2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习讲义 阅读理解及训练02 作者意图题指导小试牛刀-阅读理解There seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do. In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world. What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the word and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic(北极的) people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Variations depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles. Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the times and subject to the limitations of available materials. 68. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that_. A. their social roles are rigidly determined B. they like challenging activitiesC. most boys would like to follow their fathers professions D. boys like to play with their fathers while girl with their mothers 69. One aspect of “the universality of toys” lies in the fact that_. A. the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the world B. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toys C. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toys D. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities 70. Which of the following is the authors view on the historical development of toys? A. Toys are playing an increasingly important role in shaping a childs character. B. The toy industry has witnessed great leaps in technology in recent years. C. The craftsmanship in toy - making has remained essentially unchanged. D. Toys have remained basically the same all through the centuries. 71. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys_.A. reflect the pace of social progressB. are not characterized by technological progressC. follow a direct line of ascentD. also appeal greatly to adults72. The author uses the example of a rattle to show that_.A. it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy - makingB. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timeD. in toy - making there is a continuity in the use of materials68-72 AADBC*结束例1 （xx全国II）Cold weather can hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When youre cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pets water. Sometimes owners dont realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet cant get anything to drink. Animals that dont have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.44. What is the purpose of this text?A. To solve a problem.B.
