    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读理解。
         Do you see many signs around you? Do you know the signs are an important part of our daily life?
    They can be in pictures or in words to give people information. What do people think are good signs?
    If you are thinking about making signs for others, what should you know?
        The most important thing is that signs should be simple and easy to understand. It is important to use
    clear language. On the other hand, the words should be easy to write and you just need to write down
    what you want to do. "Keep off the grass" is a very good example. It means "Don't touch or walk on the
    grass".
         Nowadays, there is a saying that "A picture paints a thousand words". Perhaps that's why we are
    seeing more and more signs in pictures, or a combination of pictures and words. However, that's the
    difficult part, because picture signs may have different meanings in different countries.
    1. First, a good sign should be ____.
    [     ]
    A. clear
    B. beautiful
    C. funny
    D. interesting
    2. The writer uses "A picture paints a thousand words" to show that ____.
    [     ]
    A. a word sign is as easy as a picture sign to make
    B. a picture sign often has more information than a word sign
    C. a word sign has more information than a picture sign
    D. a word sign and a picture sign have the same information
    3. What does the underlined word "combination" mean?
    [     ]
    A. 分开
    B. 结合
    C. 并列
    D. 平行
    4. What is the disadvantage (不利因素) of picture signs?
    [     ]
    A. They are too simple.
    B. They are not easy to understand.
    C. They are not as interesting as word sign.
    D. They may have different meanings in different countries.
    5. What's the best title of the passage?

     Yesterday I was shopping for a few items(物品).With nothing to do at home, my son, who just left university, was ready to go together with me.
    As I pushed the basket towards the register(收银机),I checked my items to see how many I had, thinking I might go to the Express Line(快速通道)where the sign said“Ten items or less”.
    I started to go to that line and my son said,“Mon, you have twelve items!”I said,“You know, but they’re close.” He said,“Why are you in such a hurry to get home? You should go to the Regular Line because you have over ten items.”
    Knowing he was right. I agreed and then pushed the basket to the next line. So I was waiting for my turn there and I was just removing my items from the basket to pay for them when a young man came up behind me in line with two items.
    I just left the Express Line because I had too many and now I really wanted to get finished. Again, my son came up.“Mom, he has only two items and the Express Line is very long now. Won’t you just let him go first?”I agreed, and the young man smiled widely and thanked me several times.
    It felt good to be with my son and have him remind me not to live a hurried life. Do what’s right and also be kind. I really take pride in him.
