a. a rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against by weather.b. a climate adaptation fund has been established to help poor regions.c. the world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.d. it makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.4. in the passage, the author calls on us to.a. slow down but not to stop economic growthb. develop tree crops, grasses and wood productsc. achieve economic growth and political stabilityd. act now so as to relieve the global food shortage【参考答案】47.1-4 daad 阅读理解。to hitch-hike successfully in any country you must be able to do two things: attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. to fulfill the first requirement you must have some mark to distinguish you at once from all other hikers. a serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform, and a student his red scarf. in a foreign country an unmistakable indication of your own nationality will also arrest a drivers attention. when i hitch-hiked 9, 500 miles across the united states and back recently i wore a well-tailored suit, a bowler hat and a trench coat, and carried a pencil-thin rolled black umbrella. my suitcase was decorated with british flags. having plenty of luggage, moreover, i was not likely to be suspected of being a dangerous lunatic(精神病患者). i then had to get across to the driver the idea that i was a real traveler, and needed to get somewhere cheaply. but even with careful preparation, you must not assume that the task will be easy. you should be prepared to wait a little, for there are drivers who confess to a fierce prejudice against, (not to say hatred of)hitch-hikers, and would no more pick up a hiker than march from aldermaston to london. in america, my average wait is half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but i have heard of people waiting all day: they probably took less pains to make themselves easy to notice. nor must you assume that all the drivers who stop for you are nice, normal people. on one occasion i found myself driving with two boys of about nineteen who turned out to be on the run from the police, and were hoping to use me as an alibi. there are also lesser(较小的)risks: you may find yourself in the car of a fascist fanatic, a mormon missionary(传教士), or just a bad driver. you cannot tell, of course until you are in the car. but you soon learn the art of the quick excuse that gets you out again. if the hitch-hiker in the us remembers that he is seeking the willingness of drivers to give him a free ride, and is prepared to give in exchange entertainment and company, and not go to sleep, he will come across the remarkable, almost legendary, hospitality of american of the west. it will also help if he can drivei think that i drove myself about 4, 500 of those 9, 500 miles i hitch-hiked in the states. 【文章大意】文章主要介绍了作者如何搭乘便车的一些经验, 如装束、等车、遇到的司机, 还特别提及了在美国的一些有关搭乘便车的趣事。1. a serviceman should wear his uniform. a. so as not to look too unusualb. to attract attentionc. to show he is on dutyd. to put the driver at ease【解析】选b。细节理解题。根据第一段“attract attention and at the same time convince the driver at a glance that you do not intend to rob or murder him. . . a serviceman, for instance, should wear his uniform”可以得知答案。2. in paragraph 3, we learn that the writer. a. has sometimes failed to hitch a rideb. has marched from aldermaston to londonc. has been successful in hitching a rided. has had to wait for long hours for a ride【解析】选c。细节理解题。根据第三段的最后一句中my average wait is half an hour, and my longest is two hours, but i have heard of people waiting all day可知作者是比较成功的。3. the main idea of paragraph 4 is that. a. it is dangerous to be in a car with strangersb. hitch-hiking may turn out to be risky sometimesc. a hitch-hiker must also learn the art of quick excused. hitch-hikers might come across bad drivers【解析】选b。段落大意题。第四段的第一句是主题句。遇到的司机不见得个个都是正常人, 从后面的例子也得知乘便车是有危险性的。4. a suitable title for the passage would be“”. a. the art of hitch-hikingb. an englishmans view of the usc. an english hitch-hikerd. the joys and dangers of hitch-hiking【解析】选a。主旨大意题。此处的art是“技巧”的意思。全文讲的是搭乘便车的一些经验和技巧, 故a是最佳答案。【技法导练】多学一点棋高一着阅读理解如何辨别主旨大意题的错误选项在阅读理解中, 主旨大意题的错误选项一般有以下几个特点: 1. 以偏概全。故意片面地理解文章, 把文章中出现过的某一个观点当成整篇文章的主题。2. 放大或缩小文章的主题。把文章的主题进行放大或者缩小。3. 偷换概念。把文章主题换成相关但不同的主题。请说出a篇阅读理解中三个错误选项分别属于哪种错误类型。题号选项错误类型4b_c_d_答案:题号选项错误类型4b偷换概念c放大主题d以偏概全短文改错。假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同学写的以下作文。文中共
