六、能力點撥 閱讀(四)-- 文章結構分析

請閱讀下面短文,注意文章的結構:

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of other things they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.

Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money for a long time. Elephant tusks, monkey tails, and salt were used as money in parts of Africa. Cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.

The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, countries began to make coins of gold and silver.

But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than the paper money used today.

Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.

1．Rice was used as money for a long time ____.

A. in an European country B. in parts of Africa

C. in ancient China D. in the Philippine Island

2．The word “strung” in this article probably means ____.

A. tied B. came C. carried D. selected

3．People began to use paper money because they ____.

A．wanted to buy expensive goods B. wanted to save gold

C．found it more valuable D. found it more convenient

4．Coins in different countries are made of ____.

A．different metals but of the same design

B．the same metals but of the different design

C．different metals and of different design

D．the same metals and of the same design

5．The best title for this article is ____.

A．How Many Kinds of Money Are There In The World

B．Why People Began to Use Paper Money

C．Money in Different Countries

D．The History Of Money

參考答案：1. D 2. A 3. D 4. C 5. D

本篇閱讀文章的結構解析：在閱讀中最主要的是要抓住文章的體裁. 因為什么樣的體裁有什么樣的閱讀技巧和文章的結構分析. 此文章講述了“錢的歷史”,它是一篇說明文體, 因此這篇文章是采用 “先總后分” 的概念寫成的; 同時在各個分段上它還是采用了分頭敘述的概念---- 即每一個自然段的第一句話均作為了文章總起句的支撐句, 又作為本段落的觀點, 如錢幣的由來與它的歷史進行了較為深入的闡述。 在通讀全文的基礎上，大家應該對此有所了解。那么，1，3，4三道題較為容易理解。第二題是文字題。首先要求大家搞清上下文的邏輯，下文中的句子里已經出現了“and carried them from place to place”這樣的判斷句，因此也可得出正確的答案。第五題為文章中心題，再閱讀全文，大意可得。

When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These “Polar Bears” are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3C, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group; this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February. Doctor's do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter. The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming. The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says, "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

How old is the earth? The ancient Babylonians believed that the earth was 2 million years old. They were more correct than some people who lived much later.

In 1650, an Irish archbishop named James Ussher stated that the world was created at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 23, in 4004 B.C.. Ussher based this date on his studies of the Bible and other ancient writings. His statement was printed in a number of books and was accepted by many other scholars.

There were no geologists in Ussher’s time. It was only in the 1700s that people began to look carefully at the earth’s crust and understand what they saw. They began to realize that whole mountain ranges had been worn down by wind and water. Deep valleys had been carved by running streams.

By 1800, geologists were certain the earth’s surface had been greatly changed by slow forces. They estimated that the earth was probably more than 10 million years old. By 1900, geologists changed that figure to 100 million years. One person who helped change people’s ideas about the age of the earth was Charles Darwin. He proved that living creatures had changed, very slowly, over long periods of time.

In modern times, new evidence has shown that the earth’s age must be measured in billions, rather than millions of years. Astronomers, comparing the earth to the sun and some stars, estimated that the earth is 4 to 5 billion years old. Today, most scientists accept this estimate.

1. The age of the earth must be measured in ____.

A. hundreds of years B. thousands of years

C. billions of years D. months and years

2. The underlined word “estimated” in Paragraph Four means____.

A. judged B. calculated C. measured D. imagined

3. Charles Darwin changed people’s ideas ____.

A. about the dates on the rocks B. about how old they were

C. about the age of the earth D. about the Irish archbishop

4. While it is not directly stated, the article suggested that ____.

A．there have always been geologists

B．Charles Darwin changed animals

C．Scientists still learn about the earth

D．Estimating the age of the earth is not easy

5. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．We do not have an exact date for the creation of the earth.

B．There were no geologists in Ussher’s time.

C．Scientists kept changing their estimates of the earth’s age.

D．James Ussher was born on October 23 in 4004 B. C..
