Question

【題目】 Do you know any 9-year-olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History.”The museum was in Theodore's bedroom.It had a total of 12 specimens.On display were a few seashells, some dead insects,and some birds' nests.Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.

Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly boy”, he once wrote.Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma.He often found it hard to breathe. Instead of playing, he watched nature and then read and wrote about it.

Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble.Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox.She demanded that the mice be thrown out.This was indeed a loss to science?, Roosevelt said later.

Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak.When he was about 12, his father asked him to improve his body.Roosevelt began working out in a gym.He didn't become strong quickly.But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong will.That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life.And eventually his body did get strong.As an adult, he was an active and healthy person.He enjoyed adventures, and he loved the outdoors.

A toy company named the teddy bear for Theodore “Teddy”.After knowing that ,Roosevelt refused to shoot a baby bear while hunting.

In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President.A year later,President McKinley, was shot and killed.Roosevelt became our 26th President.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.

【解析】

文章大意：本文講述的是曾任美國總統(tǒng)的西奧羅斯福小時候的故事。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第一段大意來看，主要講述Roosevelt Museum of Natural History的情況。故答案為A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中He often found it hard to breathe他經(jīng)常發(fā)現(xiàn)呼吸很困難。Instead of playing, he watched nature and then read and wrote about it不能玩，他就觀察自然，然后讀寫關(guān)于自然。有以上可知羅斯福經(jīng)常生病但意志堅強(qiáng)。故答案為B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文中提到When he was about 12, his father asked him to improve his body.Roosevelt began working out in a gym.當(dāng)他12歲時，他父親敦促他讓他強(qiáng)身健體，后來他就去了健身房鍛煉。由此可知他遵從了父親的建議。故答案為B，

【4】推理判斷題。文中最后一段中.Roosevelt became our 26th President.羅斯福成為美國的第26屆總統(tǒng)，前文提到的都是羅斯福小時候的事，由此推斷此篇文章來源于美國總統(tǒng)介紹類的書。故答案為C。
