【题目】The writer Margaret Mitchell is best known for writing Gone with the Wind, first published in 1936. Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.
Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”
The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump ” .
Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
【1】The book Gone with the Wind was _________.
A. first published on a newspaper B. awarded ten Academy Awards
C. written in “The Dump” D. adapted from a movie
【2】The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_________.
A. be very pleased with B. show great respect for
C. be much taller than D. show little interest in
【3】Why did Ms. Mitchell stop working as a reporter according to the passage?
A. Because she was rich enough. B. Because she was injured then.
C. Because her husband didn’t like it. D. Because she wanted to write books.
【4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.
B. Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.
C. An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.
D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】C
【3】B
【4】D
【解析】这是一篇介绍说明类文章。本文通过作者对《乱世佳人》作者Margaret Mitchell故居的参观,讲述了Margaret Mitchell生前的相关事迹。
【1】细节理解题。由第一段中的“Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta, Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life”和倒数第二段中的“They made fun of the small apartment by calling it ‘The Dump’”可知, Margaret Mitchell是在其故居中写的Gone with wind,而Margaret Mitchell将其戏称为The Dump,故可推知C选项切题。
【2】词义猜测题。由第二段中的“She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself”可知,Margaret Mitchell只有大约1.5米高,(照片上)的年轻人比她高,但是她看上去非常快乐,非常自信。故该画线部分的意思为“比……高”,故B选项正确。
【3】细节理解题。由第二段中的“She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child”和最后一段中的“Around 1926...was at home healing after an injury...She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success”可知,Margaret Mitchell小时候就开始写故事。她26岁受伤后在家休养期间,阅读了很多书之后,然后写了Gone with wind。故结合选项可知,Margaret Mitchell成年后还对写作有很大的兴趣。故B选项正确。
【4】标题归纳题。本文通过作者对《乱世佳人》作者Margaret Mitchell故居的参观,讲述了Margaret Mitchell生前的相关事迹。故D选项最适合做该文标题。
【名师点拨】细节理解题主要针对文章中的某个细节进行考查。比较简单的细节理解题直接就可以在原文找到答案,有的甚至是原文原话。较难的细节理解题往往会对题干或者选项中的词汇做一些同义,反义,近义词,句式等的转换。这对学生的理解能力提出了较高的要求。同学们在此类题中,一定要抓住事件发生的时间,地点,发展过程或者结局等环节,所选答案一定要符合原文,切不可望文生义。例如,第1小题中,A选项:文中没有被提到;B选项:由这本书改变的电影赢得了奥斯卡金像奖,并非这本书赢得该奖项;C选项:Margaret Mitchell故居就是她居住的地方,也就是她当初写作的地方。她把他们居住的房子戏称为“The Dump”.故此项正确;D选项:电影改编自这本书,而非书本改编自电影。

As is often the case, when people are attending to meetings, having meals or waiting for buses, you can always find them addicting to their phones, completely ignoring others.
This is really a commonly phenomenon in our life. The reason is why smart phones nowadays can be used for people to play mobile games and kept in touch with friends through QQ and WeChat. Therefore, too much exposure to phones are bad for people in terms of health. Moreover, people involved in phones fail to communicate well with these around them.
As far as I am concerned, people should wisely make use of their phones to help their work and study. Meanwhile, care much about their family and friends rather than mobile phones.

【题目】We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good or bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are unacceptable. Many people would find it terrible to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as proper food.
Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli (花椰菜) is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.
But dislikes is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture.
One example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from some other cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals (罪犯). Actually, the dog’s place in society as a companion makes the dog taboo as food.
Scientists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.
【1】The writer uses the example of rat as food to show that ________.
A. some cultures may seem rather strange
B. understanding between different cultures is easy
C. people may eat very different things
D. eating properly is very difficult
【2】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. People don’t often consider nutrition as important.
B. Some vegetables are more nutritious than others.
C. Broccoli and tomatoes are common vegetables.
D. Americans like broccoli better than tomatoes.
【3】Why is eating dogs a taboo in America?
A. It is a taboo from the Fiji Islands.
B. It is against American laws.
C. Dogs are needed by the police.
D. Dogs are close to human life.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Nutritions and Beliefs.
B. Food and Culture.
C. Taboo about Food.
D. Science in Eating.
