The first day was so tiring;we could hardly remember where we were and what we were seeing

23、.The next morning,we were off to see monuments(纪念碑),starting with Washington,Lincoln and Jefferson.We walked along the paths through trees.Then the Wall came into viewthe Vietnam Veterans Memorial. As I inched closer to the Wall,I heard a bagpipe(风笛) in the distance,which seemed to show respect to t

24、he lives lost in the jungles of Vietnam. We continued walking and felt surprised at the number of names carved in the black stone.I was determined to find a soldier with my last name,but my hunt was stopped when a man caught my eyes.He was kneeling(跪着) at the Wall,a single rose at his feet.His head

25、was bowed and he was rubbing his fingers over one name.I thought how sad he was,and then moved on. After a few minutes I found one with my last name,but my eyes returned to the kneeling man.He was still rubbing his fingers over the same name.He never knew I was watching him,lost in deep sorrow.It wa

26、s time for me to leave the kneeling man and the Wall.On the way home,I couldnt help thinking of the kneeling man and his sad face.I wasnt sure of the effects of war before,but at that moment I realised how much that man suffered from losing his loved one.Maybe he was only one of so many families who

27、 experienced the same. I never knew the full effects of war until I saw that man.I only know about war from history classes.The kneeling man taught me more about war and the effects it has on people than any history book. 21.Which of the following makes the author feel the suffering that war brings

28、to human beings? A.The kneeling man. B.The sound of a bagpipe. C.The number of names carved in the stone.

A.he found it covered with dust B.he missed the loved one who died in a war C.he intended to remove it completely D.he recalled the fierce war he fought in 答案:B 解析:推理判断题。由第五段的“He was still rubbing his fingers over the sa

30、me name.”及“.I realised how much that man suffered from losing his loved one.”可推知,他在那里不停地用手抚摸着纪念碑上的 名字,可能是因为他深深思念着在战争中死去的亲人。 23.What did the author learn from the trip? A.How fierce war is in history. B.How people remember those who died in wars. C.What bad effects war had on many families. D.What we

31、 should do to prevent war. 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二段的“I wasnt sure of the effects of war before,but at that moment I realised how much that man suffered from losing his loved one.Maybe he was only one of so many families who experienced the same.”可推知,在这次参观中,作者从这个在纪念碑前跪着的人身上,感受 到战争给人们带来的巨大影响。 24.According

32、 to the last paragraph,the author probably thinks that . A.he should have studied history hard in class B.history books dont tell readers the truth C.there is more in history than books tell us D.the kneeling man should be a history teacher 答案:C 解析:推理判断题。从文章最后一句话可推知,C项是作者认同的观点。 B Too much TV-watchin

33、g can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree,new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children.

34、 about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedroom TVs. A second study,looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand,found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood.But the results dont prove that TV is the cause and

35、 dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人) may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15.Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood,compared with an average of more t

36、han 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school. In the California study,children with TVs in their rooms but no computer at home scored the lowest,while those with no bedroom TV but who had home computers scored the highest.

47、house.For the next year or so,I taught in that same schoolhouse.But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period,I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did,though I did not get anywhere with the l
