　　Peanuts to This

　　Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”

　　Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became

　　evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(擲)a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.

　　Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?

　　Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!

　　1．What did the author's classmates think about his report?

　　A．Controversial.

　　B．Ridiculous.C．Boring.

　　D．Puzzling.

　?。甒hy was the author confused about the task?

　　A．He was unfamiliar with American history.

　　B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.

　　C．He forgot his teacher's instruction.

　　D．He was new at the school.

　?。甌he underlined word“burning”in Para. 3 probably means ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)nnoyed

　　B．a(chǎn)shamedC．ready

　　D．eager

　?。甀n the end, the author turned things around ________.

　　A．by redoing his taskB．through his own efforts

　　C．with the help of his grandfatherD．under the guidance of his headmaster

　　【要點綜述】本文講述了作者作為一個外來移民初入美國學校時，由于對美國歷史不了解而鬧出的一個笑話，但作者通過努力最后終于提高成績并實現(xiàn)跳級。

　　. B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容我們知道，由于作者對美國歷史的無知，弄混了喬治·華盛頓的身份，所以同學們聽了作者寫的報告忍不住大笑起來?！癰earing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家覺得這個報告很荒謬。controversial有爭議的；ridiculous荒謬的，可笑的；boring無聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。

　　. A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是從別的國家初到美國，所以對美國歷史不了解而鬧了笑話。

　　. D　詞義猜測題。根據(jù)全文敘述可知，作者是通過投擲硬幣來決定的答案，因此犯了常識錯誤。第三段中“I was totally lost.”說明作者不明就里，所以當其他同學讀報告時，作者渴望知道為什么。annoyed 煩惱的；ashamed羞愧的；ready準備好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。

　　. B　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段“Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通過throw oneself into(積極從事)而實現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)變的。所以選B。文中老師并沒有給作者機會重做，所以A錯誤；從祖父那里得到建議是在選擇華盛頓身份時，所以C錯誤；而校長是在作者成績提高后才接見的，所以D錯誤。Photographs are everywhere. They decorate (裝飾) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.

　　Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.

　　Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(貧窮)caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.

　　Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.

　　As historical and artistic documents(文獻) ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(發(fā)表) them in books and on the Internet.

　　1. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to

　　A. beauties

　　B. photos

　　C. goods

　　D. events

　　2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos

　　A. are also works of art

　　B. are popular ways of reporting news

　　C. often shock the public

　　D. can serve as a force for social change

　　3. What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. News with pictures is encouraging.

　　B. Photos help people improve their life.

　　C. News photos mean history in a sense.

　　D. People prefer reading news with pictures.

　　4. The text is mainly about

　　A. telling the story through pictures

　　B. decorating the walls of homes

　　C. publishing historical papers

　　D. expressing feeling through pictures

　　參考答案1—3、BAC

　　【2024高考訓練】

　　Egypt may be walking towards a much-needed IMF loan, but that hasn’t put off some foreign partners. GB Auto, the Cairo-listed auto assembler(汽車組裝公司), will begin putting together and selling cars from China’s Geely in the second quarter of 2024.

　　GB will assemble the cars from kits(配件) supplied by Geely (the Hangzhou-based carmaker that bought Volvo in a $1.5bn deal in 2010), and will sell the finished product in markets across North Africa, beginning with Egypt. The deal is “one of several partnerships we will announce this year,” said GB’s chairman, Raouf Ghabbour, in a statement.

　　GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai. It is now the the Middle East’s largest car assembler. High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Geely, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.

　　For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step in efforts to push its products out across the world, after announcing last year that it would set up a production hub（輪軸）in Indonesia to target the fast-growing Southeast Asian market. The company plans on selling at least one model in the UK by the end of 2024.

　　While 2011 was a tough year for car sales (and pretty much everything else) in Egypt, the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt, compared to 128 in China and 109 in Morocco.

　　GB says the tuk-tuk’s popularity in Egypt’s rural inland and informal urban slums（貧民窟）made it less influenced by a slowdown in the passenger car industry.

　　And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草機)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.

　　1.What is the general idea of the pasasage?

　　A. China’s Geely is entering Egypt.

　　B. For Geely, the Egyptian deal is another step.

　　C. GB covers much of Egyptian car selling.

　　D. GB will assemble the cars from kits.

　　2.Which country’s seller of cars is GB?

　　A. China.

　　B. Korea.

　　C. Japan.

　　D. Egypt

　　3. Why do China’s Geely put their kits of cars together in a foreign country?

　　A.A number of international auto brands.

　　B. Several partners’ help.

　　C. Egypt ‘s need of IMF loan.

　　D. Too much tax.

　　4.The reason why they mention the figure about China and Morocco’s cars is______.

　　A. To learn from them easily.

　　B. To show China and Morocco’s strength.

　　C. To show GB has a good future.

　　D. To beat China and Morocco in selling.

　　5. The tuk-tuk’s advantage is______.

　　A. That its kits came from China.

　　B. That its engine is smaller than others.

　　C. GB assemble them carefully.

　　D. It is sold in Egypt’s rural inland.

　　本文大意是中國吉利汽車正走向埃及市場。在開羅上市的汽車組裝公司GB Auto將開始組裝和銷售來自中國吉利公司(Geely)的汽車。

　　1.A。主旨大意題。全文大意是中國吉利汽車正走向埃及市場。在開羅上市的汽車組裝公司GB Auto將開始組裝和銷售來自中國吉利公司(Geely)的汽車。A概括全文大意，其它選項只涉及文章的部分內(nèi)容。

　　2. B。細節(jié)理解題。從文章第三段信息句GB controls 32 per cent of the Egyptian selling car market, where it rose to success as the largest local assembler, importer and seller of cars from South Korea’s Hyundai得知GB占據(jù)著埃及32%的乘用車市場，并且是韓國現(xiàn)代(Hyundai)汽車在埃及的獨家組裝商、進口商和經(jīng)銷商。故答案選B。

　　3. D。細節(jié)理解題。聯(lián)系第四段信息句High tax on fully-assembled imported cars have encouraged a number of international auto brands, including BMW and China’s Chery, to have their vehicles put together in Egypt.得知由于針對整車進口的關(guān)稅極高，包括寶馬(BMW)和中國奇瑞(Chery)在內(nèi)的許多國際汽車品牌都采取在埃及組裝的策略。故答案選D。

　　4. C。推理判斷題。聯(lián)系第五段信息句the vehicle market is still a good prospect as a large and increasingly young population fuel long-term economic growth. GB says there are about 30 cars per 1,000 people in Egypt,理解做這種數(shù)據(jù)的比較是為了顯示GB在埃及的銷售前景看好。

　　5. B。細節(jié)理解題。據(jù)最后一段信息句And if long-discussed reforms of Egypt lead to higher fuel prices, expect tuk-tuks, powered by something barely larger than a lawnmower (割草機)engine, to become increasingly attractive for urban transport.理解得知它的優(yōu)勢在于發(fā)動機比較小。
