When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could bare...

    When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger. Through practice he managed to get it right when he was about eight. Now at 23, not only can he use a pencil competently, he's using it to change the world, one stroke at a time.

Peter—who goes by the name Peter Draw felt the desire to draw with a purpose after meeting Daniel, a teenager with cerebral palsy(脑瘫), in November 2006. When Daniel first joined Peter's drawing class at the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, Peter doubted if Daniel could even complete a drawing. But stroke by stroke the then 17-ycar-old did.

"His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter, who has since taken on some mega projects to raise awareness for his cause.

Last October, he earned a place in the Guinness Book of Records for drawing the world's largest caricature(人物漫画). His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.

And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.

1.When Peter was a kid,       .

A.he had difficulty using his pencil B.he was unable to write a word

C.his fingers were flexible D.he couldn't practice writing

2.After Peter met Daniel, he intended to       .

A.learn drawing like Daniel B.help children through his drawing

C.become an action actor like Jackie Chan D.win a place in the Guinness Book of Records

3.The underlined word “mega” in Paragraph 3 may mean    .

A.profitable B.impressive C.interesting D.scary

4.What do we know about Peter?

A.He donated$6,000 to build houses for the poor.

B.He drew the world’s largest caricature in three days.

C.He raised a lot of money for Daniel to treat his disease.

D.He drew 952 sketches in 24 hours to raise a lot of money.

 

1.A 2.B 3.B 4.D 【解析】 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了画家Peter通过画了一些巨型的人物漫画来帮助孩子们的故事。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段中When Peter Zhuo was a kid, he could barely hold pencil properly. He'd either wrap all his fingers around it or hold it uncomfortably between his middle and fourth finger.可知Peter Zhuo小时候,他几乎不能正确握笔。他要么用所有的手指包住它,要么不舒服地用中指和无名指夹住它。由此可知,当Peter还是个孩子的时候,他很难使用铅笔。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段中"His passion for drawing really touched me. I felt I should do more with my drawing and help children at the same time," says Peter…可知“他对绘画的热情真的打动了我。我觉得我应该在画画的同时帮助孩子们,”Peter说……由此可知,Peter遇到Daniel后,他打算通过画画来帮助孩子们。故选B。 3. 词句猜测题。根据第四段中His 360-square-metre drawing of Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan is twice the size of the previous record. Peter completed it in just three-and-a-half hours while the previous record-holder took three days.可知Peter画的是香港动作明星成龙,面积为360平方米,是之前纪录的两倍。Peter只用了3个半小时就完成了,而之前的纪录保持者则用了3天。由此可知,Peter承担了一些让人印象深刻的大型项目,以提高人们对他的事业的认识。划线单词意思为“令人印象的”。A. profitable有利可图的;B. impressive令人印象深刻的;C. interesting有趣的;D. scary可怕的。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据最后一段And in December, he took on the challenge of drawing caricatures for 24 hours non-stop in order to raise money for Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds homes for the less fortunate. Peter completed 952 sketches(素描) during the time. The event raised $ 6, 000 through donations and his accomplishment earned him a mention in the Singapore Book of Records.可知去年12月,他接受了24小时不间断地画漫画的挑战,目的是为“人类家园”筹集资金。“人类家园”是一家为穷人建造房屋的非营利组织。彼得完成952素描期间。这次活动通过捐款筹集了6000美元,他的成就也让他被载入了《新加坡记录》。由此可知,Peter在24小时内画了952幅素描,以筹集很多钱。故选D。

Once there were three trees in the woods on a hill. They were discussing their hopes and dreams when the first tree said, “Someday hope to be a treasure chest (珍宝箱). I could be filled with gold, silver and valuable items. I could be decorated with beautiful designs and everyone would see the beauty.”

Then the second tree said. “Someday I will be a big and strong ship. I will take kings and queens across the waters and sail to the corners of the world. Everyone will feel safe in me because of the strength of my body.”

Finally, the third tree said, “I want to grow to be the tallest and straightest tree in the forest. People will come to see me on the top of the hill and look up to my branches and think of the sky and how close to it I am reaching. I will be the greatest tree of all time and people will always remember me.”

After few years of praying (祈祷) that their dreams would come true, the trees were visited by a group of woodsmen. When one came to the first tree, he said, “This tree looks like a strong one. I think I should be able to sell the wood to a carpenter. And he began cutting it down. The tree was very happy, because he knew that the carpenter would make him into a treasure chest.

At the second tree, a woodsman said, “This looks like a strong tree and I should be able to sell it to the ship factory.” The second tree was also very happy because he knew he was on his way to becoming huge and strong ship.

When woodsmen came upon the third tree, the tree was frightened because he knew that if they cut him down, his dream would not come true. One of the woodsmen said, “I don’t need anything special from my tree. I’ll take this one.” And he cut it down.
