　　(2024·北京海淀區(qū)期末練習(xí))Sarah came running in. “Look what I found.”O(jiān)ver the top of the paper I was reading came a crispy long object that caused me to jump. It was a snake skin that had been shed by one of our many garden snakes.

　　“Isn't it beautiful？” said my wide-eyed seven-year-old daughter.

　　I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really wasn't that beautiful，but I have learned never to appear uninterested with children. They see only good quality and excellence in the world until educated otherwise.

　　“Why does it do this？” Sarah asked.

　　“Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves.” I explained. “Why do they need to renew themselves？” Sarah asked.

　　I suddenly remembered an article on this page many years ago where the writer was expressing her concept of renewal. She used layers of paper over a wall to describe how we hide our original selves, and said that by peeling away those layers one by one, we see the original beneath. “We often need to shed our skins and those coatings that we cover ourselves with.” I said to my now absorbed daughter. “We outgrow some things and find other ones unwanted or unnecessary. Tills snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too crinkly (起皺的) for him, and he probably doesn't think he looks as smart in it as he once did.”

　　Sarah was getting the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand, although slightly, that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, our rooms, schoolwork and creativity, and see what we need to keep and what we need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth.

　　“I see, Dad.” said Sarah and jumped off my lap and ran off.

　　I hoped she would remember this. That often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture with which we cover ourselves year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless or unnecessary; or at best, store the ones thrown away as mementoes (念想) of our promotion to a better vitality or spirit.

　　1．At the first sight of the snake skin, the author was________.

　　A. scared

　　B. puzzled

　　C. uninterested

　　D. excited

　　2．Sarah learned from her father that renewal is________.

　　A. to recover the layers inside

　　B. to review what has been done

　　C. a natural part of getting mature

　　D. the process of finding the unwanted

　　3．It can be inferred from the passage that the author________.

　　A. dislikes the snake skin at all

　　B. shows concern for nature and culture

　　C. can grasp the chance to educate children

　　D. often encourages his daughter to raise questions

　　4．The author mainly tells the reader that________.

　　A. snakes cast off the layers to look smarter

　　B. we should renew ourselves to get improved

　　C. snakes shed their skins to renew themselves

　　D. we should explore our original nature underneath

　　答案與解析

　　1．A　從第一段中over the top of... came a crispy long object that caused me to jump 可知作者第一眼看見蛇皮時(shí)很害怕。

　　2．C　從倒數(shù)第三段最后一句I was careful to point out that this is a natural consequence of their growth可知。

　　3．C　從第三段至第六段內(nèi)容可知作者能抓住機(jī)會教育孩子。

　　4．B　從最后一段最后一句可知B項(xiàng)正確。

　　(2010·重慶高考)It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生產(chǎn)商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes.What seems strange，however，is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men.Take a look at the way your clothes button.Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left.Considering most of the world's population—men and women—are right-handed， the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women.So why do women's clothes button from the left?

　　History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly right-handed servants，having women's shirts button from the

　　left would be easier.On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too.Most men dressed themselves，and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.

　　Today women are seldom dressed by servants，but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them.Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change.At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left，it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right.After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right，since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.

　　1．What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?

　　A．It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.

　　B．It is different for men's clothing and women's.

　　C．It works better with men than with women.

　　D．It fails to consider right-handed people.

　　2．What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?

　　A．They tended to wear clothes without buttons.

　　B．They were interested in historical matters.

　　C．They were mostly dressed by servants.

　　D．They drew their swords from the left.

　　3．Women's clothes still button from the left today because____.

　　A．a(chǎn)dopting men's style is improper for women

　　B．manufacturers should follow standards

　　C．modern women dress themselves

　　D．customs are hard to change

　　4．The passage is mainly developed by________.

　　A．a(chǎn)nalyzing causes

　　B．making comparisons

　　C．examining differences

　　D．following the time order

　　答案與解析

　　[語篇解讀]　眾所周知，服裝生產(chǎn)商追求時(shí)裝的多樣化并不奇怪。然而，奇怪的是男女所采用的規(guī)格完全不同，最明顯的就是紐扣的系法根本不同。男裝傾向于從右邊系紐扣，女裝正好相反。追溯其歷史淵源，主要是長期以來一個(gè)民族形成的習(xí)慣難以改變。本文通過分析講述了服裝行業(yè)存在的這種實(shí)際現(xiàn)象。

　　1．B　由第一段信息句What seems strange，however，is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men(然而，奇怪的是男女所采用的規(guī)格完全不同)可知，服裝行業(yè)規(guī)格令人奇怪的現(xiàn)象就是男女服裝的完全不同。故選B。根據(jù)文章第二段Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century(17世紀(jì)，紐扣首先出現(xiàn)在富人所穿的衣服上面)可排除A項(xiàng)；第一段Considering most of the world's population—men and women—are the right-handed(考慮到大部分人——不管是男的還是女的——都用右手系紐扣)可排除D項(xiàng)；第一段．..the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women(相比較而言，男裝規(guī)格比女裝更容易讓人接受)，并沒有談及男裝規(guī)格比女裝規(guī)格更好的問題，故排除C項(xiàng)。

　　2．D　事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第二段信息句Most men dressed themselves，and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt(大部分男士穿襯衫，用右手從左邊拔劍可能不會受到襯衫的阻擋)可知本題選擇D。由第二段第一句17世紀(jì)紐扣首先出現(xiàn)在富有人家的衣服上可排除A；第二段第一句表明：在男女服裝的規(guī)格上，歷史起了很重要的作用，并不是男人們對歷史事件感興趣，排除B；第二段最后一句大部分男的自己系紐扣，而非他們的紐扣是由女性系的，排除C。

　　3．D　事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段Actually，a standard，once set，resists change(事實(shí)上，一個(gè)規(guī)格一旦形成就很難改變)和After all，women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch(畢竟，婦女已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了從左邊系紐扣的衣服，因此必須要養(yǎng)成新習(xí)慣和改變角色的技能)可知，今天女性仍然從左邊系紐扣的主要原因是長期形成的習(xí)慣難以改變。故選D。文章沒有談及采用男性款式對女性不合適的問題，排除A；生產(chǎn)商追求的是服裝的多樣性，并非守舊，排除B；C項(xiàng)文章沒有提及。

　　4．A　推理判斷題。綜觀全文，文章第一段提出問題，第二段和第三段通過例子來解釋所提出的問題，通過擺事實(shí)、講道理，說明了女裝從左邊系紐扣的原因和歷史淵源。故選A。即：通過分析原因來闡明問題的。按時(shí)間順序、比較不同和事物比較在文中都沒有體現(xiàn)。
