一些不好的影响,但是如果父母能够选择一些合适的读物,作者还是持有积极的态度的。故C正确。
点评:本文讲述的父母给孩子寻找阅读材料的话题。要求考生在阅读理解整体语篇的基础上,把握文章的真正内涵。①要吃透文章的字面意思,从字里行间捕捉有用的提示和线索,这是推理的前提和基础;②要对文字的表面信息进行挖掘加工,由表入里,由浅入深,从具体到抽象,从非凡到一般,通过分析、综合、判定等,进行深层处理,符合逻辑地推理。不能就是论事,断章取义,以偏概全。③要忠实于原文,以文章提供的事实和线索为依据。立足已知,推断未知。立足现在,猜测未来。不能主观臆想,凭空想象,随意揣测,更不能以自己的观点代替作者的观点;④要把握句、段之间的逻辑关系,了解语篇的结构。要体会文章的基调,揣摸作者的态度,摸准逻辑发展的方向,悟出作者的弦外之音。

But with the development of industry(工业) , smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years, some scientists soon notice that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist with the name Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon(现象). He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured(重新捕获) as many as the marked moths as possible. The results were as follows.
| light moths | darker moths |
Moths set free | 201 | 601 |
moths recaptured | 34(16%) | 206(34%) |
Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again?
小题1:The Peppered Moth began to change its colour in industrial areas because .
A.it itself liked to |
B.it could be like the colour of its living-place |

A.many more of the light moths were killed or eaten |
B.more than one-fifth of the light moths was not killed |

Heating the blood of AIDS patients has been tried before, say doctors. But during previous attempts, the treatment induced deadly chemical changes in the blood. The Biologic-HT System prevents those changes from happening, allowing the heat to kill viruses with few ill side effects.
The new heat treatment cannot be considered a cure for Aids, says president of the company that makes the system. He says the treatment doesn’t kill all traces of the virus. However, it kills enough virus particles to give a patient’s immune system a reprieve in its deadly duel with HIV.
Tests of the Biologic-HT treatment began on 36 patients earlier this year. The treatment takes about four hours, and the patient normally feels well enough to leave the hospital or clinic the following morning.
So far, the patients who have had the treatment say they feel better and have developed no new opportunistic infections—disease that strike people with damaged immune systems. The patients also have experienced about a 50 percent increase in the number of T cells in their bodies. T cells are key disease-fighting cells of the immune system and the main target of HIV.
小题1:This passage is mainly concerned with ____________.
A. a way for treating AIDS |
B. a heat-sensitive virus |
C. the immune system of the human body |
D. the function of high temperature |
A. is heated with a single injection |
B. is heated by being circulated at a higher rate |
C. is taken out from the body and then circulated through a heating system. |
D.is taken out from the body, heated outside and then put back into the body. |
A.caused chemical changes |
B.could not kill HIV effectively |
C.resulted in deaths |
D.killed both HIV and healthy cells |
A.can kill all the HIV viruses |
B.cannot eliminate the viruses completely |
C. can double the number of disease-fighting cells |
D.can reconstruct the patient’s immune system. |
A.disappointing | B.incomplete | C.successful | D.surprising |
To use your dictionary correctly, you need to understand how the dictionary works. At the front of the book, you will find some exercises to help you make the most use of your dictionary.
If you look up the word “colour”, you will find two spellings for this word. “Colour” is used in British English, while “color” is used in American English. When there are differences between British and American spelling, the dictionary shows it with the word “BrE” for British English and “AmE” for American English.
The dictionary also helps you pronounce words correctly. We use a special alphabet (特殊字母) to show pronunciation. If you turn to the inside back face, you will see all the phonetic letters (音标) with some words to show you how they are pronounced. Just look at the inside back cover when you’re not sure how to say a word.
The most important reason for using a dictionary is to find out the meaning of a word—its definition
In this dictionary, the definitions have been written using only 2000 words. This means that the definitions of even the most difficult words are simply explained and easy to understand.
When a word has more than one meaning, read all the meanings until you find the one that correctly tells the use of the word you are looking for.
Most of the words in this dictionary can be used by people in all parts of the world.
小题1:The AmE spelling of the Chinese word “颜色” in this dictionary is ________.
A.colour | B.colar | C.color | D.corner |
A.understand | B.write | C.say | D.know |
A.词性 | B.词条 | C.词义 | D.词库 |
A.some of the difficult words |
B.all the words in the dictionary in a simple way |
C.all easy words |
D.the words with two meanings |
The main reason for violent acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time. They want to do everything. They watch on TV and never think of the results, and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher.
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results.
When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing, how he is writing, or if he understands the explanations. At home the teacher can explain in detail everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper.
And many times, the child grows fond of the teacher at home, who becomes his best friend, and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to.
However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home, because school makes children communicate and socialize. Keeping a child at home for fear that something bad might happen to him only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is. Staying in a glass bowl only does harm to the child.
All in all, schools have been created to help children, not to harm them, so it’s best to keep children in these special places, where they learn, laugh, have fun and make new friends.
小题1:The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to .
A.teach parents the ways to keep theft children safe |
B.show solutions to developing children’s character |
C.explain the main reason for violence acts in schools |
D.analyze an education problem and give opinions. |
A.A toy that can be used for entertainment. |
B.A safe and comfortable environment. |
C.An object that is made of crystal. |
D.A setback that is hard to overcome. |
A.violent TV programs have bad effects on children’ behavior |
B.the teacher at home is more patient than the teacher at school |
C.children today are weak from lack of sense of right and wrong |
D.there are too many students in class for a teacher to teach |
