  When Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What?” and “How?” and “Why?”

  They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know.

  When they couldn't tell him, Ben tried to find out for himself.

  Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before. The other boys would say, “That Ben Franklin! He's always finding out something new!”

  Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water.

  One day Ben said to himself, “Why can't the wind help me float(漂浮) across the water? And I'm going to try.” Ben got his big kite. He took hold of the kite string(線) and ran with it. The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water.

  The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all.

  One boy shouted, “Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without any work!”

  “Yes,” said another. “He's always finding new ways to do things.”

1.When he was only a child, Ben ________.

[  ]

A.liked to fly a kite by himself

B.a(chǎn)lways asked easy questions

C.a(chǎn)lways liked to play with water

D.a(chǎn)lways liked to find out how things worked

2.His father and brothers ________.

[  ]

A.couldn't answer all his questions

B.could answer all his questions

C.tried hard to find out something new for him

D.were too busy to answer his questions

3.How did Ben Franklin float across the water?

[  ]

A.The other boy took him across it.

B.The water carried him across it.

C.The flying kite took him across it.

D.A boat took him across it.

4.He found out many things that ________.

[  ]

A.children didn't know

B.his father and brothers knew

C.people didn't know

D.most people knew

5.In the passage, the sentence “and he had not worked at all.” means ________.

[  ]

A.he worked hard to cross the water

B.he didn't go to work that day

C.he didn't cross the water at all

D.he crossed the water in an easy way

答案:D;A;C;C;D
解析:

  1.本題檢測(cè)考生的歸納概括能力.短文第一自然段敘述了Ben Franklin小時(shí)候總是想了解事物的情況.我們?cè)俑鶕?jù)該段中敘述的“He was always asking his father and brothersWhat? and How? andWhy?’”,就可以歸納概括出Ben在小時(shí)候總是喜歡弄清楚事情的來(lái)龍去脈.

  2.這是一道轉(zhuǎn)換理解題.短文第二自然段“They couldn't always tell him what he wanted to know.”與試題中“His father and brothers couldn't answer all his questions.”只不過(guò)是同一意思的不同表達(dá)法而已,都是說(shuō)明Ben Franklin的父親和兄弟不能回答出他所提出的全部問(wèn)題.

  3.這是一道事實(shí)詢問(wèn)題.回答此題需要在短文中找到兩處信息.第一次是短文第六自然段中“He took hold of the kite string and ran with it.”第二處是第七自然段中“Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side.”把這兩處信息綜合起來(lái)考慮,就不難推斷出,是飛行的風(fēng)箏把Ben Franklin帶過(guò)了水面.

  4.本題檢測(cè)考生的推理判斷能力.短文第四自然段中“Many times Ben did find out things that no one knew before.”以及其他孩子對(duì)Ben的評(píng)價(jià)“He's always finding out something new!”其深層含義就是Ben Franklin弄清楚了人們不了解的許多事情.

  5.本題是檢測(cè)考生根據(jù)語(yǔ)境猜測(cè)詞語(yǔ)含義的能力.只有通過(guò)對(duì)上下文的審視,考生才能夠真正把握此話的含義.短文倒數(shù)第二自然段其中一個(gè)男孩的呼喊聲“His kite takes him to the other side without any work!”則清楚地闡釋了“and he had not worked at all.”的內(nèi)在含義:Ben以容易的方式過(guò)了河.
