Lewen would like to see college programs in every prison, but without government support, its not likely to happen any time soon.In the meantime, theres a long waiting list of San Quentin prisoners who want to enroll in the college program.Some day, Lewen hopes to expand her program, making a college education available for most of prisoners at San Quentin.()1.Which of the following is TRUE of the Prison University Project?A.Jody Lewen founded it in 1999.B.It was supported by the government.C.Jody took charge of it quite accidentally.D.It is performed in most prisons in the US.()2.Jody Lewen joined in San Quentins college program to _.Awork as a volunteer teacherBbe a parttime directorCdo some scientific researchDearn her college credits()3.According to the text, Charles Spence might be _.Aa graduate studentBa San Quentin prisonerCa volunteer teacherDa prison manager()4.The project is quite meaningful because_.Aprisoners have equal rights of educationBit doesnt need support from the governmentCthe society is more concerned about prisonersDit reduces the chance for prisoners back into prison()5.We learn from the last paragraph that the problem for the Project is _.A.there are fewer and fewer volunteer teachersB.more and more prisoners want to enrollC.too many prisoners are housed at San QuentinD.it lacks financial support from the government专题限时训练(二十五)(一)【文章大意】 本文是记叙文。讲述了位于迈阿密州的Florida International University的电子图书馆的与众不同之处。1B主旨大意题。作者首先在文章开头介绍世界著名美术馆， 接着引出迈阿密州的Florida International University，接下来文章详细地介绍了FIU，因此 B为最佳答案。2D细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知答案。3A细节理解题。从It is computer art, produced electronically.得出答案。4B逻辑推理题。从第四段He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work.看，B为最佳答案。C项有较大干扰性，从文章最后一段看似乎这一答案正确，然而从第三段看，这家电子美术馆是面对所有的艺术家，而并非只对艺术学生。5D词义猜测题。根据句中的“artists enjoy their work much more.”可推断此处的观众是指观赏艺术品的观众，故可推断选D。(二)【文章大意】 本文是说明文。全文介绍了一种危险的活动登山运动。1D事实细节题。根据第二段第二句 “.to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains”可知，爬山者要遭受寒冷、艰辛，还要冒各种风险。2C事实细节题。根据第三段第二、三句 “There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football.There are, of course, rules of a different kind” 可知，运动与游戏的主要不同在于规则。3D事实细节题。根据第四段第三句 “when climbers are on a rock linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.”可知，登山运动员在登山过程中必须相互依靠。所以登山运动是一项集体运动，因此正确答案为D。4C推理判断题。根据第四段第三句 “There are, it is true, no matches between teams of climbers.”以及第五段第二句 “He has to fight the forces of nature.” 可知，登山运动是同自然比赛。5A主旨大意题。本文主要在讨论登山运动并将其与其他运动相比较。(三)
