But today, it is the second largest toy pany in the world. The LEGO pany sells small, brightly colored plastic bricks (積木). People can buy LEGO bricks in over 90 countries. Ole Kirk Kristiansen from Denmark began his own business in 1932. He made products (產(chǎn)品) from wood including colorful wooden toys. Kristiansen39。s young son, Godtfred, worked with him. Their business helped them make a lot of money. By 1934, the Kristiansens named their pany LEGO, which came from two Danish words, leg and godt, meaning play well. The LEGO pany grew slowly. But it continued to create excellent wooden toys. By 1947, the LEGO pany began using a new material (材料) to make their toys — plastic. One of the toys they sold was called the Automatic Binding Brick. A person could put the bricks together to build something. But the bricks did not hold together easily. Still, they were a popular toy. A few years later, in 1954, Godtfred Kirk Kristiansen had a big idea. He wanted all of the LEGO bricks to fit together. Finally, four years later, in 1958, the LEGO pany found their answer. They invented the first modern style LEGO brick, which was similar to the Automatic Binding Brick but each piece would fit with any other piece. Since that time, any toy that the LEGO pany created would fit with any other toy they created. Today, LEGO is not only the second largest toy maker in the world, but also making its products a great way for children to learn creative building skills.（1）When the LEGO pany was set up, it ________. a rapid growth to attract children children to work with it small but successful（2）What do we know about the Automatic Binding Brick? was liked by few people. was the best of its kind. was a building toy. was made of wood.（3）The first modern style LEGO brick________. together perfectly created by Godtfred and his father invented in the early 1950s greatly from the Automatic Binding Brick（4）What39。s the best title for the text? : Educational Toys: Play Well Companies: From Small to Big Companies: Never Too Late to Create【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了丹麥知名玩具品牌樂(lè)高的發(fā)展歷程。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“LEGO began as one man39。s small business”；以及第二段中的“Their business helped them make a lot of money,可知，高公司在創(chuàng)立初期雖然規(guī)模不大但盈利很多。因此可知公司規(guī)模雖小但很成功，故選D。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“A person could put the bricks together to build something.”可知，Automatic Binding Brick是一種拼裝積木，可以使用積木組裝玩具，故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的the first modern style LEGO brick ... each piece would fit with any other piece”可知，現(xiàn)代的樂(lè)高積木可以彼此完全貼合，從而組裝成一個(gè)整體。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第三段“By 1934, the Kristiansens named their pany LEGO, which came from two Danish words, ‘leg’ and ‘godt’， meaning ‘play well’. The LEGO pany grew slowly. But it continued to create excellent wooden toys. ”可知，文章介紹了知名積木玩具樂(lè)高的發(fā)展情況， LEGO在丹麥語(yǔ)中意為玩得好”，這是公司制作玩具的宗旨所在， 因此B項(xiàng)作標(biāo)題概括了文章主旨也表達(dá)了樂(lè)高的宗旨，故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解 On the banks of Tanzania39。s Lake Eyasi lives the world39。s last huntergatherer tribe (部落) — the Hadza. They don39。t grow food, raise animals or build houses. Instead they live a life unchanged for more than ten thousand years. Their world is one of plete freedom — something modern society can barely imagine and is unlikely to ever experience, let alone have the skills to stay alive. Text messages and phone calls don39。t exist. Nor do cars and electricity. No jobs, timetables, and social structures. No laws, taxes and unbelievably, no money — the closest thing to currency (交易) is the trade for a pair of shorts with a neighboring tribe. We spent our time with the Hadza hunting baboons (狒狒), a daily activity for the men. Their land is packed with sharp bushes, poisonous snakes and maneating lions. But a successful hunting trip is the difference between eating or going hungry. The Hadza diet consists mainly of honey, fruit and meat. Men often hunt in pairs to shoot animals with bows and arrows. The Hadza show us how to track animals, from baboons to snakes to lions. They are hugely skilled with their handmade bows and arrows — we have a go and barely get the arrow to go three feet in front of us. The language of the Hadza is believed to be the oldest stillspoken language known to man. The Hadza don39。t have conflict, and have no memory of starvation. Their population never reaches numbers t
