April Fools' Special: History's Hoaxes

Happy April Fools' Day. To mark the occasion, National Geographic News has compiled a list of some of the more memorable hoaxes in recent history. They are the lies, darned(可恨的) lies, and whoppers(弥天大谎)that have been perpetrated on the gullible(易受骗的)and unsuspecting to fulfill that age-old desire held by some to put the joke on others.

Internet Hoaxes

The Internet has given birth to a proliferation(增殖)of hoaxes. E-mail inboxes are bombarded on an almost daily basis with messages warning of terrible computer viruses that cause users to delete benign(良性)chunks of data from their hard drives, or of credit card scams that entice the naive to give all their personal information, including passwords and bank account details, to identity thieves. Other e-mails give rise to wry(歪曲的)chuckles, which is where this list begins.

Ban Dihydrogen Monoxide(一氧化二氢)

City officials in Aliso Viejo, California, were so concerned about the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide that they scheduled a vote last month on whether to ban foam(泡沫)cups from city-sponsored events after they learned the chemical was used in foam-cup production.

Officials called off the vote after learning that dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific term for water.

“It's embarrassing,” city manager David J. Norman told the Associated Press. “We had a paralegal(律师助手)who did bad research.”

Indeed, the paralegal had fallen victim to an official-looking Web site touting the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide. An e-mail originally authored in 1990 by Eric Lechner, then a graduate student at the University of California, Santa Cruz, claimed that dihydrogen monoxide “is used as an industrial solvent and coolant, and is used in the production of Styrofoam(聚苯乙烯泡沫塑料).”

Other dangers pranksters(爱开玩笑的人)associated with the chemical included accelerated corrosion and rusting, severe burns, and death from inhalation.

Versions of the e-mail continue to circulate today, and several Web sites, including that of the Coalition to Ban DHMO, warn, tongue-in-cheek, of water's dangers.

Alabama Changes Value of Pi

The April newsletter put out by New Mexicans for science and Reason contains an article titled “Alabama Legislature Lays Siege to Pi”. It was penned by April Holiday of the Associmated Press (sic) and told the story of how the Alabama state legislature voted to change the value of the mathematical constant Pi from 3.14159 to the round number of 3.

The ersatz(假的)news story was written by Los Alamos National Laboratory physicist Mark Boslough to parody(滑稽地模仿)legislative and school board attacks on the teaching of evolution in New Mexico.

At Boslough's suggestion, Dave Thomas, the president of New Mexicans for science and Reason, posted the article in its entirety to the Internet newsgroup Talk. Origins on April 1. (The newsgroup hosts a lively debate on creation vs. evolution.) Later that evening Thomas posted a full confession to the hoax. He thought he had put all rumors to bed.

But to Thomas's surprise, however, several newsgroup readers forwarded the article to friends and posted it on other newsgroups.

When Thomas checked in on the story a few weeks later, he was surprised to learn that it had spread like wildfire. The telltale signs of the article's satirical intent, such as the April 1 date and misspelled “Associmated Press” dateline, had been replaced or deleted.

Alabama legislators were bombarded with calls protesting the law. The legislators explained that the news was a hoax. There was not and never had been such a law.

TV and Newspaper Hoaxes

Before the advent of the Internet, and even today, traditional media outlets such as newspapers, radio, and television, have sometimes hoaxed their audiences. The deceptions run the gamut from purported natural disasters to wishful news.

Swiss Spaghetti (意大利式细面条) Harvest

Alex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes, a regularly updated Web site that also appeared in book form in November , said one of his favorite hoaxes remains one perpetrated by the British Broadcasting Company.

On April 1, 1957, the BBC aired a report on the television news show Panorama about the bumper spaghetti harvest in southern Switzerland.

Viewers watched Swiss farmers pull pasta off spaghetti trees as the show's anchor, Richard Dimbleby, attributed the bountiful harvest to the mild winter and the disappearance of the spaghetti weevil.

The broadcaster detailed the ins and outs of the life of the spaghetti farmer and anticipated questions about how spaghetti grows on trees. Thousands of people believed the report and called the BBC to inquire about growing their own spaghetti trees, to which the BBC replied, “Place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.”

“It was a great satirical effect about British society,” Boese said. “British society really was like that at that time. The British have a tendency to be a bit insulated(绝缘的) and do not know that much about the rest of Europe.”

Taco Liberty Bell

On April 1, , readers in five major U.S. cities opened their newspapers to learn from a full page announcement that the Taco Bell Corporation had purchased the Liberty Bell from the U.S. government. The announcement reported that the company was relocating the historic bell from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Irvine, California. The move, the corporation said in the advertisement, was part of an “effort to help the national debt”.

Hundreds of other newspapers and television shows ran stories related to the press release on the matter put out by Taco Bell's public relations firm, PainePR. Outraged citizens called the Liberty Bell National Historic Park in Philadelphia to express their disgust. A few hours later the public relations firm released another press announcement stating that the stunt was a hoax.

White House press secretary Mike McCurry got into the act when he remarked that the government would also be “selling the Lincoln Memorial to Ford Motor Company and renaming it the Lincoln-Mercury Memorial”.

Crop Circles

Strange, circular formations began to appear in the fields of southern England in the mid-1970s, bringing busloads of curious onlookers, media representatives, and believers in the paranormal out to the countryside for a look.

A sometimes vitriolic(讽刺的)debate on their origins has since ensued(跟着发生), and the curious formations have spread around the world, becoming more and more elaborate as the years go by.

Some people consider the crop formations to be the greatest works of modern art to emerge from the 20th century, while others are convinced they are signs of extraterrestrial communications or landing sites of UFOs.

The debate rages even today, although in 1991 Doug Bower and Dave Chorley, two elderly men from Wiltshire County, came forward and claimed responsibility for the crop circles that appeared there over the preceding 20 years. The pair made the circles by pushing down nearly ripe crops with a wooden plank suspended from a rope.

Moon Landing―a Hoax?

Ever since NASA sent astronauts to the moon between 1969 and 1972, skeptics have questioned whether the Apollo missions were real or simply a ploy to one-up(领先)the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The debate resurfaced and reached crescendo levels in February , when For television aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon?

Guests on the show argued that NASA did not have the technology to land on the moon. Anxious to win the space race, NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios, they said. The conspiracy theorists pointed out that the pictures transmitted from the moon do not include stars and that the flag the Americans planted on the moon is waving, even though there is though to be no breeze on the moon.

NASA quickly refuted these claims in a series of press releases, stating that any photographer would know it is difficult to capture something very bright and very dim on the same piece of film. Since the photographers wanted to capture the astronauts striding across the lunar surface in their sunlit space suits, the background stars were too faint to see.

As for the flag, NASA said that the astronauts were turning it back and forth to get in firmly planted in the lunar soil, which made it wave.

1. Some people have the age-old desire to put the joke on others.

2. According to the passage, the only form of Internet hoaxes is e-mail hoax.

3. Dihydrogen monoxide is a very dangerous chemical, which is often used as an industrial solvent.

4. Dihydrogen monoxide can accelerate corrosion and rusting, and cause sever burns and even death from inhalation.

5. The reason why the ersatz news that Alabama changed the value of Pi spread wildly was that ________ forwarded the article to friends and posted it on other newsgroups.

6. Traditional media outlets such as ________ may still hoax their audiences nowadays.

7. According to Boese, many people believed the report of Swiss spaghetti harvest because the British did not know ________.

8. According to a hoax announcement, the Taco Bell Corporation bough the Liberty Bell and moved it to Irvine to help ________.

9. The crop circles were thought to be the greatest works of modern art, the signs of ________ or landing sites of UFOs.

10. Some people thought that NASA acted out the Apollo program in movie studios partially because the pictures transmitted from the moon do not include ________.

篇2：托福阅读强化模拟试题

In 1900 the United States had only three cities with more than a million residents ― New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. By 1930, it had ten giant metropolises. The newer ones experienced remarkable growth, which reflected basic changes in the economy.

The population of Los Angeles (114,000 in 1900) rose spectacularly in the early decades of the twentieth century, increasing a dramatic 1,400 percent from 1900 to 1930. A number of circumstances contributed to the meteoric rise of Los Angeles. The agricultural potential of the area was enormous if water for irrigation could be found, and the city founders had the vision and dating to obtain it by constructing a 225-mile aqueduct, completed in 1913, to tap the water of the Owens River. The city had a superb natural harbor, as well as excellent rail connections. The climate made it possible to shoot motion pictures year-round; hence Hollywood. Hollywood not only supplied jobs; it disseminated an image of the good life in Southern California on screens all across the nation. The most important single industry powering the growth of Los Angeles, however, was directly linked to the automobile. The demand for petroleum to fuel gasoline engines led to the opening of the Southern California oil fields, and made Los Angeles North America's greatest refining center.

Los Angeles was a product of the auto age in another sense as well: its distinctive spatial organization depended on widespread private ownership of automobiles. Los Angeles was a decentralized metropolis, sprawling across the desert landscape over an area of 400 square miles. It was a city without a real center. The downtown business district did not grow apace with the city as a whole, and the rapid transit system designed to link the center with outlying areas withered away from disuse. Approximately 800,000 cars were registered in Los Angeles County in 1930, one per 2.7 residents. Some visitors from the east coast were dismayed at the endless urban sprawl and dismissed Los Angeles as a mere collection of suburbs in search of a city. But the freedom and mobility of a city built on wheels attracted floods of migrants to the city.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

(A) The growth of cities in the United States in the early 1900's

(B) The development of the Southern California oil fields

(D) Industry and city planning in Los Angeles

2. The author characterizes the growth of new large cities in the United States after 1900 as resulting primarily from

(A) new economic conditions

(B) images of cities shown in movies

(D) a large migrant population

3. The word “meteoric” in line 6 is closest in meaning to

(A) rapid

(B) famous

(D) methodical

4. The word “it” in line 8 refers to

(A) aqueduct

(B) vision

(D) agricultural potential

5. According to the passage , the most important factor in the development of agriculture around Los Angeles was the

(A) influx of new residents to agricultural areas near the city

(B) construction of an aqueduct

(D) development of new connections to the city's natural harbor

6. According to the passage , the initial success of Hollywood' s motion picture industry was due largely to the

(A) availability of many skilled workers

(B) beauty of the countryside

(D) region's climate and good weather

7. It can be inferred from the passage that in 1930 the greatest number of people in the Los Angeles area were employed in

(D) at the middle of

10. It can be inferred from the passage that the spatial organization of Los Angeles contributed to the relative decline there of

(A) public transportation

(B) industrial areas

(D) oil fields

篇3：英语六级阅读模拟试题附答案

Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce large volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are poisonous. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agriculture chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.

There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be lessened. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to” disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents (废料) , to permit the reuse of the water or best reduce pollution upon final disposal.

A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient (养料 ) or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation and for the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste production into marketable byproducts. Other industries have potential economic uses for their waste products.

26. The purpose of this passage is_______.

A. to warn the reader of the dwindling water supply

B. to explain industrial uses of water

C. to acquaint the reader with water pollution problems

D. to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem

27.which of the following points is not included in the passage?

A. Industrial development includes the simplification of complex chemical processes.

B. Diluting wastes needs certain amount of water.

C. Demands for water will go up along with the expanding population.

D. Intensive cultivation of land requires more and more chemicals.

28.The reader can conclude that_______.

A. countries of the world will work together on pollution problems

B. byproducts from wastes lead to a more prosperous marketplace

C. science is making great progress on increasing water supplieswww.examw.com

D. some industries are now making economic use of wastes

29.The author gives substance to the passage through the use of_______.

A. interviews with authorities in the field of water controls

B. opinion and personal observations

C. definitions which clarify important terms

D. strong argument and persuasions

30.The words “prior to” (Para. 2) probably mean_______.

A. after B. during

C. before D. beyond

答案：

26. C 27. A 28. D 29. B 30. C

篇4：12月英语六级阅读模拟试题

Work is a very important part of life in the United States. When the early Protestant immigrants came to this country, they brought the idea that work was the way to God and heaven. This attitude, the Protestant work ethic, still influences America today. Work is not only important for economic benefits, the salary, but also for social and psychological needs, the feeling of doing something for the good of the society. Americans spend most of their lives working, being productive. For most Americans, their work defines them; they are what they do. What happens, then when a person can no longer work?

Most Americans stop working at age sixty-five or seventy and retire. Because work is such an important part of life in this culture, retirement can be very difficult. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire; but leaving one’s job, whatever it is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Many retirees do not know how to use their time or they feel lost without jobs.

Retirement can also bring financial problems. Many people rely on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. These checks do not provide enough money to live on, however, because prices are increasing very rapidly. Senior citizens, those over sixty-five, have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. The rate of inflation is forcing prices higher each year; Social Security checks alone cannot cover Medicare (health care) and welfare (general assistance) but many senior citizens have to change their lifestyles after retirement. They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to but food, fuel, and other necessities.

Of course, many senior citizens are happy with retirement. They have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part time; others do volunteer work. Some, like those in the Retired Business Executives Association, even help young people to get started in new business. Many retired citizens also belong to “Golden Age” groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many opportunities for retirees.

Americans society is only beginning to be concerned about the special physical and emotional needs of its senior citizens. The government is taking steps to ease the problem of limited income. They are building new housing, offering discounts in stores and museums and on buses, and providing other services, such as free courses, food service, and help with housework. Retired citizens are a rapidly growing percentage of the population. This part of the population is very important and we must respond to their needs. After all, every citizen will be a senior citizen some day.

1.The early immigrants considered work ___.

A.too hard

B.important

C.pleasant

D.dull

2.Why do Americans like working? Because working ___.

A.doesn’t only mean money but it is also psychological

B.can make life more comfortable

C.can prove people to be independent

D.gives people funny

3.We can safely put forward that retirees who ___.

A.have no financial problems still want to earn more money

B.have financial problems still feel lost

C.have no financial problems still feel lost

D.have no financial problems feels it’s hard to make ends meet

4.According to the passage the government ___.

A.hadn’t paid attention to the retirees’ problems

B.has already solved a lot of retirees’ problems

C.has just begun to pay attention to the retirees’ problems

D.won’t pay attention to the retirees’ problems

5.Which of the following is not steps taken for the benefit of senior citizens by the government?

A.New housing has been built.

B.The old are offered discounts in stores.

C.Senior citizens are provided free courses, food service.

D.None.

篇5：英语六级阅读模拟试题带答案

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient institution, which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has changed this. Either man will abolish war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war. I believe this to be a big error. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.

1. This passage implies that war is now ___.

A. worse than in the past.

B. as bad as in the past

C. not so dangerous as in the past

D. as necessary as in the past

2. In the sentence “To do this, we need to persuade mankind” (Para 1), “this” refers to ___.

A. abolish war

B. improve weapons

C. solve international problems

D. live a peaceful life

3. From Paragraph 2 we learn that the author of the passage ___.

A. is an adherent of some modern ideologies.

B. does not think that adoption of any ideology could prevent war.

C. believe that the adoption of some ideology could prevent war.

D. does not doubt the truth of any ideologies.

4. According to the author, ___.

A. war is the only way to solve international disputes.

B. war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of weapons.

C. it is impossible for the people to live without war.

D. war must be abolished if man wants to survive.

5. The last paragraph suggests that ___.

A. international agreements can be reached more easily now.

B. man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war.

C. nuclear war will definitely not take place.

D. world opinion welcomes nuclear war

篇6：托福阅读强化模拟试题及答案

Scientists have discovered that for the last 160,000 years, at least, there has been a consistent relationship between the amount of carbon dioxide in the air and the average temperature of the planet. The importance of carbon dioxide in regulating the Earth's temperature was confirmed by scientists working in eastern Antarctica. Drilling down into a glacier, they extracted a mile-long cylinder of ice from the hole. The glacier had formed as layer upon layer of snow accumulated year after year. Thus drilling into the ice was tantamount to drilling back through time.

The deepest sections of the core are composed of water that fell as snow 160,000 years ago. Scientists in Grenoble, France, fractured portions of the core and measured the composition of ancient air released from bubbles in the ice. Instruments were used to measure the ratio of certain isotopes in the frozen water to get an idea of the prevailing atmospheric temperature at the time when that particular bit of water became locked in the glacier.

The result is a remarkable unbroken record of temperature and of atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide. Almost every time the chill of an ice age descended on the planet, carbon dioxide levels dropped. When the global temperature dropped 9°F (5 °C), carbon dioxide levels dropped to 190 parts per million or so. Generally, as each ice age ended and the Earth basked in a warm interglacial period, carbon dioxide levels were around 280 parts per million. Through the 160,000 years of that ice record, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere fluctuated between 190 and 280 parts per million, but never rose much higher-until the Industrial Revolution beginning in the eighteenth century and continuing today.

There is indirect evidence that the link between carbon dioxide levels and global temperature change goes back much further than the glacial record. Carbon dioxide levels may have been much greater than the current concentration during the Carboniferous period, 360 to 285 million years ago. The period was named for a profusion of plant life whose buried remains produced a large fraction of the coal deposits that are being brought to the surface and burned today.

1. Which of the following does the passage mainly discuss?

(A) Chemical causes of ice ages

(B) Techniques for studying ancient layers of ice in glaciers

(D) Effects of plant life on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere

2. The word “accumulated” in line 6 is closest in meaning to.

(B) changed

(D) built up

3. According to the passage , the drilling of the glacier in eastern Antarctica was important because it

(A) allowed scientists to experiment with new drilling techniques

(B) permitted the study of surface temperatures in an ice-covered region of Earth

(D) confirmed earlier findings about how glaciers are formed

4. The phrase “tantamount to” in line 7 is closest in meaning to

(A) complementary to

(B) practically the same as

(D) unlikely to be confused with

5. According to the passage , Grenoble, France, is the place where

(A) instruments were developed for measuring certain chemical elements

(B) scientists first recorded atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide

(D) the relationship between carbon dioxide and temperature was discovered

6. According to the passage , scientists used isotopes from the water of the ice core to determine which of following?

(A) The amount of air that had bubbled to the surface since the ice had formed

(B) The temperature of the atmosphere when the ice was formed

(D) The rate at which water had been frozen in the glacier

7. The word “remarkable” in line 14 is closest in meaning to

(A) genuine

(B) permanent

(D) continuous

8. The word “link” in line 23 is closest in meaning to

(A) tension

(B) connection

(D) distance

9. The passage implies that the warmest temperatures among the periods mentioned occurred

(A) in the early eighteenth century

(B) 160,000 years ago

(D) between 360 and 285 million years ago

10. According to the passage , the Carboniferous period was characterized by

(A) a reduction in the number of coal deposits

(B) the burning of a large amount of coal

(D) an accelerated rate of glacier formation

11. The passage explains the origin of which of the following terms?

(A) glacier (line 5)

(B) isotopes (line 11)

(D) Carboniferous period (lines 26)

篇7：英语六级考试阅读理解通关试题

It is doing something better than other people that makes us unique. Yet a surprising number of people still see individuality as a surface thing. They wear bright clothes, dye their hair strange colors and decorate their skin with tattoos (文身) to make some kind of social statement.

The whole purpose of individuality is excellence. The people who comprehend the simple principle of being unique through performance make our entire political and economic system work. Those who invent, who improve, who know more about a subject than other people do, and who take something that doesn't work and make it work―these people are the very soul of capitalism.

Charles Kettering didn't like the idea of cranking a car to make it start, so he invented the electric starter. Henry Ford figured out the assembly-line technique and made it possible to mass-produce automobiles. Lewis Waterman saw no need to go on dipping a pen into an inkwell, so he put the ink into the pen. George Westinghouse told the world how to stop a train, and Elisha Otis, inventor of the elevator, indirectly created the city skyline. These people understood that individualism means working at the top of one's capacity.

Fortunately, enough Americans have been inspired to do something with their uniqueness that we have developed in less than three centuries from a frontier outpost into not only a country of freedom but a country strong enough to protect that freedom. These people prized the notions of individuality and excellence above all things and thus kept the great machine functioning. The ones with the purple hair and the horrorable jewelry are just along for the ride, trying to be “different” and not knowing how to go about it.

1 The student who earns A's on his report card has grasped the idea and has found the real meaning of individuality. So has the youngster who has designed his own spaceship, who paints pictures of the world around him, or who can name all the states and their capitals. According to the author unique individuals are persons who______.

A. do something better than other people

B. know more about a subject than other people

C. excel others in work

D. all of the above

2、People who regard individuality as a surface thing always do the following EXCEPT

A. wearing bright clothes B. coloring their hair

C. doing better than others D. decorating their skin with tattoos

3、Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Henry Ford invented assembly-line technique.

B. Elisha Otis was the inventor of the lift

C. George Westinghouse created cranks.

D. Lewis Waterman put the ink into the pen.

4、It can be inferred from the passage that______.

A. the real secret to being unique lies in our excellent work

B. if we want to be different we'd gain more profit

C the student who earns A's on the report card has not grasped the real meaning of individuality

D. all Americans work miracles In the writer's opinion

5、who has understood the sense of individuality?

A. The youngster who designed his own spaceship.

B. The youngster who painted worthy pictures.

C. The youngster who was interested in wearing strange clothes.

D. Both A and B.

篇8：语文试题模拟阅读理解答案

语文试题模拟阅读理解+答案

我等过你

(1)这几年，我的心境与詹姆斯·拉斯特乐队的曲子很贴切。这成了生活中可以称为幸福的事情之一。我听了他的几十张唱片，聆听时怀着憧憬与犹疑，听过已在心里装下充实，像从森林里归来的孩子兜里揣满松果一样。

(2)人与音乐的契合，委实是可遇而不可求的难事。作曲家与演奏家从来都是独裁者，按他们自己的方式诠释生活与哲理。听者只能用声音——唯一的传导符号来体味它背后的无限丰富。当然，伟大的音乐家——让自己的作品引起大多数人共鸣的音乐家——也由此诞生。风烛残年的贝多芬，耳朵全聋了，仍执意指挥《第九交响曲》。这是令乐人们为难的事，又得配合。贝多芬眼盯着乐谱，手臂僵舞，他的耳朵里静悄悄的。乐人们小心地瞟他的手势，他们明知贝氏听不见，但生怕拉错一个音符。乐曲结束了，全场掌声潮起。穿着燕尾服的维也纳人起立鼓掌，眼里漾着热泪。他们尤为结尾《欢乐颂》这一为人类祈祷的乐思所感染。贝多芬却依旧木然。女高音卡洛琳·婉格只好以不大礼貌的方式，抓住他的衣袖，指一指观众席。风湿蹒跚的老贝慢慢转过身来，认真地睽视着观众少顷，尔后鞠躬致谢。

(3)还是回到詹姆斯·拉斯特。说到贝多芬，我会总有一种冲动，像说到苏格拉底这样的圣徒一样。我只想说，他们作品的伟大，像辘辘把的绳子一圈挨一圈致密绕在人格的圆木上。詹姆斯·拉斯特没有贝多芬那么伟大，至少现在还没有人这样说。他只是一个乐队的组织者和指挥家。他所做的是把所有好的音乐作品加以改编，从古典乐曲片段到流行电影插曲。在编配与气质上，使之具有独一无二的詹姆斯·拉斯特的风格。

(4)他是通俗乐队，但本质上却很古典，典雅悠然，富于沉思。在詹姆斯·拉斯特那里，无论是对往昔的回顾，对世事的前瞻，都与我的心性契合——那是一种漫不经心的中庸之美，没有令人眼湿的激情。譬如说描写爱情，其感人处如脚下激起的细碎浪花，瞬间变幻而消隐，耳畔更多的是潮音与涛声，却没有兜头的狂澜。

(5)在照片上，詹姆斯·拉斯特，这位德国不来梅的老头，灰白的金发很长，唇髭整齐，下颏的胡须剪得很好看，古铜色的脸膛上永远带着宁静明朗的笑。这个我心中默默信赖的人，他使我这个没有受过很好音乐教育的人，渐渐理解了许多西方古典乐曲，得以同大师进行儿童与巨人式的沟通。我感谢他。

(6)听老詹。在他的曲子里，我悟出典雅、开阔与不避俗亦为文章之道。在这些纷纷如落叶的乐声里，我寂寞地写着自己的文章。许多时候，环顾左右，也只有老詹的乐声相伴。

(7)还能说什么呢?南非诗人乔科写道：“我只能说——我等过你。”

(选自《掌心化雪》，有改动)

A北疚难∪×吮炊喾摇⒄材匪·拉斯特、苏格拉底、乔科等典型材料，表现了伟大音乐作品能够感染人、启迪人、给人以无尽的美这一主题思想。

B瘪鎏詹姆斯·拉斯特，憧憬，源于对音乐梦境的渴望;犹疑，源于对音乐家“独裁”的敬畏，文章将普通爱乐者的微妙心理表现得真实、细腻。

C北炊喾矣胝材匪·拉斯特相比，他们的音乐各具风采：前者在典雅、恢宏方面更胜一筹;后者在通俗、感人方面更具优势。文章运用对比如实地表现了它们的差异。

2.文章有不少的文字写贝多芬，意在说明“人与音乐的契合，委实是可遇而不可求的难事”(2分)，进而用来表现作者与詹姆斯·拉斯特形成的默契、产生的共鸣(2分)是令人欣喜、弥足珍贵的(2分)。

3.作者“等来的东西”即詹姆斯·拉斯特乐队带给他的两点收获(1分)：①他使我这个没有受过很好音乐教育的人，渐渐理解了许多西方古典乐曲，得以同大师进行儿童与巨人式的沟通(2分);②在他的曲子里，我悟出典雅、开阔与不避俗亦为文章之道(2分)。[本题如果认为作者“等来的东西”是“与我的心性契合的东西——一种漫不经心的中庸之美，没有令人眼湿的激情”，可酌情给2分。]

4.[A][C](4分，每项2分)

我交给你们一个孩子

①小男孩走出大门，返身向四楼阳台上的我招手，说：

②“再见!”

③那是好多年前的事了，那个早晨是他开始上小学的第二天。

④我其实仍然可以像昨天一样，再陪他一次，但我却狠下心来，看他自己单独去了。他有属于他的一生，是我不能相陪的，母子一场，只能看作一把借来的琴弦，能弹多久，但借来的岁月毕竟是有其归还期限的。

⑤他欣然地走出长巷，很听话地既不跑也不跳，一副循规蹈矩的模样。我一个人怔怔地望着巷子下细细的朝阳而落泪。

⑥想大声地告诉全城市，今天早晨，我交给你们一个小男孩，他还不知恐惧为何物，我却是知道的，我开始恐惧自己有没有交错?

⑦我把他交给马路，我要他遵守规矩沿着人行道而行，但是，匆匆的路人啊，你们能够小心一点吗?不要拉倒我的孩子，我把我的至爱交给了纵横的道路，容许我看见他平平安安地回来。

⑧我不曾搬迁户口，我们不要越区就读，我们让孩子读本区内的国民小学而不是某些私立明星小学，我努力去信任自己的教育当局;而且，是以自己的儿女为赌注来信任——但是，学校啊，当我把我的孩子交给你，你保证给他怎样的教育?今天清晨，我交给你一个欢欣、诚实又颖悟的小男骇，多年以后，你将还我一个怎样的青年?

⑨他开始识字，开始读书，当然，他也要读报纸、听音乐或看电视、电影，古往今来的撰述者啊，各种方式的知识传递者啊，我的孩子会因你们得到什么呢?你们将饮之以琼浆，灌之以醍醐，还是哺之以糟粕?他会因而变得正直、忠信，还是学会奸猾、诡诈?当我把我的孩子交出来，当他向这世界求知若渴，世界啊，你给他的会是什么呢?

⑩世界啊，今天早晨，我，一个母亲，向你交出她可爱的小男孩，而你们将还我一个怎样的呢?

14.下列说法不正确的一项是( )。(2分)

A.本文选材以小见大，反映了父母和社会对孩子教育的责任，令人回味无穷。

B.本文多用细腻的心理描写，揭示人物的内心世界。

C.本文开头与结尾前后呼应，这渲染了母亲对孩子成长的焦虑之情。

D.本文在结构上突出的特点是倒叙法的运用，巧设悬念，耐人寻味。

15.文章第⑤段中加点的“欣然”和“循规蹈矩”反映了小男孩当时怎样的心理?(4分)

欣然：

循规蹈矩：

16.文章第⑧段加点的“你”指代什么?为什么要用第二人称“你”?(3分)

17.“我”尽管将孩子交给社会，但仍有许多忧虑。第⑨段主要写了“我”的哪些忧虑?(2分)

18.“你们将饮之以琼浆，灌之以醍醐，还是哺之以糟粕”中“琼浆”“ 醍醐”在文中共同的意思是：(2分)

19.作者将母子关系看作“一把借来的琴弦”，你同意这一说法吗?为什么?(3分)

答案：

14.C

15.欣然：生动表现出孩子第一次独自上学时的新奇、喜悦心情。循规蹈矩：体现出孩子听话及略显胆怯的心理。

16.学校。寄寓了一个母亲对学校对社会的殷切希望。

17.对获得什么样的知识的忧虑。

18.精华(智慧)

19.两种说法均可。同意的理由：孩子最终是要独立生活的，母亲不可能陪伴终身，因而将“母子关系”看做“借来的琴弦”是有道理的，它能够让孩子更早地学会生活。

不同意的理由：不应简单地将“母子关系”看成是“借来的琴弦”，要对孩子的一生负责，不能将孩子一推了之，母亲不应包办，但应随时拨动孩子心灵的琴弦。

我们是一家人

(1)我进中学那年就开始盼望独立，甚至跟母亲提出要在大房间中隔出一方天地，安个门，并在门上贴一张“闲人免进”的纸条。不用说，母亲坚决不同意，她最有力的话就是：我们是一家人。

(2)当时，我在学校的交际圈不小，有位姓毛的圈内女生是个孤女，借居在婶婶家，但不在那儿搭伙，每月拿一笔救济金自己安排。我看她的那种单身生活很洒脱，常在小吃店买吃的，最主要是有一种自己做主的豪气，这正是我最向往的。

(3)也许我叙说这一切时的表情刺痛了母亲的心，她怪我身在福中不知福，我说为何不让我试试呢?见母亲摇头，我很伤心，干脆静坐示威，饿了一顿。母亲那时对我怀了种复杂的情感，她认为我有叛逆倾向，所以也硬下心肠，准备让我碰壁，然后回心转意当个好女儿。当晚，母亲改变初衷，答应让我分伙一个月。我把母亲给我的钱分成30份，有了这个朴素的分配，我想就不会沦为挨饿者。

(4)刚开始那几天，我感觉好极了，买些面包、红肠独自吃着，进餐时还铺上餐巾，捧一本书，就像一个独立的女孩。家人在饭桌上吃饭，不时地看我，有了好菜，母亲也邀我去尝尝，但我一概婉拒。倒不是不领情，而是怕退一步，就会前功尽弃。

(5)我还和姓毛的孤女一起去小吃店，对面而坐。虽吃些简单的面食，但周围都是大人，所以感觉到能和成年人平起平坐，心里还是充满那种自由的快乐。

(6)这样当了半个来月单身贵族后，我忽然发现自己与家人没什么关系了。过去大家总在饭桌上说笑，现在这些欢乐消失了，我仿佛只是个寄宿者。有时，我踏进家门，发现家人在饭桌上面面相觑，心里就会愣一愣，仿佛被抛弃了。

(7)天气忽然冷下来，毛姓孤女患了重感冒，我也传染上了，头昏脑胀，牙还疼个没完没了，出了校门就奔回家。

(8)家人正在灯下聚首，饭桌上是热气腾腾的排骨汤。母亲并不知道我还饿着，只顾忙碌着。这时候，我的泪水掉下来，深深地感觉到与亲人有隔阂、怄气，是何等的凄楚。我翻着书，把书竖起来挡住家人的视线，咬着牙，悄悄地吞食书包里那块隔夜的硬面包，心想：无论如何得挨过这一个月。

(9)可惜，事违人愿，因为一项特殊的事，离一个月还剩三天，身无分文了。我想向那孤女朋友借，但她因为饥一顿，饱一顿，胃出了毛病，都没来学校。我只能向母亲开口借三天伙食费。可她对这一切保持沉默，只顾冷冷地看我。

(10)被母亲拒绝是个周末。早晨我就断了炊，喝了点开水，中午时，感觉双膝发软。那时的周末，中午就放假了，我没有理由不回家，因为在街上闻到食物的香味，更觉得饥肠辘辘。推开房门，不由大吃一惊，母亲没去上班，正一碗一碗地往桌上端菜，家里香气四溢，仿佛要宴请什么贵宾。

(11)母亲在我以往坐的位置上放了一副筷子，示意我可以坐到桌边吃饭。我犹豫着感觉到这样一来就成了可笑的话柄。母亲没有强拉，悄悄地递给我一只面包，说：“你不愿意破例，就吃面包吧，只是别饿坏了。”

(12)我接过面包，手无力地颤抖着，心里涌动着一种酸楚的感觉，不由想起母亲常说我们是一家人，那句话刻骨铭心，永世难忘。

(13)事后我才知道，母亲那天没心思上班，请假在家，要帮助她的孩子走出困境。

(14)当晚，一家人又在灯下共进晚餐，与亲人同心同德，就如沐浴在阳光下，松弛而又温暖。

(15)如今，我早已真正另立门户，可我时常会走很远的路回到母亲身边，一家人围坐在灯下吃一顿，饭菜虽朴素但心中充满温情。就因为我们是一家人，是一家人。

(16)人长大后都是要独立的，可家和家人却是永远的大后方，永远的爱和永远的归宿。

我寻求挫败

①我一直在寻求挫败。

②有人出发去“征山”，我却从来不是，而且刚好相反，我爬山，是为了被山征服。有人飞舟，是为了“凌驾”水，而我不是，如果我去亲近水，我需要的是涓水归川的感受，是自身的消失，是自我复归拉于零的一次冒险。

③记得故事中那个叫“独孤求败”的第一剑侠吗?终其一生，他遇不到一个对手，人间再没有可以挫阻自己高人，天地间再没有可匹敌的力量，真要令人忽忽如狂啊!

④生来有一块通灵宝玉的贾宝玉是幸福的，但更大的幸福却发生在他掷玉的刹那。那时，他初遇黛玉，一见面，彼此惊为旧识，仿佛已相契了万年。他在惊愕中竟把那块玉胡乱砸在地上，那种自我的降服和破碎是动人的，是真爱情最醇美的倾注。

⑤文学史上也不乏这样的例子。陈师曾一遇见黄山谷，就烧掉自己的书稿，虚心去向黄山谷学习。一个人能碰见令自己心折首俯的人，并能一把火烧尽自己的旧作，应该算是和种极幸福的际遇。

⑥《新约》中的先知约翰，一见耶酥，便屈身降志。他对人们说：“我仅仅以水为你们施洗礼，他却以灵为你们施洗礼，我之于他，只能算是一声开道的吆喝声。”《红拂传》里的虬髯客一见李靖，便知天下大势已定，于是飘然远引。那使无数人为之倾倒的大唐盛世的李靖，我多么想见他一眼啊!清朝末年的孙中山也有如此风仪，使四方豪杰甘于俯首授命。生的悲剧原不在头断血流，而在于没有大英雄可以为之赴命，没有大理想供其追求。

⑦我一直在寻求挫败，人生天地间，还有什么比失败更快乐的事?站在千丘万壑的大峡谷前，感到自己渺小得像蝼蚁一样，还有什么时候能如此心甘情愿地卑微下来，享受大化的赫赫天威?曾记得一个夏夜，卧在海滩上，看到满天繁星如雨阵如箭簇，一时几乎惊得昏了过去，感到一种投身在伟大之下的绝望，知道人类永远不能去逼近那百万光年之外的光体。不过，这份绝望使我一想起来就觉兴奋昂扬。试想，宇宙如果像一个窝囊废一样被我们征服了，日子会多么无趣啊!读圣贤书，其理亦然。读一些好书，仿佛看见洞照古今长夜的明灯，听见声彻人世的巨钟，心中自会涌出一份不期然的惊喜，知道我虽遇鲁，天下人间能人正多，这一番心悦诚服，使我几乎要大声宣告说：“多么好!人间竟有这样的人、这样的书!我连死的时候都可以安心了!因为有这样优秀的人，有这样美丽的思想。”此外，在印度见到特瑞沙，在非洲见到史怀哲，或是在美术馆看“八大山人”、石涛，在博物院看周鼎宋瓷，都会兴起一份“我永世不能追摹到这种境界”的激动。这种激动，这种虔诚的服输，是多么难忘的大喜悦啊。

⑧如果问我此生还有什么未了的心愿，那便是不断遇到更令我心折的人，不断探得更勾魂摄魄的美景，好让我能更彻底地败溃，从心底承认自己的卑微和渺小。

1、③④段列举的一反一正两个例子，各说明什么道理?(4分)

2、填空。(3分)

从第⑥段看，大英雄指___、___、___三人。

3、第⑦段画线句子中，“这份绝望”是指什么?作者为什么“兴奋昂扬”?(4分)

4、作者“寻求挫败”的目的是什么?请用文中的句子回答。(5分)

5、本文标题是“我寻求挫败”，但③-⑥段列举了别人的例子，这是否有必要?请说说你的理由。(可以发表不同的见解)(4分)

参考答案：

1、(4分)前例说明没有挫败使人孤独、痛苦;(2分)后一例说明挫败可以带来惊喜、幸福。(2分)(意思对就得分)

2、(3分)耶酥李靖孙中山 (各1分)

3、(4分)(1)“这份绝望”指的是对宇宙的伟大，感到人类永远无法逼近那百万光年之处的光体。(2分)

(2)“兴奋昂扬”是因为意识到人类尽管无法征服自然，达到人生的崇高境界，但也永远不会失去追求和理想。(2分)(第二问答“意识到人类尽管无法达到人生的理想境界，但绝举放弃对理想的追求”，“意识到人类虽然永远不能逼近那百万光年之处的光体，但绝不会放弃对宇宙的探索和认识”，“意识到人们有时无法追摹到某种境界，但会在追求和发现中心悦诚服”也得分。意思到就得分)

4、(5分)不断遇到更令我心折的人，不断更探得勾魂摄魄的美景，(2分)好让我能更彻底的败溃，从心底承认自己的卑微和渺小。(3分)

5、(4分)①有必要。(1分)作者广泛举例，可以证明“寻求挫败”不仅是自己的个人体验，而且具有普遍意义。(3分)

②无必要。(1分)既然写“我”寻求挫败，就应该只写自己的经历和体验。(3分)

③有必要，但略嫌多。(1分)可以删去一点，以突出“我”寻求挫败这一重点。(3分)

篇9：关于12月英语六级阅读理解强化练习题（含答案）

The first way we can approach language is as a phenomenon of the individual person. It is concerned with describing and explaining language as a matter of human behavior. People speak and write; they also evidently read and understand what they hear. They are not born doing so; they have to acquire these skills. Not everybody seems to develop them to the same degree. People may suffer accidents or diseases, which impair their performance. Language is thus seen as part of human psychology, a particular sort of behavior, the behavior, which has as its principal, function that of communication.

The trouble with the term “behavior” is that it is often taken to refer only to more or less overt, and describable, physical movements and acts. Yet part of language behavior-that of understanding spoken or written language, for example-has little or no physically observable signs. It is true we can sometimes infer that understanding has taken place by the changes that take place in the other person’s behavior. When someone has been prohibited from doing something, we may infer that he has understood the prohibition by observing that thereafter he never behaves in that way. We cannot, of course, be absolutely sure that his subsequent behavior is a result of his understanding; it might be due to a loss of interest or inclination. So behavior must be taken to include unobservable activity, often only to be inferred from other observable behavior.

Once we admit that the study of language behavior involves describing and explaining the unobservable, the situation becomes much more complicated, because we have to postulate some set of processes, some internal mechanism, which operates when we speak and understand. We have to postulate something we can call a mind. The study of language from this point of view can then be seen as a study of the specific properties, processes and states of the mind whose outward manifestations are observable behavior; what we have to know in order to perform linguistically.?This approach to language, as a phenomenon of the individual, is thus principally concerned with explaining how we acquire language, and its relation to general human cognitive systems, and with the psychological mechanisms underlying the comprehension and production of speech; much less with the problem of what language is for, that is, its function as communication, since this necessarily involves more than a single individual.

36.What is the best title for this passage?

A) Language as Means of Communication.B) Language and Psychology.

C) Language and the Individual.D) Language as a Social Phenomenon.

37.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A) Language is often regarded as part of human psychology.

B) People develop language skills of different degrees as a result of different personal experiences.

C) Language is a special kind of psychological behavior that is born with an individual.

D) People learn to speak and write through imitation and training.

38.What does the term “behavior” in the second paragraph especially refer to in this passage?

A) It refers to observable and physical movements and acts.

B) It refers to the part of language behavior that involves understanding or interpretation.

C) It refers to both the overt and the unobservable language behaviors in communicating.

D) It refers to acts of speaking and writing.

39.What does “internal mechanism”(Line 3, Para. 3) mean?

A) Secret machine. B) Mental processes.C) Overt system. D) Mechanic operation.

40.What can you infer from the passage?

A) Its individualistic approach to language is meant to study the psychological processes of language acquisition.

B) The individualistic approach to language is mainly concerned with how language functions in society.

C) The study of language is sure to involve more than a single individual.

D) Psychological approach to language is concerned with the comprehension and production of speech.

篇10：12月英语六级阅读理解强化练习题及答案

A strange thing about humans is their capacity for blind rage. Rage is presumably an emotion resulting from survival instinct, but the surprising thing about it is that we do not deploy it against other animals. If we encounter a dangerous wild animal - a poisonous snake or a wild cat - we do not fly into a temper. If we are unarmed, we show fear and attempt to back away; if we are suitably armed, we attack, but in a rational manner not in a rage. We reserve rage for our own species. It is hard to see any survival value in attacking one’s own, but if we take account of the long competition, which must have existed between our own subspecies and others like Neanderthal man - indeed others still more remote from us than Neanderthal man - human rage becomes more comprehensible. ?

In our everyday language and behavior there are many reminders of those early struggles. We are always using the words “us and them”. “Our” side is perpetually trying to do down the “other” side. In games we artificially create other subspecies we can attack. The opposition of “us” and “them” is the touchstone of the two-party system of “democratic” politics. Although there are no very serious consequences to many of these modern psychological representations of the “us and them” emotion, it is as well to remember that the original aim was not to beat the other subspecies in a game but to exterminate it. ?

The readiness with which humans allow themselves to be regimented has permitted large armies to be formed, which, taken together with the “us and them” blind rage, has led to destructive clashes within our subspecies itself. The First World War is an example in which Europe divided itself into two imaginary subspecies. And there is a similar extermination battle now in Northern Ireland. The idea that there is a religious basis for this clash is illusory, for not even the Pope has been able to control it. The clash is much more primitive than the Christian religion, much older in its emotional origin. The conflict in Ireland is unlikely to stop until a greater primitive fear is imposed from outside the community, or until the combatants become exhausted.

31.A suitable title for this passage would be____. ?

A) Why Human Armies Are Formed?B) Man’s Anger Against Rage?

C) The Human Capacity for Rage?D) Early Struggles of Angry Man ?

32.According to the author, the surprising aspect of human anger is____. ?

A) its lengthy and complex development?B) a conflict such as is now going on in Northern Ireland?

C) that we do not fly into a temper more often?D) that we reserve anger for mankind ?

33.The passage suggests that____. ?

A) historically, we have created an “us” versus “them” society

B) humans have had a natural disinclination toward formal grouping

C) the First World War is an example of how man has always avoided domination?

D) the emotional origin of the war in Ireland is lost in time ?

34.From the passage we can infer that ____. ?
