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】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了丹麥知名玩具品牌樂高的發(fā)展歷程。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第一段中的“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）考查細節(jié)理解。根據第四段中的“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）考查細節(jié)理解。根據倒數第二段中的the first modern style LEGO brick ... each piece would fit with any other piece”可知，現代的樂高積木可以彼此完全貼合，從而組裝成一個整體。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據第三段“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高的發(fā)展情況， LEGO在丹麥語中意為玩得好”，這是公司制作玩具的宗旨所在， 因此B項作標題概括了文章主旨也表達了樂高的宗旨，故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準確捕捉細節(jié)信息，并根據上下文進行概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀短文，從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。 There39。s a world of difference between a horror movie and a edy—the former scares you half to death while the latter leaves you rolling on the floor with laughter.
