”this is what happened to four french boys in 1940. they found the lascaux caves. the paintings the boys discovered in those caves are about 17, 000 years old. they were drawn by the ancient people called cro-magnon(克鲁马努人). cro-magnons looked much like people of today. they used tools, such as fishing nets. but their art was extremely good. the main cave at lascaux is called great hall of bulls, which has a picture of bulls and horses in many colours. the largest animal is 18 feet long. there are smaller animals, such as bison, stags and a bear. there is also a strange spotted two-horned(两只角的)animal. to the left of the main cave are the most famous paintings that are the drawings of animals in many different colours. one painting is called little horses. on the ceiling are horses and cows. the most unusual sight may be in the shaft of the dead man where there is a rhinoceros, a carefully drawn dead man, an injured bison and a bird. why did cro-magnon artists do these beautiful drawings on cave walls? did the drawings call upon some magic power? did the cro-magnon people hope that the drawings would bring good luck? there is one thing the paintings seem to tell us. the cro-magnons were interested in the world. they looked at beauty and they understood it. 【文章大意】本文介绍了法国lascaux岩洞壁画的相关情况。1. the author uses the word“you”in paragraph 1 to. a. attract readers attentionb. make it clear that this is a true storyc. give readers good directions to find the cavesd. compare modern people with cro-magnon people【解析】选a。推理判断题。第一段虚构了一个以读者为主人公的场景, 目的就是为了引起读者的阅读兴趣。2. most of the drawings in the caves are about. a. boysb. toolsc. humansd. animals【解析】选d。细节理解题。根据第三、四段对壁画的描述可知, 洞内的绝大多数壁画是关于动物的。3. what does the passage mainly tell us?

a. using too much packaging. b. recycling too many wastes.c. making more products than necessary. d. having more material than is needed.7. the author uses figures in paragraph 2 to show _.a. the tendency of cutting household waste b. the increase of packaging recyclingc. the rapid growth of super markets d. the fact of packaging overuse 8. according to the text, recycling _.a. helps control the greenhouse effect b. means burning packaging for energyc. is the solution to gas shortage d. leads to a waste of land9. what can be inferred from paragraph 4?a. unpackaged products are of bad quality. b. supermarkets care more about packaging.c. it is improper to judge quality by packaging. d. other products are better packaged than food.10. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. fighting wastefulness is difficult. b. needless material is mostly recycled.c. people like collecting recyclable waste. d. the author is proud of their consumer culture.【参考答案】610、ddaca 完形填空。完型填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从以下题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。there was a very special teacher who made a far-reaching difference in my life. fall, 1959, the first day of class at bethesda chevy chase high school was about to begin. “who”, i asked a senior, “is mrs. mcnamara, my 10th grade english teacher?” he just 1 and said something about my being in 2 . soon, i understood what he meant. mrs. mcnamara had a pattern of 3 that she repeated again and again. we would have a literature reading task for 4 . the next day, when we came to class, there would be two or three topics on the blackboard 5 to the homework reading. we were 6 to write an in-class essay about one of the topics. the following day, she would 7 the corrected and graded essays and each person would be called 8 to stand in front of the class and to 9 his/her essay. the class were required to criticize （评论） that essay, 10 the grade of everyone in class would be reduced. the first time that i 11 her read-write-criticize method, i had not 12 to do the homework and had written something without knowing what it meant. 13 the extreme embarrassment i suffered, standing before my classmates, 14 myself. no one laughed at me; no one would be 15 enough, or foolish enough, to do that in mrs. mcnamaras class. the embarrassment came from 16 and along with it came a strong 17 not to let it happen again. mrs. mcnamara kept all of our written work in files; it was easy to see the 18 in writing that had occurred. what was not so easy to see was the inner transformation that had taken place, at least for me. what mrs. mcnamara 19 me to do was to see myself as others see me and, having done that, i could improve myself. and i 20 . thank you, mrs. mcnamara.
