八、阅读理解
A
Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books Many people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't think of themselves as "collectors" because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, some people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections were very valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites like Ebay. Or you can trade things you have for something else that you would like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly the same, you might be able to trade one of them for a different one that you prefer.
1. What does the writer mean by saying "Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books"
A. Nobody collects photos or books.
B. Most people collect things at some time.
C. Most people don't think they are collectors.
D. People can collect everything.
2. According to the writer, the following collections are unusual EXCEPT__________.
A. sweet papers B. matchboxes C. bus tickets D. photos
3. Which is true about Stuart Graham's collections
A. Graham collected 5,000 toy soldiers.
B. Graham's son Andy kept his collections.
C. Graham's collections brought Andy a lot of money.
D. Nobody wanted Graham's collections.
4. From the last paragraph, we can know _____________________.
A. when to collect things B. how to collect things
C. why to collect things D. what to collect
5. What is the best title for the passage
A. Collectors and Their Collections B. Two Extraordinary Collectors
C. Good Ways to Collect Things D. Mad Collections
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 4. B 5. D
【解析】这篇短文向读者是一位收藏家，他向读者又介绍了两位与众不同的收藏家和他们的藏品，并不只是介绍他们两个人的生平，作者也向读者简单介绍如何收集物品，全篇围绕关键词“收藏”展开
1. 考查推理判断。原文第二段这句话“Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books ”的意思是“有谁没有收藏照片或书籍的？”说明作者这么说是表示大多数人都在某个时间收集东西，而不是说“没有人收集照片或书籍”、“大多数人不认为自己是收藏家”或“人们可以收集所有东西”，故选B。
2. 考查细节理解。原文“Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes.”（罗伯特·奥皮（Robert Opie）收集我们通常扔掉的东西，例如旧报纸，精美的报纸和盒子）说明糖果纸是不寻常的藏品之一，原文“His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers.”（他的儿子安迪（Andy）发现斯图尔特（Stuart）是一位敏锐的收藏家，他发现父亲收集了超过5000张旧巴士票，3000个旧火柴盒和1000个玩具士兵。）说明公交车票、火柴盒也是不寻常的，因此作者并不认为照片是不寻常的藏品，故选D。
3. 考查细节理解。原文“His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers.”（他的儿子安迪（Andy）发现斯图尔特（Stuart）是一位敏锐的收藏家，他发现父亲收集了超过5000张旧巴士票，3000个旧火柴盒和1000名玩具士兵）说明格雷厄姆收集了1000个玩具兵，选项A错误。原文“After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.”（卖掉后，他用这笔钱买了一辆新车）说明格雷厄姆的儿子安迪卖掉了它们，得到了很多钱，并没有保留这些藏品，也说明有人要他的藏品，选项BD错误，故选C。
4. 考查细节理解。原文“Collectors collect things in different ways.”（收集者以不同的方式收集东西。）说明这一段主要讲如何收集东西，然后作者提出了几个小建议，故选B。
5. 考查最佳标题。这篇短文向读者就是一位收藏家，他向读者又介绍了两位与众不同的收藏家和他们的藏品，并不只是介绍他们两个人的生平，作者也向读者简单介绍如何收集物品，全篇围绕关键词“收藏”展开，内容新奇，最佳标题可以是“疯狂的收藏”，故选D。
B
Peter was at his grandparents’ house. He saw some coins in a bottle in the living room. 1 On each coin, Peter saw dates, famous people’s faces and values showing how much they are. Peter liked them so much. 2
He began his collection. 3 But that quickly became too small for all the different coins he collected.
4 When his family and friends went to the USA and the UK, he asked them to bring back coins. He also bought some coins on the internet, and some of them were really expensive.
It was quite a hobby, collecting coins. 5 Even the smell of metal made him smile. He was really into coins! The good thing about it was that you could use it if you really wanted to, but they were fun to look at, as well.

C. The next step was to collect coins from other countries.
D. They were so cool with wonderful information.

【答案】1. D 2. E 3. B 4. C 5. A
【导语】本文讲述了Peter因为在爷爷奶奶家看到了一些硬币，由此喜欢上收集硬币的故事。
1. 由下文“On each coin, Peter saw dates, famous people’s faces and values showing how much they are.”可知，硬币上有很多信息。选项D“它们带有很多美妙的信息，这很酷”符合语境。故选D。
2. 由上文“Peter liked them so much.”可知，Peter喜欢硬币，所以他想要收集硬币。选项E“他想要收集硬币”符合语境。故选E。
3. 由下文“But that quickly became too small for all the different coins he collected.”可知，Peter起初在一个很小的空间收藏硬币。选项B“他从书桌抽屉里的一个小盒子开始”符合语境。故选B。
. 由下文“When his family and friends went to the USA and the UK, he asked them to bring back coins.”可知，Peter会让去国外的家人朋友帮他带硬币回来。选项C“下一步是从其他国家收集硬币”符合语境。故选C。

A
Personally, I am not much of a collector. I collect photos of special times in my life, and I have a big collection of soft toys-rabbits, bears, elephants, dogs and snakes. I love them!
Most people collect things at some time in their life. Who hasn't got a collection of photos, or books Many people collect the letters or emails from friends. And most children have a good toy collection. Most people don't think of themselves as "collectors" because they think that having a lot of photos or toys is part of life. However, some people love collecting things as a hobby, and you can collect anything, from stamps to toys to football match programmes to old photos. In fact, some people have unusual collections.
For example, Robert Opie collects things we usually throw away, things like old newspapers, sweet papers and boxes. He has more than a quarter of a million things in his collection.
When Stuart Graham from Sydney, Australia died aged 87, he left behind some unusual collections. His son Andy only discovered Stuart was a keen collector when he found a collection of over 5,000 old bus tickets, 3,000 old matchboxes and 1,000 toy soldiers. Andy did not want to keep these collections and decided to look on the Internet to see if anyone else would like the collections. He was surprised to find out that his father's collections were very valuable. After he sold them, he bought a new car with the money.
Collectors collect things in different ways. You can go to specialist shops or markets to buy things for your collection, or you can buy collectors' magazines. You can even look on the Internet at sites like Ebay. Or you can trade things you have for something else that you would like. For example, if you have two stamps that are exactly the same, you might be able to trade one of them for a different one that you prefer.
