1、Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented by a unicorn.

     According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree.

      When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the power to offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed-by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.

56. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn?

 A. It was not historically recorded       

 B. Its horn was first used in France

    C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx         

    D. It could be the symbol of a university

57. To catch a unicorn, the unicorn-trappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT ____.

A. tempting the unicorn to attack         

B. making use of the tree as a protection

   C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn        

   D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree

 58. The last paragraph is mainly about ____.

A. the properties of the unicorn horn         

 B. the users of the unicorn horn

   C. the price of the unicorn horn        

   D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn

A. the cup is designed only for a royal family         

 B. the unicorn does not exist in reality

   C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world

   D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated

1、本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了传说中的独角兽,如何捕捉,以及独角兽角的用途等。

56.  D  细节理解题。由第一段最后一句不难得出答案。注意理解logo的意思为“作为标志的语句,标识语”。这是超纲但又是现在流行常用的词汇,需要注意积累。

57.  C  细节理解题。从第三段第二句  ….to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged.可知猎人先在独角兽前面引诱,然后迅速闪到其身后,待其角插在树里面,实际上就是利用树作为保护。

58.  A  主旨大意题。从最后一段不难得知主要讲述的是独角兽角的各种用途。
