Question

【題目】 Kites have a long history. They may date back（追溯到）long time ago. They were made of bamboo and silk in China. Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown, but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string（繩子）to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born.

Children like playing with kites. Kites for work or play are made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk. In 478 BC, a Chinese philosopher（思想家）, Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo. The earliest record（記錄）of kite flying was in about 200 BC when the Chinese General Han Xin of Han Dynasty flew a kite over the walls of a city. He wanted to know how far his army would have to travel.

In the 13th century, Marco Polo wrote about how the shipping businessmen flew the huge kite in the wind before the ship set sail（起航）. It predicted the voyage（航海）in this way. If the kite went high and starlight, it meant a quick and successful ride, but if it didn't fly well, it was a bad omen（預(yù)兆）. In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians. Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589.

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了風箏的歷史，以及風箏是由什么制成的。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“but it is said that when a Chinese farmer tied a string to his hat to keep it from blowing away in a strong wind, the first kite was born”，可知是一位中國農(nóng)民在帽子上系上一根繩子以防它在強風中被吹走，故而誕生了第一只風箏，故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“Kites for work or play are made of wood, bamboo, paper, or silk”，可知風箏是可由木頭、竹子、紙張或絲綢制成，故選C。

【3】判斷正誤題。根據(jù)“Nobody knows exactly how or when a kite was first flown”，可知沒有人確切知道第一只風箏是何時、如何制成的，A選項表述錯誤，排除；根據(jù)“In 478 BC, a Chinese philosopher, Mo Zi, spent three years making a kite out of light wood and bamboo”，可知墨子是用竹子制成風箏，而不是紙張，C選項表述錯誤，排除；根據(jù)“Kite flying was first mentioned in England in a popular book in 1589”，可知風箏在1589年首次在英國一本暢銷書中被提及，B選項表述正確，故選B。

【4】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians”，可知風箏首次被引入歐洲是在16世紀，故選B。

【5】最佳標題。通讀全文，可知文章主要介紹了風箏的歷史，故選A。

閱讀理解一般考查學生的細節(jié)理解能力、主旨理解能力和推理判斷能力。做閱讀理解題，首先要準確理解題意，然后根據(jù)題意和短文內(nèi)容選出正確的答案。如題4，考查細節(jié)理解能力，此類型題較簡單，準確理解題意后，直接到文中找出答案，根據(jù)“In the late 1500s, the kite was introduced to Europe by the Italians”，可知風箏首次被引入歐洲是在16世紀，故選B。
