Ⅲ .阅读理解

A

The view over a valley of a tiny village with thatched(草盖的) roof cottages around a church; a drive through a narrow village street lined with thatched cottages painted pink or white; the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm building—these are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.

Thatching is in fact the oldest of all the building crafts practiced in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottages and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too.

Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses.

Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and warm in winter.

In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings.

However, they may lack the money to allow them to import the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done in the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years and is an effective defence against the heat.

1.Which of the following remains a unique feature of the English countryside?

A.Cottages with thatched roofs.

B.Churches with cottages around them.

C.Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.

D.Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses.

2.What do we know about thatching as a craft?

A.It is quite different from what it used to be.

B.It is in most cases handed down among family members.

C.It is practiced on farms all over England.

D.It is a short-term activity.

3.Thatched houses are still preferred because of ______.

A.their beautiful colors

B.their easy maintenance

C.their cheap and ready-made materials

D.their style and comfort

4.People in developing countries also live under thatch because ______.

A.they like thatched houses better than other buildings

B.thatch is an effective defence against the heat

C.thatched roof houses are the cheapest

D.thatched cottages are a big tourist attraction

答案及解析:

这是一篇说明文。介绍英国一种独特的工艺——草顶屋。许多发展中国家的人们多是因经济原因而住草顶屋;而英国的草顶屋舒适又耐久,因此深受当地人们追捧。

1.A.事实细节题。根据第一段最后一行Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.和第三段中Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, maintaining and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses.可得知草顶屋至今仍是英国乡村一道独特的风景。

2.B.推理判断题。从第三段的Thatching is a solitary(独自的) craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practiced today has changed very little since the Middle Ages.可推断该手艺是家传的。

4.C.事实细节题。从第四段中得知发展中国家的人们选择草顶屋是因为没钱选择更好的建筑材料。

B

The snow has paralysed(使瘫痪) transport in China during the country's most important vacation period, the celebration of the Chinese New Year. Not only have transport delays hindered personal trips, but they have also slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets. Consequently, in Zhengzhou, the capital city of Henan Province, tomato prices have doubled, and the cost of 47 other vegetables has increased by 36%, as reported by local media at the end of January.

According to an inside PR source, “wholesalers in Beijing were quoted as saying that only about 20% of the usual fresh vegetable supplies were reaching the city.” As an Asian country with a diet based on fresh produce, the shortage of vegetables and the rise in prices is not only affecting fresh food producers, but also the final consumers.

In terms of production, this is the worst snow disaster to hit China in the last 50 years, affecting a total of 9.4 million hectares of farmland in the country, according to a report published on 4 February 2008 by Feng Tao of Xinhua News, at the Chinese government website. Most of the crops devastated(毁坏) by the frost are located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the traditional natural border between North and South China.

Chen Xiwen, Director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Rural Work, pointed out at the end of last week that “the blizzard disaster in the south has had a severe impact on winter crops, and the impact on fresh vegetables could be catastrophic in certain areas”, as stated in the Xinhua News report.

The Chinese government has been quick to take extreme measures. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas most seriously affected by the harsh weather. The aim of this initiative is to provide farmers with technical assistance to minimize their losses.

5. From this passage, we can know that the snow happened ______.

A. during the Spring Festival

B. in the coldest days of the winter

C. in the north of China

D. it's not mentioned here

6. What's the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph four?

A. Worst. B. Snowstorm.

C. Cold weather. D. Biggest.

7. This passage mainly tells us ______ .

A. the snow in the south of China caused many problems

B. the effect of the snow in the south of China on the fresh food

C. the snow in the south of China slowed the delivery of fresh produce to markets

D. the Chinese government has taken extreme measures to help the suffered farmers

8. The Chinese Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) has sent 13 teams of experts to 8 of the areas to ______.

A. help the farmers plant crops

B. give money to the farmers

C. give directions to the farmers with their technic

D. deliver crops for the farmers

答案及解析

5.A.第一段开头提到时间是在庆祝春节期间。

6.B.本文开头就提到大雪对人们产生的影响,可以看出发生的是雪灾。

7.B.文章分析了大雪对农产品如蔬菜、水果的影响,C、D只提了其中的一个方面,不全面。
