【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 alled So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too––– that39。s why it made Nov 16th “International Day for Tolerance”. But first of all, what is tolerance? According to French philosopher Voltaire, tolerance is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error。 let us pardon each other39。s fool––– that is the first law of nature.” Very often, people don39。t realize that they39。re intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UN39。s campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don39。t put themselves in the shoes of women. It39。s worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we39。re speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isn39。t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there39。s something wrong with them. Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. That39。s the reason we should be tolerant. It39。s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. （1）What39。s the purpose of the UN “International Day For Tolerance”?

A.Because men don39。t realize the purpose of the UN.B.Because men are physically stronger than women.C.Because men don39。t appreciate the shoes of women.D.Because men are not willing to understand women.（3）Why is it meaningless to use the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”? A.Because they are hard to pronounce in English.B.Because they don39。t express the exact meaning people refer to.C.Because they can39。t be translated into other languages.D.Because they can39。t be used in a respectful way.（4）In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?

The UN understands this too that39。s why it made Nov 16th 39。International Day for Tolerance39。.”可推斷，世界上的人們?nèi)狈Π荩虼寺?lián)合國把11月16日設(shè)置為“國際寬容日”是為了喚起人們的包容意識(shí)。故答案選A。（2）考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段尾句“But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men don39。t put themselves in the shoes of women.”可知，男性對(duì)女性不包容是因?yàn)樗麄儾辉敢庠O(shè)身處地的為女性著想，不愿意理解她們。故答案選D。（3）考查推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段后三句“Are they the best words to describe the evils of which we39。re speaking here? To agree to be 39。tolerant39。 of someone isn39。t necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that there39。s something wrong with them.”可知，對(duì)某人寬容并不一定是一件值得尊重的事情，某人如果被包容，就暗示著某人有問題，因此推斷使用“寬容”或者“不寬容”是沒有意義的，因?yàn)樗鼈儾荒軠?zhǔn)確表達(dá)人們所指的意思。故答案選B。（4）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后兩句“It39。s a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness.”可推斷，在我們給與別人諒解時(shí)，寬容有點(diǎn)像慷慨。故答案選C。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題型考查了對(duì)文章段落或某一板塊的理解概括能力。先閱讀問題，然后帶著問題，再讀全文，找出答題所需要的依據(jù)，完成閱讀。在詞義與句義理解的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合上下文總結(jié)歸納某一段或幾段的大意，對(duì)于把握文章主旨，分析全文結(jié)構(gòu)都是至關(guān)重要的。5．閱讀理解 When we think of a generation gap we usually think of conflicting tastes in music, or pastimes. But now the generation gap is handwriting. After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn39。t read the assignments she was writing on the board, she posted it on the Internet saying handwriting should be taught in schools. Opponents claim that handwriting has bee out of time in our modern world. Typed words have bee a primary form of munication. Once a practical kill handwriting is no longer used by the vast majority of Americans. It is no longer taught in schools, and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use, for instance, by teaching the technical skills. But even in today39。s world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and apply it to paper. Many American institutions still require original signatures, for instance, signing for a registered letter and buying a house. And original signatures are much more difficult to forge(偽造) than their digital counterparts. There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind. It activates a different part of the brain, and improves fine moving skills in young children. People also tend to remember what they write by hand more than what they type, and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas. Besides, studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don39。t. Not to mention, handwriting is pleasing, as is evidenced by the fact that no one has ever typed a love letter. And handwriting remains popular as an art form. Yes, we live in a modern world, but we live in a modern world that is based on fundamental values.（1）What did the teacher find in her class?
