阅读理解训练（22）‎ Passage 1‎ ‎ ‎ What Would You Want Most on a Desert‎ ‎Island?‎ This month's survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left alone on a desert island: Another person. And one they know well. Respondents in all 16 countries surveyed said their spouse (调查对象) or partner would be their first choice to have with them.

My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down, and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids ！ The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive… and the'contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now,I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch with a phone I can actually use. ”‎ Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订）！ Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense.

There are some places which are probably a mere wall away from your college. ‎ King’s Art Centre         A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.         You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the masters’ or get more creative with paint – free of charge.         The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. ‎ the Botanic Garden         The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge‎ ‎University.         The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.         Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.         The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. ‎ ‎        Byron’s Pool         Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge‎ ‎University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.         It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you don’t trust me, then perhaps you’ll take it from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. ‎ ‎ 13. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for ____.     A. attending the masters’ class     B. working with local artists     C. learning life drawing     D. seeing an exhibition ‎ ‎14. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are ____.     A. common insects     B. impressive plants     C. rarely-seen snakes     D. wildlife-enthusiasts 15. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed ____.     A. to fear pet bears     B. to like walking     C. to be a heavy drinker     D. to finish university in 1805 16. In the passage Byron’s Pool is described as a lake ____.     A. surrounded by fields     B. owned by Lord Byron     C. located in Grantchester     D. discovered by Virginia Woolf 17. What is the passage mainly about?     A. Some places for weekend break.     B. A way to become creative in art.     C. The colourful life in the countryside.     D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University. 参考答案：CBBAA 答案详解： 13. 细节理解题。从第一部分中的The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.可知答案。 14. 细节理解题。从第二部分找到这两种名称便知。 15. 推理判断题。从the pet bear he kept in his rooms排除A；Arriving in 1805排除D；从complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”得出是别人drunken,他抱怨，排除C。从He spent a great deal of time walking in the village可知选B。 16. 细节理解题。A couple of miles past Grantchester排除C；from Virginia Woolf – over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool排除D；文章没提到own的问题。the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields为答案出处。 17. 主旨大意题。本文为总分结构，从第一段可知答案。‎ Passage 5‎ A Book Review—The Snake-Stone by Berlie Doherty The setting: Urban England (the cities), but also rural England (the countryside) including remote English villages.‎ The theme: The main theme is a teenage research of self-discovery, in this case the search for a mother from whom the hero was separated at an early age. Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close, James’ swimming coach says to him: “You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”‎ The characters: James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents (养父母).

It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.‎ The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a stranger’s door fifteen years before.
