vermont, worked many months to get helios ready for the 1999 american tour de sol(sol is the latin word for sun). they named their car after helios, the sun god in greek mythology(神話) . the 4-year-old tour de sol encourages the use of green, or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. its not a race. cars are judged on fuel efficiency (耗油量) rather than speed. in the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from waterbury, connecticut, to lake george, new york. of the 23 student cars, helios was the on- ly one built by middle school students. a teacher drove helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road that was my favor- ite part. says anna browne, 15. we explained how the car runs. due in part to old, inefficient

years, the white explorers (探險者) began fight with the indians or their land. some nez perce chiefs signed agreements with the u. s. government, selling part of their lands. but the government always broke those a- greements and demanded more land.other chiefs refused to go along with the governments plans. the most famous was chief joseph, whose people lived in the wallowa valley (present-day oregon). in order to have all people understand how much land we owned, he once explained, my father planted poles around it and said. inside is the home of my people . it circl ed aroundthe graves (墳?zāi)? of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. but in 1874, the u. s. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the nez perce onto a res- ervation(保留地). seeing that resistance was useless. chief jo seph agreed to move.later, fighting broke out between the nez perce and u. s. soldiers. chief joseph tried to lead his people to canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. but finally, he was forced to give in. 1. which historic site (on the map) lies in the south of todays nez perce reservation? a. buffalo eddy. b. dug bar. c. joseph canyon viewpoint. d. chief looking glass camp. 答案: d 指導(dǎo)：此題為識圖題。首先要審清題目，注意題干中的關(guān)鍵詞historic site，in the south，然后再觀察地圖及圖例，很容易判斷d項為正確答案。2. what can we learn about the nez perce lands from the map? a. they were in the state of oregon. b. they have become a historic site c. they have become much smaller. d. they were limited to the wallowa valley. 答案: c 指導(dǎo)：根據(jù)地圖中圖例部分第一項、第二項，可以看出1855年nez perce lands的范圍比當今nez perce reservation的范圍要大得多。由此可判斷c項為正確答案。3. from paragraph 3, we know that the indians wanted to_. a. show oft their land b. keep their land c. turn their place into a graveyard d. build their homes around the poles答案: b 指導(dǎo)：本段引述了nezperce人的某一頭領(lǐng)joseph的話，他說到，“為了讓所有的人明白我們過去擁有多少土地，我父親在領(lǐng)地周圍種了些植物作為標志，并且說標志里就是我們的家園”由此可以看出那些印第安人的目的就是要維護自己的土地。 the flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. with a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.the national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. it is, rather, the product of thousands of years development. historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. the connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (圖騰) before carrying them into battle. they believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.these flags developed very slowly into modern flags. the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. the king of china around 1000 b.c. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.41. the best title for the passage would be “_”.a. development of the national flagb. power of the national flagc. types of flagsd. uses of flags【答案】a【解析】標題歸納題?！癷t is, rather, the product of thousands of years development.”說明國旗是幾千年發(fā)展的產(chǎn)物。而且整片文章從旗幟最初用于表示風(fēng)向，一直講到它演變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)代的旗幟。所以本文說的是國旗的發(fā)展。故選a。42. the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 means _.a. impossible to make sure ofb. likely to be protectedc. easy to be damagedd. difficult to find【答案】c【解析】詞義猜測題。本段第一句“early human beings used very fragile houses and boats.”說早期人類使用非常易壞的的房屋和船只。而本句 “peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable.” 中“similarly”意為“同樣地”，所以vulnerable”也表示“易損壞”。故選c。43. the earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because _.a. they could tell direction b. they could bring good luck to ancient fightersc. they were handed down by the ancestorsd. they were believed to stand for natural forces【答案】d【解析】細節(jié)理解題。本段第一句“using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods,”“用一塊布系到標桿頂部來判斷風(fēng)向比早期的辦法更可靠。”因此，最早的旗幟與天的力量有關(guān)。故選d。44. what does the author know of the first national flag?a. he knows when it was sent to europe.b. he believes it was made in egypt.c. he thinks it came from china.d. he doubts where it started.【答案】d【解析】細節(jié)理解題。最后一段“the first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked.?！闭f明第一個國家的旗幟未被標明，所以作者不知道第一面國旗是從哪兒誕生的。45. what will the author most probably talk about next?a. the role of china in the spread of the national flag.b. the second ancestor of the national flag.c. the use of modern flags in europe.d. the importance of modern flags.【答案】b【解析】推理判斷題。結(jié)尾處“this practice might have been learned from egyptians even further in the past, but it was from china that it spread over trade routes through india, then across arab lands, and finally to europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.”說明中國國王樹立旗幟的做法遍及到了貿(mào)易行路，通過印度，穿過阿拉伯大陸，最終到達歐洲。在那與另一個國旗的原型結(jié)合。所以，接下來最可能討論的是過國旗的第二個始祖。故選b。閱讀理解主旨大意passage* (典型題) whoever has made a voyage up the hudson river must remember the catskill mountains. they are a branch of the great appalachian family, and can be seen to the west rising up to a noble height and towering over the surrounding country. when the weather is fair and settled, they are clothed in blue and purple, and print their beautiful shapes on the clear evening sky, but sometimes when it is cloudless, gray steam gathers around the top of the mountains which, in the last rays of the setting sun, will shine and light up like a crown of glory(華麗的皇冠). at the foot of these mountains, a traveler may see light smoke going up from a village, in that village, and in one of the houses (which, to tell the exact truth, was sadly timeworn and weather-beaten), there lived many years ago, a simple, good-natured fellow by the name of rip van winkle. rips great weakness was a natural dislike of all kinds of money-making labor. it could not be from lack of diligence (勤勞) ,for he could sit all day on a wet rock and fish without say- lng a word, even though he was not encouraged by a single bite. he would carry a gun on his shoulder for hours, walking through woods and fields to shoot a few birds or squirrels. he would never refuse to help a neighbor, even in the roughest work. the women of the village, too, used to employ him to do such little jobs as their less helpful husbands would not do for them. in a word.
