【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 on Wright, Wilbur was born on a farm near Millville and Orville was born in August in the house the family would e to occupy for more than 40 years in Dayton. Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur39。s first interests in flight began when they were children, with powered rubberbandhelicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country. Orville and Wilbur would build duplicates（復(fù)制品）of these toys and bounce them off the ceiling. They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand. Both boys loved to solve problems that seemed difficult to others. The more difficult the problem was, the more they saw it as a challenge. Exploring the unknown was such a joy for then that Orville once said, I can remember when Wilbur and I could hardly wait for the morning to e to get at something that interested us. That39。s happiness. Putting their gift to work, the boys entered the printing business soon after high school. Orville designed and then built a printing press（印刷機）for this enterprise. At first, they did contract printing for other people, and soon one of their customers during the early 1890s was Father Milton39。s church. They also tried the newspaper business, and although their two newspapers, the West Side News and The Evening Item were considered to be of high quality, Dayton already had daily newspapers, so the Wrights soon returned to contract printing. Branching out into other areas, they also opened a bicycle business. Bicycling was the fastest growing sport in the country at that time, and their repair shop soon led them into building bicycles of their own design, often with tools of their own construction, such as the lathe（車床）driven by a onecylinder gasoline engine built by Orville. The bicycle shop would provide the livelihood（生計）that would allow them to carry out their experiments on airplanes. （1）What may inspire Wilbur and Orville Wright to be keen on flight in childhood？ A.Their experiences of taking a flight.B.Their wishes to travel by plane.C.The toys their father brought for them.D.Their interest in duplicating toys.（2）What kind of children were the Wright brothers？ A.Enthusiastic and curious.B.Quiet and modes.C.Naughty but clever.D.Stubborn but careful（3）What business did Wilbur and Orville enter shortly after high school？ A.The toy business.B.The printing business.C.The lathe business.D.The bicycle business.（4）What will possibly be discussed following this text？ A.Who guided them a lot on their way to success.B.What trouble they would meet in their business.C.Why they closed their bicycle shop suddenly.D.How the two brothers began to invent planes.【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了 萊特兄弟是怎樣的發(fā)明飛機的過程。 （1）考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Orville would discover in later years that he and Wilbur39。s first interests in flight began when they were children，with powered rubberbandhelicopter toys that their father would bring home for them from trips around the country”奧維爾后來發(fā)現(xiàn)他和威爾伯對飛行第一次興趣是從他們小時候開始的，由于他們的父親從鄉(xiāng)村給他們帶回家的，用橡皮筋為動力的直升機玩具，可知選C。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“They were just crazy about these things for the reasons that they did not yet understand”他們只是因為他們還不明白的原因 而對這些事情瘋狂 ；和第三段中的“Both boys loved to solve problems that seemed difficult to others.

I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children39。s books printed in the target language. At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl. The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would remend is to read a chapter of your chosen children39。s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children39。s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.（1）Why was the author advised to read children39。s books?
