　　阅读理解—主旨大意题、标题概括题。

　　(2015年河北唐山模拟)My

　　16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most of the kids swim there, and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.

　　Still, the firefighter's first words” You need to come up here to the Still water River” made me catch my breath, and his follow-up words gave me relief: “You son is OK.”

　　When I got to the river, I immediately saw the fire truck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.

　　I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked.

　　“Yeah,” was all he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn't get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.

　　The story was this; a woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.

　　In an age in which the wore “hero” is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centred, but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good.

　　Still shocked by my son's daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him—but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What's for supper?”

　　I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window. I was reminded that still water often runs deep.

　　Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

　　He was an excellent swimmer.

　　The water of the river is shallow.

　　He was old enough to swim

　　The rocks can be of help of there's danger

　　The underlined part “who tends to play his cards close to his vest” probably means

　　Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids

　　Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks

　　Anton always has a desire to help others

　　Anton seldom changes his mind

　　In the mother's eyes, what her son did was

　　Dangerous but interesting

　　B. meaningful but difficult

　　C. unexpected and courageous

　　D. awful and absurd

　　4. What might be the best title for the passage?

　　A, My Son, My Hero

　　B. Anton, A Silent Boy

　　C. A Good Deed

　　D. A proud Mother

　　社会生活类In 1986，when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food，” he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.

　　Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and

　　environmental_stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livablecommunities.

　　Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and fair food，” slow food must enrich the eaters' life，have no negative impact on human or environmental health，and compensatefairly for food producers' work.

　　The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shipped across the country.

　　However，cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the foodindustry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices likeinefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts tooversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.

　　“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce theimpact of “food miles” and develop a closer relationship with their food producers.“ We need tochange our food system，” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Nation EatIn. “Our currentfood system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has theright to nutritious food.”

　　1．The main idea of the passage can be summarized as________.

　　A．why slow food is so important

　　B．the food and wine culture is rich in Italy

　　C．what you're eating always travels a long way

　　D．slow food makes the current food system sick

　　2．According to the second paragraph, “environmental stewardship”refers to________.

　　A．measures of environmental protections

　　B．ways to establish healthy and livable communities

　　C．people's admiration for all the creatures on the earth

　　D．actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment

　　3．Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.

　　A．improving the quality of eaters' life

　　B．providing a fair pay for food workers

　　C．being friendly to human and environmental health

　　D．developing a loose relationship with food producers

　　4．What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?

　　A．Suspicious.

　　B．Unsatisfied. C．Indifferent.

　　D．Supportive.

　　【要点综述】本文的作者告诉我们，如果想吃得更健康、更营养，那就提倡“慢食物”吧！

　　．A　主旨大意题。本文主要探讨“慢食物”的重要性，以及“慢食物”给人们带来的好处，故答案选A项。

　　．D　细节理解题。从第二段中的“environmental stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things

　　and all environments”可知，环境管理(environmental stewardship)的内容就是“破折号”后的解释，即“人们尊重所有生物和环境的权利的行动”，故D项正确。

　　3．D　细节理解题。从第三段可知，“慢食物运动”的特色就在于改善饮食者的饮食质量；不对人类健康和环境卫生产生副作用；给食物供应商以合理的报酬。D项则没有提到，故答案选D项。

　　．B　推理判断题。从最后一段David Prior所说的话可知，他认为当前的食物系统很糟糕，需要改进，所以他的态度应该是不满意的(unsatisfied)。A项表示“怀疑的”；C项表示“漠不关心的”；D项表示“支持的”，都不符合语境。

　　If you look for a book as a present for a child，you will be spoiled for choice even in a year there is no new Harry Patten.

　　J.K Rowling’s wizard is not alone .The past decade has been a harvest for good children’s books ,which has set off a large quantity of films and an increased sales of classics such as The lard of the Rings.

　　Yet despite that, reading is increasingly unpopular among children .According to statistics in 1997, 23% said they didn’t like reading at all. In 2003, 35% didn’t. And around 6% of the children leave primary school each year unable to read properly.

　　Maybe the decline is caused by the increasing availability of computes games. Maybe the books boom has affected only the top of the educational pile. Either way, Chancellor Cordon Brown plans to change things for the bottom of the class .In his pre-budget report, he announced the national project of Reading Recovery to help the children struggling most.

　　Reading Recovery is aimed at six year olds, who receive four months of individual daily half-hour classes with a specially trained teacher. An evaluation this year reported that children on the school made 20 months’ progress in just one year, whereas similarly weak readers without special help made just five months’ progress ,and so ended the year even further below the level expected for their age.

　　International research tends to find that when British children leave primary school, they read well ,but read text often for fun than those elsewhere .Reading for fun matters because children who are keen on reading can report lifelong pleasure and loving books is an excellent indicator of future educational success . According to the OECD, being a regular and enthusiastic reader is of great advantage.

　　1．Which of the following is true of Paragraph 1?

　　A．Many children’s books have been adapted from films.

　　B．Many high-quality children’s books have been published.

　　D．The sales of presents for children have increased.

　　2．Statistics suggested that .

　　A．the number of top students increased with the use of computers

　　B．a decreasing number of

　　children showed interest in reading

　　C．a minority of primary school children read properly

　　D．a huge percentage of children read regularly

　　．What do we know about Reading Recovery?

　　A．An evaluation of it will be made sometime this year.

　　B．Weak readers on the project were the most hardworking.

　　C．It aims to train special teachers to help children with reading.

　　D．Children on the project showed noticeable progress in reading.

　　4．Reading for fun is important because book-loving children _________.
