Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, \ have cabbage today?\He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no. Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand.

76. D整体理解题 通读全文，尤其从第一段末尾的They decided that miscommunications were always possible可知，他们对在不同地区与人如何交流感到有麻烦。
77. B细节理解题 根据第二段的最后一句话―She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means \可判断答案是B.
78. A综合理解题 根据第四小段可以找到在印度不同地方用点头或摇头来表示同意或不同意，所以开始的点头和摇头的都已经听懂了，而作者却不明白。
79. A 细节理解题 根据第三段的最后一句In that country, a nod means no.可知在这个地方点头表示不。

【2010安徽省卷】 B
Once there was a piano player in a bar(酒吧). People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song. \

He had talent(天赋) he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole. You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent. 81. The lady asked the player to sing a song because _____.

81. C 细节理解题 根据第四行的一句 ―I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!‖可知：这位女士要他唱歌，仅仅是因为听烦了他的弹奏钢琴，处于好奇而让他改变一下。
82. B整体理解题 CD容易排除。把握全文，尤其从倒数第二段可知Nat King Cole的成功主要是因为他抓住了让他唱歌他就唱这一机会。所以选答案B. 83. A词义理解题 根据最后一段的前边几句话：你也有自己的能力，也许感觉不到自己的能力有多大，但是它比你想象的还要大，通过你艰苦的努力才能正是你的能力，还有就是，如果你?，你就根本不可能成功的。可见是：如果你认识不到你的能力，或者不努力，也就是选择答案A.
84. D推测理解题 这篇短文主要就是告诫我们：如果有能力，就应该努力来证明我们自己。 85. D主旨理解题 通读短文，可知本篇短文就是通过Nat King Cole的成功告诫我们：必须努力来证明我们自己的能力，所以本篇的题目最有意义的是：发回你的潜能，而不是：酒吧歌声、不要丧失信心或成功等。
【2010安徽省卷】 D
Doctor Seuss was born in 1904. By the middle 1950s, he had become one of the best-loved and most successful children's book writers in the world. His books are very popular with young readers. They enjoy the invented words and the pictures of unusual funny animals and plants.
In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who
could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting. Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. He used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish. He did not receive training in art. Yet, he drew the pictures for most of his books.
In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat. He used less than 230 words to write the book and even a six-year-old should be able to read it. It was a fun story and easy to read. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of The Cat in the Hat made him want to write more books for children. In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.
In 1984, Doctor Seuss won a Pulitzer Prize (普利策奖). He was honored for the education
and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.
He died at the age of 87, but his influence remains. Millions of his books have been sold worldwide. People say his books helped change the way American children learned to read. Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages. Doctor Seuss once said, \write for people.
91. Doctor Seuss learned from the magazine that _______. A. some school children could not read B. many children's books were interesting C. children wanted to learn to read D. a writer for children was wanted
92. People like his books because the books ______. A. are cheap and easy to get
B. were written in different languages C. are easy and interesting to read D. were written with invented words
93. He wrote the book The Cat in the Hat at the age of _____. A. 50 B. 53 C. 56 D. 87 94. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Doctor Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham with over 230 words. B. Doctor Seuss wrote books only for children in the United States. C. The Cat in the Hat was written only for six-year-old children. D. His books provided education and enjoyment for Americans. 95. From the text we know that Doctor Seuss __________. A. won a Pulitzer Prize soon after his death
B. sold millions of his books himself worldwide C. changed American children's way of reading
D. wrote the largest number of books in the world 【主旨大意】：这是一篇美国著名作家Doctor Seuss的故事，详细介绍了他的生平事迹，他针对当时美国孩子们没有有趣的读物的情况，写作了有趣易懂的文章，从而不仅赢得了美国孩子还有美国民众的口味，并于1984年赢得了普利策奖，从而改变了美国孩子的阅读方式。 91. A 细节理解题 从文章第二段开头的In 1954, life magazine published(刊登) a report about school children who could not read. The report said many children's books were not interesting.可以看出孩子们不能阅读是因为很多书没有趣，所以选择答案A,而不是B.
92. C细节理解题 由第二段第三句Doctor Seuss strongly hoped to help children and decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read.可知他的书深受喜爱是因为他的书有趣且易读。所以选择答案C.
93. B计算推理题 文章开头Doctor Seuss was born in 1904.他出生于1904年，第三段开头In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote The Cat in the Hat.他于1957年写出这本书，所以计算出是在53岁时写的，所以选择答案B.
94. D细节理解题 第四段第二句He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents.可得答案D是正确的。第三段末尾In 1960, he wrote a book using less than fifty words. The book is called Green Eggs and Ham.可知答案A错误；末尾段的倒数第二句Yet, his books are loved by people of all ages.可知答案B错误；第三段第二句even a six-year-old should be able to read it.可知并非只为6岁孩子，而是连6岁孩子
都能读懂，所以C也错误。
95. C推测理解题 根据文章最后一段，他死于87岁，而他获奖是在1984年时他80岁，所以答案错了；是他的很多书在世界广泛销售，并非自己卖，所以B也错了；文章没说到他的书世界最多,所以D也错了，而把握全文，其主旨大意就是Doctor Seuss改变了美国孩子的阅读方式。所以选择答案C.

One midnight, a little girl woke up to pass water. She by herself got up and down her bed, walked to the bedroom door and opened it. She looked outside and walked back, for it was so dark in the hall that she feared.
Her mother said, ―Don‘t be afraid, honey. Take courage!‖ ―What‘s courage?‖ she asked, running to her mother‘s bed. ―Courage is the brave breath,‖ her mother answered. ―Mum, do you have courage?‖ ―Certainly.‖
The girl held out her little hands, saying, ―Mum, blow some of your breath of courage to me.‖
After her mother blew out two mouthfuls of breath into her little cold hands, the little girl clenched her fists(握拳) nervously, afraid that the ―breath of courage‖ would run away. Then with her fists clenched, she walked out of the bedroom towards the bathroom with nothing to fear.
Her mother said to herself, ―It will be nice if someone can blow some kind of ?breath‘ to me. Then I can hold it in my hands too when I feel terrified or lost.‖
