【題目】閱讀短文,下列問題
B
Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!
(1)What does the writer do before he goes to sleep?
A.He reads books.
B.He reads newspapers.
C.He looks through magazines.
D.He looks at the posters on the wall.
(2)When was paper first created?
A.About 2,000 years ago.
B.In the 19th century.
C.About 1,000 years ago.
D.In the 11th century.
(3)Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?
A.Because people could not read.
B.Because people could not write words on paper.
C.Because people could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.
D.Because people could only produce books one at a time by hand.
(4)What happened after books became cheaper?
A.People didn't want to buy books.
B.Printing was invented in China.
C.Knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
D.The Internet was introduced to people soon.
(5)What is the writer's opinion about books and computers?
A.People won't need books any more.
B.Books won't be replaced by computers.
C.People prefer to find information in books.
D.Computers have already replaced books.

【答案】
(1)D
(2)A
(3)D
(4)C
(5)B
【解析】(1) 根據(jù)文章第一段的And every night, I look at the posters...before I go to sleep.可知,作者在睡覺前會(huì)看臥室墻上的海報(bào)。故選D。 (2) 根據(jù)文章第二段的Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago ...可知,紙張是在大約2 000年前被發(fā)明的。故選A。 (3) 根據(jù)文章第二段的But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand.可知,書昂貴且稀少的原因是古代手工技術(shù)的限制。故選D。 (4) 根據(jù)文章第三段的After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.可知,自從書變得便宜之后,知識(shí)和思想的傳播變得迅速起來。故選C。 (5)根據(jù)文章最后一段的No, I don't think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a two-metre-high computer!可推知作者認(rèn)為書本不會(huì)被電腦取代。故選B。

【題目】 Answer the questions (根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答下列問題.

Each and every year, during Chongyang Festival, citizens of China celebrate the elders in their families and communities. Its a special tradition which is rooted in the deep value that Chinese culture places on honouring their elders.

Sadly, many of our aging population are seniors without sons, daughters or grandchildren to visit. While they may have great friends, they no doubt miss the tender and loving relationships unique to families. To fill this void(空虛), many volunteers turned up on October 28 at nursing homes around the country in order to spend time with the residents. In some cases, they performed humble(謙遜的) gestures of kindness, such as combing their hair or washing their feet.

While the kind acts were appreciated, one embarrassing story out of Anhui province raised a valuable question. Reportedly, one old gentleman had his feet washed seven times during the day by different volunteers. Is this genuinely(真誠地) caring for the elderly? Many of the residents at the home said that those gestures do not make them feel cared for at all. Their family members or community volunteers may drop by for a few hours of token time, but soon they disappear back into their busy lives.

There is nothing we can give that is more valuable or appreciated than our time. While you may feel like there is barely enough time to care for your many responsibilities, might it be possible to spare just a moment as you walk home from school to sit with a senior who lives in your community? Just five minutes is not going to prevent you from getting your homework done, but it may totally change a day of loneliness into a day of joy for one old man or woman. Do you live far from your grandparents? Why not pick up the phone and let them know youre thinking of them? Or maybe you could remind them of the good old days and mail them a short letter. Imagine their surprise and joy!

We live in a complicated(復(fù)雜的) and busy world, but kindness and caring is still a very simple thing.

1People in China celebrate the elders at Chongyang Festival, don’t they?

【2】Who appeared at nursing homes to spend time with the residents?

【3】How many times did one old gentleman have his feet washed during the day?

【4】Which gestures can make elders feel cared for ?

【5】What did the family members of the residents at the home do?

【6】Have you been to any nursing homes before? What did you do for the residents there?

If you haven’t, please tell us what you did for the elders around you in the past.
