mountains.Schools were canceled,roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.The snow got all over my shoes.The cold wind dried my lips an d my eyes.My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (预想) of the shoveling(铲雪) I would have to do if the snow didn’t stop soon.Yet,when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground,I couldn’t help but smile a bit.It was so beautiful.It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass.In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow (雪犁) on the road,the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside,enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue,building snowmen,making snow angles,running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children.Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore (疼痛的).I turned up my head,stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it.It tasted so fresh and clean.It tasted like youth,like joy and like love.May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body maybe.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children.And may you always give your love,yourlight,your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.4.What was the author’s first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily?A.He was upset.B.He was happy.C.He was thankful.D.He was moved.5.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this

means,in this day and age,that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.Though this would seem to be an ideal solution,there are two big problems associated with taking pictures.Firstly,we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place.And secondly,because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones,we never get around to looking at them,so sure are we thatwe’ll get around to them one day.The first person to notice the problems was an English art critic (评论家),John Ruskin.He was a keen traveller who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see.He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it,but there are better and worse expressions of this desire.At worst,we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs.But,in Ruskin’s eyes,there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see,regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said,“Drawing can teach us to see,to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly.In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists,especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train,“No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger,happier,or wiser.There was always more in the world than men could see,if they ever walkedslowly;they will see it no better for going fast.The really precious things are thoughts and sights,not pace.”7.According to Paragraph 2,when taking pictures,people tend to.A.forget to appreciate something attractive on the spotB.find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesC.find a good way to keep things in their mindsD.have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology8.According to Ruskin,what should travellers do to best express their appreciation and desire for something beautiful?A.To speak it out openly.B.To photograph it instantly.C.To purchase it directl y.D.To paint it immediately.9.From the fourth paragraph,we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be.A.considerate and determinedB.active and adventurousC.creative and thoughtfulD.sensitive and ambitious10.The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is cl osest in meaning to “”.A.appreciatedB.criticizedC.favouredD.ignored〚导学号44994022〛参考答案阅读理解提升练(八) 词义猜测题A【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文.文章主要介绍了南非博茨瓦纳的三个值得旅游的地方.1.B 主旨大意题.文章的第一段就点出了主题,之后介绍了南非的博茨瓦纳的非常值得旅游的三个地方,故选B项.2.C
