【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。 Many hundreds of years ago, the moon was a mystery to people on the earth. What was that glowing ball came out at night? Why did it keep getting smaller, then larger? Why didn't it fall from the sky? Through the ages, people have tried to come up with answers.
To the native people of Bolivia, in South American, the moon was a great chief who once lived on the earth. The Abaluyian people of Kenya, in Africa, believe the moon and the sun were brothers who fought in the sky. In other parts of the world, people believed they saw different pictures in the moon. The Haida Indians of Canada saw a woman carrying a bucket. The Chinese saw a road.
People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar. In fact, in some languages, the word for moon meant “month”. A Native American nation called the Sioux made a calendar of 13 moons, or months. Each moon had a name, such as Moon of Black Cherries, Moon of Green Corn, and Moon of Severe Cold.
Though people of the past found the moon was helpful, mysterious and interesting, they didn't know much about it. They only knew what they could see with their own eyes.
Then almost 400 years age, an Italian scientist named Galileo made a new telescope(望遠(yuǎn)鏡) that was more powerful than any telescope made before. Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon. He discovered that the moon was not the smooth, shiny ball. The brighter places were mostly hills and mountains. The flat areas were lower, which is why they appeared darker.
As more people saw the moon through telescopes, they discovered more about it. Yet, people still had much to learn about the moon.
(1)Which name of the moon is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Moon of Severe Cold.
B.Moon of Red Trees.
C.Moon of Black Cherries.
D.Moon of Green Corn.
(2)The underlined word “implement” probably means .
A.idea
B.way
C.tool
D.habit
(3)From this passage, we can know that .
A.Thousands of years ago, Galileo used his implement to look at the moon
B.People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar
C.People discovered that the darker areas in moon were hills and mountains
D.The native people of Bolivia thought that the moon and the sun were sisters

【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)B
【解析】文章大意:本文講述的是人類對月球的認(rèn)識的歷史。數(shù)百年前,月球?qū)θ藗儊碇v是一個迷,不知道它為什么晚上會發(fā)光,不知道為什么它會有大小圓缺的變化;過去人們也用過月球來標(biāo)記時間作為歷書;后來,意大利科學(xué)家制作了望遠(yuǎn)鏡,用它可以更好地觀察月球,人們了解了月貌:有山地和平原。但是人們還有許多有關(guān)月球的東西未了解。
(1)細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意:文中下面哪一個月的名字未被提到?A.Moon of Severe Cold.;B.Moon of Red Trees;C.Moon of Black Cherries.;D.Moon of Green Corn。由第三段最后的句子:such as Moon of Black Cherries, Moon of Green Corn, and Moon of Severe Cold.可知,Moon of Red Trees未被提到。故選B。
(2)詞義猜測題。題意:有下劃線的單詞“implement” 可能意思是什么?A.idea想法;B.way方式,方法;C.tool工具;D.habit習(xí)慣。句意:Galileo decided to take his new implement to look at the moon.加利略決定用它的新implement來觀察月球。望遠(yuǎn)鏡是他觀察月球的新工具。故選C。
(3)推理判斷題。題意:從本文中,我們可以知道什么?A.Thousands of years ago, Galileo used his implement to look at the moon數(shù)千年前,加利略用它的望遠(yuǎn)鏡觀察月球;B.People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar過去人們也用月球標(biāo)記時間作為一種日歷;C.People discovered that the darker areas in moon were hills and mountains人們發(fā)現(xiàn)月球上較暗的部分是山;D.The native people of Bolivia thought that the moon and the sun were sisters玻利維亞的土著人認(rèn)為月亮和太陽是姐妹。由第三段的第一句話:People in the past also used the moon to mark time as a kind of calendar.可知,過去人們用月來記時作為一種歷書。故選B。

【題目】Have you ever heard of a rattlesnake? It is a poisonous (有毒的) American snake. When it is angry or afraid, it makes a noise like a rattle with its tail. It’s very scary. But Heather Ramirez and her husband, from California, in the United States, make a living in an unusual way. They are self-employed (自雇的) snake catchers! They catch snakes, especially rattlesnakes which have gone indoors, and return them to the wild.

Heather describes her work as “protecting people from rattlesnakes and protecting rattlesnakes from people!” In the area where they live, rattlesnakes often come face to face with people. They are found in stores, offices, houses and gardens. Heather explains that it’s not the snakes that are moving into places where people live, but it’s the other way round. The snakes lived in these places first and then the people built houses.

Most people who see a rattlesnake are feared. If you keep your distance, however, the snake won’t bite (咬) you. In twelve years as a snake catcher, Heather has never touched a snake. She doesn’t take the risk. She picks up the snakes with a special tool. This doesn’t hurt them, but it keeps them at a safe distance so that they can’t bite her.

Heather and her husband are very busy because they are never off duty. Catching snakes is a full-time job and they don’t often have a day off. People can get to them at any time of the day or night. Not everyone can do this job, but Heather doesn’t want to do anything else. “I just love my job,” she says.

【1】The Ramirezs make a living in an unusual way by _____.

A. catching and selling snakes B. catching snakes as a part-time job

C. protecting snakes in the wild D. being self-employed snake catchers

【2】 In Paragraph 2, Heather explains why the rattlesnakes _____.

A. never bite people B. are afraid of people

C. are found where people live D. lived with people at first

【3】The underlined word them in Paragraph 3 refers to _____.

A. rattlesnakes B. special tools

C. people around D. the Ramirezs

【4】 Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Heather catches snakes only at night.

B. Heather is always ready to do her job.

C. Heather risks touching snakes sometimes.

D. Heather has been a snake catcher for 20 years.
