4.My son David,who was 3.5 years old,taught me a beautiful lesson today.After we finished playing with the beads (珠子),David slowly picked up each bead,looking at it as if it were made of chocolate and then put it into the box they were stored in.With over a hundred beads to go,I was getting impatient."Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in?My morning was going to be ruined today!"
But then it hit me like a brick.I noticed that he did this with as much interest as he had while we wer e playing.The boy was enjoying the whole process.For him the fun was in the game itself as well as in the process of properly packing up and cleaning up.It was not just about his turn or the fun part.Every bit was as fun as the other.
I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket (板球).If I was not batting or bowling (击球或掷球),I was unhappy as I impatiently waited for my turn to do so.As a result,I was unhappy while waiting for my turn and only happy for the few moments I either batted or bowled.Only the process of doing something I combined with happiness made me cheerful.The rest of the time I was waiting for my run in the future or recalling great bowling from the past.
Looking at how peacefully my son was putting beads into the box taught me that the process is the goal.The joy of journey is not in getting there but in every step of it.
16.Why was the father getting upset?D
A.He wasn't interested in the game.
B.His son didn't do it as he was told to.
C.David put away the beads casually.
D.It'd take long to put away the beads.
17.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?C
A.I was hit by David with a brick.
B.I felt very annoyed at what David did.
C.I suddenly understood David's behavior.
D.I was at a loss what to do with David.
18.We can learn from the text that the authorB.
A.felt satisfied with his teammates 
B.was eager to join in the game
C.happily watched his teammates play
D.thought it a pleasure to win a match.

分析 本文是一篇人物故事类阅读,属于记叙文,我的儿子大卫,他是3岁半,今天给我上了一堂课,在我们玩珠子之后,大卫慢慢捡起每一个珠子,看着它,就好像它是由巧克力做的,然后把它放到箱子中保存.本文以此展开,主要讲述了我的儿子让我明白的道理.

解答 16.答案:D.细节理解题.根据第一段中的"With over a hundred beads to go,I was getting impatient.‘Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in?My morning was going to be ruined today!'"可知,作者看到儿子把珠子一颗一颗地捡起来并放入盒子里,而不是一次捡十颗,那么要捡一百多颗珠子肯定会耗费很长时间,所以作者觉得整个早晨都要被毁了,变得不耐烦.故选D.
17.答案:C.句意理解题.根据"But"提示可知,前后为转折关系,结合下文可知,作者注意到儿子正在享受这一过程,因此该句表示作者突然理解了儿子的行为.故选C.
18.答案:B.推理判断题.根据第三段的第二句"If I was not batting(用球板击球) or bowling(投球),I was unhappy as I impatiently waited for my turn to do so"可知,作者等得不耐烦,急切地想打球.故选B.

点评 本文是一篇人物故事类阅读,题目涉及句意理解题,推理判断题,细节理解题.做题时学生应仔细阅读原文,把握文章主要内容,联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义,从中选出正确答案,一定要做到有理有据,切忌胡乱猜测.

4.If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的)species on this planet.Instead,we are diurnal creatures,with eyes adapted to living in the sun's light.This is a basic evolutionary fact,even though most of us don't think of ourselves as diurnal beings.Yet it's the only way to explain what we've done to the night:We've engineered it to receive us by filling it with light.
   The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences-called light pollution---whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study.Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels-and light rhythms-to which many forms of life,including ourselves,have adapted.Wherever human light spills into the natural world,some aspect of life is affected.
   In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars,leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark.We've grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit night,-dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth,is wholly beyond our experience,beyond memory almost.
  We've lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country,when nothing could be further form the truth.Among mammals alone,the number of nocturnal species is astonishing.Light is a powerful biological force,and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁).The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being"captured"by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms.Migrating at night,birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings.
  Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times brighter than normal,throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint,including their nighttime breeding choruses.Humans are no less trapped by light pollution than the frogs.Like most other creatures,we do need darkness.Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare,to our internal clockwork,as light itself.
   Living in a glare of our own making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage-the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night.In a very real sense,light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe,to forget the scale of our being,which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way-the edge of our galaxy-arching overhead.

66.According to the passage,human beingB
A.prefer to live in the darkness
B.are used to living in the day light
C.were curious about the midnight world
D.had to stay at home with the light of the moon
67.What does"it"(Paragraph 1)most probably refer toA

A.show how light pollution affects animals
B.compare the living habits of both species
C.explain why the number of certain species has declined
69.It is implied in the last paragraph thatD
A.light pollution does harm to the eyesight of animals
B.light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages
C.human beings cannot go to the outer space
D.human beings should reflect on their position in the universe
70.What might be the best title for the passage?C
A.The Magic light.
B.The Orange Haze.
C.The Disappearing Night.
D.The Rhythms of Nature.
