【題目】閱讀下面短文，完成 81至84題。

No one knows when the first kite was made. The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China. Han Xin, the leader of an army, wanted to bring down a king. He decided to dig a tunnel (隧道）into the king’s palace. He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length (長度）of its string (線).In this way, he could① determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with ②them. When they reached the end of the string, they knew to dig up.

Kites have been flown in Japan for hundreds of years. In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year. And kite festivals are held each year in this country.

Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world. In 1752, Benjamin Franklin tied a key to a kite and flew it in a storm to find out that lightening was a form of electricity. In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight. From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau (氣象局） used box kites to collect weather data. The Wright brothers also experimented (試驗）with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了風(fēng)箏的歷史，作用。在中國風(fēng)箏的第一個記錄是2000多年前。它被用于測量隧道的長度。在日本，17世紀(jì)時，秋天放風(fēng)箏以感謝豐收。放風(fēng)箏用于向生了第一個兒子的夫婦致以良好的祝愿。今天，在日本，放風(fēng)箏通常是慶�；顒拥囊徊糠�。風(fēng)箏在西方已經(jīng)被用于科學(xué)目的。本杰明·富蘭克林、勞倫斯·哈格雷夫、美國氣象局以及萊特兄弟用風(fēng)箏做科學(xué)實驗。

【1】題意：請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，猜測①劃線單詞determine的中文意思。根據(jù)上文He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length （長度）of its string （線）．（他放了一只風(fēng)箏越過宮殿的墻壁，以確定風(fēng)箏弦的長度。）句意，可知此句In this way, he could① determine how long the tunnel should be.句意是：用這種方法，他可以測定隧道應(yīng)該有多長�？芍�determine的中文意思是“測定”，選C。

【2】題意：請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，把相關(guān)信息匹配。根據(jù)第一段第二句The first record of a kite was more than 2,000 years ago in China.（風(fēng)箏的第一個記錄是在2000多年前的中國。）可知 (1)和B；根據(jù)第二段最后一句And kite festivals are held each year in this country.（這個國家每年都舉行風(fēng)箏節(jié)。）可知(2)和D；根據(jù)第三段第3句In the 1890s, Lawrence Hargrave invented the box kite to test ideas about flight.（19世紀(jì)90年代，勞倫斯·哈格雷夫發(fā)明了箱式風(fēng)箏，以測試飛行的想法。）可知（3）和C；根據(jù)第三段最后一句What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.（他們學(xué)到的東西幫助他們在1903年進(jìn)行了第一次飛機(jī)飛行。）可知（4）和A。

【3】題意：請將②處them指代內(nèi)容寫在橫線上。take sth with sb. 表示某人隨身攜帶什么東西，sb.和主語是同一個人，with sb. 是一種伴隨狀態(tài)。結(jié)合本句His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them.可知them指代的內(nèi)容是His men in the tunnel。

【4】題意：請從文中找出第三段的主題句。英語說明文中一般第一句是本段的中心句，本句第一句Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world句意：風(fēng)箏在西方已經(jīng)被用于科學(xué)目的。下文舉了本杰明·富蘭克林、勞倫斯·哈格雷夫、美國氣象局以及萊特兄弟用風(fēng)箏做實驗，可知本段主要陳述風(fēng)箏在西方已經(jīng)被用于科學(xué)目的。故第三段的主題句是Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world

【5】題意：請列出在日本放風(fēng)箏的兩個原因。根據(jù)第二段第二句In the 1700s, kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. 、第三句They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. 和第四句Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration, such as the beginning of a new year.可知日本放風(fēng)箏的原因：1）Kites were flown in autumn to give thanks for a good harvest. 2）They were also flown to send good wishes to couples who had their first son. 3）Today in Japan, kites are often flown as part of a celebration.

對于閱讀理解題，首先要粗讀文章了解大意，其次通過細(xì)讀，理解全文。在粗讀的基礎(chǔ)上，仔細(xì)閱讀題后所給的題目，根據(jù)題目要求，再有重點地返回來仔細(xì)閱讀。在閱讀理解的題目中，所設(shè)問題主要有以下幾種方式：找主題或概括文章的中心思想、就文中的具體事實和情節(jié)進(jìn)行提問、根據(jù)文章的表層意思進(jìn)行深層次的推理判斷等，在細(xì)讀時，要根據(jù)設(shè)問的方式，進(jìn)行有側(cè)重地閱讀。1、概括文章中心思想。1)文首呈現(xiàn)主題句。2)文尾出現(xiàn)主題句。3)首尾呼應(yīng)展現(xiàn)主題。4)文中表述主題。前面提出問題，文中的主題由隨之陳述的細(xì)節(jié)或合乎邏輯的引申在文中導(dǎo)出，而后再做進(jìn)一步的解釋。5)文章沒有主題句。在這種情況下，考生要把所有的細(xì)節(jié)綜合起來。進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納出文章的主題句。2.掌握文章的具體事實和重要情節(jié)。在考題中，經(jīng)常會見到就文章中某一具體事實和重要情節(jié)進(jìn)行測試的題目。
