what could i do? ten minutes later i was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. it was tall and narrow, quite heavy too .

as it was getting darker, i drove slowly . other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. the police even stopped traffic to let us through . carrying furniture was a good idea.

阅 读 理 解

look at the picture. its a small room. we can see betty in it. there is a bed and a desk in her room. whats on the wall? its a map of england. we can see a photo (照片) near the map. its bettys photo. we can see a clock on the table. there are some flowers near it. is her black cat on the bed? no, its her hat. wheres her bag? its on the bed, too.

1. whose (谁的) room is it? 2. is the room big or small?

3. whats on the wall? 4. where are the flowers?

5. what colour is bettys hat?

参考答案

解答：阅读题对于初学者来说略有困难。学生希望直接从文章中找到答案。有的题可以但有的题却不能。这篇文章介绍的是一幅画。没有提到房间是betty的，但所介绍的物品与她有关，故房间是betty的。

1、答案为its bettys.

2、文章的第二句表明房间小，故答案为its small.

3、墙上除了有英国地图外，旁边还有一张照片，故答案为there is a map of england and a photo.

4、文章没有说花在桌子上，但钟在桌子上，花在它的旁边，当然花在桌子上，故答案为theyre on the table.

5、文章也没讲betty的帽子是什么颜色，但把床上的帽子误认为黑色的猫。由此可见她的帽子是黑色的，故答案为its black.

way of making music. you may use a piano or any other musical instrument， if someone can play it. you may use a tape recorder. you can even use a radio.

put the chairs in a row. the chairs may be put in twos， back to back. a better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it. the game is easy. when the music starts， the players walk round the chairs. everyone goes in the same direction， of course， they should walk in time to the music. if the music is fast they should walk quickly. if the music is slow， they should walk slowly.

the person playing music cannot see the people in the game. when the music stops， the players try to sit on the chairs. if a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out. then， before the music starts again， one chair must be taken away. when the music stops again， one more player will be out.

at last， there will be two players and one chair. the one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. if ten people are playing musical chairs， you must begin with _______. a. nine chairs b. ten chairs c. eleven chairsd. one chair

a. the game “musical chairs” is not difficult to learn. b. the last one can sit on the last chair. c. the winner can sit on the chair.

d. if the person plays music， he cannot be the winner. 「答案与解析」

1. 选a.因为在第4段有这样一句if a person cannot find a chair to sit on， he drops out.那么肯

定是椅子比人数少1，这样才会有人没得坐，故选a.

2. 选d.在第1段中提到了a、b、c三种可以播放音乐的器具，而d项没有，因为一般来说电话是不能播放音乐的，所以选d.

3. 选d.第2段的put the chairs in a row就是“把椅子排成一排”这意。选d.

4. 选c.由第3段中的句子when the music starts， the players walk round the

chairs.可知答案为c.

5. 选b.本题可用排除法，由第1段第2句it is easy to play 可知道a项正确；由最后一句the one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.可知c项是正确的；由第4段的句子the person playing music cannot see the people in the game可知d项也是正确的。故答案选b.

阅读理解 不一样的平安夜

christmas eve means a warm get-together with friends， a candlelight dinner， or perhaps a celebration at a pub（酒馆） for students. but， for cai yingjie， the night has a different meaning： helping beggars（乞丐） and the homeless（people without homes）。

cai， who is a student in journalism at tsinghua， could be found at beijing‘s wudaokou light railway station that special evening. when she saw an old beggar， she took the cold， rough hands of the woman with her warm， clean hands， and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves（手套）。

the woman was surprised for a few seconds， then burst into tears， saying “for the first time i feel respected（尊重）”。

cai said， “a beggar‘s life is very hard. that’s why i want to help them.”

cai was one of 14 tsinghua students spending christmas eve among the poor. they walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on friday， visiting 15 beggars in beijing‘s haidian district.

they brought bread and gloves with them， and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.

“i know the activity can‘t help much， but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long，” said sun， head of the group. “and christmas is a good time for that.”

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. what does christmas eve mean to the 14 tsinghua students？ a. taking 15 beggars to tsinghua. b. getting together with friends.

c. showing care to the beggars and the homeless. d. selling bread and gloves to the beggars.

2. what does the beggar mean by saying “for the first time i feel respected”？

a. the beggar has been waiting for cai for long. b. the beggar hasn‘t been shown care for so long. c. the beggar has been respecting cai for a long time.

d. this is the first time the beggar has seen tsinghua students. 3. what did

each beggar feel when they received greetings？ a. sad. b. amazed. c. frightened. d. proud.

4. the word “neglected” in the last passage means _______. a. protectedb. found

c. taken care of d. given no enough care 「答案与解析」

1. 选c.第1段的最后一句?helping beggars（乞丐） and the homeless（people without homes）。 就是他们的决定，即去帮助那些乞丐和无家可归的人，给他们以关爱。答案选c.

2. 选b.根据第3段中的 woman所说的话：?for the first time i feel respected（尊重）。 我们可以推断出：乞丐们有太长的时间没人关心了。故答案为b.

3. 选b. 在第6段中有这样一句each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise. 而b选项中amazed 的同义表达就是surprised，所以答案为b.

4. 选d.本文讲述了14个清华学子在平安夜帮助流浪汉和乞丐们的故事。这些流浪汉和乞丐们都感到十分的意外和温暖，我们由此可推断他们应该是长期given no enough care（被忽视的）原因。这样我们就可以排除a、b、c三项，最后正确答案为d.

阅读理解 节约用水

napoga is a 12-year-old girl in ghana（加纳）， africa. it is hard for her family to get clean water. every morning， she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. it takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily（日常） cooking and drinking. she

has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. millions of people in the world are like napoga. they can‘t get enough clean water to keep healthy.

earth day is april 22. but on all other days， we must also remember it. the water we use is the most important natural resource（自然资源） on the earth. water covers 70% of the earth‘s surface（表面）。 but most of that is sea water. we can’t use it for very many things. fresh water covers only 1% of the earth‘s surface. you probably feel lucky that your life isn‘t as hard as napoga’s. but that doesn‘t mean you don’t have to worry about water. we all face serious water

problems. one of them is water pollution. all kinds of things from cars， factories， farms and homes make our rivers， lakes， and oceans dirty. polluted water is very bad for people to drink. and dirty water is bad for fish， too. now， 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

how do cars and factories make our water dirty？ first， they pollute the air. then， when it rains， the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. dirty rain， called acid rain（酸雨）， is also bad for plants， animals and buildings.

scientists say that in 30 years， more than half of the people in the world won‘t have enough clean water. we have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. here is some advice for saving water：

●turn off the water while you brush your teeth. you can save as much as 450 liters（升） each month.

●leaky taps（漏水的龙头） waste a lot of water. fix them right away！

●you can easily cut your 10-minute showers（沐浴） in half—and you‘ll be just as clean. ●when you wash dishes， don‘t let the water run.

●only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. if your washing machine isn‘t full， you’re wasting water！

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. every morning napoga went to get clean water _______.

a. before she went to schoolb. after she finished school

c without going to schoold. after she played with her friends 2. on the earth， _______.

a. sea water is widely used than fresh water b. there is very little water for our living c. there is 71% of fresh water d. we don‘t need to worry about water 3. acid rain _______.

a. is only bad for living things b. can be produced in factories

c. doesn‘t do harm to people， but it’s bad for plants，animals and buildings d. doesn‘t just do harm to human beings but to ani-mals，plants and buildings 4. which of the following wastes water？

a. we need ten minutes if we want a clean shower.

b. we should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines. c. you can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes. d. don‘t let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes. 5. what‘s the main idea of the passage？

a. something must be done to prevent water form be-ing polluted.

b. clean water means much to human beings and living things around us. c. it‘s time to take care of the water we use.

d. water is the most important natural resource on the earth. 「答案与解析」

1. 选c.从第1段中的句子she has no time to go to school可知，她根本没有去上学。故选c. 2. 选b.短文第3段中介绍了全球70%被水覆盖，但只有1%才是饮用淡水。而世界上的很多国家和地区都缺水。所以选b项，即我们的生活用水很少。

3. 选d.由第5段中的句子dirty rain， called acid rain， is also bad for plants animals and buildings.可知，acid rain（酸雨）的危害很大。 故答案选d.

4. 选a.a选项与c选项相互矛盾，则必有一个为正确选项。而从第3点建议（advice）可知，你可以沐浴只须五分钟来节约用水，若用10分钟则是浪费水。故选a.

5. 选c.读完全文我们知道地球上的水资源有限，所以大家都要节约用水。故选c.

阅读理解 她用爱创造奇迹

an eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. all she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

“my brother andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. so how much does a miracle cost？” “we don‘t sell a miracle here， child. i’m sorry，” the salesman said with a smile.

“listen， if it isn‘t enough， i can try and get some more. just tell me how much it costs.” a well-dressed man heard it and asked， “what kind of a miracle does your brother need？” “i don‘t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “he’s really sick and mum says he needs an opera-tion. but my daddy can‘t pay for it， so i have brought all my money.” “how much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but i can try and get some more，” she

answered.

“well， what luck，” smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers.” he took up the girl‘s hand and said， “take me to where you live. i want to see your brother and meet your parents. let’s see if i have the kind of miracle you need.”

that well-dressed man was dr carlton armstrong， a famous doctor. the operation was 5.选a.因为这个小女孩的家很穷，就是因为支付不起昂贵的医疗费才会有奇迹一说，而最后

小女孩的兄弟确实是康复了，显然医生并没有要求他们家支付医疗费。

successful and it wasn‘t long before andrew was home again. how much did the miracle cost？

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. what was the trouble in the little girl‘s family？

a. her brother was seriously ill. b. they had no money. c. nothing could save her brother.d. both a and b. 2. in the eye of the little girl， a miracle might be _______. a. something interesting b. something beautiful c. some wonderful medicine d. some good food

3. the little girl said again and again “??i can try and get some more.” that shows _______. a. she had still kept some money b. she hoped not to be refused

c. there was no need to worry about money d. she thought money was easy to get 4. what made the miracle happen？

a. the girl‘s love for her brother. b. the girl’s money. c. the medicine from the drugstore. d. nobody can tell. 5. from the passage we can infer （推断） that _______. a. the doctor didn‘t ask for any pay

b. a miracle is sure to happen if you keep on c. the little girl is lovely but not so clever

d. andrew was in fact not so sick as they had thought 「答案与解析」

1. 选 d.根据第1段中的all she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money可知答案。

2. 选c.由于这个小女孩的家很穷，而她的兄弟又病得那样重，所以她的父亲说only a miracle can save him now，小女孩听了之后便翻出她所有的“积蓄”去药店购买miracle，

由此可见，小女孩可能认为miracle是一种什么很神奇的药。注：miracle的实际意思是“奇迹”，only a miracle can save him now的意思是“只有出现奇迹才可能救得了他”。 3. 选b.根据上下文语境，i can try and get some more 后其实省略了money一词，句意为“我会想办法弄更多钱来的”。因为小女孩担心自己的钱不够而买不到miracle，所以反复对药店老板和那位穿着讲究的人说这句话，其意思显然是希望自己不遭到拒绝。

4.选a.根据文章内容，用排除法可知只有选项a最佳。即是这个小女孩对其兄弟的爱感动了著名医生carlton armstrong先生，从而出现“奇迹”，使她的兄弟获救。

阅读理解 浪费可耻

waste can be seen everywhere in the school. some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. they say they can afford these things. but i don‘t agree with them.

waste can bring a lot of problems. although china is rich in some resources（资源）， we are short of（缺乏） others， for example， fresh water（淡水）。 it is reported that we will have no coal（煤） or oil to use in 100 years. so if we go on wasting our resources， what can we use in the future and where can we move？ think about it. i think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.

in our everyday life， we can do many things to prevent waste from happening， for example， turn off the water taps（水龙头） when we finish washing， turn off the lights when we leave the classroom， try not to order more

food than we need， and so on. little by little， everything will be changed. waste can be stopped one day， if we do our best.

◆根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. from the passage we know that some students often _______ in the school. a. eat too much b. don‘t work hard

c. waste things d. throw rubbish everywhere 2. which is not mentioned in this passage？ a. fresh water b. forest. c. oil.d. coal.

a. we may still have enough oil. b. we may still have enough coal. c. we may have a little oil.d. we may have no coal or oil to use. 4. which of the following is right？

a. waste brings problems.b. waste can bring no problem. c. china is rich in fresh water. d. students never waste things. 5. which is the best title of this passage？ a. stop wasting b. school life

c. waste in the schoold. rich resources in china 「答案与解析」

1. 选c.从文章的第1句waste can be seen everywhere in the school.就说明了在学校浪费现象随处可见，故选c.

2. 选b.在第2段中，fresh water， oil， coal均有提及，但forest没有提到。故选b.

3. 选d.由第2段的句子it is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years.可知，在100年后，我们可能没有coal or oil to use.故答案选d.

4. 选a.短文的第2段第1句waste can bring a lot of problems就告诉了我们答案，故选a. 5. 选a.在短文的第1段例举一些浪费现象，引出第2段everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible. 所以stop wasting 为短文的最佳标题。

阅读理解 领养宠物

“well， we‘re in our new house. let’s get a new pet to get along with it，” mrs brown said to her husband.

“that sounds like a pretty good idea，” he answered. “do you want to see the ads in the newspaper？”

“let‘s go to the animal shelter. many pets there need homes. since tomorrow is saturday， we can both go，” she said.

next morning the browns met mr snow at the animal shelter. “we want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes，” mr snow said， “so i need to ask you some questions.”

after they talked for a while， the browns decided to get a small dog. it wouldn‘t need a big house or a big yard. a small dog would bark（吠） and warm them if someone tried to break into their house. after mr snow gave the browns a
