英语母亲书桌阅读理解及答案
A. 2008年高考英语江苏卷 - 阅读理解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.
杰克已经有一段时间没见到这位老人了。大学、工作和生活本身都成为了障碍。事实上，为了追求梦想，杰克在全国到处飞。繁忙的生活让杰克几乎没有时间思考过去，也没有时间和妻儿在一起。他在为自己的未来而努力，没有什么能阻止他。
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.
在电话里，他的母亲告诉他：“贝尔瑟先生昨晚去世了，葬礼在周三举行。”当他静静地坐在那里回忆童年时光时，记忆就像历史影像在脑海中闪现。
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“杰克，你听见了吗？”
“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.
杰克说：“哦，对不起，妈妈。是的，我听见了。我很久没想起他了。对不起，但我真的以为他几年前就去世了。”。
“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，他没有忘记你。每次我见到他，他都会问你过得怎么样。他常常回忆起你在他家院子里度过的许多日子，”妈妈告诉他。
“I loved that old house he lived in,” Jack said.
“我喜欢他住的那栋老房子，”杰克说。
“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.
“杰克，你知道吗，你父亲去世后，贝尔瑟先生介入进来，确保你的生活中有男人的影响，”她说。
“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。如果没有他，我就不会从事这个行业。他花了很多时间教我他认为重要的东西。妈妈，我会参加葬礼的。”杰克说。
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.
尽管杰克很忙，但他信守诺言。赶上了下一班飞往家乡的航班。贝尔瑟先生的葬礼规模不大，平平淡淡。他没有自己的孩子，他的亲戚大多数都去世了。
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，杰克和他的妈妈再次路过隔壁的老房子，这正是他所记得的。每一步都有记忆。每一张照片，每一件家具……杰克突然停了下来。
“What’s wrong, Jack?” his Mom asked.
“怎么了，杰克？”他妈妈问。
“The box is gone,” he said.
“盒子不见了，”他说。
“What box?” Mom asked.
“什么盒子？”妈妈问。
“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.
“他把一个小金盒锁在书桌上。我肯定问过他一千遍里面装的是什么。他总是告诉我是他‘最珍视的东西’，”杰克说。
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.
它不见了。除了盒子，房子的一切都和杰克记忆中的一模一样。他认为是贝尔瑟家族的人拿走的。
“Now I’ll never know what was so valuable to him,” Jack said sadly.
“现在我永远也不知道是什么对他如此有价值，”杰克悲伤地说。
Returning to his office the next day, he found a package on his desk. The return address caught his attention.
第二天回到办公室，他在办公桌上发现了一个包裹。回信地址引起了他的注意。
“Mr. Harold Belser” it read.
上面写着“哈罗德·贝尔瑟先生”。
Jack tore open the package. There inside was the gold box and an envelope. Jack’s hands shook as he read the note inside,
杰克撕开了包裹。里面有一个金盒子和一个信封。杰克读到里面的纸条时，双手颤抖，
“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.
“我死后，请把这个盒子和里面的东西转交给杰克·伯内特。这是我一生中最珍视的东西。”信上贴着一把小钥匙。他的心怦怦直跳，泪水盈眶。杰克小心地打开箱子。他在里面发现了一块漂亮的金怀表。他用手指慢慢地抚摸着精美的封面，打开了它。
Inside he found these words carved: “Jack. Thanks for your time! Harold Belser.”
他发现里面刻着这样一句话：“杰克。谢谢你的时间！哈罗德·贝尔瑟。”
“Oh. My God! This is the thing he valued most …”
“哦，天哪！这是他最珍视的东西……”
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.
杰克拿着手表看了几分钟，然后打电话给他的助理，取消了接下来两天的会议。“为什么？”助理问道。
“I need some time to spend with my son,” he said.
“我需要一些时间和儿子在一起，”他说。

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 (专家) 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?

;C. 英语阅读理解的题目及答案
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.

难句译注
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.
这是作者杜撰的名字，含有讽刺内涵。Mr. Seldom Seen 很少见到的先生。说明公司很难见到他。那么做他的助手就是她替他干一切活。星期五姑娘。星期五是《鲁滨逊漂流记》中的一个人物，是鲁滨逊的仆人。这位星期六休假日来上班的姑娘，当然得干主人的一切活。
[参考译文] 她不会满意做“很少见”先生的助手，也不愿做助理副主席的星期五姑娘，那位姑娘是唯一的一个星期六来上班的人。
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.
[结构简析] she believed 形式上插入语，实际 Men 句是它的宾语从句。In order that 义：为的是。目的.状语。
[参考译文] 她认为男人为妇女创制了一个持家操劳的奴隶角色，为的是男人可以获得事业和机遇参与决定重大的社会抉择。
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.
[结构简析] 两句句子。前一句的宾语为主从句，后为并列句。
[参考译文]于是，激进女权主义者认为综观历史，妇女一直是被压迫被奴役，被非人化，主要原因就是因为男人就是想剥削他的妻子，孩子们的母亲。有时是有意的剥削；有时是由于没有透过生活的假象看到问题的实质，是无知所致。
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.
[参考译文] Betty Friedan， Gloria Steinem，Germaine Greer，以及其他许多激进女权主义者坚持不懈的强行灌输（推行）他们的思想，幻想并吸引了国内无数最聪容，最能干的妇女。
写作方法与文章大意
文章论述“争取女权运动的妇女”，也可以说是女权运动的第二次浪潮。作者从历史上的女权运动激进分子观点谈起：妇女为男人所奴役，剥削。因为男的想独揽决策社会的大权，到女子觉醒，认识自己和自己的力量，把男人视作她们共同的敌人。最后是目前向缓冲发展的趋势，也是作者观点。
答案祥解
1. A. 第二次女权运动的浪潮。在第一段，一般性描述之后（见难句译注1），作者画龙点睛的指明“她就是我所指的第二次女权运动浪潮的象征。她是决心要成为的现代妇女的代表。”以后的文章就是围绕女权运动而写的。见文章大意。
B. 妇女的独立精神。这只是女权运动中部分内容。 C. 妇女团结。第三段一开始就提到“激进女权主义者发现了紧密团结在一起的力量。”也是女权运动的部分内容。
D. 团结运动。
2. C. 有点不赞成。这在最后两段表现的最为明显：“许多女权运动组织迅速发展证明这些激进争取女权的人触到了某些活跃的神经。（非常活跃）。 Ms 杂志就在《生活》停刊那年诞生。可是唤起觉醒的会议常常成为这些活动的目的。性别歧视（歧视妇女）也常常颠倒过来并且提倡憎恨男人。许多人曾是男权至上主义者。”“因此，察觉向平和中的趋向发展并不难。提高觉悟的做法越来越被认为是独立与成就的方式，而不是庆贺成就本身的仪式。真正的独立是能够通过能力，通过寻找一份事业，通过应用教育加以实现。要记住，几十年来，妇女教育被认为是无用的。”如果是倒数第二段是作者对激进分子有点批评，不满的态度的表现，那么最后一段就是作者的观点：独立是靠塌实工作，提高妇女自身的能力来实现的。
A. 他全心全意的拥护。 B. 他强烈反对。不完全如此。 D. 他完全忽视不顾。
3. A. 好斗的。（斗争性强的）。第三段第三句：“在最近5年中女权运动首要方面常常具有这种好斗的阶级斗争调子。”
B. 野心的。 C. 进步的。 D. 独立的。
4. D. 男人是她们共同的敌人。第三段：“激进女权运动分子在紧密团结中找到了力量。第一次她们认识了自己，她们可以探索自我，意识到她们的力量，把男人及其制度视为她们共同的敌人。”
A. 妇女为男人们所剥削。这在第三段中讲到，见难句译注3。这是妇女观点中具体内容之一。也是为什么说男人及制度是她们共同敌人的原因之一。 B. 妇女不受男人支配。 C. 男人剥夺了女人生活。

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.

In warm water, there is a kind of sea mammal1 called gongs. They live a comfortable life. They have no natural enemies and never fight2.Dugongs lived in the oceans ring the age of dinosaurs. They have funny faces and no front teeth! Their teeth grow only along the sides of their mouth. Some think they are ugly. Only their mothers may love them, but as we know, they are important and helpful for us!
Dugongs only eat plants. They swim slowly so that they can eat the sea grass. They often dig down into the sand and eat sea-grass roots. Dugongs relax ring the day. During most of the night, they eat. They eat noisily and you can often hear the sounds of their chomping teeth.
Dugongs give birth to only one baby every three to five years. They take the newborn baby to the surface of the water so that the baby can take its first breath of air. It stays with its mother for two years and sometimes rests on its mother’s back. Dugongs feed their young with milk.
Dugongs can live for about 60 years, but every year more and more people move to near the warm coasts and rivers which are also the homes to gongs. They have fewer places to live and feed.

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.
托马斯.阿尔法.爱迪生是一位诞生在好时代里的天才人物。
南北战争以后,美国正在成长壮大,各种条件对于象爱迪生这样有天才的人都是有利的。
爱迪生一家人在十八世纪早期从荷兰来到美国。托马斯·阿尔法生于1847年,是撒缪尔的七个孩子中最小的一个。
托马斯是一个好奇心特强的孩子。即使还在幼年时代,他就爱读书和做实验。因为
他如此爱好空想和不声不响,以致一位老师有一次骂他愚蠢。托马斯的母亲对这个评语很不高兴,她令孩子退学不再返校。母亲自己照管孩子的教育,教他阅读,教他历史、科学和哲学等。爱迪生读起书来,领会得快,而且过目不忘。有一次他异想天开,要从一所大图书馆的第一个书架看起,看完书架上每一本书。但在看完了书架上十五英尺厚的书籍后,他放弃了这个野心。
为了挣钱买书和搞科学实验,托马斯就出售他家菜园中的蔬菜。这工作挣不到足够的钱,所以他就开始在一列专跑休伦港、密执安和底特律的火车上卖报纸和糖果。因为人们在南北战争的高潮中急于了解战争的新情况,托马斯在1862年2月间,他十五岁时,决定在他所工作的火车行李车上印刷他自己的报纸《先驱周报》。四年之间他从这张报纸上赚了二千美元。
年轻的爱迪生在火车上工作时继续搞实验,在行李车上建立了一间实验室。有一天
一根磷棒掉在地板上使这节车厢着火。列车长十分生气,在下一个车站把汤姆和他的所有实
验设备都扔下了火车,还揍了汤姆一顿,造成永久性伤害,使爱迪生右耳聋了。
爱迪生在开办他的报纸后不久,有一天望见一个小孩在火车前面的铁轨上玩耍。他急忙从站台上跳下把小孩从火车轮子下抢救出来。这孩子的父亲正好是站长,他很感激,主动
提出要教会汤姆成为电报员。他在车站夜晚关门后,每周给他上四次课,三个星期之后爱迪生 便成为比他老师更好的电报员了。
就他的年龄来说,爱迪生很稳重,有独立性,但他见异思迁,而且对于衣着很不注意。 他开始从一个城市漫游到另一个城市,从一个
职业换到另一个职业。因为他的想法太离奇,
不能使雇用他的人满意,雇主们常常叫他卷铺盖走路。在这段时间里,他在印地安纳波利斯,辛辛那提,孟菲斯和路易斯维尔等城市都工作过。
爱迪生去到了波士顿,在那里有人答应给他电报员的工作,主要因为他的求职信中字迹写得工整。当他在波士顿露面时,他是如此的衣冠不整,怪里怪气,以致主管人叫他当天晚些时候去参加电报技术的考试,目的是要故意出难题,使这位青年考不及格。当电报迅速拍进来时,爱迪生意识到电报局的职工们是在和他开玩笑。他们已经和纽约市的电报员安排好,给爱迪生拍一份电报来,越拍越快,企图迫使爱迪生承认他抄不下这么快的电报。但爱迪生没有泄气。他决心以智取胜,于是他开始自己拍出一份电报。他对纽约市的电报员说：“来吧,别去睡觉,使劲吧！”这就结束了这场玩笑,爱迪生也赢得了他的职位,同时还赢得了西联电讯公司最快电报员的称号。
1869年爱迪生借了些钱去到纽约,他在纽约的头三年里,几乎饿死。他睡在一家公司的一间房子里,这公司专给纽约各商行提供股票行情。一天,那台印刷黄金行情的机器不动了。六百家银行和商行都收不到关于那天买进卖出的商情,爱迪生把这机器修好了,因此人家给了他一个经理的职位,月薪三百美元。他很
快地就努力改进这台机器,并且还发明了许多新部件。他当时发明的万能印刷机印出了关于金价的全部情报,而不只是以少数字母和数字来显示行情。这是他第一个巨大的成功,金价和股票电报公司的经理马歇尔。莱费兹将军出资四万美元把这台机器和爱迪生的其他几项发明买了下来。
爱迪生就拿这新到手的钱做生意。他在新泽西州纽阿克市开了一家工厂。很快地他就雇了一百五十人制造纪录股票行情的机器了,而他自己则继续试验他的一些新想法。有一段时间在他实验室里共有四十五个不同的发明项目,包括几项对于电报机的重要改进。他想出了一种方法,可从两个相反方向同时各拍出一份电报,随后又想出一种方法,可从一个方向同时拍两份电报。1874年他发明并售给西联电讯公司一种装置,用了它可以在一根电线上拍发四份电报,即从每一方向可同时拍发两份电报。他还改进了一种拍电报的新方法。使之趋于完善。这些发明,仅在电线和电线竿的成本上就为西联电讯公司节约了几百万美元。
西联电讯公司又向爱迪生建议：叫他试制一部商用电话,亚历山大.贝尔已经取得了电话机的专利,但贝尔的电话讥只能在短距
离内听见。爱迪生增大了几项改进,被采用了,这些改进直到今天仍然应用在电话上。西联电讯公司为他的几项发明付给爱迪生十万美元。
1876年,爱迪生在新泽西州门洛园建造了一个车间和实验室,由于他在那里搞出了许多奇妙的发明,以后他被人们称为“洛园的巫师”。他开始研究别人为发明白热电灯所作的尝试。他一次再一次地试制一种适子家用的柔光灯。在找到,种合用的材料之前,他竟试验了两千种以上的材料。他需要某种可放在抽去空气的玻璃容器内,通过电流后能变热并发出光来的材料。他花了十万美元寻找最好的材料。他派人去印度、中国、巴西,最后终于在日本找到了。
在1880年1月,他取得了电灯专利权。爱迪生在门洛园建造了一家生产电灯的工厂,并在纽约市建成了一座发电站。但是直到过十四年公众才真正接受他的电灯。在那以后,电灯业发展得规模如此之大。以致爱迪生出售他的电灯股票时,竟得了一百多万美元。
爱迪生一生中得到一千多种发明项
国的专利为了学习更多的科学并使科学为人类服务,他永不停息。他的各种发明为世界增加的财富可能比历史上任何一个人都多。
1931年10月18月,爱迪生在新泽西州奥兰奇城的家中去世,终年八十四岁。几天后全美国都停电一分钟以纪念这个以他的发明大大改变并改善了各地人民生活的人。

例 NMET2000年阅读理解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
从原文中… 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(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me. 可看出文章叙述了一位新婚主妇按烹调书做发面失败的尴尬经历。 但是全文充满了一种讽刺幽默的笔调, 文章最后一句带俏皮感，说明主人公心情并不沉重，而是感到有点好笑，所以答案应选A。作者写作目的是自述一次有趣的经历。选项B肯定为错误答案，因为它与本文首句(The easy way out isn’t always easiest)不合; D反映作者写作目的是解释从书本上学烹饪的困难，也不对，因为作者并未详细介绍主人公从书本上学烹饪是如何力不从心的; 主人公并不会天天面对这种烦恼，选项C为错误答案。虽然全文语境含贬义，但文章的言外之意需要读者对作者写作意图做深层挖掘,若不然就会被误导而作出错误判断。
4. 根据文章的结论推断作者的态度
作者态度、倾向是指作者对陈述的观点是赞同、反对还是犹豫不定，对记叙或描写的人、物或事件等是赞颂、同情、冷漠还是厌恶、憎恨。作者的这种思想 倾向和感情色彩往往隐含在文章的字里行间，或流露于修饰的词语之中。因此，在推断过程中，应特别注意文中作者的措辞，尤其是表达感情色彩的形容词。
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 作者一是向读者说明这份报纸上只登载坏新闻，如凶杀和死亡等;二是在字里行间流露出自己的抱怨情绪 (对坏新闻厌恶透了)，故应选A。
5. 根据上下文的逻辑得出结论
逻辑结论是指严格根据文章中所陈述的事实、论点、例证等一系列论据材料进行推理，从而得出合乎逻辑的结论，而不是根据自己的经验、态度、观点或爱好去理解文章的内涵。做这类题时，应把握作者的写作思路，预测下文可能发展的内容。文章可按事件发展的经过描写，也可按因果关系, 对比关系来描写。
例 We are in the computer age.We often see computers at work.They are especially useful in automatic control，data processing(数据处理)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 本文采用了对比关系法来描写，前面描写了计算机的长处，但作者用However一词预示着将引出相反的观点，故答案为D。
6. 结合已有的知识进行推断
知识推断是根据文章中所阐述的细节，运用自己 掌握的基础知识进行分析、推敲，从而得出符合文章原义的结论的一种推断方法。知识推断题一般都是针对细节。解答此类题，不仅需要我们有一定的社会基础知识，而且还需要对细节以及有关背景知识有一个充分的理解。
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 本文讲述了一位母亲采用拖地计谋混进病房探视女儿的故事。由常识可知医院内拖地并非医生 护士的工作，选项D不对。C项与文中的It’s a fine hospital意思相矛盾。A项依据不充分，女儿未必都是儿童。正确答案是B。文中I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. 则暗示此规章在探视时间上是严格规定的，而且在实际生活中我们都知道医院探视病人是有严格的制度的。

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(易动感情的)”. 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(原谅) 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(折叠) 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.
根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

2. 选A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文内容可知，作者的母亲表面上很冷漠，但心里充满了对作者的爱，正确答案是A。
3. 选B。从I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此词是指两人之间不同的看法和观点，应选B。

卖雨伞的老人
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(伞). 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(出租汽车费) 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(跟随) 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.
参考答案与解析：
1. A 推理判断题。虽然文中不可直接找到答案，但由后文的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)可推断出，作者和他母亲买了那个老人的伞。

为儿童制定法律的益处
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(对比), 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!

参考答案与解析：
【文章大意】通常而言，为儿童制定法律是件好事。100多年前，在工业国家，7岁大的孩子在工厂一天要工作18小时，工厂的老板可以打小孩，家长和老师们也可以这样做。今天世界上有很多保护儿童的法律。有些人认为儿童应该遵纪守法，否则就要受到惩罚。其他人则不同，爱斯基摩人从不惩罚儿童。如果孩子们做得太过份了，父母亲用开玩笑的方式来惩罚他们。在其他地方则不同，美国的家长可以在家打孩子的屁股，但老师不能在学校打学生。德国跟美国一样。但在瑞士任何人都不能打孩子，并有专门的政府部门来维护孩子们的权利。
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.
怎么交朋友
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(接触) 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 (羡慕)—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.
