In Asiathere are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them.Although all kites have a similar structure(结构)they are widely different in size and shape.Kite?fighting competitions are also heldin which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents’(对手) kites or cut their strings(线)

For more than 15 yearsthe Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite?making and kite?flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite?making lessonsstudents can make kites in as little as 20 minutesChildren as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龙)Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.

The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two?string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.

Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can workand can give hours of fun.Go ongive it a try

(2012·安徽,D)

1. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

AA hot knife is used to iron the nylon.

BChildren never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.

CKite strings must not be cut in kite?fighting competitions.

DDaphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.

2. What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?

CA complex structure.

DA kite that impresses others.

4.What is mainly described in the text?

AA kite factory.

BKite?flying lessons.

CSpecial competitions.

DThe kite?making process.

 

【答案】

1.D

2.A

3.B

4.A

【解析】

1.

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,使用加热的刀是切割(cut)尼龙,而不是iron the nylon(熨烫尼龙),故A项错;B项与第三段最后一句“Then the controls are given to the students.”相悖;根据第一段最后一句可知C项错。由第二段倒数第二句“Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.”可知D项正确。

2.2】 A

解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two?string controllable kite.”可知,与孩子们在制作课上制作的风筝不同的是飞行课上使用的风筝是双线控制的,故选A项。

3.3】 B

解析 观点判断题。最后一段介绍的是Jonathan的观点。根据“...it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite...”可知AD两项不正确;C项与最后一段第二句“Even the simplest structure can workand can give hours of fun.”相悖。结合最后一段可推知,Jonathan认为任何类型的风筝都可以给你带来快乐,故选B项。

4.4】 A

解析 主旨大意题。本文主要是介绍一家风筝厂15年来一直为夏威夷一座岛屿上的孩子们开设风筝制作和风筝飞行的课程。文章主要聚集于这家工厂,讲述kite?making and kite?flying lessons是为介绍这家工厂服务的,另外文中涉及两类课程,B项只是风筝飞行课程,显然不全面。文章首段提到特殊的比赛,是为了引出风筝比赛,进而引出本文的中心话题,选C项就会本末倒置。D风筝制作过程在文中并未涉及。

  As the Internet becomes more and more popular, the problem of identity becomes more serious.In a virtual world, people can have different addresses registered with different names.In the Internet chat room, even one’s gender(性别)is hard to determine.It seems that in the glohal village, people are saying hello every day to each other without knowing whom they are talking to.
