Long Walk to Forever （永恒的漫步）

by Kurt V onnegut

附：作者，库尔特·冯内古特(Kurt Vonnegut) （1922年—2007年）。与马克·吐温一样，库尔特·冯内古特被誉为美国黑色幽默文学的代表人物。其代表作《五号屠宰场》、《猫的摇篮》抓住了他处身时代的情绪，并激发了一代人的想象。

They had grown up next door to each other, on the fringe of a city, near fields and woods and orchards, within sight of a lovely bell tower that belonged to a school for the blind. Now they were twenty, had not seen each other for nearly a year. There had always been playful, comfortable warmth between them, but never any talk of love.

His name was Newt. Her name was Catharine. In the early afternoon, Newt knocked on Catharine's front door.

Catharine came to the door. She was carrying a fat, lossy magazine she had been reading. The magazine was devoted entirely to brides. "Newt!" she said. She was sur- prised to see him. "Could you come for a walk?" he said. He was a shy person, even with Catharine. He covered his shyness by speaking absently, as though he were a secret agent pausing briefly on a mission between beautiful, distant, and sinister points. This manner of speaking had always been Newt's style, even in matters that concerned him desperately.

"A walk?" said Catharine.

"One foot in front of the other," said Newt, "Through leaves, over bridges--"

"I had no idea you were in town, "she said.

"Just this minute got in, "he said.

"Still in the Army, I see," she said

"Seven more months to go, "he said. He was a private first class(一等兵) in the Artillery. His uniform was rumpled. His shoes were dusty. He needed a shave. He held out his hand for the magazine." Let's see the pretty book," he said.

She gave it to him." I'm getting married, Newt," she said.

"I know," he said." Let's go for a walk."

"I'm awfully busy, Newt," she said. "The wedding is only a week away."

"If we go for a walk," he said, "it will make you rosy. It will make you a rosy bride. "He turned the pages of the magazine. "A rosy bride like her--like her--like her," he said, showing her rosy brides. Catharine turned rosy, thinking about rosy brides.

"That will be my person to Henry Stewart Chasens," said Newt. "By talking you for a walk, I'll be giving him a rosy bride."

"You know his name?" said Catharine.

"Mother wrote," he said. "Form Pittsburgh?"

"Yes," she said. "You'd like him."

"Maybe," he said.

"Can--can you come to the wedding, Newt?" she said.

"That I doubt." he said.

"Your furlough isn't for long enough?" she said.

"Furlough?" said Newt. He was studying a two-page ad for flat silver（银质取菜餐具）. "I'm not on furlough, "he said.

"Oh?" she said.

"I'm what they call A.W.O.L.," said Newt.

"Oh, Newt! You're not!" she said.

"Sure I am," he said, still looking at the magazine.

"Why, Newt?" she said.

"I had to find out what your silver pattern is," he said. He read names of silver pat- terns from the magazine. "Albermarle? Heather?" he said ."Legend? Rambler Rose?" He looked up, smile ."I plan to give you and your husband a spoon, "he said.

"Newt, Newt--tell me really, "she said.

"I want to go for a walk, "he said.

She wrung her hands in sisterly anguish. "Oh, Newt--you're fooling me about being A.W.O.L., "she said.

Newt imitated police siren softly, raised his eyebrows.

"Where--where from?" she said.

"Fort Bragg," he said.

"North Carolina?" she said.

"That all right," he said. "Near Fayetteville--where Scarlett O'Hara went to school."

"How did you get here, Newt?" she said.

He raised his thumb, jerked it in a hitchhike gesture. "Two days," he said.

"Dose your mother know?" she said.

"I didn't come to see my mother," he told her.

"Who did you come to see?" she said.

You," he said.

"Why me?" she said.

"Because I love you," he said. "Now can we take a walk?" he said. "One foot in front of the other--through leaver, over bridges--"

They were talking the walk now, were in a woods with a brown-leaf floor.

Catharine was angry and rattled, close to tears. "Newt, "she said, "this is absolutely crazy." "How so?" said Newt.

"What a crazy time to tell me you love me," she said. "You never talked that way before. "She stopped walking.

"Let's keep walking," he said.

"No," she said. "So far, no farther. I shouldn't have come out with you at all, "she said.

"You did, "he said.

"To get you out of the house," she said. "If somebody walked in and heard you talking to me that way, a week before the wedding--"

"What would they think?" he said.

"They'd think you were crazy," she said.

"Why?" he said.

Catharine took a deep breath, made a speech. "Let me say that I'm deeply honored by this crazy thing you've done," she said. "I can't believe you're really A.W.O.L., but maybe you are. I can't believe you really love me, but maybe you do. But--"

"I do," said Newt.

"Well, I'm deeply honored," said Catharine, "and I'm very fond of you as a friend, Newt, extremely fond--but it's just too late." She took a step away from him. "You've never even kissed me," she said ,and she protected herself with her hands. "I don't mean you should do it now. I just mean this is all so unexpected. I haven't got the remotest idea of how to respond."

"Just walk some more," he said. "Have a nice time."

They started walking again.

"How did you expect me to react?" she said.

"How would I know what to expect?" he said. "I've never done anything like this before."

"Did you think I would throw myself into you arms?" she said.

"Maybe," he said.

"I'm sorry to disappointed you," she said.

"I'm not disappointed," he said. "I wasn't counting on it. This is very nice, just walking." Catharine stopped again." You know what happens next?" she said.

"Nope," he said.

"We shake hands, "she said. "We shake hands and part friends," she said. "That's what happens next."

Newt nodded. "All right," he said. "Remember me from time to time. Remember how much I love you."

Involuntarily, Catharine burst into tears. She turned her back to Newt, looked into the infinite colonnade of the woods.

"What does that mean?" said Newt.

"Rage!" said Catharine. she clenched her hands. "You have no right--"

"I had to find out," he said.

"If I'd loved you," she said, "I would have let you know before now."

"You would?" he said.

"Yes," she said. She faced him, looked up at him, her face quite red. "You would have known, "she said.

"How?" he said.

"You would have seen it, "she said. "Would aren't very clever at hiding it."

Newt looked closely at Catharine's face now. To her distress, she realized that what she had said was true, that a woman couldn't hide love.

Newt was seeing love now.

And he did what he had to do. He kissed her.

"You're hell to get along with!" she said when Newt let her go.

"I am?" said Newt.

"You shouldn't have done that, "she said.

"You didn't like it?" he said.

"What did you expect," she said--"wild, abandoned passion?"

"I keep telling you," he said, "I never know what's going to happen next."

"We say good-by," she said.

He frowned slightly. "All right," he said.

She made another speech. "I'm not sorry we kissed," she said. "That was sweet. We should have kissed, we've been so close. I'll always remember you, Newt, and good luck."

"You too," he said.

"Thank you, Newt," she said.

"Thirty days," he said.

"What?" she said.

"Thirty days in the stockade," he said--"that's what one kiss will cost me."

"I--I'm sorry," she said, "but I didn't ask you to go A.W.O.L."

"I know, "he said.

"You certainly don't deserve any hero's reward for doing something as foolish as that," she said. "Must be nice to be a hero," said Newt. "Is Henry Stewart Chasens a hero?"

"He might be, if he got the chance," said Catharine. She noted uneasily that they had begun to walk again. That farewell had been forgotten.

"You really love him?" he said.

"Certainly I love him!" she said hotly. "I would not marry him if I didn't love him!"

"What's good about him?" said Newt.

"Honestly!" she cried, stopping again. "Do you have any idea how offensive you're being? Many, many, many things are good about Henry! Yes," she said, "and many, many, many things are probably bad too. But that isn't any of your business. I love Henry, and I don't have to argue his merits with you!"

"Sorry," said Newt.

"Honestly!" said Catharine.

Newt kissed her again. He kissed her again because she wanted him to.

They were now in a large orchard.

"How did we get so far from home, Newt?" said Catharine.

"One foot in front of the other--through leaves, over bridges," said Newt.

"They add up--the steps," she said.

Bells rang in the tower of the school for the blind nearby.

"School for the blind," said Newt.

"School for the blind," said Catharine. She shook her head in drowsy wonder. "I've got to go back now," she said.

"Say good-by," said Newt.

"Every time I do," said Carharine, "I seem to get kissed."

Newt sat down on the close-cropped grass under an apple tree ."Sit down," he said.

"No," she said.

"I won't touch you," he said.

"I don't believe you," she said.

She sat down under another tree, twenty feet away from him. She closed her eyes.

"Dream of Henry Stewart Chasens," he said.

"What?" she said.

"Dream of your wonderful husband-to-be," he said.

"All right, I will," she said. She closed her eyes tighter, caught glimpses of her hus- band-to-be. Newt yawned.

The bees were humming in the trees, and Catharine almost fell asleep. When she opened her eyes she saw that Newt really was asleep.

He began to snore softly.

Catharine let Newt sleep for an hour, and while he slept she adored him with all her heart.

The shadows of the apple trees grew to the east. The bells in the tower of the school for the blind rang again.

"Chick-a-dee-dee-dee," went a chickadee.

Somewhere far away an automobile starter nagged and failed, nagged and failed, fell still. Catharine came out from under her tree, knelt by Newt.

"Newt?" she said.

"H'm?" he said, He opened his eyes.

"Late," she said.

"Hello, Catharine," he said.

"Hello, Newt," she said.

"I love you," he said.

"I know," she said.

"Too late," she said.

He stood, stretched groaningly." A very nice walk." he said.

"I thought so," she said.

"Part company here?" he said.

"Where will you go?" she said.

"Hitch into town, turn myself in ,"he said.

"Good luck," she said.

"You too," he said ."Marry me, Catharine?"

"No," she said.

He smiled, stared at her hard for a moment, then walked away quickly.

Catharine watched him grow smaller in the long perspective of shadows and trees, knew that if he stopped and turned now, if he called to her, she would run to him. She would have no choice. Newt did stop. He did turn. He did call. "Catharine," he called.

She ran to him, put her arms around him, could not speak.

永恒的漫步

他们从小邻里长大，青梅竹马。经常一起去附近的田野树林玩耍，或者站在高处眺望一座盲人学校的可爱钟楼。

现在他们已年满20，彼此有一年多没有见面。尽管两人在一起时，互相都感到愉悦温暖，但彼此从没有提及过爱。

他叫做信，而她是忍。

一个美丽的午后，信敲响了忍的家门。

忍应声走向门口，手中拿着一本厚重华丽的杂志，一本为新娘设计的杂志。

“信！！”门口赫然站着的人使她吃惊。

“下午好，能出来走走吗？”信很是平常。他是个害羞的人，即使和忍在一起。他总是用自己的方式掩饰羞涩，说话心不在焉，开开玩笑之类。

“走走？”

“一步一步，”他说，“塌过落叶，越过小桥-----”

“我不知道你回来了？”忍说。

“刚到。”

“你还在在西点吧。”

“还有7个多月得过。”他是西点军校的上将，此时却不修边幅，鞋也脏兮兮的，需要好好清洗清洗。

他伸手拿过杂志。“我看看。”

她伸手交给他：“我要结婚了，信。”

“我知道，我们出去走走吧。”他说

“我非常忙，信，”她摇摇头：“离婚礼只剩一周了。”

“我们出去走走的话，”信低下头：“你会轻松许多，会让你容光焕发——美丽的新娘。”他翻着杂志：“一个绝对耀眼的新娘——像她——像她，”他翻着，指给她看那些玫瑰般的新娘。

忍微红了脸。

“那是我给树的礼物，”信说：“带你散散步，我将给他一个最美的新娘。”

“你知道他的名字？”忍问道。

“是的，老妈来信说的。”

“你会喜欢他的。”

“但愿。”信坐下去。

“怎么，你的休假不够长吗？”她问道。

“休假？”他正研究一套讲究的婚嫁器皿：“我没有在休假。”

“啊？”忍再次吃惊。

“我现在是所谓的A.W.Q.L。”新一略带俏皮。（A.W.Q.L即未经许可，擅自离开）

“信！不会吧！”西点的校规之严，她是知道的。

“我得看看你的和服款式啊。”他说：“而且，我打算送你们一套银器----像这样。”

“信，信，说实话——”她急了。

“我想出去走走，”他站了起来。

“啊，你说你擅自离校，是骗我的对不对？”

信轻轻模仿警笛的声音，抬起了眼眸。

“你怎么回来的，信？”她有点生气了。

他伸出拇指，作了个搭便车的姿势。“用了2天。”

“你妈妈知道吗？”

“我没有去见她。”

“那你来见谁？”

“你。”

“为什么是我？”忍惊异了。

“因为我爱你，”他说，“现在可以去走走了吗？”他站了起来，“一步一步，踏过落叶，越过小桥-----”

于是他们去散步了。在落叶铺金的树林里。

忍有点恼怒，几欲就要滴下泪。“信，这完全不象话。”

“怎么说？”

“你在一个多么不合适宜的时间说你爱我，”忍快速地说：“你从来没有告诉过我。”她停下脚步。

“不要停下，继续走。”

“不，”忍坚决地：“到此为止。一步也不走了。我本来就不应该和你出来。”

“应该的。”

“我应该把你踢出屋子。如果有人听到你刚才的话，在婚礼一周前……”

“他们会怎么想？”信挑挑眉。

“他们会认为你疯了，或者说你是个混蛋。”

“为什么？”

忍深深地吸了口气：“这样说吧，对于你的壮举我实在是受宠若惊，”她说，“我不能相信你真的无故离校，也许你的确是；我也不能相信你爱我，但也可能你真的是——可是——”

“是真的。”信很平静。

“好吧，就算吧。”忍轻轻叹口气：“我也很喜欢你，信。作为朋友。真的很喜欢——但是太迟了。”她退后一步，望着他：“你从来没有表示过。”

信向她走去，她轻轻再次退后：“我没有说你现在应该补偿。只是这一切太出乎意料了，我根本没有想过。”

“继续走吧，来。”

“你希望我会作出什么反应？”

“我不知道，我以前又没作过这事。”

“你认为我会转念向你？”

“可能是吧。”

“那么很抱歉让你失望了。”

“我没有失望啊，”信慢慢走着：“我根本不抱期望。这样就足够了，和你走走。”

忍再次停住脚步：“知道接着会发生什么吗？”

“不知道。”

“我们握别，像朋友一样道再见。”忍顿了顿：“这就是下面的事。”

信点了点头，“好吧，”他说：“不要忘了我，不要忘了我爱你。”

不自觉的，忍落下泪来。她转过身来，背对他，看着两行悠长而齐整的树木。

“这是干什么？”

忍轻咬着嘴唇，用力地握着拳：“你没有权利——”

“我必须知道。”

“如果我爱你，我早就会让你知道。”

“是吗？”

“你肯定会发觉的，你是个聪明人，而且……我一向不会很好地隐瞒。”忍嚅声地说。

信凑近了脸，注视着忍的神情。忍紧张地别过眼，认识到自己很难成功地掩盖过去。

这一刻，信看见了爱。

他轻轻地吻了她。

“你……这是干什么！！”忍慌乱地推开他。“混蛋！”

“我？”

“你不该那么做！”

“你不愿意吗？”信偏偏头。

“你到底准备怎样，是想引起大骚乱吗？”忍咬咬牙。

“我说过啊，我不知道接着会发生什么。”

“我们说再见吧。”

他轻轻的皱了皱眉，“好吧。”

“我得说，我不讨厌你的吻。”忍有点难以启齿：“很……喜欢。我会一直记着你的，信，再见了，多保重。”

“你也一样。”

“谢谢你，信。”忍慢慢的微笑了。

“30天。”

“什么？”忍不解。

“我会被禁闭30天，”信自嘲地：“一个吻的代价。”

“我——我很抱歉，恩，对不起，并不是我没有要你……”

“我知道。”信温和地笑笑。

“你当然不会得到英雄般的欢迎拉，做这种傻事。”忍恢复了顽皮。

“做个英雄肯定很好，”信转过脸：“树是英雄吗？”

忍的笑容消失了：“可能吧。”她没有察觉到又一轮的谈话开始了，再见的事情被忘到九霄云外去了。

“你真的爱他吗？”

“当然！”忍气愤地大声道：“不爱他怎么会嫁给他！”

“他很好吗？”

“是的！”她停下来：“他人很好，有许多许多优点，是的，还有许多许多的缺点。但这不关你的事，我爱他。”忍激动了。

“对不起。”信低下头望着她。

他再次吻了她，吻落她几欲夺眶的泪水。

不知不觉，他们来到一个很大的果园。

“我们怎么走了这么远，信？“忍惊异地四下望望，眼前是童年时代就已熟识的果园。

“一步一步走来的，踏着落叶，越过小桥。”

“然后来到了这里。”忍怔怔地。

这时，附近盲人学校的钟声响了起来。

“盲校的钟声。“信说。

“盲人学校的……”忍有点困倦地摇摇头：“我想回家了，信。”

“说再见？”

“每次这个时候，我好象都会被吻。”

信在一棵苹果树下的草地上坐下，“过来坐下吧。”他说。

“不要。”

“我不会碰你的。”信略觉好笑。

“我可不相信。”忍孩子般的撇撇嘴。

她坐在另一棵树下，离新一约5米远。她闭上眼睛。

“梦见树？”

“什么？”她睁开眼。

“梦见你的如意郎君？”

“当然。”她作了个鬼脸，再次闭上眼，在脑海里勾勒了一下未婚夫的身影。

信打了个呵欠。

树上的蜜蜂嗡嗡地忙着，忍几乎要睡着了。当她开眼时，发现不远处的信已经熟睡。

她轻轻走过去坐在他的身旁，深情地望着那张孩子般的睡脸，倾注了灵魂般地凝视。

这时，苹果树的影子已经东移。钟楼的钟声也再一次地响起。

“咕咕——咕咕——”树上的鸟儿开始唱晚。

不远处的汽车引擎点了又熄，熄了又点，重复在这静谧里。

她看了看天，然后跪坐在他身旁。

“信？”她轻声道。

“恩——？”他睁开了眼。

“晚了。”

“你好，忍。”他说。

“你好，信。”

“我爱你。”

“我知道。”

“晚了。”他说。

“晚了。”她说。

他站了起来，伸个懒腰：“很愉快的散步呢。”他说。“是啊。”

“在此分别？”

“你会去哪儿？”忍问道。

“回校禁闭。”

“保重。”

“你也是。”他说：“嫁给我好吗？”

“不。”她说。

他笑了，深深地注视她好一会，然后快步离去。

忍看着他在两行树翳中渐行渐远，眼中浮起氤氲。

她想，如果这时他停下，转过身，如果他再一次叫她的名字，自己会毫不犹豫地奔向他。她别无选择。

就在这时，远处的背影停下了，他真的转过身，真的再一次叫了她的名字：“忍。”他呼唤道。

眼泪瞬间迸了出来，她向他跑去，紧紧地拥抱他，一句话也说不出来

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题含答案及解析

一、中考英语阅读理解汇编 1．阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow. When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality. Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic. They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive. So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people. （1）What is the passage mainly about? A. Environmental protection. B. The world of tomorrow. C. Advantages of technology. （2）What do we learn from the passage? A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap. C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课 高金梅 内蒙古集宁一中 关键字英语阅读文化背景语法词汇技巧方法 摘要阅读教学就是培养学生有效地进行阅读，培养学生在短时间内获取更多的信息并对信息进行分析推理判断的能力，所以教师要进行有效地教学，让学生在了解文化背景知识，掌握一定的词汇语法知识，有一定的阅读技巧的基础上进行阅读，阅读的效果通过练习进行检测。 随着信息社会的出现，教育既要传播信息，又要培养学生摄取信息、处理信息的能力，而阅读教学的目的就是在于培养交际性阅读能力,有效地获取书面信息，并对此信息进行分析，推理和评价，以实现交际的目的。 阅读课在英语教学中占有重要的地位，它是提高英语教学质量的主要途径，在阅读教学中，教师应改变观念，以学生为主体、教师为主导，加强对学生阅读技能的训练，采用阅读前作有效的导入，阅读中要善于提出明确的目标，阅读后加强训练以巩固，同时还要培养学生的自学能力，切实提高学生的阅读水平。英语阅读在英语教学中无疑有着举足轻重的作用，阅读亦为英语学习输入的重要手段。因此，提高学生的阅读水平至关重要。那么，如何才能达到此目的呢？本人认为，应该从以下几方面着手： 1.了解文化背景知识。 在阅读前，如果我们对某方面的背景知识很了解，不仅可以提高阅读速度，而且可以提高我们对阅读时的信心和加深对文章的理解。有了背景知识，我们不必明白文章中的每一个单词就能理解文章。所以在平时教学中，有必要让学生查阅一些相关资料或者利用多媒体给学生演示一些相关的文化背景知识，这样可以扩宽学生的视野，提高学生阅读的兴趣。例如：十八世纪英国历史时有这样一个句子：“The last was the Battle of Waterlo o, won by the duke of Wellington over the great Napoleon, a victory so important and so complete that today, when we say that a man will …meet his Waterloo?, we mean he will encounter final disaster.”此句中提到了一位历史人物拿破仑（Napoleon）和一场著名的战役———滑铁卢战役（The Battle of Waterloo）。首先来了解一下拿破仑的身世，他在1804-1815 年间任法国皇帝，史称拿破仑一世。而滑铁卢是位于比利时首都布鲁塞尔以南20 公里处的小村。1815 年6 月，拿破仑一世与反法同盟联军在这里展开了最后的决战。结果，拿破仑败北，遭终生流放，这就是著名的滑铁卢之战。滑铁卢也因此而闻名于世，它几乎成了最终失败的代名词。该句中“meet his Waterloo”意指“最终遭受惨败”（尤指经过一段成功之后）。因此，当我们说一个人将“meet his Waterloo”时，指的就是他将遭受彻底的失败。又如对下列这段文字的理解：Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn?t find it-he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them. 这段话选自弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德（Frederick C. Crawford）的短篇故事“Tony Trivisonno?s American Dream”。这段话是对托尼追寻美国梦的描述。从字面上看，我们只能理解到作者在描述一个勤奋的移民来美国努力工作，最终成功的故事。但如果我们结合“美国梦”及美国人生活特点这一社会文化背景，我们就会发现美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义。但对许多人尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。了解了这一点，我们就会更好地理解这篇文章的潜在涵义。 2.注重词汇和语法知识。 阅读理解不是一项独立的英语技能，它与词汇、语法、文化背景知识等密切相关。因此，在平时的教学活动中，我们要重视学生的单词、语法知识和文化背景知识的积累。 (1)打好词汇基础。每一篇文章都是由词汇组成的，词汇的记忆和应用是阅读理解的第一步。高中学生应该具有3000多词汇量，这需要在平时让学生通过音标，构词法，同义词反义词

Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now. If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it! No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being. Share your uniqueness. Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away! See it! Receive it! Let it inform you, move you and inspire you! You are unique!

(英语)英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析

（英语）英语阅读理解练习题20篇及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Many people have long dreamed of being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle. Yet the safety and strength of a flying bike was always a big problem. Over the past 10 years, developments in technology have moved the dream of personal flying vehicles closer to reality. Now, two groups of inventors say such vehicles may be available soon. The British company Malloy Aeronautics has developed a prototype (原型) of its flying bicycle. Grant Stapleton, marketing sales director of Malloy Aeronautics, says the Hoverbike is able to get in and out of small spaces very quickly. It can be moved across continents very quickly because it can be folded and packed, he adds. Mr. Stapleton says safety was the company's main concern. He says the designers solved the safety issue by using overlapping rotors ( 交叠式旋翼 )to power the vehicle. The company is testing a full-size prototype of the Hoverbike, which will most likely be used first by the police and emergency rescue teams. In New Zealand, the Martin Aircraft Company is also testing a full-size prototype of its personal flying device, called the Jetpack. It can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour. Peter Coker is the CEO of Martin Aircraft Company. He said the Jetpack “is built around safety from the start. In his words, reliability is the most important element of it. We have safety built into the actual structure itself, very similar to a Formula One racing car.” The Jetpack uses a gasoline-powered engine that produces two powerful jet streams. Mr. Coker says it also has a parachute (降落伞) that can be used should there be an emergency. “It starts to work at very low altitude and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot,” he adds. Mr. Coker says the Jetpack will be ready for sale soon. （1）We can learn from the passage that the Hoverbike . A. can hardly get in and out of small spaces quickly B. can fly for over 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high C. has been used by the police and emergency rescue teams D. can be transported quickly after being folded and packed （2）The writer uses the example of For One racing car to show that . A. the Jetpack is very safe and reliable B. the engine of the Jetpack is powerful C. the actual structure of the Jetpack is unique D. the Jetpack can reach a great speed and height （3）The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer s to. A. the jet stream B. the engine C. the Jetpack D. the parachute （4）What is the authors main purpose of writing the passage? A. To describe the problems of inventing flying vehicles. B. To introduce the latest development of flying vehicles. C. To show the differences between two flying vehicles. D. To advertise the two personal

高中英语阅读课流程

高中英语阅读课流程 阅读课应该是我们的传统课，是核心课，也是成熟的课型。大家对阅读课模式已经深入人心，但对其内涵还需要进一步解读和完善，尤其是青年教师。 一、读前(Before reading )：leading-in 1.导入，简洁明了，直奔主题，目的是激发学生阅读兴趣。 这次老师们导入都没有超过三分钟，把宝贵的时间留给了阅读，留给了学生。非常好。有的利用图片，视频，话题等直接引入。 2．预测 本文非常值得预测，而且课文中也提示这样做。预测之后检查预测，就形成了fast reading，同时告诉他们阅读策略。但并不是每篇文章都需要预测，要根据文章话题，结构而定。 3.生词处理 生词是否要处理（目的和需要）？何时处理好（时机）？怎样处理（方式）？阅读课的目的是为了理解，培养阅读能力和阅读微技能。生词处理的目的也应该为了阅读，为了更好的理解文本而服务。生词是否需要处理要根据生词的量而定。如果太多影响学生理解或即使学生猜测也不能理解的话，就很有必要处理，绝不能回避。本文共39个生词，既有生僻词汇，专有名词，也有重要词汇和重点短语，因而需要处理。 何时处理好（时机）？分散与集中相结合。根据文章需要可以在读前如专有名词，在读中如skimming, scanning中进行。如在回答问题中，在问题中，在答案中让学生通过句子和上下文进行猜测或者在同义词替换，或者举出一个语境来猜测。也可以在careful reading集中处理。 怎样处理（方式）？①给出英语解释；②在语境中猜测如use up。My money has used up, and I have to ask parents for help. I have run out of my money, and I have to ask parents for help. I have no money now.③用图片的方式在问题中或回 答问题中进行。如alternative energy ,利用图片展示wind energy, water energy, solar energy然后在组句Wind energy, water energy and solar energy are the forms of the alternative energy.这样学生就可以理解了。再例如，问句What people won’t have to pay for?中won’t have to pay for means free of change。④在长难句翻译中猜测。All forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others will be provided free of charge. Free of charge means for free or needn’t pay for.⑤直接给出汉语意思。⑥部分不影响篇章理解的词汇可忽略。 二、读中(while-reading )Input：有序输入（top-down-top） 分层阅读并限时进行。限时要有依据，文本有多少单词，高一学生需要几分钟，高二学生设定几分钟，高三学生要几分钟。这些不仅要根据文本的长短，还要依据本文的生词量多少，文章的题材（说明、议论、记叙、新闻报道等），文章的

The willow twigs, daubed with a light green by several days of sunshine, are now covered all over with dust and look so sickly that they need to be washed. And the parched soil and tree roots have likewise been dying for rainfall. Yet the rain is reluctant to come down. I can never forget the thunderstorm we often had in my hometown.
