A young girl called Ida in Sweden decided to travel to a place she hadn't seen for 22 years. She had a happy life until some kids asked, "Why don't you look like your mom?" Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea, except for some information she recently heard about her birthparents.

During her schooldays, she was often questioned about her looks. Ida considered herself a normal Swedish person. She tried to be part of the group in her school, but she found it hard. She was still seen as an outsider.

    As she grew older, she accepted(接受)who she  was. Still, she

wanted to find the missing piece of the puzzle (困惑). After finding out the place of her birthparents, Ida went to Korea in 2008. When she first arrived, she was surprised to see so many people who looked like her. However, apart from her looks, not much could be shared (分享) with others. She knew little about the culture, food, especially the language. Being in Korea wasn't always easy for her.

Perhaps Ida can never truly fit in either culture, but it's worth visiting her birthplace because she finally realized how special and different she is. She has two loving families, and most of all a better understanding of who she is. This helps her to have a positive view of her life.

1. Where was Ida born?

A. In Japan. B. In Sweden. C. In England.        D. In Korea.

2.Why was she seen as an outsider in Sweden?

A. Because of the culture. B. Because of her looks.

C. Because of the food. D. Because of the language.

3.What does the phrase "apart from" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. except B. as for C. as well as D. besides

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Ida hadn't seen her birthparents for at least 22 years.

B. Ida found it easy for her to get used to living in Korea.

C. Ida still couldn't accept who she was after she went back to Sweden.

D. Ida realized she can't live a happy life either in Sweden or in Korea.

 

【答案】

 

1.D

2.B

3.A

4.A

【解析】【主旨大意】文章介紹了出生與韓國(guó)，生長(zhǎng)在瑞典的女孩Ida，由于長(zhǎng)相不一樣，很難與其他同學(xué)融為一體。于是踏上了尋親路，由于在異國(guó)生活了22年，她同樣面臨困境。擁有兩個(gè)愛(ài)她的家是她是她積極面對(duì)生活的最大資本。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 由第一段“Ida was sent to her adopted(收養(yǎng)) family in Sweden right after she was born. She really didn't know anything about her birthplace, Korea,”“出生后Ida被送往她瑞士的收養(yǎng)家庭，”對(duì)于她的出生地韓國(guó)她什么都不知道。”

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 有文章第二段可知由于經(jīng)常被質(zhì)問(wèn)長(zhǎng)相，她自己也把自己當(dāng)做普通的瑞典人，并想融入學(xué)校，但很難。

3.推理判斷題 由于在瑞典生活了22 年，除了長(zhǎng)相與韓國(guó)人相似外，別的她都不能與韓國(guó)人共享。因此此處的apart from 是except的意思。

4.整體理解題通讀文章可知，結(jié)合文章第一句可知答案為A。

A young girl sits at her desk, reviewing her homework for the evening. English: Read three chapters and write a report. Math: Complete 30 problems. Science: Do a worksheet, front and back. French: (A) Study new words for tomorrow’s test. It’s going to be a long night.

This happens to students in America. Now it’s time to start a homework revolution(變革).

Do students in the United States receive too much homework? According to the National Education Association, a student should be assigned (布置) no more than 10 minutes per grade level per night. For example, a first grader should only have 10 minutes of homework, a (B)  grader, 20 minutes, and so on. This means that a student in my grade—seventh—should have no more than 70 minutes of work (C) each night. Yet this is often doubled, sometimes even worse!

It’s no good giving students too much homework. According to research, kids are developing more illness at school, such as stomachaches, headaches and sleep problems than before.

Everybody (D)  that teachers are the ones who assign homework, but they are not the only ones to blame (受責(zé)備). “Many teachers are under greater pressure (壓力) than ever before,” says Kylene Beers, President of the National Council for teachers of English, “Some of  (E) it comes from parents, some from the wish for high scores on tests.” Teachers who are under pressure feel the need to assign more homework.

Some people have different ideas, saying that homework prepares kids for doing better in high school, better in college, and (F) 今后找到更好的工作. But too much homework is sapping students’ strength, curiosity（削弱學(xué)生的個(gè)性和好奇心), and most importantly, their love of learning, is that really what teachers and parents want?

1.寫(xiě)出文中劃線(xiàn)部分（A）和（C）的同義詞或近義詞:                          

2.在文中（B）和（D）的空白處分別填入適當(dāng)單詞:                          

3.文中劃線(xiàn)部分（E）指代的是:               

4.將文中劃線(xiàn)部分（F）譯成漢語(yǔ):             

5.從文中找出能說(shuō)明本文主旨大意的中心詞:

Jean is a young girl who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has almost everything that money can buy. The problem is that Jean’s family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. Jean is quite lonely (孤獨(dú)的). So she spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名的), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends.

Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself. He was a tall, good-looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.

When Jean’s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him. She wanted to give David a surprise for his birthday.
