【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 確答案。4．閱讀理解 In our annual Readers39。 Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture. These cities are centers of music and dance, museums, and theaters. Here are four of them where you can find inspiration in the arts, starting with the top spot. Rome, Italy At its peak, the Roman Empire extended over nearly two million square miles of land across Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa. Today, that history is on display everywhere. The city39。s main attractions are famous not because of tourist advertisements, but because they are really so impressive. No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day. Paris, France Hemingway famously called Paris a moveable feast, but wherever you go while in the city, there is always something to see, hear, taste or feel. With some 150 museums, Paris doubles as an art history class, offering the very best of the discipline across centuries and styles. London, United Kingdom London is inspiration and setting for the rise of Shakespeare, Dickens, Orwell and Eliot and the breeding ground for all those iconic (標(biāo)志性的) bands: The Kinks, The Clash and The Stones. London is also Banksy39。s favorite canvas, home to more than 1,000 galleries, and the kind of place where you can spend a whole day in a single museum and still be ready for more when it opens the next morning. Vienna, Austria As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital, which nurtured many famous musicians. It39。s also the site of the Vienna Secession, a revolutionary art movement founded in 1897 by Gustav Klimt. Visitors today can see the fruits of all that creativity in the city39。s 100 – odd museums.（1）Why is Rome regarded as the Eternal City? had an important role in history. history can be seen everywhere. can easily find new art and culture. can spend money well there.（2）What does the underlined word nurtured in the last paragraph mean? ....（3）Which column can we probably find the text? ....【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了四個(gè)世界上最受喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù) Rome, Italy部分中的“No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知難怪它被稱為永恒之城：你可以永遠(yuǎn)在這里度過，每天都能發(fā)現(xiàn)新的藝術(shù)和文化寶藏。由此可知羅馬被視為永恒之城是因?yàn)槿藗兛梢院苋菀椎卣业叫碌乃囆g(shù)和文化。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)Vienna, Austria部分中的“As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital”可知，如果沒有奧地利的首都，西方的音樂將是不可識(shí)別的，因此推斷畫線句句意：奧地利誕生了許多著名的音樂家。由此可知?jiǎng)澗€單詞意思為“產(chǎn)生，誕生”，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“In our annual Readers39。 Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture.”可知在一年一度的讀者選擇獎(jiǎng)?wù){(diào)查中，我們要求讀者對世界上最喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市進(jìn)行排名。以及文章內(nèi)容主要介紹了四個(gè)藝術(shù)和文化城市，由此可推知文章能夠在“藝術(shù)”一欄找到。故選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee (裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don39。t care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn39。t seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly pared. They also enjoyed games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the pickingup of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grownups can hardly find children39。s game exciting, and they often feel puzzled at why their kids play such simple game again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinary afraid. He bees a leader when it es to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.（1）What is true about children when they play games? A.They can stop playing any time they like.B.They can test their personal abilities.C.They want to pick a better team.D.They don39。t need rules.（2）To bee a leader in a game the child has to _________. A.be a useful partnerB.wait for his turnC.be confident in himselfD.be popular among his playmates（3）Why does a child like playing games? A.Because he can be someone other than himself.B.Because he can bee popular among friends.C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.（4）Which is the best title for this passage? A.Rules in Children39。s GamesB.Advantages of Playing Games for ChildrenC.Reasons for Children39。s GamesD.How to Be a Popular Game Player【答案】 （1）A（2）B（3）A（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了孩子們在玩游戲時(shí)有自己的游戲規(guī)則，他們很少需要裁判，很少去記分．他們喜歡玩取決于運(yùn)氣的游戲，這樣他們的個(gè)人能力就不能直接進(jìn)行比較了．但是，成年人很難發(fā)現(xiàn)孩子們的游戲令人興奮，他們常常對孩子們反復(fù)玩這么簡單的游戲感到困惑。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“Children have their own rules in playing games．Theyseldom need a referee（裁判） and rarely trouble to keep scores．”可知，介紹了孩子們玩游戲的一些特點(diǎn)，比如孩子的游戲有自己的規(guī)則，也不需要裁判，而且可以隨時(shí)結(jié)束，故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“He bees a leader when it es to his turn”可知，當(dāng)輪到他時(shí)，他就成了領(lǐng)袖．所以要成為一個(gè)游戲的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，孩子必須等待輪到他才行，故選
