But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it. The book wasn39。t very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum(羊皮紙)on which was written the secret of the Touchstone. The touchstone was a small pebble(鵝卵石)that could turn any mon metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this. The real stone would feel warn, while ordinary pebbles are cold. So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold—throw it into sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into months and the months into years. One day, however, about midafternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it up. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away. So it is with opportunity(機(jī)會). Unless we are vigilant, it39。s easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand and it39。s just as easy to throw it away.(1)According to the passage, the touchstone is a stone __________.

A.Excited.B.Moved.C.Interested.D.Regretted.(4)What39。s the meaning of the underlined word “vigilant” in the last paragraph? A.Brave enough.B.Hard—working enough.C.Careful enough.D.Strong enough.(5)What does the writer want to tell us? A.Opportunity knocks but once.B.Use it or lose it.C.Where there is a will, there is a way.D.Practice makes perfect.【答案】 (1)B(2)D(3)D(4)C(5)A 【解析】【分析】主要講了亞歷山大圖書館被燒毀后,一個窮人得到了僅存的一本書,書中介紹到:感覺溫暖的鵝卵石可以讓普通的金屬變成金子。他開始檢測鵝卵石,每次都把涼的鵝卵石扔進(jìn)大海里,最后他撿到了一顆溫暖的鵝卵石,但是因為習(xí)慣,他像以前一樣把石頭扔進(jìn)大海,最終才發(fā)現(xiàn)自己失去了一次機(jī)會。 (1)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)The touchstone was a small pebble(鵝卵石)that could turn any mon metal into pure ,故選B。 (2)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)He was used to throwing each pebble into the sea as soon as he picked it ,故選D。 (3)推斷題。根據(jù)常識可知他意識到自己把溫暖的鵝卵石扔進(jìn)大海里時肯定感到后悔,regretted,故選D。 (4)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)后句可知失去機(jī)會是容易的,除非我們是仔細(xì)的,所以意思是仔細(xì)的,認(rèn)真的,即careful,故選C。 (5)主旨題。根據(jù)全文可知主要講了機(jī)會只有一次,故選A。 【點評】考查閱讀理解。本文涉及細(xì)節(jié)題、推斷題和主旨題三種??碱}型,細(xì)節(jié)題要注意從文中尋找答案;推斷題需要聯(lián)系上下文,推斷出需要的信息;主旨題需要通讀全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。6.閱讀理解 Don39。t Judge a Book by Its Cover Ever since I was a little girl, I39。ve loved reading crime and detective (偵探) novels, so I guess it was pretty normal that I started writing them when I was older. However, my family is very big on having a traditional career (職業(yè)) and so when I said that I wanted to go to college and study writing, my parents told me that I couldn39。t.
