TEXT A

The meridians of longitude are imaginary great circles drawn from pole to pole around the earth. By international agreement, the meridian of longitude passing through Greenwich, England, is numbered zero. The earth is divided into 360 degrees, and the meridians are numbered east and west from Greenwich. There are 180 degrees of longitude east of Greenwich and 180 degrees in the westerly direction. New York has a longitude of 74 degrees west (74oW) which means that it lies on the 74th meridian west of Greenwich.

Since the sun appears to travel around the earth in 24 hours, it will move 360/24 or 15 degrees in one hour. This reasoning can be used by navigators to determine their longitude. Imagine that we have set sail from Greenwich, England, after having set a very accurate clock, or chronometer, to the local Greenwich time. As we travel westward toward New York, we notice that the sun is going “slower” than our chronometer. At the time that our timepiece reads 12 o’clock, the sun has not quite reached the zenith. As a matter of fact, when our clock reads noon, what it really means is that it’s noon in Greenwich, England. Our clock continues to tell us the time, not at our present location, but at Greenwich. Let us wait until the sun is directly overhead (noon at our location) and then read the time on our clock. Suppose it reads 1 o’clock. This means that there is one hour’s difference in time between our longitude and that of Greenwich. As we mentioned earlier, this corresponds to exactly 15 degrees of longitude, so our longitude must be 15oW. The world is divided into 24 time zones, and each zone corresponds to 15 degrees of longitude. New York is approximately 5 time zones west of Greenwich, so the time difference must be about 5 hours. By maintaining chronometers on Greenwich time, ships can determine their longitude on any sunny day by merely noting the difference in hours between Greenwich time and local sun time and multiplying this difference by 15 degrees.

Of course, longitude gives only half of the information needed to determine our precise location. We must also know our latitude, which tells us how far we are north or south of the Equator. The Equator is the zero line for the measurement of latitude. Circles are drawn parallel to the Equator to indicate other values of latitude. There are 90 degrees of south latitude.

In the Northern Hemisphere, there is a star called Polaris almost directly over the North Pole. This makes it possible to determine the latitude of a given point by setting our sextant to measure the angle between Polaris, the North Star, and the horizon. Mathematicians tell us that this angle is equal to the latitude at the point in question.

To get an idea of our location, therefore, we need to know local time, Greenwich time, and the angle between Polaris and the horizon.

1. The passage is mainly about ____

a. the latitude

b. the longitude

c. how to know one’s location on the earth surface

d. how to determine local time

2. suppose it is 18:00 in Greenwich, England , then the local time in New York is ____

a. 18:00

b. around 13:00

c. around 23:00

d.17:00

3. “Chronometer” in para 2. Refers to______

a. length measurement tool b weight measurement tool c. time measurement tool d. chronology

4. to get the precise location of a ship on the sea, the shipman must know____

a. the longitude of his place only

b. the latitude of his position only

c. the number degrees he lies east or west of Greenwich

d. both his latitude and longitud

e.

5.from the last paragraph, we know that _____

a. to know local time and Greenwich time is to compute the number of latitude of the place

b. to know the angle between Polaris and the horizon is to compute the number of the longitude of the place

c. we need to know local time, Greenwich time and the angle between Polaris and the horizon in order to compute the longitude and latitude of the place

d.we need to know local time,Greenwich time and the angle between Polaris and the horizon if we want to be a mathematician

TEXT B

In a recent book entitled The Psychic Life of Insects, Professor Bouvier says that we must be careful not to credit the little winged fellows with intelligence when they behave in what seems like an intelligent manner. They may be only reacting. I would like to confront the Professor with and instance of reasoning power on the part of an insect which cannot be explained away in any other manner.

During the summer of 1899, while I was at work on my doctoral thesis, we kept a female wasp at our cottage. It was more like a child of our own. That was one of the ways we told the difference.

It was still a young wasp when we got it (thirteen or fourteen years old) and for some time we could not get it to eat or drink, it was so shy. Since it was a female we decided to call it Miriam, but soon the children’s nickname for

it---“Pudge”---became a fixture, and “Pudge” it was from that time on.

One evening I had been working late in my laboratory fooling around with some gin and other chemicals, and when leaving the room, I tripped over a nine of diamonds which someone had left lying on the floor and knocked over my card index which contained the names and addresses of all the larvae worth knowing in North America. The cards went everywhere.

I was too tired to stop to pick them up that night, and went sobbing to bed, just as mad as I could be. As I went, however, I noticed the wasp was flying about in circles over the scattered cards. “Maybe Pudge will pick them up”, I said half laughingly to myself, never thinking for one moment that such should be the case.

When I came down the next morning Pudge was still asleep in her box, evidently tired out. And well she might have been. For there on the floor lay the cards scattered all about just as I had left them the night before. The faithful little insect had buzzed about all night trying to come to some decision about picking them up and arranging them in the boxes for me, and then had figured out for herself that, as she knew practically nothing of larvae of any sort except wasp larvae, she would probably make more of a mess by rearranging them than if she had left them on the floor for me to fix. It was just too much for her to tackle and, discouraged, she went over and lay down in her box, where she cried herself to sleep.

If this is not an answer to Professor Bouvier’s statement, I do not know what is.

6. Professor Bouvier believes that insects____

a. do not have intelligence

b. behave in an intelligent way

c are capable of reasoning d. are more intelligent than we thought

7. On the evening the author fell over, someone____

a. had moved his card his card index

b. had been playing card games

c. had knocked over his boxes containing cards

d. had looked at his collection of diamonds

8. when he came to the laboratory the next morning, the author____

a. saw that his cards had already been rearranged

b. realized that the wasp had been trying to help

c. found evidence of the wasp’s intelligence

d. found his index cards still scattered about the room

9. the author’s account of his wasp’s intelligence______

a. is imaginary

b. is convincing

c. firmly proves his point of view

d. is valuable for insect study

10. the purpose of this article is to _____

a. oppose Professor Bourvier’s point of view

b. support Porfessor Bouvier with his own experience

c. further discuss thether insects are intelligent

d. illustrate the working theory behind the author’s thesis

TEXT C

He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good-natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and most just and wisest man.” Yet, this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.

The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized dogs and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.

Socrates’ methods of teaching was to ask questions and , by pretending not to know the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had been unsurpassed in influence in all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy. Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.

Socrates encouraged new idea and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.

Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.

11. in the first paragraph, the word “yet” is used to introduce____

a. a contrast

b. a sequence

c. an emphasis

d. an example

12. Socrates was condemned to death because he ____

a. believed in law

b. was a philosopher

c. published outspoken philosophical articles

d. advocated original opinions

13. the word “unsurpassed” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____

a. untold

b. unequaled

c. unnoticed

d. unexpected

14. by mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer implies that _____

a. it was surprising that Socrates was so famous

b. Socrates was not learned as he is reputed to have been

c. Socrates used the work of his students in teaching

d. the authorities refused to publish Socrates’ work

15. Socrates accepted the death penalty to show _____

a. his belief in his students

b. his contempt for conservatives

c. his recognition of the legal system

d. that he was not afraid of death

TEXT D

Senator John F.Kerry’s campaign yesterday seized on the Pentagon’s call-up of thousands of former soldiers for duty in Iraq and Afghanistan to step up its charge that the Bush administration’s management of the military has left the Army spread dangerously thin.

The move demonstrated the Kerry campaign’s increasing willingness to engage Bush on what had been the president’s perceived strength, his handling of national security.

Kerry advisers contend that the call-up of the Individual Ready Reserve is the result of a series of bad decisions and poor war planning by Bush and his top advisers. His campaign released a “fact sheet” and brought forward a retired Air Force chief who campaigned for Bush in 2000 to reinforce its claims.

“The troops are paying the price for arrogant mismanagement and poor planning at the civilian policy level,” retired Air Force Chief of Staff General Merrilll “Tony”McPeak, a Kerry adviser, said in a conference call with reporters yesterday. “The force we have in Iraq today is part of what I call an in-between force—too small to solve the problem and too big to be supported by our force structure.”

The return to duty of 5,600 former military officers and enlisted personnel is the latest issue which the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee has sought to use to draw distinctions between himself and Bush in the area of national security. Both candidates are trying to persuade voters that they are the best stewards of the nation’s defense, and recent polls have shown the public’s confidence in the president’s handling of the war in Iraq is slipping. Kerry has previously called for increasing the size the Army by 40,000 to meet the demands of overseas deployments, a move that has been repeatedly rebuffed by the White House despite growing support in Congress.

The Bush administration maintains that the call-up of soldiers that are required to keep in touch with the Army for as many as four years after leaving service does not mean the Army isn’t large enough. “I don’t think the Army’s too small. We’re using a manpower pool that’s available to us” Robert Smiley, a senior Army official who oversees training, readiness, and mobilization, told reporters yesterday. “This is good personnel management. This is a group of people we can use to fill vacancies.”

The troops, being culled from a total of 111,323 soldiers in the Individual Ready Reserve, are needed to fill jobs as truck drivers, engineers, and military police, officials said. Smiley said that more would probably be called in the future.

Army officials noted yesterday that this is not the first time they have tapped into the IRR. During the 1991 Persian Gulf War over 20,000 former soldiers were mobilized. Since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, 2,533 IRR soldiers have been called-up, 226 of them volunteers. Of the 5,600 IRR soldiers that now have 30 days to report to active duty, officials said more than 300 have volunteered.

16. from the passage, we can infer that____

a. 2533 IRR soldiers were called up this time

b. 226 of the called-up soldiers were volunteers

c. 111,323 soldiers were called up

d. 5,600 soldiers were called up.

17. according to John F. Kerry, the call-up of the former soldiers recently was____

a. one of bad decisions made by Bush administration

b. required to keep in touch with the Army

c. correct

d. not clear

18. the word “rebuff ” in the last sentence of para. 5 probably means____

a. to buff again

b. to reject bluntly, often disdainfully, snub, refuse

c. to plan in advance the expenditure of

d. to review the plan of the expenditure of

19. how long will the soldiers called-up this time serve in the army according to the passage?

a. probably 4 years

b. probably 3 years

c. probably half a year

d. now known

20. the called-up soldiers will probably do the following jobs EXCEPT _____

a. truck drivers

b. engineers

c. military police

d. snipers

C B C

D C A B C A A A D B A C D A B A D

PART Ⅱ READING COMPREHENSION ［25 MIN.］ In this section there are four passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.Mark your choice on your ANSWER SHEET. TEXT A As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe－sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with storerooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town.The people of the pueblos raised what are called “the three sisters”—corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain. The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as small rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today’s Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou. The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and covering of their tents and tipis. 16. What does the passage mainly discuss? A. The architecture of early American Indian buildings. B. The movement of American Indians across North America. C. Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians. D. The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America. 17. It can be inferred from the passage that the dwellings of the Hopi and Zuni were ___ A. very small B. highly advanced C. difficult to defend D. quickly constructed TEXT B Most earthquakes occur within the upper 15 miles of the earth’s surface. But earthquakes can and do occur at all depths to about 460 miles. Their number decreases as the depth increases. At about 460 miles one earthquake occurs only every few years. Near the surface earthquakes may run as high as 100 in a month, but the yearly average does not vary much. In comparison with the total number of earthquakes each year, the number of disastrous earthquakes is very small.[JP] The extent of the disaster in an earthquake depends on many factors. If you carefully build a toy house with an erect set, it will still stand no matter how much you shake the table. But if you build a toy house with a pack of cards, a slight shake of the table will make it fall. An earthquake in Agadir, Morocco, was not strong enough to be recorded on distant instruments, but it completely destroyed the city. Many stronger earthquakes have done

阅读理解训练题 一、四年级语文阅读理解练习 1．阅读文章，回答问题。 讲故事的人和羊（节选） 从前，有一位国王，身边有一个讲故事的人。只要国王躺下休息，他就得给国王讲五个故事。这对日理万机的国王来说，简直是最舒服的休息和莫大的享受。 一天晚上，国王上床后久久不能入睡，那天料理的一些大事老是萦绕在他的脑际，使他无法平静。于是，他命令讲故事的人比平时再多讲几个。那个人多讲了三个故事。国王不满地说：“你尽给我讲些短的，我倒很想听一个比较长的故事。快讲吧，讲完你再去睡觉。” 讲故事的人开始说了：“从前有一个挺富的农夫，带着上千磅的钱币，到集市上买了两千只羊。他赶着这许多羊回家，途中经过的一条河因暴雨而上涨了。他寻找着带羊过河的办法，好不容易才找到一只小船。船太小了，每次只能带一只大羊或两只小羊过河。这个农夫便开始将羊儿一只接一只地摆渡过河。” 刚说完这句话，讲故事的人便当着国王的面睡着了。国王马上摇醒他，要他把这个故事讲完。讲故事的人说：“陛下，这条河相当宽，而船又很小。这里总共有两千只羊，得先让这个农夫将所有的羊都送过河去，然后，我才能告诉你，后来农夫和羊的情况如何了。”国王只好罢休，同意讲故事的人回去睡觉。 （选自《欧洲寓言故事》，陕西师范大学出版社）（1）从文中找出下列词语的近义词。 舒适—________ 环绕—________ 处理—________ 允许—________ （2）“日理万机”在文中指的是________，现在多用来形容________。 （3）国王不让讲故事的人去睡觉的原因是什么？________后来为什么又让了呢？________ （4）读了这个故事，你得到了什么启示呢？ 【答案】（1）舒服；萦绕；料理；同意 （2）国王每天要处理纷繁的政务；工作繁重或者工作非常勤奋； （3）国王不让讲故事的人去睡觉的原因是那天料理了一些大事，使他无法平静；后来又让了是因为讲故事的人讲了一个很长的故事，故事里的农夫要把两千只羊摆渡过河，才能继续讲后面的发展。 （4）我们做事情要适可而止，不可做过了头。 【解析】【分析】（1）本题主要考查对近义词的辨析能力。近义词，是指词汇意义相同或相近的词语，解答本题，要理解词语的意思，然后找出所给词语的近义词。（2）词语理解的考查。认真阅读短文，联系上下文，正确理解词义。（3）考查对课文内容的理解能力。解答时要带着问题读课文整体感知文章内容，再用简洁的语言概括出来即可。（4）本题考查概括文章给人的启示和道理。学生通过感知文本内容，继而理解文本的中心主题以及作

四年级语文课外阅读训练题目及答案

小学语文阅读题解题技巧与方法 一、平心静气审题，切忌粗心。 在解答阅读题时，千万不要慌，要静下心来，按照由易到难，由浅入深的思维方式，先从容易的入手，逐渐的打开思路。粗心是学习的大忌，对于语文的阅读理解也不例外。在审题的时候，要像对待数学试题中的数字一样，认真看清每一个字、词、句、甚至每一个标点，要看清题目的要求，分析问题的提问要点。粗心的同学往往会与正确答案失之交臂。例如要求在正确的句子后面打“√”，有的同学在正确的句子后面打“√”后，又多此一举地在错误的句子后打上了“×”。类似的情况，在考试时常常能见到，粗心是一部分同学在该题项中失分的一个重要原因。因此在做题的时候要仔细认真。 二、熟读全文，整体把握。 一般来说，做题时，我们要先把文章读一遍，有了初步的了解后再开始做题。如果没看懂，还要再读，直到弄懂为止。当然，读第二遍前，可以浏览一下后面问了哪些问题，因为后面的问题中有时会隐匿着文章的主要观点、中心意思及写作思路、行文线索，对我们理解文章很有帮助。因此，我们要教会学生从尽可能多的信息中揣度出文章大概主旨是什么，了解作者的主要写作意图，从而整体把握全文，做到对解题心中有数。 要向学生强调，只要反复阅读、强化感知，才能深刻领悟和准确把握。倘若急于求成，忽视对原文的阅读，只“水过地皮湿”般泛泛而读，不求甚解，草草了事。就会导致对原文一知半解甚至形成错误的认识。在此基础上进行理解，得出的结论，岂不成了“空中楼阁” 三、确定区域，深入思考。 在文章有了整体感知后，我们可以先看题目涉及到文中哪些段落或区域，和哪些语句有关。确定某一答题区域后，再深入思考，仔细弄懂这一段每一句的意思，进而理清段落之间的关系，了解行文思路。有了这一习惯就有可能形成较强分析综合能力。阅读时反复琢磨题干，圈画与之相关的内容，答题时就不需要再从头至尾搜寻，可节省不少宝贵时间。 1、对于选择题 选择正确选项方法有三：直选法、排除法、类推法。 直选法，即直接选出正确答案。这种方法适合于一目了然的题目。答案是自己一下子能确定的。 排除法，通过排除不合要求的选项，将正确的答案显露出来。 类推法，通过合理推断迅速排除某些选项，或根据已知情况推断未知情况，迅速确定答案。 2、对于一些问答题、概括段落大意等题目 准确解答这类题目的最重要最有效的方法是在原文中找答案。大多数题目在文章里是能够"抠"出答案的。当然，找出的语句不一定能够直接使用，这就需要根据题目要求进行加工处理，或摘取词语或压缩主干或抽取要点或重新组织，这就能准确解答。 3、对有关字、词、句的语境意义以及作用之类的题目 （1）字不离词。在理解词语中某个字的意思的时候，必须把它放到这个词语中去考察，即字不离词，这样才能准确的理解这个字的意思。 （2）词不离句。在综合阅读题中，常常要求理解词语在上下文中的含义和作用。这就应根据具体的语言环境即句子本身去推断它的意思，也就是词不离句。至于某个词在句中的表达作用，更要根据具体的语言环境去理解，而不能离开句子作单独解释。

4) For a long time, researchers have tried to nail down just what shapes us--or what, at least, shapes us most. And over the years, they've had a lot of exclamation moments. First it was our parents, particularly our mothers. Then it was our genes. Next it was our peers, who show up last but hold great sway. And all those ideas were good ones--but only as far as they went. Somewhere, there was a sort of temperamental dark matter exerting an invisible gravitational pull of its own. More and more, scientists are concluding that this unexplained force is our siblings. From the time we are born, our brothers and sisters are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They are our scolds, protectors, goads, tormentors, playmates, counselors, sources of envy, objects of pride. They teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to; how to conduct friendships and when to walk away from them. Sisters teach brothers about the mysteries of girls; brothers teach sisters about the puzzle of boys. Our spouses arrive comparatively late in our lives; our parents eventually leave us. Our siblings may be the only people we'll ever know who truly qualify as partners for life. "Siblings," says family sociologist Katherine Conger, "are with us for the whole journey." Within the scientific community, siblings have not been wholly ignored, but research has been limited mostly to discussions of birth order．Older sibs were said to be strivers；younger ones rebels；middle kids the lost souls．The stereotypes were broad，if not entirely untrue，and there the discussion mostly ended． But all that’s changin9．At research centers in the U．S．，Canada，Europe and elsewhere，investigators are launching a wealth of new studies into the sibling dynamic，looking at ways brothers and sisters steer one another int0—or away from--risky behavior how they form a protective buffer(减震器)against family upheaval；how they educate one another about the opposite sex；how all siblings compete for family recognition and come to terms--or blows--over such impossibly charged issues as parental favoritism． From that research，scientists are gaining intriguing insights into the people we become as adults．Does the manager who runs a harmonious office call on the peacemaking skills learned in the family playroom? Does the student struggling with a professor who plays favorites summon up the coping skills acquired from dealing with a sister who was Daddy’s girl? Do husbands and wives benefit from the inter—gender negotiations they waged when their most important partners were their sisters and brothers? All that is under investigation．“Siblings have just been o ff the radar screen until now，”says Conger．But today serious work is revealing exactly how our brothers and sisters influence us．1．The beginning of the passage indicates that A．researchers have found out what shapes us．B．our peer is the last factor influencing us． C．what researchers found contributes in a limited way． D．what researchers found is good and trustworthy．2．In the third paragraph, the author tries to demonstrate that our siblings A．offer us much useful information． B．have great influences on us． C．are the ones who love us completely． D．accompany us throughout our life． 3．In scientific community, previous research on siblings A．mostly focused on the sibling order． B．studied the characteristics of the kids． C．studied the matter in a broad sense． D．wasn’t believable and the discussion ended． 4．Which of the following is NOT sibling dynamic? A．A brother cautions his sister against getting into trouble． B．Sisters have quarrels with each other． C．Siblings compete for parental favoritism． D．Older kids in a family try hard to achieve． 5．From the last paragraph，we can conclude that A．managers learned management skills from the family playroom． B．spouses learned negotiation skills from their siblings． C．studies on siblings are under the way。 D．studies on siblings need thorough investigation． 5) What comes to mind when you hear the word--diversity? Issues of race or gender may spring to mind．Equal rights? Or minority issues? I encourage people to look at a much wider definition of the word．1 would tend to say diversity is “differentness” in any form．A good example of this kind of diversity has been experienced by every person who ever left behind the comforts of home and moved into uncharted territory．Issues of diversity are informed not only by your cultural background and context，but also by your religion，age，field of work，family situation，personality，and countless other factors that make us unique．Diversity affects everyone．

专业四级考试阅读理解模拟练习试题

专业四级考试阅读理解模拟练习试题 As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe －sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably1 like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense2 against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them pueblos3 , which is Spanish for town. The people of the pueblos raised what are called the three sisters - corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery4 and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
