题文

If you’re like most kids, you’ve probably made more than a few paper airplanes in your day. But how many kids can say their paper airplanes have been built life-size and then flown? At least one: 12-year-old Arturo Veldenegro of Tucson, Arizona, who won the Pima Air& Space Muum’s first annual Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off in March 2012.“ The purpo of the competition is to inspire and draw kids’ interest in science and flight,” says Tim Vimmerstedt, director of the muum.about 150 kids entered the competition. The young designers learned about how airplanes fly and then t to work designing their own planes. Arturo designed and built his airplane. When hen was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!As the winner, Arturo got to meet with a team of engineers, which took his design and made a bigger one. The new paper airplane might have been the largest one ever built! Arturo named his large paper airplane Arturo’s Dert Eagle. Later a helicopter tried to lift the paper airplane over the Arizona dert, but it was unsuccessful. Engineers worked for eight hours to repair it for a cond try. This time, the helicopter managed to rai it to 2700 feet and then t the plane free. Arturo watched as his plane flew through the sky at speeds of up to 98 miles per hour for 10 conds before falling to pieces. “I felt happy but sad,” Arturo says, “ It flew really well, but it was sad to e it destroyed.”But that wasn’t the end of Arturo’s Dert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Muum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky. 小题1:According to the text, the Great Paper Airplane Project Fly-Off competition _______A．has been held many times B．can only be entered by kidsC．is to choo the largest planeD．is held by a team of designers小题2:The underlined word ”outdistancing” in Para 4 means ________A．looking forB．believing inC．throwing awayD．leaving behind小题3:What do we know about the paper airplane Arturo built?A．It flew the highestB．It flew for 20 minutes C．It flew more than 75 feetD．it took him eight hours to build小题4:In the end, Arturo’s Dert Eagle ______A．was made into a helicopterB．was produced in many placesC．was sold to a team of engineersD．was put on show in the muum 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

小题1:B小题2:D小题3:C小题4:D

解析

如果你像大多数小孩那样的话，那么在那段时光里你大概做过许多纸飞机。但是又有多少小孩能说他们做的纸飞机已经被做成实物大小，并且已经被放飞，至少来来自亚利桑那州图桑市的12岁少年Arturo Veldenegro在2012年3月赢得了Pima航天航空博物馆举办的首届纸质年度飞机放飞项目的第一名。小题1:细节题，结合第2段“The purpo of the competition is to inspire and draw kids’ interest in science and flight”，竞赛的目的就是激发和引起小孩对科学和飞行的兴趣，故B正确。小题2:词义猜测，结合第4段“When it was finished, he took his plane to the flight area and let it fly, outdistancing the other competitors in all age groups. At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!”故D正确。小题3:细节题，结合第4段“At last, Arturo’s airplane flew the farthest---more than 75 feet!”故C正确。小题4: 细节题，结合文章最后一段“But that wasn’t the end of Arturo’s Dert Eagle. The Pima Air & Space Muum collected the pieces of the broken plane and put them on show to inspire other young engineers to reach for the sky.”故D正确。

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“If you’re like most .....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念：

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。

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。
