Yet,when I looked out on the white blanket that covered   the ground,I couldn’t help but smile a bit.It was so beautiful.It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass.In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow (雪犁) on the road,the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside,enjoying their way off from school.The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past.I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue,building snowmen,making snow angles,running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children.Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore (疼痛的).I turned up my head,stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it.It tasted so fresh and clean.It tasted like youth,like joy and like love. May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children.And may you always give your love,your light,your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.4.What was the author’s first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily?A.He was upset.B.He was happy.C.He was thankful.D.He was moved.5.What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article?A.Appreciate every snowstorm you spend with your family.B.Snow brings both fun and trouble.C.Memories can change our opinion.D.We should stay young  at heart.6.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1,we can know that “　　　”.

A.forget to appreciate something attractive on the spotB.find it hard to learn skills of taking good picturesC.find a good way to keep things in their mindsD.have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology8.According to Ruskin,what should travellers do to best express their appreciation and desire for something beautiful?A.To speak it out openly.B.To photograph it instantly.C.To purchase it directl y.　D.To paint it immediately.9.From the fourth paragraph,we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be　　　. A.considerate and determinedB.active and adventurousC.creative and thoughtfulD.sensitive and ambitious10.The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is cl osest in meaning to “　　　”. A.appreciated B.criticizedC.favoured D.ignored〚导学号44994022〛 参考答案 阅读理解提升练(八)　词义猜测题A【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南非博茨瓦纳的三个值得旅游的地方。1.B　主旨大意题。文章的第一段就点出了主题,之后介绍了南非的博茨瓦纳的非常值得旅游的三个地方,故选B项。2.C　词义猜测题。根据句中的Besides the regular flooding和句中的increase可知,雨量大大地增加了这个地区的水域面积。故drastically的意思与greatly接近,故选C项。3.B　细节理解题。根据第五段的“The park is also  very famous for its elephants and is considered to be the largest area for elephants in Africa.”可知,要想看大象就要去乔贝国家公园,故选B项。B【语篇导读】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己在大雪后外出看到的雪景以及孩子们雪中玩闹的场景,文章最后表达了一些祝福。4.A　推理判断题。根据第一段“...all I wanted to do was to stay in bed.Still,I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside.”可知作者虽不想起床但是还得起床,所以他应该是沮丧的,故选A项。5.D　推理判断题。根据最后一段“May you always feel young in spirit,no matter how old or achy your body may be.May you always delight in the simple joys of life.”可知作者想要告诉大家要保持年轻的心情,尽情享受生活,故答案为D项。6.C　句意理解题。根据此句的本意:我一想到如果雪不停我就得铲雪,我背部就疼。可知只有C项意思最为相近,故选C项。C【语篇导读】 本文是一篇评论性文章。英国评论家Ruskin对现代游客只忙于拍照而没有真正去欣赏美的事物这一现象进行了分析,鼓励人们要有创造力,多思考,要善于发现美好的事物。7.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place.”可知,人们常常忙于拍照而忘了去欣赏世界的美,故选A项。8.D　推理判断题。根据第三段的“But,in Ruskin’s eyes,there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see,regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.”和第四段的“Ruskin said,‘Drawing can teach us to see,to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly.’...”可知,Ruskin认为,表达对美好事物的欣赏的最好办法是把它画下来,故选D项。9.C　推理判断题。根据第四段“...‘In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes,we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.’”可知,Ruskin鼓励我们要有创造力,多思考,故选C项。10.B　词义猜测题。根据上文可知,Ruskin鼓励我们要有创造力,多思考,要善于发现美 好的事物。此处指Ruskin谴责现代游客的盲目和匆忙,没有好好欣赏美。deplore“谴责,哀叹”与B项同义,故选B项。
