For example, every day we ride folding bikes to and from our work places. This is our way of helping reduce pollution in Beijing.”The city s elderly actively participate in many of the city s sports teams.

Passage 2: BADDA 解析：1B. 细节题。本题问“王亚妮的画第一次展出是在_。 ”中心词是“were first shown ” ，经过定位答案出现在第一段的最后一句。该句明确指出王亚妮的画第一次是在上海展出的。据此，答案是B。2A. 细节题。本题问“在8 岁前，她特别擅长画_。 ”中心词是“ good at drawing ”和“ before eight” 。因为第三段的第一句话提到王亚妮在8 岁的时候她的一幅猴子画被印在了中国邮票上， 所以据此我们可知王亚妮8 岁前的事情应该在第二段可以找到。读完第二段的第二句，我们就会发现，8 岁前的王亚妮喜欢画动物，尤其擅长画猴子和猫。据此，答案是 A。3D. 细节题。本题问“为何她的父亲带她去动物园和公园？”中心词是“zoos”和“parks” 。经过定位， 答案在第二段的第5 句，该句指出， 王亚妮的父亲之所以带她去动物园和公园就是为了让她得到一些作画的灵感。据此，答案是D。4D. 细节题。本题问“王亚妮是什么时候在美国华盛顿举办个人画展的？”中心词是“ Washington D. C. ” 。经过定位，答案在最后一段的最后一句。该句很清楚的表明是在她14 岁的时候。据此，答案是D。5A. 是非题。是非题的解题第一步是先浏览四个选项。A 的意思是“她作画的风格是用明亮的色彩。”B 的意思是“她在14 岁的时候开始学习画动物。”C 的意思是“在6 岁的时候她就画了2000 幅画作了。”D 的意思是“她的父亲经常教她如何作画。”下面我们分别对这四个选项进行定位。A 的中心词是“bright colors ” ，经过定位，我们发现第二段的倒数第二句确实指出王亚妮的风格就是色彩明亮。所以，A 是正确的， A 就是我们的答案。B 不需要我们定位都可以判断是错误的，因为前面我们已经知道王亚妮8 岁前就开始画动物了。 C 的中心词是“ 6” （6 岁） ，答案在第二段的第一句。该句大意说，在6 岁的时候，王亚妮共画了4000 幅作品。据此可知C 是错误的。 D 的中心词是“ art lessons” ，答案在第二段的第三句。该句明确指出她父亲并没有教她作画，所以，D 也是错误的。Passage 3: One day in 1965, when I was a library worker at school, a teacher came to me.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 6 页，共 43 页 - - - - - - - - - 学习资料收集于网络，仅供参考学习资料express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations-the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar（粗俗的） . 1. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings was that _. A. they could express actions and things B. they could communicate with each other C. they could agree upon letters D. they could write and combine them 2. What is true about the words? A. They are used to express only thoughts and feelings. B. They are not signs. C. They are simply sounds. D. They can only be written. 3. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The more we read and learn, the more words mean to us. B. The more we read and learn, the more knowledge we will acquire. C. The more we read and learn, the more learned we are. D. The more we read and learn, the more literate we beco
