试题详情

The pupils of Grangetown High have been busy getting to know their newest and tallest classmate — a 7-meter-tall giraffe outside their school.

The giraffe is a huge sculpture (雕像) made by a local artist. The school's headmaster noticed the sculpture in the artist's garden as he drove past one day, and thought it would be perfect for his school. “I knew everyone would love it,” he said, “because our basketball team is known as the Grangetown Giraffes, and they wear giraffes on their shirts. So I asked them to write a letter to the artist, asking how much it would cost to buy the giraffe. He was very kind and got it ready to deliver (递送) in six weeks — all for nothing! It was expected to arrive one Sunday morning, so that the pupils would see it when they got to school on Monday — at that time they had no idea that we were getting it.”

The artist, Tom Bennett, was a university professor (教授) of chemistry before he left that job in 2006 and only took up metalwork a couple of years ago. “I've always drawn pictures,” he said. “I can even remember doing it on my first day at school — I drew a horse. I wanted it to be the best horse picture ever, but I don't think I succeeded.” Tom's first metalwork was a bicycle for two that he and his wife could go cycling on together. “It was the most uncomfortable bike ever created,” he said, “so I gave up making bicycles and went into sculpture instead.”

Meanwhile the pupils at Grangetown High are very happy with their new classmate. “We're going to hold a competition to give it a proper name,” said one girl. “Everyone likes the expression on its face, so perhaps that will give us some ideas.”

1.According to the text, the giraffe _____.

A. was as tall as a basketball player

B. was given to Grangetown High for free

C. was sent to Grangetown High on Monday

D. was specially made for a basketball team

2.When the pupils got to school on Monday, they probably felt _____.

高一英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

You know you have to read “between the lines” to get the most out of anything. I want to persuade you to do something equally important in the course of your reading. You have to “mark between the lines”. By marking you can make the most efficient kind of reading.

There are two ways in which one can own a book. The first is the property (财产) right you have by paying for it, just as you pay for clothes and furniture. While full ownership comes only when you have made it a part of yourself and the best way to make yourself a part of it is by writing marks on it.

Why is marking up a book indispensable to reading? First, it keeps you awake. Second, active reading is thinking, and thinking tends to express itself in words. Finally, marking helps you remember the thoughts you had, or the thoughts the author expressed.

Reading a book should be like making a conversation, a conversation between you and the author. Although he knows more about the subject than you do, don’t let anybody tell you that a reader is only on the receiving end. Understanding is a two-way operation. Reading doesn’t mean being a passive empty receiver, the reader has to question himself and question the author. And marking a book can show his own judgment on author’s opinion: agreement or difference.

1.The author thinks “marking between the lines” is ______.

A．the most important of all

B．more important than “reading between the lines”

C．as important as “reading between the lines”

D．not so important as “reading between the lines”

2.“To own a book” in the most important sense means “______”.

A．to absorb its content and make it a part of yourself

B．to have property right by paying for it

C．to write many words of sentences on it

D．to make a conversation with the author

3.The underlined word “indispensable” most probably means “______”.

A．troublesome

B．difficult

C．useless

D．necessary

4.By saying “Understanding is a two-way operation” the author means_______.

A．a reader will receive everything the book presents

B．the author should understand readers

C．a reader should have his own judgment of the author’s opinion

D．the author should help readers understand better

5.What can be the best title for the passage?

A．How to Own a Book	B．Mark Between the Lines
C．How to Understand Author	D．Read Between the Lines
