Question

【題目】閱讀下面短文，按要求完成各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。

①No 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(隊(duì)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 could ②determine how long the tunnel should be. His men in the tunnel took the kite string with them. 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 many parts of the 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(yàn)) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】沒人知道第一架風(fēng)箏制作于何時。

【2】 B D C A

【3】C

【4】Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world.

【5】From 1898.

【解析】

本文主要介紹風(fēng)箏的歷史和世界各國的人們利用風(fēng)箏所做的一些科研成果以及如今許多地方的人們都舉行風(fēng)箏節(jié)。

【1】no one是沒有人，know是知道，when是什么時候，first是第一，kite是風(fēng)箏，make是制作，was made是被制作，所以綜合之后，這句話應(yīng)該翻譯為：沒有人知道第一個風(fēng)箏是什么時候制作的。

【2】（1）根據(jù)文中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�？芍�，本題選擇B。（2）根據(jù)文中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 many parts of the country.如今在日本，風(fēng)箏經(jīng)常作為慶�；顒拥囊徊糠�，例如新年的開始。風(fēng)箏節(jié)每年在全國許多地方舉行。可知，風(fēng)箏節(jié)每年都在日本舉行，所以選擇D。（3）根據(jù)文中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(Lawrence Hargrave)發(fā)明了箱形風(fēng)箏(box kite)，以測試飛行理念。可知，本題選擇C。（4）根據(jù)文中The Wright brothers also experimented(試驗(yàn)) with kites. What they learnt helped them make the first airplane flight in 1903.萊特兄弟也嘗試(試驗(yàn))和風(fēng)箏。他們所學(xué)的知識幫助他們在1903年制造了第一架飛機(jī)�？芍�，本題選擇A。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文中He flew a kite over the wall of the palace to make sure the length(長度) of its string(線).他把風(fēng)箏放飛到宮殿的墻上，以確定風(fēng)箏線的長度。可知他是在測量風(fēng)箏線的長度，所以下文中就是用這個方式來測量隧道的長度，所以選擇C。

【4】段意歸納題。第四段主要講的是世界各地的科學(xué)家們依據(jù)風(fēng)箏做的一些科研項(xiàng)目以及做出的一些成果，所以本段大意應(yīng)該填Kites have been used for scientific purposes in the western world.

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中From 1898 until 1933, the United States Weather Bureau(氣象局) used box kites to collect weather data.從1898年到1933年，美國氣象局使用箱形風(fēng)箏來收集天氣數(shù)據(jù)�？芍�，是從1898年開始使用的，所以應(yīng)該填From 1898。
