1. 高考英语阅读理解专项训练题

在英语考试中，阅读理解占据着重要的位置。下面是我网路整理的以供大家学习。

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 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

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.

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危机 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.

2. 2018全国一卷英语阅读理解B篇分析

个人认为本文是兼有叙事风格和新闻风格的一篇文章。

通过文中几个关键信息The eight-part series (系列节目)，ITV，

Good Morning Britain等初步可以判断主人公的个人身份可能是电视台host。由此我们需要厘清一个现象，那就是选文的背景。很明显，本文选自外刊，也就是说文章是国外媒体，所以针对其当地人为主要阅读对象，写作风格和语言也是有针对性的，正如假如媒体撰文关于我们的中央电视台的某节目和节目主持人的话，我们会对相关信息有一定的背景了解，无需文章再赘述，而本文也是如此，反过来，它相对于我们这些对背景了解甚少的读者来说，某些信息就需要猜测，所以拿来作为高考题目选文，感觉上至少陌生背景信息一定不要影响学生理解文本核心信息和作答为佳。

第一题，命题人顺序命题，看第一段信息，此段信息也是本文比较关键的信息，它为下文的正确阅读理解有一定的铺垫作用。关键信息点be used to，but ，guests，cook up a storm 等可以大致确定她身份的一个变化。最重要的语篇标志词but把她的工作性质进行了转折，有助于作答第一题。所以B为答案，干扰比较大的是A，因为此项信息没有更多信息支持是否she enjoys embarrassing her guests ，因为在欧美人士的思维和语言使用中会有一种隐含的意思，有时候会有诙谐风格，所以此项内容站在国内思维角度算作是干扰信息吧。guests on the sofa坐在沙发上的特邀嘉宾

Grill这个词汇的使用是非常微妙的，词典中b义原本就是a义的转喻。这里面应该有修辞在里面。还有就是英汉词典中也明确标明词义“拷问”，对应英文释义就可以理解了。那么我们可以推断Susanna原来主持的节目是早间的一档类似于智力问答一类或者涉及需要和嘉宾进行问题交流的节目。至于具体节目内容不需要具体探究。作者在此处使用了grill这个词，非常生动，很形象又和下文中所提到的cook food等内容有一定的呼应，比较恰当。cook up a storm 这个词快不属于关键信息词，但是此处根据语境可以命制一条词义理解题目，会比较好。

接下来第二题，命题人顺序出题，此题的出题点选择的过于细微。题干中有具体指示词，回原文查找信息，然后理解细节，题干提示How，那就侧重点放于此。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，认真理解此处信息会发现Matt Tebbutt帮助她的是为她提供建议，来自于一线厨师的建议。也就是说她的节目当中可能会先预订好每日的菜谱，按照菜谱去做菜，且按照要求，做菜的成本控制在每日每户不超过5£。下文也有几处提到Matt，但是对于Matt在整个电视节目中具体做什么，从文本内容本身是无法得出的，假如推测的话，也可以有不同的推断，所以还是呼应上面的说法，本文的目标阅读对象是熟悉这一电视节目的人，所以文中没有相对于某些具体信息做细致交代，事实上命题人有可能是在回避不精确理解，打了一个擦边球，cooking matters 很难理解具体表达什么，可以理解为“烹饪方面相关事项”。而此处，命题人的阐述感觉很奇怪，但是又不能完全否定，鉴于其他干扰基本可以排除，那么答案只能锁定C。

文章行文至此，作者插入了一段对于电视节目的大致介绍。命题人在此确立了一个命题点，假如一定要归类的话，可以归类为作者“写作手法或者作者写作意图题”，从文章篇章角度看，突出强调这一段在整个篇章结构中的作用。根据上下文来看，答案很明显。因为此段内容和前后内容没有明显的总结和因果等关系。

27题标题归纳题。读懂文章就可以做出正确答案，干扰项基本设置也算合理。但是，假如从另外一个角度来说，把标题作为文章大意来使用的话，那么会感觉本文的文章风格和脉络不是特别恰当。而且D项的表达也感觉比较牵强。求证了下题源，原标题确实和本标题不一样。Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid on new cooking on a tight budget，

本文本的优点在于题材比较贴近生活，但不是中国高中生的生活，少花钱做好食物的观点也有正面价值观导向，但是因为文章写作风格的限制，核心观点并没有深入介绍和剖析。且命题点受限，命题局限。文章另外还可以挖出一两个其他题点的。

以下为原文文本和图片

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 (系列节目), 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.

Beautiful Smile and Love美丽的微笑与爱心

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.

穷人是非常了不起的人。一天晚上，我们外出，从街上带回了四个人，其中一个生命岌岌可危。于是我告诉修女们说:“你们照料其他三个，这个濒危的人就由我来照顾了。”就这样，我为她做了我的爱心所能做的一切。我将她放在床上，看到她的脸上绽露出如此美丽的微笑。她握着我的手，只说了句“谢谢您”就死了。

我情不自禁地在她面前审视起自己的良知来。我问自己，如果我是她的话，会说些什么呢?答案很简单，我会尽量引起旁人对我的关注，我会说我饥饿难忍，冷得发抖，奄龟一息，痛苦不堪，诸如此类的话。但是她给我的却更多更多—她给了我她的感激之情。她死时脸上却带着微笑。我们从排水道带回的那个男子也是如此。当时，他几乎全身都快被虫子吃掉了，我们把他带回了家。“在街上，我一直像个动物一样地活着，但我将像个天使一样地死去，有人爱，有人关心_”真是太好了，我看到了他的伟大之处，他竟能说出那样的活。他那样死去，不责怪任何

人，不诅咒任何人，无欲无求。像天使一样—这便是我们的人民的伟大之所在。因此我们相信耶稣所说的——我饥肠辘辘—我衣不蔽体—我无家可归—我不为人所要，不为人所爱，也不为人所关心—然而，你却为我做了这一切。

我想，我们算一不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的限中，或许我们是在做社会工作，但实际上，我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为，一天24小时，我们都在触摸基督的圣体。我想，在我们的大家庭里，我们不需要枪和炮弹来破坏和平，或带来和平—我们只需要团结起来，彼此相爱，将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力都带回世界。这样，我们就能战胜世界上现存的切邪恶。

我准备以我所获得的诺贝尔和平奖奖金为那些无家可归的人们建立自己的家园。因为我相信，爱源自家庭，如果我们能为穷人建立家园，我相信爱便会传播得更广。而且，我们将通过这种宽容博大的爱而带来和平，成为穷人的福音。首先为我们自己家里的穷人，其次为我们国家，为全世界的穷人。为了做到这一点，姐妹们，我们的生活就必须与祷告紧紧相连，必须同基督结为一体才能互相体谅，共同分享，因为同基督结为一体就意味着互相体谅，共同分享。因为，今天世界上仍有如此多的苦难存在……当我从街上带回一个饥肠辘辘的人时 ,给他一盘饭，一片面包，我就能使他心满意足了，我就能驱除他的饥饿。但是，如果一个人露宿街头，感到不为人所要，不为人所爱，惶恐不安，被社会抛弃—这样的贫困让人心痛，如此令人无法忍受。因此，让我们总是微笑相见，因为微笑就是爱的开端，一旦我们开始彼此自然地相爱，我们就会想着为对方做点什么了。

课堂笔记：

1.特蕾莎修女没有引用演讲的常规模式，如“Ladies and gentlemen"，而是平和地用“穷人是非常了不起的人”做开场白。一方面展示了她对这个奖项的淡定;另一方面是向在场的观众表明她及她的团体所施爱的对象群体，恰恰是常人所瞧不起甚至藐视的人群。

2.修女本有一固定单词为“nun”，特蕾莎修女选择了“sister”这个单词，表明她们慈爱团体的亲密关系如同姐妹，令现场的观众也有一种亲近感。“Sister”首字母大写，通常既可以指天主教修女，也可以指基督教会员。

3.英语中表示“禁不住做某事”的常用结构为“cannot help doing sth.; cannot help but do sth."。

4. "a Prize of Peace”指诺贝尔和平奖.诺贝尔奖是以瑞典著名化学家、峭化甘油炸药发明人阿尔弗雷德·贝恩哈德·诺贝尔的部分遗产作为基金创立的。诺贝尔奖包括金质奖章、证书和奖金支票。在遗嘱中他提出，将部分遗产(920万美元)作为基金，以其利息分设物理、化学、生理或医学、文学及和平(后添加了经济奖)5个奖项，授予世界各国在这些领域对人类作出重大贡献的学者。

5.此处的“understanding”不应简单地理解为“有理解力的，有洞察力的”。而是“富有同情心的”。这是特蕾莎修女的演讲，理解时要与她的身份吻。因此，原文中 understanding love可理解为“博爱”。

Companionship of Books以书为伴

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.

了解一个人，通常可以看他读什么书，结交什么人.因为有人以人为伴，有人以书为伴。无论是书友还是朋友，生活中我们都应该和最佳最善者常相伴。

好书可以是你最好的朋友。它始终不渝，过去如此，现在如此，将来也永不改变。它是最有耐心、最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们遭受不幸，忧伤悲痛的时候，它不会抛弃我们。它总是一如既往地亲切相待。我们年少时，好书给我们带来欢笑和知识;我们年老时，好书又给我们以亲抚和慰藉。

喜欢同一本书的人，常常发现彼此间习性也相近，就像有一时两个人因为敬慕同一个人而成为朋友一样。古时有句谚语：“爱屋及鸟。”其实，“爱我及书”这句活蕴涵更多的哲理。书是更为真诚而高尚的情谊纽带。人们可以通过共同喜爱的作家沟通思想，交流感情，产生共鸣。他们和作家情感相通，作家和他们思想相融。

哈兹利特曾经说过：“书潜移转化人们的内心，诗歌熏陶人们的气质品性。少小所习，老大不忘，恍如身历其事。书籍价廉物美，不啻我们呼吸的空气。”

好书常如最精美的宝器，珍藏着人生思想的精华，因为人生命的境界主要在于其思想的境界。因此，最好的书是金玉良言，是崇高思想的宝库，这些良言和思想若铭记于心并多加珍视，就会成为我们忠实的伴侣和永恒的慰藉。菲利普·锡德尼爵士说得好:“有高尚思想做伴的人永不孤独。”当我们面临诱惑的时候，优美纯真的思想会像仁慈的天使一样，纯洁并保卫我们的灵魂。优美纯真的思想也孕育着行动的胚芽，因为金玉良言几乎总会启发善行。

书籍具有不朽的本质，是人类努力创造的最为持久的成果。寺庙会倒塌，神像会朽烂，而书却经久长存。对于伟大思想来说，时间是无关紧要的。多年前初次闪现于作者脑海的伟大思想今天依然清新如故。他们昨日的言论和思想刊载于纸张之上，如今依然生动如初，向我们娓娓道来。时间唯一的作用是淘汰不好的作品，因为只有真正的佳作才能经世长存。

书籍介绍我们与最优秀的人为伍，使我们置身于历代伟人巨匠之间，如闻其声，如观其行，如见其人，同他们情感交融，悲喜与共.感同身受。一定程度上，我们觉得自己仿佛在作者所描绘的舞台上和他们一起粉墨登场。

即使在人世间，伟大杰出的人物也永生不朽。他们的精神被载人书册，传于四海。书是有生命力的声音，是人类至今仍在聆听的智慧之声。所以，我们永远都受历代伟人的影响。多少世纪以前的盖世英才，如今仍同当年一样，显示着强大的生命力。

课堂笔记：

1.此处的“as well as”相当于连词"and"、连接两个介词短语。

2.虚拟语气在由“whether”引导的让步状语从句中，从句谓语用动词原形，表示“不论是……还是……”同时，"whether"一词可以省去，而将“be”动词放在主语前.此从句可以变为“be it of books or of men”.

3."the same as"和"the same that"都指“和…相同”的含义，但前者强调的是类型的相同，而后者强调的是事物本身的相同。此处指的是好书本身，故而用的是"the same that".

4.句中的两个介词“by"均表示方式，表“通过”之意。省略"that”的定语从句从句"they have for a book”用于修饰“love"。连词“as”表示“正如……一样”，后接从句，用于比较。关系代词“which”引导的定语从句“which both entertain for a third”用于修饰“admiration"。

5."Love me, love my dog.”常被译为“爱屋及乌”英语中有关“dog”的谚语很多，比如:a lucky dog(幸运儿);Every dog has his day.(人人皆有得意日。);It rains cats and dogs.(下倾盆大雨。);a cat-and-dog life(争争吵吵的日子)等等。

6.威廉·哈兹利特(William Hazlitt,1778-1830)，英国散文家、评论家、画家.

7.这是由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词treasuries，从句中的过去分词结构“remembered and cherished(铭记于心并多加珍视)”用作状语，表示条件.

8.菲利普·锡德尼爵士(Sir Philip Sidney, 1554- 1586 )，英国文艺复兴时期的'著名的散文家、政治家，有很高的艺术修养.科学知识丰富.

9.此处的but为介词，表示“除……以外”的含义，what引导的从句作but的宾语。

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条著名拱廊街道上，几家高档商店刚刚开始营业。在早晨的这个时候，拱廊街上几乎空无一人。珠宝店主泰勒先生正在欣赏新布置的橱窗。他手下两名店员从早上8点就开始忙碌，这时刚刚布置完毕。钻石项链、戒指漂亮地陈列在黑色丝绒上面。泰勒先生站在橱窗外凝神欣赏了几分钟就回到了店里。

宁静突然被打破，一辆大轿车亮着前灯，响着喇叭，呼啸着冲进了拱廊街，在珠宝店门口停了下来。一人留在驾驶座上，另外两个用黑色长筒丝袜蒙面的人跳下车来。他们用铁棒把商店橱窗的玻璃砸碎。这开始发生时，泰勒先生正在楼上。他与店员动手向窗外投掷家具，椅子，桌子飞落花流水在拱廊街上。一个窃贼被一尊很重的雕像击中，但由于他忙着抢钻石首饰，竟连疼痛都顾不上了。这场抢劫只持续了3分钟，因为窃贼争先恐后地爬上轿车，以惊人的速度开跑了。就在轿车离开的时候，泰勒先生从店里冲了出来，跟在车后追赶，一边还往车上扔烟灰缸、花瓶。但他已无法抓住那些窃贼了。他们已带着价值数千镑的首饰逃之夭夭了。

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!
我一直在中国学习历史

我叫利奥。我来自澳大利亚，在中国任教两年了。我在黑龙江省的省会哈尔滨任教。这真的是一座有趣的城市，它有着非常丰富多彩的历史。这个城市受到一些欧洲的影响，且哈尔滨的许多建筑是俄式的。

自从我来到中国，我学到了很多有关我的家族史知识。虽然我是澳大利亚人，但是我的家人都是犹太人。因此对我来说得知数年前许多犹太人来哈尔滨生活真是太有趣了。当我把中国的这些事告诉我的父母时，他们很惊讶。实际上，或许第一个犹太人是在1，000多年前来到开封的，并受到宋朝皇帝的接见。

当我居住在澳大利亚时，我在学校学习历史，但是我们通常研究澳大利亚或者西方的历史。不过，当我听说我要去中国工作时，我开始学习中国历史。我已经学了两年多了。我的澳大利亚朋友说中国历史非常难理解，不过我不很同意他们的看法。我认为只要你努力学习，任何文化你都会理解的。对于像我一样的外国人来说，越了解中国历史，就越喜欢在中国生活。

我真的很喜欢在中国的时光。虽然我离北京很远，但是我肯定我会待在这直到2008年的奥运会!
