Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains

The book mainly presents us with the American Indian leaders of the past. It features many profiles and biographies including Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Little Crow and Lozen Quanah etc. written by author Charles Eastman, and I’m sure you will be interested in it.

Name: Sitting Bull

Birth: 1831

Death: 12-15-1890

He was a great hero and is respected by many American Indians. In a

1997 documentary (纪录片) — The Great Tribes, he was known as a

holy man, a composer of songs and an artist. Under him, the Sioux

and Cheyenne Nations unified. He was advised to go on a European

tour in 1887, but he turned it down to defend these two nations from

being separated again. He led his people during years of resistance to

United States government policies and was killed by Indian agency

police on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation.

Name: Crazy Horse

Birth: 1842

Death: 9-5-1877

Crazy Horse was a legendary warrior(勇士) and a gentle leader as

well as a brave man who stood for the highest ideal of the Sioux,

celebrated for his battle skills as well as his efforts to preserve Native

American traditions and way of life. Resisting efforts to force the

Sioux on to reservations, he fought alongside Sitting Bull and others

in the American-Indian Wars. Charles Eastman described him in his

book Indian Heroes as “a man of deeds and not of words

Name: Red Cloud

Birth: 1822

Death: 12-10-1909

He was against the movement of the white settlers into the Black Hills.

In 1868, he refused to sign a treaty (条约), which stated that the Black

Hills didn’t belong to people. The treaty also stated that these areas

couldn’t be entered without the government’s permission. According to Eastman’s book Indian H e roes, he was said to have fought against the

treaty, forcing the government to give in and pull out of the area.

Name: Lozen Quanah

Birth: late 1840s

Death: 1890

Known as the youngest sister of Red Cloud, she devoted herself to the

people. She was described in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman as a heroine good at riding horses

and using a bow and arrow to drive attackers away. This skill was considered to be “one of most honored skills among the Indians”.

60. Which of the following is NOT true about Crazy Horse?

A. He was friendly to his soldier.

B. He showed great courage.

C. He was a great talker.

D. He was respected.

61. From the passage we can infer that __________.

A. Sitting Bull disliked traveling

B. Indian Heroes was a book on Indian history

C. in the 1880s Indian soldiers were mainly armed with bows and arrows

D. in the 1850s Indian women were not allowed to ride horses

62. The main purpose of the passage is to __________.

A. show Indians’ lives to readers

B. describe great Indian heroes and heroines

C. show the history of the Indians

D. comment on a history book

60. 参考答案： C

考点：细节题

解析：题目问的是：描述Crazy Horse这个人时，以下选项哪一个是错误的？那我们定位到

Name: Crazy Horse这段。选项A说他对他的手下很友善，选项B说他是一个很有勇气的

人。这段中提到了“ a gentle leader as well as a brave man”，他是友善的领导也是勇敢的人。

所以AB选项均符合文章内容。选项C说他是一个非常健谈的人。文中提到“a man of deeds

and not of words”他是一个务实的人，并且不善言谈，所以选项C是错误描述他的选项，答

案选C。

61. 参考答案： C

考点：细节题

解析：题目问的是：我们可以从文章中推断出什么。选项A说的是Sitting Bull不喜欢旅游，

我们定位到Sitting Bull这段的这句话“He was advised to go on a European tour in 1887, but he

turned it down to defend these two nations from being separated again.”他被建议在1887年去欧

洲旅游，但是他拒绝了，目的是想捍卫两国，防止他们再次分裂。所以和他喜不喜欢旅游没

有直接关系，选项A错误。选项B说的是《印度英雄》这本书是讲印度历史的。定位文章

开头“The book mainly presents us with the American Indian leaders of the past.”这本书主要是

呈现过去的美洲印第安人。所以选项B错误。选项C说的是在1880年代印度士兵主要装备

弓箭。定位Name: Lozen Quanah这段，“She was described in Peter Aleshire’s Warrior Woman as

a heroine good at riding horses and using a bow and arrow to drive attackers away. This skill was

”其中说的是骑马和使用弓

considered to be “one of the most honored skills among the Indians”．

箭驱赶侵略者是当时在印度人中最受尊敬的一种技能之一。所以选项C正确。

62．参考答案： B

考点：主旨题

解析：题目问的是：写这篇文章的主要目的是什么。纵观全文，这是一篇介绍《Indian Heroes and Great Chieftains》这本书的文章，这本书主要介绍的是过去的美洲印第安的英雄们，而

文章摘录了其中的几个英雄的事迹。所以符合选项B。

Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ” Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box. “You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.” the salesgirl said. “Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years lat er.” “Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem.” Peter said. After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t fin d it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had. Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop. “Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!” “I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills. “Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you,I never expected it.” 26. Which of the following best describes Peter’s word game? A. It was made around 40 years ago. B. It had game boards in different sizes. C. It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal. D. It had little pieces of wood in different colors. 27. What did the salesgirl probably think of Peter’s word game? A. Old and handy. B. Rare and valuable. C. Classic and attractive. D. Colorful and interesting 28. Peter got the names of the game fans from _________. A. an auction B. the Internet C. a game shop D. the second-hand shop 29. What happened at the end of the story? A. Peter gave the girl $300 as a reward. B. The salesgirl became Peter’s friend. C. Peter returned the word game for $ 1,000. D. The salesgirl felt confused to see Peter again. 30. What is the main theme of the story? A. It’s important to keep a promise. B. It’s great to share in other people’s happiness. C. We should be grateful for the help from others. D. Something rare is worth a large amount of money. B When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing w ith my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think lik e a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I

(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案

（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
