§6.3 阅读理解

A

“The pen is more powerful than the sword.”There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong.Mrs.Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.

She was born in the U.S.A.in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world,and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race.The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

This book that shook the world was called“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.There was time when every English-speaking man,woman,and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.Not many people read it today,but it is still very interesting.The book has shown us how a warmhearted writer can arouse(唤起)people’s sympathies(同情).The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave.The Southern Americans were very angry at the book,which they said did not at all represent(描述)true state of affairs,but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.

1.According to the passage_________.

A.every English-speaking person has read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin

B.“Uncle Tom’s Cabin” was not very interesting

C.those who don’t speak English cannot have read “Uncle Tom’s Cabin

D.the book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” did a great deal in the American Civil War

[解析]此题考查中心归纳。“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”不仅震惊了世界,而且成为美国内战爆发的一条导火线;它对黑奴的解放作出了很大贡献。

答案:D

2.How old was Mrs.Harriet Beecher Stowe when her world famous book was published?

A.About sixty years old.

B.Over fifty years old.

C.In her forties.

D.Around twenty years old.

[解析]此题考查细节推理。Beecher Stowe生于1811年,此书出版在美国内战爆发前(即1861年前),故该书出版时她应为四十多岁。

答案:C

3.What do you learn about Mrs.Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?

A.She had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War broke out.

B.She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war to set the slaves free.

C.She was better as writing as swinging(挥舞)a sword.

D.She had once been a slave

[解析]此题考查细节事实。“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”向世人披露了黑奴所受的非人的虐待;但作者本人却从未去过南方;她也不是黑奴。

答案:A

4.Why could Mrs.Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book cause a civil war in America?

A.She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.

B.She disclosed the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.

C.The southern Amercians hated the book while the northern Americans like it.

D.The book had been read by many Americans.

答案:B

5.What can we learn from the passage?

A.We needn’t use weapons(武器)to fight things that are wrong.

B.A writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.

C.We must understand the importance of literature(文学) and art.

D.No war can be won without such a book as“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”.

[解析]此题考查综合推理能力。作者举“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”,此例的目的在于证明“The pen is more important than the sword.”;在于证实文学、艺术对某事件发生、发展的影响;由此得知,作者的目的在于呼吁人们重视文学、艺术的重要性。

答案:C

B

A Victory in the News

On May 29,1973,Thomas Bradley,a black man,was elected mayor(市长)of Los Angeles.Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States,with a population of three million.About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States.Here is how one major newspaper reported the event:LOS ANGELES ELECT BRADLEY MAYOR

UNSEATING YORTY

BLACK WINS

56% OF VOTES

Bradley called his victory over Yorty“the fulfilment(实现)of a dream”.During his childhood and youth people had kept telling him.“You can’t do this,you can’t go there,because you’re a Negro.”Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the city’s mayor for three terms.Bradley had won 56.3 percent of the votes;Yorty had won 43.7 percent.

Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him,the son of a poor farmer from Texas,he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940.During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night.He was elected to the city council ten years ago.

At the time of the Los Angeles election three other American cities already had black mayors,but none of those cities had as large a population as Los Angeles.Besides,the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger.Cleveland.Ohio,was thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967.In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary,Indiana,which was fifty-five percent black.In Newwark,New Jersey,sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970.Thus the election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.

In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate.Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles.Four years ago Bradley lost the mayoral election to Yorty.This time Bradley won.

1.The fact that Thomas Bradley was elected mayor of Los Angeles meant that _________.

A.Bradley’s dream had become true

B.the blacks began to be recognized as important leader in American society

C.he was supported mainly by the blacks

D.the blacks began to win victory over the whites

[解析]原文第三段的第一句明确说到:Bradley called his victory over Yorty the fulfillment of a dream.

答案:A

2.In the author’s opinion,it was surprising that _________.

A.the white would vote for a black mayor

B.a black mayor would be elected in such a large city

C.a black from a poor farmer’s family could be elected mayor of Los Angeles

D.there would be so many black mayors

[解析]第五段中:在Bradley之前,曾有数位黑人当选为市长,而他们所在的城市中的黑人所占比例也是相当大。Cleveland:36%,Gary:55%,Newwark:60%。因此,他们当选为市长不足为奇。而在Los Angeles,这个美国第三大城市,黑人只占到16%,Bradley能当选为市长,依作者之见,应是一件令人吃惊的事情。

答案:B

3.From the passage we can infer that people _________.

A.voted for Bradley because of his black color

B.didn’t care much about his color when they voted

C.voted for him to give him a chance to fulfill his dream

D.voted for Bradley because they trusted him

[解析]可从文章最后一段的第一句得出此答案。

答案:D

4.Bradley hit the front page headline for _________.

A.he was the first black mayor in history

B.he was the first black mayor in the south of USA

C.he was the first mayor of one of the largest cities in USA

D.a poor farmer’s son could also win an important election

答案:C

5.From Bradley’s victory in the election we can see that _________.

A.blacks had equal rights as whites in the USA

B.black people’s situation began to be improving much more than before

C.one can be successful through hard work in US no matter what color you are

D.it is sure that someday US will have a black president

Benjamin  Banneker was born a few months before another great American—George Washington.Benjamin was black,but he was not a slave.He and his mother and his grandmother were free.Benjamin’s grandmother came from England.In America she got a job and worked for many years to pay for her boat trip across the ocean.After working many more years,she saved enough money to buy a farm.Benjamin lived with her for a while.She taught him to read and write and do arithmetic(算术).

Benjamin’s neighbors knew that he was clever.They were not surprised when he built a large wooden clock.He made each piece after studying a small pocket watch.The clock made him famous,for it was one of the first clocks built in America.People from other places began to send hard problems of all kinds for Benjamin to settle.

Thomas Jefferson learned of Benjamin Banneker’s ability(能力)to settle hard problems.He asked Banneker to help build the city that was to be the capital of the United States—Washington,D.C.

Banneker worked hard on the plans for the city.He marked where the  streets and buildings—the Capital(国会大厦),the White House,and many others—should be built.

Later,L’Enfant,the Frenchman who had designed the new city,had a quarrel,and went back to France in anger.He took all of the plans with him.The workmen couldn’t build without any plans to follow.

For a while it seemed that the plans for the capital might have to be changed.But Benjamin Banneker remembered the plans he had helped draw.He drew each again just as he once had built each piece of his clock.

If it weren’t for Benjamin Banneker,Washington,D.C.might look very different from the way it does today.

A.he made one of the first clocks in America

B.he used to be an assistant to L’Enfant,who had designed the city Washington

C.he designed the city Washington when L’Enfant left

D.he was able to build the city Washington  as L’Enfant left with his plans

[解析]该题为推理判断题。从文中If it weren’t for Benjamin Banneker,Washington D.C.might look very different from the way it does today.可分析,D为正确答案。

答案:D

2.When Banneker built a large wooden clock,_________.

A.people in America showed no surprise

B.his name spread all over America

C.he became the first man in America to build a clock

D.people came from  other places to congratulate him

答案:B

American parents usually think that their child should not have more pocket money than the children with whom he regularly connects,even if they are wealthier.But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family,heavy responsibilities(责任),or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary(惯例的)in the neighborhood.

Whatever the pocket money is,its entire use is not controlled by the parents,because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a seven-year-old child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up,he gets no idea what the real use for the money is.He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear.The idea of a bank account(帐号)is too early for so small a child,although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins—not all of them,only a part of what he receives—to buy something he especially wants.By the time he is eight he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account.Parents may take him to the bank,open a savings account for him,and encourage him to put a certain quantity  of any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry(存入)is made.He will be saving,earning,and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friends.The boy who can’t join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while,because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him,is a sorry child.

1.What do you think a piggy bank is?

A.It is a kind of bank run by children.

B.It is something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.

C.It is a certain place in which pigs are raised.

D.It is a bank whose building looks like a pig.

[解析]根据常识,小孩儿的硬币常放在储蓄罐中,piggy意为“like a pig”(像猪样的),所以此处指“猪形钱罐”。

答案:B

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.Most of the rich people in America give children much pocket money.

B.American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight.

C.American parents seldom care for their children’s spending money.

D.American children begin to learn how to manage money when very young.

[解析]根据文章第二段,知道作者主要阐述美国小孩怎样从小学理财的。

答案:D

3.Suppose an 8-year-old child receives 10 dollars as his birthday gift,he may probably _________.

A.spend the money on the things he wants

B.compare the gift with that of his friend

C.have most of it saved in the bank

D.put all the money in his piggy bank

答案:C

4.Why does the writer think the boy is a sorry one if he saves every cent he gets or earns?

A.He can not manage his money and keeps himself in an unfavorable position.

B.He can not join the fellows in a sweet shop once in a while.

C.He can not learn the use of money through spending it himself.

D.He can not have any other choice but save,earn or spend money.

[解析]作者认为“通过积攒、挣、花”钱,孩子才能学会理财且和朋友相处愉快;只攒钱而不花一个子儿也不是件令人愉悦的事,不会受到朋友的赏识。

答案:A
