when lewis and clark stepped onto the weippe prairie in present-day idaho in september 18典型例题y met the nez perce indians. in the following years, the white explorers (探险者) began fight with the indians or their land. some nez perce chiefs signed agreements with the u. s. government, selling part of their lands. but the government always broke those a- greements and demanded more land.other chiefs refused to go along with the governments plans. the most famous was chief joseph, whose people lived in the wallowa valley (present-day oregon). in order to have all people understand how much land we owned, he once explained, my father planted poles around it and said. inside is the home of my people . it circl ed aroundthe graves (坟墓) of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. but in 1874, the u. s. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the nez perce onto a res- ervation(保留地). seeing that resistance was useless. chief jo seph agreed to move.later, fighting broke out between the nez perce and u. s. soldiers. chief joseph tried to lead his people to canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. but finally, he was forced to give in. 1. which historic site (on the map) lies in the south of todays nez perce reservation? a. buffalo eddy. b. dug bar. c. joseph canyon viewpoint. d. chief looking glass camp.

become a historic site c. they have become much smaller. d. they were limited to the wallowa valley. 答案: c 指导：根据地图中图例部分第一项、第二项，可以看出1855年nez perce lands的范围比当今nez perce reservation的范围要大得多。由此可判断c项为正确答案。3. from paragraph 3, we know that the indians wanted to_. a. show oft their land b. keep their land c. turn their place into a graveyard d. build their homes around the poles答案: b 指导：本段引述了nezperce人的某一头领joseph的话，他说到，“为了让所有的人明白我们过去拥有多少土地，我父亲在领地周围种了些植物作为标志，并且说标志里就是我们的家园”由此可以看出那些印第安人的目的就是要维护自己的土地。 the flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. with a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. it is, rather, the product of thousands of years development. historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. the connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. they believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.these flags developed very slowly into modern flags. the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. the king of china around 1000 b.c. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.41. the best title for the passage would be “_”.a. development of the national flagb. power of the national flagc. types of flagsd. uses of flags【答案】a【解析】标题归纳题。“it is, rather, the product of thousands of years development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向，一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。所以本文说的是国旗的发展。故选a。42. the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 means _.a. impossible to make sure ofb. likely to be protectedc. easy to be damagedd. difficult to find【答案】c【解析】词义猜测题。本段第一句“early human beings used very fragile houses and boats.”说早期人类使用非常易坏的的房屋和船只。而本句 “peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable.” 中“similarly”意为“同样地”，所以vulnerable”也表示“易损坏”。故选c。43. the earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because _.a. they could tell direction b. they could bring good luck to ancient fightersc. they were handed down by the ancestorsd. they were believed to stand for natural forces【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。本段第一句“using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods,”“用一块布系到标杆顶部来判断风向比早期的办法更可靠。”因此，最早的旗帜与天的力量有关。故选d。44. what does the author know of the first national flag?a. he knows when it was sent to europe.b. he believes it was made in egypt.c. he thinks it came from china.d. he doubts where it started.【答案】d【解析】细节理解题。最后一段“the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked.。”说明第一个国家的旗帜未被标明，所以作者不知道第一面国旗是从哪儿诞生的。45. what will the author most probably talk about next?a. the role of china in the spread of the national flag.b. the second ancestor of the national flag.c. the use of modern flags in europe.d. the importance of modern flags.【答案】b【解析】推理判断题。结尾处“this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.”说明中国国王树立旗帜的做法遍及到了贸易行路，通过印度，穿过阿拉伯大陆，最终到达欧洲。在那与另一个国旗的原型结合。所以，接下来最可能讨论的是过国旗的第二个始祖。故选b。阅读理解主旨大意passage* (典型题) whoever has made a voyage up the hudson river must remember the catskill mountains. they are a branch of the great appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. when the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory(华丽的皇冠). at the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village, in that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly timeworn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of rip van winkle. rips great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. it could not be from lack of diligence (勤劳) ,for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without say- lng a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. he would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. he would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. the women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. in a word.
