Dollhouse began in Europe in the 1600s when they were referred to as "Baby Houses." These houses were made up of several cupboards. In the cupboards, everyday objects created on a tiny scale were displayed ( 展示 ).The displays focused on the way people lived at that time. They showed detailed household ( 家庭 ), routines with servants, and kitchen settings, etc These were carefully designed, and only the upper class could afford to have them built. As time went on, factories were built to make dollhouses. Germany was the leader of dollhouse makers before World War I. These houses were shipped throughout Central Europe and England, and even to America Later, the folding dollhouse became popular. Around 1894, an American company produced dollhouses that had four rooms. Children could share such dollhouses when they were playing games. During World War I, Germany needed their resources to fuel the war. As a result, other countries began to make more dollhouses. After World War II, dollhouses produced in the US were usually made of plastic and metal. In the 1970s, people became interested in wooden dollhouses again.Besides children, today's dollhouses are also designed for the adult collectors. Americans think of dollhouses as a toy for children.A、TrueB、FalseC、Not Given试题答案:[['A']]试题解析:美国人认为玩具屋是给孩子们玩的玩具。

In the preceding century, art had lost many of its traditional functions. It had ceased to be an important method for recording the way things look because that job had been taken over by the camera. Artists now sought to isolate the special province of art, to define its own particular essence. Painters and sculptors joined other intellectuals in questioning classical standards based on rationalized patterns and generalized ideals. The world view of the 1890s had been so altered by the tumultuous changes of the nineteenth century that the cool, orderly classical figure style and static Renaissance compositions no longer seemed appropriate forms of expression.(2)In 1886 the painter Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) came from Holland to France,where he produced a revolution in the use of color. He used purer, brighter colors than artists had used before, he also recognized that color, like other formal qualities, could act as a language in and of itself He believed that the local or "real" color of an object does not necessarily express the artisfs experience. Artists, according to van Gogh, should seek to paint things not as they are, but as the artists feel them. In Public Garden at Arles^ the colors of the pathway, the trees, and the sky are all far more intense and pure than the garden's real colors. Thus, van Gogh captures the whole experience of walking alone in the stillness of a hot afternoon.(3)Practically unknown in his lifetime, van Gogh's art became extremely influential soonafter his death in 1890. One of the first artists to be affected by his style was a Norwegian artist named Edward Munch (1863-1944), who discovered van Gogh's use of color in Paris. In The Dance of Life, Munch used strong, simple line and intense color to explore the unexpressed sexual stresses and conflicts that Sigmund Freud's studies were bringing to light. InGermany the tendency to use color fbr its power Io express psychological forces continued in the work of artists known as the German Expressionists.(4)Alongside the revolution in color, another revolution was occurring in the use of space.Ever since the Renaissance. European artists had treated the outside edges of paintings as window Games. The four sides of a frame bounded an imaginary cube of space一一a three dimensional world—in which figures and background were presented. From about 1880 on, Paul Cezanne (1839-1906) explored a new way of expressing the experience of seeing. He sought to create painting with perfectly designed compositions, true both to the subject matter and to his own perceptions. He also wanted to include and build upon tradition.(5)Between 1909 and 1914, Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and Georges Braque (1882-1963)worked together to develop a new style that is called cubism. Uke Cezanne, they explored the interplay between the flat world of the art of painting and the three-dimensional world of visual perception. The two worlds influence each other, so that in art as in lifb。

Not GivenThe KiltWhenever people from Scotland live in foreign countries, they are always asked: “Is Scotland that place where men wear skirts?” The short answer is yes, but there is more about the myths of Scottish” skirts.The “skirt”that Scotsmen (苏格兰男子)sometimes wear is called a kilt.It is part of the traditional dress of Scotland. The kilt is clearly very famous across the world. It seems that everybody has heard of it, and that most people have seen a picture of a man wearing one.People ’s knowledge and ideas about Scotsmen wearing these funny kilts come from films and television. Every time people from other countries ask about the kilt, they mention Mel Gibson’s film, Braveheart. In many countries, there are television programs about Scotland. These programs always include information or images of men in kilts.Of course, in Scotland, you will often see the kilt. The reality is, though, that you will most commonly see it in tourist areas. The main streets and tourist areas of Scotland always have a Scotsman wearing a kilt and all tourist shops in the country sell kilts in different colors.But kilts are not something that Scottish people see every day. Kilts are for special occasions, such as weddings, funerals and other big and important events. Scotsmen do not put on their kilt just to buy a bottle of milk and a loaf of bread at the local supermarket.The reason for this may be that kilts are very expensive. When a man wears a kilt, he normally wears it with a special shirt, jacket, socks and shoes. This is obviously not cheap. In fact, an average kilt outfit (全套服装) costs around £500.11.

There were many children in her family and they were poor. When Deborah was just a young girl, her father left and went off to sea. Being in poor health, her mother could not care for her children. So she sent them to live with different relatives, hoping these people would take care of her children.②Young Deborah, less than seven years old, had to work for a farmer. On the farm, she learned to ride and hunt. She did housework as well. Life was difficult, but Deborah worked hard and grew strong. The farmer had ten sons, and Deborah helped to take care of them. In the evening, she had the boys talk about their lessons with her. By this she learned what they learned. She also borrowed their schoolbooks to read every night. When she was 18, Deborah became a teacher.③Soon after she started her new career, the American revolution began. She wanted to fight for her country, but women could not be soldiers at that time. Deborah had a plan. She was tall for a woman of that time. She made herself a man’s suit and secretly practiced walking and talking like a man. Finally, she joined the army using the name Robert.④“Robert”was a brave soldier. He fought with courage in every battle, and other soldiers respected him. They never suspected that their fellow soldier was a woman. Once he caught a fever and had to go to the hospital. There a doctor found out that Robert was actually a woman. Deborah then had to leave the army but she was not punished. Some people said she even met General George Washington before she left.⑤Later, Deborah married a farmer and had three children. She taught in school and gave lectures about her time in the army till retirement. Deborah died at the age of 66. She was a true American hero.Task 116. Paragraph①:17. Paragraph②:18. Paragraph③:19.

Deborah was a hero .My Major ProblemDecision-making is something I struggle with. In fact, I’d rather have someone else make decisions for me.As I sat in a crowded information session ( 咨询会) at a college last summer, I was again faced with the pressure of making a decision. 26. H e then asked each of us to give our intended major. I looked at my mother with panic.A. teaching herself on the farmB. for her unusual courageC. a doctor discovered her secretD. her family couldn’t support herE. dressing and behaving like a manF. for her excellent teaching“A major?” I said. “I can’t even decide what socks to wear to school!”I wanted to say I was undecided. But as my turn to speak approached, my confidence decreased. 27. I watched the girl in front of me. She was searching for some obscure ( 鲜为人知的) major. I realized I couldn’t just say undecided. So, when my turn came, I uneasily said, “I want to major in business”, I could feel “liar” written all over my face.28. I felt ashamed. “Why couldn’t I have said that?” I thought. The admissions adviser even said that a lot of people were uncertain. That was why students have to decide until the end of the second year.I have no idea what I want to do with my life. All I know is that I don’t want to do anything that involves blood. 29. T his isn’t really narrowing it down I’ve been told many people start college with one major, and graduate with a degree in something totally different.After my experience at the information session, I’ve learned not to be afraid of saying I’m “undecided.”I know now that I am not the only one uncertain about future studies. I’m still experiencing a “major” problem. 30.A. Everyone before me had declared a major.B. So I’ve narrowed my list down to anything but medicine.C. The admissions officer asked us to introduce ourselves briefly.D. In the end, only one brave person said she was undecided.E. Admissions advisors help you to make decisions.F. However, I’m confident I’ll find a solution.Choosing FriendsIn our daily life, it’s nice to have friends. While family is 31. important, friends are a different support system of your choosing. As the 32. goes, “You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends.”Choosing them wisely can 33. your life more exciting and inspiring.Deciding whom you choose as your friends says as much about you as it does them. You may choose your friends 34. on similar interests. You may choose them because you’re opposites of each other and find this interesting. Often, friends become “friends” because they are naturally attracted towards each other due to 35. personalities. Sometimes it’s just circumstances that bring two individuals together who then become friends.Whatever prompts a friendship, developing one is a very 36. e xperience. This is especially true when, before you know it, a certain 37. turns into a unique lifelong closefriendship. Again, it’s been said that a person 38. has only a couple of very close friends in their life. Think of whom you 39. a s truly close friends. These are those few individuals you can 40. and share deep thoughts and concerns with.BatsMany people think bats look frightening (frighten). But research has 41. (show) that bats are kind animals.

Passage OneKey James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black. Once, during an Abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life. "If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice. " James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare. She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family. Now she discovers another child is on the way. How would you counsel that woman, asked James. "Have an abortion," the woman responded. "That child would have a very poor quality of life. " "I have a vested interest in your answer," James said. "The woman I described was my mother. I was the fifth of six children born into poverty.

Week by week her list grew: I was skinny, I wasn't a good student, I was boyish, I talked too loud, and so on.I put up with her as long as I could. At last, with great anger, I ran to my father in tears. He listened to my outburst quietly. Then he asked, "Are the things she says true or not?" True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it? "Mary, didn't you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said. " I did as he directed and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change ( like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the first time in my life I got a fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. "That's just for you," he said. "You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hearit. But you've got to learn to listen, not to close your ears in anger or hurt. When something said about you is true you'll know it. You'll find that it will echo inside you.

2017年10月自考:英语阅读理解练习题及答案解析
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusand-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.
A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selves
B.readers to try to be popular with people around
C.parents to try to control and guide their children
D.people to try to understand and respect each other
2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.
A.growing away from their parents
B.following the popularity trend
C.walking a new way on their own
D.turning to their friends for help
3.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to ________.
A.the distractive and variable society
B.the dazzling music world
C.the parental care and love
D.the popularity wave in the society
4.What does the author think of advertisements?
A.Convincing.
B.Instructive.
C.Influential.
D.Authoritative.
5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands up against the popularity wave and follows his/her own path?
A.He/She falls behind the time.
B.He/She loses good friends.
C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D.He/She gains valuable popularity.
答案及解析
1.A 主旨大意题。
文章首先分析了青少年从众这一不良现象,然后告诉我们,要想有所作为,青少年应该有自己的特色,并分析了其意义和困难,由此可见,关键词就是teenagers。
故选A。
2.B 推理判断题。
由文章可知,作者并不赞成青少年从众。
3.D 词义猜测题。
这是对上文的“…wear the same clothes,…they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record”的比喻,指的就是社会上的流行波。
4.C 推理判断题。
倒数第二段作者说“All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.”All this就包括前文说的广告(advertisements),也就是说作者认为,广告对青少年的流行波是有影响的,故选C。
5.D 推理判断题。
