    Many of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in history books are great
    conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward
    are often never mentioned at all.
    We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the
    length of the year; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of
    them, so much so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure
    of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries
    are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as
    conquerors.
    It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages;
    hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage(野人) is good,
    but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them
    how to do it most efficiently-this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done-is not being
    civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized people ought to be able
    to find some way of setting their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater
    number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And not only
    has it won, but because it has won, it had been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it
    means saying that might(权利) is right.
    1.The author thinks that the conquerors and generals and soldiers ________.
    A. only appear glorious in history books
    B. are greater than any other people
    C. are not as great as described in history books
    D. do not really help civilization forward
    2. As it is indicated in the passage, the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier is put
    on the highest pillars in the great cities of the world mainly because ________.
    A. people respect them very much
    B. they fought bravely to protect their cities
    C. people think they fought too brutally(野蛮地)
    D. they conquered many cities and countries
    3.What is the writer's attitude towards the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries ?
    A. Positive.
    B. Critical.
    C. Ironic.
    D. Respectful.
    4.The author says that civilized people________.
    A. should not have any quarrels to settle
    B. should not fight when there are no quarrels to settle
    C. should settle their quarrels without fighting
    D. should settle their quarrels by killing the other side

日常生活类阅读

等考点的理解。关于这些考点您可以点击下面的选项卡查看详细档案。
  • 日常生活类阅读

日常生活类阅读的概念:

日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作,生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时,最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容,时间和地点。


日常生活类阅读题答题技巧:

【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小,追根溯源,探索各项风俗的历史渊源,内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主,如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松,试题做起来比较顺手,但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神,就会丢分。   
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率,建议同学们做好以下几点:   
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现,越是容易的试题,同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢?因为在这种情况下,同学们极易产生麻痹思想,认为题目好做,就不引起高度重视,于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点,设计陷阱题。所以,无论试题难易与否,我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易,不欣喜;试题难,不悲观。   
2、根据前面讲到的方法,认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。   
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义,确定多义词或短语在文中的意思,确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象,或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子,切不可望文生义。   
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接,只要弄清事实,即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
