Passage Thirty-two (The Young Generation)

Old people are always saying that the young are not what they were. The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better ecated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the ideals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one that preceded it. Today the difference is very marked indeed.

The old always assume that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don』t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is precisely what the young are doing. They are question the assumptions of their elders and disturbing their complacency. Office hours, for instance, are nothing more than enforced slavery. Wouldn』t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear drab grey suits and convict haircuts? If we ruin our minds to more serious matters, who said that human differences can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means, who said that human difference can best be solved through conventional politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilt-ridden in their personal lives, so obsessed with mean ambitions and the desire to amass more and more material possessions? Can anything be right with the rat-race? Haven』t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?

These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn』t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the young have turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be reversed. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not 『sinful』. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your leisure; to shed restricting inhibitions. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete annihilation. This is their glorious heritage. Can we be surprised that they should so often question the sanity of the generation that bequeathed it?

1. Which of the following features in the young is NOT mentioned?

[A]. Better ecated. [B]. More money and freedom.

[C]. Independence. [D]. Hard work.

2. What so the young reject most?

[A]. Values. [B]. The assumption of the elders.

[C]. Conformity. [C]. Conventional ideas.

3. Why do the young stress on the present?

[A]. They have grown up under the shadow of the bomb.

[B]. They dislike the past.

[C]. They think the present world is the best.

[D]. They are afraid of destruction.

4. What can the old learn from the young generation?

[A]. Enjoyment is not sinful. [B]. People should have more leisure time.

[C]. Men might enjoy life. [D]. One should enjoy one』s work.

Vocabulary

1. reminder 使共回想起某事的東西，提示者

2. complacency 自鳴得意，自滿情結

3. take leave 擅自，任意，隨意

8. amass 積累，積聚

9. a rat-race 激烈的競爭

10. shrug off 對……聳肩表示不屑一理，輕視，擺脫

11. spotless 無污點的，純潔的

12. shed 擺脫，拋棄

13. annihilate 殲滅

14. bequeath 贈送，把……傳給後代

15. sanity 頭腦清醒健全

難句譯注

1. convict haircut. Convict 義：罪犯。罪犯和短發兩字合在一起為「囚犯理的發式」。但在這里其含義根據上下文決定。前面講到「誰說世界上所有的男人都應穿淺灰色的西裝」，後面只能譯成「剪成像罪犯似的短發呢」。本義有haircut義：修理整齊的短發。整齊劃一表示紳士派的工作人中作風正派，認真負責，一絲不苟的精神。作者用了convict罪犯一字表示諷刺：「罪犯也是整齊劃一的短發跟紳士們的要求一樣，難道他們也是作風正派，認真負責，一絲不苟嗎？」

寫作方法與文章大意

這是一篇論及「代溝」的文章。主要採用對比手法，一開始就提出了一個老問題：「老人們經常說年輕人不是從前那樣了。這一評語代代相傳，永遠是對的，而今天比以前任何時候更正確。」下面幾段就論述他們之不同點以及對比老少兩代人的'態度。

答案祥解

1. D. 艱苦工作。這在第一段中第四句「青年一代受了更好教育，有大量的錢話，有更多的自由。他們成長的很快，不那麼依賴於父母，他們獨立思考得更多，不盲目接受老一代的理想……。」

A. 受更好的教育。 B. 更多的錢和自由。 C. 獨立性。這三項均提及到。

2. C. 順從。第二段集中講到這一點。「因為老人們經常認為自己懂得多，理由就是他們經歷得多。他們不喜歡自己的價值觀受到懷疑或威脅。而這正是青年在做的。他們對老人們的設想提出疑問，打亂他們的自鳴得意。他們甚至敢於懷疑老一代創造了世界上可能最佳的社會。他們最反對的莫過於順從。例如：他們說辦公時間就是強制奴役，如果人們完全自由，絕對負責，他們的工作不會更好嗎？而穿衣呢？誰說世界上所有的男人都該穿單調的灰色西裝和剪成像罪犯似的短發？……。」這些詞語都表示他們最反對的東西是遵從，「一致性」。所以

A. 價值。 B. 長者的設想。 D. 傳統習俗觀念。都是具體的某一點。

3. A. 他們在炸彈的陰影下成長。第三段倒數第四句起「由於年輕人是在炸彈戰爭的陰影下成長壯大：在不斷受到全面殲滅的威脅之下，所以也只能期望他們重視目前。這是他們的光榮遺產。他們經常詢問贈給他們遺產的這代人的頭腦是否清醒。對此我們能表示驚訝嗎？」遺產指的是第二段的種種問題所體現出來的東西，如：「誰說人類之差異能通過常規政策或暴力手段予以很好的解決？為什麼老一代人常用暴力來解決他們的問題？為什麼他們（老一代）個人生活那麼不愉快。老有負罪感？為什麼老糾纏於要積聚越來越多的物質財富？……。」

B. 他們不喜歡過去。 C. 他們認為現世界是最好的。 D. 他們害怕破壞。

4. A. 享受不是犯罪。這在第三段中間「老年人——如果他們准備承認的話——可以從他們的孩子們那裡學到一兩件事。他們能學的最大的課堂之一是享受不是犯罪。」「享受」是人可適用於生活各個方面的原則。從工作中獲得樂處，享受閑暇時間，肯定不是錯誤。拋棄約束限制，生活在現在而不是生活在過去肯定也不是錯。

B. 人們應有更多的閑暇。 C. 人可以享受生活。 D. 一個人應當享受工作。

閱讀理解【1】

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes.

This means that they can make them indivial(個體的);they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most house have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the indivial.

People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train?have you marked the space around yourself as your? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.

Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communications o I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!

If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?

Do you know why different animals or insects(昆蟲)have their special colors? Colors are used mainly to protect themselves.

Why can’t some birds easily catch locusts(蝗蟲)? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(莊稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other insects with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives in the day and appear only at night.

If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals can’t be easily seen by hunters(獵人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.

Have you ever noticed an even more strange thing? A kind of fish in the sea can send out black liquid(液體)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over(散開), its enemies(敵人)can’t find it. And it quickly swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.

Finding the right people

When a small company grows, managers must take on many new roles. Besides the day-to-day running of the business, they find themselves responsible for, among other things, relations with outside investors, increased levels of cashflow and, hardest of all, recruitment.

For most managers of small and medium-sized enterprises, the job of searching for, interviewing and selecting staff is difficult and time-consuming. (0) ... .G... . Interviewing, for example, is a highly skilled activity in itself.

'We have found the whole process very hard,' says Dan Baker, founding partner of a PR company. '橋山In seven years we have grown from five to eighteen staff, but we have not found it easy to locate and recruit the right people.' (8).........As Dan Baker explains, 'We went to one for our first recruitment drive, but they took a lot of money in advance and didn't put forward anybody suitable. In the end we had to do it ourselves.'

Most recruitment decisions are based on a pile of CVs, a couple of short interviews and two cautious references. David Rowe, a business psychologist, studied how appointments were made in five small companies. He claims that selection was rarely based on clear criteria. (9).........This kind of approach to recruitment often has unhappy consequences for both employers and new recruits.

Small companies often know what kind of person they are looking for. (10)......... According to David Rowe, this means that small company managers themselves have to devote more time and energy to recruitment. It shouldn't be something that is left to the evenings or weekends.

Many companies start the recruitment process with over-optimistic ideas about the type of person that will fit into their team. 'It's very easy to say you must have the best people in the top positions,' says Alex Jones, managing partner of an executive recruitment company. 'But someone who is excellent in one company may not do so well in another environment.(11).........You can never guarantee a successful transfer of skills.'

Whatever the candidate's qualifications, their personal qualities are just as important since they will have to integrate with existing members of staff. This is where, the recruitment instry argues, they can really help.

According to Alex Jones, 'A good recruitment agency will visit your company and ask a lot of questions. (12).........They can ask applicants all sorts of questions you don't like to ask and present you with a shortlist of people who not only have the skills, but who are likely to fit in with your company's way of doing things.'

A finance director in a big company, for example, will often make a terrible small company finance director because he or she is used to having a team doing the day-to-day jobs.

B More often than not, the people making the choice prioritised different qualities in candidates or relied on guesswork.

C Recruitment would seem an obvious task to outsource, but the company's experience of recruitment agencies was not encouraging.

D They need paying for that, of course, but you will have them working for you and not for the candidate.

E They are usually in very specific markets and the problem they face is that recruitment agencies may not really understand the sector.

F This means that companies cannot spend more than the standard ten minutes interviewing each applicant.

G Yet few are trained and competent for all aspects of the task

Finding the right people，尋找合適的人。是說的小公司在起步發展階段找到合適人才的難度和重要性。第一段總論小公司的經理們往往身兼數職，而其中最有難度的，還是招人。 文章 介紹了找到合適的人應該注意的問題，並且說招人這種事不可能過度寄希望於招聘機構。

第八題，這一題的前面說招人相當的困難，後面一個as Dan Baker explains，說曾經找過招聘機構，結果人家要提前收錢並且也沒有提供合適的人，最後還是得靠自己。從這里的as …explains和後面的解釋可以看出，第八空的內容應該是和招聘機構有關，招聘機構並不能滿足公司的需要。選項C正好滿足這一特點：招聘看起來像是個很明顯的適合交外辦理的任務，但是這個公司同招聘機構打交道的經歷不那麼的鼓舞人。was not encouraging是關鍵點。

第九題，這一段都是講招人的決策不夠科學。基於 簡歷 或者是簡短的 面試 ，很少有明確的准則。第九空的後面是This kind of approach to recruitment often has unhappy consequences。可見第九空的內容還是和招聘的 方法 有關，並且是負面的。B選項符合這一條件：通常(more often than not是often的意思，插入語)，做決定的人將候選人身上的不同素質按優先順序給排好，或者依賴於猜測。

第十題，這一題的後面說this means the small company managers themselves have to devote more time and energy to recruitment。這意味著小公司自己要多花時間和精力在招人上。這里的this means的this是個暗示，可以看出第十題這里應該填入的是一些不太有利的因素，使得公司只有自己去招人。E選項符合這一要求：他們通常處於一些特殊市場上，面臨的問題是招聘機構並不真正理解這一行業。

第十一題，這一段是講招的人能否適應公司的環境的問題。這一空前面說的很明確：But someone who is excellent in one company may not do so well in another environment。在一個公司出色的人並不一定能在另一個環境里乾的好。這一空的後面一句也是補充說明這一觀點的。可見第十一空的內容仍然是這個，沒有轉折。A選項填入正好，是舉例說明11空前面的觀點：比方說，一個大公司的財務總監在小公司往往會乾的很糟糕，原因是他或她已經習慣有一個團隊來進行每日的工作。

第十二題，最後一段是和招聘機構相關的。前面說招聘機構會上門服務並且詢問很多的問題。這一空的後面說的是招聘機構如何幫助招人。選項D可以填入，D的They need paying for that的that是個暗示，指代前面的上門服務。D選項的後半部分說要讓招聘公司為你而不是為候選人服務，可以和這一段的後半部分對應上。

Department Store Magic

For most of the 20th century Smithson's was one of Britain's most successful department stores, but by the mid-1990s, it had become ll. Still profitable, thanks largely to a series of successful advertising campaigns, but decidedly boring. The famous were careful not to be seen there, and its sales staff didn't seem to have changed since the store opened in 1908. Worst of all, its customers were buying fewer and fewer of its own-brand procts,the major part of its business, and showing a preference for more fashionable brands.

But now all this has changed, thanks to Rowena Baker, who became Smithson's first woman Chief Executive three years ago. Since then, while most major retailers in Britain have been losing money, Smithson's profits have been rising steadily. When Baker started, a lot of improvements had just been made to the building, without having any effect on sales, and she took the bold decision to invite one of Europe's most exciting interior designers to develop the fashion area, the heart of the store. This very quickly led to rising sales, even before the goods on display were changed. And as sales grew, so did profits.

Baker had ambitious plans for the store from the start. 'We're playing a big game, to prove we're up there with the leaders in our sector, and we have to make sure people get that message. Smithson's had fallen behind the competition. It provided a traditional service targeted at middle-aged, middle-income customers, who'd been shopping there for years, and the customer base was graally contracting. Our idea is to sell such an exciting variety of goods that everyone will want to come in, whether they plan to spend a little or a lot.' Baker's vision for the store is clear, but achieving it is far from simple. At first, many employees resisted her improvements because they just wouldn't be persuaded that there was anything wrong with the way they'd always done things, even if they accepted that the store had to overtake its competitors. It took many long meetings, involving the entire workforce, to win their support. It helped when they realised that Baker was a very different kind of manager from the ones they had known.

Baker's staff policies contained more surprises. The uniform that had hardly changed since day one has now disappeared. Moreover, teenagers now get young shop assistants, and staff in the sports departments are themselves sports fans in trainers. As Baker explains, 'How can you sell jeans if you're wearing a black suit? Smithson's has a new identity, and this needs to be made clear to the customers.' She's also given every sales assistant responsibility for ensuring customer satisfaction, even if it means occasionally breaking company rules in the hope that this will help company profits.

Rowena Baker is proving successful, but the City's big investors haven't been persuaded. According to retail analyst, John Matthews, 'Money had already been invested in refurbishment of the store and in fact that led to the boost in sales. She took the credit, but hadn't done anything to achieve it. And in my view the company's shareholders are not convinced. The fact is that unless she opens several more stores pretty soon, Smithson's profits will start to fall because turnover at the existing store will inevitably start to decline.'

13 According to the writer, in the mid-1990s Smithson's department store

A was making a loss.

B had a problem keeping staff.

C was unhappy with its advertising agency.

D mostly sold goods under the Smithson's name.

14 According to the writer, Smithson's profits started rising three years ago because of

A an improvement in the retailing sector.

B the previous work done on the store.

C Rowena Baker's choice of designer.

D a change in the procts on sale.

15 According to Rowena Baker, one problem which Smithson's faced when she joined was that

A the number of people using the store was falling slowly.

B its competitors offered a more specialised range of procts.

C the store's prices were set at the wrong level.

D customers were unhappy with the service provided.

16 According to the writer, many staff opposed Baker's plans because

A they were unwilling to change their way of working.

B they disagreed with her goals for the store.

C they felt they were not consulted enough about the changes.

D they were unhappy with her style of management.

17 Baker has changed staff policies because she believes that

A the corporate image can be improved through staff uniforms.

B the previous rules were not fair to customers.

C customers should be able to identify with the staff serving them.

D employees should share in company profits.

18 What problem does John Matthews think Smithson's is facing?

A More money needs to be invested in the present store.

B The company's profits will only continue to rise if it expands.

C The refurbishment of the store is proving unpopular with customers.

D Smithson's shareholders expect a quick return on their investments.

《Department store magic》，字面上是百貨公司的魔力。講的是英國的一個百貨公司如何擺脫困境。第一段是點明公司所遭遇的困境，接著第二段講一個女CEO上台開始轉變局面，第三段和第四段具體講這位女CEO的應對 措施 ，最後一段 總結 ：革命尚未成功，同志仍需努力。

13題，問在90年代中期這個百貨公司的情況是什麼樣的。答案是第一段的最後一句：its customers were buying fewer and fewer of its own-brand procts, the major part of its business, and showing a preference for more fashionable brands.這個題目的答案有相當的迷惑性。整個 句子 都是在講客戶購買的越來越少，偏好更多的時尚品牌。所以很容易誤選A，但實際上這里並沒有說虧損。關鍵是這個地方：its own-brand procts, the major part of its business。自由品牌仍然是公司業務的主要部分。所以應該選D：主要銷售Smithson名下的產品。Under the Smithson』s name也就是its own brand procts。

14題，問Smithson的利潤從三年前開始增長，原因是什麼。答案是第二段的這么一句：she took the bold decision to invite one of Europe's most exciting interior designers to develop the fashion area她做出了一個大膽的決定，邀請了歐洲最刺激的室內設計師來開發時尚領域。後面緊接著就說This very quickly led to rising sales，所以答案選C：Rowena Baker的設計師選擇。

15題，問當Rowena Baker加入時公司面臨的一個問題是什麼。這題的關鍵是要理解一個句子中一個詞的含義：It provided a traditional service targeted at middle-aged, middle-income customers, who'd been shopping there for years, and the customer base was graally contracting.。它提供的傳統服務目標人群是中年中等收入者，這些人已經在那購物多年。並且客戶基數逐漸減少。Contracting:縮小，收縮的意思。所以答案選A。

16題，問很多員工反對Baker計劃的原因是什麼。答案是這么一句：many employees resisted her improvements because they just wouldn't be persuaded that there was anything wrong with the way they'd always done things。不願意被說服他們以前做事情的方式有什麼問題。意思也就是不願意改變他們工作的方式。選A。

17題，問Baker改變員工政策的原因是什麼。答案在第四段，Baker的原話：How can you sell jeans if you're wearing a black suit? Smithson's has a new identity, and this needs to be made clear to the customers。你怎麼能穿著黑西服賣牛仔?Smithson有一個新的身份，這些必須對客戶很明確。也就是C選項說的「客戶必須能辨別出服務他們的員工」，A不對，沒有提到改善公司形象，B和C在原文沒有提到。

18題，問John認為Smithson面臨的問題是什麼。答案是最後一段的最後一句：The fact is that unless she opens several more stores pretty soon, Smithson's profits will start to fall because turnover at the existing store will inevitably start to decline.事實上除非她盡快的開更多的店，Smithson的利潤將會減少因為現有商店的營業額將不可避免的開始下降。也就是B所說的除非擴張，公司的利潤才會繼續增長。

Managing a career on the way up is quite different from managing one at the top of an organisation.

You may be planning to remain under his or her guidance in the future. None of these (26)should alter your relationship with your manager or (27) you off 'managing upwards'.

32 A advantage B benefit C side D behalf

33 A posts B roles C positions D acts

Managing upwards，打理同上司的關系。

19題，report to，對什麼。。。負責，隸屬;從屬。用在這里句子意思正好：處於上升階段的個人需要同他們所從屬的人處理好關系。A、B的詞後面都接of，account to 是解釋的意思，用在這里意思不對。

20題，聯系此空上下文，應該是說處理與下屬的關系。deal with後接somebody是表示處理和某人的關系。A、B意思不對，C是及物動詞，後面不需要with。

21題，promote促進，推動。promote the idea，推動某個想法。

22題，根據意思選詞。處理與上司的關系不需要比上司更聰明。其他幾個詞用在此處的話都有些怪異，很容易排除。

23題，respect，指方面。與aspect同義。常見的用法。

24題，這個空要聯繫上下文，並且參考後面的guide。「he or she may have taught you almost everything you know」，也就是說TA會對你的工作進行很多指導，因為有taught，所以不是supporter或者helper，選leader又感覺拉遠了距離，因此選adviser。

25題，一個讓人頭疼的商業英語固定片語。line of business，有業務和經營產品的意思。提供幾個例句就很好理解含義了：

We specialize in this line of business我們專門經營此項服務;

Does this item come under your line of business? 我想知道這種產品屬您經營的范圍嗎?

You meet some very interesting people in my line of business干我們這行，你會遇到很多有趣的人。

26題，根據前後文意思，選factors，因素。

27題，put off一般表示延遲，但它還有一個不太出名的意思是阻礙。see off，送行;keep off,遠離;take off，起飛。

28題，根據意思選refer to，提及，描述。

29題，react to，固定搭配，對什麼作出反應。用在這里意思也吻合。

30題，the most successful way to (30) your working life，意思上應該填入表示經營、管理等的意思，run有這個意思。C和D用法不對，forward something是指轉發郵件。

31題，appreciation，，表示感激之情。

32題，on one』s behalf，站在某人的立場上，為某人的利益。此處的意思是對他為你所做出的努力表示感激。

33題，role，職能，角色。為經理騰出空來扮演其他的角色。position是位置，位置一直是經理，沒別的;act是行為，法案。

閱讀理解【1】

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time. In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉的)door. When it does, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1. Those who have big houses may often feel ________.

A. happy B. lonely C. free D. excited

2. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will ________.

A. laugh at you B. play jokes on you

C. quarrel with you D. help you up

3. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?

A. Oh, so do I. B. Congratulations.

C. Good luck. D. It’s just so-so.

4. Which idea is NOT RIGHT according to the passage?

A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.

B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towards you.

5. Which of the following is this passage about?

A. Bad luck. B. Good luck. C. Happiness. D. Life.

1. B。這是一個考查細節和事實的.題目。文章中有明確的敘述：Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely…. 所問問題和原文的敘述完全一樣。

2. D。這也是一個考查細節和事實的題目。在所給文章中可以找到這樣地敘述：When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you. 根據這一敘述，我們可以判斷：當你在體育課上摔倒時，你的老師和同學們肯定會幫你站起來的。

3. B。這一道閱讀理解題同樣是考查事實和細節的題目。在閱讀文章里我們也能找到關於這問題的敘述：when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you.

4. A。這是一道判斷題目。閱讀文章里明確敘述：those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.閱讀理解題的A項說，有車的人永遠不願在室外走，與文章所講完全不同，因此是不對的。

5. C。這是一道考查文章主題的題目。這篇文章共有三段。 第一段的主題句是：Happiness is for everyone. 第二段的主題句是：In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. 第三段的主題句是：Happiness is not the same as money. 三段的主題都是圍繞happiness展開的，所以正確答案是happiness。

閱讀理解【2】

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.

Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鯨魚). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.

For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鯊魚) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”

About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up.

So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

1. Bill and Simone were traveling _______ when they met some whales.

A. in a life-raft B. in Miami

C. in Simony D. in Panama

2. The whales hit the side of the boat, and then _______.

A. they brought in a lot of water

B. they broke the side of the boat

C. they pulled the boat

D. they went under the water

3. After their boat sank, the couple _______.

A. jumped into the life-raft

B. heard water

C. watched the boat go under water

D. stayed in the life-raft

4. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives.

A. tins of food and bottles of water

B. a fishing-line and a machine

C. whales and sharks

D. Twenty passing ships

5. When they saw the fishing boat which later picked them up, _______.

A. they were too excited to stand up

B. they couldn’t wait to climb onto the boat

C. their life-raft was beginning to break up

D. they knew their two months at sea would be over

【答案與解析】這是一篇關於一對夫婦如何遇到海難，然後在海上的救生艇上生活了66天後獲救的小故事。

1. C。在第二自然段的第1句就告訴我們they left Panama, Simony, they met some whales 說他們是在Simony 旅遊時遇見Whales.

2. B。我們從第二自然段得知They started to hit the side of the boat,也就是說是the whales broke the side of the boat。

3. D。在他們的船沉沒之後，the couple是一直待在船上直至獲救的，而不是一直都在jumped into the life-raft。

4. B。根據第3段的第2句They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water-two things which saved their lives可知：a fishing-line 和 a machine救了他們的命。

5. D。由最後一段After fifty days at sea...我們知道：the couple是太虛弱所以不能站起來，是由船長carried them onto his boat, 而救生艇早在出事後的50天就壞掉了，而不是獲救當天壞的，所以A、B、C都可以排除，D項為正確選項。

閱讀理解【3】

Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge(龐大的)clock in London. London is the capital of England. This clock has four faces. So，no matter where you stand，you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double decker(層)bus. The hands are about four metres long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London，you may want to visit the Houses of Parliament(國會大廈). There you will find Big Ben sits at the top of the clock tower(塔)in the Houses of Parliament. Maybe you will hear it as well as see it. The huge clock makes such a loud noise. "Ding dong，ding dong，"it goes every quarter of an hour.

The clock was named after a big man. He was Sir Benjamin Hall. This man did much building work in London many years ago.

1. Big Ben is ______________.

A. a double decker bus B. a huge clock

C. the name of Ben D. a building

2. The clock strikes every _______ of an hour.

A. ten minutes B. fifteen minutes

C. thirty minutes D. forty-five minutes

3. You can read the time of Big Ben _________.

A. at the top of the clock tower

B. in the Houses of parliament

C. on the hands of the huge clock

D. on the four faces of the clock

答案及解析：

1.選B，根據第一行Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge(龐大的)clock in London.可以判斷Big Ben是一個大鍾的名字。

2.選B，根據文中"Ding dong，ding dong，" it goes every quarter of an hour. 即可得知大鍾每15分鍾敲一次。

3.選D，This clock has four faces. So，no matter where you stand，you can read the time on the face of Big Ben.其他三項均不符合題意。

初中英語閱讀理解強化訓練及答案

英語閱讀理解的主旨大意題，主要考查學生對文章主題或中心思想的領會和理解能力。下面是我整理的英語閱讀理解題，歡迎大家閱讀!

閱讀理解【1】

If you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends—let them find you by staying in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信號) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.

Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (槍聲). When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house---cover up to the holes with branches (樹枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.

What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little house to look for a river. Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

1.If you lost in the forest, you should _______.

A.stay where you are and give signals three times

B.walk around the forest and shout so that your friends could hear you

C.try to find your friends as soon as possible

D.try to get out of the forest and shout for help

2.If you want to let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun, you should _______.

A. tell people that you are lost B. keep up shouting or whistling

C. shout at the top of your voice D. shout or whistle three times

3.When you hear two shouts, or whistles, or gunshots, __________.

A. you should shout more loudly B. you can whistle three times

C. it is an answer to your call for help D. you should try to run to them

4.When you want to leave your place to get drinking water, you should ________.

A.just go to the river

B. find some glasses or bottles before you go

C. make a fire so that you can have some tea

D. leave marks so that you can find your way back

5.This passage mainly tells you __________.

A.when you hear a signal always three times, it is a call for help

B.What you should do if you get lost in a forest

C.any signal given twice means an answer to a call for help

D.how you can live longer in a forest

如果一個人在森林中迷了路，他該怎麼辦呢?本文講述了一個很重要的方法：原地不動，讓別人來找你。為了讓附近的人盡快發現你處於困境，你可以大喊三聲或者吹三聲口哨。在別人找到你之前，你還應當學會自我保護。比如怎樣做飯或者搭建一張床等。

參考答案：

1.A “Sit down and stay where you are.”和“Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times.”是解答本小題的關鍵句子。

2.D 該題的答案源自“Keep up shouting or whistling always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun.”一句中。

3.C “They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots. When someone gives you a signal, it is an answer to a call for help.”是答案的出處。

4.D 根據“Don’t just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.”可知“當你離開原地去找水喝時，不要徑直走開，要在路上留下標記，以便能找到回到原地方的路。”

5.B 由文章末句“The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.”和開頭的“…this is what you should do.”可不難得出答案。

閱讀理解【2】

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毀) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破壞) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.

“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”

Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

閱讀理解【3】

Is there anything more important than health? I don't think so. “Health is the greatest wealth (財富),” wise people say. You can't be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.

If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure (血壓), I think you should go to the doctor.

The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed.

After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.

Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can't help telling you a funny story.

An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.

He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked much more cheerful and much happier. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.

“But you know, doctor,” the man went on saying, “it's not easy to begin smoking at my age.”

1.The writer thinks that.

A. health is more important than wealth B. work is as important as studies

C. medicine is more important than pleasure D. nothing is more important than money

2.The doctor usually tells his patient what to do.

A. without examining the patient B. after he has examined the patient

C. if the patient doesn't take medicine D. unless the patient feels pain

3.The underlined part means “”.

A. he was feeling better than ever B. he wasn't a healthy man

C. he was feeling worse than before D. he will be well again

4.From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.

A. was a heavy smoker B. didn't smoke so much

C. didn't smoke D. began to learn to smoke

5.Which of the following is NOT TRUE?

A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.

B. The man told the doctor he couldn't remember things.

C. The man thanked the doctor.

D. The man didn't follow the doctor’s advice

短文作者從“健康是最大的財富”這句話談起。沒有一個好的身體，學習和工作就沒有保證。如果你感到不舒服時，就應當去看醫生，醫生會仔細給你做檢查，然後就建議你吃點葯。作者在短文最後還講了一個醫生給病人建議時發生的一個幽默故事。

參考答案：

1.A 文章首句即點明主旨，意即“健康比財富更重要”。

2.B “After that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine.”是該題答案的出處。

3.A 短文倒數第二段是本小題答案的出處。

4.C 由文章最末一句可知這位紳士是說“象我這樣年齡的人開始學吸煙真是不容易”，由 “The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day.”可聯想到醫生誤認為他抽煙過多，而建議他每天抽煙不超過一支。答案不攻自破。

5.D 根據上一個小題及這位紳士第二次來看大夫的精神狀態，可知他聽從了醫生的建議。

When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China. One day the topic turned to saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,”they answered.

“How do you know ?”was my logical question. They responded that their mons cooked and always told them what they were doing wrong to show their caring. I was stunned .So mon’s cooking and criticzing read out as “I love you ”. “Then how do you say ‘I love you ’to her?” They agreed that getting good grades, followed by god jobs would be how they showed their love.

I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in classes over time. Graally, I began to get different response. Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.

One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(擁抱)her. This had never happened before, but her mom said, “Now that you have gone I have more time to myself. I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

In my family we all say “I love you” a lot .While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other. Those three little words carry a world of meaning ,even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the last words we say to or hear from those we love.

1.The foreign teacher_______.

A. comes from America

B. is a young woman

C. is expressive enough

D. knows much about China

2.Chinese people prefer to show love by________.

A. saying “I love you”

B. cooking

C. getting good grades

D. doing something helpful;

3.In paragraph 4,what’s the real meaning of the mom’s hugging?

A. She is meeting her daughter at the door.

B. She loves her daughter and misses her.

C. She is glad that she has more time to herself

D. he finds it interesting to hug her daughter.

4.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Say “I love you”more to your family.

B. Say “I love you”a lot to Chinese people .

C. Say “I love you”as a greeting to others.

D. Say “I love you”without great depth of feelings.

閱讀理解【3】

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs(細菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes，but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and st. If you cut your finger，if some of the st from the floor goes into the cut(割開處)，some of the germs would go into your finger.
