Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues.
One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his diary, “Fair and hot ; Browne;hack overset.” That is , on a bright and hot day he went to the Brownes to attedn a barbecue, and his carriage(馬車)fell over. It shows that the barbecue had its social occasion by that time. Large animals would be roasted whole on frames over hot fires, and neighbours would be invited to dinner.
In later centuries, as settlers moved to the west, the barbecue went along with it, reaching an especially large size in Texas, where a pit (坑)for fuels(燃料) such as tree branches might be over ten feet deep. Today , the barbecue grills(燒烤架)which are fueled by charcoal(木炭) or electricity are likely to be small and easy to move , and can cook only parts of an animal at a time, but people still have barbecues out of doors and always invite their neighbours or friends over.
34.Who invented the barbecues first in history?
A.American people. B.Taino Indians. C.Spanish explorers. D.English settlers.
35.The second paragraph mainly tells us that the barbecue_______________.
A.is only held on a hot sunny day B.welcomes people who keep diaries
C.is held both indoors and outdoors D.has its social occasion for over 200 years
36.The underlined expression “ social occasion” can be best translated into______________.
A.社交功能 B.社會福利 C.社會地位 D.社會背景
37.The following are all the barbecue ways EXCEPT __________________.
A. drying meat on raised frames of sticks over fires
B. roasting a whole animal over a pit full of burning tree branches
C.cooking parts of animals over fires on grills fueled by charcoal
D.heating meat in the bright and hot daylight

We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights, and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
It stood outside a furniture(傢具)shop. “Buy it,” she said at once. “We’ll carry it home on the roof-rack(車頂架). I’ve always wanted one like that.”
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too.
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly. Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through. Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “There’s a long line of cars behind. Why don’t they overtake(超車)?”
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers(警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church(教堂). One of the officers came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said. “Do you need any more help now?”
I didn’t quite understand. “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You’ve been very kind. I live just down the road.”
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said and laughed. “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was--er, something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood why the police drove here. I smiled at the officer. “Yes, it’s a bookshelf, but thanks again.” I drove home as fast as I could.

3、Why were the police and other drivers so kind to the writer?

B.Because they didn’t think it was polite to overtake a car with a bookshelf on it.
C.Because they thought somebody in the writer’s family had died and he needed help.
D.Because they thought it was dangerous to carry a bookshelf on a car.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文學). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有經驗的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.
1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.
A. very well
B. in the way of western rule
C. in the way of his own rule
D. all of the above
2. The writer was surprised because ____.
A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse
B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse
C. the artist made his own rule
D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.
A. you don't know where to begin
B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail
C. you always asked question
D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.
A. never ask question
B. often begin at the tail
C. should write the end of the story
D. should think of the beginning

A. How to draw a horse

Now satellites are helping to forecast(預報)the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(大氣), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(氣象學家)can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.
Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare(比較)them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed ring the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.
So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead(提前).
1. Satellites travel _____________.
A. in space B. in the atmosphere
C. above the ground D. above space
2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.
A. the weather satellites can do it easily
B. clouds form there
C. the weather forms there
D. the pictures can forecast the weather
3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.
A. when they have received satellite pictures
B. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier ones
C. before they received satellite pictures
D. ring they study satellite pictures
4. Maybe we'll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.
A. one day B. two days
C. five days D. seven days or even longer
5. The main(主要的)idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.
A. taking pictures of the atmosphere
B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere
C. doing other work in many ways
D. weather forecasting

初一英語天天練：閱讀理解--煩人的蚊子
We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.
No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It』s true that male mosquito doesn』t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You』re different from the others!
If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(癢) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.
And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs.
1. 「Mosquito」 means _______ in Chinese.
A. 蒼蠅 B. 蜻蜓
C. 跳蚤 D. 蚊子
2. We know mosquitoes very well because ___________.
A. they can be found easily B. they fly here and there
C. there are many kinds of them D. they can fly
3. If the mosquito doesn』t bite you, it will ________.

C. make a lot of noise D. choose another one
4. The mosquito bites you _________.
A. when you』re asleep B. because you have choose it
C. too quickly to let you know D. but doesn』t like you
5. Which of the following sentences is wrong?
A. The itching begins after the mosquito bites you.
B. You feel terrible when the mosquito bites you.
C. Mosquitoes use blood to lay eggs.
D. All the mosquitoes don』t like to bite people for blood.
答案及解析：
1. D。 「吸血」和「會飛」是mosquitoes的兩個主要特徵。根據這兩個特點，聯系生活常識，即可選定答案。另外，讀罷全文之後，也能將其餘選項予以排除。
2. B。 「We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere.」一句是答案的出處。
3. D。 答案就在「But if she doesn』t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.」這句話之中。
4. C。 答案的依據是「…she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.」一句。
5. B。 其餘三項在文中都有明確的說明。根據上面那個小題的內容，B項明顯是錯誤的。
高考英語閱讀理解真題解析·最初的和最後的人類
導語：2014高考臨近，我為考生們整理了高考英語閱讀理解真題解析 ， 希望對大家有所幫助。
Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men, in which he looked millions of years ahead. He told of different men and of strange civilizations(文明), broken up by long 「dark ages」 in between. In his view, what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men. In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men.
However, most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted. Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years. But the next hundred? The next thousand? The next million? That』s much more difficult.
When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago, how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now, we may seem as primitive(原始的) in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us. Perhaps they will spend their days gollocking to make new spundels, or struggling with their ballalators through the cribe. These words, which I have just made up, have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can』t think of.
So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future? Here are two reasons. First, unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history, we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are. If we make the earth a poor place to live because we are careless or greedy(貪婪) or quarrelsome, our grandchildren will not bother to think of excuses for us.
Second, by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future, we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves. For example, if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming, we can think of trying it now. So set you imagination free when you think about the future.
1. A particular mention made of Stapledon』s book in the opening paragraph ________.
A. serves as a description of human history
B. serves an introction to the discussion
C. shows a disagreement of views
D. shows the popularity of the book
2. The text discusses men and women 50,000 years ago and 50,000 years from now in order to show that ________.
A. human history is extremely long
B. life has changed a great deal
C. it is useless to plan for the next 50 years
D. it is difficult to tell what will happen in the future
3. Spundels and ballalators are used in the text to refer to ________.
A. tools used in farming
B. ideas about modern life
C. unknown things in the future
D. hunting skills in the Stone Age
4. according to the writer of the text, imagining the future will ________.
A. serve the interests of the present and future generations
B. enable us to better understand human history
C. help us to improve farming
D. make life worth living(www.nmet168.com)
【答案與解析】 這是一篇由 Olaf Stapledon 所著的《最初的和最後的人類》而引出的關於幻想未來的文章。
1. B。 用排除法解答：先排除 A，因為這篇短文並非是對人類歷史進行描述;再排除C，因為作者在此文章中並非表明對不同觀點的否定;最後排除 D，因為作者並非要說明這本書的普遍意義。至於 B 項內容，正好符合這本書引導人們討論的意圖，故應選 B。
2. D。 文中提及五萬年前，處於狩獵時代的人們不可能勾勒出現代生活的畫卷;也許我們將來會被認為是我們所認為的原始人，正如石器時代的狩獵者和我們相比一樣，可知要預測較為遙遠的未來是一件困難的事情。
3. C。 從上下文可知，這四個詞彙是作者杜撰的，用以形象地表示五萬年後未知的事物和行為。
4. A。 文中提及現在即開始對未來展開想像，是基於兩點理由：人生是有限的;我們可能得到一些對我們自己切實可行的新見解。文中還提及如果我們因粗心大意和貪得無厭而把地球弄得一塌糊塗而不能居住，我們的子孫們就不難找到遷怒於我們的理由，故應選A。

初中英語閱讀知識點：閱讀理解的解題技巧
閱讀理解主要考查學生一下幾個方面的閱讀理解能力：
1、理解和把握文章主旨大意、段落大意和中心思想的能力。
2、理解和把握文章具體信息來獲取有關信息能力，及根據上下文提供的語境推測生詞詞義、句意，進而加深對文章的理解能力。
3、根據文章進行簡單的數字推算和計算的能力。
4、既要理解詞、短語、句子和文章的表層意思，更要理解其深層含義和抽象概念的能力。
5、理解全篇的邏輯關系，根據已知信息進行合理的推理判斷和預測新信息的能力。
解題技巧：
1、順序法：先讀懂文章，然後按順序答題。此方法適合內容較易於理解和記憶飛文章。
2、顛倒法：先讀試題再讀文章，這樣我們可以帶著問題有的放矢的閱讀文章並迅速發現答案。
3、交叉法：先閱讀一篇文章，把握中心大意後開始答題，對暫時確定不了的答案，可再次回讀文章的有關內容並對其進行分析、推敲後再確定。
4、排除法：對拿不準的答案，可先逐項排除自己有把握的錯誤選項，再將剩下的答案進行比較、篩選，直到確定最佳答案。
5、要尊重原材料中的信息、觀點，並在此基礎上答題;不要憑想當然、主觀臆斷答題，不要鑽牛角尖。
6、在做任務型閱讀回答問題時，要盡量簡略回答，無關信息盡量刪除。特殊疑問句的回答基本是直接信息，在原文中能直接找到答案。

;『柒』 初中英語閱讀書籍推薦
在我讀中學的時候，英語課外書籍讀的非常少，就啃英語課本，顯得特別枯燥，但是我依然喜歡英語。直到上大學，我還是執著的選了商務英語專業。也是在大學里，讀了好幾本課外英語書。
我有一個習慣，就是每次讀關於英語方面的書籍，我都會在旁邊放一本牛津詞典。只要遇到陌生單詞，我就會查查。下面這幾本書籍是我曾經比較喜歡的，也是很適合中學生看的，內容很有意思，但是最後一本要慎選。
第一本：The Secret Garden《秘密花園》
第二本：Through the Looking -Glass《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇記》
第三本：The Wind in the Willow《風語河岸柳》
第四本：The Prisoner Zenda《曾達的囚徒》
第四本：Tales of Mystery and Imagination《神秘幻想故事集》，這本書其實寫的挺好的，只是它的內容是比較恐怖的，愛好者可以看看，膽兒大的可以試試。
只要孩子喜歡(當然還應該是正能量的)，就是合適的。
喜歡哈利波特，就找英文原版來看。喜歡福爾摩斯，就讀它的原版。喜歡公主童話的，就閱讀白雪公主等等英文版。
興趣是最好的老師。不要給孩子設限。孩子喜歡，才容易堅持。
不用擔心看不懂，看得多了，慢慢就懂了。通過看喜歡的書積累詞彙，比死記硬背效果牢靠。
