题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen…
At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

Place a piece of dark metal and a piece of light-coloured wood or cloth of about the same size side by side in the sunlight on a bright afternoon. Touch them after a while, or set a thermometer on each. You will find the dark metal is hotter, though both have been warmed by the sun for the same length of time. This is because some things absorb(吸收) more heat from the sun than others, lying in their colour, form and material. A ploughed field of black soil becomes heated faster than a field of corn. The cornfield in turn absorbs more heat than a lake or a pond. This curious fact about heating explains the most common thunderstorms(雷雨), the kind seen on a summer afternoon.

4. From the passage we know________.

A. the colour of wood or cloth is lighter than that of metal

B. if you stand in a cornfield you'll feel hotter than in a ploughed field

C. when the sunlight is not quite bright light-coloured wood absorbs more heat than dark metal

D. if you put something in the sun, its temperature will be affected by its color, form and material

5. The underlined word "thermometer"probably means________.

A. something that is like a stove

B. an instrument for measuring temperature

C. a tool which is used to heat

D. a watch which can be started and stopped

6. The last sentence of the passage leads us to conclude that________.

A. thunderstorms break out over a lake

B. thunderstorms have something to do with the heat from the sun

C. thunderstorms are often seen in winter, too

D. thunderstorms have never happened in dark materials
