1852. his family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london.

have got surprising memories.a good memory is a great help in learning a language. everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. he hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. they can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. in school it is

after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.28. the passage is mainly about _. a. color blindness b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color and its surprising effects.29. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. a. tell different shapes b. tell orange from yellow c. kill mosquitoes d. see in a weak light30. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? a. women are more careful. b. there are fewer color-blind women c. women are fonder of

本文将的是色盲的相关知识及人类动物对颜色的认知能力28.a考查主旨大意。纵观全文，前面三个段落讲的都是跟色盲相关的知识，而最后一个段落是由色盲延伸到其他的知识，故选a。29.b考查细节理解题。从第三段中“in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”.these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors.”可以看出视锥细胞有助我们区分颜色的不同，故选b项。30.b考查细节理解题。从第一段可知男性患色盲症的几率远远高于女性患色盲症的几率，换句话说女性中患色盲症的人比较少 ，因而女性在这方面较之更为安全，故选b31.d 考查推理判断题。从第二段中可知有的人看不出深红色，有的人分不清蓝色与绿色，还有的人把什么颜色都看成了绿色，因而不是所有人在辨别颜色上都有同样的问题，故选d项。考点：科普类阅读。d【答案】dmany people go to school for a good education. they learn languages, history, maths and other lessons. school education is very important and useful. yet no one can learn everything from school. no matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. his work is to show his students how to learn. he teaches them how to read and how to think. so, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. it is always more important to know how to study by oneself. it is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula（公式） in maths，but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. though thomas edison invented many things he didnt have much school education. how do they do all these? because they know how to study. a lot of things are not taught in the classroom. they get knowledge from books outside school. they work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their head. 32. what do many people go to school for? a. to make friends b. to get everything c. to study by themselves d. to get a good education 33. what should a student learn to do from school? a. try to remember more knowledge and formulas. b. try to learn how to read and how to think. c. try to remember what the teachers teach. d. try to invent the world. 34. how can an inventor invent things? the most important thing is how to: a. be a great inventor b. study by himself c. use his head well d. remember what hes been taught 35. what is the main idea of this passage? a. school education is important for a person. b. a student should learn how to remember a formula. c. a student can not learn everything from school.d. inventors can invent things and change the world a lot.【答案】32.d33.b34.b35.c【解析】试题分析: 本文讲述人们来学校的目的是学会如何学习，如何思考和如何阅读。32.d 考查细节理解题。根据第一句话提到many people go to school for a good education.许多人上学为的是一个好的教育，故选d项。33.b 考查细节理解题。根据文中提到he cant teach his students everything they want to know. his work is to show his students how to learn.he teaches them how to read and how to think他不能教会学生一切他们想知道的，他的任务就是告诉学生如何学，如何读和如何思考，故选b项。34.b 考查细节理解题。根据and the most
