Question

【題目】Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn’t give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.

Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history. At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn. He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.”

He also taught us that thinking is very important in study. “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”

【2】 C

【4】 B

【解析】

本文主要講了孔子的生平經(jīng)歷以及對后世的影響。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“He visited many famous teachers and learned music, history, poetry and sports.”他通過拜訪很多名師來學習音樂、歷史、詩歌和體育。故選D。

【2】詞義猜測題。A. poor貧窮的B. bright光明的C. wealthy富貴的D. cute可愛的。根據(jù)文章第二段“At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.” Confucius相信每個人都能上學，所以上文推測出只有富貴家庭的孩子能上學，窮人家的孩子不能上學。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。考查Confucius做著幾件事情的順序。根據(jù)文章第1段“His father died when he was only 3. His mother brought him up.”他三歲時父親去世了。所以③ Confucius’ father died. 是第一件事。根據(jù)As a child, he had to work to help his mother,接下來他幫助他媽媽工作。所以① Confucius worked to help his mother as a child.是第二件事。然后根據(jù)Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.然后他在中國建立了第一所中國歷史的公眾學校。所以④ Confucius started the first public school in Chinese history.是第三件事。最后根據(jù)第二段最后一句He had about 3,000 students in his lifetime.他一生教了大約3000個學生。所以② Confucius educated about 3,000 students in his lifetime.是第四件事。故選A。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。題意是我們現(xiàn)在為什么要尊重孔子，肯定是因為他好的品質(zhì)。A. he lived a poor life in his childhood他貧窮的童年B. he had wise thoughts and great views about education他明智的想法和對教育的觀點C. he traveled with his students from state to state他和學生到各地去旅行D. he lived during the Spring and Autumn Period他住在春秋戰(zhàn)國時期。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society.”孔子不僅是優(yōu)秀的老師，也是有明智想法的思想家。所以我們尊敬孔子的原因是故選B。

寫人敘事類閱讀相對簡單，一般按照時間或事情發(fā)展順序，來敘述人物的生平經(jīng)歷。所以找到文中的時間標志，就能很快理解每件事情的先后順序。例如小題3，問四件事的先后順序，通過閱讀文章一二段，把四個選項代入文章即可快速得到答案——1、父親去世；2、打工幫助母親；3、成立第一個歷史學校；4、一生教了3000學生。
