英语阅读理解答案

　　第一篇：

　　In East Africa there is a bribe(部落) of people called the Masai. They are tall and slim(苗条的) and carry long spears to guard their cattle against an attacking lion or leopard(豹). These Africans move from place to place on the rolling(绵延起伏的) grasslands looking for suitable grazing(牧场) and water. Mboto is twelve years old. He helps his father drive the cattle. If the family decides to remain in one spot for a while, he helps gather sticks and thin branches to build a simple house. The sticks are placed in the ground in a circle. They are then bent inwards and joined at the top. Small branches and leaves fill the spaces. If it looks as if the family will stay longer than usual, then the inside walls are often plastered with cattle manure(粪). For a door there is only a small opening to allow a person to enter. A thorn(刺) fence is built around the small house to keep cattle safe at night. Lions, leopards and hyenas prowl(觅食) around after dark. So the cattle would be easily killed and eaten.

　　When Mboto grows up into a man, he will become a true Masai warrior(勇士). He will have to join other warriors in the strange custom of drinking blood. The blood is taken from the neck of one of their cattle. It is mixed with milk and together with meat. It becomes the main food for the men.

　　The Masai have lived this way for thousands of years. The only change that seems to have affected their lives is the use of the transistor(晶体管) radio. It is quite common to see a young warrior with a pair of earphones listening to music while has is with his cattle.

　　A. Hunting B. Fighting against wild animals C. Grazing their cattle D. Building small houses

　　3.It can be learned from the text that______.

　　A. a Masai warrior drinks blood mixed with milk B. Mboto is a strong Masai warrior

　　C. a thorn fence is built to keep the cattle out

　　D. the Masai has nearly a thousand years of history

　　4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

　　A. The Masai wander over the rolling African grasslands.

　　B. A Masai‘s simple house has a small opening as a door to allow a person to enter.

　　C. A Masai‘s simple house is made of branches and strong sticks.

　　D. Modern inventions don‘t affect the Masai‘s lives at all.

　　第二篇：

　　This incident occurred one morning outside Albert Schweizer‘s hospital in the African jungle. A patient had gone fishing in another man‘s boat. The owner of the boat thought he should be given all the fish that were caught. Dr. Schweizer said to the boat owner;

　　―You are right because the other man ought to have asked permission to use your boat. But you are wrong because you are careless and lazy. You merely twisted the chain of your canoe round a palm tree instead of fastening it with a padlock. Of laziness you are guilty because you were asleep in your hut on this moonlit night instead of making use of the good chance for fishing.‖

　　He turned to the patient: ―But you were in the wrong when you took the boat without asking the owner‘s permission. You were in the right because you were not so lazy as he was and you did want to let the moonlit night go by without making some use of it.‖

　　Dr. Schwerzer divided the catch among the fisher-man, the boat owner, and the hospital.

　　1. Dr. Schweizer settled the argument because ______.

　　A. he was the judge there B. it took place at his hospital C. he wanted some of the fish. D. he wanted to help the patient

　　2. The final judgment was the ______.

　　B. the fish should go to the owner of the canoe C. the fish should be destroyed

　　D. everyone involved should get a third of the fish

　　3. The best title for this selection is ______. A. The Argument B. A Wise Man‘s Decision C. The Thief D. Right and wrong

　　第三篇：

　　Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long ‗dark ages‘’in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.

　　However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred/the next thousand/the next million? That‘s much more difficult.

　　When men and women lived by hunting 50000 years ago, how could they have even begun to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters did to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can‘t think of.

　　So why bother(困扰) even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live on because we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuse for us.

　　Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future man may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set your imagination free when you think about the future.

　　1.A particular mention made of Stapledon‘s book in the opening paragraph______.

　　A. serves as a description of human history

　　B. serves as an introduction to the discussion

　　C. shows a disagreement of view

　　D. shows the popularity of the book

　　2.The text discusses men and woman 50000 yeas ago and 50000 years from now in order to show that______.

　　A. human history is extremely long B. life has changed a great deal

　　C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years

　　D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future

　　3.The underlined words in the third paragraph are used in the text to refer to______.

　　A. the tools used in farming B. the ideas about modern life

　　C. the unknown things in the future D. the hunting skills in the Stone Age
