Question

【題目】閱讀短文，從A、B、C三個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出最佳答案回答問題或完成句子。

Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool. They are all from plants or animals, but that doesn’t mean they’re friendly to the earth. For example, farmers have to use a lot of chemicals to grow cotton plants.

Scientists are now looking for new ways to make clothing materials. They hope the new materials are both comfortable and good for the earth. Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks(棉籽), chicken feathers and rice straws.

“They used to be useless things. We always have a problem of how to deal with them,” Yang, a scientist says, “Now, we can turn them into beautiful materials. Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater, and I think more and more people will like to buy these kinds of clothes.”

【解析】

我們穿的衣服的材料，如棉、羊毛等，往往對(duì)土壤不利，因此現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家們正在尋找新的材料來做衣服，如用棉籽、雞的羽毛、稻稈等。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文的開頭第一句話Clothes are traditionally made of natural materials, such as cotton, leather and wool.可知，傳統(tǒng)上衣服都是用天然的材料制成的，如棉花、皮革和羊毛等。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第二段中Scientists have worked out how to make materials out of corn husks(棉籽), chicken feathers and rice straws.可知，現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家們研究的新材料有棉籽、小雞的羽毛以及稻稈等。由此可知應(yīng)選A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的句子They have small air pockets like honeycombs.可知，這句話用來描述的是雞的羽毛，他們有氣囊，在所給的幾個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，也有氣囊的是蜂窩。由此可猜測honeycombs是蜂窩的意思，故應(yīng)選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第三段中Chicken feathers are better than other things. They have small air pockets like honeycombs. That means it will be very warm if you use them to make a jacket or sweater可知，科學(xué)家們認(rèn)為雞的羽毛是最好的，他們有像蜂窩一樣的氣囊，用他們做成夾克衫或者是毛衣的話，可以非常溫暖。由此可知應(yīng)選C。

【5】主旨大意題。這篇短文從傳統(tǒng)的衣服材料入手，引出了文章的話題—新的衣服材料，如棉籽、雞的羽毛以及稻稈，并對(duì)其中的一種材料進(jìn)行了詳細(xì)的解釋。由此可知A選項(xiàng)“新的衣服材料”恰恰是文章的關(guān)鍵詞，故用它做題目是最好的，應(yīng)選A。

這篇短文給我們講述了現(xiàn)在科學(xué)家們正在研究用新的材料做衣服。文章是科普類的說明文，但文章的主題是與我們的日常生活密切性格的，且文章中語言比較簡潔，所以內(nèi)容比較容易理解。后面的題目設(shè)置有細(xì)節(jié)理解題、詞義猜測題和主旨大意題。細(xì)節(jié)題考查我們對(duì)文章某處事實(shí)信息的理解，答案�？梢灾苯釉谠�文找到。做題時(shí)，根據(jù)題干所問，定位到文章中相關(guān)地方，搜索信息作答。例如第1小題，題干問的是傳統(tǒng)上的衣服材料，注意traditionally這個(gè)詞，根據(jù)短文的第一句話就可以知道答案。詞義猜測題要注意從上下文的語境中尋找做題的線索，并結(jié)合使用構(gòu)詞法的知識(shí)進(jìn)行猜測。所給的單詞honeycombs中honey是“蜂蜜”，且句中have air pockets“有氣囊”，由此我們就可以知道這個(gè)單詞的意思是“蜂窩”，故選B。
