A. 高二英语必修五JOHN SNOW DEFEATS"KING CHOLERA"阅读翻译

John snow defeats “king cholera”

John snow was a famous doctor in london-so expert,indeed,that he attended queen victora as her personal physician.but he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera.this was the deadly disease of its day.neither its cause nor its cure was understood.so many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem .he knew that cholera would never be co ntrolled until its cause was found.

约翰 雪是伦敦的一位非常著名的医生,确实,他作为维多利亚女王的私人医生来照顾她,但是当他想到帮助暴露在霍乱王疾病下的普通人时,他变的很有灵感,在那时,这是一个致命 的疾病,不论他的感染方式还是治愈方法都无从知晓,所以每次爆发的时候都有数以千计的惊恐的人丧生.约翰 学想要面对这个挑战并且解决这个问题,他知道霍乱的起源如果无法找到,他将无法控制.

He became insterested in two theories that poissibly explained how cholera killed people.the first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air.a cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victim.the second suggested that people absorbed these disease intotheir bodies with their meals.from the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died.

他变的对可能解释霍乱如何杀人的两个学说感兴趣起来,第一个说明霍乱在空气中繁殖,一团危险的气体漂浮着直到找到他的感染者,第二个表明人们在吃饭时把疾病吸收入身体,从胃里,这病毒很快的攻击身体并且很快导致感染者死亡.

John snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence.so when another outbreak hit london in 1854,he was ready to begin his enquire.as the disease quickly spread through poor neighbourhoods,he began to gather information.in two particular streets,the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days.he was determined to find out why.

约翰 雪怀疑第二个学说是正确的但他需要证据,所以当其他的霍乱在1854年的伦敦爆发时,他已经完成了他询问的准备工作,当这个疾病很快传播到穷邻居时,他开始去收集信息,在两个特别的街道,霍乱的爆发特别严重以致于有五百多人在十天内死亡,他下定了找出原因的决心.

First he marked on a map the exact places where all the died people had lived. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease.many of the deaths were near the water pump in broad street.he also noticed that some houses had had no death.he had not foreseen this ,so he made further investigations,he discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 cambridge street .they had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the punp.it seemed that the water was to blame.

首先他在地图上标出了死去的人曾经居住过的确切地点,这给了他一个有价值的关于疾病起源的线索,在宽街上,多死去的人的居住地邻近水泵.他也注意到了一些房子没有人死去,他没有对此深究,所以,他作了一个进一步的调查,他发现这些人们工作在剑桥七街的酒吧里,他们被给予了免费的啤酒所以不需要去喝水泵里的水,看起来,应该责备的是水.

Next,john snow look into the source of the water for these two streets.he found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from london.he immediately told the astonished people in broad street to remove the handle from the pump so that it could not be used.soon afterwords the disease slowed down.he had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas.

接下来,约翰 雪调查这两条街的水的起源,他发现这水来自被伦敦来的污水污染过的河流,他立刻告诉宽街上惊恐的人们移开水泵的把手从而使他不能被使用,在这之后,很快这疾病就减缓了,他展示了霍乱是通过细菌来传播而不是一团气体.

In another part of london,he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the broad street outbreak. A woman,whohad moved away from broad street,liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house everyday. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinkingthe water.with this extra evidence john snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the virus.

在伦敦的其他部分,他发现其他两个与宽街爆发有关的死亡病例来作为支持证据,一个从宽街搬走的女子,非常喜欢从那个水泵里打出的水,以致于每天她都让那水送到她家供他饮用,在喝过水后,她和她的女儿都死去了,用这个额外的证据,约翰 雪有能力确定地宣布是被污染的水带来了病毒.

To prevent this from happening again,john snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies be examined . the water companies were instructed not expose people to polluted water any more . finally “king cholera”was defeated.

为了阻止霍乱的再次发生,约翰 雪建议所有的供水源头都应该被检查,卖水公司被命令不许再把人们暴露在污染的水之下,最终,”霍乱王”被击败了.

Saving the Antelopes

On a freezing cold day in January 1994, Jiesang Suonandajie found what he was looking for — a group of poachers who were killing the endangered Tibetan antelope. Jiesang knew he had to move quickly. He shouted to the poachers to put down their guns. Although surprised, the poachers had an advantage — there were more of them. In the battle which followed Jiesang was shot and killed. When his frozen body was found hours later, he was still holding his gun. He had given his life to save the Tibetan antelope.

At the beginning of the twentieth century there were millions of antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. By the 1990s the number had fallen to about 50,000. The reason is simple: the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the most expensive in the world. It is soft, light, and warm — the ideal coat for an animal which has to survive at high altitudes. A shawl made from the wool (known as "shahtoosh", or "king of wools" in Persian) can sell for five thousand dollars. For poachers the profits can be huge.

Often working at night, the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much. The animals are skinned on the spot and the wool taken to India, where it is made into the shawls. From there, it is exported to rich countries in North America and Europe. The business is completely illegal — there has been a ban on the trade since 1975. But in the 1990s the shawls came into fashion among rich people. A police raid on a shop in London found 138 shawls. About 1,000 antelopes — or 2 percent of the world's population — had been killed to make them.

In the 1990s the Chinese government began to take an active part in protecting the antelopes in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve — the huge national park on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is the main habitat of the antelopes. Over the next ten years about 3,000 poachers were caught and 300 vehicles confiscated. Sometimes there were gunfights, like the one in which Jiesang Suonandajie was killed.

But today the government seems to be winning the battle. The number of poachers has fallen. The small group of officials who work in the reserve are helped by volunteers who come from all over the country, and who are ready for the difficult conditions of life at 5,000 metres. Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers. International co-operation seems to be working. Since 1997 the antelope population has slowly begun to grow again.

PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY

People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history.
First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.

To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different ecational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!
England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the instrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the instrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.
The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national government and its administration. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introced new words for food.
If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom enjoyable and worthwhile.

SIGHTSEEING IN LONDON

Worried about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison combined. To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.
There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in London. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!
The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.
The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sadly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading room was gone. But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures displayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.
The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. "Perhaps I will see the Queen?" she wondered as she fell asleep.

It doesn‘t e as a surprise to you to realizethat it makes no difference what you read or study ifyou can‘历枝t remember it. You just waste your valuabletime. Maybe you have already discovered some cleverways to keep yourself from forgetting.

One dependable aid that does help youremember what you study is to have a specificpurpose or reason for reading. You remember better what you read when you know why you‘rereading.

Why does a clerk in a store go away and leave you when your reply to her offer to help is―No, thank you. I‘m just looking‖ ? Both you and she know that if you aren‘t sure what youwant, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, ―Yes, thank you. I want a pairof sun glasses.‖ She says,‖ Right this way, please.‖ And you and she are off-both eager to lookfor exactly what you want.

It‘s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book at random***随意***, ―just look‖for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that-nothing. But if you do know what youwant, and if you have the right book, you are almost sure to get it. Your reasons will vary; theywill include reading or studying ―to find out more about‖, ―to understand the reason for‖, ―to find out how‖ .A good student has a clear purpose or reason for what he is doing.

This is the way it works. Before you start to study, you say to yourself some thing like this: ―I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America. I‘m readingthis article to find out.‖ Or, ―I am going to go over this story to see what life was like inmedieval ***中世纪的***England.‖ Because you know what you are reading or studying, you relatethe information to your purpose and remember it better.

Reading is not one single activity. At least two important processes go on at the same time.As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express yourown ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversationwith the author. If you express your ideas orally, they may sound like this:‖ Yes, I agree. That‘ *** y opinion too.‖ or ―Ummmm, I thought that record was broken much earlier. I‘d bettercheck those dates,‖ or ―But there are some other facts to be considered!‖ You don‘t just sitthere taking in ideas-you do something else, and that something else is very important.

This extra process of thinking about what you read includes judging it, relating it to whatyou already know, and using it for your own purposes. In other words, a good reader is acritical reader. One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is to distinguish***辨认***between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence***证据***. Opinions are one‘s ownpersonal reactions. Another part of critical reading is judging source***出处***. Still another part isdrawing accurate conclusions.

1.If you cannot remember what you read or study______.

A. it is no surprise

B. it means you have not really learned anything

C. it means you have not chosen the right book

D. you realize it is of no importance

2.Before you start reading, it is important______.

A. to make sure why you are reading

B. to relate the information to your purpose

C. to remember what you read

D. to choose an interesting book

3.Reading activity includes______.

A. only two reasons

B. mainly drawing exact conclusions

C. mainly learning about ideas and judging them critically

D. only distinguishing between facts and opinions

4.A. good reader is one who______.

A. relates what he reads to his own knowledge

在解题过程中，除了每做一道有把握的题后就在7个选项中将其画掉缩小范围外，通过观察语言结构也可将选择范围大大缩小，心情变得更加轻松，一般可将7个选项缩小到2～4个选项，碰对的机率大大提高。

(1)标题结构

如果考查段落标题，先看看其他标题的语言形式，同一文章中的几个段落小标题基本上是同一语言形式。如梁锋果其他标题是名词短语，该题答案也是名词短语；如果其他标题是祈使句，该题的答案也是祈使句。如：

1. The basic function of money.

Being explaining the basic function of money …

2. Money lessons.

Approach money lessons with openness…

3. 74

Begin at the grocery store. Pick out similar brands of a proct-a name brand butter and a generic(无商标产品), for example. You can show your child how to make choices between different brands of a proct so that you can save money. (2011新课标卷)

A. Wise decisions.

B. The value of money.

解析：本题要求选小标题。观察其他标题，都是名词短语，因此，本标题也应是名词短语；七个选项中只有A、B两个选项是名词短语，这样就可大大缩小选择范围；浏览两个选项，再看空后文字，发现decisions与choices大意相同(近义词)，故选A项。

(2)句子结构

如果正确选项只是某个句子的一个部分，就要看看空后这个部分是不是句子，如果是句子，看看是否有连词，如果没有连词，要选的正确选项就应是短语或是带有连词的从句。如：

Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, graal increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find. (2015新课标卷II)

A. After six days

B. For a good marathon runner

C. Before you begin your training

E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them

解析：从句式结构上看，逗号后是祈使句，没有连词，正确答案要么是带有连词的从句，要么是一个短语，只有A、 B、 C、 E四个选项符合，这样就缩小了选择范围；根据空前句中的preparation (准备)，和常识可知是“训练前”，故选C项。

4. 词语复现显神功

作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时，与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现，这种现象叫词语复现。同一个词的重复出现叫原词复现；以同义词的形式重复出现，叫同义复现；以近义词或近义表达(意思相近，表达方式不同)的形式重复出现，叫近义复现；以词义相同而词性不同的形式重复出现，叫同根复现。还有上义词与下义词的复现(alt是teacher,parent的上义词，而teacher,parent就是alt的下义词)。

词语复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段，而七选五正是考查语篇衔接，因此，利用词语复现解七选五十分管用。在近五年的8套全国新课标卷共40道题中有13道题利用这一招可直接选出答案，利用这一招可将选项缩小到2个选项的还有5道，也就是说，平均起来，几乎有一半的题仅用这一招就可解决。如：

39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. (2015新课标卷I)

A. Learn to really trust yourself.

C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

D. Remember that you can expect the best inreturn.

解析：要求选段落主题句。空后句三次出现victim一词, 七个选项中只有选项C中有victim，原词复现。将选项C“不要把自己当作受害者”代入空格处，与下文衔接紧密，故选C项。本段结构：总(总领)—分(细说)。

值得注意的是，有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现词的选项就一定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑而已。是否为正确答案，还得将含复现词的选项代入原文，看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接，只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。如：

38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. (2015新课标卷I)

A. Learn to really trust yourself.

B. It is putting confidence in someone.

C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.

解析：要求选段落主题句。不要因为选项B与空后句中都有confidence，原词复现就选B，也不要因为选项C中与空后句中都有yourself，原词复现就选C。选项A中的trust yourself与空格后的Having confidence in yourself(信任你自己)是同义复现，所以该选项是重点考虑对象；将选项A代入原文，上下句意为“学会真正地信任你自己。信任你自己有助于做出更好的选择……”语义衔接紧密，故选A。

5. 代词逻辑亦管用

我们知道，七选五就是考查上下文之间的衔接，而代词是语篇衔接的重要手段之一，故解题中要善于利用这一衔接手段。如：

Try to solve the problem. After you’re calmand you have support from alts and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 74 Even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it. (2012新课标卷)

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress isgone.

E. You need to figure out what the problemis.

F. And don’t forget about your friends.

解析：本段主题句是“Tryto solve the problem”，空后句又有solve it，其中it指什么？当然是theproblem，因此，前句中一定会出现problem一词，七个选项中只有E项符合。

根据空格句与上下句之间的逻辑关系来解题，如解释关系(对前句或对主题的进一步解释)、并列关系、转折关系、因果关系、递进关系等。如：

●Get a coach

51 , so get help. Since there are about abillion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you. (2013新课标卷II)

C. Turn your back on too many rules

D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts

E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough

解析：由空后的so(因此，引出结果)可知，空处要填的应是“要得到帮助”的原因；选项E中public speaking is tough (当众演讲是困难的)正是寻求帮助的原因，故选E项。(因果逻辑关系)

6. 篇章需要基本功

有的题利用文章或段落的“总—分”结构关系来解，也很管用，但需要以下基本功：懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构通常是主题句(总)+支撑句(分)(分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等)。如：

From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. 36 Money isa topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. (2014新课标卷II)

A. Try new things.

B. Ability is easily improved.

C. Make three or four instead.

解析：空前主题句中提到ability,money, time三个主要原因，空后提到了money与time, 所以这里应是谈ability, 故选B项。

众所周知，有问就有答，问什么就答什么。根据这一常识，对解题也很有帮助。如：

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds. (2014新课标卷I)

C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.

D. So how can we help our kids prepare forjobs that don’t yet exist?

G. Being able to communicate ideas in a meaningful way is a valuable skill.

解析：由空后By doingsth. (通过做某事)这个表示方式的介词短语可知，此空应该是一个以how开头的疑问句，故选D项。

此外，有时利用词语同现也有助于选出正确选项。所谓词语同现，就是有相互关联的词语在上下文中有同时出现的可能性。如school, teacher, student, headmaster, class, test, fall, pass,maths, learn等这些词就有可能在同一篇文章中同时出现。如：

Your children need to be deeply curious. 37 Ask kids, “What ingredients(配料) can we add to make these pancakes even better next time?”(2014新课标卷I)

A. Encourage kids to cook with you.

B. And we can’t forget science ecation.

C. We can give kids chances to think about materials in new ways.

解析：与空后句中的ingredients(配料)，pancakes(薄煎饼)可能同时出现的，只有选项A中的cook，故选A项(鼓励孩子跟你一起烹饪)。

高考英语七选五阅读解题的 十大技巧

技巧一：从细节逻辑上判断---因果关系

在做题时最重要的是要读懂空白前后的句子，明白这几句话的确切意思，然后根据意思的连贯性或逻辑性从选项中选取正确答案。在读懂意思的基础上，判断它们之间的关系来进一步确认答案。

因果关系主要指前后的句子有着原因和结果之间的关系，这种关系往往说明了前因后果或者前果后因等情况。表示因果关系的连词有as a result结果，thus/therefore因此，so (such)...如此------以至于等。

技巧二：从细节逻辑上判断---转折关系

转折关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句构成逆转逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的逆转，则空格处很有可能是个转折逻辑的句子。

表示转折关系的连接词有：However然而, nevertheless仍然，然而，不过, nonetheless尽管如此，依然，然而, still还；然而, though可是，不过，然而, yet然而, in spite of不顾，不管, at any rate无论如何，至少, in any case无论如何，不管怎样, whoever无论是谁, whatever无论什么，on the contrary正相反, in contrast与此相反, 相比之下, by contrast相反, 相比之下, in comparison比较起来，比较地, by comparison相比之下, conversely相反(地), otherwise否则；除此以外，not---but不是-----而是，as well也等。

技巧三：从细节逻辑上判断---例证关系

前后句的某句是为了证明另一句而举的例子。例证的形式多样，但就其本质而言无非是思维上的形象（例子、类比等）和抽象（观点）的辩证关系，用到的思维过程无非就是基本的归纳（从例子到观点）和推理（从观点到例子）。

技巧四：从细节逻辑上判断---递进关系

递进关系主要指英语行文中后句对前句是一种顺承逻辑关系。如果空格前后两句话之间是逻辑上的层进关系，则空格处很有可能是个递进的句子。

表示递进关系的连词有：also也, 而且, further另外(的)；, furthermore而且，此外, likewise同样地，照样地；也，又, similarly相似地，类似地, moreover而且再者，此外, in addition另外，加之, what’s more更重要的是, too也，还, either也, neither两者都不, not only…but also不但…而且等。

技巧五：从细节逻辑上判断---平列关系

表示列举关系的有：first首先, 第一, second第二, third第三…; firstly第一, 首先, secondly第二(点)；其次, thirdly第三…; first第一, next其次, then那么, 然后…; in the first place第一，首先, in the second place第二, 其次…; for one thing首先，一则, for another thing其次…; to begin with首先，第一, to conclude首先，第一等

技巧六：从词汇线索上判断---代词

英语表达中的代词出现的频率极高，代词的作用是指代前面提及的名词或形容词概念，巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题。

技巧七：从词汇线索上判断---同义词/近义词

英语前言后语之间往往有同义词、近义词、近义表达语甚至相同词汇的重复使用，这是我们解题的一个很好的判断线索。其实就其本质而言，上文讲的代词和下文将涉及的上下义词和同一范畴词都是特殊的同义/近义词。

技巧八：从词汇线索上判断---上下义词/同一范畴词

上下义词和同一范畴词就是前者包含了后者，或可以说后者是前者的一个子集。利用前后句中这样的特殊的同义关系常常可以很轻松地解题。

技巧九：从试题位置上判断---问题在段首

假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。

另外着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。

通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。

技巧十：从试题位置上判断---问题在段尾

所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。

分析与前文是转折或是对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。

如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。

段尾通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可发现前文的同义词句。

H. 高二英语必修五PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY阅读翻译

人们可能会奇怪为什么用不同的词语来描述英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰和北爱尔兰这四个国家.如果你研究英国的历史,你就能够弄明白这个问题.
首先是英格兰.威尔士于公元13世纪就同英格兰联合起来了.如今只要有人提起英格兰,你就会发现威尔士总是包括在内的.然后,于17世纪英格兰、威尔士同苏格兰联合起来,名字改为大不列颠.令人庆幸的是,当苏格兰的詹姆士国王成为英格兰和威尔士的国王时,这三个国家在无（军事）冲突的情况下实现了联合.最后在20世纪初通过同样的和平方式,英国政府尽力把爱尔兰也纳入进来,组成了联合王国.然而,爱尔兰的南部却不情愿这样并分离出去建立了自己的政府.因此只有北爱尔兰同英格兰、威尔士、苏格兰联合起来组成了联合王国,这一点从新的联合王国国旗（“联合杰克”）上就可以看得出来.
值得称赞的是：这四个国家在一些方面（比方说在货币和国际关系上）,它们的确是共同合作的,但是有些制度仍然区别很大.例如,北爱尔兰、英格兰和苏格兰在教育体制和立法体制上都存在着差异,并且它们有着各自的足球队参加像世界杯之类的比赛!
在这四个国家中,英格兰是最大的.为了方便,它大致可以划分为三个地区.最靠近法国的那个地区叫做英格兰南部,中部地区叫英格兰中部,最靠近苏格兰的那个地区叫英格兰北部.你会发现大部分人口居住在南部,但是大部分工业城市在中部和北部.虽然就全国范围来说,这些城市都不像中国的城市那样大,但是它们都有着世界闻名的足球队,有的城市甚至还有两个队!令人遗憾的是这些建于19世纪的工业城市并不能吸引游客.要找历史性的建筑你得去罗马人建造的更古老的但是比较小的城镇.在那儿你能找到更多有关英国历史和文化的东西.
