第二节 短文理解 阅读下面的短文,从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中,选出最佳选项回答问题或完成句子。
A
Recently, a junior high school sent several students back home because they broke the school uniform(校服)rules. Should students wear school uniforms? The Young World magazine held a discussion on this topic(话题).
Kennedy: The school uniform is very important, because it always reminds me that I am supposed to go out of my way to study hard. It also helps prevent school bullying(欺凌). If everyone wears the same clothes, it is impossible to laugh at other people’s clothing.
Manson: The uniform has to be earned(获得)through efforts. Students should start school with no uniforms. As they make progress at school, they start wearing it. I always think children need to be proud of their school. The uniform is important for that. So, make students earn it! If they don’t perform well, they should not be allowed to get one.
Moorhead: In my opinion, kids don’t have to wear uniforms. There should be more choices open to kids in education. They ought to develop their own independence and just be themselves. Their personalities would be expressed through their own clothes at school. And different dress could be one way of showing their understanding of beauty. Besides, they make the school lively and colorful.
Patrick: I can see the advantages of wearing school uniforms. They play a very important role in managing schools. However, a school should not depend heavily on uniforms to improve students’ behaviors. Teaching them how to express themselves with confidence(信心)is more important. 26. What does the writer mean to do in Paragraph 1? A. Present an opinion on a subject. B. Introduce a topic for discussion. C. Provide a way to solve problems.
27. What is Kennedy in the second paragraph? A. A student.

28. In Manson’s opinion, ___________ .
A. students have the right to get school uniforms for free B. students should be encouraged to earn school uniforms C. students performing well needn’t wear school uniforms 29. According to Patrick, what is more important? A. Managing schools by uniforms. B. Improving students’ behaviors.
C. Helping students express themselves confidently. 30. We can learn from the text that ___________ . A. Kennedy can’t stand school uniforms B. Moorhead is against school uniform rules C. the writer holds the same opinion as Patrick’s
B
C. A parent.
It is believed that Huck Finn is based ona childhood friend of Mark Twain’s. In fact, Twain was not alone (基于)in basing a fictional character(虚构的角色)on a real-life person.
Severus Snape / John Nettleship
Severus Snape is a skillful wizard(巫师)teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J.K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.
The teacher turned out to be John Nettleship, who taught Rowling chemistry. At first, Nettleship felt surprised. “I know I am a strict teacher,” he said. “But I don’t think I am as bad as Snape!” On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.
Alice / Alice Liddell
Famously, Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is based on Alice Liddell.
Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story. Carroll began to create his famous tale of Alice and what happened after she fell through the rabbit hole. The little girl liked the story so much that she asked him to write it down. And the rest is history.
Dill / Truman Capote
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee based Dill on her childhood friend, Truman Capote. Capote once said, “Lee was my best friend. Have you ever read To Kill a Mockingbird? I’m a character in that story! The story takes place just in the town where we lived!”
