Ⅵ.阅读理解
A team of scientists proved that seals (海豹) had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds.
The seals always began snapping (猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded.
It was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance (相当远的距离) away, could make these sea animals respond (起反应). That should make the fishermen who make much noise while working, or talk loudly, start thinking.
The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food, two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded. They were given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds.
1．To those seals a strong signal meant ________.
A．snapping
B．nothing
C．food
D．a light tap
答案：C 每当信号强烈时，海豹就开始猛咬，这就意味着它们有食物吃了。
2．The article doesn't say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think ________.
A．seals have no sense of hearing
B．seals have good sense of hearing
C．seals can only recognize bell sounds
D．seals can not hear soft and long distant sounds
答案：D 文中提到海豹对微弱的声音，甚至是对远离的微弱声音都能敏捷地作出反应。而渔夫们工作时却大声喧哗，这是因为他们孤陋寡闻而对海豹产生的错误认识。
3．Light taps were given to those who ________.
A．expected food
B．came for food
C．made mistakes
D．recognized the sounds
答案：C 在驯化海豹的过程中，科学家们轻轻拍打一下那些犯错误的海豹，帮助它们识别声音。
4．Which title will be the best to suit the article?
A．Clever Seals
B．Smart Learners
C．An Underwater School
D．An Unknown School
答案：C A、B两项仅仅涉及海豹，而没有体现出科学家驯化海豹的目的。D项没能反映出文章的主题。An Underwater School这一标题新颖，主题鲜明、突出。故选C。

Watercolor is the oldest paints known. It dates back to the early cavemen who discovered they could add lifelike qualities to drawings of animals and other figures on the walls of caves by mixing the natural colors found in the earth with water.
Fresco(湿壁画), one of the greatest of all art forms, is done with watercolor. It is created by mixing paints and water and applying these to wet plaster(灰泥). Of the thousands of people who stand under Michelangelo's heroic ceiling in the Sistine Chapel, very few know that they are looking at perhaps the greatest watercolor painting in the world.
The invention of oil painting by the Flemish masters in the fifteenth century made fresco painting go downhill, and for the next several centuries watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches(草图)or as a tool for study. It was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that English painters put back watercolor as a serious art form. The English have a widely-known love for outdoors and also small private pictures. The softness of watercolor had a remarkably strong attraction for them.
The popularity of watercolor continued to grow until the twentieth century. The United States passed England as the center for watercolor, producing such well-known watercolor artists as Thomas Eakins and Andrew Wyeth.
1．The purpose of the passage is to introduce________.
A．the gradual weakness of fresco painting
B．oils' power or influence over watercolor
C．the discovery of water color in English
D．the start and development of watercolor
答案：D
2．In the 16th and 17th centuries the artists thought________.
A．watercolor was softer, and thus better
B．oil painting lasted longer, and was better
C．watercolor wasn't fit for finished works
D．watercolor was too hard to use in any works
答案：C 推理判断题。由第三段．..watercolor was used mainly for doing sketches or as a tool for study.可知。
3．According to the passage, watercolor painting was put back in England because________.
A．is was easy to use outdoors
B．it was a strong medium
C．it was extremely bright in color
D．is was suitable to popular tastes
答案：D
4．What would the next paragraph most probably deal with?
A．The works of famous US watercolor artists

D．Techniques of producing watercolor

Scotland's first Confucius classroom was officially opened recently. The Confucius classroom at St George's school was opened by the Lord Provost and will be used as a center for pupils studying Chinese language and culture.
When opening the classroom, the Lord Provost said, “Learning about Chinese culture is very important for young people today to understand the connection between their lives and the lives of others throughout the world.”
Marilyne MacLaren, one of the officials said, “It is necessary for young people growing up in the 21st century to be educated about other major players in the world affairs. The new program started in Scotland will provide an excellent chance for more school pupils in Scotland to learn Chinese language, which is fast becoming an international language.”
St George's school Head Teacher Judith McCure said, “We are glad to be working with other Scotland schools on this important program. International education is of great importance for today's global development and the Confucius classroom will give pupils the chance to work together to experience the richness of Chinese language and culture. It will be a lively place for learning and will allow teachers to share resources(资源)and practice together.”
The first schools to benefit from this program will be St George's and six other high schools.
The Confucius classroom is funded(资助)by the Chinese government and will also be supported by the network of Confucius Classroom Hubs in Scotland.
5．The following statements are true EXCEPT________.
A．the Confucius classroom in Scotland was funded by the Chinese government
B．the opening of the Confucius classrooms can make pupils learn Chinese language and culture
C．International education is very important for the global development
D．the first Confucius classroom in Scotland will benefit six schools including St George's
答案：D 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“第一批受益的学校是圣·乔治中学和另外六所中学，可知D项表述不正确，符合题意。根据最后一段，孔子课堂是由中国政府资助的，所以A项表述正确；根据第一段、第二段和第四段可知，孔子学校的开办给了学生一个学习汉语和了解中国文化的机会，因此B项表述正确；根据倒数第三段，国际教育对于全球发展很重要，所以C项表述正确。”
6．What does Marilyne MacLaren mean by mentioning“other major players”in the third paragraph?
A．athletes in sports competitions
B．people who do nothing but play
C．countries which play important parts in international affairs
D．people who act in plays
答案：C
7．According to Judith McCure, the opening of the Confucius classroom will________.
A．let British students work with Chinese students
B．not be connected with global development
C．improve the friendship between Chinese schools and Scotland schools
D．benefit both teachers and students
答案：D 考查推理判断。根据第四段最后两句可以知道孔子课堂的开办给老师和学生机会合作与共享，对他们都有益，因此D项正确。根据第四段第二句，英国学生们合作学习体验汉语和中国文化，而不是与中国学生合作，所以A项不正确；另外第四段第二句告诉读者，国际教育对于全球发展至关重要，因此B项表述不正确；根据第四段第一句可以知道圣·乔治中学很乐意与苏格兰其他的中学成为合作伙伴，所以C项不正确。
