Sometimes people call each other red-catbut have you ever thought about this
expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense,
and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream.
Although the cat doesn't 1 this, its body is getting ready for action.
If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It
will 2 itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. 3 , when people
are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies also go through
many 4 changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these
changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend
ourselves 5 run.
Human beings, 6 , have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to
our feelings and let them 7 , we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something
in anger, or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told
someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then 8 later you had
kept your mouth shut? It isn't always 9 to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it's smarter always to 10 our feelings? No! If
you 11 feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up
inside, your body stays 12 . Physical illnesses can develop. It can actually
be 13 for your health.
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just 14 . It's like you
bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them,
but 15 you'd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard,
you'd 16 little fruit flies hovering (盘旋) all over them. They'd be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions 17 they were bananas in the cupboard. You
can 18 they don't exist, but they'll still be 19 . And at last you'll have
to 20 them, just like those bananas.

2、
In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few
hours he would be flying to France to 1 adifferent life. It was a transitional (过
渡的) time in Daniel’s life. I wanted to
2 him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not
the 3 time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He
asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked 4 the
steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade
later, a similar 5 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave,
I tried to think of something to say to give him 6 and confidence as he started this
new stage of life. Again, words 7 me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 8 opportunities. How many
times have I let such moments 9 ? I don’t find a quiet moment to tell him what they
have 10 to me. Or what he might 11 to face in the years ahead. Maybe I
thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he
really thinks of him? 12 as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My
father and I loved each other. Yet, I always
13 never hearing him put his 14 into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat
and my throat tighten. Why is it so 15 to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly.
“Daniel,” I said. “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That’s all I
could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world 16 , and there were just Daniel and
me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn’t understand what he
was saying. All I was 17 of was the stubble(短须)on his chin as his face pressed
18 mine. What I had said to Daniel was 19 . it was nothing. And yet, it
was 20 .

1. 考查动词辨析。experience a different life意思是“体验一种不同的生活”。因为文章
没有说儿子即将开始的生 活有多么的好，所以不能用enjoy。句意：几个小时后，他将要飞往
法国，并在那个国度体验新的生 活。
2. 考查动词辨析。leave him some words意思是“给他留几句话”。 注意不要受母语的干扰
而误选give。句意为：我想送给他几句话，几句能让他受用终身的话。
3. 语境化选词。这里要表达的意思是：这已经不是我第一次让这样的时刻白白地过去了。
4. 考查名词辨析。由常识可知，上公共汽车要从车门口的台阶走上去，所以要用walk up。
句意为：说着，他伤了校车，消失在我的视野里。车开走了，我却什么也没说。
5. 考查名词辨析。这里指的是我送别儿子的情景，所以要用scene。sign“符号”，scenery
“风景”，sight“景色”。
6. 语境化选词。and表示并列，而这几个词中只有cou rage和confidence属于同一范畴。句
意为：我很想说一些鼓励的话语，在他的新生活伊始 给他勇气与信心。
7. 考查习惯用语。words failed me为固定用法，意思为“我说不出话来”。句意为：但是，
我再一次语塞。
8. 语境化选词。lost opportunities“失去的机会”。作者想起了自己在应该对儿子说些话的关键场合没有把握机会，而让机会白白地失去。句意为：此时此刻，站在丹尼尔面前，我
想起了那 些失去的机会。
9. 语境化选词。机会失去了，也就是说让哪些宝贵的时刻过去了。last持续 ；fly飞；
remain保留。句意为：究竟多少次，我让这些珍贵的时刻白白溜走？
10 .考查动词辨析。mean意味着。我找不到一个平静的时刻告诉他这些机会对于我来说意味着
什么，或 者是在今后的几年里他期待面对什么。
11.考查动词辨析。expect“期待”。
12 .语境化选词。很显然上下文之间是转折关系。所以要用But。句意为：即使意为父亲一辈
子都不曾亲 口告诉儿子自己对他的看法，那又如何？然而，当我面对丹尼尔的时候，我知道
这非常重要。
13.考查动词辨析。这里作者由自己和儿子想到了自己和父亲。句意为：我很遗憾从没有听到
父亲表达 出自己的感情。regret“遗憾”。
14.语境化选词。由语境可知，在这些特殊的场合，父亲想 表达出的是自己内心的感情：对孩
子的关爱。

15.语境化选词。作者很多次 想表达出自己的感情，但都没能做到，由此可以看出，要选择
hard，意为“困难的”。import ant重要的；essential必需的；complex复杂的。
16.语境化选词。由后面的“and there were just Daniel and m e”可知，作者感觉到整个世界
似乎都消失了。句意为：那一刻，世界消失了，只剩下我和丹尼尔。ch ange改变；progress进
步；advance使前进，提前。
17.语境化选词。be aware of意思是“察觉到，意识到，知道”。句意为：当他的脸想我 贴过
来时，我感觉到了他下巴上的胡子茬。sensitive敏感的；convinced信服的；t ired累的。
18.考查介词辨析。against“靠在……上”。注意这里不是把他的脸放在我 的脸上，所以不能
选on。
19.语境化选词。由前面的描述及下文的“It was no thing”可知“我”当时语无伦次，所以选
clumsy（笨拙的，不得体的）。gentle温和 的；absurd荒唐的；moving感人的。
20.语境化选词。和前面的nothing相对， 所以要选择everything。句意为：我对丹尼尔说的那
些话空洞无物。然而，它却道出了一切。

It was the graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first
graduation I attended as a young professor. On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into
the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the
saddest time of your life. At my inquiry, he answered, Because the students you have gotten to know have to
leave.

As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed. When I came across
naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher. It obviously isn't the money. Once a former
computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change. He was working at Nintendo
Corporation. His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a
decade. With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired. I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.

A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had
slipped in with her homework. She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class
—not about math, but about life—would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.
As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.

Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with
renewed dedication (奉献) and a deeper sense of satisfaction—I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.



1. Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author __________.

A. quite agreed with his colleague

B. thought it very funny

C. was very puzzled

D. was very sad

2. The computer science student called up the author because he __________.

A. wanted to inform the author of his present job

B. tried to persuade the author to work with him

C. wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction

D. thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher

3. The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to __________.

A. university colleagues

B. life memories

C. graduates' clothes

D. decorations in the hall

4. The author wrote this passage to __________.

A. express his devotion to being a teacher

B. compare two different graduation ceremonies

C. talk about the meaning of graduation

D. give advice on how to be a good teacher

5. The reason why he earns less than the computer science student is that __________.

A. he was only a young professor

B. he didn't do well in his work

C. he taught his students more about life than math

D. salaries for different careers are different



1. C

2. B

3. C

4. A

5. D



1. 推理判断题。根据第二段的首句可知本题选C。

2. 推理判断题。根据第二段的倒数第二句可知本题选B。

3. 词义猜测题。由本句中的graduation day可知本题选C。

4. 推理判断题。 根据最后一段大意可推断出本文作者的写作目的是说明自己作为一名教师为教育所作的贡献，
选A。
5. 推理判断题。根据常识可知不同的职业待遇不同，由此可知本题选D。

If you ask me for my biggest impression of what America's like over the last three years, I'd say it is
how rich and different the student life is. For example, at Princeton, we have more than 100 student organizations
planning all kinds of campus activities—from sports, band dancing to juggling and acting to translation, design,
publishing, volunteering and camping. You name it.

During my freshman (大一学生) year, I tried a lot of activities, from dancing to design to newspapers.
Then I found my passion (爱好) in the environment and volunteer ism. I joined Greening Princeton and Student
Volunteer Council. A year later, I'd become the publicity chair and project coordinator (协调员) of these two
clubs.

Student activities give us a chance to do things we care about and are good at. If we have a good idea, we
can put it forward at a meeting, find interested people to form a team, and then apply for funding from the school.
We have full control of the project and the ability to make our ideas happen. For example, I came up with the idea
of Daylight Dining and was supported by my club Greening Princeton. I wrote a proposal, presented it in front of
the college master, and communicated with the head of Dining Services. After a few follow-ups, this project was
carried out.

One other benefit of extracurricular (课外的) activities is the friendship that comes with them . Once
you become part of a group, it is much easier to adjust to college life. You realize you are not alone. This will
most likely increase your study efficiency and in turn help your academics. My headmaster once told me, Stand on
your tiptoes. In that way, we not only have a better view of life, but will also put out our comfort zone.
Getting involved in extracurricular activities has given me the opportunity to stand on my tiptoes.

Make yourself try new things and stick to the things that matter to you. This is one piece of advice I
have. Remember, college is a color palette (调色板). You are the artist who can add your own colors.



1. The author mentions one hundred student organizations to show __________.

A. students are free to learn their major.

B. student activities are colorful there

C. each organization belongs to a college

D. students have to join in one of them

2. What does the underlined word them refer to in Paragraph 4?

A. Students.

B. Colleges.

C. Organizations.

D. Activities.

3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Students can do what they care about and are good at in class.

B. Taking part in the activities after class has three advantages.

C. Students can balance their college life with these activities.

D. Each of the students has to take part in more than two items.

4. The purpose of the passage is to __________.

A. show off the author

B. advertise the school

C. say something interesting

D. introduce college life



1. B

2. D

3. C

4. D



1. 细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知作者提到100多个组织是为了说明“学生活动丰富多彩”。

2. 词义推测题。结合上下文可知them指代上文中的activities。

3. 正误判断题。A错误，不是in class；根据One other benefit of可知，短文只提到activities的两个好处；D
没有提到。根据Once you become part of a group, it is much easier to adjust to college life. 可知C正确。

4. 主旨判断题。通读全文可知本文主要介绍了美国丰富多彩的大学生活，所以D正确。



5、
One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap (包装).

On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him
in my lap, saying, I promised you a gift, and here it is. What an honor! I turned four a month earlier and none
of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it. I told it stories.
I told it over and over how much I loved it!

One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that
the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days, I heard Mum and Dad
whispering such words as hopeless, pitiful, and dying, which sounded ominous.

Christmas was coming. Don't expect any presents this year, Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the
living room. If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough. As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears.
I'd never seen him cry before.

The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him
say, What? He's all right? He hung up and shouted upstairs. The hospital said we can bring Richard home!

Thank God! I heard Mum cry.

From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I
was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung
there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

C. Sadness.

D. Disappointment.

1. 细 节理解题。第二段第一句话告诉我们就在这一天作者的弟弟理查德诞生，A选项与此意吻合，为正确答案。
弟弟确实是妈妈送给作者的礼物，但是并不是圣诞礼物，所以不能选择B项。

2. 词义猜 测题。第三段第四句提到妈妈哭着告诉作者可怜的理查德被送到了医院，本段第五句提到作者的父母
都在 小声说着“没有希望”“可怜”“要死了”等等这样的字眼，这让作者听起来应该感到很恐惧，fearful与
此意吻合，D项为正确答案。

3. 推理判断题。第四段最后提到爸爸在说到圣诞节 礼物的时候眼里含满了泪水，说明这时候作者的弟弟生死未
卜，所以爸爸非常悲伤，C选项的sadne ss与此意吻合，为正确答案。

4. 主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句话就提到了自己最棒的 礼物之一就是一份圣诞节礼物，而作者的弟弟的状况
贯穿全文，在父母几乎丧失信心的时候，也就是在圣 诞节前夕，弟弟安然返回，这让全家燃起了生活的希望。

Until quite recently, I knew only three things about my father: I know his name, David S. Johnson, Jr. I
knew he was an only child, and I'd been told he was killed on April 12, 1945, somewhere in Germany.

I used to come to visit my Granny. Daddy, David and his two friends were out in the fields, making sure the
way was safe for the others to follow, she told me. All of a sudden there was an explosion. All three of them
were killed. Granny was looking down, stroking one thin hand with the other. Then there were no words but silence.

I began my search and collection for information about my father as my 50th birthday and the 50th
anniversary of his death drew near. I was told that the explosion had blown him to bits and I had great difficulty
collecting anything I could find about him bit by bit. Bits of information about him began falling into my hands,
my mind and my heart. Longing to know my father kept me connected to him. It was time to transform my longing into
knowledge.

Once upon a time, he was alive, and my mother and father were in love. They were married, and they had a
child, my brother, David. Then my father left for the war.

I was born in January 1945. On February 15 my father wrote me a letter of welcome. The letter is kept in my
baby book, Dear Susan, you have a very good family. Your dad is sort of a less able person. Your mother is the
most wonderful person I've ever known. I've always amazed at my great good fortune to have loved her and been
loved by her. If you follow her words and examples, you may expect to meet life in the best possible way, and your
path will always be the right one. Your father, Dave.

Black on white paper, the words are from my father. From them I grow into a person of loyalty and love. How
I long for stories that will bring him to life!

2. 由第三段I was told that the explosion had blown him to bits and I had great difficulty collecting
anything...可知B项正确。

3. 由倒数第三段和倒数第二段可知作者从未见过自己的父亲。故D项符合题意。

On a hill 600 feet above the surrounding land, we watch the lines of rain move across the scene, the moon
rise over the hills, and the stars appear in the sky. The views invite a long look from a comfortable chair in
front of the wooden house.

Every window in our wooden house has a view, and the forest and lakes seldom look the same as the hour
before. Each look reminds us where we are. There is space for our three boys to play outside, to shoot arrows,
collect tree seeds, build earth houses and climb trees.

Our kids have learned the names of the trees, and with the names have come familiarity and appreciation.
As they tell all who show even a passing interest, maple (枫树) makes the best fighting sticks and white pines
are the best climbing trees.

The air is clean and fresh. The water from the well has a pleasant taste, and it is perhaps the healthiest
water our kids will ever drink. Though they have one glass a day of juice and the rest is water, they never say
anything against that.

The seasons change just outside the door. We watch the maples turn every shade of yellow and red in the
fall and note the poplars' (杨树) putting out the first green leaves of spring. The rainbow smelt fills the local

stream as the ice gradually disappears, and the wood frogs start to sing in pools after being frozen for the
winter. A family of birds rules our skies and flies over the lake.



1. What can be learned from Paragraph 2?

A. The scenes are colorful and changeable.

B. There are many windows in the wooden house.

C. The views remind us that we are in a wooden house.

D. The lakes outside the windows are quite different in color.

2. By mentioning the names of the trees, the author aims to show that __________.

A. the kids like playing in trees

B. the kids are very familiar with trees

C. the kids have learned much knowledge

D. the kids find trees useful learning tools

3. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A. The change of seasons is easily felt.

B. The seasons make the scenes change.

C. The weather often changes in the forest.

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don't know for sure, it's
very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or
computer screen; or maybe you're riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).

Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an
internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出)
of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

Time is something from which we can't escape. Even if we ignore it, it's still going by, ticking away,
second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, Who's in charge?
We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

By taking control of how you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful
student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more
time you will have to spend on your outside interests.

The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs
every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our
time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make
us better able to control time for our own purposes.



1. The underlined word ally in Para. 3 most likely means somebody or something that is __________.

A. your slave and serves you

B. your supporter and helps you

C. under your control and obeys you

D. under your influence and follows you

2. The author intends to tell us that time __________.

A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch

B. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies

C. should be well managed for our own interest

D. should be saved for outside interests

3. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you __________.

A. how to keep up with the times

B. how to make up for lost time

C. how to have a good time

D. how to make good use of time



1. B

2. C

3. D



1. 前一句说“我们 可以让时间流逝或让它成为我们的敌人”。后句用or表示相反的意思，即：我们可以控制
时间，让时间 成为我们的朋友，故选B。

2. 由全文得知，作者旨在告诉我们要充分安排好时间，做自己爱好的事情，而不是成为时间的奴隶。

3. 由文章最后一句...what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own
purposes.可以推断下一段作者将讨论人们如何充分利用时间。

Michael, a typical American, stays at home on workdays. He plugs into his personal
computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones,
watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days,
Michael doesn't talk to any other human beings, and he doesn't see any people except the ones
on television. Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible. The inventions of
modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say,
for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large
central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do
their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the
people they're dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers'
salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary.
No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks. Personal banking
will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their
accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was
once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social
gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along

the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music
around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now,
fewer people are going out to see a movie. More and more people are choosing to wait for a
film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of
laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.

1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Clerks will be able to work at home.
B. One can play baseball on the computer.
C. One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D. One can borrow books from libraries at home.
2. The sentence ichael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very __________.
A. Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B. Michael is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist
C. Michael has ambitions but he can't make his dreams come true
D. Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
3. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?
A. Games and sports.
B. Personal banking.
C. Music and films.
D. International business.
4. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B. Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C. We may no longer need to work in the office.
D. Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.

1. D
2. B
3. A
4. B

1. 细节理解题。短文中涉及了人们可以在家中工作，在电脑里“打”棒球，听音乐时不 必打
扰别人等，但是没有提到关于在家中从图书馆里借书的事。
2. 句意理解题。Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible.中but表示转折，
由此可以推断出imaginary的意思是“假想 的”。所以可推断出Michael不是一个真实的人，
但他的生活方式是存在的。
3. 推 理判断题。因为短文主要讲述了在家中工作、听音乐、看电影等活动，所以作者在最后
一段中不可能讨论 有关个人银行业务或国际业务。但音乐、电影在文中已提到，它与运动有
联系，所以接下来作者很可能会 讨论这方面的问题。
4. 主旨大意归纳题。作者在文章中讨论了由于科技的发展，人们可以在家中办 公、在家中看
电影、戴上耳机听音乐、在电脑里玩棒球等，这些都使人与人之间失去了联系。

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for
help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I
must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably
would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur
on the way to and from work.

One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into
something. I'm awfully sorry, I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third
time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly
happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop
unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.

Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at
the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I
usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.

But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided
not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up
stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour
without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.



1. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought __________.

A. she might be recognized

B. asking for help looked silly

C. she was normal and independent

D. being found blind was embarrassing

2. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she __________.

A. began to run

B. hit a person as usual

C. hit a lamppost by accident

D. was caught by something

3. At the request stop that evening, the girl __________.

A. stopped a big lorry

B. stopped the wrong bus

C. made no attempt to stop the bus

D. was not noticed by other people

4. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?

A. Other vehicles also stopped there.

B. It was unreliable for making judgments.

C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.

D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.

5. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping __________.
A. to find people there

B. to find more buses there

C. to find the bus by herself there

D. to find people more helpful there



1. D

2. C

3. C

4. B

5. A

1. 细节理解题。根据第一段前三句可知，作者怕别人知道自己是盲人，故选D项。

2. 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句可知作者撞上了路灯柱，故选C项。

3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段第三句可知，作者那天晚上没有试图去拦车，故选C项。

4. 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知，仅仅依靠过往的汽车发出的声音判断车辆是不可靠的，故选B项。

5. 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，在那个request stop没人，而且作者怕拦错车；而由第三段最后一句的ask
someone at the stop for help可知，在实在没办法的情况下，她决定找人求助, 而不是仅仅等待乐于助人的人，
故选A项。

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever
bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy
(girl) for a date?
Many people are afraid to assert themselves (insist upon their own rights). Dr. Robert
Alberti, author of
Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back,
thinks it's because their self-esteem
(自尊) is low. ur whole set-up makes people doubt themselves,ays Alberti. ere's
always a ‘superior’ around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who ‘knows better'
But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert
themselves. They offer tiveness trainingcourses (AT). In the AT courses people learn
that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so.
They learn to be aggressive (好斗的，有进取心的) without hurting other people.
In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will
help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to
share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT
says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

1. In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that ________.
A. some people are too easy-going
B. some people are too timid
C. there are too many superiors around us
D. some people dare not stick up for their own rights
2. The effect of our set-up on people is often to __________.
A. make them distrust their own judgment
B. make things more favorable for them
C. keep them from speaking out as much as their superiors do
D. help them to learn to speak up for their rights
3. One thing AT doesn't do is to __________.
A. use the need of people to share
B. show people they have the right to be themselves
C. help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others suffer
D. help people overcome fear

1. D
2. A
3. C

1. 自卑的人不敢说“不”，也 不敢当众发表自己的意见，那当然是不敢坚持自己的权利，由
第二段首句括号中内容“insist upon their own rights”可知答案。
2. 由第二段第三句话ur whole set-up makes people doubt themselves. 可知答案为A。
3. 由第三段最后一句话 learn to be aggressive without hurting other people. 可以做出
正确判断。

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it the look on the
recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?

This Christmas was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never
wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas
shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My
eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone
dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I
was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my
father.

I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the
cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem
came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that
out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and
after searching I found the prefer picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting
together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white
paper coloring with words that shaded my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that shaped my childhood; I felt
that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.

Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black
letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

The following passage is a healthy prescription（处方）of how we can approach life. It is not about being
famous or being wealthy or about our good looks. Truly, it is all about love. There are times when we feel as if
we are separated from the rest. This feeling creates a mental prison. Therefore, we should try to work hard to
internally（内在地）liberate ourselves by widening our circle of pity to accept all living things.

Open your heart to others and try to under-stand. When someone reaches for you, hold out to them your hand.
Follow your heart, no matter what other people say. Do things that make you able to smile throughout your day.
Treat other people the way you would like them to treat you. Do what you know is right and to your heart and self
stay true. Remember what life is all about; it is how you make people feel, what you do, where you go, and
making dreams become real. Helping people through, in hard times of pain and strife. What you do for others, is
what is important in this life. Look deeper and don't judge people by what is on the outside. It is what is
inside that counts and what people often hide. Care, help, love, be honest, and be kind. With purity and goodness
within yourself, it is happiness you will find. Do all you can in the time you have, you won't always be
around. Recapture the joy of little things that once were easily found. And if you can do all this and live a life
of love, you will be helped through life, by all those up above.

I will leave you with the inspiring words of our late genius, Albert Einstein:

There are two ways to live life. One is as though nothing is a miracle （奇迹）. The other is as though
everything is a miracle.



1. The passage is mainly about __________.

A. living a life of love

B. helping those in need

C. taking back the joy of life

D. separating ourselves from others

2. According to the passage, which statement is true?

A. Treating others the way others treat you is right for your life.

B. Making your dream become real is selfish in your life.

C. Judging people by what is inside counts.

D. Doing what you can makes yourself happy.

3. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means __________.

A. different ways of life lead to completely different results

B. life is not always full of miracles

My husband, of course! George Clooney wouldn't think I'm as pretty as my
husband does!”

My partner should be there to listen t
me complain about the fact that we are
left alone on an island-probably due to
C. there are two kinds of miracles in life

D. looking for miracles in life helps people find happiness

What Would You Want Most on a Desert Island?

This month's survey shows people worldwide have a natural understanding of what they would need most if left
alone on a desert island: Another person. And one they know well. Respondents （调查象）in all 16 countries
surveyed said their spouse（配偶）or partner would be their first choice to have with them. Perhaps this makes
sense: An MP3 player can't help you find drinking water, your dog can't help you start a fire and who knows if
George Clooney or Penelope Cruz has taken courses in wilderness survival training? Let's just hope the SOS sign
you two build gets spotted sooner rather than later!

For those who are tired of doing the laundry, Samsung has found an answer: a washing machine that can tell you
when your laundry is done via a smartphone app （application）.

Strange though it may seem-my wife already does that was a common response among attendees viewing the
device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show （CES） this week-Samsung is just one of many
appliance makers racing to install （安装）a large number of Internet-connected features in machines in an
effort to make them smart.

Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it's Wi-Fi-enabled laundry machines and fridges that can
tell you when your groceries are going bad.

The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, connect to any smartphone through a down-loadable
application. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the machines can be turned on and off while their
owner is at work or on the bus.

Samsung says it's not just something new-the app connection actually has some practical uses.

If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to take them out, you can go to your phone and
restart your dryer for the time when you come home, so your clothes are refreshed and ready to go, said
spokesperson Amy Schmidt.

The company also says that with electricity rates（电价）varying depending on the time of day, more control
over when the machines are used can help save money.

Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do-enable laziness.
Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones
while watching TV.

Have a nice day! may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says Have a
nice day with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and se-cure since
another person cares about me and wishes me well.

Have a nice day. Next! This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is
rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone （腔调）with a fixed procedure.
They are spoken at me ，not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's
attempt to increase business.

The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates
the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us
when we don't know what to say. Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.

The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says Have a nice day to you, you may find it heart-warming
because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.

Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong
with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the
countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable
way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pre-tend they care when they really don't care all that much. While
the expression may not often be sincere, it is al-ways spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when
they like.



1. How does the author understand Maxie's word?

A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.

B. Maxie really wished the author a good day.

C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

D. Maxie really worries about the author's security.

2. What does the underlined sentence in Para-graph 2 mean?

A. The salesgirl is rude.

B. The salesgirl is bored.

C. The salesgirl cares about me.

D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.

3. By saying Have a nice day，a stranger may __________.

A. try to be polite to you

B. express respect to you

C. give his blessing to you

D. share his pleasure with you

4. According to the last paragraph, people say Have a nice day________.

A. sincerely

B. as thanks

D. encouragingly

5. What is the best title of the passage?

At the time friends visit us in the evening, they often tell us they are in a hurry and
look at their watches. It isn't that our friends are all very busy; it is just that we
haven't got a television. People think that we are very strange.“But what do you do in the
evening?”，they are always asking. The answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have
hobbies. We certainly don't spend our evenings looking at the walls. My wife enjoys cooking
and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages. This is quite useful as
we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I'm always busy with my collection.
Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
Sometimes there are power（电源） cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This
does not worry us and we just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our
friends, however, are lost——no television! So they don't know what to do. On such evenings
our house is very full for they all come to us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting
in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and plays games.
