十、阅读理解
A
Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails...these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and inspired today’s works. Let’s learn more about it!
Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC). Like an encyclopedia, it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30, 000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.
Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581—618) and Tang (618—907), or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters were also popular.
Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1, 600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021.
1. Why did the writer talk about the strange animals in Paragraph 1
A. To answer some questions. B. To give some examples.
C. To interest the readers. D. To make a conclusion.
2. The underlined word “inspired” in Paragraph 1 has similar meaning to the underlined word in ________.
A. We need someone to inspire the team.
B. He inspired many young people to take up basketball.
C. His driving hardly inspires confidence (信心).
D. His book was inspired by the story of a little girl.
3. Which of the following can you find in Shan Hai Jing    
①states ②mountains ③rivers ④plants ⑤monsters
A. ①②③④ B. ①②③⑤ C. ②③④⑤ D. ①③④⑤.
4. What is the main idea of the last paragraph
A. Many works borrow ideas from Shan Hai Jing.
B. Shan Hai Jing includes many special monsters.
C. Some monsters in the book go into movies.
D. Shan Hai Jing inspires Pop culture works.
B
So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases(数据库). And finally, non-scientists with specialized(专业的)knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it.
As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems(生态系统)in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like.
It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process.
1. What does the web-based EOL aim to do
A. To save all the plants. B. To work out the number of birds.
C. To find out what covers the Earth. D. To name all the living things on Earth.
2. What is one of the characteristics(特点)of the EOL
A. It is set up by school students.
B. It has been open to the public.
C. It is about different types of grass and birds.
D. It produces different kinds of information about species.
3. What does the underlined part “that process” refer to
A. Collecting data. B. Studying ecosystems.
C. Creating a new way. D. Describing and analyzing species.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are 1.8 million living species on earth.
B. There are no non-scientists helping in the site.
C. EOL is not useful for you to choose information.
D. As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them.

Foxes with nine tails, animals with human faces and fish bodies, turtles with bird heads and snake tails...these magical animals are from Shan Hai Jing (The Classic of Mountains and Seas). This old book played an important role in the world and inspired today’s works. Let’s learn more about it!
Shan Hai Jing took shape before the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC). Like an encyclopedia, it writes about the world in the eyes of people at that time. The 30, 000-word book records about 40 states, 550 mountains, 300 rivers, more than 100 people in history and 400 interesting animals.
Shan Hai Jing had a deep influence on the culture of mythology (神话学) in the world. It was taken to Japan during the Sui (581—618) and Tang (618—907), or much earlier. In Japan, it was popular. People there once saw it as a guidebook for traveling in China. The book’s monsters were also popular.
Shan Hai Jing has inspired many works. Liu Siliang is a teacher at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He said the book inspired the writing of Journey to the West and Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. Pop culture works also borrow ideas from the book. Some of animals in the book even go into movies, such as Zouwu, the star monster in Shan Hai Jing. It has a tiger-body with stripes of five colors. Its tail is longer than its body. It can travel 1, 600 kilometers in a day. We can see it in the popular movie Fantastic Beasts II in 2021.

B
So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species(物种), but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.
A soon-to-be-started website might help. Some scientists set up a web-based Encyclopaedia of Life (EOL). It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people. To get the encyclopaedia started, the scientists will use information in the scientific databases(数据库). And finally, non-scientists with specialized(专业的)knowledge will come to help in the site. Bird-watchers, for example, will be able to input what birds they see and where they live. To make sure the encyclopaedia is right, scientists will check much of the information added to it.
As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools. The site will make some special pages for kids who are studying ecosystems(生态系统)in their neighborhoods. And the EOL is also helpful for you to choose whatever information you like.
It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope the EOL will speed up that process.
1. What does the web-based EOL aim to do
A. To save all the plants. B. To work out the number of birds.
C. To find out what covers the Earth. D. To name all the living things on Earth.
2. What is one of the characteristics(特点)of the EOL
A. It is set up by school students.
B. It has been open to the public.
C. It is about different types of grass and birds.
D. It produces different kinds of information about species.
3. What does the underlined part “that process” refer to
A. Collecting data. B. Studying ecosystems.
C. Creating a new way. D. Describing and analyzing species.
4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. There are 1.8 million living species on earth.
B. There are no non-scientists helping in the site.
C. EOL is not useful for you to choose information.
D. As the EOL develops, students might find it’s useful for them.
【答案】1. D 2. D 3. A 4. D
【解析】本文讲了一些科学家建立了基于网络的生命百科全书,详细地介绍了它的目的和一些信息。
1. 细节理解题。根据“It wants to name every species on Earth and be a good guide for people.”可知EOL的目的是为地球上所有的生物命名。故选D。
2. 推理判断题。根据“So far, scientists have named about 1.8 million living species, but that is just a small number of what probably lives on Earth. With so many plants, animals, and other living things on the planet, it can be difficult to find out what kind of grass is growing by the roadside or what kind of birds just flew by.”可知地球上有如此多的植物、动物和其他生物,很难知道路边长着什么样的草,或者刚刚飞过的是什么样的鸟,EOL可能会有所帮助,由此推出EOL提供了不同种类的物种信息。故选D。
3. 词义猜测题。根据“It takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to analyze species now. The scientists of the Encyclopaedia of Life hope that EOL will speed up that process.”可知现在,科学家需要数年时间来收集分析物种所需的所有数据。生命百科全书的科学家们希望EOL能加快收集数据这一进程。可推出that process指代“收集数据”。故选A。
4. 细节理解题。根据“As the EOL develops, you might find it is useful for schools.”可知随着EOL的发展,学生可能会发现它对他们很有用,D项正确。故选D。
