1. 高考英語閱讀理解專項訓練題

在英語考試中，閱讀理解占據著重要的位置。下面是我網路整理的以供大家學習。

一

「Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you』d win a gold medal!」

Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. 「I should never have let him go to the boy』s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I』m so stupid!」

My friend burst out laughing, and then made her 「Olympic」 ment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just ring the previous day I had called myself 「a slob」 for having some papers spread out on my desk, 「ugly」 when I left the house without makeup and 「an idiot」 when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.

In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, 「I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.」

「How many did you have on your list?」 I asked.

「Fifteen,」 she confessed. 「But then the teacher said, 『Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!』 」

My jaw dropped. 「What did you do?」

「Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, 『I could never say these things to anyone else!』 」

「And our teacher replied, 『Well, if you can』t say them to anyone else, then don』t ever say them to yourself!』 」

My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I』m God』s child, too!

God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.

1. What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?

A. The writer is a good athlete. B. The writer scolds herself too much.

C. She is encouraging the writer. D. A gold medal is not a big deal.

2. What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?

A. She has low self-esteem over some *** all things.

B. She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.

C. She is a third-grade teacher.

D. She cares too much about her appearance.

3. We can infer that the underlined word 「slob」 might be _____.

A. something untidy B. someone dangerous

C. something dirty D. someone lazy

4. What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?

A. She is ready to turn to God for help.

B. She will be kind to all children.

C. She won』t insult herself as well as others.

D. She is willing to be a child of God.

答案：

1-4 BADC

二

Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals.

A survey concted recently by sina. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is just another way of recreation, nothing serious, while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not 「out」. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthusia *** is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of the people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization殖民.

The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China』s economy. In my point of view, Christmas and other festivals celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners』 pockets are filled, the public』s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carnivals giving people pleasure and enjoyment.

The crisis危機 of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. 「The country is based on its people while the people are relied on their food」.

But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more weled.

Foreign festivals in China today are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people』s economic status.

5.From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______.

A. most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous

B. many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon

C. some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing

D. half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion

6.The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______.

A. have lost their religious background

B. are the same as those celebrated in the West

C. can give more fun than traditional Chinese festivals

D. may rece the hunger of public people

7.What is the main difference between foreign festivals and traditional Chinese ones?

A. Foreign festivals can make Chinese shop owners』 pockets full quickly.

B. The food at foreign festivals is too simple.

C. Chinese festivals always have something to do with culture.

D. Foreign festivals are romantic while traditional Chinese ones are connected with reality.

8.Which of the following may NOT be the reason why so many people accept foreign festivals?

A. People can relax themselves.

B. People can show their thanks to others.

C. Foreign festivals have longer histories than Chinese ones.

D. People have known more about the western culture.

答案：

如今，中國人對西方的節日越來越感興趣，而中國的傳統節日越來越不受人們的重視，原因何在呢?中西方兩種文化有何不同之處，西方節日在中國處於一個什麼樣的地位，接受西方的節日是對是錯?讀完這篇文章，相信我們會得到答案。

5.C。細節理解題。A項只有10.45%的人如此認為，most一詞錯誤;B項will disappear soon錯誤;D項只有17.85%的人這么認為，很明顯，half一詞錯誤;依據文章第二段倒數第二句可知C項正確。

6.A。細節理解題。依據文章第三段第三句中的「They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life.」可知，A項正確;依據第三段中的have difference from the origin可知B項錯誤;C項文章沒有進行比較;D項文章用的是the public』s hunger for happiness is filled，而非飢餓，故答案為A。

7.D。細節理解題。A項錯誤，文章第三段提及商家掙到了錢，公眾的幸福感得到了滿足，而並非外國的節日能夠讓店主的錢包迅速地鼓起來;B項too simple與原文不符;C項不是區別，兩種節日都與文化有關。依據文章第四、五兩段可知，D項正確，兩種節日的區別在於西方的節日浪漫，而中國的節日則與實際生活密切相關。

8.C。細節理解判斷題。文章沒有提及中國的節日與西方的節日相比誰的歷史更悠久，故C項錯誤。

2. 2018全國一卷英語閱讀理解B篇分析

個人認為本文是兼有敘事風格和新聞風格的一篇文章。

通過文中幾個關鍵信息The eight-part series (系列節目)，ITV，

Good Morning Britain等初步可以判斷主人公的個人身份可能是電視台host。由此我們需要釐清一個現象，那就是選文的背景。很明顯，本文選自外刊，也就是說文章是國外媒體，所以針對其當地人為主要閱讀對象，寫作風格和語言也是有針對性的，正如假如媒體撰文關於我們的中央電視台的某節目和節目主持人的話，我們會對相關信息有一定的背景了解，無需文章再贅述，而本文也是如此，反過來，它相對於我們這些對背景了解甚少的讀者來說，某些信息就需要猜測，所以拿來作為高考題目選文，感覺上至少陌生背景信息一定不要影響學生理解文本核心信息和作答為佳。

第一題，命題人順序命題，看第一段信息，此段信息也是本文比較關鍵的信息，它為下文的正確閱讀理解有一定的鋪墊作用。關鍵信息點be used to，but ，guests，cook up a storm 等可以大致確定她身份的一個變化。最重要的語篇標志詞but把她的工作性質進行了轉折，有助於作答第一題。所以B為答案，干擾比較大的是A，因為此項信息沒有更多信息支持是否she enjoys embarrassing her guests ，因為在歐美人士的思維和語言使用中會有一種隱含的意思，有時候會有詼諧風格，所以此項內容站在國內思維角度算作是干擾信息吧。guests on the sofa坐在沙發上的特邀嘉賓

Grill這個詞彙的使用是非常微妙的，詞典中b義原本就是a義的轉喻。這裡面應該有修辭在裡面。還有就是英漢詞典中也明確標明詞義「拷問」，對應英文釋義就可以理解了。那麼我們可以推斷Susanna原來主持的節目是早間的一檔類似於智力問答一類或者涉及需要和嘉賓進行問題交流的節目。至於具體節目內容不需要具體探究。作者在此處使用了grill這個詞，非常生動，很形象又和下文中所提到的cook food等內容有一定的呼應，比較恰當。cook up a storm 這個詞快不屬於關鍵信息詞，但是此處根據語境可以命制一條詞義理解題目，會比較好。

接下來第二題，命題人順序出題，此題的出題點選擇的過於細微。題干中有具體指示詞，回原文查找信息，然後理解細節，題干提示How，那就側重點放於此。看原文she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to rece food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day，認真理解此處信息會發現Matt Tebbutt幫助她的是為她提供建議，來自於一線廚師的建議。也就是說她的節目當中可能會先預訂好每日的菜譜，按照菜譜去做菜，且按照要求，做菜的成本控制在每日每戶不超過5£。下文也有幾處提到Matt，但是對於Matt在整個電視節目中具體做什麼，從文本內容本身是無法得出的，假如推測的話，也可以有不同的推斷，所以還是呼應上面的說法，本文的目標閱讀對象是熟悉這一電視節目的人，所以文中沒有相對於某些具體信息做細致交代，事實上命題人有可能是在迴避不精確理解，打了一個擦邊球，cooking matters 很難理解具體表達什麼，可以理解為「烹飪方面相關事項」。而此處，命題人的闡述感覺很奇怪，但是又不能完全否定，鑒於其他干擾基本可以排除，那麼答案只能鎖定C。

文章行文至此，作者插入了一段對於電視節目的大致介紹。命題人在此確立了一個命題點，假如一定要歸類的話，可以歸類為作者「寫作手法或者作者寫作意圖題」，從文章篇章角度看，突出強調這一段在整個篇章結構中的作用。根據上下文來看，答案很明顯。因為此段內容和前後內容沒有明顯的總結和因果等關系。

27題標題歸納題。讀懂文章就可以做出正確答案，干擾項基本設置也算合理。但是，假如從另外一個角度來說，把標題作為文章大意來使用的話，那麼會感覺本文的文章風格和脈絡不是特別恰當。而且D項的表達也感覺比較牽強。求證了下題源，原標題確實和本標題不一樣。Good Morning Britain』s Susanna Reid on new cooking on a tight budget，

本文本的優點在於題材比較貼近生活，但不是中國高中生的生活，少花錢做好食物的觀點也有正面價值觀導向，但是因為文章寫作風格的限制，核心觀點並沒有深入介紹和剖析。且命題點受限，命題局限。文章另外還可以挖出一兩個其他題點的。

以下為原文文本和圖片

Good Morning Britain』s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning, but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role — showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget. In Save Money: Good Food, she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to rece food waste, while preparing recipes for under £5 per family a day. And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she』s been able to put a lot of what she』s learnt into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam, 14, Finn, 13, and Jack, 11. 「We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,」 she explains. 「I pay £5 for a portion (一份), bur Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we』re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.」 The eight-part series (系列節目), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV』s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health procts on the market. With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week. In tonight』s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget. The team transforms the family』s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

The problem of well-known campus tourism has caused wide public concern over the recent years, There is no doubt that these campuses have thick artical aura .But campus is just a place for students ,should we make it so economical?This issue has caused wide public concern. No one can deny the fact that a person's ecation is the most important aspect of his life, we should not interrupt its quietness ,The reason why we have to make our campuses is that they can provide us with elits for society. Just like our old idioms says,While there is life, there is hope.So precious our campuses are,For a long run, we should not open the campus to public. However,some people think the advantage of making our campus open is that their special artical aura .For lack of distinct culture, some travelling places will not attract tourists any more.we should make it for all.

Before giving my opinion, I think it is important to look at the arguments on both sides.

each one is particial,in a nother word any one has its own advantages.i think No one can deny the basic fact that it is impossible for students to master make their study in a noisy campus .so i agree with the first important.ecation is the most important problem for our nation.We can't get a better ecation ,we get nothing.

In conclusion, we must take into account this problem rationally and place more emphases on the problem. This phenomenon should be given more concerns.but in any word the ecation is forever on the first place.

適合初學者的英語閱讀短文1

Beautiful Smile and Love美麗的微笑與愛心

The poor are very wonderful people.One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the Sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words "Thank you." and she died.

I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what would I say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more--she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. "I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for." And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus had said: I was hungry-I was naked-I was homeless-I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for-and you did it to me.

I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social work in the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives, in the heart of the world. For we are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours.And I think that in our family we don't need bombs and guns. to destroy, to bring peace-just get together, love one another, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other in the home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.

And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor. 1 think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, be the good new to the poor.The poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. To be able to do this,our Sisters, our lives have to be woven with prayer."They have to he woven with Christ to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because to be woven with Christ is to be able to understand, to be able to share. Because today there is so much suffering…When I pick up a person from the street, hungry, I give him a plate of rice, a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hungry. But a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted,unloved, terrified, the person who has been thrown out from society-that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable...And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

窮人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我們外出，從街上帶回了四個人，其中一個生命岌岌可危。於是我告訴修女們說:「你們照料其他三個，這個瀕危的人就由我來照顧了。」就這樣，我為她做了我的愛心所能做的一切。我將她放在床上，看到她的臉上綻露出如此美麗的微笑。她握著我的手，只說了句「謝謝您」就死了。

我情不自禁地在她面前審視起自己的良知來。我問自己，如果我是她的話，會說些什麼呢?答案很簡單，我會盡量引起旁人對我的關注，我會說我飢餓難忍，冷得發抖，奄龜一息，痛苦不堪，諸如此類的話。但是她給我的卻更多更多—她給了我她的感激之情。她死時臉上卻帶著微笑。我們從排水道帶回的那個男子也是如此。當時，他幾乎全身都快被蟲子吃掉了，我們把他帶回了家。「在街上，我一直像個動物一樣地活著，但我將像個天使一樣地死去，有人愛，有人關心_」真是太好了，我看到了他的偉大之處，他竟能說出那樣的活。他那樣死去，不責怪任何

人，不詛咒任何人，無欲無求。像天使一樣—這便是我們的人民的偉大之所在。因此我們相信耶穌所說的——我飢腸轆轆—我衣不蔽體—我無家可歸—我不為人所要，不為人所愛，也不為人所關心—然而，你卻為我做了這一切。

我想，我們算一不上真正的社會工作者。在人們的限中，或許我們是在做社會工作，但實際上，我們真的只是世界中心的修行者。因為，一天24小時，我們都在觸摸基督的聖體。我想，在我們的大家庭里，我們不需要槍和炮彈來破壞和平，或帶來和平—我們只需要團結起來，彼此相愛，將和平、歡樂以及每一個家庭成員靈魂的活力都帶回世界。這樣，我們就能戰勝世界上現存的切邪惡。

我准備以我所獲得的諾貝爾和平獎獎金為那些無家可歸的人們建立自己的家園。因為我相信，愛源自家庭，如果我們能為窮人建立家園，我相信愛便會傳播得更廣。而且，我們將通過這種寬容博大的愛而帶來和平，成為窮人的福音。首先為我們自己家裡的窮人，其次為我們國家，為全世界的窮人。為了做到這一點，姐妹們，我們的生活就必須與禱告緊緊相連，必須同基督結為一體才能互相體諒，共同分享，因為同基督結為一體就意味著互相體諒，共同分享。因為，今天世界上仍有如此多的苦難存在……當我從街上帶回一個飢腸轆轆的人時 ,給他一盤飯，一片麵包，我就能使他心滿意足了，我就能驅除他的飢餓。但是，如果一個人露宿街頭，感到不為人所要，不為人所愛，惶恐不安，被社會拋棄—這樣的貧困讓人心痛，如此令人無法忍受。因此，讓我們總是微笑相見，因為微笑就是愛的開端，一旦我們開始彼此自然地相愛，我們就會想著為對方做點什麼了。

課堂筆記：

1.特蕾莎修女沒有引用演講的常規模式，如「Ladies and gentlemen"，而是平和地用「窮人是非常了不起的人」做開場白。一方面展示了她對這個獎項的淡定;另一方面是向在場的觀眾表明她及她的團體所施愛的對象群體，恰恰是常人所瞧不起甚至藐視的人群。

2.修女本有一固定單詞為「nun」，特蕾莎修女選擇了「sister」這個單詞，表明她們慈愛團體的親密關系如同姐妹，令現場的觀眾也有一種親近感。「Sister」首字母大寫，通常既可以指天主教修女，也可以指基督教會員。

3.英語中表示「禁不住做某事」的常用結構為「cannot help doing sth.; cannot help but do sth."。

4. "a Prize of Peace」指諾貝爾和平獎.諾貝爾獎是以瑞典著名化學家、峭化甘油炸葯發明人阿爾弗雷德·貝恩哈德·諾貝爾的部分遺產作為基金創立的。諾貝爾獎包括金質獎章、證書和獎金支票。在遺囑中他提出，將部分遺產(920萬美元)作為基金，以其利息分設物理、化學、生理或醫學、文學及和平(後添加了經濟獎)5個獎項，授予世界各國在這些領域對人類作出重大貢獻的學者。

5.此處的「understanding」不應簡單地理解為「有理解力的，有洞察力的」。而是「富有同情心的」。這是特蕾莎修女的演講，理解時要與她的身份吻。因此，原文中 understanding love可理解為「博愛」。

Companionship of Books以書為伴

A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never chance. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

Men often discover their affinity to each other by the mutual love they have for a book just as two persons sometimes discover a friend by the admiration which both entertain for a third.There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.

"Books," said Hazlitt, "wind into the heart; the poet's verse slides in the current of our blood. We read them when young, we remember them when old. We feel that it has happened to ourselves. They are to be very cheap and good. We breathe but the air of books."

A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters. "They are never alone," said Sir Philip Sidney, "that are accompanied by noble thoughts." The good and true thought may in times of temptation be as an angel of mercy purifying and guarding the soul. It also enshrines the germs of action, for good words almost always inspire to good works.

Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting procts of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad procts; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.

Books introce us into the best society; they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.

The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The imperial intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.

了解一個人，通常可以看他讀什麼書，結交什麼人.因為有人以人為伴，有人以書為伴。無論是書友還是朋友，生活中我們都應該和最佳最善者常相伴。

好書可以是你最好的朋友。它始終不渝，過去如此，現在如此，將來也永不改變。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悅的伴侶。在我們遭受不幸，憂傷悲痛的時候，它不會拋棄我們。它總是一如既往地親切相待。我們年少時，好書給我們帶來歡笑和知識;我們年老時，好書又給我們以親撫和慰藉。

喜歡同一本書的人，常常發現彼此間習性也相近，就像有一時兩個人因為敬慕同一個人而成為朋友一樣。古時有句諺語：「愛屋及鳥。」其實，「愛我及書」這句活蘊涵更多的哲理。書是更為真誠而高尚的情誼紐帶。人們可以通過共同喜愛的作家溝通思想，交流感情，產生共鳴。他們和作家情感相通，作家和他們思想相融。

哈茲利特曾經說過：「書潛移轉化人們的內心，詩歌熏陶人們的氣質品性。少小所習，老大不忘，恍如身歷其事。書籍價廉物美，不啻我們呼吸的空氣。」

好書常如最精美的寶器，珍藏著人生思想的精華，因為人生命的境界主要在於其思想的境界。因此，最好的書是金玉良言，是崇高思想的寶庫，這些良言和思想若銘記於心並多加珍視，就會成為我們忠實的伴侶和永恆的慰藉。菲利普·錫德尼爵士說得好:「有高尚思想做伴的人永不孤獨。」當我們面臨誘惑的時候，優美純真的思想會像仁慈的天使一樣，純潔並保衛我們的靈魂。優美純真的思想也孕育著行動的胚芽，因為金玉良言幾乎總會啟發善行。

書籍具有不朽的本質，是人類努力創造的最為持久的成果。寺廟會倒塌，神像會朽爛，而書卻經久長存。對於偉大思想來說，時間是無關緊要的。多年前初次閃現於作者腦海的偉大思想今天依然清新如故。他們昨日的言論和思想刊載於紙張之上，如今依然生動如初，向我們娓娓道來。時間唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因為只有真正的佳作才能經世長存。

書籍介紹我們與最優秀的人為伍，使我們置身於歷代偉人巨匠之間，如聞其聲，如觀其行，如見其人，同他們情感交融，悲喜與共.感同身受。一定程度上，我們覺得自己彷彿在作者所描繪的舞台上和他們一起粉墨登場。

即使在人世間，偉大傑出的人物也永生不朽。他們的精神被載人書冊，傳於四海。書是有生命力的聲音，是人類至今仍在聆聽的智慧之聲。所以，我們永遠都受歷代偉人的影響。多少世紀以前的蓋世英才，如今仍同當年一樣，顯示著強大的生命力。

課堂筆記：

1.此處的「as well as」相當於連詞"and"、連接兩個介詞短語。

2.虛擬語氣在由「whether」引導的讓步狀語從句中，從句謂語用動詞原形，表示「不論是……還是……」同時，"whether"一詞可以省去，而將「be」動詞放在主語前.此從句可以變為「be it of books or of men」.

3."the same as"和"the same that"都指「和…相同」的含義，但前者強調的是類型的相同，而後者強調的是事物本身的相同。此處指的是好書本身，故而用的是"the same that".

4.句中的兩個介詞「by"均表示方式，表「通過」之意。省略"that」的定語從句從句"they have for a book」用於修飾「love"。連詞「as」表示「正如……一樣」，後接從句，用於比較。關系代詞「which」引導的定語從句「which both entertain for a third」用於修飾「admiration"。

5."Love me, love my dog.」常被譯為「愛屋及烏」英語中有關「dog」的諺語很多，比如:a lucky dog(幸運兒);Every dog has his day.(人人皆有得意日。);It rains cats and dogs.(下傾盆大雨。);a cat-and-dog life(爭爭吵吵的日子)等等。

6.威廉·哈茲利特(William Hazlitt,1778-1830)，英國散文家、評論家、畫家.

7.這是由關系代詞which引導的非限制性定語從句，修飾先行詞treasuries，從句中的過去分詞結構「remembered and cherished(銘記於心並多加珍視)」用作狀語，表示條件.

8.菲利普·錫德尼爵士(Sir Philip Sidney, 1554- 1586 )，英國文藝復興時期的'著名的散文家、政治家，有很高的藝術修養.科學知識豐富.

9.此處的but為介詞，表示「除……以外」的含義，what引導的從句作but的賓語。

The expensive shops in a famous arcade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been working busily since 8 o'clock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been beautifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.

The silence was suddenly broken when a large car, with its headlights on and its horn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at the wheel while two others with black stockings over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves was struck by a heavy statue, but he was too busy helping himself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid was all over in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it moved off at a fantastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. They had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.

皮卡迪利大街附近的一條著名拱廊街道上，幾家高檔商店剛剛開始營業。在早晨的這個時候，拱廊街上幾乎空無一人。珠寶店主泰勒先生正在欣賞新布置的櫥窗。他手下兩名店員從早上8點就開始忙碌，這時剛剛布置完畢。鑽石項鏈、戒指漂亮地陳列在黑色絲絨上面。泰勒先生站在櫥窗外凝神欣賞了幾分鍾就回到了店裡。

寧靜突然被打破，一輛大轎車亮著前燈，響著喇叭，呼嘯著沖進了拱廊街，在珠寶店門口停了下來。一人留在駕駛座上，另外兩個用黑色長筒絲襪蒙面的人跳下車來。他們用鐵棒把商店櫥窗的玻璃砸碎。這開始發生時，泰勒先生正在樓上。他與店員動手向窗外投擲傢具，椅子，桌子飛落花流水在拱廊街上。一個竊賊被一尊很重的雕像擊中，但由於他忙著搶鑽石首飾，竟連疼痛都顧不上了。這場搶劫只持續了3分鍾，因為竊賊爭先恐後地爬上轎車，以驚人的速度開跑了。就在轎車離開的時候，泰勒先生從店裡沖了出來，跟在車後追趕，一邊還往車上扔煙灰缸、花瓶。但他已無法抓住那些竊賊了。他們已帶著價值數千鎊的首飾逃之夭夭了。

I've been studying history in China

My name is Leo. I'm from Austral， and I've been teaching in China for two years. I teach in Harbin， the capital of Heilongjiang Province. This is really an interesting city with a very colorful history. There is some European influence in the city， and a lot of the buildings in Harbin are Russian.

Since I came to China， I've been learning a lot about my family history. Although I'm Australian， my family is Jewish. So it was very interesting for me to learn that a lot of Jews came to live in Harbin many years ago. My parents were so surprised when I told them about this in China. In fact， the first Jews probably came to Kaifeng more than a thousand years ago， and were welcomed by the Song Emperor.

When I lived in Australia， I studied history at school， but we usually studied Australian or western history. However， when I heard that I was going to work in China， I started studying Chinese history. I've been studying for over two years now. My friends in Australia said that Chinese history was very hard to understand， but I don't really agree. I think if you study hard， you'll be able to understand any culture. For a foreigner like me， the more I learn about Chinese history， the more I enjoy living in China.

I really enjoy my time in China. Although I live quite far from Beijing， I'm certain I wil be here for the Olympic Games in 2008!
我一直在中國學習歷史

我叫利奧。我來自澳大利亞，在中國任教兩年了。我在黑龍江省的省會哈爾濱任教。這真的是一座有趣的城市，它有著非常豐富多彩的歷史。這個城市受到一些歐洲的影響，且哈爾濱的許多建築是俄式的。

自從我來到中國，我學到了很多有關我的家族史知識。雖然我是澳大利亞人，但是我的家人都是猶太人。因此對我來說得知數年前許多猶太人來哈爾濱生活真是太有趣了。當我把中國的這些事告訴我的父母時，他們很驚訝。實際上，或許第一個猶太人是在1，000多年前來到開封的，並受到宋朝皇帝的接見。

當我居住在澳大利亞時，我在學校學習歷史，但是我們通常研究澳大利亞或者西方的歷史。不過，當我聽說我要去中國工作時，我開始學習中國歷史。我已經學了兩年多了。我的澳大利亞朋友說中國歷史非常難理解，不過我不很同意他們的看法。我認為只要你努力學習，任何文化你都會理解的。對於像我一樣的外國人來說，越了解中國歷史，就越喜歡在中國生活。

我真的很喜歡在中國的時光。雖然我離北京很遠，但是我肯定我會待在這直到2008年的奧運會!
