Reading strategies: When you are reading diary entries recording someone’s travels, you should look for dates and place names in the text. For example, from “24th July: Finally, we arrived in Loulan…”. You will also find facts and historical information, such as the fact that Loulan ‘was a stopping point on the famous Silk Road’. The writer will include personal feelings and opinions in the diary as well. When Ann writes about the disaster in Pompeii, she writes: “Many people were buried alive, and so was the city. How unfortunate!” We know she felt sorry about the disaster, because she used the word “unfortunate”
2011年安徽卷D篇
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and

singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.

2010江西C篇
Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551-479 B.C), and Socrates (469-399 B.C) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct

of life:” Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you. ” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
C) 64. Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A. Socrates and Confucius had much in common,
B. Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C. The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D. There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
细节理解。解析: 从文中第一段最后一句的后半句得出答案。文中说到两位哲学家孔子和苏格拉底,世界影响了他们哲学观念的塑造,同样他们的观念也影响了他们的社会。C选项最符合文意,ABC选项原文均未提及。
B) 65. Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ________.
A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D. people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
细节理解 题目: 苏格拉斯与孔子一致的观念是?
A: 众生平等 B:下层阶级应该被上层阶级管理
C: 人的目标就是追求自由和智慧 D: 己所不欲,勿施于人
解析: 第三段最后一句得出答案。ABC选项均是在陈述孔子的观点,只有B选项是在说苏格拉底的哲学理念。像孔夫子一样,苏格拉底相信上层阶级应该统治下层阶级。
C) 66. What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A. Family. B. Potential. C. Knowledge. D. Community.
细节理解 解析:从文中第三段第二句得出答案。孔子认为人出生时都是平等的,虽然有些人有过人的潜能,是知识使人与人之间不相同。
B) 67. This passage is organized in the pattern of ________.
A. time and events B. comparison and contrast
