题文

It is men’s nature to live together in families and tribes(部落), and cities and nations, and therefore men have learned to prize tho qualities in each other which make social life the happiest and best.Of the qualities one of the most important is sympathy－fellow-feeling. If a man had no fellow-feeling, we should call him “inhuman”; he would be no true man. We think so much of this quality that we call a kind man “human”－that is, man-like in his conduct, first to other men, and afterwards to all living things. If you are cruel to animals, you are not likely to be kind or thoughtfull to men; and if you are thoughtful towards men, you are not likely to be cruel and thoughtful towards animals. This is why the wi man of old wrote, “The merciful man is merciful to his beast.”What a pleasure it is also to be loved by our pets or domestic animals; and to feel that we are caring for them and are derving of their love; or to watch the ways of wild creatures, and gradually to make friends with them!Treating animals kindly does not mean that we must never inflict any pain on them. We ourlves are trained by pains as well as by pleasures; so too, punishment is sometimes needed to train our dogs and hors to obey us. We endure pains at the hands of the surgeon, to cure some wound or to heal some dia; so too, animals must submit to being doctored.We nd out our bravest men to face wounds, sickness and death, for the good of the nation; so too, we let our hors share the risk of battle. For similar reasons, we cannot hesitate to destroy dangerous creatures like wolves and show nless ferocity(残忍). It is no excu to say that the animals derve to be treated cruelly on account of their own cruelty. They are not really cruel, for they tear and kill not from love of unkindness, but becau they must do so in order to live.小题1:One of the most important qualities of men is fellow-feeling becau  .A．you are likely to be cruel and thoughtful without it B．a man would be inhuman without itC．men can’t bear any pain on themlves and animals D．only sympathy makes a man man-like in his conduct小题2:The author would probably agree with the following EXCEPT that   .A．we must never force any pain on animals B．some people have to kill some animals in order to liveC．it is human for a doctor to cut off some part from the animalsD．wi men are not only good to men but also to animals小题3:What do you think is the title of the passage?A．Loving your pet.B．Fellow-feeling.C．Making friends with animals.D．Kindness to animals.小题4:Which of the following is inhuman according to the writer?A．To treat animals cruelly becau they are cruel.B．To train animals.C．To destroy some of the dangerous animals.D．To make animals submit to being doctored.小题5:The underlined word “inflict” here means  .A．make sb/sth sufferB．forbidC．punishD．avoid 题型：未知难度：其他题型

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：

【题型说明】该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。 【备考提醒】为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点： 1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。 2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。 3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。 4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
