We spent a day in the country and picked a lot of flowers. Our car was full of flowers inside! On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights , and there my wife saw the bookshelf.
It stood outside a furniture (家具)shop. "Buy it," she said at once. "We'll carry it home on the roof-rack (車頂架) . I've always wanted one like that . "
What could I do? Ten minutes later I was twenty dollars poorer, and the bookshelf was tied on to the roof-rack. It was tall and narrow, quite heavy too .
As it was getting darker, I drove slowly . Other drivers seemed more polite than usual that evening. The police even stopped traffic to let us through . Carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, "There's a long line of cars behind . Why don't they overtake (超車) ?"
Just at that time a police car did overtake. The two officers (警官)inside looked at us seriously when they went past . But then , with a kind smile they asked us to follow their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church (教堂) . One of the offices came to me."Right, sir, " he said. "Do you need any more help now?"
I didn't quite understand . "Thanks, officer, " I said . "You've been very kind. I lived just down the road. "
He was looking at our things: first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. "Well, Well, " he said and laughed . "It's a bookshelf you've got there ! We thought it was-er, something else . "
My wife began to laugh . Suddenly I understood why the police drove here .

Look at the picture. It's a small room. We can see Betty in it. There is a bed and a desk in her room. What's on the wall? It's a map of England. We can see a photo (照片) near the map. It's Betty's photo. We can see a clock on the table. There are some flowers near it. Is her black cat on the bed? No, it's her hat. Where's her bag? It's on the bed, too.
1. Whose (誰(shuí)的) room is it? 2. Is the room big or small?
3. What's on the wall? 4. Where are the flowers?
5. What colour is Betty's hat?
參考答案
解答:閱讀題對(duì)于初學(xué)者來說略有困難。學(xué)生希望直接從文章中找到答案。有的題可以但有的題卻不能。這篇文章介紹的是一幅畫。沒有提到房間是Betty的,但所介紹的物品與她有關(guān),故房間是Betty的。
1、答案為It's Betty's.
2、文章的第二句表明房間小,故答案為It's small.
3、墻上除了有英國(guó)地圖外,旁邊還有一張照片,故答案為There is a map of England and a photo.
4、文章沒有說花在桌子上,但鐘在桌子上,花在它的旁邊,當(dāng)然花在桌子上,故答案為They're on the table.
5、文章也沒講Betty的帽子是什么顏色,但把床上的帽子誤認(rèn)為黑色的貓。由此可見她的帽子是黑色的,故答案為It's black.

―God made the world, but the Dutch made Holland.‖ True to this saying, the people of the Netherlands are again ―making‖ their land.
About 1980 the Netherlands will complete a project begun in the 1920’s:
transforming the Zyuder Zee, an inlet (小港) of the North Sea into dry land and a freshwater lake. By stages, 550,000 acres of land will serve several purposes: industrial, recreational, military, and agricultural. Fed by the river Yssel, the remaining water basin Lake Yssel, about 300,000 acres will irrigate the surrounding land and help in the fight against salination (鹽化作用). Excess water will drain through sluices into the sea.
As the first stop a nineteen-mile-long barrier dam, rising twenty-five feet above sea level, closed the entrance to the Zuider Zee. Then the experimental polder of a hundred acres preceded the first and smallest of the main polders fifty thousand acres that became dry land in 1930. The fifth and largest polder 150,000 acres will be the last of the Zuider Zee works.
Farmers for the new polder (開拓地) come from every province. The Eastern Flevoland polder, completed in 1957, became farmland for many from the province of Zealand which was badly hit by the disastrous floods of 1953. ( D )1. This article gives a present-day example of how__________.
A. salty soils are desalinated B. the Netherlands has increased its land area
C. irrigation systems are built D. dams are constructed
