todd was rather looking forward篇一：2011上海中考二模卷第三部分 回答问题

E. Answer the question（根据短文内容回答下列问题）：（14分）

Quite a few people believe that the phases of the moon（月相）affect the behavior of human and other creatures. That is known as the lunar effect（月相效应）. The lunar effect has been around for many centuries. The power of the moon is often used to explain a wide range of events, such as human insanity（精神错乱）, and increases in violent crimes（暴力犯罪） and traffic accidents. According to some traditions, for example, before the coming of modern techniques, surgeons（外科医生） would refuse to operate on the full moon nights because of the increased risk of death of the patient through blood loss. The idea behind the lunar effect ahs even found its way into the news. For example, it has been said that the full moon may have influenced voters‟（选民）behavior in the 2000 U.S. presidential election（总统大选）.

Does the moon affect our behavior at all? Some people say it does. They say the moon causes the tides, so surely that the moon has an effect on people and we ourselves are full of the water, too. But scientists point out that the moon only affects unrestrained（不受控制的） waters, such as oceans. The water in our bodies isn‟t even comparable（可比较）. And over fifty years of research has shown nothing to prove the existence（存在） of a causative（引起联系的） link between the moon and areas such as mental illness, birth rates, crime, or accidents.

There is an explanation for why people link the full moon to unusual human behavior. The reason is that people have

selective memories（选择性记忆）. When something unusual happens and there is a full moon, people might notice the moon and think it is to be blamed.

99. What do quite a few people believe?

100. What is used to explain wide range of events?

101. Why would surgeons refuse to operate on the full moon nights?

102. Do some people say that the moon affect our behavior?

103. Scientists hardly agree that the moon affect people‟s behavior, do they?

104. How long has the research on the lunar effect been done?

105. Why do people link the full moon to unusual human behavior?

This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany

13 October

Dear editor

I am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation(一代人)。 I will give you two examples.

Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don‟t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的) woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but give me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn‟t follow me.

Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend‟s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn‟t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking world politics. It soon became clear that they didn‟t know much. They couldn‟t tell me the name or the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.

I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Macdonald‟s after instead of going the library like I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this „lost generation‟.

Annie Oakley was born in 1860 in Ohio. Living on a farm, she quickly learned to shoot （射击）. When only 9 years old, she brought in small animals to the family table. By 16, she was selling some of the animals she shot for food. Thus she helped pay off the mortgage (按揭) on the family farm.

One day in 1876, Annie heard of famous Frank Butler. He was travelling about the country performing his shooting on stage. He often accepted challenges（挑战）from people who thought they could outshoot him, but they almost never did. When Annie heard about him, she became excited. "I'll bet I can beat him," she thought. There was only one way to find out. She would challenge him. But would he accept a challenge from a girl? A girl who was only 16? He did accept. It was a close match, but Annie won by a single point. Impressed with Annie's skill, Butler asked her to join his show. She did, and she soon became not only the star of the show but also Mrs. Butler.

Some years later, Annie and Frank joined the famous Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. The cowboys, Native Americans, Pony Express riders, bucking broncos, and stagecoaches each gave their performance. But the favourite of the audiences was usually Annie Oakley. Annie's fame （名声）spread far and wide. To show her excellent skill, she shot in half a playing card from 30 paces and consistently shot a dime flipped in the air. Most breathtaking of all was her shooting off a cigarette held between her husband's lips.

Many stones grew about Annie s shooting ability. The following story is rather exaggerated（夸张）. One afternoon, Annie saw a raccoon（浣熊）alone up a tree. She quickly clapped her gun to her shoulder and was about to shoot when the raccoon lifted a paw and said, "Is your name Annie Oakley?

"You're right," .Annie said.

“Then,” said the raccoon, “you can let down your gun. I may as well come down.” With that the animal walked right down from the tree because he considered himself shot.

Todd was rather looking forward to his first journey by underground in London. He had heard a great deal about it from his friends who had already been to England. They all advised him not to travel alone the first time. But Todd is the kind of person who never listens to anyone's advice.

Todd entered the station shortly after five in the afternoon. This is a bad time to travel in London, by both bus and train,

because crowds of people go home from work at this hour. He had to join a long queue (队伍) of people waiting for tickets. When at last his turn came, he had some difficulty making the man understand the name of the station he wanted to go to. The people behind him began to complain impatiently at the delay. However, he got the right ticket in the end and, by asking several people the way, he also found the right platform, which was already packed tight with people. He did not manage to get on the first train, but he was able to move nearer to .the edge of the platform so as to be in a better position to get on the next one. When later train came, Todd was swept forward onto the train by the rush of the people from behind. The doors closed and the train moved off before he was able to get his breath back. He was unable to see the names of the stations where the train stopped, but he had counted the number of stops so that he knew exactly where to get off. His station was the sixth along the line.

When the train reached the sixth station, he got off, feeling relieved that his journey had been so easy. But he was surprised to see that he had got off at a station that he had never heard of! He explained his difficulty to a man standing on the platform. With a look of amusement on his face, the man told Todd he had traveled on a train going in the wrong direction.

The hardworking blacksmith(铁匠)Jones used to work all day in his shop. The son of Mr. Smith, a rich neighbour, used to come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the blacksmith worked. “Young man ,why don‟t you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks(铁钉),even if it is only to pass the time?” said the blacksmith. “Who knows, one day, it may be useful to you.”

The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.

Old Mr. Smith died and the son lost all his things because of the war .He had to leave home and live in another country. It happened that in this village there were many shoemakers spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and sometimes even when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a great need of tacks for soldiers‟ shoes.

Young Mr. Smith remembered that he had learned how to make shoe tacks before, so he had a talk with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help him to found that he was making the finest shoe tacks in the village.

“How funny it seems,” he used to say, “Even by making shoe tacks, one can become rich. My business is more useful to me now than all my riches in the past.”

More than 50,000,000 people live in the rainforests of the world and most of them do not hurt the forest they live in. They eat the fruits that grow on the forest trees, but they do not cut them down. They kill some animals to eat, but they do not destroy them. When we cut down the rainforests, we destroy these forest people, too. In 1900, there were 1,000,000 forest people in the Amazon forest. In 1980, there were only 200,000.

The Yanmomami live along the rivers of the rainforest in the north of Brazil. They have lived in the forest for about 10,000 years and they use more than 2,000 different plants for food. But in the later 1950s some strangers came and began looking for gold. They cut down the forest to make roads. They made more than a hundred airports. The Yanimami people lost land and food. Many died because new diseases came to the forest with the strangers. The Yanimami people tried to save their forest, because it was their home. But the people who wanted gold were stronger.

Many forest people try to save their forests. Chico Mendes was famous in Brazil because he wanted to keep the forest for his people. “I want the Amazon forest to help all of us—forest people, Brazil, and all the earth,‟ he said. A few months later, in December 1988, people who wanted to cut down the forest killed Chico Mendes.

In Boreno, people were cutting down the forest of the Penan people to sell the wood. The Penan people tried to save their rainforest. They made blockades(堵塞)across the roads into the forest. In 1987 they closed fifteen roads for eight months. No one cut down any trees during that time. In Panama, the Kuna people saved their forest. They made a forest park which tourists pay to visit. The Gavious people of Brazil use the forest, but they protect it as well. They find and sell the Brazil nuts which grow on the forest trees.

99. Most people do not hurt the forests they live in, do they?

100. How many people left the Amazon forest from 1900 to 1980?

101. Why did the strangers come to the forest in the late 1950s?

102. What happened to the Yanimami people when new diseases came with the strangers?

103. Why did Chico Mendes become famous in Brazil?

104. How did the Penan people try to save their rainforest?

Soon computers will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The program works because everyone's eyes are different. So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are.

The eye-recognition（眼睛识别）program has already been tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain, Spain, Italy and Turkey. Soon this technology will take the place of all other ways of finding out who people are.

However, scientists are also working on other systems, machine will soon be able to know you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! We already have machines that can tell who you are from your voice or the mark that made by your finger.

Eye-recognition is better than other kinds because your eyes don't change as you get older and don't get dirty like hands or fingers, and ever twins have different eyes. So the eye-recognition program can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. However, some other programs may only be 51% correct at present. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people who had tried it said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.

In the future your computer will be looking at you in the eye. So smile!

99. What kind of machine will soon be able to remember you by looking at your eyes?

100. How does the eye-recognition program work?

101. How many countries has the eye-recognition program been tested in?

102. Who is working on other system besides the eye-recognition program?

103. Why can the eye-recognition program be up to 94% correct?

104. Are some other programs better than the eye-recognition program nowadays?

Edward Sims was born in 1892. He was the fifth child and only son of Herbert and Dora Sims. Herbert was a carpenter(木匠) , and did a successful business making furniture. He decided that his first-born son would be a carpenter just like him. For this reason, Edward was kept away from school and worked with his father.

However, Edward was not born to be a carpenter. Although he had a fit body, he didn't have strong arms like his father. When he tried to find another job, he found it difficult because he had never learnt to read or write.

One day, he went for an interview at a law office. The job was a runner, taking papers from the office to other offices in the city. The lawyer was pleased to see that Edward was physically fit, but when he discovered that the young man couldn't read or write, he decided not to employ him. "How can you deliver documents to other offices," he asked, "if you can't read the addresses on them?"

Greatly disappointed, Edward left the building and went to wait for a bus to take him back home. Next to the bus stop, a man was selling newspapers from a stand (摊位) .

"Excuse me, young man?" he said. "Would you look after my stand for a moment?"

For the next 20 minutes, Edward sold newspapers, lots of them. When the man came back, he was so happy to see his new assistant's honesty that he offered him a job. Edward took it immediately. .

In the next few months, the two men progressed from working on newspaper stands to selling newspapers, cigarettes, candy and other goods in a shop. Then they opened a second shop, and a third. Finally, they had a chain of 25 shops in three cities.

Edward became very rich, so he employed a private teacher to teach him read and write. The teacher was amazed at what Edward had achieved. "Imagine what you could do if you were able to read and write when you were younger!" he said.

Besides writing, he also liked hunting and fishing very much, so one year he went to Maine for a holiday and spent three very pleasant weeks in the woods there.

Hen he had to go back home, he drove to the station with his luggage. There he asked a porter to put into the train. Then he got into the smoking car and sat down in one of the comfortable seats there. The car was empty when he got in , but a few minutes later, another man got in and sat down on the seats opposite his. Mark twain looked sat the man and thought that this man looked quite unpleasant. However, it would be impolite to say nothing in that situation, so he said good morning to the man and they begin to talk.

In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become increasingly popular among people of all ages. Bicycles have long played an important part in the lives of American youths.

E. Answer the questions

Todd was rather looking forward to his first journey by underground in London. He had heard a great deal about it from his friends who had already been to England. They all advised him not to travel alone the first time. But Todd is the kind of person who never listens to anyone's advice.

Todd entered the station shortly after five in the afternoon. This is a bad time to travel in London, by both bus and train, because crowds of people go home from work at this hour. He had to join a long queue (队伍) of people waiting for tickets. When at last his turn came, he had some difficulty making the man understand the name of the station he wanted to go to. The people behind him began to complain impatiently at the delay. However, he got the right ticket in the end and, by asking several people the way, he also found the right platform, which was already packed tight with people. He did not manage to get on the first train, but he was able to move nearer to .the edge of the platform so as to be in a better position to get on the next one. When later train came, Todd was swept forward onto the train by the rush of the people from behind. The doors closed and the train moved off before he was able to get his breath back. He was unable to see the names of the stations where the train stopped, but he had counted the number of stops so that he knew exactly where to get off. His station was the sixth along the line.

When the train reached the sixth station, he got off, feeling relieved that his journey had been so easy. But he was surprised to see that he had got off at a station that he had never heard of! He explained his difficulty to a man standing on the platform. With a look of amusement on his face, the man told Todd he had traveled on a train going in the wrong direction.

The last part of this century will be an age of exploration such as man has never known. There are eight planets, at least thirty moons, and thousands of asteroids(小行星) to be explored. Their total area is about 250 times that of the earth. Spaceships will not be able to land on some of them. But that still leaves to be explored an area ten times as great as the continents of the earth.

Exploring space may seem terrifying to some people. No doubt explorers of the past were terrified by the great empty oceans that lay before them. They conquered their fears, crossed the oceans, and built the New world.

Collecting stamps is a hobby that interests kids and adults from all over the world. When you first decide to start collecting stamps you may find that you have nothing to start with. You can buy a packet of stamps to get you started. For a small price, you can get many kinds of stamps from different countries. The Internet shop is another great place for finding stamps where you can buy them at low prices.

When you buy or get used stamps, most of the stamps will still be on the envelope paper. You should remove them off the paper carefully instead of just pulling them down. For common used stamps, the safe way to remove them from the envelope paper is by them in water.

Fill a plate with a small amount of clean water. Place the paper with the stamp into water for about ten or fifteen minutes. Then carefully pick the stamp up out of the water and try to slowly remove the stamp from the paper.

After removing the stamps from the paper, they need to be dried (弄干) slowly and gently. After the stamps have dried, flatten (弄平) them by putting them between the pages of a heavy book, or using a special drying book. Then these dry and flattened stamps can be stored in your stamp collecting books.

( )41. You can first start your stamp collection by _______ according to the passage.
