　　. 閱讀理解

　　In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds as the wind blows through them. Although all kites have a similar structure(結構), they are widely different in size and shape. Kite-fighting competitions are also held, in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their opponents'(對手)kites or cut their strings(線)．

　　For more than 15 years, the Big Wind Kite Factory has been giving kite-making and kite-flying classes for the children on an island in Hawaii.In its kite-making lessons，students can make kites in as little as 20 minutes！Children as young as four years old can learn how to fly a kite.Jonathan Socher and his wife Daphne started the kite factory in 1980.Their kites are made of nylon(尼龍)．Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.The designs are cut out of the nylon with a hot knife that seals the edges and then fastened directly onto the kite.

　　The kite that is used to give lessons is a regular diamond kite with a rainbow pattern.The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.Big Wind employees fly the kite and for a few minutes show students how pulling on one line and then on the other controls the direction the kite goes in.Then the controls are given to the students.

　　Jonathan insists that it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite to have fun making and flying kites.Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.Go on, give it a try!

　　1．Which of the following is true according to the text?

　　A．A hot knife is used to iron the nylon.

　　B．Children never fly kites on their own in flying lessons.

　　C．Kite strings must not be cut in kite-fighting competitions.

　　D．Daphne designs kites for the Big Wind Kite Factory.

　　2．What is different about the kite used for flying lessons?

　　A．It has two strings.

　　B．It is simple in design.

　　C．It has a rainbow pattern.

　　D．It is shaped like a diamond.

　　3．According to Jonathan, what do you need to have fun with kites?

　　A．A large kite.

　　B．Any type of kite.

　　C．A complex structure.

　　D．A kite that impresses others.

　　4．What is mainly described in the text?

　　A．A kite factory.

　　B．Kite-flying lessons.

　　C．Special competitions.

　　D．The kite-making process.

　　【語篇解讀】 本文為一篇說明文。文章介紹了一家風箏廠15年來一直堅持為夏威夷一座島嶼上的孩子們開設風箏制作和風箏飛行的課程。

　　1．D　[本題考查細節理解和正誤判斷。根據第二段最后一句可知，使用加熱的刀是切割(cut)尼龍，而不是iron the nylon(熨燙尼龍)，故A項錯。B項與第三段最后一句“Then the controls are given to the students.”相悖。根據第一段最后一句“Kite-fighting competitions are also held，in which competitors use their kites to attack and bring down their　opponents'(對手)kites or cut their strings(線)．”可知C項錯。由第二段倒數第二句“Their designs are Hawaiian themes created by Daphne.”可知D項正確。]

　　2．A　[本題考查細節理解。根據第三段第二句“The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.”可知，與孩子們在制作課上制作的風箏不同的是飛行課上使用的風箏是雙線控制的，故選A。]

　　3．B　[本題考查觀點判斷。最后一段介紹的是Jonathan的觀點。根據“...it is not necessary to make a huge impressive kite”可知A項和D項不正確。C項與最后一段第二句“Even the simplest structure can work，and can give hours of fun.”相悖。結合最后一段可推知，Jonathan認為任何一個風箏都可以給你帶來快樂，故選B。]

　　4．A　[本題考查主旨大意。本文主要是介紹一家風箏廠15年來一直為夏威夷一座島嶼上的孩子們開設風箏制作和風箏飛行的課程。文章主要聚焦于這家工廠，介紹kite-making and kite-flying lessons是為介紹這家工廠服務的，另外文中涉及兩類課程，B項只是“風箏飛行課程”，顯然不全面。文章首段提到特殊的比賽，是為了引出風箏比賽，進而引出本文的中心話題，選C項就會本末倒置。D項“風箏制作過程”在文中并未涉及。]

　　沖擊“211”(長難句分析)

　　In Asia, there are special competitions where kites have complex designs and are fitted with instruments that make musical sounds；as the wind blows through them.

　　分析　這是一個主從復合句，主句：...there are special competitions；定語從句①where_kites_have_complex_designs修飾先行詞competitions；定語從句②where_kites_are_fitted_with_instruments修飾先行詞competitions；定語從句③that_make_musical_sounds修飾先行詞instruments；as the wind blows through them為狀語從句。

　　譯文　④在亞洲，有特殊的比賽，比賽過程中，風箏都有復雜的設計，并安裝有樂器，當風吹過它們的時候，產生音樂聲。

　　The difference between this kite and the ones they make during the lessons is that it is a two-string controllable kite.

　　分析　此復雜句的主干是：The difference is that it is a two-string controllable kite.定語從句：⑤...this kite and the ones they_make_during_the_lessons表語從句：⑥The difference...is_that_it_is_a_two-string_controllable_kite

　　譯文　⑦這個風箏與他們課上做的風箏的差別是此風箏是兩條線控制的風箏。

　　III. 根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　【參考范文】

　　With the wide use of the Internet in our daily life，more and more students tend to send electronic cards to friends and family members on the occasions of their birthdays or festivals.

　　Compared with paper cards，electronic ones have many advantages.Firstly，it's more convenient and quicker to send and receive them as well，without being limited by time and space.Secondly，they take various forms such as pictures，music and animation，which are more interesting and lively.Most importantly，electronic cards are more environmentally friendly and helpful to save both labor and natural resources.

　　For me，due to reminders，in QQ，I've never missed any chances to say“Happy birthday！”to my friends and grandparents far away via electronic cards.I have to say it is just the Internet that is making my life more colorful and comfortable.
