"Do you need any more help now?"

I didn't quite understand . "Thanks, officer, " I said . "You've been very kind. I lived just down the road. "

Look at the picture. It's a small room. We can see Betty in it. There is a bed and a desk in her room. What's on the wall? It's a map of England. We can see a photo (照片) near the map. It's Betty's photo. We can see a clock on the table. There are some flowers near it. Is her black cat on the bed? No, it's her hat. Where's her bag? It's on the bed, too.

1. Whose (誰的) room is it? 2. Is the room big or small?

3. What's on the wall? 4. Where are the flowers?

5. What colour is Betty's hat?

參考答案

解答：閱讀題對于初學(xué)者來說略有困難。學(xué)生希望直接從文章中找到答案。有的題可以但有的題卻不能。這篇文章介紹的是一幅畫。沒有提到房間是Betty的，但所介紹的物品與她有關(guān)，故房間是Betty的。

1、答案為It's Betty's.

2、文章的第二句表明房間小，故答案為It's small.

3、墻上除了有英國地圖外，旁邊還有一張照片，故答案為There is a map of England and a photo.

4、文章沒有說花在桌子上，但鐘在桌子上，花在它的旁邊，當(dāng)然花在桌子上，故答案為They're on the table.

5、文章也沒講Betty的帽子是什么顏色，但把床上的帽子誤認(rèn)為黑色的貓。由此可見她的帽子是黑色的，故答案為It's black.

4 Perfect Match

A rich woman is so proud of a valuable antique vase that she decides to have her bedroom painted the same colour as the vase. Several painters try to mix the colour right, but none comes close enough to satisfy the woman.

Eventually, a painter comes. He is confident that he can mix the proper colour. The woman is pleased with the result, and the painter becomes famous.

6 A Joke— “I stand corrected”

I have this friend who always seemed to lean slightly to the left all the time. It used to bother me, so I suggested he see a doctor, and have his legs checked out. For years, he refused and told me I was crazy, but last week, he finally went. Sure enough, the doctor discovered his left leg was a quarter inch shorter than his right. A quick bit of surgery later, he was cured, and both legs are exactly the same length now, and he no longer leans. “So,”I said, "You didn't believe me when I told you a doctor could fix your leg. He just looked at me and said, "I stand corrected.

One day, Paula and Richard decided to make a kite. First they went out and found two straight sticks of the same length. They brought them back home and tied them with a piece of string into the shape of a cross. Then they took some string and used it to tie the four ends of the sticks together. Then, they spread some brightly coloured paper over the frame and glued it around the string. They stuck a tail made of paper to one of the corners, and tied a long string to the centre of the kite. On the next windy day, they took the kite to a hill near their house and flew it.

一天，保羅和理查德決定做一個風(fēng)箏。首先，他們出門找了兩根一樣長的直木棍。他們把木棍帶回家，用一根繩子把它們綁成十字形。然后他們又拿了些繩子，把木棍的四個頂端連在一起。然后，他們把一些顏色鮮艷的紙涂上膠水，粘在風(fēng)箏的框架上。他們將紙做的尾巴粘在一角，在風(fēng)箏中間系上一根長繩。在接下來的一個有風(fēng)的日子里，他們就在家附近的小山上放風(fēng)箏了。

8 Animals in Danger

Some of the animals and birds in the rainforest, such as monkeys and

woodpeckers, live in the treetops. They are always swinging and flying from one

tree to another looking for food among the leaves and branches. They even sleep

in the treetops so they do not have to come down to the ground.

Have you heard that such animals and birds in the rainforests are in danger?

Because people are cutting down so many trees in the forests, the animals are

losing their homes. Do you know the reasons for it? Yes, people want wood, paper

and land. As a result many animals and plants are dying. Some forests are so

badly damaged that they become deserts.

rainforest 雨林woodpecker 啄木鳥 treetop 樹頂 swing 搖蕩

leaves 樹葉（leaf的復(fù)數(shù)形式）branch 樹枝desert 沙漠

瀕 危 動 物

一些雨林中的動物和鳥類生活在樹頂上，例如猴子和啄木鳥。它們總是從一棵樹蕩到或飛到另一棵樹上，在樹葉和樹枝間尋找食物。它們甚至在樹頂睡覺，所以它們不用到地面上來。

你知道嗎？雨林中的這些動物正處于危險中。因為人們砍伐了森林中的許多樹，動物們失去了家園。你知道人們砍樹的原因嗎？是的，人們需要木材、紙和土地。所以，許多動物和植物正在消亡。一些森林遭到了嚴(yán)重的破壞，變成了沙漠。

9 English in the World

Some people say that the English language no longer belongs to the English, and it belongs to the world. It is estimated that the number of people who use English exceeds 750 million. Among these, about 350 million are native speakers, while the rest use it as an official language. If we add to this number the people who have acquired the language to some extent, the total is close to one billion. English plays an increasingly important role in the world as a medium for conducting international business and diplomacy, as well as in science and medicine, the Internet, air and sea communications, international sports events, radio and TV programs, pop songs and movies.

estimate 估計exceed 超過 native 本族的，本國的 official 官方的

acquire 掌握 to some extent 達(dá)到某種程度 billion 千萬

increasingly 越來越多地medium 工具，手段 conduct 實行，執(zhí)行

international 國際的 diplomacy 外交 medicine 醫(yī)藥

communication 通信event 事件

世界上的英語

有人說英語已不再屬于英國人了，它屬于全世界。據(jù)估計，使用英語的人超過七億五千萬，其中大約有三億五千萬是以英語為母語的人，而其余的人將英語作為官方語言使用。如果我們再加上已經(jīng)掌握英語到一定程度的人，這個總數(shù)將接近十億。

英語，作為進行國際業(yè)務(wù)和外交的工具，在世界上起著越來越重要的作用。它還在科學(xué)、醫(yī)藥、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)、空中及海洋通信、國際體育賽事、電臺電視節(jié)目、流行歌曲及電影中發(fā)揮著越來越重要的作用。

10 A Friend

When you read an English book, you often come across new words. You might try to guess what the words mean from the words you know, but when you cannot guess the meanings of new words at all, what should you do?

You have a good friend then. From him you can learn what a word means, how to pronounce a word, how to use a word, and so on. This friend can always be with you, and you can always ask him to help you. Do you know who this friend is?

It is a dictionary. You can learn some important things about words from it, so you must know how to use it.

come across 碰到 guess 猜測

朋 友

當(dāng)你讀英語書時，你經(jīng)常會碰到新單詞。你可能試著從你知道的詞中猜這些詞的意思，但是當(dāng)你無法猜出這些詞的意思時，你該怎么辦呢？

這時你有一個好朋友。從他那里你可以學(xué)到單詞的意思、發(fā)音及用法等。這個朋友可以經(jīng)常伴你左右，你可以經(jīng)常請他幫忙。你知道這個朋友是誰嗎？

他就是字典。你可以從他那里學(xué)習(xí)有關(guān)詞匯的眾多重要知識，所以你必須學(xué)會如何使用字典。
