　　Zeuxis was a Greek painter who，according to legend was good at painting.Unfortunately none of his works has survived to the modern­day，but according to one source，during a painting competition the grapes he painted were so realistic that birds flew down and began eating them.Zeuxis eventually died while in the process of painting Aphrodite.The woman who had asked him to paint insisted on modelling for the painting; Zeuxis found the painting so funny that he died laughing at it.

　　Also known as Martin the Humane，he was King of Aragon，Valencia，Sardinia and Corsica and Count of Barcelona from 1396 and King of Sicily from 1409.One day，Martin had eaten an entire goose (鹅) and was suffering from indigestion.He was in his bedroom trying to shift the pain when his favourite minister—Borra—entered to entertain him.According to legend Martin asked him where he'd been and the minister replied: “Out of the vineyard (葡萄园)，where I saw a young deer hanging by his tail from a tree，as if someone had punished him for stealing grapes.” Martin laughed widely and then kicked the bucket.

　　Humans have been making boats for thousands of years.Archeologists have found evidence of boat building by early human beings all over the world.

　　Some of the earliest boats have been found on the Aleutian Islands，in the northwestern United States.People who lived there long ago ate sea mammals (哺乳动物) to survive.They used a small，quick kayak (爱斯基摩划子) to hunt the animals.Russians would later name the kayak a “baidarka.” It is only built on the Aleutian Islands.

　　Corey Freedman works at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle，Washington.He teaches students how to build baidarkas using methods that are respectful of the culture.

　　“We use very，very little materials，thus our boats are the lightest in the world.”

　　Students make the boats the same way boat builders did hundreds of years ago，except that they do not use animal skins.The boats are built without detailed technical plans or drawings or modern tools—except electric­powered tools.

　　“They're all done，built like sculptures，freehand.So it's more of an art than a science.”

　　A student named Jim had always wanted to make boats for about 40 years.He said it was the center that made his dream of making boats come true.Now in the center，he puts different pieces together without using nails.He is building his fourth kayak.Each one is built in about nine days.

　　Corey Freedman says the boats may look the same，but they have discrepancies.And the boats are shaped actually to their personality.Sounds hokey (夸张可笑的)，but if one person is more competitive than another，we're going to have different­shaped boats.All those things are taken advantage of.

　　The students at the center are adults.But Mr.Freedman also teaches young people in Alaska.They are from 12 to 14 years of age，and come from villages throughout the large state.

　　Mr.Freedman says he has loved boat building since he was a child.And he loves sharing his passion with people who live in an area where the boats were first made.

　　【语篇解读】　为了继承传统文化，美国的the Center for Wooden Boats教成年人以及孩子学习古代造船技术。

　　4．Early human beings built boats to ________.

　　A．travel on waterB．enjoy themselves

　　C．carry living goods

　　D．hunt animals

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第二段的“People who lived there long ago ate sea mammals (哺乳动物)to survive.They used a small，quick kayak (爱斯基摩划子) to hunt the animals.”可知，早期居住在那里的人以捕食海洋哺乳动物为生。他们用小的、敏捷的爱斯基摩划子猎杀海生动物。

　　【答案】　D

　　5．What do you know about the kayak?

　　A．It is a boat completely made of wood.

　　B．It was first made by Russians.

　　C．It is a boat made with animal skins.

　　D．It is a boat that is suitable for living in.

　　【解析】　推理判断题。根据第五段的“Students make the boats the same way boat builders did hundreds of years ago，except that they do not use animal skins.”可知，除了不用动物的皮，学生们用造船者数百年前的方法造船。由此可推知，爱斯基摩划子是用动物皮做成的。

　　【答案】　C

　　6．What does the underlined word “discrepancies” mean?

　　A．Numbers.

　　B．Differences.

　　C．Names.

　　D．Functions.

　　【解析】　词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“And the boats are shaped actually to their personality.Sounds hokey(夸张可笑的)，but if one person is more competitive than another，we're going to have different­shaped boats.”可知，实际上，船的形状符合它们的个性。听起来夸张可笑，但是如果一个人的竞争意识比其他人强，我们将会有不同形状的船。由此可知，Corey Freedman说船虽然看起来一样，但是却是不同的。由此可猜出画线词的含义为“不同”。

　　【答案】　B

　　7．From the passage，we can learn that ________.

　　A．children from Alaska are also taught at the center

　　B．all the boats are made according to the builders' looks

　　C．Mr.Freedman teaches how to make boats in Alaska and Seattle

　　D．Mr.Freedman teaches people how to build boats only at the center

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第三段的叙述可知，Corey Freedman在西雅图的the Center for Wooden Boats教怎样造船。根据倒数第二段“But Mr.Freedman also teaches young people in Alaska.”可知，Corey Freedman也在阿拉斯加州教年轻人造船。由此可知，Corey Freedman在西雅图和阿拉斯加州这两个地方教如何造船。
