To appreciate(欣赏) her character(性格), you must of course start at the beginning of the book and know her unhappy childhood and the crisis(危机) that drove her from her unfeeling(无情的，冷酷的) aunt; know her years at Lowood School and the nature of that school; know her love for Miss Temple who departed and for Helen Burns who died. You will then better understand what lay behind Jane‟s outlook(观点) and strength of mind(性格).With two such unusual characters and with some strange secret in the heart of the story, you will realize what possibilities are contained(包含) in Jane Eyre.Another book about early nineteenth century life that will attract many girls is Cranford by Mrs. Gaskell. It is a series of(一系列)sketches(素描)(with something of a story running through them) about the society —the feminine (女性的) society —of a Cheshire village. Their life is described with a mixture(混合) of quiet humor and a delicate(微妙的)sentiment(多愁善感) and with, indeed, deeper feelings openly displayed as well(也). The story is told by a girl named Mary Smith and it centers upon(将…当做中心) Miss Matty —Miss Matilda Jenkyns —an elderly, single lady whose character is one of simple goodness. Other characters are her ladies who form “society”in the village. Cranford has been called “a grown-up fairy tale”and, gentle though it may be, it‟s one of the notable(著名的) books about early Victorian England.习题解析1.

It is implied in the passage that ________. 【推理题】10. What‟s the main idea of the passage?【主旨题】篇章解析Nutritional (营养的) status affects children‟s behavior. Well-nourished(营养良好的)children are more alert(警惕的，警觉的)and attentive(专心的)and are better able to benefit from physical(身体的)and learning experience. Poorly nourished(营养不良) children may be quiet and withdrawn(沉默寡言的), or too active during class activities. Fat children also face many problems. They are often slow and less able to participate in(参与) physical activity. They may suffer from(遭受)being laughed at(嘲笑)and emotional stress by being excluded from(排斥) playmates.Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status. Children who are well nourished are less likely to(不太可能做某事)become ill; they also recover(恢复)more quickly when they are sick. Poorly nourished children are more sensitive to(对…敏感) infections and illness. Illness also increases the need for some nutrients (营养物质). Thus poor nutrition creates a cycle of illness, poorer nutritional status, and lowered resistance to illness.Malnutrition(营养不良)is a serious problem for many young children but it is not always associated with(把…和联系起来) poverty or a poor environment. Children of middle and upper income families may also be malnourished(营养不良的)because of(由于) unwise food selections. Malnutrition occurs when there is prolonged (拖延的) imbalance(不平衡) of the nutrients that are required and the nutrients that are actually eaten. Malnutrition may be the result of under-nutrition or over-nutrition.It is important that both of these conditions be avoided in young child. An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development. Also, the effects of nutritional deficiency(缺乏)on physical development during early childhood are less likely to be changed by improved dietary(饮食的) intake later.习题解析6.

The well-nourished tend to recover quickly when they are ill.C. The poorly-nourished are most likely to(更有可能做某事) be the victims of any infections disease.D. The …cycle‟ indicates that illness can turn the poor nutritional condition for the worse.【解析】Children‟s resistance(抵抗) to infection(感染) and illness is also definitely influenced by their nutritional status.【答案】A8.

An adequate(充足的)intake(摄入) of all required nutrients is most vital during early periods of growth and development.

It can be inferred from the passage that ________. 【推理题】15. This passage was most probably written in _________. 【推理题】篇章解析In the year 1906 Woodrow Wilson, who was then president of Princeton University said, “Nothing has spread socialistic(社会主义的) feeling in this century more than the automobile(汽车),” and added that it offered “a picture of the arrogance(自大，傲慢)of wealth”. Less than twenty years later, two women of Muncie, Indiana, both of whom were managing on small incomes, spoke their minds to investigators(调查者)gathering facts for that admirable(令人钦佩的，值得赞扬的) study of an American community, Middletown. Said one, who was the mother of nine children. “We‟d rather(宁愿) do without clothes than give up(放弃) the car.” Said the other, “I‟ll go without food before I‟ll see us give up the car.” And elsewhere another housewife, in answer to(响应) a comment on the fact that her family owned a car but no bathtub, uttered(发出)a fitting theme song(主题歌)for the automobile revolution. “Why,” said she, “you can‟t go to town in a bathtub!”This change in the status of the automobile from luxury(奢侈) for the many —a change which, as we shall see, transformed(转变) American communities and daily habits and ideas throughout the half century —did not come about(发生)suddenly. It could not. For it depended upon(依靠)three things. First, a reliable(可靠的), manageable(易操纵的), and not expensive car. Second, good roads. And third, garages and filling stations(加油站) in great number. And all these three requirements had to come slowly, by degrees(逐渐地), each strengthening(加强) the others; a man who had tried to operate(经营) a filling station beside a dusty(落满灰尘的) road in 1906 would have speedily(迅速地)gone bankrupt(破产).习题解析11.

What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?【细节题】17. Icelanders‟ religion lies basically in _________. 【细节题】18. We can conclude from the passage that ________.【推理题】19. The underlined word “crucial” (Para. 4, line 4) means______.【词汇题】20. The best title for this passage would be ________. 【主旨题】篇章解析From the beginning of painting in Iceland, it has been the country‟s landscapes(风景) that has been the main subject(主题) for artists.And it should surprise nobody, as closeness to a magnificent(壮丽的) and imposing(壮观的) native land has been the great fountain(喷泉)which has nourished the country‟s children. Not only painters and artists have fed off(以…为食物来源) this source —all Icelanders have to some extent(在一定程度上) received spiritual(精神的) strength and inspiration(灵感) from the country‟s nature.It is because of this that the landscape, the appearance of the country and the moods of nature mean so such to Icelanders. They are moved by pictures from foreign lands. Many places hold a special place in people‟s hearts.Belief in the land is a common expression of those feelings an d views —that the destiny(命运) of land and nation are interrelated(相关的) and that nothing can change this. It is thus maintained(主张), both seriously andjokingly, that Icelanders‟religion lies in(在于)this “belief in the land.”No surprise that pictorial(图像的) representations(代表) of landscape are crucial to Icelanders.The modern age with its variation(变化) and experimentation(实验) in the arts and other fields has created many new outlooks which fly directly in the face of traditional attitudes. These new perspectives(观点) are often fresh winds which prompt(促进) us to reconsider and reform our viewpoints, even if they don‟t overturn(推翻) the old ones. And of course young, creative artists have other things in mind that simply recycling what others have done before them. Those who pioneer(开辟), who present(提出)original(新颖的，独特的)solutions, seldom achieve their breakthroughs(突破) quickly. Their struggle(奋斗) is always exciting —and often the one which bears the most fruit.习题解析16. What is not said about the landscape in Iceland?A. It has always been the main subject for paintings.B.
