英語母親書桌閱讀理解及答案
A. 2008年高考英語江蘇卷 - 閱讀理解D
It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved clear across the country in pursuit of the dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son. He was working on his future, and nothing could stop him.
傑克已經有一段時間沒見到這位老人了。大學、工作和生活本身都成為了障礙。事實上，為了追求夢想，傑克在全國到處飛。繁忙的生活讓傑克幾乎沒有時間思考過去，也沒有時間和妻兒在一起。他在為自己的未來而努力，沒有什麼能阻止他。
Over the phone, his mother told him, 「Mr. Belser died last night. The funeral is Wednesday.」 Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.
在電話里，他的母親告訴他：「貝爾瑟先生昨晚去世了，葬禮在周三舉行。」當他靜靜地坐在那裡回憶童年時光時，記憶就像歷史影像在腦海中閃現。
「Jack, did you hear me?」
「傑克，你聽見了嗎？」
「Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. it』s been so long since I thought of him. I』m sorry, but I honestly thought he died years ago,」 Jack said.
傑克說：「哦，對不起，媽媽。是的，我聽見了。我很久沒想起他了。對不起，但我真的以為他幾年前就去世了。」。
「Well, he didn』t forget you. Every time I saw him he』d ask how you were doing. He』d reminisce about the many days you spent over 『his side of the fence』 as he put it, 」 Mom told him.
「嗯，他沒有忘記你。每次我見到他，他都會問你過得怎麼樣。他常常回憶起你在他家院子里度過的許多日子，」媽媽告訴他。
「I loved that old house he lived in,」 Jack said.
「我喜歡他住的那棟老房子，」傑克說。
「You know, Jack, after your father died, Mr. Belser stepped in to make sure you had a man』s influence in your life,」 she said.
「傑克，你知道嗎，你父親去世後，貝爾瑟先生介入進來，確保你的生活中有男人的影響，」她說。
「He』s the one who taught me carpentry. I wouldn』t be in this business if it weren』t for him. He spent a lot of time teaching me things he thought were important. Mom, I』ll be there for the funeral.」 Jack said.
「是他教我木工的。如果沒有他，我就不會從事這個行業。他花了很多時間教我他認為重要的東西。媽媽，我會參加葬禮的。」傑克說。
Busy as he was, he kept his word. Jack caught the next flight to his hometown. Mr. Belser』s funeral was small and uneventful. He had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed away.
盡管傑克很忙，但他信守諾言。趕上了下一班飛往家鄉的航班。貝爾瑟先生的葬禮規模不大，平平淡淡。他沒有自己的孩子，他的親戚大多數都去世了。
The night before he had to return home, Jack and his Mom stopped by to see the old house next door one more time, which was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every picture, every piece of furniture … Jack stopped suddenly.
在他不得不回去的前一天晚上，傑克和他的媽媽再次路過隔壁的老房子，這正是他所記得的。每一步都有記憶。每一張照片，每一件傢具……傑克突然停了下來。
「What』s wrong, Jack?」 his Mom asked.
「怎麼了，傑克？」他媽媽問。
「The box is gone,」 he said.
「盒子不見了，」他說。
「What box?」 Mom asked.
「什麼盒子？」媽媽問。
「There was a small gold box that he kept locked on top of his desk. I must have asked him a thousand times what was inside. All he』d ever tell me was 『the thing I value most』,」 Jack said.
「他把一個小金盒鎖在書桌上。我肯定問過他一千遍裡面裝的是什麼。他總是告訴我是他『最珍視的東西』，」傑克說。
It was gone. Everything about the house was exactly how Jack remembered it, except for the box. He figured someone from the Belser family had taken it.
它不見了。除了盒子，房子的一切都和傑克記憶中的一模一樣。他認為是貝爾瑟家族的人拿走的。
「Now I』ll never know what was so valuable to him,」 Jack said sadly.
「現在我永遠也不知道是什麼對他如此有價值，」傑克悲傷地說。
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.
第二天回到辦公室，他在辦公桌上發現了一個包裹。回信地址引起了他的注意。
「Mr. Harold Belser」 it read.
上面寫著「哈羅德·貝爾瑟先生」。
Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack』s hands shook as he read the note inside,
傑克撕開了包裹。裡面有一個金盒子和一個信封。傑克讀到裡面的紙條時，雙手顫抖，
「Upon my death, please forward this box and its contents to Jack Bernett. It』s the thing I valued most in my life.」 A small key was taped to the letter. His heart racing, and tears filling his eyes. Jack carefully unlocked the box. There inside he found a beautiful gold pocket watch. Running his fingers slowly over the fine cover, he opened it.
「我死後，請把這個盒子和裡面的東西轉交給傑克·伯內特。這是我一生中最珍視的東西。」信上貼著一把小鑰匙。他的心怦怦直跳，淚水盈眶。傑克小心地打開箱子。他在裡面發現了一塊漂亮的金懷表。他用手指慢慢地撫摸著精美的封面，打開了它。
Inside he found these words carved: 「Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.」
他發現裡面刻著這樣一句話：「傑克。謝謝你的時間！哈羅德·貝爾瑟。」
「Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …」
「哦，天哪！這是他最珍視的東西……」
Jack held the watch for a few minutes, then called his assistant and cleared his appointments for the next two days. 「Why?」 his assistant asked.
傑克拿著手錶看了幾分鍾，然後打電話給他的助理，取消了接下來兩天的會議。「為什麼？」助理問道。
「I need some time to spend with my son,」 he said.
「我需要一些時間和兒子在一起，」他說。

She gets up early in the morning, and then she talks with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough.

Reading for pleasure is the easiest way to become a better reader in English. It is also the most important way.
Some students say they don’t want to read for pleasure. They say they want to use their time to learn the rules of the language and new words. They say that pleasure reading is too easy.
Many experts (專家) say pleasure reading is very important for learning English. Dr. Stephen Krashen, a famous expert on learning languages, says that pleasure reading helps you learn many important things about English. Students learn more grammar and more words when they read for pleasure. They also learn more about good writing.
Dr. Krashen tells us that pleasure reading helps each student in a different way. Each student needs to learn something different. Pleasure reading makes it possible for each student to learn what he or she needs.
Reading for pleasure is not the same as studying. When you read for pleasure, you choose your own books, and you don’t have to remember everything. There are no tests on your pleasure reading books. Pleasure reading will help you:
learn how English speakers use English
read faster in English
find examples of good writing in English
learn new words
learn about the cultures (文化) of English speakers
47. Is pleasure reading important for learning English?
48. Which is the easier way to become a better reader, pleasure reading or studying?
49. What do some students think of pleasure reading?
50.How can we become better readers?

Passage Fifteen (The Second Wave of Feminism)
The statistics I』ve cited and the living examples are all too familiar to you. But what may not be so familiar will be the increasing number of women who are looking actively for advancement of for a new job in your offices. This woman may be equipped with professional skills and perhaps valuable experience, She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr. Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice President』s Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturday.
She is the symbol of what I call the Second Wave of Feminism. She is the modern woman who is determined to be.
Her forerunner was the radical feminist who interpreted her trapped position as a female as oppression by the master class of men. Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society. Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children. Sometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life.
The radical feminists found strength in banding together. Coming to recognize each other for the first time, they could explore their own identities, realize their own power, and view the male and his system as the common enemy. The first phases of feminism in the last five years often took on this militant, class-warfare tone. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and most able women in the country. Consciousness-raising groups allowed women to explore both their identities and their dreams—and the two were often found in direct conflict.
What is the stereotyped role of American women? Marriage. A son. Two daughters. Breakfast. Ironing. Lunch. Bowling, maybe a garden club of for the very daring, non-credit courses in ceramics. Perhaps an occasional cocktail party. Dinner. Football or baseball on TV. Each day the same. Never any growth in expectations—unless it is growth because the husband has succeeded. The inevitable question: 「Is that all there is to life?」
The rapid growth of many feminist organizations attests to the fact that these radical feminists had touched some vital nerves. The magazine 「Ms.」 was born in the year of the death of the magazine 「Life.」 But too often the consciousness-raising sessions became ends in themselves. Too often sexism reversed itself and man-hating was encouraged. Many had been with the male chauvinist.
It is not difficult, therefore, to detect a trend toward moderation. Consciousness-raising increasingly is regarded as a means to independence and fulfillment, rather than a ceremony of fulfillment itself. Genuine independence can be realized through competence, through finding a career, through the use of ecation. Remember that for many decades the ecation of women was not supposed to be useful.
1. What was the main idea of this passage?
[A]. The Second Wave of Feminist. [B]. Women』s Independent Spirits.
[C]. The Unity of Women. [D]. The Action of Union.
2. What was the author』s attitude toward the radical?
[A]. He supported it wholeheartedly. [B]. He opposed it strongly.
[C]. He disapproved to some extent. [D]. He ignored it completely.
3. What does the word 「militant」 mean?
[A]. Aggressive. [B]. Ambitions. [C]. Progressive. [D]. Independent.
4, What was the radical feminist』s view point about the male?
[A]. Women were exploited by the male.
[B]. Women were independent of the male.
[C]. Women』s lives were deprived by the male.
[D]. The male were their common enemy.

難句譯注
1. She will not be content to be Executive Assistant to Mr. Seldom Seen of the Assistant Vice President』s Girl Friday, who is the only one who comes in on Saturday.
這是作者杜撰的名字，含有諷刺內涵。Mr. Seldom Seen 很少見到的先生。說明公司很難見到他。那麼做他的助手就是她替他干一切活。星期五姑娘。星期五是《魯濱遜漂流記》中的一個人物，是魯濱遜的僕人。這位星期六休假日來上班的姑娘，當然得干主人的一切活。
[參考譯文] 她不會滿意做「很少見」先生的助手，也不願做助理副主席的星期五姑娘，那位姑娘是唯一的一個星期六來上班的人。
2. Men, she believed, had created a domestic, servile role for women in order that men could have the career and the opportunity to participate in making the great decisions of society.
[結構簡析] she believed 形式上插入語，實際 Men 句是它的賓語從句。In order that 義：為的是。目的.狀語。
[參考譯文] 她認為男人為婦女創制了一個持家操勞的奴隸角色，為的是男人可以獲得事業和機遇參與決定重大的社會抉擇。
3. Thus the radical feminist held that women through history had been oppressed and dehumanized, mainly because man chose to exploit his wife and the mother of his children. Sometimes it was deliberate exploitation and sometimes it was the innocence of never looking beneath the pretensions of life.
[結構簡析] 兩句句子。前一句的賓語為主從句，後為並列句。
[參考譯文]於是，激進女權主義者認為綜觀歷史，婦女一直是被壓迫被奴役，被非人化，主要原因就是因為男人就是想剝削他的妻子，孩子們的母親。有時是有意的剝削；有時是由於沒有透過生活的假象看到問題的實質，是無知所致。
4. Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Germaine Greer, and many others hammered home their ideas with a persistence that aroused and intrigued many of the brightest and most able women in the country.
[參考譯文] Betty Friedan， Gloria Steinem，Germaine Greer，以及其他許多激進女權主義者堅持不懈的強行灌輸（推行）他們的思想，幻想並吸引了國內無數最聰容，最能乾的婦女。
寫作方法與文章大意
文章論述「爭取女權運動的婦女」，也可以說是女權運動的第二次浪潮。作者從歷史上的女權運動激進分子觀點談起：婦女為男人所奴役，剝削。因為男的想獨攬決策社會的大權，到女子覺醒，認識自己和自己的力量，把男人視作她們共同的敵人。最後是目前向緩沖發展的趨勢，也是作者觀點。
答案祥解
1. A. 第二次女權運動的浪潮。在第一段，一般性描述之後（見難句譯注1），作者畫龍點睛的指明「她就是我所指的第二次女權運動浪潮的象徵。她是決心要成為的現代婦女的代表。」以後的文章就是圍繞女權運動而寫的。見文章大意。
B. 婦女的獨立精神。這只是女權運動中部分內容。 C. 婦女團結。第三段一開始就提到「激進女權主義者發現了緊密團結在一起的力量。」也是女權運動的部分內容。
D. 團結運動。
2. C. 有點不贊成。這在最後兩段表現的最為明顯：「許多女權運動組織迅速發展證明這些激進爭取女權的人觸到了某些活躍的神經。（非常活躍）。 Ms 雜志就在《生活》停刊那年誕生。可是喚起覺醒的會議常常成為這些活動的目的。性別歧視（歧視婦女）也常常顛倒過來並且提倡憎恨男人。許多人曾是男權至上主義者。」「因此，察覺向平和中的趨向發展並不難。提高覺悟的做法越來越被認為是獨立與成就的方式，而不是慶賀成就本身的儀式。真正的獨立是能夠通過能力，通過尋找一份事業，通過應用教育加以實現。要記住，幾十年來，婦女教育被認為是無用的。」如果是倒數第二段是作者對激進分子有點批評，不滿的態度的表現，那麼最後一段就是作者的觀點：獨立是靠塌實工作，提高婦女自身的能力來實現的。
A. 他全心全意的擁護。 B. 他強烈反對。不完全如此。 D. 他完全忽視不顧。
3. A. 好鬥的。（斗爭性強的）。第三段第三句：「在最近5年中女權運動首要方面常常具有這種好鬥的階級斗爭調子。」
B. 野心的。 C. 進步的。 D. 獨立的。
4. D. 男人是她們共同的敵人。第三段：「激進女權運動分子在緊密團結中找到了力量。第一次她們認識了自己，她們可以探索自我，意識到她們的力量，把男人及其制度視為她們共同的敵人。」
A. 婦女為男人們所剝削。這在第三段中講到，見難句譯注3。這是婦女觀點中具體內容之一。也是為什麼說男人及制度是她們共同敵人的原因之一。 B. 婦女不受男人支配。 C. 男人剝奪了女人生活。

A little Brave Girl
A little Brave Girl
It is a true story.
This story was set in at the end of 2004 Zhejiang, when a ten-year old girl walked on her way to home from school as usual, she was being kidnapped off guard
by three men, whom are over 30 years of age, be tall, strong, and are very experienced in kidnapping. For just a split second, the girl was got in a car and didn』t know where she would head, but she didn』t burst into tears like others probably have done in her age, was unusually sober and figured out what has just happened. After short deliberation, she gave her parents telephone number to three
kidnappers after she was asked twice. Kidnappers shortly send short message to
her parents to tell what they did a moment ago for the ransom of RMB500,000 as they commands, threatened them with their daughter』s life. Her parents were at their wits' end at that moment and later had to dial police for helping. During closely watched by two kidnappers, the girl were pleased to cooperate with them in three meals, water, and spoke something to them for delaying. Luckily, kidnappers are very emotional and were amazed at what the girl said when it comes to money, 「 I know clearly you are impossible to kill me, you need money most of all
, but you should know money doesn』t grow on trees, but on painstaking hands.」
The girl said, 「 Uncle, you have probably had children like me, if you children
are in the danger of kidnapping, how then do you think? …」 Finally, the kidnappers were profoundly moved by her reasonable words, and policemen easily seized them about two days later, now they do their time.
Soon after, a journalist wanted to disclose the reason why such a little young
girl is so wise upon the curious queries from the public, but the girl』s parents definitely rejected to accept visit, because they are afraid of kidnapping again as everyone would probably know her. But her main teacher briefly told that
the school often takes 「 Keep a head ring a crisis, to be wise and brave.」 as a compulsory lesson to ecate pupils, this girl are brave enough to practise
this lesson. Also, the girl said she was sort of scared but must to eat enough to keep energetic so as to fight against the kidnappers as long as she could.
Through this story, I deeply feel that the importance of ecation. Nothing is
more important than to receive ecation. Ecation, is absolutely not complete
with graation, is a lifelong study and bound to exert a great impact on our future. Further, the value of ecation. We should not ecate children only for
the aim of ecation, our foremost purpose is to fit them for life.

This place has all kinds of places where bats can live and there is a lot of food ring most of the year.

1-3 C A B
Thomas Alva Edison was a man of wonderful ability who
had the good luck to be born at a good time. In the period
just after the American Civil War the United States was
growing conditions were right for the talents of a man like
Edison.
The Edison family had come to the United States from Holland
in the early part of the l8th century． Thomas Alva the
youngest of Samuel』s seven children was born in 1847.
Thomas was an unusually curious child． Even at an early age
he loved to read and make experiments． Because he was so
dreamy and quiet a teacher once accused him of being stupid．
Thomas』s mother was so displeased by this remark that she took
her son out of school and never sent him back. She took charge
of his ecation herself and taught him reading history
science and philosophy． Edison was a very quick reader and he
remembered everything． Once he got the idea of starting at the
first shelf of a large library and reading everything in it．
But after reading through fifteen feet of books he gave up
this ambition.
In order to earn money for books and for his scientific
experiments Thomas sold vegetables from the family garden.
This work did not bring in enough money and so he began to
sell newspapers and candy on a train that ran between Port
HuronMichigan and Detroit． Because people were so eager for
the latest news about the CiviI War which was then at its
height Thomas decided in February 1862 when he was fifteen
years old to print a newspaper of his own the Weekly Herald,
in a baggage car of the train where he worked．In four years he
earned two thousand dollars from thisbusiness.
While he worked on the train young Edison continued to
experiment setting up a laboratory in the baggage car. One day
a stick of phosphorus feIl to the floor and set thecar on
fire． The conctor of the train as so angry that he threw Tom
and all his equipment off the train at the next station； he
also struck Tom causing a permanent injury which later made
him deaf in the right ear.
One day not long after he had started his newspaper, EdiSon
saw a child playing on the tracks in front of a train. He
jumped off the station platform and snatched the child from
the wheels of the train. The father who happened to be the
stationmaster was so grateful that he offered to teach Tom to
become a telegraph operator．He gave him lessons four days a
week after the station had closed for the nightand in three
weeks Edison was a better telegrapher than his teacher.
Edison was sober and independent for his age, but hen was
restless and very careless in his dress． He began to wander
from city to city and from job to job． Because his ideas were
too strange to please the men who hired him,they often asked
him to leave． During this time, he worked in Indianapolis,
Cincinnati, Memphis, and Louisville．
Edison went to Boston's where he had been promised work as
adegraph operator, mainly because of the neat handwriting in
his letter of application, When heappeared in that city, he
looked so untidy and strange that the superintendent asked him
to return later in the day to take a test in telegraphy, with
ihe idea of making ihe test so diffcult that the young man
could not possibly pass it, As the rapid message came in,
Edison realized clerks in the station were playing a joke on
him. They had arranged for the new York operator to send him a
message, faster and faster,in an effort to make Edison admit
that he could not write it down at such a rapid pace, But
Edison was not discouraged. He decided to outwit these
fellows, and he began to send a message himself. He said to
the New York operator,「Come on, don』t go to sleep．Get busy!
That ended the joke, and Edison won his job, as weil as the
title of fastest telegraph operator in the Western Union
Company.
In 1869 he borrowed some money and went to New York． During
the first three years he spent there, he nearly died of
starvation. He slept in a room belonging to a company that
sent information on stock prices to the business houses of New
York． One day the machine that printed news about gold
stopped． Six hundred banks and business houses were without
information about what was being bought and sold that day.
Edison succeeded in repairing the machine, and he was then
offered a job as manager for $300 a month． He was soon hard at
work making improvements in the machine and inventing new
parts． His Universal Printer, invented at this time, printed
full information about gold prices, instead of showing them
only by a few letters and numbers． This was his first big
success． GeneraI Marshall Lefferts, president of the Gold and
Stock Telegraph Company, bought this and several other
inventions of Edison's for forty thousand dollars.
Edison then put his new money to work． He opened a factory
in Newark,New Jersey． Soon he had over one hundred and fifty
men building machines to record stock prices, while he himself
continued to work on new ideas. At one time, he had forty-five
separate inventions in his laboratory, including several
important improvements of the telegrilph. He invented a way of
sending two messages at the same time in opposite directions,
and then a way of sending two messages at the same time in the
same direction,In 1874 he invented and sold to Western Union a
system by which four messages could be sent over one wire at
the same time, two in each direction. He also perfected a new
system for sending telegrams. These inventions saved Western
Union milhons of dollars in the cost of wires and telegraph
poles alone.
Western Union then suggested to Edison that he try to
develop a commercially useful telephone, Alexander Graham Bell
had already patented the te1ephone, but Bell's telephone could
be heard only over short distances． Edison added several
improvements, which were adopted, and are still used in the
telephone today． Western Union paid Edison one hundred
thousand dollars for his inventions.
In l876 he built a workshop and laboratory in Menlo Park,
New Jersey． He was known after that as he Wizard of Menlo
Park,because of the wonderful discoveries he made there, He
began to study the attempts of other men to invent an
incandescent electric light． He tried over and over again to
make a soft light that would be suitab1e for use in private
houses． He tested over two thousand materials before
discovering one that would work． He needed something that
would become hot and give off light when electricity passed
through it in a glass container from which the air had been
removed． He spent a hundred thousand dollars searching for the
best material． Men were sent to India, China, Brazil, and
finally, Japan, where a material was finally found.
In Jalluary,1880, the electric light was patented. Edison
then built a factory for the proction of his light in Menlo
Park, and an electric power station in New York City. But it
was fourteen years before the public really accepted the
electric light． After that, the electric light business grew
So great that Edison was able to sell his share in the
electric light for more than one million dollars.
Edison patented over one thousand separate inventions ring
his life, He never stopped trying to learn more about science
and what it could do for man, His discoveries probably
increased the wealth of the world more than those of any other
single man in history.
On October l8,1931,Edison died at the age of eighiy-four at
his home in Orange, New Jersey． Several days later, the whole
United States turned off its electric lights for one minute,
in honor of the man whose discoveries had so changed and
improved the life of people everywhere.
托馬斯.阿爾法.愛迪生是一位誕生在好時代里的天才人物。
南北戰爭以後,美國正在成長壯大,各種條件對於象愛迪生這樣有天才的人都是有利的。
愛迪生一家人在十八世紀早期從荷蘭來到美國。托馬斯·阿爾法生於1847年,是撒繆爾的七個孩子中最小的一個。
托馬斯是一個好奇心特強的孩子。即使還在幼年時代,他就愛讀書和做實驗。因為
他如此愛好空想和不聲不響,以致一位老師有一次罵他愚蠢。托馬斯的母親對這個評語很不高興,她令孩子退學不再返校。母親自己照管孩子的教育,教他閱讀,教他歷史、科學和哲學等。愛迪生讀起書來,領會得快,而且過目不忘。有一次他異想天開,要從一所大圖書館的第一個書架看起,看完書架上每一本書。但在看完了書架上十五英尺厚的書籍後,他放棄了這個野心。
為了掙錢買書和搞科學實驗,托馬斯就出售他家菜園中的蔬菜。這工作掙不到足夠的錢,所以他就開始在一列專跑休倫港、密執安和底特律的火車上賣報紙和糖果。因為人們在南北戰爭的高潮中急於了解戰爭的新情況,托馬斯在1862年2月間,他十五歲時,決定在他所工作的火車行李車上印刷他自己的報紙《先驅周報》。四年之間他從這張報紙上賺了二千美元。
年輕的愛迪生在火車上工作時繼續搞實驗,在行李車上建立了一間實驗室。有一天
一根磷棒掉在地板上使這節車廂著火。列車長十分生氣,在下一個車站把湯姆和他的所有實
驗設備都扔下了火車,還揍了湯姆一頓,造成永久性傷害,使愛迪生右耳聾了。
愛迪生在開辦他的報紙後不久,有一天望見一個小孩在火車前面的鐵軌上玩耍。他急忙從站台上跳下把小孩從火車輪子下搶救出來。這孩子的父親正好是站長,他很感激,主動
提出要教會湯姆成為電報員。他在車站夜晚關門後,每周給他上四次課,三個星期之後愛迪生 便成為比他老師更好的電報員了。
就他的年齡來說,愛迪生很穩重,有獨立性,但他見異思遷,而且對於衣著很不注意。 他開始從一個城市漫遊到另一個城市,從一個
職業換到另一個職業。因為他的想法太離奇,
不能使僱用他的人滿意,僱主們常常叫他卷鋪蓋走路。在這段時間里,他在印地安納波利斯,辛辛那提,孟菲斯和路易斯維爾等城市都工作過。
愛迪生去到了波士頓,在那裡有人答應給他電報員的工作,主要因為他的求職信中字跡寫得工整。當他在波士頓露面時,他是如此的衣冠不整,怪里怪氣,以致主管人叫他當天晚些時候去參加電報技術的考試,目的是要故意出難題,使這位青年考不及格。當電報迅速拍進來時,愛迪生意識到電報局的職工們是在和他開玩笑。他們已經和紐約市的電報員安排好,給愛迪生拍一份電報來,越拍越快,企圖迫使愛迪生承認他抄不下這么快的電報。但愛迪生沒有泄氣。他決心以智取勝,於是他開始自己拍出一份電報。他對紐約市的電報員說：「來吧,別去睡覺,使勁吧！」這就結束了這場玩笑,愛迪生也贏得了他的職位,同時還贏得了西聯電訊公司最快電報員的稱號。
1869年愛迪生借了些錢去到紐約,他在紐約的頭三年裡,幾乎餓死。他睡在一家公司的一間房子里,這公司專給紐約各商行提供股票行情。一天,那台印刷黃金行情的機器不動了。六百家銀行和商行都收不到關於那天買進賣出的商情,愛迪生把這機器修好了,因此人家給了他一個經理的職位,月薪三百美元。他很
快地就努力改進這台機器,並且還發明了許多新部件。他當時發明的萬能印刷機印出了關於金價的全部情報,而不只是以少數字母和數字來顯示行情。這是他第一個巨大的成功,金價和股票電報公司的經理馬歇爾。萊費茲將軍出資四萬美元把這台機器和愛迪生的其他幾項發明買了下來。
愛迪生就拿這新到手的錢做生意。他在新澤西州紐阿克市開了一家工廠。很快地他就雇了一百五十人製造紀錄股票行情的機器了,而他自己則繼續試驗他的一些新想法。有一段時間在他實驗室里共有四十五個不同的發明項目,包括幾項對於電報機的重要改進。他想出了一種方法,可從兩個相反方向同時各拍出一份電報,隨後又想出一種方法,可從一個方向同時拍兩份電報。1874年他發明並售給西聯電訊公司一種裝置,用了它可以在一根電線上拍發四份電報,即從每一方向可同時拍發兩份電報。他還改進了一種拍電報的新方法。使之趨於完善。這些發明,僅在電線和電線竿的成本上就為西聯電訊公司節約了幾百萬美元。
西聯電訊公司又向愛迪生建議：叫他試制一部商用電話,亞歷山大.貝爾已經取得了電話機的專利,但貝爾的電話譏只能在短距
離內聽見。愛迪生增大了幾項改進,被採用了,這些改進直到今天仍然應用在電話上。西聯電訊公司為他的幾項發明付給愛迪生十萬美元。
1876年,愛迪生在新澤西州門洛園建造了一個車間和實驗室,由於他在那裡搞出了許多奇妙的發明,以後他被人們稱為「洛園的巫師」。他開始研究別人為發明白熱電燈所作的嘗試。他一次再一次地試制一種適子家用的柔光燈。在找到,種合用的材料之前,他竟試驗了兩千種以上的材料。他需要某種可放在抽去空氣的玻璃容器內,通過電流後能變熱並發出光來的材料。他花了十萬美元尋找最好的材料。他派人去印度、中國、巴西,最後終於在日本找到了。
在1880年1月,他取得了電燈專利權。愛迪生在門洛園建造了一家生產電燈的工廠,並在紐約市建成了一座發電站。但是直到過十四年公眾才真正接受他的電燈。在那以後,電燈業發展得規模如此之大。以致愛迪生出售他的電燈股票時,竟得了一百多萬美元。
愛迪生一生中得到一千多種發明項
國的專利為了學習更多的科學並使科學為人類服務,他永不停息。他的各種發明為世界增加的財富可能比歷史上任何一個人都多。
1931年10月18月,愛迪生在新澤西州奧蘭奇城的家中去世,終年八十四歲。幾天後全美國都停電一分鍾以紀念這個以他的發明大大改變並改善了各地人民生活的人。

例 NMET2000年閱讀理解B篇
59. The writer』s purpose in writing this story is ________.
A. to tell an interesting experience
B. to show the easiest way out of difficulty
C. to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman
D. to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books
從原文中… As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be better , so I doubled everything .…I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn』t have to face Doug laughing at my work , …I don』t know who was more embarrassed(尷尬)by the whole thing Doug or me. 可看出文章敘述了一位新婚主婦按烹調書做發面失敗的尷尬經歷。 但是全文充滿了一種諷刺幽默的筆調, 文章最後一句帶俏皮感，說明主人公心情並不沉重，而是感到有點好笑，所以答案應選A。作者寫作目的是自述一次有趣的經歷。選項B肯定為錯誤答案，因為它與本文首句(The easy way out isn』t always easiest)不合; D反映作者寫作目的是解釋從書本上學烹飪的困難，也不對，因為作者並未詳細介紹主人公從書本上學烹飪是如何力不從心的; 主人公並不會天天面對這種煩惱，選項C為錯誤答案。雖然全文語境含貶義，但文章的言外之意需要讀者對作者寫作意圖做深層挖掘,若不然就會被誤導而作出錯誤判斷。
4. 根據文章的結論推斷作者的態度
作者態度、傾向是指作者對陳述的觀點是贊同、反對還是猶豫不定，對記敘或描寫的人、物或事件等是贊頌、同情、冷漠還是厭惡、憎恨。作者的這種思想 傾向和感情色彩往往隱含在文章的字里行間，或流露於修飾的詞語之中。因此，在推斷過程中，應特別注意文中作者的措辭，尤其是表達感情色彩的形容詞。
例 Why isn』t your newspaper reporting any good news?All I read about is murder， bribery()，and death.Frankly，I』m sick of all this bad news.
This author』s attitude towards the newspaper reporting is to ______ .
A. complain B. apologize
C. amuse D. inform
解析 作者一是向讀者說明這份報紙上只登載壞新聞，如兇殺和死亡等;二是在字里行間流露出自己的抱怨情緒 (對壞新聞厭惡透了)，故應選A。
5. 根據上下文的邏輯得出結論
邏輯結論是指嚴格根據文章中所陳述的事實、論點、例證等一系列論據材料進行推理，從而得出合乎邏輯的結論，而不是根據自己的經驗、態度、觀點或愛好去理解文章的內涵。做這類題時，應把握作者的寫作思路，預測下文可能發展的內容。文章可按事件發展的經過描寫，也可按因果關系, 對比關系來描寫。
例 We are in the computer age.We often see computers at work.They are especially useful in automatic control，data processing(數據處理)and solving complicated problems.And they are finding their way into the home.The part played by computers is becoming even more important with each passing day.
More and cleverer computers will continue to appear.They will run faster，have more functions and work much more skillfully.They will take over more tasks from us，helping to change the face of our world.Some people even think that sooner or later computers will replace us.
However...
Which of the following statements will best continue the third paragraph?
A. Computers will soon stop developing.
B. Many people like computers very much.
C. Computers are as clever as man.
D. I do not think computers will replace us completely.
解析 本文採用了對比關系法來描寫，前面描寫了計算機的長處，但作者用However一詞預示著將引出相反的觀點，故答案為D。
6. 結合已有的知識進行推斷
知識推斷是根據文章中所闡述的細節，運用自己 掌握的基礎知識進行分析、推敲，從而得出符合文章原義的結論的一種推斷方法。知識推斷題一般都是針對細節。解答此類題，不僅需要我們有一定的社會基礎知識，而且還需要對細節以及有關背景知識有一個充分的理解。
例 NMET1996 A篇
53. After reading the story what can we infer about the hospital?
A. It is a children』s hospital.
B. It has strict rules about visiting hours.
C. The conditions there aren』t very good.
D. The nurses and doctors there don』t work hard.
解析 本文講述了一位母親採用拖地計謀混進病房探視女兒的故事。由常識可知醫院內拖地並非醫生 護士的工作，選項D不對。C項與文中的It』s a fine hospital意思相矛盾。A項依據不充分，女兒未必都是兒童。正確答案是B。文中I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. 則暗示此規章在探視時間上是嚴格規定的，而且在實際生活中我們都知道醫院探視病人是有嚴格的制度的。

Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldn‟t pay his tailor‟s bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, I‟m that man‟s tailor!”

I‟ve loved my mother‟s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, ring her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she‟d said again, “it‟s for Elizabeth. ”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原諒) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn‟t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she‟d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

2. 選A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文內容可知，作者的母親表面上很冷漠，但心裡充滿了對作者的愛，正確答案是A。
3. 選B。從I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此詞是指兩人之間不同的看法和觀點，應選B。

賣雨傘的老人
Yesterday evening, when I went to town with my mother, we met a strange old man. It was raining hard and we had no umbrella(傘). We were trying to get into a taxi when he came up to us. He was carrying a nice umbrella and he said that he would give it to us for only a pound. He had forgotten his wallet, he said, needed taxi-fare(出租汽車費) to go back home. My mother didn’t believe what he had said at first, and asked him a lot of questions. But the old man didn’t get into a taxi. We followed(跟隨) him and found he went into a pub(小酒店) and bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound. After he drank it, he put on his hat and took up one of the many wet umbrellas there and went off with the new one. Soon after that, he sold it again.
1. The old man sold an umbrella to the writer and her mother.
2. He gave it to them for only a pound because he had forgotten his wallet and needed taxi fare to go back home.
3. The umbrella was worth more than one pound.
4. The old man sold his own umbrella.
5. He was an honest man.
參考答案與解析：
1. A 推理判斷題。雖然文中不可直接找到答案，但由後文的bought himself a glass of whiskey (威士忌) with the pound.中pound前用的是the(那) 和he sold it again中的again(又)可推斷出，作者和他母親買了那個老人的傘。
2. B 事實細節題。由文中所述這個老人收錢後並沒乘taxi回家，而是去pub喝酒可知。
3. A 推理判斷題。他要將傘賣給作者時說for only a pound中的only可以推斷，那把傘不只值1英鎊。
4. B推理判斷題。這個老頭先賣給了作者一把傘，可是他喝酒後又took up one of the many wet umbrellas there，並將其很快賣掉，由此推斷賣的並不是他自己的傘，而是別人的傘。
5. B推理判斷題。這個老人原來說賣傘乘taxi回家，事實上是上pub喝酒，後來又拿別的'雨傘去賣掉，由此可推斷他是不誠實的
為兒童制定法律的益處
In general，laws for children are a good thing.
One hundred years ago in instrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven. The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough. Both parents and teachers could do the same.
Today, there are many laws about children all over the world. Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished，others do not agree. The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska almost never punish their children. The parents don’t hit them. If the children go too far，the parents punish them by making fun of them.
Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children. American parents can spank(打……臀部) their children at home，but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school. This is also true in Germany. In contrast(對比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden. Swedish parents cannot spank their children. The children also have a special government official who works for their rights. There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

參考答案與解析：
【文章大意】通常而言，為兒童制定法律是件好事。100多年前，在工業國家，7歲大的孩子在工廠一天要工作18小時，工廠的老闆可以打小孩，家長和老師們也可以這樣做。今天世界上有很多保護兒童的法律。有些人認為兒童應該遵紀守法，否則就要受到懲罰。其他人則不同，愛斯基摩人從不懲罰兒童。如果孩子們做得太過份了，父母親用開玩笑的方式來懲罰他們。在其他地方則不同，美國的家長可以在家打孩子的屁股，但老師不能在學校打學生。德國跟美國一樣。但在瑞士任何人都不能打孩子，並有專門的政府部門來維護孩子們的權利。
16. They were treated very badly.
17. Do something too much.
18. No, he can’t.
19. None can do that.
20. A plan for ending the children’s relationship with their parents.
怎麼交朋友
Its hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time. Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接觸) other people. It's easier to make friends when you have similar interests.
Don't be afraid to show people what youre really good at. Talk about the things you like and do best. People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.
Look at people in the eye when you talk to them. That way, they'll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you're not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.
Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”. Ask lots of questions. Show an interest in their answers.
Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect (尊敬), and admire (羨慕)—not just with those who are easy to meet. Be friendly with a lot of people. That way, you'll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.
