One morning Raman, a true master of the art of archery (箭術(shù)), invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill. The student had 36 this more than a

hundred times before, but he still obeyed his 37.

Together, they went into a nearby wood and reached a tall 38. Raman picked a rose flower and 39 it on one of the branches of the tree. He 40 opened his bag and took out three objects: his 41, an arrow and a white handkerchief.

Raman stood one hundred paces from the spot where he had placed the 42. Facing his target, he 43 his student to blindfold (蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief. The student did as his teacher 44.

“How often have you seen me practice the sport of archery?” Raman asked him 45.

“Every day,” replied his student. “And you have 46 managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away.”

With his eyes covered by the 47, Raman placed his feet firmly on the ground and 48 the bowstring (弓弦) with all his strength. Aiming at the rose on the 49, he let the arrow fly. The arrow whistled through the air, 50 it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters.

“Did I 51 it?” said Raman, removing the handkerchief from his eyes.

“No, you missed 52,” replied the student. “I thought you were going to 53 me the power of thought and your ability to perform magic.”

“I have 54 taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought.” replied Raman. “When you 55 something, concentrate only on that: No one will ever hit a target they cannot see.”

【解析】文章講述的是一個箭術(shù)大師像平時一樣練習，在練習的過程中教會了學生一個道理，即要實現(xiàn)目標，一定要知道目標在哪里

1.上下文，根據(jù)上文invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill可知，他的學生已經(jīng)看過很多次了。

2.上下文，根據(jù)上文invited his favorite student 可知，他們是師生關(guān)系

3.上下文，根據(jù)下文的on one of the branches of the tree可知，他們來到了一顆樹那

4.句意理解，他撿起一顆玫瑰花并且把它放置在樹枝上

5.句意理解，他把花放在樹枝上，之后他從包里拿出三個東西

6.上下文，因為他是箭術(shù)的大師，他要練習箭術(shù)，就一定會用到弓箭

7.上下文，根據(jù)上文 39 it on one of the branches of the tree可知，他放在樹枝上的是花

8.他叫他的學生把他的眼睛蒙起來

9.他的學生按照他的要求把他的眼睛蒙上了

10.此處老師并沒有表現(xiàn)出別的情緒，所以是很平靜地問學生

11.句意理解，根據(jù)上下文可知，老師總是能很好的集中玫瑰花

12.上下文，根據(jù)上文的his student to blindfold (蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief可知，是用手絹蒙住的眼睛

13.常用搭配，射箭的時候都要拉弓，才能射箭，所以選擇A，意為拉， bring up 意為撫養(yǎng)，養(yǎng)育 hold back抑制  take off 起飛，事業(yè)騰飛

14.上下文，根據(jù)上文39 it on one of the branches of the tree可知，花放在樹枝上 ，

15.上下文，根據(jù)后面的it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters可知，此處表轉(zhuǎn)折

16.上下文，根據(jù)上文managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away可知，集中目標用的是hit

17.上下文，因為箭離目標很遠，所以此處是完全偏差了

18.句意理解，我本以為你要給我展示你意念的力量和你神奇的能力

19.句意理解，我剛剛就是教了你最終要的一課，那就是意念的力量

20.句意理解，當你想要某個東西的時候，一定要記住，沒有人能實現(xiàn)目標，當他完全看不到目標的時候

科目：高中英語 來源：2011-2012學年江蘇省無錫市高三第一次模擬考試英語試題 題型：閱讀理解

  Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyze their embarrassing errors, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groups.

    One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her pet dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly.” It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. “But somehow the action got reversed（顛倒）in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “programme assembly failures.”

   Twenty percent of all errors were “test failures” — mainly due to not verifying the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them on — much to his surprise. A woman reported, “I got into the bath with my socks on.”

   The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.

   The research so far suggests that while the central processor of the brain is liberated from second-to-second control of a well-practiced routine, it must repeatedly switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as intended. Otherwise the activity may be gotten by another frequently and recently used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.

1.The purpose of the professor’s research is to __________.

    A. show the difference between men and women

    B. sort and explain some errors in human actions

    C. find the causes which lead to computer failures

    D. compare computer functions with brain working

2.Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?

    A. A woman went to a shop and forgot what to buy.

    B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.

    C. A lady fell as she was paying attention to each step her feet were taking.

    D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.

3.The underlined word “verifying” (in paragraph 3) can be replaced by “_______”.

    A. improving          B. changing     C. checking       D. stopping

4.According to the passage, the information “storage failure” refers to “_______”.

   A. information collecting system being destroyed

   B. one’s total memory being removed

   C. the loss of part of one’s memory for a time

   D. the separation of one’s action from words

Here is what I have been told of the matter.

In the spring of 1842, Marguerite was so weak, so different in her looks, that the doctors had ordered her to take the waters. She therefore set out for Bagneres.

Among the other sufferers there, was the Duke's daughter who not only had the same complaint but a face so like Marguerite's that they could have been taken for sisters.  The fact was that the young Duchess was in the third stage of consumption and, only days after Marguerite's arrival, she passed away.

One morning the Duke, who had remained at Bagneres caught sight of Marguerite as she turned a corner of a gravel walk. It seemed as though he was seeing the spirit of his dead child and, going up to her, he took both her hands, embraced her tearfully and, without asking who she was, begged permission to call on her and to love in her person the living image of his dead daughter.

Marguerite, alone at Bagneres with her maid, and in any case having nothing to lose by compromising herself, granted the Duke what he asked.

Now there were a number of people at Bagneres who knew her, and they made a point of calling on the Duke to inform him of Marguerite's true situation. It was a terrible blow for the old man, for any resemblance with his daughter stopped there. But it was too late. The young woman had become an emotional necessity, his only excuse and his sole reason for living.

He did not criticize her, he had no right to, but he did ask her if she felt that she could change her way of life, and, in exchange for this sacrifice, he would offer all the compensations she could want. She agreed.

It should be said that at this point Marguerite, who was by nature somewhat highly strung(excited and nervous), was seriously ill. Her past appeared to her to be one of the major causes of her illness, and a kind of superstition(迷信) led her to hope that God would allow her to keep her beauty and her health in exchange for her regret and shame.

And indeed the waters, the walks, healthy fatigue and sleep had almost restored her fully by the end of that summer.

The Duke accompanied Marguerite to Paris, where he continued to call on her as at Bagneres.

This connection, of which the true origin and true motive were known to no one,  gave rise here to a great deal of talk, since the Duke, known till now as an enormously wealthy man,  now began to acquire a name for the prodigality(揮霍).

72. Why did the Duke take Marguerite’s both hands when he saw her?

A. His daughter and Marguerite were once good friends.  B. Marguerite is his daughter’s spirit.

C. Marguerite resembles his daughter.                    D. They haven’t seen each other for long.

73. What’s the right order of the events?

a. The Duke accompanied Marguerite to Paris.

b. Marguerite set out for Bagneres.

c. The Duke took Marguerite as his daughter.

d. The daughter of the Duke passed away.

e. Marguerite took a gravel walk

A. e-c-b-d-a                         B. c-d-e-b-a                         C. b-d-e-c-a                         D. d-a-c-b-e

74. From the passage we can guess that Marguerite _______.

A. doesn’t believe in God                 B. was once a woman without a good fame

C. was strange to all the people in Bagners

D. kept her own way of life while living with the Duke

75. According to the passage, Marguerite went to Bagners _______.

A. just for a gravel walk                                                 B. to find her sister

C. to visit the Duke                                                          D. for treatment
