1、專(zhuān)題限時(shí)訓(xùn)練(二十)文化教育型閱讀理解(二)(限時(shí)：25分鐘)(一)Human remains of ancient settlements will be reburied and lost to science under a law that threatens research into the history of humans in Britain, a group of leading archeologists (考古學(xué)家) say. In a letter addressed to the justice secretary, Ken Clarke, 40 archaeolo
2、gists write of their “deep and widespread concern” about the issue. It centres on the law introduced by the Ministry of Justice in 2008 which requires all human remains unearthed in England and Wales to be reburied within two years, regardless of their age. The decision means scientists have too lit
3、tle time to study bones and other human remains of national and cultural significance.“Your current requirement that all archaeologically unearthed human remains should be reburied, whether after a standard period of two years or a further special extension, is contrary to basic principles of archae
4、ological and scientific research and of museum practice，” they write.The law applies to any pieces of bone uncovered at around 400 dig sites, including the remains of bodies found at Stonehenge in 2008 that date back to 3，000 BC.Archaeologists have been granted a temporary extension to give them mor
5、e time, but eventually the bones will have to be returned to the ground.The arrangements may result in the waste of future discoveries at sites such as Happisburgh in Norfolk, where digging is continuing after the discovery of stone tools made by early humans 950，000 years ago. If human remains were
6、 found at Happisburgh, they would be the oldest in northern Europe and the first indication of what this species was. Under the current practice of the law, those remains would have to be reburied and effectively destroyed.Before 2008, guidelines allowed for the proper preservation and study of bone
7、s of sufficient age and historical interest, while the Burial Act 1857 applied to more recent remains. The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary, but has so far failed to revise it.Mike Parker Pearson, an archaeologist at Sheffield University, said, “Arc
8、haeologists have been extremely patient because we were led to believe the ministry was sorting out this problem, but we feel that we cannot wait any longer.”The ministry has no guidelines on where or how remains should be reburied, or on what records should be kept.1According to the passage, scient
9、ists are unhappy with the law mainly because _Ait is only a temporary measure on the human remainsBit is unreasonable and thus destructive to scientific researchCit was introduced by the government without their knowledgeDit is vague about where and how to rebury human remains2Which of the following
10、 statements is TRUE according to the passage?ATemporary extension of two years will guarantee scientists enough time.BHuman remains of the oldest species were dug out at Happisburgh.CHuman remains will have to be reburied despite the extension of time.DScientists have been warned that the law can ha

12、as not done enough about the law.4Which of the following might be the main idea of the passage?ANew discoveries should be reburied, the government demands.BResearch time should be extended, scientists require.CLaw on human remains needs thorough discussion, authorities say.DLaw could bury ancient se
13、crets forever, archeologists warn.(二)Looking for some inspiration or ideas for your creative stories? To start with, some writers describe winter by using their five senses or their imagination. Others write on their favourite winter activities. Whatever you choose to write about, working on a winte
14、r story can always help to improve your writing skills. Now read the following story and see if it helps get rid of any icy writing block youve been struggling with.Beep, beep. Beepbeep: the alarm clock rang. Slowly, I got out of warm bed down onto the wooden floor which the winter had thrown its co
15、ld upon. The bitter cold temperature penetrated (穿透)my socks and I hurried to put my feet in shoes.Looking out of the window, I watched the white snow, soft and thick, drop onto rooftops and trees. Half an hour later, finishing the last of my hot chocolate, I prepared to enter the adventure that wai
16、ted for me outside. I buttoned my jacket and fastened my boots. Hat on, I opened the door and was greeted by the winter coldness.In the depths of winter, the early morning did not have the rush of the rest of the year. Most of my neighbours were put off by the cold, and stayed in bed until the sun h
17、ad climbed higher into the sky.Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes, warm in their beds, I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime. Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snowscapes, ice crystals, frost and the crisp(清新的)breeze. For them, the coming of winter mea
18、nt just the arrival of the cold.Appreciation depends on contrasts. One cannot love the warmth of April if one has not known the freezing cold of winter. Later that year, the heat of the sun on my skin would be wonderful for my memories of that cold morning and others like it.1The underlined word “ad
19、venture” refers to“_”Agetting out of bed on the cold winter morningBenjoying the loveliness of the winter outdoorsCgoing skiing on the cold winter morningDthrowing snowballs with friends2According to the story, most of the neighbours _Adidnt work in winterBstayed up late in winterCmissed the beauty

22、uty of winter.(三)Recently, a student used his Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) to film a female teacher scolding and tearing the work of a classmate. The public discussion that the incident caused started on the Internet. However, when it came to the medias attention, it quickly became a major topic
23、 in the education circles. The reactions so far suggest that the focus of the debate has been on one question: whom to blame?Teachers who are anxious to defend their professional dignity have tried to put the blame on the students. They mentioned their right to privacy(隱私)and for this reason they re
24、quested the Ministry of Education (MOE) to prohibit PDAs in schools. On the other hand, some parents and students have taken a different position. They feel that the teacher is also at fault. Caught up in the war of words between both sides, people are no longer interested in the “truth” of the matt
25、er which seems now unimportant. It was left to newspapers to discover the central point of the controversial issue, by stressing the problems that are not always easily noticed in our educational system.For those responsible for educating the young, this PDA incident conveys the message that “times
26、have changed”，a reality that must have been felt even more strongly by the female teacher when reflecting on this unpleasant experience. Different times call for different professional approaches in education. The ability to understand the students they are teaching has always been the quality of su
27、ccessful teachers. Despite some factors, the incident shows that the teacher lacks good qualities on her part. Besides, the rules under current system to deal with recalcitrant students need to be improved. Also, it is an example which shows the issue we are familiar with: what to do with new techno
28、logy? With PDAs, the new technology, the interaction (交流)between the teachers and students in classroom has been changed.1The authors purpose in writing this passage is to_.Aimprove the teachers way of teachingBstress the using of PDAs in the classroomCchange the students behaviour in the classroomD
29、discuss the potential problems of educational system2The underlined word “recalcitrant” in Paragraph 3 probably means“_”Adifficult to controlBinterested in nothingCunwilling to learnDready to obey rules3The writers attitude towards the PDA incident is_.Aoptimistic BcriticalCuncertain Dapprovable4Wha

31、去的。3D推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段最后一句話(huà)“The Ministry of Justice assured archaeologists two years ago that the law was temporary，but has so far failed to revise it.”可知，盡管The Ministry of Justice兩年前向考古學(xué)家保證這項(xiàng)法律是暫時(shí)的，但是他們到現(xiàn)在還是沒(méi)能修改這項(xiàng)法律，所以他們的工作做得不到位。4D主旨大意題。這項(xiàng)法律的危害在第四段有詳細(xì)陳述，對(duì)于這項(xiàng)法律，反對(duì)的是考古學(xué)家們，所以他們才是呼吁修改法律的主要對(duì)象，這樣可以排除其他三項(xiàng)。(二)
32、【要點(diǎn)綜述】本文通過(guò)一篇短文教我們?nèi)绾螌?xiě)和冬天有關(guān)的文章。1B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。短文的第五段“Unseen by those who remained locked inside their homes，warm in their beds，I enjoyed being alone with the beauty of the wintertime.”說(shuō)明這里的adventure就是指在寒冷的天氣里獨(dú)自到室外活動(dòng)。故B正確。2C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第五段“Those indoors were unable to appreciate the snowscapes，ice crystals，fros
33、t and the crisp(清新的)breeze.For them，the coming of winter meant just the arrival of the cold.”可知，很多人都錯(cuò)過(guò)了冬天的美景。故C正確。3C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章最后一段說(shuō)明C正確。4B推理判斷題。文章第一段“Whatever you choose to write about，working on a winter story can always help to improve your writing skills.Now read the following story and see if it h
34、elps get rid of any icy writing block youve been struggling with.”說(shuō)明這篇小短文是告訴我們?nèi)绾螌?xiě)與冬天有關(guān)的作品。故B正確。(三)【要點(diǎn)綜述】本文就一段由學(xué)生用PDA錄制的視頻展開(kāi)討論。在科技迅速發(fā)展的今天，應(yīng)該責(zé)備學(xué)生侵犯了老師的個(gè)人隱私，還是整個(gè)教育系統(tǒng)的教育模式應(yīng)該做出適應(yīng)科技發(fā)展的改革？1D作者意圖題。根據(jù)文章可知作者意在討論教育體系的潛在問(wèn)題。故選D項(xiàng)。2A詞義猜測(cè)題。由第三段中“Besides，the rules under current system to deal with recalcitrant stude
35、nts need to be improved.”的關(guān)鍵詞rules 和to deal with 可知，規(guī)則要針對(duì)的必然是難管理的學(xué)生。故選A項(xiàng)。3B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Despite some factors，the incident shows that the teacher lacks good qualities on her part.Besides，the rules under current system to deal with recalcitrant students need to be improved.”可以判斷出，作者對(duì)整個(gè)事件持批判態(tài)度。故選B項(xiàng)。4A主旨大意題。文章以PDA事件為引子，探討現(xiàn)行教育存在的問(wèn)題，及誰(shuí)該對(duì)此問(wèn)題負(fù)責(zé)。故選A項(xiàng)。
