3metersperhour其他情况记得用完整的句子回答问题。【应试技巧】1.通读全文。做简答题的关键是要读懂原文，因此首先要通读全文、弄清楚段落大意及文章的中心意思以及作者的基本观点、态度，正确理解语境。2.按题查读。即根据问题去寻找答案。认真阅读问题，充分理解问题，准确理解所问的内容，确定需要在文章中查找的对象，避免答非所问。3.简练作答。在基本确定了每道题的回答内容之后，就要用简练、准确的英语表达出来。注意回答问题时要切中要点，不要画蛇添足。组织答案时，注意避免语言错误，如：时态、主谓一致、句子结构和拼写等。如需引用原文，要作适当改动，最好不要整句照搬.4.认真核查。完成所填的答案以后，再将原短文和补全后的短文或句子放在一起,审读一遍，上下对比参照，逐一检查所填的词是否符合原文主旨和细节，是否答非所问，是否仍存在语法、词汇拼写等错误，另外还有一点也要注意：如果对字数有要求,是否符合要求。5.答案形式要符合提问方式。不同类型的问题要求有不同形式的回答，不能仅仅为了答案的简洁而忽略了问题与回答在形式上的对应。如原文中提问方式为“why”，那么就要用“because”引导的从句来回答。一、根据短文内容回答下列问题。Mr.Klarkeworksinanagriculturalcollege.Therehetaughthisstudentshowtokeeptheseedsandwhentosowthemandhowtolookaftertheplants.Heknowsmuchandmakeshisclasseslivelyandinteresting.Soheisrespected.Onedayhewasaskedtogiveatalkinatown.Onhiswaythere,somethingwaswrongwithhiscaratafootofahill.Hetriedtorepairit,buthefailedandhehadtoclimbupthehillandaskthevillagersthereforhelp.Itwasveryhotthatdayandsoonhefeltthirsty.Hesawalotofpeartreesinagarden.Andayoungmanwaspickingtheminit.“Isay,youngman!”saidtheoldman,“Couldyougivemesomepears,please?”Infacttheyoungmanwasoneofhisstudentsandherecognizedhimatonce.Hewantedtohaveajokewithhim.Soheanswered,“Ofcourse,sir.Doyouwantthehotonesorcoldones?”ItmadeMr.Klarkefeelstrange.Hethoughttohimself,“I’veneverheardofhotpears.Well,letmetellhimIwantsomehotones.”Andhesaidashethought.Havingheardthis,theyoungmanthrewsomepearstotheground.Mr.Klarkepickedthemup,blewthedustoffthemandatethemup.“Yousaidtheywerehot,butwhyweretheycold?”askedtheoldman.“Whatdidyoublowthemfor,then,Mr.Klarke?”saidtheyoungmanwithasmile.1．DoesMr.Klarkedosomethinginthecollege?2．Howabouthisclasses?They3．Hefailedtorepairhiscar,didn’the?4．Whydidheclimbupthehill?5．What’stheChinesemeaningfortheunderlinedword“dust”?6．WhydidMr.Klarkeblowthepears?Whatdoyouthinkoftheyoungman?【答案】1．Yes.2．Theyarelivelyandinteresting.3．Yes,hedid.4．Becausehewantedtoaskthevillagersthereforhelp.5．灰尘。6．Becausethepearsweredirty.TheyoungmanwassocleverandnaughtythatheplayedatrickonMr.Klarke.【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了克拉克先生和他的一个学生之间的幽默故事。1．根据“Mr.Klarkeworksinanagriculturalcollege.Therehetaughthisstudentshowtokeeptheseedsandwhentosowthemandhowtolookaftertheplants.”可知，克拉克先生在一所农业学院教他的学生如何保存种子、何时播种以及如何照顾植物。故填Yes.2．根据“Heknowsmuchandmakeshisclasseslivelyandinteresting.”可知，他知识渊博，他的课生动有趣。故填Theyarelivelyandinteresting.3．根据“Hetriedtorepairit,buthefailedandhehadtoclimbupthehillandaskthevillagersthereforhelp.”可知，他试图修理它，但他失败了，他不得不爬上小山，向那里的村民寻求帮助。故填Yes,hedid.4．根据“…hehadtoclimbupthehillandaskthevillagersthereforhelp.”可知，他爬上小山是因为他想向那里的村民寻求帮助。故填Becausehewantedtoaskthevillagersthereforhelp.5．根据“Havingheardthis,theyoungmanthrewsomepearstotheground.Mr.Klarkepickedthemup,blewthedustoffthemandatethemup.”可知，年轻人把梨子扔到地上，这样梨子表面上就粘上了地面上的灰尘，由此可推断“dust”意为“灰尘”。故填：灰尘。6．根据语境可知，因为年轻人把梨子扔在了地上，梨子表面就粘上了灰尘，有点脏，克平克先生在吃梨子之前，就必须把梨子表面的灰尘吹掉。第二问，根据“Infacttheyoungmanwasoneofhisstudentsandherecognizedhimatonce.Hewantedtohaveajokewithhim.”和“‘Whatdidyoublowthemfor,then,Mr.Klarke?’saidtheyoungmanwithasmile.”可知，年轻人认出了老师，但面对老师的求助，他竟然开起了玩笑，说明年轻人有点淘气；后来面对老师的询问为什么梨子不是热的时，学生能机智地回答：梨子不是热的，那你为什么要吹呢？故填Becausetheyweredirty.TheyoungmanwassocleverandnaughtythatheplayedatrickonMr.Klarke.二、根据短文内容回答下列问题。Intheearlydaysofhistory,beingagoodneighborwasveryimportant.Neighborshelpedoneanothersetuphousesandclearfields.Familiesdependedononeanotherforfriendshipandentertainment.Buttodayinourcitiesandsuburbs,friendlyrelationshipbetweenneighborsisnotsocommon.Afamilymaynotevenknowtheotherfamiliesthatlivenextdoortothem.Weliveinanageofmachines,andeachfamilymayhaveitsowncar,TVsetandwashingmachine.Peoplenolongerdependonneighborsasmuchastheyoncedid.Machineskeeppeopleapartinotherways.Inourgrandparent’stime,womenmetwhiletheyhungoutthewashing.Andmenstoppedandtalkedwhiletheymowthelawns(割草).Today,theycannothearanythingabovethenoiseoftheirpowerlawnmowers.Andwomendothehouseworkinsidewiththeirelectricaldryers,whichhelpdrytheirclothes.ChildrenareinsidewatchingtheirfavoriteTVshows.Istheideaofbeingagoodneighboroldfashioned?In1965,apowercuthitNewYorkcity.Andmanythousandsofpeoplewerelefthelpless.Suddenly,everyonesharedthesameproblem,andthelargestcitybecameagroupof8millionneighbors.Peoplewithcarsofferedridestothosewalking.Otherpeoplehelpeddirecttraffic.Inelevators,peopleplayedwordgamesandhelpedcheereachotherup.Timesoftrouble,peoplestilldependononeanother.Astimegoeson,peoplemayonceagainfeelthatbeingagoodneighborisimportant.7．Whatdidneighborsdotohelpeachotherintheearlydaysofhistory?8．Friendlyrelationshipbetweenneighborsiscommoninourcitiesandsurburbs,isn’tit?9．Whydopeoplenolongerdependonneighborsasmuchastheyoncedid?10．Whatdowomenusetheirelectricaldryerstodo?11．HowdidtheNewYorkersfeelduringthepowercutin1965?12．Whatdoyouthinkofbeingagoodneighbor?Why?【答案】7．Theybuilthousesandclearedfields.8．No,itisn’t.9．Becausetheyliveinanageofmachines./Becauseeachfamilymayhaveitsowncar,TVset,andwashingmachine.10．Theyusethemtodrytheirclothes.11．Theyfelthelpless.12．Ithinkit’sstillimportant.Becausegoodneighborscanalwayshelpeachotherwhentheyencounterdifficulties,whichreflectsthetraditionalvi
