By 1938, Europe had been experiencing an increased number of attacks on Jews. With no end in sight, Jewish refugee(难民) agencies requested the British government to allow them to bring in only Jewish children under17 years of age. This was to be only temporary, until the situation in their home countries was improved.

Kindertransport, meaning “children transport” in German, was then born. Children from Germany, Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland and other Nazi-occupied regions were transported to the United Kingdom. There they were either placed with other families or in hostels. Later, it was found that many of these children were the only survivors of their families. Nicholas Winton was among those people who helped to save Jewish children. He managed to rescue 669 children from Czechoslovakia and bring them safely to England. In 1938 around Christmas, 29-year-old Nicky was about to leave for a skiing holiday. Suddenly, Martin Blake, one of his good friends, contacted(联络) him from Czechoslovakia, asking him to travel there to help political refugees on the run from the Nazis. And Nicholas agreed.

Nicky spent his entire holiday of 3 weeks in the capital city of Prague where he saw the situation first-hand. Once back in England, he immediately started organizing the evacuation(撤离) of children from the Czech region. From advertising for the necessary permits, Nicky worked tirelessly. By August 1939, 669 children had been helped by Nicky and his friends. Haplessly, the last group of children due to leave Prague in the beginning of September could not do so— World War broke out, and swallowed them up.

Nicky did not discuss his particular task with his wife, Grete. It was only when she found a scrapbook in 1988, with names of the rescued children, their (lost) parents and the foster families that had taken them in, that his heroism came to light. Nicky has received several awards in Britain and the Czech Republic.

29. Kindertransport aimed to_____.

A. help the homeless                B. transfer the affected

C. save Jewish children              D. stop German attacks

30. We can learn from the text that Nicholas Winton_____.

A. did a lot to help Jewish children out of danger     B. knew nothing about what happened in Prague

C. always told his wife what he was doing           D. saved 669 children and their parents

31.  The underlined word “Haplessly” in Paragraph 4 can best be replaced by “___”.

A. Importantly     B. Hopefully         C. Strangely  D. Unfortunately

32. Which of the following can best describe Nicholas Winton?

A. Strict but caring                B. Proud but patient

C. Hard-working and humorous      D. Warm-hearted and cautious

◎ 政治经济类阅读的知识点拨

如何备考政治经济类阅读理解题:

【题型说明】政治经济类阅读文章是高考常选材料之一。该类文章时代气息浓郁,语言鲜活,但熟字新义词、超纲词及专业词语多,长句、难句多。政治类文章大多数是同学们感性趣的内容,读起来倒有似曾相识的感觉,经济类文章读起来就像是雾里看花,文章看完,一头雾水。再加之这类文章的命题侧重于词义猜测、推理判断和文章主旨,同学们对这类题材是望而生畏。
【备考策略】建立心理优势。针对不同体裁的文章,我们要采取相应的阅读方法和技巧。政治类文章多采用记叙文形式,我们可采取“顺读法”,以便抓关键语句,领会文章主旨;而经济类文章则多采用说明文形式,我们则可以采取“逆读法”,先读试题,再从文章中查找有用信息。若遇到的确难读的材料。千万不用着急,因为你觉得难,其他人也一定是同感。在高考前,我们就要有这种心理准备,高考试卷肯定有一、两篇难以阅读的材料。不过,我们平时可以有意识地从报刊杂志上找一些较难的阅读材料来阅读,以培养自己迎难而上的心理素质。
【答题方法】
1、寻找主干:
根据英语中五种基本句型结构,把句子中的主语、谓语、宾语、表语等主要成分找出来,其他成分如定语、状语、补语等则易于理解。找到了句子主干,句子的意思至少明白了一半。
2、剔除从句:
在一个长句中可能会出现若干个从句,在理解时,如果把各个从句剔除出来单独理解,然后把大意拼凑起来,整个长句的意思就会明白六、七分。
3、辨别分句:
一个长句如果是由几个并列、转折、递进、对比关系的分句组成,句中往往有表示这些分句关系的连接词,只要能弄清楚分句和分句之间的逻辑关系,再把各层分句的意思加以连贯,整个长句的句意基本上能跃然脑中。
4、寻找关键词:
如果一个句子看完,一点句意的感觉也没有,下下策就是抓住句中的关键词,通过关键词大体弄懂这个长句的意思。

When Christmas time is upon us, there won't be many families without some type of Christmas tree. Most will choose between a cut pine tree and an artificial plastic tree.

Artificial Christmas trees are usually made from steel and the plastic known as PVC. To produce one kilogram of raw PVC you need over a kilo of fossil fuels plus half a kilo of minerals and 10 L of water. The process also releases about two kilograms of CO2 ― which contributes to climate change ― and eight grams of dangerous waste.

Most live Christmas trees come either from small plantations dedicated to growing trees just for Christmas or are the rejects from large pine plantations. In both cases, the growing trees provide some long-term soil protection and suck up climate-change-causing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, the use of fertilizers and pollution from machinery can have negative impacts on the local ecosystems.

Both types of trees require transportation to reach your home, which means fuels are burnt and air pollution generated. The greater the distance travelled, the larger the impact, and plastic trees certainly rack up the kilometres. The vast majority of Australia’s artificial trees are made in factories in Asia. If a family in Melbourne buys a plastic tree made in China, then it has travelled more than 8,000 km to arrive at its new home. Alternatively, someone living near Melbourne's CBD could get a real tree from a plantation less than 50 km away.

Despite the shorter life span, real trees are the way to go, because a natural tree can be reused in its afterlife. A plastic Christmas tree can’t be recycled and that means its final resting place will be the local dump. Here the PVC will stay in much the same form for thousands of years.

72. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

      A. Artificial Christmas trees are usually made from steel and plastic.

B. The process of producing PVC does great harm to the environment.

C. Real Christmas trees usually come from large or small plantations.

D. Real Christmas trees release much carbon dioxide while growing.

73. By saying “rack up the kilometres”, the author probably means that the transportation of plastic trees _______.

A. is more convenient                         B. produces more pollution

C. covers a shorter distance                D. can save more fuels

74. According to the passage, real Christmas trees _______ compared with fake ones.

A. use fewer resources                       B. are more difficult to recycle

C. last much longer                             D. are less expensive

75. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?

A. Real Christmas Trees: A Wasteful luxury

B. Fake Christmas Trees: A Economical Choice

C. Real Christmas Trees: A Greener Decision

D. Fake Christmas Trees: A Popular Trend

    Managers of most businesses want high profits in order to pay high dividends(红利)to their investorsFor this reasonthey aim to keep costs as low as possible .They also want to set high prices to gain high returnsBut competition within the industry often prevents them from doing soGenerallya business will not increase the price of its output if its competitors will not increase their pricesIf a business sets its prices higher than those of its competitorsmany of its customers will buy the output of its competitors

    An important decision managers make is their choice of the input-mix in what combination of capital(资本)laborand raw materials to use in productionThe goal is to keep production costs as low as possibleIf labor costs are highfor examplea firm may spend money in automatic machinery so that fewer workers are needed to complete the same taskIf labor is cheapthe company may decide to employ extra workers instead of buying a machine to do the jobThe combination of inputs that permits a firm to produce its goods or services at the lowest possible cost without reducing quality is called the most productive input-mix

    The goal of keeping production costs low also affects a company’s choice of locationThe resources an industry needs and the customers it serves are rarely close to each otherAs a resulta business must transport inputsoutputsor bothA business also tries to keep transportation costs as low as possible

    Transportation costs are based on weight as well as on distanceThe location a company selects may thus depend on whether the company’s product is heavier or lighter than the materials used to make itThe soft drink industrywhich adds water to other ingredients to make its productsis an example of an industry that produces weight-gaining productsSoft drink companies choose locations near their customersThe paper industry is an example of industries that produce weight losing productsMany such industries are near sources of rataT materials

 

57What do businesses choose to do about the prices of their products in competition?

    ATo set higher prices       BTo leave the prices unchanged

    CTo offer lower prices     D  To keep the prices adjustable

58The underlined phrase “the most productive input-mix” means mixing inputs      

    Awith goods or services sold at the lowest possible prices

    Bby selling goods or services at the lowest possible prices

    Cto produce goods or services at the lowest possible cost

    D  to produce quality goods or services at the lowest possible cost

 59Why is a company usually very careful about choosing its location?

    ABecause the materials it needs are rather far away

    BBecause the customers it serves are not so close

    CBecause transportation costs and the distance are closely related

    D  Because both production and transportation costs are very high

60The soft drink industry and the paper making industry are used as examples because      

    Athey share a lot of things in common

    B  they are both only making lower profits

    Cthe transportation costs of their products are the same

    D  they are quite different when considering the locations

Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres(种类),Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C. to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.

Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic(说西班牙语国家的) population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies―whether dealing in music or not―are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate (公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.

Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music. When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.

Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.

 

57. The passage mainly tells readers _____________.

   A. that more and more Americans like Latin music

   B. what makes Latin music develop fast in American market

   C. why Latin music becomes Americans' favorite music

   D. that Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans

58. The underlined word "skyrocketing" in the first paragraph means________.

   A. changing very quickly                        B. disappearing slowly

   C. recovering slowly                              D. increasing very quickly

59. According to the third paragraph, which shows the right relations among the following things?

①economic development                ②more Latin workers

③shops' stock of Latin music         ④local radio station

⑤small TV station                         ⑥the development of Latin music

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


60. Suppose that passage doesn't finish, which of the following may be discussed next?

A. The variety of Latin music in America.

B. The economic development in Hispanic area.

C. The historic development of Mexican music.

D. The driving forces of regional Mexican music

Teachers spend countless years trying to make history come alive for their students. But, US Director Shawn Levy attempts to do this on film in the recently released Night at the Museum.

The film is adapted from Milan Trenc’s book of the same name. It brings to life a world where dinosaurs wander the earth, a former president rides again, warlike early Asians return, and cowboys and Roman soldiers seek to bring back their old goals.

The familiar comedy star Ben Stiller acts as a luckless dreamer named Larry Daley. He takes a position as night watchman at the New York Museum of Natural History.

On Larry’s first night, he’s left alone by the three aging guards he’s replacing. They fail to inform him of the museum’s rather unusual nightlife.

Soon Larry finds himself chased down the hallways by the very lively skeleton of a dinosaur, in the middle of a confrontation(交锋) with Asian warriors. He is caught in a territorial battle between a cowboy and a Roman general and meets face-to-face with former US president Teddy Roosevelt, played by Robin Williams. They are each from an exhibit that has come to life through the magic of a priceless Egyptian tablet.

While the film fails to develop very much in some areas for example, Larry’s troubled relationship with a son, it does have enough special effects, and jokes to engage the audience.

Bottom Line: Definitely not Oscar-worthy, but a great way to relax during a holiday.
