火印阅读测试题（9篇）

1.火印阅读测试题 篇一

最近，我读了曹文轩叔叔的《火印》，里面主要讲了一匹马的故事。有一天，坡娃上山砍柴，发现一群狼围着一匹小马驹，坡娃千辛万苦救出了小马驹，坡娃把小马驹带到了野谷峪。从此他两就生活在一块，坡娃给小马驹起了个名字叫“雪儿”。

雪儿在野谷峪呆了不久，战争爆发了，雪儿被日军强行带走了，在雪儿身上烙下了一枚日本军营的火印。日本军官河野看上了雪儿，想让雪儿成为他的坐骑，河野想尽办法，雪儿还是没有成为河野的坐骑。河野生气地告诉雪儿：“我家世世代代养马，从来没有见过雪儿这样的畜生，还是让它去拉大炮吧!”说完，河野就离开了雪儿。

经历战火和苦难之后，坡娃终于将雪儿领回野谷峪，雪儿的那烙火印成了他的耻辱，所以它一回到野谷峪，就低着头。

有一天，坡娃领着雪儿去吃草，发现一名解放军正躺在草地上睡觉，经过几次聊天后，坡娃给那位解放军起了一个外号叫“小哥”。自从小哥说要借雪儿去打仗时，雪儿才慢慢地抬起了头，它朝天上有决心地嘶鸣了一声……

读完这本书之后，我觉得火印就是日本帝国主义侵略战争永远印在我们中国人民心里，抚不平，挥不去。

2.火印阅读测试题 篇二

一、基础题,从字词句开始,夯实积累

对于阅读理解,一些教师往往抓住了理解,却忽略了基础,对于字词总是强调学生自主学习,“放手”导致了学生的基础知识薄弱。因此,在阅读教学中,教师应该在阅读测试题的指导下强化学生对基础知识的学习。

1. 生字题型的“启示”

从考查重点来看,生字阅读理解题可以分为三类。第一类是字音,重点考查多音字,如《但愿人长久》短文阅读中的“埋(mán mái)怨”;还有一些容易混淆的字音,如《开天辟地》短文阅读中的“万顷(qǐng qǐn)良田”。第二类是字形,重点考查字形辨析,如《九寨沟》短文阅读中的“倒(映印)”和“银花四(贱溅)”等等。第三类是字义,侧重于让学生联系上下文理解,如《徐悲鸿励志学画》短文阅读中的题目:“给带点的字选择正确的解释。清:A.寂静B.清楚C.一点不留D.清贫。”在具体阅读教学中,教师也要注意教学生字的方法,努力营造良好的教学生字氛围,让学生把比较枯燥的生字学习变得有趣、有味。

2. 词语题型的“启示”

词语是构成句子的要素。在一般情况下,词语考查重点分为两类:一类是词义,如《李时珍夜宿古寺》阅读训练中的题目:“写出下列词语的意思。端详:___。若有所悟:___。”在这样的题目中,最好的解题方法是联系上下文,多读几遍相关句子,然后用自己的语言叙述就行。另一类是选择题型的考查方法,如《天安门广场》阅读训练中的题目:“请把正确的序号填在下面的括号里。‘沸腾’在文中的意思是()。A.液体内部及表面发生汽化的现象;B.比喻情绪高涨。”对于这类题目,我们可以“偷巧”一点,即把两个选择答案都放到相应短文中,读一读,看看通顺与否。在阅读教学中,教师应该重视词语教学,从基础开始,强化积累运用。

二、理解题,在运用中延伸,实现有效迁移

阅读与理解是紧密结合的。在阅读教学中,教师要先让学生阅读,并引导他们理解相应内容。另外,教师要立足于文本,结合学生实际,引导学生在训练中实现有效迁移,从而生成精彩课堂。

1. 段落结构,整体感知

在测试中,命题者往往选择某一片段对学生进行考查,但教师可以管中窥豹,由段落推广到整篇课文。如《天安门广场》中“每当节日到来……”这一段短文分析中就有这样的题目:“这一自然段共写了两层意思,请写下来。”这样的题目考查的是句与句之间的关系,其中“总分”结构是考查重点。对于这样的题型,解题方法是读题,再读题,一句一句地读,读懂句与句之间的联系。在阅读教学中,教师要给学生普及段落结构常识,让学生对此有所了解,有所认识,不至于在测试中束手无策。

2. 细节线索,细致揣摩

细节,往往是阅读教学中学生需要重点研读的部分。研读细节描写部分可以有效烘托课堂氛围,便于学生开展与文本、与作者乃至与编者的对话,加深对文本内容的理解,对主题的把握。如《虎门销烟》短文训练中的“用小标题概括销烟的过程。撒盐巴→()→()”,这道题就重点考查了具体销烟流程的细节。在阅读教学中,教师需要引导学生紧扣细节进行分析,从而串起整个课堂教学,为学生感悟文本人物、把握文本主题奠定基础。

三、开放题,阅读指向表达,强化自主体验

对学生创新思维的培养,建议采用自主、合作、探究的模式进行教学,体现在阅读考查中,则相应表现为开放题型。对此,在阅读教学中,教师应该鼓励学生大胆表达,巧妙表达。

1. 拓展思维,丰富人文积淀

客观题与主观题有根本区别。就主观题而言,学生应该加强对知识的积累。如《但愿人长久》短文训练中有这样的一道题:“古诗词中还有许多与月亮有关的诗句,请你写出这样的诗句:__,_________。”在阅读教学中,教师应该深入研究教材,围绕文本内容,为学生拓展课外知识。一来可以丰富学生的人文常识,增加人文积淀,提升语文素养;二来学生也可以在考试时取得好成绩。

2. 强化自主,丰富自我体验

在阅读教学中,教师要尽可能强化学生的口语表达能力,尊重他们的主观体验。如《虎门销烟》短文训练中“虎门销烟这一壮举,打击了侵略者的气焰,长了中国人的志气。假如此刻你就站在林则徐的面前,你会对他说:_________”;还有《诚实与信任》短文训练中“相信同学们一定收获了不少,你从中明白了_______道理”,等等。这样的题目虽然没有固定的答案,但有主观倾向。对于这样的题目,教师应引导学生联系短文阅读内容来写。教师可以引导学生在解题中“言之有据”,即尽量从原文中寻找答案,同时还要能够“自圆其说”,即指导学生根据问题说出自己的见解。

3.火印的读书笔记 篇三

一个名叫坡娃的男孩从狼嘴里救下了一匹良马，取名“雪儿”，然而可耻的日本鬼子看中抢走了它，长官河野企图驯服雪儿，但雪儿没被驯服，好几次差点要了河野的命，最终“雪儿”沦落成拉炮车的马，在那个马的地狱里，雪儿遭受了母子分离，种种欺凌，到最后日本鬼子被消灭，雪儿重新回到了坡娃身边。

就是这样的一只有思想、有人格的马深深地触动了我的神经，雪儿有思想，有喜怒哀乐，在被河野强行夺走孩子的时候，它哀鸣着;在被河野用各种手段制服时，它发怒了;当黑狗死了的时候，它流泪了，在坡娃和它玩耍时，它快乐的奔跑、欢叫。雪儿已经不是一匹马了，它通人性、有感情、有智慧、简直和人一样具有灵性，不，它胜过人，在那个兵荒马乱的年代，又有多少人禁不住诱惑、或苦难当了汉奸。可是，雪儿知道，它的主人只有野狐峪的坡娃，无论河野怎么训练，它都不愿意被驯服，我被它这种精神深深折服，可雪儿却因为骨肉分离而性情大变。

雪儿有魄力，河野让它做一连串“悬崖勒马”的高难度动作时，雪儿一直不肯配合，河野不断催促，雪儿竟然向悬崖跑去，看到这儿，我的心都不禁提到了嗓子口，马上就要冲出悬崖了，难道雪儿要和河野同归于尽!河野不得不紧急跳下了马，雪儿也停下了脚步!雪儿宁死也不被河野制服，我深深地佩服着。

4.《火印》读后感 篇四

《火印》，相信初见本书的书名，你们一定有着和我一样的感觉，书名很奇怪，为什么会叫《火印》?代表什么意思呢?细细翻阅全书慢慢就知道了。这本书讲述一个让我流下感动的眼泪，让我开心的大笑，让我热血沸腾的故事。故事发生在一个偏远的小山村“野狐峪”。一个名叫坡娃的孩子在十二岁那年从狼群中救回来一匹小马驹，取名“雪儿”。它和坡娃一家过着宁静幸福的生活。可是战争爆发了，雪儿被日军带走，征用。经过纷飞的战火和无尽的苦难，雪儿终于回到了它的家，与坡娃重聚。但是日军在它身上烙下的火印，却永远也去不掉，这种屈辱让雪儿在村民面前深深地低下了头……直到最后，中国军队和日军打仗时它才终于在村民面前挽回了尊严。看到这里，你也许有所感悟，有些明白火印是什么了吧。细细品味，我却觉得曹文轩老师在本书中所说的“火印”，其实有两层含义：第一层是指日军把雪儿抓回去后用烙铁在雪儿身上作出的标记;第二层含义是指深深印刻在中国人民内心永远不能忘记的历史。这是我对火印的理解!

从书中，我读出了主人公坡娃和他的雪儿之间深厚的友谊与真挚的情感;读出了日本侵略者的残忍与蛮横;读出了中国人民为了自己的祖国不惜牺牲生命的勇敢精神;更读出了战争的残酷和作者内心世界对和平的向往与呼唤。

5.读《火印》有感 篇五

雪儿是坡娃从狼群口中夺来的马驹。它与坡娃、瓜灯、草灵三个孩子幸福地生活在宁静的田园、山坡之中。

“砰！砰！”日本人抢走了全村所有的马、驴和骡，雪儿也在其中。雪儿被烙上了火印，但是不肯接受军官河野的驾驭。因此，它沦为拉炮的战马；遭受了种种不幸。

日军跟中国军队交战后，大炮将野狐峪炸成了废墟，三个孩子一死两伤，村民死伤无数。中国军队击最终击退日军，坡娃领走雪儿，交给中国骑兵小哥。战场上小哥大显身手，全靠雪儿杀死河野。

《火印》一书在动感的战争场面之外还有情感线索十分感人。我格外喜爱三个孩子，因为他们没有因为日军戒备森严，武器先进而退缩，敢一起去县里走上次马之路。我觉得他们三个虽败犹荣。我更爱雪儿，它没有因为河野的抽打而屈服，反而用尽自己的点滴力量与河野奋斗不息，后来还默契地帮助小哥复仇杀死河野。在我的眼里，它不是一匹马，而是一个人。它明明有火印，但人们听了它的故事，不但不说它是日本马，还高度赞赏它的志气。

6.商务英语阅读测试中的阅读策略 篇六

商务英语作为一种专门用途英语, 在全球经济一体化和商业活动频繁的今天越来越凸显它的重要性。而在商务英语技能中, 阅读无疑是获取商务信息, 进行商务交流的重要手段。商务英语测试中阅读所占的比重最大也证明了这一点。那么如何提高商务英语阅读能力, 尤其是如何在商务英语阅读测试中掌握一定的阅读策略进而更有效的进行阅读测试成为很多将来有志于从事商务工作现在面临商务英语测试这一道关口的学生所关心的问题。拟就商务英语阅读测试中的阅读策略问题进行一粗浅的分析, 希望对该领域的研究和实践能有所帮助。

2 普通商务英语阅读测试中的阅读模式及对商务英语阅读测试的启示

商务英语阅读策略探讨的是, 在商务英语语言环境下, 有效提高商务英语阅读能力的策略。而实际上, 商务英语并不是英语的变种, 只是英语在商务环境下的应用。普通英语阅读策略同样适用于商务英语阅读的语境, 只是需要学生针对具体的情况进行具体的运用。

2.1 普通阅读理论模型

阅读理论将阅读模型分为三种:自下而上型, 自上而下型, 相互作用型。自下而上型的阅读模式是, 读者依赖文章提供的语言信息, 从单词、短语到句子再到篇章, 最后对文章内容做到整体理解的过程。自上而下型的阅读模式是, 读者首先是借助头脑中已有的对文章主题相关背景知识的理解, 对文章内容进行预测和判断, 再通过文章具体的文字信息不断的与原来头脑中预测的信息进行比较, 综合, 判断, 最后达到对文章的整体理解的过程。相互作用型是两种模式的综合。提出相互作用模型的RUMELHART认为, 在任何层次的阅读中, 两种模式都可以同时出现。当学生欠缺语言知识, 他就会自然的多以预测为主, 而当他对文章背景知识所知甚少时, 他就会更多的依赖于自下而上的阅读模式。

2.2 对商务英语阅读测试的启示

普通英语的三种阅读模式同样适用于商务英语阅读, 结合商务英语的语言特点, 给我们的启发是:

首先:增强学生自下而上的的阅读能力就要重视商务英语词汇量的扩大和长难句的解读能力的提高。这是语言能力的体现也是提高阅读测试能力的根本保证。通过扩大商务英语的词汇量和解读句子的能力可以增强学生在进行自下而上阅读过程中的能力。

同时, 加强商务英语语篇体裁特点的了解可以增强学生自上而下阅读过程中推理, 猜测的能力。商务英语的文章有特定的主题和文章体裁模式, 以及特定的语篇结构, 学生在了解了这些特点之后, 通过题目或者通过上下文的衔接, 标志性的词语就可以对文章有一大致的了解, 这样就可以避免单纯通过语言知识来理解文章, 从而加快了解读文章的能力。同时, 了解一定的商务英语背景知识, 使学生通过商务知识的角度对文章有一个整体的预测对提高学生英语阅读速度的提高也有很大的帮助。

3 普通英语阅读策略在商务英语阅读测试中的具体运用

3.1 预测

预测是阅读策略中的重要环节, 同样的, 在商务英语阅读测试中, 预测也是提高阅读速度和效率的一个重要步骤。预测通常包括对文章主题, 题材, 结构等方面的预测, 对于商务英语的文章来讲, 由于商务英语在语篇模式, 上下文衔接等方面有着显著的特点, 学生就可以通过这些重要的线索对文章整体内容进行预测, 从而加快阅读理解速度。

3.2 猜测词义

一篇文章中难免会遇到一些生词, 在这个时候要鼓励学生利用已有的知识线索来进行猜词。猜词的方法通常包括构词法, 例如词根、词缀等, 或者利用上下文的语义线索, 按照同义, 反义, 近义的逻辑关系来猜词。商务英语的词汇有着很强的专业性, 读者在利用上下文或者构词法猜词的同时, 也要注意商务英语词汇的专业性, 切忌望文生义。

3.3 略读

略读是一种快速浏览的阅读方式, 目的是提取文章大意, 读者在阅读时可能会跳跃式的阅读以掌握文章大意, 而忽略一些具体的细节。商务英语文章的整体逻辑性较强, 读者在时间有限的情况下, 可以略读或跳读句与句之间, 段与段之间的表示逻辑关系的一些词语来整体把握文章的脉络, 例如注意上下文的连接词, but, however, whereas, 表示转折, 而as, because, since表示原因, 还有表示文章内容先后顺序的first, second, third等, 通过关注这些词, 并对文章的段首, 段尾的或主体部分的一些关键词进行扫读, 读者就会对文章的大致内容有了一个整体的了解。

3.4 寻读

在商务英语阅读测试中有一类题型即是事实细节题, 这类题型要求考生确认事实细节, 通常以what, where, why, when, who来提问, 在解答这部分题型时, 学生就可以运用寻读的手段, 即, 带着问题在文章中快速的寻找答案, 而忽略掉与此无关的内容。运用这种方法, 读者就可以在最短的时间内获得解题所需要的最大的信息量。

4 结论

商务英语无论在词汇, 篇章方面都有其独特的行文特点, 读者在进行商务英语阅读测试的备考中可以练习运用上述的阅读策略来提高阅读效率, 加快阅读速度。但是, 我们也应看到, 商务英语阅读能力的增强最根本的保障仍旧是学生水平的切实提高, 例如扩大商务英语专业词汇的词汇量, 积累商务英语环境下的专业知识等。相信在学生具备了一定的商务英语水平的基础上, 再施以阅读技巧和策略的强化, 商务英语阅读应试能力一定会有所提高。

7.火印读书心得500字 篇七

这本书是以一匹叫雪儿的马贯穿全文，文中通过许多感人的故事体现了雪儿有灵性、有尊严、有智慧。

当我合上书的那一刻，我的思绪开始翻滚着。

大年初一的清晨，本以为雪儿被日本人抓去后就再也回不来了，但当坡娃打开门的那一瞬间，惊呆了，雪儿竟静静地站在家门口，它是从日本马场偷跑出来的，竟然认识回家的路。看，它是一匹多有智慧的马。

雪儿曾一度对自己身上被烙上的火印而抬不起头来，它深深地知道，那将是多么屈辱的事，它不愿意做日本人的战马，在战争的最后那一刻，雪儿懂得报仇的时刻到了，它载着小哥不顾自己身上的伤痛，对日本军官河野穷追不舍，以它超凡的智慧、惊人的速度和顽强的意志力将河野逼入悬崖，最终为自己赢回了尊严，取得了胜利，从此它在村民面前抬起了头。在文中，雪儿虽然只是一匹马，但它却有着跟人一样的灵性和尊严。

在生活中，其实动物跟人类之间，相处久了，也会有感情，也会心灵相通。

警犬就是很好的例子。它靠着自己的嗅觉、听觉，来帮助警察。在电视上，曾多次报道过警犬在地震中救出被困的人;在毒犯身上找出藏匿的。

我也曾看到过因主人突发疾病，躺在地上动弹不得，是狗跑出家门，发出求救的信号，挽回了主人的生命。

种.种的事例说明，只要人们像对待亲人一样悉心地照顾、爱护身边的动物，那它们也一样会成为人类的好朋友和好帮手。

8.火印读后感500字 篇八

书中讲述了一匹小马驹和主人坡娃之间的故事。雪儿是坡娃从狼群中救回来的一匹小马驹，它和坡娃一家开心地生活着。不幸战争爆发了，雪儿被日军强征走，身上烙下了一枚日本军营的火印。

日本军官河野看中了雪儿，想要训练它成为自己的坐骑。但雪儿不肯接受河野的驾驭，它心中唯一的主人是野狐峪的坡娃。由于雪儿的不屈和对抗，它沦为拉炮的战马，不得不忍受母子分离，遭受种.种凌辱。同时遭遇不幸的还有日军炮火攻击下的野狐峪的村民。

历经战火和苦难之后，坡娃终于将雪儿带回了野狐峪，但雪儿身上的火印，成为它终身的耻辱。雪儿在村民们面前深深地低下了头，读到这里，我不免为此惋惜。但事态发生了大转变，雪儿成为了中国战马，奋勇杀敌，最后它高昂着头，用一招悬崖勒马诱使河野掉下悬崖，立下了大功，获得了赢回尊严的机会。

雪儿在书中是一匹马，但它是一匹有人格的马，甚至在我心目中它是一个人，因为它有尊严，有思想，有智慧，有悲悯。它在被河野驯服的时候，坚决不听河野的任何指示，就像一匹没用的普通马。它只想家，想野狐峪，想草灵、瓜灯。它在被烙下火印的那一刻，没有选择嘶鸣，选择挣扎，而是沉着的面对。或许它明白，一切的挣扎都没用，自己一定会有赢回尊严的机会。

9.阅读理解试题选萃与解析 篇九

Why can some people sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet, while others are awakened by the lightest sound?

To find the answer, sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12 self-described deep sleepers. After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers, they took part in a three-night study in the university's sleep laboratory. The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room. But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed.

During the night, the deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds, like street traffic, toilets flushing, an ice machine dispensing and an airplane flying overhead. Next door, the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves.

As expected, all of the participants slept relatively well, but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions. Some of the sleepers didn't wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70 decibels (分贝) ; others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels.

The researchers discovered that the difference in a sleeper's reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called “sleep spindles''. A sleep spindle is a burst of high-frequency brain activity coming from deep inside the brain during sleep. The source of the spindles is the thalamus, a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex (皮层) .

Before the study, the Massachusetts researchers theorized (推理) that the spindles are the brain's way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep. They found that the sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise.

Scientists already know that most people become lighter sleepers with age, most likely because older people experience less “slow wave sleep”, which is the deepest stage of sleep. People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age. But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in, the number of sleep spindles still predicted their risk for awakening because of noise.

More research is needed, but the findings suggest that a better understanding of sleep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders. For instance, future studies may try to determine whether diet, exercise or other behaviors may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night.

1. Some participants can sleep well through loud noises mainly because .

A. their brains don't respond to outside noises

B. their brains react differently to noises

C. they adapt to the environment quickly

D. they don't pay attention to the monitors

2. Scientists believe that the key to affecting deep sleep is .

A. sleep spindles B. stages of sleep

C. sleep disorders D. sensory information

3. It can be learned from the passage that .

A. the older a deep sleeper becomes, the lighter his sleep must be

B. the more“slow wave sleep” one experiences, the deeper sleep one has

C. the more frequently a sleeper's brain works, the less information it sends

D. the deeper sleep people have, the more likely they will be awakened by noise

4. From the passage we can predict .

A. more factors in influencing sleep spindles may be discovered

B. more solid sleepers will take part in relative experiments

C. sleep spindles will be applied to changing one's behaviors

D. deep sleepers will probably enjoy a more healthy life

“Choo, Choo!” Here comes the Chunnel train. Get aboard if you want to learn more about this underground transportation system. This is an unusual form of transportation, because it is a tunnel that trains travel through and not an actual form of transportation.

The Chunnel is actually the English nickname for the Channel Tunnel. In French, it is called le tunne lsous la Manche. It is a rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover. It connects Cheriton in Kent, England with Sangatte in northern France. It is the second longest rail tunnel in the world.

Did you know that the British and the French had a race whi1e they were building the Chunnel? The race was to see who could get to the middle of the tunnel first. The British won by a little bit. It took 15, 000 workers over seven years to dig the tunnel. The tunnel was finished in 1994.

The completed Chunnel cost about $ 21 billion. But it all paid off, because it became very popular, very quick. Millions of people use it. Now it is getting even more popular.

There are three complete tunnels in the Chunnel. The two outside ones are the passenger trains. The small inner one is a guidance train. The guidance train is not used for transportation. Each track is exactly parallel to each other.

There are four different train systems in the Chunnel. The Eurostar is a high speed passenger service that connects London, Paris, Brussels, and Lille. The Eurotunnel shuttle is a rail ferry service. These shuttles carry cars and vans. These are railcars that allow drivers to drive their vehicles on and off. There are also two Eurotunnel goods service trains.

While travelling to Newcastle in the UK to visit relatives, I arrived in London to find my plane transfer north to Newcastle had been cancelled due to deteriorating weather conditions.

The airline was helpful—offering me a choice between a night in a hotel or a six-hour bus ride to my destination. With no indication as to whether a flight to Newcastle would happen in the next two days, I chose the bus ride.

I stored all my baggage in the luggage compartment of the bus, thinking I would not need anything on the journey.

The young lady sitting beside me could see how tired I was and asked me if anyone would be meeting me on my arrival.

I realised that I had left my cell phone in my bag and had no way to contact my relatives. They would be waiting for me at the airport about five hours before the bus got to Newcastle, not knowing what had happened. Without hesitation, the young lady offered me the use of her cell phone.

When the bus made a rest stop, she asked me if I was getting out. I replied that I wouldn't as I still had sandals on, and bare feet weren't ideal for the cold weather, When she got back on, she'd bought me some tea and a packet of sweets to eat.

When we eventually arrived in Newcastle, the woman checked that someone was there to meet me. I asked her to wait a moment while I got my purse to repay her, but when I looked up she had gone. I was unable to even verbally thank her.

1. We learn from the passage that .

A. the author had little money to buy the air ticket from London to Newcastle

B. the author probably flew to London from a warm place

C. the author's relatives missed meeting her in London

D. the author's cell phone wasn't functioning in Britain

2. Which of the following information is of great importance to the author's relatives?

A. Why the flight was called off.

B. Why the flight was delayed.

C. Where the author was put up.

Accurately forecasting the weather is a very hard thing to do. There are many parts of weather dynamics—the study of how water and air in motion cause weather patterns—to consider. Even the best forecast can be changed by a small weather disturbance halfway around the world. Today's forecast use complex computer models, weather instruments, and detailed analyses of daily observations to predict the weather. However, it hasn't always been that way. People, like your grandparents, use folklore and proverbs to help forecast the weather. They remembered what conditions caused changes and observed the factors associated with weather: atmospheric and cloud conditions, temperature, winds, and reactions of plants and animals. Many people believe that this way of forecasting weather is accurate more often than modem forecasting.

Grandma's aching joints might indicate the arrival of a low-pressure system. She might also observe the geese flying lower than usual, confirming the low-pressure system. Finally, she might feel dampness on her skin, a sign of high humidity (湿度) . Based on these three observations, grandma might warn that a storm is brewing.

Joints and nerves can indicate dropping air pressure. Dissolved gases in the blood form bubbles under low air pressure. This causes pain in joints and nerve endings. Geese and other birds respond to changes in air pressure by adjusting how high they fly. In the fair, calm weather of a high-pressure system, the birds fly higher than in the stormy weather associated with a low-pressure system.

Nature provides other clues to changing weather. A decrease in air pressure causes deer and elk to come down from the mountains to look for shelter. Some animals feed more than usual. The higher humidity before a storm causes some insects to leave the trees and gather near the ground. Some flowers close so rain doesn't get inside them. In winter, rhododendron plants curl up to protect themselves as the temperature drops.

Several of the sayings apply in particular areas of the world. Here are some of them.

■Early thunder, early spring.

■Rainbow in the morning gives you fair warning.

■When teeth and bones and bunions ache, expect the clouds to fill the lake.

■When high clouds and low clouds do not match together, prepare for a blow and a change in the weather.

“People should have one meat-free day a week if they want to make a personal and effective sacrifice that would help deal with climate change, ” the world's leading authority on global warming has told The Observer.

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chair of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that people should then go on to reduce their meat consumption even further.

Pachauri, who was re-elected the panel's chairman for a second six-year term last week, said diet change was important because of the huge greenhouse gas emissions (排放) and other environmental problems associated with raising cattle and other animals. “It was relatively easy to change eating habits compared to changing means of transport, ” he said.

The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation has estimated that meat production accounts for nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions. These are produced during the production. For example, ruminants (反刍动物) , particularly cows, give off a gas called methane, which is 23 times more effective as a global warming agent than CO2.

Pachauri can expect some opposite responses from the food industry to his advice, though last night he was given unexpected support by Masterchef presenter and restaurateur John Torode. “I have a little bit and enjoy it, ” said Torode. “Too much for any person is bad. But there's a bigger issue here: where the meat comes from. If we all bought British and stopped buying imported food, we'd save a huge amount of carbon emissions.”

Professor Robert Watson, the chief scientific adviser for the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs, said government could help educate people about the benefits of eating less meat, but it should not regulate. “Eating less meat would help, there's no question about that, ” Watson said.

However, Chris Lamb, head of marketing for pig industry group BPEX, said the meat industry had been unfairly targeted and was working hard to find out which activities had the biggest environmental impact and reduce them. “Some ideas were contradictory, ” he said. “For example, one solution to emissions from cattle and other animals was to keep them indoors, but this would damage animal welfare. Climate change is a very young science and our view is there are a lot of simple solutions being proposed.”

1. What is directly related to global warming?

A. Consumption of meat.

B. Growth of cattle.

C. Methane from ruminants.

D. Processing of meat.

2. Who holds a view opposite to the others' in the passage?

A. Rajendra Pachauri. B. John Torode.

C. Robert Watson. D. Chris Lamb.

3. It is implied in the passage that .

A. we should try to keep away from cattle

B. ruminants should not be left outdoors

C. the meat industry will soon close down

D. we must do our duty to save the earth

4. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. Less meat, slower global warming

B. More animals, more greenhouse gas

C. Less imported food, better our environment

D. Greater diet change, smaller climate change

This book does have some good information, but it does not talk at all about eating organic food, grass fed beef, free-range eggs, etc. The poisonous pesticides (杀虫剂) and artificial hormones (激素) in our society have a huge effect on our health and some illnesses probably wouldn't even exist if it weren't for them.

Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.

That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?

Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I read on, it also said “a person who is good and noble.”

That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I say, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.

Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.

The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院) . Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become “heroes”.

Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.

1. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. Why Should You Be A Hero?

B. What Exactly Is A Hero?

C. I Am A Hero

D. Everyone Is A Hero

2. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is .

A. both polite and respectful

B. both brave and fearless

C. both thoughtful and considerate

D. both cute and kind

3. The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to .

A. the wonderful card the writer received

B. the action of sending the card

C. the fact that the sender saved the writer

D. the fact that the sender was a true friend

4. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behavior of a hero?

A. Holding a door open for someone.

B. Sending someone a wonderful card.

C. Keeping writing many stories for children.

D. Being kind to someone who has a hard time.
