28、I. 篇章練習(xí)Exercise In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed t

29、heir surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you dont even use your inner space?” H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question

30、 that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it. Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas.

31、The “Chunnel”, a tunnel connecting England and France, is now complete. But what about underground cities? Japans Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground system, called “Alice Cities.” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,

32、offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太陽能穹頂) would cover the whole city. Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earths space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells “moon peo

34、況下，尤其在閱讀說明文和議論文時，根據(jù)其篇章特點我們可以通過尋找短文的主標(biāo)題位于文章之首，用來高度概括文章內(nèi)容，點明文章主題。它的特點是：短小精悍，多為一短語；涵蓋性強，一般要求能覆蓋全文，其確定的范圍要恰當(dāng)，既不能太大，也不能太小。精確性強，不能隨意改變語言表意的程度及色彩。在選擇標(biāo)題時，要注意三點：第一：要在閱讀原文的基礎(chǔ)上，仔細(xì)考慮這句話或短語與文章主題是否有密切的聯(lián)系；第二：再看它對文章的概括性或覆蓋面如何；第三：要注意題目是過大還是過小。答案速遞I. 1. A 。短文中沒有主題句，通過仔細(xì)閱讀全文，從例證關(guān)系來分析，本文的主題思想應(yīng)歸納為：People enjoy different

35、 kinds of recreation. 因此，A為正確答案。2. A 。上面這段話的主題句位于本段的中間：The flood of cheaper foreign cars has not cost American autoworkers their jobs as some experts expected. 據(jù)此，此題的正確答案應(yīng)為A.。3. C。四項選擇中A項和D項內(nèi)容太具體，不能概括段落的主旨思想。B項內(nèi)容又太籠統(tǒng)，超出了作者的原意。只有C項才準(zhǔn)確地概括出段落的主旨思想。4. D 。這一篇短文前幾句只講述了具體情況，均不具備主題句的特征，只有最后一句話是概括性的、總結(jié)性的，因此本

36、段的最后一句是主題句，故正確答案是D。5. D這是一篇報道，文章的第一段只有兩句話：“20個學(xué)生(2女18男)有充分的理由為自己感到自豪，因為他們奪得了第五屆華羅庚杯數(shù)學(xué)競賽的金獎，是4百萬參賽學(xué)生中的佼佼者”，下文接著對競賽的有關(guān)情況進(jìn)行報道，因此，第一段實際上就是這篇報道的主題句。A、B、C分別只包含了報道的部分信息，顯然不合題意；D選項與主題句的意思完全一致，因此是正確答案。II. D。文章以月球人的問題Why are you traveling to outer space when you dont even use your inner space? 引起話題，接著講敘了人類目前對

37、地下空間的利用現(xiàn)狀，結(jié)尾以地下空間開發(fā)的支持者的話點題 building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earths space。A選項只是本文話題的部分意思，不是主要話題；B選項與文章的意思無關(guān)；文章主要是講地下空間的開發(fā)利用，而不是講如何享受地下生活，因此C選項與文章的主題也無關(guān)；D選項符合文章的主要內(nèi)容，與主題句的意思一致，因此，是該題的正確答案。單詞百寶箱brew n. 調(diào)制,釀造He brewed cups of thick Turkish coffee.他調(diào)制了幾杯很濃的土耳其咖啡。ingredients

38、 n. (混合物的)組成部分; 配料; 構(gòu)成要素,因素Flour and fat are the most important ingredients.面粉和油脂是最重要的配料。breeze n. 微風(fēng),輕風(fēng)It was steaming hot; there was no breeze at all.天氣悶熱,一點風(fēng)也沒有。insatiable adj. 不知足的, 貪求無厭的The young man has an insatiable hunger for knowledge.這個年輕人有著一副永不滿足的求知欲。orientation n. 方向,目標(biāo) The winding
