3. 有关生活方式的英语阅读题（带答案）

As many as one thousand years ago in the Southwest, the Hopi and Zuni Indians of North America were building with adobe－sun baked brick plastered with mud. Their homes looked remarkably like modern apartment houses. Some were four stories high and contained quarters for perhaps a thousand people, along with store rooms for grain and other goods. These buildings were usually put up against cliffs, both to make construction easier and for defense against enemies. They were really villages in themselves, as later Spanish explorers must have realized since they called them “pueblos”, which is Spanish for town.
The people of the pueblos raised what are called“the three sisters” - corn, beans, and squash. They made excellent pottery and wove marvelous baskets, some so fine that they could hold water. The Southwest has always been a dry country, where water is scarce. The Hopi and Zuni brought water from streams to their fields and gardens through irrigation ditches. Water was so important that it played a major role in their religion. They developed elaborate ceremonies and religious rituals to bring rain.
The way of life of less settled groups was simpler and more strongly influenced by nature. Small tribes such as the Shoshone and Ute wandered the dry and mountainous lands between the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. They gathered seeds and hunted small animals such as small rabbits and snakes. In the Far North the ancestors of today's Inuit hunted seals, walruses, and the great whales. They lived right on the frozen seas in shelters called igloos built of blocks of packed snow. When summer came, they fished for salmon and hunted the lordly caribou.
The Cheyenne, Pawnee, and Sioux tribes, known as the Plains Indians, lived on the grasslands between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. They hunted bison, commonly called the buffalo. Its meat was the chief food of these tribes, and its hide was used to make their clothing and covering of their tents and tipis.
1. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The architecture of early American Indian buildings.
B. The movement of American Indians across North America.
C. Ceremonies and rituals of American Indians.
D. The way of life of American Indian tribes in early North America.
2. It can be inferred from the passage that the dwellings of the Hopi and Zuni were______.
A. very small
B. highly advanced
C. difficult to defend
D. quickly constructed
答案解析：

1. D） 根据阅读短文可知，作者主要描述了北美地区不同印第安部落的不同的生活方式 。故选项D为正确答案。
2. B） 此题为推断题。根据文章第一段可知，早在一千年前Hopi和Zuni两支北美印第安部落就用一种砖坯“adobe”来建造房屋，高可达四层楼高，有居住室还有储藏室，颇像现代的公寓，故选项B（高度发达）为正确答案。

6. 关于英语的生活常识小作文

---7 Reasons Walking May Be The Best Exercise You Can Get---

Exercise isn’t nearly as popular or practiced as it needs to be in America, and the rest of the world isn’t faring so hot, either — especially considering that a moderate amount of daily exercise is enough to keep all sorts of debilitating diseases like diabetes and heart disease at bay. If you’re someone who knows you could use a bit more exercise in your day-to-day life, but inexperience or nerves keep you from joining a gym or enlisting the help of a personal trainer, don’t despair.
It turns out that walking — yes, that activity you’ve been engaging in since around your first birthday — may be the very best exercise you can get, and it’s something almost anyone can do without any training, at any fitness level, and with very little monetary investment. If you need your arm twisted a bit as to why walking may be the best exercise available, here are seven reasons to say, “Uncle,” and head out for a stroll.
Less Stress on the Body
Running is the most popular form of exercise in the United States, and while it undoubtedly provides excellent fitness and health benefits, it can also be hard on joints — especially in aging runners. Walking, on the other hand, is a low-impact activity that keeps joints strong and loose well into old age. Because exercise puts some stress on the body — it’s the effort that benefits us, after all — choosing an activity that’s easier on joints, muscles, and tendons makes it an excellent choice for someone who hopes to exercise and stay healthy their whole life long.
It Works for All Ages and Fitness Levels
Whether you’re 25 or 85, walking is an exercise you can do. While some precautions may need to be taken for people who are older — extra care ring bad weather, walkers, canes, and the like — it’s still more than possible for even the very aged to take an afternoon walk for health benefits, and because it can be tailored to people of all fitness levels, you’ll never be too fit or too out of shape to take a walk. The athlete may need to walk longer and harder than the beginner, but walking is truly an inclusive exercise. So, grab your grandmother, and strap on your pedometers for an exercise you both can enjoy.
Reces Heart Disease Risk

Heart disease is still the number one killer in America, and walking is an ideal way to combat it. In fact, researchers in California found that, in some cases, walking is a more effective weapon against heart disease than running. For six years, the scientists monitored people between the ages of 18 and 80, and they found that walking reced participants’ risk of heart disease by almost 10 percent, while running reced the risk by less than five percent.
It Strengthens Your Heart
In addition to recing your risk for heart disease, walking is a boon to your heart’s overall strength. Blood pressure is more easily maintained within healthy levels, which can cut your risk of stroke by almost 30 percent. Also, walking helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, while it raises HDL (good) cholesterol. The simple act of putting one foot in front of the other gets your heart and blood pumping more quickly and more effectively, which also benefits your entire circulatory system.
It Prevents Dementia
One in six people over 80 suffer from dementia, and regular exercise cuts the risk of developing it at all by 40 percent. Simply walking as much as six miles per week reces brain shrinkage in the elderly and helps preserve memory. Since walking is one of the easiest exercises for the elderly to engage in, making it a part of your daily practice will make aging less disruptive mentally and physically.
It Keeps Weight at a Healthy Level
While any type of cardiovascular exercise is going to help you burn calories and trim your waistline, walking — because it’s so easy for anyone to partake in — is an ideal way to keep your weight at a healthy level. Whether you do it three times a week or every day, take a brisk walk on a regular basis to keep obesity at bay.
It Increases Happiness
All exercise boosts the exerciser’s mood, and some studies have even shown that brisk walking is as effective as antidepressant medications in mild to moderate depression. If you could use a few feel-good endorphins rushing through your blood, recing your anxiety, and, in general, making you want to whistle, take a 30-minute walk every day.
Exercise is a key component to living a healthy life — no matter what age you are, and while there are many excellent types of exercise to choose from, walking may be the cream of the entire fitness crop. From its ageless appeal to its ability to lower heart disease risk, walking just might be the fountain of youth we’re all looking for.

“人不是为失败而生的,一个人可以被毁灭,但不可以给打败”.孤独的老渔夫圣地亚哥刚毅的性格、精湛的钓鱼术等勾勒出他已不仅仅是条硬汉,也从他身上看到了各种不同的、让人深思的境界：自信、勇敢、乐观、单纯、孤寂及睿智.老渔夫的这种精神很值得我们去学习,去挖掘.文中孩子是从五岁起跟老人上船学习捕鱼的,孩子的个性特征从另一个侧面反映了老人的性格,表现出那种不畏艰难的,勇于战胜困难的性格；孩子虽然很小,只有几岁,但并不显很孩子气；从老人那里学到的不仅是捕鱼的本领,还有自尊自强的精神,并学会懂得生活的艰辛与男人的责任.稚嫩的肩膀早已习惯了清早就得出门打鱼的生活的磨砺,纵然是“走路还打瞌睡”,仍然说“这算什么,男子汉就得这样.”铿锵有力,落地有声的言语充分的展示了硬汉子精神.这种精神是很值得我们去学习的,也很让我感动.
给我感触最深的是文中老渔夫的那种精神,马诺林小孩的那种懂事,在生活中,在学习中,还是在以后的工作中,当我们遇到前所未有的苦难与挫折的时候,我们应该想想那个在大海上孤独地与强敌战斗的“硬汉”老渔夫,文中小孩的那种懂事与自尊自强,像他那样经的起生活的磨砺.这样,我们就会发现其实有很多困难并没有想象中的那么不可战胜.如果我们去学习这种精神,并拥有这种“硬汉”的精神,激发我们的最大潜能,就可以战胜我们认为这是不可能战胜的困难.

英语趣味小知识(2)——你会犯这样的错误吗？
你会犯这样的错误吗？
英语有时候真是莫名其妙，你觉得你明明懂了，可实际上你又没有懂。所以，今天我想讲几件轶事，都是因为没有理解听到看到的东西而闹出的笑话。也许，从他们的经验中，你也可以学到一些东西。
第一个故事发生在秘鲁，一位美国妇女在餐馆里用餐。她问服务员：
Excuse me. Where could I wash my hands?
服务员把她带到洗手间，可不巧，正有一些工人在粉刷洗手间的墙壁。工人们一看有人要用洗手间，就准备离开。服务员拦住他们，说：
That’s Ok. Stay. She only wants to wash her hands.
在英语里，wash my hands实际上是上厕所的委婉说法。那个服务员按照字面意思理解，结果闹了笑话。
还有一次，一个留学生在国外的学校第一天上学，心里又兴奋又紧张。一个美国人见到一张新面孔，为了表示友好，就问：
Hi! What’s the good word?
留学生一听到这个，立刻傻眼了，他想，
My God! I don’t know the good word. I’ve studied English for years, but no one told me about the good word!
他犹豫再三，想，反正我也不知道，就问问他好了。于是他吞吞吐吐地问：
Hello. What’s the good word?
老美听了，很随意地说：
Oh, not much.
这下，这个留学生就更吃惊了！

原来，What’s the good word? 在美语里，是一句问候语，意思是“你还好吗？”但问话的人并不指望你把遇到的高兴的事情都一一告诉他，只是打个招呼而已。但这个留学生以为对方真的在问什么是Good word，所以闹了笑话，不过还好，也算给他歪打正着了。

下面的故事就更有意思了。一次，一个美国公司的管理人员给公司一个驻外分部发了一份传真，要求对方把职员的人数报上来。他是这么说的：

I need a head count telling the number of people in your factory, the number of people in your office, broken down by sex.

在上面的传真里，broken down by sex是“按照性别分开”的意思，但是分公司的外国职员没有理解“broken down by sex”的意思。不过break something/someone down倒是还有一个意思，就是“把某事物，把某人压服”。

结果，美国总部收到了回音。那份传真是这样说的：

Here is your head count. Here we have thirty-five people in our factory, fifteen people in our office, five people in the hospital, none broken down by sex.

(这是你要的人头数。我们的工厂里有35人，办公室15人，医院5人，无人因纵欲过度而垮掉。)

最后，他还加了一句：And if you really must know, our problem down here is with alcohol. (如果你非要知道，我们这儿的问题是饮酒过度。)

查字典，break down就是“把……压服，把……压垮”的意思，因此外国职员就把broken down by sex理解成了“因为纵欲过度而垮了”，但是在那样的语言环境下，broken down by sex实际上是“按照性别分开”的意思。美国人一下子就理解的东西，在外国人眼里，就成了匪夷所思。可见，语言学习还真是麻烦。最好的办法当然是不断积累，还有，如果有不懂的东西，一定要问明白！

续动物篇

Santa Claus' reindeer(圣诞老人的驯鹿)

你知道圣诞老人的驯鹿是怎么来的吗？它们是Clement Clarke Moore （1779-1863 美国作家）所写的‘A Visit from St. Nicholas’1823作品里出现的Dasher、Dancer、Prancer、Vixen、Comet、Cupid、Donner、Blitzen等8头

the world is my oyster （世界是我的牡蛎）

if the world is my oyster 经常作为“如果我的梦想得以实现的话”的意思使用。该句来源于莎士比亚的The Merry Wives of Windsor (1600)Ⅱ､ⅱ､2中，恶棍Pistol对决意不肯借钱的Sir John Falstaff说、“Why then the world's mine oyster, / Which I with sword will open.”（这个世界如同我的牡蛎一样，我可以用刀子把它撬开。）人们应用这句话是常把原文的mine该成my.这句话也常常出现在Willy Loman的台词中
