新課標(biāo)人教版高三英語(yǔ)第二輪復(fù)習(xí)專題講座七：不同體裁文章的閱讀方法

　　不同體裁文章的閱讀方法

　　不同體裁的文章，作者的寫作手法不同，表達(dá)的方式千差萬(wàn)別。體裁不同，要求使用的閱讀方法也不一樣。因此，掌握不同體裁的文章的閱讀方法有助于我們提高閱讀效率、加深對(duì)文章的理解。下面分別談?wù)動(dòng)洈⑽摹⒄f(shuō)明文、議論文、應(yīng)用文的閱讀方法和技巧。

　　第一節(jié) 記敘文的閱讀方法

　　記敘文講述的是發(fā)生在當(dāng)前或過(guò)去或?qū)��?lái)事情的經(jīng)過(guò)。簡(jiǎn)而言之，記敘文就是講故事，包括人物或故事情節(jié)。常見的記敘文根據(jù)其用途可分為文學(xué)記敘文和說(shuō)明記敘文：文學(xué)記敘文以虛構(gòu)為主，如趣聞逸事、傳說(shuō)、寓言、傳奇故事、短篇小說(shuō)、科幻小說(shuō)等；說(shuō)明記敘文以事實(shí)為依據(jù)，包括歷史、傳記、新聞報(bào)道、日記等。無(wú)論哪一種記敘文作者都要交代何人何時(shí)何地為什么、怎么樣、干了何事等等，這也就是我們常說(shuō)的“5Ws and 1H”。這是我們?cè)陂喿x記敘文時(shí)要首先了解的，接著按照線索弄清事情的來(lái)龍去脈，就能理解整個(gè)故事。

　　特別值得注意的是：記敘文的敘事順序有順敘和倒敘兩種，有時(shí)候作者為了吸引讀者會(huì)采用倒敘的方法，即不按照事情發(fā)展的先后順序來(lái)敘述，而是從最重要、最能引人入勝的事件開始，然后再回過(guò)頭來(lái)追敘故事的開端和經(jīng)過(guò)。閱讀時(shí)要學(xué)會(huì)從事情本身的發(fā)展去理解故事情節(jié)而不要只看事件在文中出現(xiàn)的先后位置。

　　另外，講故事必定有其目的：或證明某一理論，或闡明某一概念，或贊美某種美德，或譴責(zé)某種罪惡等等。我們?cè)陂喿x時(shí)要通過(guò)作者的重要細(xì)節(jié)描寫聯(lián)系故事情節(jié)去領(lǐng)會(huì)作者的意圖，對(duì)作者重墨潑就的細(xì)節(jié)描寫要重點(diǎn)關(guān)注。

　　概括起來(lái)一句話：讀記敘文的關(guān)鍵是抓情節(jié)。 抓住了故事情節(jié)，就理解了文章的脈絡(luò)，其他的就迎刃而解了。

　　下面請(qǐng)閱讀一篇記敘文，看看你能不能抓住故事的主要情節(jié)。

　�。�05浙江卷 A 篇）

　　Compassion is a desire within us to help others．With effort, we can translate compassion into action．An experience last weekend showed me this is true．I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly．These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness．But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson．This untidy man walked up to my register(收款機(jī)) with a box of biscuits．He said he was out of cash(現(xiàn)金), had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards．He asked if we could let him have the food on trust．He promised to repay me the next day．

　　I couldn’t help staring at him．I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way．I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world．I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so．I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my joB．

　　Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up．If anything, he looked more pitiable．“Charge it to me,” was all he saiD．

　　What I had been feeling was pity．Pity is soft and safe and easy．Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action．I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either．Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself．I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.

　　解析：故事采用順敘的敘事方法，主要情節(jié)發(fā)展如下：One aged gentleman begged me to have the food on trust and promised to repay the next day.---- I told him the store rules didn’t allow me to do so.---- Another man wanted me to charge the food to him.----I paid for the biscuits myself. 作者用第一人稱講述自己親身經(jīng)歷的這段故事，讓人覺(jué)得親切可信，同時(shí)也增強(qiáng)了文章的感染力。作者說(shuō)自己通過(guò)這段故事學(xué)會(huì)了compassion（同情），事實(shí)上也是在號(hào)召讀者多伸出同情之手，共建和諧社會(huì)。

　　抓住了故事的情節(jié)，了解了作者的寫作意圖。再來(lái)做理解題，就容易多了。請(qǐng)看看下面幾道理解題：

　　41．The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ______.

　　A．promised to obey the store rules

　　B．forgot to take any money with him

　　C．hoped to have the food first and pay later

　　B．Helping others is easier said than done.

　　C．Experience is better gained through practice.

　　D．Obeying the rules means more than compassion.

　　“Come in. Kim. Have a seat, please.” said Bill Williams, the manager. This was Kim’s first experience with an assessment. After only six months he was due for a raise if this assessment was satisfactory.

　　“Kim,” began Bill Williams. “I am very pleased with the quality of your work. I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work. My only concern is that you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions.”

　　“But,” Replied Kim, “I have always completed every assignment you have given me. Mr. Williams.”

　　People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet-the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race, At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.

　　Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932．Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World war II started, the Taylor moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult (成人) roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf ? (1966)

　　Taylor’s fame(名聲)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.

　　Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (傳奇人物) of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky, she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies any more. Instead, she puts her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others — several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.

　　60．The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she           .

　　A．was small in size      B．was too young

　　C．did not play well enough     D．did not show much interest

　　61．What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both          .

　　A．popular all their lives     B．famous actresses

　　C．suecessful when very young   D．rich and kind-hearted

　　62．Taylor became Best Actress at the age of          .

　　第二節(jié) 說(shuō)明文的閱讀方法

　　說(shuō)明文用平實(shí)的語(yǔ)言客觀地解釋或探討各種問(wèn)題，如機(jī)器的制造過(guò)程、自然或社會(huì)現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因、工程項(xiàng)目的規(guī)劃或問(wèn)題的解決方案等等，介紹自然科學(xué)、社會(huì)科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的最新成果，社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展過(guò)程中出現(xiàn)的新生事物等等。說(shuō)明事物可采用多種方式：例如舉例、分類法或類比、對(duì)比法，給事物下定義或分析事物產(chǎn)生的原因以及后果。舉例說(shuō)明文使用例子說(shuō)明事物闡明觀點(diǎn)；分解展開法著重于事物的區(qū)別、差異，分類展開法則強(qiáng)調(diào)事物的相似之處；類比說(shuō)明事物如何相似，對(duì)比說(shuō)明事物如何不同；因果說(shuō)明文表明事物發(fā)生的原因及結(jié)果。除了用文字說(shuō)明以外，說(shuō)明文中常常使用數(shù)據(jù)、圖片等資料。

　　無(wú)論采用什么說(shuō)明方法，作者都是為了說(shuō)明事物的本質(zhì)特征、清晰地展現(xiàn)所說(shuō)明的事物。

　　因此，閱讀說(shuō)明文的關(guān)鍵是：抓住事物的特點(diǎn)，即抓住說(shuō)明對(duì)象的本質(zhì)特征。

　　下面具體看看兩篇說(shuō)明文。

　　A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.

　　The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%--40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.

　　Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristbanD．The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盤). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver’s response.

　　Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.

　　In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.

　　The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the markets will bring the product to market within about a year.

　　While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon（現(xiàn)象）is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢綜合癥）.

　　In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response（回應(yīng)）in time for their aged parents living by themselves.

　　The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.

　　68．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _________.

　　A．their earlier experience of feeling lonely

　　B．the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries

　　C．the common worry about their income

　　D．the geographical distance between parents and children

　　69．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _________.

　　A．live in the countries with more money

　　B．seek a better place for their aged parents

　　C．continue their studies abroad

　　D．realize their dreams in foreign countries

　　70．If young people go abroad, _________.

　　A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all

　　B．they can give some help to their parents back home

　　C．they cannot do what they should for their parents

　　D．they believe what they actually do is right

　　71．From the last paragraph, we can infer that ________.

　　A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different

　　B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our society

　　C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad

　　D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”

　　【實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練練習(xí)二十】（05遼寧卷 E篇）

　　There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles（肌肉）. This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.

　　The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly traineD．This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen（氧氣）we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.

　　72．The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because _________.

　　A．a(chǎn) mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingers

　　B．a(chǎn) wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakes

　　C．a(chǎn) movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistake

　　D．a(chǎn) slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake

　　73．What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?

　　A．She must dance on the point of her shoes.

　　B．She must receive long-time training.

　　C．She must turn around on one foot.

　　D．She must perform again and again.

　　74．The experiments done by some scientists showed that ________.

　　A．some male patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experiments

　　B．the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patients

　　C．the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart trouble

　　D．the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen

　　75．What would be the best title for this text?

　　A．Training Our Bodies B．Physical Activities

　　C．Movement Training D．Extra Body Effort

　　"Have you ever been out on a boat and felt it lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the

　　water and felt the rush of energy as waves came over you?" asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh．"There is certainly a lot of energy in waves," he said．Scientists are working to use that energy to make electricity．Most waves are created when

　　winds blow across the ocean．"The wind starts out by making little ripples (漣漪) , but if they

　　keep on blowing, those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves," Taylor saiD．“Waves

　　are one of nature 's ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey.”

　　When waves come toward the shore, people can set up dams to block the water and send it

　　through a large wheel called a turbine (渦輪機(jī)) ．The turbine can then power an electrical

　　generator to produce electricity.

　　"The resource is huge," said Janet Swain of the World watch Institute．"We will never run out of wave power．" Besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil or coal．Oceans cover three-quarters of the Earth's surface - that would make wave power seem ideal for creating energy throughout the world, though there are some weak points yet to overcome．

　　Swain said that wave power still costs too much money．She also said that its effects on sea animals are still unknown．What is more, wave power could affect fishing and boat traffiC．

　　Traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may someday run out．"Demand for energy to

　　power our TVs and computers, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is rising rapidly throughout the world," Swain said．In the future when you turn on a light, an ocean wave could be

　　providing the electricity!

　　64．The writer uses the two questions at the beginning of the passage to _______.

　　A．test the readers' knowledge about waves

　　B．draw the readers' attention to the topic

　　C．show Jamie Taylor's importance

　　D．invite the readers to answer them

　　65．The underlined phrase "picking up" (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _______.

　　A．starting again B．speeding up C．gathering D．improving

　　66．We can make better use of wave energy if we _______.

　　A．shorten its journey to thousands of homes

　　B．build more small power stations on the oceans

　　C．reduce the cost of turning it into electric power

　　D．quicken the steps of producing electricity

　　67．It can be inferred that some day we might not worry about ________.

　　A．a(chǎn)ir pollution  B．our boat traffic

　　C．our power supply D．our supply of sea fish

　　To extinguish (熄滅) different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers have been inventeD．They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out. Most portable (手提式的) kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires. The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

　　Since fuel, oxygen (氧氣) and heat must be present in order for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire. If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out. The cooling method is the most common way to put out a fire. Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

　　Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen. This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things. A blanket may be used do cover a small fire.

　　A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

　　The method that is used to put out a fire depends upon the type of fire. Fires have been grouped in three classes. Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called Class A fires. These materials usually help keep the fire on. Such fires can be stopped most readily by cooling with water.

　　A new eight-kilometre road is under construction that links the port area with the motorway system. It is expected to carry 20,000 trucks and cars a day, which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the centre of the city. As part of the project, two four-kif0metre road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city, one for traffic to the north and the other for traffic to the south. The two tunnels are about 20 metres below the surface and are 12 metres wide, providing for two lanes of traffic in each direction.

　　In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel. The lighting is at the top of the tunnel, practically at its highest point. There will also be electronic signs at frequent intervals (間隔). They show traffic conditions ahead, and can be seen clearly by drivers. The wall is made up of four main elements, which include a waterproofing covering and, on the inside of the tunnel, a concrete lining(混凝土襯砌).

　　Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat. The surface of the road lies on the base, which is made of concrete and steel. The drainage system (排水系統(tǒng)), just below the road surface on one aide, removes any extra liquid, particularly water. In the event of fire, the fire main, which is made of steel, pipes water to many fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel. The fire main is at the side of the tunnel, and at the level of the road surface. Other systems in the tunnel will include emergency phones.

　　72．Each of the tunnels under construction is ___________.

　　A．eight kilometres long and twenty metres wide

　　B．eight kilometres long and six metres wide

　　C．four kilometres long and twenty metres wide

　　D．four kilometres long and six metres wide

　　73．Which part of the tunnel in the diagram is used to pipe out extra water?

　　A．1．  B．3．      C．5．   D．6．

　　74．Driving in the tunnel, one can know the traffic conditions ahead through ________.

　　A．the lights  B．the electronic signs  C．the trucks and cars   D．the emergency phones

　　75．The passage is mainly about _____________.

　　A．the construction of a road                  B．the design of a road

　　C．the construction of two tunnels              D．the design of two tunnels

　　第三節(jié) 議論文的閱讀方法

　　議論文也就是說(shuō)理性的文章，一般由論點(diǎn)、論據(jù)和論證過(guò)程組成。議論文都要提出論題、觀點(diǎn)、提供充分的證據(jù)（evidence），使用一定的邏輯方法證明觀點(diǎn)或得出結(jié)論。

　　閱讀議論文我們要抓住論題、抓住作者提出的觀點(diǎn)、給出的例證及最后得出的結(jié)論。抓住了論題、抓住了觀點(diǎn)，我們就把握了中心，再結(jié)合作為論據(jù)的諸多事例和理由之間以及它們和觀點(diǎn)/結(jié)論之間的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系，我們就能理解文章的結(jié)構(gòu)。因此，閱讀議論文的關(guān)鍵是：抓論題、抓觀點(diǎn)。

　　看看下面一篇例文：

　�。�05 江蘇卷 E段）

　　The twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger .Many things caused the changes, but, in my opinion, the most important was the progress in science.

　　Scientific research in physics and biology has vastly broadened our views. It has given us a deeper knowledge of the structure of matter and of the universe, it has brought us a better understanding of the nature of life and of its continuous development. Technology in the application of science has made big advances that have benefited us in nearly every part of life.

　　The continuation of such activities in the twenty-first century will result in even greater advantages to human beings: in pure science—a wider and deeper knowledge in all fields of learning; in applied science—a more reasonable sharing of material benefits, and better protection of the environment.

　　Sadly, however, there is another side to the picture. The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankinD．The application of science and technology to the development and production of weapons of mass destruction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons, Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use was so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.

　　William Shakespeare saiD．“The web of our life is of a mingled yarn（紗線）, good and ill together. “The above brief review of the application of only one part of human activities—science seems to prove what Shakespeare saiD．But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war?

　　解析：作者在第一段提出論題：The progress in science caused the changes in the twentieth century. 接下來(lái)，第二、三段作者提出論據(jù)：The progress in science has brought  us advantages and the continuation of the progress will surely result in even greater advantages.第四段作者從另一方面提出論據(jù)：The creativity of science has been employed in doing damage to mankinD．再接下來(lái)，按行文結(jié)構(gòu)作者應(yīng)該作出結(jié)論，但作者在第五段并沒(méi)有直接說(shuō)出不言自明的結(jié)論（We should separate the good from the ill.），而是用了幾個(gè)問(wèn)句：But does it have to be so? Must the ill always go together with the good? Are we biologically programmed for war? 這樣可引起讀者對(duì)結(jié)論的深入思考，引起讀者的重視。

　　看看下面的理解題：

　　72．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

　　73．From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that       .

　　A．a(chǎn) great many nuclear weapons were actually used for war

　　B．a(chǎn) large number of nuclear weapons should have been used for war

　　C．the author is doubtful about the ruin of human beings by nuclear weapons

　　D．the author is anxious about the huge number of nuclear weapons on the earth

　　74．The underlined word “mingled” in the last paragraph most probably means     .

　　A．simple B．mixed C．sad D．happy

　　75．What do you think the author is most likely to suggest if he continues to write?

　　A．Further application of science to war.

　　B．More reading of William Shakespeare.

　　C．Proper use of science in the new century.

　　D．Effective ways to separate the good from the ill.

　　How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?

　　Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(棲息地). Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

　　Zoos claim(聲稱) to educate people and save endangered species(物種), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布區(qū)). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.

　　The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

　　Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangereD．Captive breeding(圈養(yǎng)繁殖) of endangered big cats. Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wilD．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

　　Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.

　　64．How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?

　　A．Dangerous. B．Unhappy. C．Natural. D．Easy.

　　65．In the state of zoochosis, animals _________.

　　A．remain in cages  B．behave strangely

　　C．a(chǎn)ttack other animals D．enjoy moving around

　　66．What does the author try to argue in the passage?

　　A．Zoos are not worth the public support.

　　B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.

　　C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings.

　　D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

　　67．The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _________.

　　A．pointing out the faults in what zoos do

　　B．using evidence he has collected at zoos

　　C．questioning the way animals are protected

　　D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats

　　68．Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that __________.

　　A．zoos have to keep animals in small cages

　　B．most animals in zoos are endangered species

　　C．some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos

　　D．it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

　　【實(shí)戰(zhàn)演練練習(xí)二十五】（04上海卷 C篇）

　　We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

　　Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have to tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.

　　Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well—respected school. This defend of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child form a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.

　　The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.

　　82．The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________.

　　A．bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.

　　B．children from well—respected schools tend to have good jobs

　　C．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets

　　D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success

　　83．What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?

　　A．Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.

　　B．There would be more opportunities and excellence.

　　C．Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.

　　D．Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

　　84．The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________.

　　A．jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection

　　B．computers should be selected to take over many jobs

　　C．special classed are necessary to keep the school standards

　　D．schools with academic subjects should be done away with

　　85．The passage mainly focuses on ___________.

　　A．schools and certificates             B．examination and equality

　　C．opportunity and employment         D．standards and reputation
