阅读理解基础训练Passage 1（沙市中学2014届高三检测）体裁话题词数难度建议用时说明文新型钢笔3387分钟German inventors Falk Wolsky and Daniel Kaesma have created a digital pen, which can check for spelling mistakes in handwriting. The idea came from Wolskys wife while she was helping her son with his homework. It will help children and adults develop their writing and spelling skills. The Lernstift, which is German for learning pen, has a built-in sensor. It can recognize writing movements and track the shape of the letters to recognize words. It then vibrates (震动) when a mistake is made. Lernstift also has Wi-Fi built-in, and the pen can be connected to a smart-phone or PC to upload written texts online, share them on social networks or take part in writing training. Current digital pens use optical (光学) sensors to pick up the writing movements and digitize (数字化) the words or sketches, so that they can be used on a computer. Some of these pens require additional devices, while others only work with special paper. Lernstift is different, because it has the technology and software built-in. The computer inside Lernstift is an embedded Linux operating system. The board contains a non-optical motion sensor, processor, memory, Wi-Fi and vibration module. The motion sensor recognizes all writing movements, even if the pen is used to write in the air. This means Lernstift doesnt need any additional recognition devices or special paper to work on. The pen has two functions: Orthography Mode is used to recognize misspellings and will vibrate when a word is spelt incorrectly. Calligraphy Mode is used to point out flaws in the form of handwriting, to make it neater. Future models will also be able to point out grammatical mistakes such as wrong word order.Lernstift uses a built-in handwriting software to compare the written words with the correct spellings. The software has over 40 languages, and Lernstift will be launched in English and German before being rolled out to more languages. This means it could be used to help people learn new languages. 1.Who came up with the idea of Lernstift pen? A. Wolskys wifeB. Wolskys son. C. Kaesmas wife.D. Kaesmas son.2.Whats special about the Lernstift pen?A. It can make you write more quickly without making a mistake.B. It can write words for a long time without stopping.C. It can check for spelling errors and vibrate when you make a mistake.D. It can remind you to have a rest when you make a spelling mistake.3. Its believed that future models of Lernstift pen can _.A. recognize misspellings in wordsB. point out flaws in the form of handwritingC. correct spelling mistakes of itselfD. check for grammatical errors4. What can we get to know from the text?A. There will be no spelling mistakes in peoples writing paper.B. Children can finish homework as soon as possible with the Lernstift pen.C. With the help of the Lernstift pen, people come to learn 40 languages.D. The Lernstift pen will help people develop their writing and spelling skills.【文章大意】Wolsky研制了一种新型的可识别书写错误的钢笔Lernstift，以震动的形式来提醒使用者。 1.

Countries also use animals as symbols. From eagles to lions, many countries use an animal to show its national spirit and character.The image of an eagle is on the US Presidents flag, and on the one-dollar bill. The bald eagle is a large, powerful, brown bird with a white head and tail. The term “bald” does not mean that this bird lacks feathers. Instead, it comes from the old word piebald, that menas, “marked with white”.The US declared that the eagle was its national bird in 1782. It was chosen because of “its long life, great strength, and noble looks”.A few eagles have even become American heroes. An eagle named “Old Abe”, the mascot of a Wisconsin troop of soldiers during the Civil War, traveled 14,000 miles with its men. He was often shot at by the enemy, but survived 42 battles.But, one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin didnt agree with the choice. “The bald eagle is a bird of bad moral character, like those among men who live by robbing, he is generally poor, and often very messy,” he argued. Franklin wanted the turkey as the countrys national bird.If Americans chose their national symbol deliberately, the symbol of England arose out of history.King Herry (1068-1135) was a brave warrior but also wise. His appreciation for the rule of law earned him the nickname the Lion of Justice. He was the first English King to use a lion as a royal symbol, which is popularly known as the “king of the jungle”. By the year Richard , known as “The Lionheart” for his bravery, came to the throne in 1189, the famous Three Lions badge had been formed. Now it can be seen on the shirts of Englands sports teams.Although people might not think of lions when they think of England, everyone knows about the Australian kangaroo. Legend has it that the kangaroo gets its name from an early meeting between local aborigines and white settlers. When asked by the Europeans what these strange-looking animals were, a native replied “kangaroo”, meaning “I dont understand you.”The kangaroo is an individualistic animal. Although it does gather in groups, the kangaroo is not a herd animal. If a group is attacked, individuals run off in different directions. Australians think the kangaroo represents positive values, such as individual responsibility and pride.1. The general idea of this passage should probably be _ .A. animals are friends of human beingsB. nearly all the countries have an animal as their national animalC. animals good values are always used to show a countrys national spirit and characterD. certain human characteristics are the same as some animals, so some countries love animals2. Which is NOT true about the animal of the “bald eagle”?A. It was Benjamin Franklin who made the bald eagle as the national animal of the USA.B. The term “bald” means “marked with white”.C. The bald eagle can show American national spirit and character.D. “Old Abe” was even an American hero.3. The reason why the lion was made as the national animal of the United Kingdom was that _ .A. it could always be used to represent certain human characteristics of EnglandB. the Kings of England loved lionsC. there are many lions in EnglandD. lions are “king of the jungle”4. What good values can the kangaroo show as national spirits?A. Group. B. Respect of others.C. Not understanding D. Positive values.【文章大意】人类常常使用动物来代表一些性格特征。动物也被许多国家拿来代表它们的民族精神或民族性格特点。文章介绍了美国、英国和澳大利亚的代表性动物。1.

Three-fourths of Americans with mobile phones say they use them in the bathroom, a new study shows.Approximately the same number of men and women have used the phone in the bathroom, according to a survey of 1,000 Americans by 11mark, an integrated marketing agency, although men seem more attached to IT in the toilet: 30 percent of men versus 20 percent of women agreed with the statement, I dont go to the bathroom without my mobile phone.More than half the surveyed users (63 percent) said they have answered a phone call in the bathroom, and almost half (41 percent) reported initiating a phone call.
