    There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed
    is unknown.  They probably came about just to give children something to do.
    In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with
    others. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities
    of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities
    of the adult world.
    What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries
    but how much they have remained the same.  The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship,
    mechanics, and technology. It is the universality (普遍性) of toys with regard to their development in
    all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China,
    Japan and among the Arctic (北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations
    depended on local customs and ways of life because toys imitate their surroundings. Nearly every
    civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.
    Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to
    technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use.  The progress from the wheel to the
    cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle (拨浪鼓) used by a
    baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness
    (独创性). Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations
    of available materials.
    1. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that ____.
    A. their social roles are rigidly determined
    B. they like challenging activities
    C. most boys would like to follow their fathers' professions
    D. boys like to play with their fathers while girls with their mothers
    2. One aspect of "the universality of toys" lies in the fact that ________.
    A. the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the world
    B. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys
    C. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys
    D. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities
    3. Which of the following is the author's view on the historical development of toys?
    A. Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a child's character.
    B. The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years.
    C. The craftsmanship in toymaking has remained essentially unchanged.
    D. Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries.
    4. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ________.
    A. reflect the pace of social progress
    B. are not characterized by technological progress
    C. follow a direct line of ascent
    D. also appeal greatly to adults
    5. The author uses the example of a rattle to show that ________.
    A. it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toymaking
    B. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technology
    C. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the time
    D. in toymaking there is a continuity in the use of

  • 历史文化类阅读

什么是历史文化类阅读:

本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议,所以要把握其议才是主要方面。阅读这类文章,先弄清其引入的话题,再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法,然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。


历史文化类阅读技巧:

题型说明】历史文化类阅读理解文章属高考常选材料之一。这类文章常涉及历史、文化、法制、宗教等方面的文学艺术、发明创造、文化遗产保护、宗教与文化、风俗与习惯、道德与法制、中外文学名著节选、等等。这类材料的命题点往往落在主旨大意题、事实细节题上。
答题方法】在做这类阅读理解题时,我们应注意以下几个方面:
1、采用先题后文:先读题目,再带着问题读文章。这类阅读理解文章相对来说事实细节题稍多一点,如果带着问题读文章,有利于我们抓细节。
2、先做细节题。因为做完了局部性的事实细节题后,自然会加深我们对文章的理解,这样更有利于做主旨大意题。
3、重点敲定主旨题。主旨大意题提问的形式主要有两大类:一类是Main idea型;一类是Topic或Title型。
在解答这类试题时应注意以下几点:
a.读首句抓大意。
文化教育类阅读理解文章多采用说明文、议论文体裁,而这类文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主题句在文章开头。因此,要寻找这类文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句。
b.读尾句抓大意。
有时这类文章的主题句安排在文章的结尾,作为对全篇的总结。
c.读首段抓大意。
有些文章或段落的开头和结尾部分都有主题句。这种结构是为了突出主题思想而使用两次点题的写作方法。这两个主题句在句子结构和用词上有所不同,而且在内容上前句和后句也不重复。
d.从段落中抓大意。
有些文章或段落的主题句在文章中,这种文章或段落往往以一句话或几句话引出要表达的主题,在主题句出现后,再举例子陈述细节或继续论证。
e.归纳要点抓大意。
有些文章或段落无明显的主题句,只是暗示性地体现主题。这就要求同学们在阅读过程中根据文中所叙述的事实或线索来概括总结主旨大意。
