Lesson 4 Reasoning and Paragraph Writing Lesson 4 单元测验
1、 Read the following passage. Tell if it is reasoning or explaining.Both the toy mice were the same size and shape so the dog, Misty, was confused. Although one mouse was red and one was blue, Misty was unable to tell which mouse was his toy simply by looking. Like other dogs, he needed to sniff them both, using his sense of smell to tell them apart, because he couldn’t discriminate between different colors.
答案: explaining
2、 Read the following passage. Tell if it is reasoning or explaining.The images of horses, bisons and red deer found in Cresswell Crags, England, bear remarkable similarities to those found in Germany.

This suggests that there were greater cultural links between continental Europe and Britain during the Ice Age than was formerly believed.
答案: reasoning
3、 Read the following paragraph and identify the problem.Just as history repeats itself, fashions have a tendency to do the same. In the 1960s, for example, women wore miniskirts that came several inches above the knee; some forty years later, the fashion magazines are featuring this same type of dress, and many teenagers are wearing them. The miniskirt has always been for slender women. I wonder if the fashion industry deliberately recycles. Men wore their hair long in the hippie period of the late 1960s and 1970s. Today, some men are again letting their hair grow. Beards, considered“in” during the 1970s, have once again made an appearance.

what we can see;
