GRE阅读小笔记Exercise 5 The belief that art originates in intuitive rather than
rational faculties was worked out historically and
philosophically in the somewhat wearisome volumes of
Benedetto Croce, who is usually considered the originator
5 of a new aesthetic. Croce was, in fact, expressing a very
old idea. Long before the Romantics stressed intuition
and self-expression, the frenzy of inspiration was
regarded as fundamental to art, but philosophers had
always assumed it must be controlled by law and by the
10 intellectual power of putting things into harmonious order.
This general philosophic concept of art was supported by
technical necessities. It was necessary to master certain
laws and to use intellect in order to build Gothic
cathedrals, or set up the stained glass windows of
15 Chartres. When this bracing element of craftsmanship
ceased to dominate artists‘ outlook, new technical
elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual
element in art. Such were linear perspective and anatomy.
(156 words)
====================================
6. The passage suggests that which of the following
would most likely have occurred if linear perspective
and anatomy had not come to influence artistic
endeavor?
(A) The craftsmanship that shaped Gothic
architecture would have continued to
dominate artists‘ outlooks.
(B) Some other technical elements would have
been adopted to discipline artistic inspiration.
(C) Intellectual control over artistic inspiration
would not have influenced painting as it
did architecture.
(D) The role of intuitive inspiration would not
have remained fundamental to theories of
artistic creation.
(E) The assumptions of aesthetic philosophers
before Croce would have been invalidated.
7. Select the sentence in the passage that indicates a
traditional assumption of aesthetic philosophers.
8. The author mentions ―linear perspective and anatomy‖ in the last sentence in order to do
which of the following ?
(A) Expand his argument to include painting as
well as architecture
(B) Indicate his disagreement with Croce‘s
theory of the origins of art
(C) Support his point that rational order of
some kind has often seemed to discipline
artistic inspiration
(D) Explain the rational elements in Gothic
painting that corresponded to craftsmanship
in Gothic architecture
(E) Show the increasing sophistication of artists
after the Gothic period
================================= Nahuatl, like Greek and German, is a language that allows the formation of extensive compounds. By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual
5 relations, often of an abstract universal character.
The tlamatinime (―those who know‖) were able to
use this rich stock of abstract terms to express the nuances of their thought. They also availed themselves of other forms of expression with metaphorical meaning, 10 some probably original, some derived from Toltec coinages. Of these forms the most characteristic in Nahuatl is the juxtaposition of two words that, because they are synonyms, associated terms, or even contraries, complement each other to evoke one single idea. Used as 15 metaphor, the juxtaposed terms connote specific or essential traits of the being they refer to, introducing a mode of poetry as an almost habitual form of expression. (140 words)
===================================
9. According to the passage, some abstract
universal ideas can be expressed in Nahuatl by
(A) taking away from a word any reference to particular instances
(B) removing a word from its associations with
other words
(C) giving a word a new and opposite meaning
(D) putting various meaningful elements
together in one word
(E) turning each word of a phrase into a poetic
metaphor
For the following question, consider each of the
choices separately and select all that apply
10. It can be inferred solely from the information
in the passage EXCEPT that
□A all abstract universal ideas are ideas of
complex relations
□B some record or evidence of the thought of
the tlamatinime exists
□C metaphors are always used in Nahuatl to
express abstract conceptual relationships
OK, here are the answers!

Q6：由linear perspective and anatomy 定位至文章末尾，往前看至原文line 16，“new technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art. Such were linear perspective (linear perspective: 直线透视图) and anatomy. 通过new technical elements had to be adopted可以推知在那之前就有一些technical elements 已经被采用。所以正确选项B；
Q7:由assumption & philosophers. 定位至line 6，Long before the Romantics stressed intuition and self-expression, the frenzy of inspiration was regarded as fundamental to art, but philosophers had always assumed it must be controlled by law and by the intellectual power of putting things into harmonious order.
Q8：看到原文说了这么一句话：“It was necessary to master certain laws and to use intellect in order to build Gothic cathedrals, or set up the stained glass windows of Chartres. When this bracing element of craftsmanship ceased to dominate artists’ outlook, new technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art.”所以正确答案C；
阅读2：
Q9：由abstract universal ideas定位至line5，再往前看到了By the combination of radicals or semantic elements, single compound words can express complex conceptual relations, 所以很明显，正确答案D；
Q10：哪个是从原文找不到的，注意except，这种题常常一不小心就选反了
解析：A选项一上来就看到个all，这种极端词汇哪能轻易用呢？于是乎抱着极大的怀疑感找到了line5 的often，所以A选项与原文不符，正确；
B选项说的是有关于t...那个东东的记录，看到第二段一上来在说些什么了吧，没有记录怎么能知道那么多关于t...的东西，所以B可从原文推断，不选；
C选项和A一样，are always used...所以有悖于原文，选；关于该选项有个别书籍答案没有选，但是请注意，这是OG里面的原文，官方指南都选了，那当然要跟着权威一起选啦~~~
Many theories have been formulated to explain the
role of grazers such as zooplankton in controlling the
amount of planktonic algae (phytoplankton) in lakes.
The first theories of such grazer control were merely
5 based on observations of negative correlations
between algal and zooplankton numbers. A low num-
ber of algal cells in the presence of a high number of
grazers suggested, but did not prove, that the grazers
had removed most of the algae. The converse obser-
10 vation, of the absence of grazers in areas of high
phytoplankton concentration, led Hardy to propose
his principle of animal exclusion, which hypothe-
sized that phytoplankton produced a repellent that
excluded grazers from regions of high phytoplankton
15 concentration. This was the first suggestion of algal
defenses against grazing.
Perhaps the fact that many of these first studies
considered only algae of a size that could be collected
in a net (net phytoplankton), a practice that over-
20 looked the smaller phytoplankton (nannoplankton)
that we now know grazers are most likely to feed on,
led to a de-emphasis of the role of grazers in subse-
quent research. Increasingly, as in the individual
studies of Lund, Round, and Reynolds, researchers
25 began to stress the importance of environmental
factors such as temperature, light, and water move-
ments in controlling algal numbers. These environ-
mental factors were amenable to field monitoring and
to simulation in the laboratory. Grazing was believed
30 to have some effect on algal numbers, especially after
phytoplankton growth rates declined at the end of
bloom periods, but grazing was considered a minor
component of models that predicted algal population
dynamics.
35 The potential magnitude of grazing pressure on
freshwater phytoplankton has only recently been
determined empirically. Studies by Hargrave and
Geen estimated natural community grazing rates by
measuring feeding rates of individual zooplankton
40 species in the laboratory and then computing com-
munity grazing rates for field conditions using the known population density of grazers. The high esti- mates of grazing pressure postulated by these researchers were not fully accepted, however, until the
45 grazing rates of zooplankton were determined directly in the field, by means of new experimental techniques. Using a specially prepared feeding chamber, Haney
was able to record zooplankton grazing rates in natural field conditions. In the periods of peak zooplankton
50 abundance, that is, in the late spring and in the summer, Haney recorded maximum daily community grazing rates, for nutrient-poor lakes and bog lakes, respectively, of 6.6 percent and 114 percent of daily phytoplankton production. Cladocerans had higher grazing rates than
55 copepods, usually accounting for 80 percent of the community grazing rate. These rates varied seasonally, reaching the lowest point in the winter and early spring. Haney‘s thorough research provides convincing field evidence that grazers can exert significant pressure on
60 phytoplankton population. (461 words)
======================================= 1. It can be inferred from the passage that the ―first theories‖ of grazer control mentioned in the first paragraph would have been more convincing if researchers had been able to
(A) observe high phytoplankton numbers under
natural lake conditions
(B) discover negative correlations between
algae and zooplankton numbers from their
field research
(C) understand the central importance of environmental factors in controlling the
growth rates of phytoplankton
(D) make verifiable correlations of cause and
effect between zooplankton and
phytoplankton numbers
(E) invent laboratory techniques that would
have allowed them to bypass their field
research concerning grazer control
2. Which of the following, if true, would call into question Hardy‘s principle of animal exclusion?
(A) Zooplankton are not the only organisms
that are affected by phytoplankton
repellents.
(B) Zooplankton exclusion is unrelated to phytoplankton population density.
(C) Zooplankton population density is higher
during some parts of the year than during
others.
(D) Net phytoplankton are more likely to
exclude zooplankton than are
nannoplankton.
(E) Phytoplankton numbers can be strongly
affected by environmental factors.
For the following question, consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply
3. The author would be likely to agree with
which of the following statements regarding
the pressure of grazers on phytoplankton
numbers?
□A Grazing pressure can vary according to the individual type of zooplankton.
□B Grazing pressure can be lower in nutrient-poor lakes than in bog lakes.
□C Grazing tends to exert about the same
pressure as does temperature.
4. It can be inferred from the passage that one way
in which many of the early researchers on grazer control could have improved their data would
have been to
(A) emphasize the effects of temperature, rather
than of light, on phytoplankton
(B) disregard nannoplankton in their analysis of phytoplankton numbers
(C) collect phytoplankton of all sizes before analyzing the extent of phytoplankton
concentration
(D) recognize that phytoplankton other than net phytoplankton could be collected in a net
(E) understand the crucial significance of net phytoplankton in the diet of zooplankton
5. According to the passage, Hargrave and Geen
did which of the following in their experiments?
(A) They compared the grazing rates of
individual zooplankton species in the
laboratory with the natural grazing rates
of these species.
(B) The hypothesized about the population
density of grazers in natural habitats by
using data concerning the population
density of grazers in the laboratory.
(C) They estimated the community grazing rates
of zooplankton in the laboratory by using
data concerning the natural community
grazing rates of zooplankton.
(D) They estimated the natural community
grazing rates of zooplankton by using
data concerning the known population
density of phytoplankton.
(E) They estimated the natural community
grazing rates of zooplankton by using
laboratory data concerning the grazing
rates of individual zooplankton species.
文章较长，先来个翻译。
科学家迄今已阐述了诸多理论,用以解释诸如浮游动物（zooplankton）一类的食草动物（grazer）在控制湖泊中浮游水藻（浮游植物，phytoplankton）数量这方面的作用。有关这种食草动物控制作用的最初理论，所依据的仅仅是对水藻数量的浮游动物数量间的负联系所作的观察。在存在大量食草动物的同时却只有少量的水藻花粉囊，这暗示出——但没能证明——食草动物已吞噬了大部分水藻。对相反情形的观察，即在浮游植物高度密集的区域食草动物荡然无存，致使哈代（Hardy）提出他那动物被驱逐的原理，该原理假设，浮游植物会制造出一种驱避物质（repellent），将食草动物从浮游植物高密集的区域驱赶出去。这是最早有关水藻抵御食草动物的吞噬所作出的暗示。
或许基于这一事实，即许多这些早期的研究仅仅考虑了一种其尺寸可用网兜收集起来的水藻（网浮游植物，net phytoplankton），而正是这一做法，忽略了我们现在所已知的食草动物最有可能赖以为生的较小浮游植物（纤浮游植物，nannoplankton），故而导致科学家在随后的研究中贬低食草动物的作用。正如在伦德、朗德、和雷诺兹（Lund，Round，and Reynolds）的单独研究中那样，科研人员开始越来越强调诸如温度光照、以及水的运动这类环境因素在控制水藻数量方面的重要性。这些环境因素可经受实地监测的检验和实验室内的模拟研究。食草动物的吞食据信会对水藻数量产生一定的影响，尤其是于开花期末期在浮游植物的生长率下降之后；但在那些预测水藻种群动态的模型中，食草动物的吞食视被作一个次要的组成部分。
浮游动物对生长在淡水中的浮游植物所产生的压力，其潜在强度只是在最近才得以通过经验主义的手段确定。由哈格雷夫（Hargrave）和吉恩（Geen）所进行的研究，对自然条件下的群落食草比例进行了估计，其手段是通过测量出实验室内单独的浮游动物种类的结食比例，然后利用已知的食草动物种群密度，计算出实地状况下的群落食草比例。然则，这两位科研人员所假设的食草压力的高估算，直到浮游动物的食草比率通过新的实验技术，直接牵头地获得确证之后，才获得充分的接受。凭借一种特殊准备的给食室，哈尼（Haney）得以记录下自然实地条件下浮游动物的食草比率。在浮游动物数量激增的高峰期，亦即在春季后期以及夏季，哈尼记录了最大程度上的每日群落食草比率，对于营养物不充足的湖和沼泽湖而言，分别为每日浮游植物繁殖量的 6.6%和114%。枝角目动物（cladoceran）的食草比率要高于桡足亚纲动物（copepod），一般占群落食草比率的80%。
这些比率会随季节而变化，在冬季和早春达到最低点。哈尼全面彻底的研究提供了令人信服的实地证据，证明食草动物确能对浮游植物的种群数量产生重大的压力。
Q1：由first theory 定位到line 4，文章提到，merely based on negative correlations, 所以当题目问道怎样能more convincing, 那当然是make verifiable correlations，选D；
Q2：哪个让H的theory有问题？
解析：由Hardy 定位到line9-12，原文说The converse observation, of the absence of grazers in areas of high phytoplankton concentration, led Hardy to propose his principle of animal exclusion。所以如果这个high phytoplankton concentration是与exclusion木有关系的，那么这个理论依据本身就有问题了，所以选B；
Q3：regarding the pressure of grazers on phytoplankton numbers作者同意那个？解析：由pressure定位至第三段，再根据选项找到具体位置，A由individual找到line39，正确，B由nutrition bog等词定位到52-54，又百分比可知该选项正确。选AB；
Q4：由early researchers 定位到para 2 段首句first studies，得知应该考虑到all sizes, 所以选C；
Q5：由H & G定位到line37，选E；
Since science tries to deal with reality, even the most
precise sciences normally work with more or less
imperfectly understood approximations toward which
Line scientists must maintain an appropriate skepticism. Thus,
5 for instance, it may come as a shock to mathematicians to
learn that the Schrodinger equation for the hydrogen atom
is not a literally correct description of this atom, but only
an approximation to a somewhat more correct equation
taking account of spin, magnetic dipole, and relativistic
10 effects; and that this corrected equation is itself only an
imperfect approximation to an infinite set of quantum
field-theoretical equations. Physicists, looking at the
original Schrodinger equation, learn to sense in it the
presence of many invisible terms in addition to the
15 differential terms visible, and this sense inspires an
entirely appropriate disregard for the purely technical
features of the equation. This very healthy skepticism is
foreign to the mathematical approach. Mathematics must
deal with well-defined situations. Thus, mathematicians
20 depend on an intellectual effort outside of mathematics
for the crucial specification of the approximation that
mathematics is to take literally. (177 words)
=======================================
11. According to the passage, scientists are skeptical
toward their equations because scientists
(A) work to explain real, rather than theoretical
or simplified, situations
(B) know that well-defined problems are often
the most difficult to solve
(C) are unable to express their data in terms of
multiple variables
(D) are unwilling to relax the axioms they have
developed
(E) are unable to accept mathematical
explanations of natural phenomena
12. The author implies that scientists develop a
healthy skepticism because they are aware that
(A) mathematicians are better able to solve
problems than are scientists
(B) changes in axiomatic propositions will
inevitably undermine scientific arguments
(C) well-defined situations are necessary for the
design of reliable experiments
(D) mathematical solutions can rarely be
applied to real problems
(E) some factors in most situations must remain
unknown

Q1：由skeptical定位到line 4，问原因，看到了文章第一个词since，很直白的一句话Since science tries to deal with reality，所以正确答案选A；
Q2：由healthy skeptism 定位到文章line17，还是问原因，那么好的往前看哈，Physicists, looking at the original Schrodinger equation, learn to sense in it the presence of many invisible terms in addition to the differential terms visible，看到了什么么？有一些是invisible的，所以选E；
GRE阅读小笔记Exercise 7 Hydrogeology is a science dealing with the properties, distribution, and circulation of water on the surface of the land, in the soil and underlying rocks, and Line in the atmosphere. The term ―geohydrology∥ is 5 sometimes erroneously used as a synonym for ―hydrogeology.∥ Geohydrology is concerned with underground water. There are many formations that contain water but are not part of the hydrologic cycle because of geologic changes that have isolated them 10 underground. These systems are properly termed geohydrologic but not hydrogeologic. Only when a system possesses natural or artificial boundaries that associate the water within it with the hydrologic cycle may the entire system properly be termed hydrogeologic. (107 words) ==================================== 1. It can be inferred that which of the following is most likely to be the subject of study by a geohydrologist? (A) Soft, porous rock being worn away by a waterfall (B) Water depositing minerals on the banks of a gorge through which the water runs (C) The trapping of water in a sealed underground rock cavern through the action of an earthquake (D) Water becoming unfit to drink through the release of pollutants into it from a manufacturing plant (E) The changing course of a river channel as the action of the water wears away the rocks past which the river flows 2.

⑥“那些书呢？”我抬头问那人，直言不讳。 ⑦“哪些书？没有了，就这些。”黑瘦矮的摊主似乎有些不耐烦。地上那些落满一层尘土的书已被收集在无序的纸箱里。摊主准备走，把空间让给清冷的风。 ⑧摊主见我还在翻看，便跺着脚催问买不买。他急着要走，因为冷，因为要吃饭，因为到了散摊的正午时光。于是询价，掏钱，打包，在柔和清冷的阳光抚摸中，我把那摞枣红色书籍带回了家。 ⑨用白菜价格买来的那排枣红色，宛如钱塘江涌出的一线潮，整齐醒目地摆在书橱中央。然而，望着捡漏得来的书籍和由它们簇成的风景，我却怎么也高兴不起来。 ⑩市场和文化一接轨，就成为买卖文化的市场，一切与文化沾边的标识，比如青铜、陶瓷、字画、家具、钱币、刺绣、木雕等等，都贴着文化的标签，以古董的身份在不同的位置出现和交易。至于真假，新旧，年代，那就考验淘宝者的眼力、胆识和运气。书，自然是文化的，可是，在这交易文化的市场里，除了古籍和稀有版本受到收藏者淘宝者的青睐外，其他都白菜萝卜般地拥挤在地摊上。一堆一堆任人翻、任人找、任人看的书，在这里成为真正的落魄者和流浪者，既失去了“书中自有黄金屋”和“书中自有颜如玉”的高贵价值，也失去了可以归属的身份证。它们的高贵去哪儿了呢？ ?寻找被遗失被冷落的那些高贵书籍，常成为我周末的主题。 ?在不同城市的文化市场和相同模样的地摊书摊上，我寻找到许多高贵的书籍，如四卷本《柳宗元集》，四卷本《乐府诗集》，三卷本
Exercise 11 Many critics of Eamily Bronte‘s novel Wuthering Heights see its second part as a counterpoint that comments on, if it does not reverse, the first part, where a ―roman c‖ reading receives more con?rma on. Seeing 5 the two parts as a whole is encouraged by the novel‘s sophisticated structure, revealed in its complex use of narrators and time shifts. Granted that the presence of these elements need not argue an authorial awareness of novelistic construction comparable to that of Henry 10 James, their presence does encourage attempts to unify the novel‘s heterogeneous parts. However, any interpretation that seeks to unify all of the novel‘s diverse elements is bound to be somewhat unconvincing. This is not because such an 15 interpretation necessarily stiffens into a thesis (although rigidity in any interpretation of this or of any novel is always a danger), but because Wuthering Heights has recalcitrant elements of undeniable power that, ultimately, resist inclusion in an all-encompassing 20 interpretation. In this respect, Wuthering Heights shares a feature of Hamlet. (164 words) 1. According to the passage, which of the following is a true statement about the first and second parts of Wuthering Heights? (A) The second part has received more attention from critics. (B) The second part has little relation to the first part. (C) The second part annuls the force of the first part. (D) The second part provides less substantiation for a ―roman c‖ reading. (E)The second part is better because it is more realistic. 2. Which of the following inferences about Henry James‘s awareness of novelistic construction is best supported by the passage? (A) James, more than any other novelist, was aware of the difficulties of novelistic construction. (B) James was very aware of the details of novel-

标题：从清华到阿尔伯塔大学交换全经历·尚友学院街 里面有关于UA的点点滴滴，如果是申请本科或研究生，可以跳过前面交换攻略部分，如果是交换，可以细读。鉴于我(清华热能工程系9字班)是清华大学和加拿大阿尔伯塔大学（University of Alberta）开展本科生交换项目的第一人，义不容辞的想给学弟学妹们留下一些经验教训和建议，遂成此文。这篇文章适用于清华大学欲赴阿尔伯塔大学交换的同学们，同时也可供清华出国交换生以及中国其他大学赴阿尔伯塔大学交换及留学的学生参考。 一、关于交换 清华大学本科生大三上学期和大三下学期有校级交换项目可供同学们选择，同时也会有系内的系级交换项目（例如人文学院、经管学院等）。像我这种系里面没有系级项目的工科男，果断选择校级交换，一般需要提前一年申请，记得关注info上面的申请信息。 第一个问题，必须是，为什么要交换？ 有的人想单纯的去体验国外的学术、生活、文化和思维方式，有的人铁心出国做科研，把交换作为出国的跳板，而我交换则是为了回答一个问题，我到底要不要出国深造？适不适合出国深造？以上的理由都无可厚非，可以确定的一点是，我认识的了解到的大部分同学和学长都认为交换绝对是一件回报大于投入的事情。无论去哪个国家哪个学校，从中得到的思维冲击，旅行的快乐，英语水平的提高，自己掌控生活的快感以及最重要的——在交换期间会比在清华有更多更多的自我思考的经历，说白了，就是一个深刻的自知的过程，明白自己想要什么，想过什么样的生活，因为当一个人独自面对自己的时候，才是最真实的时候。
二、交换前——准备阶段 1、首先是网申，在可以申请的时间段，登陆info——其他信息——外事信息管理——交换项目在线申报（交换项目在线查询系统可以查询XX校有XX人报名）。有任何疑问最好是直接去工字厅古月堂西院（荷园对面）问海外交流部的老师，她们人都很nice。 网申选校，是一个拼人品的过程，从无定数。一般来说美国的学校最难申，加拿大和欧洲的学校次之（当然你有小语种的话去对应的国家会有一定优势），日本韩国等亚洲国家最好申。至于香港台湾的话，变化很大，要看当年有多少人想去。 选校基本原则是专业合适，如果你是工科生，至少要保证去的学校的同类专业存在，去那边有课可上，回来可以课程替代。简言之，两件事，第一件是打开该校主页（如UA的www.ualberta.ca），找到自己的faculty以及curricul um，看每个课程的简介，然后找个学长帮你看看哪些课程和大三要学的课程比较相似，挑出来打印下来；第二件去系里面让管教务的老师帮你看看能不能替代，如果可以，那就没问题了。选择的时候注意时时关注想要交换的学校的已报名人数，这是个简单的概率问题，人多难去，人少好去，一般来说，如果你的学校通过初审的学生数小于该校的名额数，你都八九不离十可以走成的，老师真的很nice。这里重点说一下第二志愿，如果你宁为玉碎不为瓦全，一心只想去佐治亚理工、普度这样的学校，那就可以忽略之，但如果你非常想获得交换这次经历，而不那么在乎大学水平的话，建议你好好研究一下第二志愿，二志愿最好选一个已报名人数小于等于或略大于名额数的学校，可以瞄准加拿大、欧洲或新加坡选校。 2、网申完了还有一堆材料要交、手续要办，包括个人中英文简历、个人陈述等等，这些材料并不那么重要，但一定要认真对待，一个认真的态度、好的写作格式和合适的语气措辞加上够格的简历就能保证你过初审（记得学分绩的硬性要求是前二分之一，不知道改了没有）。 初审一般会刷三分之一左右的人，过了初审老师会给你打电话告诉你面试时间和地点，个人认为从接到通知到面试这段时间比较重要，需要好好重新审视自己交过的材料，老师很有可能会问你一些关于你个人陈述的问题。另外
新部编七年级语文上册课外阅读理解阅读训练及答案 一、部编语文七年级上册课外阅读理解练习 1．阅读下面短文，完成练习。 四月的维也纳 开头几天，四月的维也纳真令我失望。此时的春天似乎只是绿色连看绿色。大片大片的草地上，没有五月那无所不在的明媚的小花。没有花的绿地是寂寞的。我对驾着车一同外出的留学生小吕说：“四月的维也纳可真乏味!绿色到处泛滥，见不到花几，下次再来非躲开四月不可!” 小吕听了，就把车子停住，叫我下车，把我领到路边一片非常开阔的草地上，然后让我蹲下来拨开草好好看看。我用手拨开草一看，大吃一惊：原来青草下边藏了满满一层花儿______白的______黄的______紫的______纯洁______娇小______鲜亮______这么多______这么密、这么辽阔!它们比青草只矮几厘米，躲在草下边，好像只要一努劲儿，就会齐刷刷地全冒出来…… “得要多少天才能冒出来?”我问。“也许过几天，也许就在明天。”小吕笑道，“四月的维也纳可说不准，一天换一个样儿。” 可是，当夜冷风冷雨，接连几天时下时停，太阳一直没露面儿。我很快就要离开这里去意大利了，便对小吕说：“这次看不到草地上那些花儿了，真有点遗憾呢，我想它们刚冒出来时肯定很壮观。“ 小吕驾着车没说话，大概也有些怏怏然吧。外边毛毛雨点把车窗遮得像拉了一道纱帘。可车子开出去十几分钟，小吕忽然对我说：“你看窗外”隔过雨窗，看不清外边，但窗外的颜色明显地变了：白色、黄色、紫色，在窗上流动。小吕停了车，手伸过来，一推我这边的车门，未等我弄明白是怎么回事，便说：“去看吧—你的花!” 迎着细密的、凉凉的飘在我脸上的雨点，我看到的竟是一片花的原野。这正是前几天那些千千万万朵花儿藏身的草地，此刻一下子全冒出来，顿时改天换地，整个世界铺满全新的色彩。虽然远处大片大片的花已经与蒙蒙细雨融在一起，低头却能清晰看到每一朵小花，在雨中都像英雄那样傲然挺立，明亮夺目，神气十足。我惊奇地想：它们为什么不是在温暖阳光下冒出来，偏偏在冷风冷雨中拔地而起?小小的花( )有如此气魄!四月的维也纳( )叫我明白了生命的意味是什么，是—勇气!这两个普通又非凡的字眼，又一次叫我突然感到心头一震。这一震，便使眼前的景象定格成为四月春天独有的壮丽的图画，并终于使我找到了。 （1）在第二自然段的横线处加上标点符号。 （2）在文中括号里填上带有“然”字的词语。 （3）第三自然段中的“冒”字换成“长”字合适吗?说说原因。 （4）作者由一朵朵小花悟出的哲理。 （5）你是怎么理解“它们为什么不是在温暖的阳光下冒出来，偏偏在冷风冷雨中拔地而起”这句话的? 【答案】（1），、、；、、；、 （2）竟然；忽然 （3）不合适，因为用“冒”字更形象、更生动地表现了维也纳的花儿呈现的状态。

小升初阅读理解100篇及答案 一、小升初语文阅读理解训练 1． 意外赔偿 ①那年初春，我在房前的小院里种了一些蔬来。悉心栽培了数月，到仲夏时院子里已是满眼油绿，让人看着心醉。每天我都在这里盘算着能有多少收获。 ②那天天气极好，阳光柔和，没有一丝风。看着蔬莱大多已经成熟，我兴奋地给朋友们打电话，邀请他们来与我分享劳动成果。打完电话，我便骑着单车到附近超市购买烹调所需的调味品。 ③两个小时后，我提着沉重的购物袋推开栅栏门，发现院子的地上凌乱地散落着一些嫩绿的菜叶。天啊！我的蔬菜转眼间已是叶落茎断。这是谁跑进来践踏了我的劳动成果？ ④突然，一个黄白相间、圆鼓鼓的家伙在蔬莱间蹒跚挪动，不时抖动着翅膀发出“嘎嘎”的叫声。我站在那里，气得一时说不出话来，真不敢相信这么一个小东西会把我的莱园糟蹋成这个样子。 ⑤和鸭子是讲不通道理的。但是，我决定要为自己讨个说法。我想起住在隔壁的那个老妇人养了几只鸭子。甚至听人谈论过，那老妇人几十年守寡，性格古怪，与周围的邻居很少讲话，她唯一的喜好就是饲养一些小家禽。 ⑥我按捺着心中的恼怒，用力敲开了她的房门：“请问夫人，您养的鸣子都在您的院子里吗？” ⑦她没有支声，默默地从我身边走过去，弓着腰用她那干瘪的手指指点着地上的鸭子。她反复数了几遍，然后转过头呆滞地打量着我。看得出，她的目光中带着许多疑问。 ⑧ “如果少了一只的话，那么它现在正在我院子里美餐呢！”我直截了当地说。老妇人愣了一下，一言不发地跟着我到莱园子里去找鸭子。 ⑨ 此时，那鸭子依然不停地啃着我的蔬莱。老妇人快步跑过去抱起鸭子，然后站在那儿静静地等待我的发落。 10“夫人，让我说您什么好！请看好您的鸭子，这样的事我不想再看到厖”我气愤地说，但不失礼貌。 11老妇人颤巍巍地点点头，一言不发，而后抱着那只鸭子蹒珊地走了。 12几个月后，老妇人搬走了。之后，我再也没有见过她，而那场莱园“风波”也被时间渐渐淹没了。 13圣诞节到了，轻柔的雪花把快乐的夜晚点缀得宛如仙境。晚上，我邀请了数位挚友到我家共度圣诞之夜。我们正开怀畅饮，门铃突然响了，邮递员给我送来了一个邮包。邮包上没有寄出的地址，邮包外面夹着一封信，上写：亲爱的孩子，你好吗？我曾住在你的隔壁。半年前，我养的鸭子损坏了你的菜，给你带来了极大的不快，我一直很内疚。今天是圣诞节，我要送给你一样特殊的礼物，请一定收下，因为这代表着我的深深歉意。 14我拆开包裹，轻轻剪开深色的密封塑料袋，一只焦黄流油、香气四溢的硕大的烤鸭赫然
[GMAT语法]Instead of v.s. instead的区别 尚友论坛【GMAT专区】 【尚友学堂GMAT公开课】 【GMAT机经专区】 【GMAT资料下载区】 【GMAT黄历查询】 先看下面这两句话，表达的意思重心都是小毛更喜欢青菜。 小毛爱吃菜而不是（Instead of）肉。 小毛不爱吃肉；相反（Instead），他爱吃菜。 在GMAT中前一句要用Instead of后一句要用Instead。 即：一个句子使用Instead强调要做的是后面内容，使用Instead of强调要做的的是前面的内容（instead of的内容是实际上不会发生、不会做的，表达的是一种否定语气）。 简单说：Instead表达“而是要”，Instead of表达“而不是” 下面是具体例子： Instead of (是…)而不是… 强调内容在Instead of前，Instead of的内容不是句子重心真正要做的，而是比照相对句子重心内容的附带对比内容。 例句： Shall we have fish instead of meat today?今天我们不吃肉吃鱼好吗? Give me this instead of that.给我这个, 不要那个。

Gone are the sharp edges and jutting planes of styles from former eras;instead, designers of everything from cars to computer monitors have adopted a cornerless style of smooth surfaces and curves that is more ergonomic, conforming to the shape of the body rather than flaunting shape for its own sake.
标题：美国大学教授的各类称呼·尚友学院街 在我们浏览美国大学网站时，会看到professor、associate professor等各类英文词。professor是教授，associat e professor是副教授，这些或许学生能理解，但assistant professor你是否又能理解呢？以下我们整理了美国大学教授的各类称呼，以及他们的职责，或许有助你对美国教师职称的进一步了解。美国大学中除系主任(depa rtment head or dean)之外，还有教授、副教授、讲师等等教员，不像英国的制度，只有系主任是教授，其余都是讲师。与美国教师职称制度相比，中国的情形与美国相近，不过美国的大学更复杂而已。在美国大学中正教授为p rofessor或full professor，其下是副教授为associate professor,而在副教授之下还有一个助理副教授为assistant professor。中国大学里没有这一级。也就是说assistant professor是助理副教授，地位处于讲师与副教授(associ ate professor)之间，而副教授又处在助理副教授(assistant professor)与正教授(professor)之间。与中国职称制度相配套，大家便生硬地认为professor为教授，assistant professor与associate professor均为副教授了。至于instructor是指专职的讲师，lecturer是指兼职的讲师。另外，还有reader，在英国大学里也是讲师，但在美国的大学里只是教授的助手，帮助教授改考试卷子等(correct examinations,themes,etc,for a professor)的人，即我们通常称为助教(assistant)的人。在美国的某些大学里，不称associate professor，而称为adjunct prof essor也是一样的副教授。此外，在美国还有年老退休的教授或光荣退职后的教授，仍然保留着他的头衔和地位的，成为a professor emeritus或an emeritus professor叫名誉教授。一个大学的全体教授的总称叫作profes sorate
Exercise 10 Currently, the paramount problem in the field of biomaterials, the science of replacing diseased tissue with human-made implants, is control over the interface, or Line surface, between implanted biomaterials and living 5 tissues. The physical properties of most tissues can be matched by careful selection of raw materials: metals, ceramics, or several varieties of polymer materials. Even the requirement that biomaterials processed from these materials be nontoxic to host tissue can be met by 10 techniques derived from studying the reactions of tissue cultures to biomaterials or from short-term implants. But achieving necessary matches in physical properties across interfaces between living and non-living matter requires knowledge of which molecules control the bonding of 15 cells to each other—an area that we have not yet explored thoroughly. Although recent research has allowed us to stabilize the tissue-biomaterial interface by controlling either the chemical reactions or the microstructure of the biomaterials, our fundamental understanding of how 20 implant devices adhere to tissues remains woefully incomplete. (159 words) 1. According to the passage, the major problem currently facing scientists in the field of bio- materials is (A) assessing and regulating the bonding between host tissue and implants (B) controlling the transfer of potentially toxic materials across the interface of tissue and implant (C) discovering new materials from which to construct implant devices (D) deciding in what situations implants are needed (E) determining the importance of short-term implants to long-term stability of tissue implant interfaces 2. The passage suggests which of the following about the recent research mentioned in the last
