However, the new university and buildings caused poorer families to have to leave the area. This destroyed the Indiana Avenue munity and with it, its jazz culture.” 但在20世紀(jì)50年代,情況發(fā)生了變化?!欢?,新的大學(xué)和建筑使得貧困家庭不得不離開這個(gè)地區(qū)。這摧毀了印第安納大道社區(qū),也隨之摧毀了它的爵士樂文化??芍?,轉(zhuǎn)折詞but之后描述了爵士樂的衰落,因此推測出劃線詞prospered意為“興盛、蓬勃發(fā)展”。故選D。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“It began to bring back lost cultures such as live music on the Avenue.

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B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“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 ordinarily afraid.”可知孩子們喜歡玩游戲的重要原因之一是他們可以在游戲中假裝成別人,選A。 (4)考查主旨大意。通讀全文可知,游戲在孩子們的生活中是必不可少的.他們無需裁判,也很少計(jì)分,他們甚至不在乎輸贏.盡管在成年人眼里這些游戲非常簡單,枯燥.但是孩子們對此卻是樂此不疲.作者認(rèn)為通過游戲,孩子們學(xué)會了遵守規(guī)則,可知選B。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇文化類閱讀,要求考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行分析,推理,概括和歸納,從而選出正確答案。7.閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Going back to school can be an anxious time for many students. But one institution in Texas is doing its part to make sure middle schoolers are returning refreshed and inspired to learn. Through a process called the bathroom inspiration project, teachers and administrators at Warren Middle School, spent their summer beautifying the school39。s restrooms by painting motivational murals (壁畫) on each of the stalls (小隔間).Forming messages like Your mistakes don39。t define you and Scatter (撒播) kindness, the brightly colored words are exactly what a young student needs to see when having a rough dayor any school day for that matter. And now that classes are officially in session, people are already noticing a positive impact. Since posting photos of upgrades to the school in July, Principal Joshua Garcia says that the alterations have aroused a great response. Students have been talking about the murals from the moment the pictures had been posted. So
