Ⅱ.阅读理解
Dale
Carnegie was an American writer and lecturer, and
the developer of famous
courses in
selfimprovement, salesmanship, corporate
training, public speaking, and
interpersonal
skills.
Born in 1888 in Maryville, Missouri,
Carnegie was a poor farmer's boy. His family
moved to Belton, Missouri when he was a small
child. In his teens, though still having
to
get up at 4:00 am every day to milk his parents'
cows, he managed to obtain an
education at the
State Teacher's College in Warrensburg. His first
job after college
was selling correspondence
courses (涵授课程). He moved on to selling bacon,
soap,
and lard for Armour & Company.
After
saving $$500, Dale Carnegie quit sales in 1911 in
order to pursue a lifelong
dream of becoming a
lecturer. He ended up instead attending the
American Academy
of Dramatic Arts in New York,
but found little success as an actor. Later he got
the idea to teach public speaking. In his
first session, he suggested that students
speak about “something that made them angry”,
and discovered that the technique
made
speakers unafraid to address a public audience.
From its beginning, the Dale
Carnegie Course
developed. Carnegie had made use of the average
American's desire
to have more
selfconfidence.
Perhaps one of Carnegie's
most successful marketing moves was to change the
spelling of his last name from “Carnagey” to
Carnegie, at a time when Andrew
Carnegie was a
widely recognized name.
Carnegie's works
include
Lincoln
the
Unknown
(1932),
Public
Speaking
and
Influencing
Men
in
Business
(1932),
and
How
to
Stop
Worrying
and
Start
Living
(1948).
His greatest
achievement, however, was when Simon & Schuster
published
How
to
Win
Friends
and
Influence
People
. The book was a bestseller from
1936. By the time of
Carnegie's death, the
book had sold five million copies in 31 languages,
and there
had been 450,000 graduates of his
Dale Carnegie Institute.
Carnegie died at his
home in New York in 1955.
语篇解读:Dale
Carnegie是20世纪世界上最伟大的成功学大师,本文对其作了简要
4
介绍。
1.Dale Carnegie's childhood can
be described as ________.
A.hard
C.lonely
B.happy
D.boring
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句和
第三句可知,Carnegie出生在一个贫穷
的农民家庭,十几岁时每天早上四点起床挤牛奶,由此可
知他的童年是很艰辛的。
2.Which of the following shows the
correct order of the events?
a.becoming an
actor
b.receiving a college education
c.teaching public speaking
d.selling
correspondence courses
A.a,c,b,d
C.d,b,c,a
B.b,a,c,d
D.b,d,a,c
解析:选D 事件排序题。根据第二段倒数第二句可知,Carnegie上完大学后的第一份
工作是推销函授课程;根据第三段第二、三句可知,他当演员不成功,然后开始教授演讲。
因此,D项正
确。
3.The Dale Carnegie Course laid emphasis on
________.
A.giving people selfconfidence
B.helping people to get wealth
C.teaching
people speaking skills
D.advising people to
live happily
解析:选A 推理判断题。由第三段最后两句可知,Dale
Carnegie课程诞生后,他利
用了美国人想要更多的自信心这一心理。由此可推知,Dale
Carnegie课程注重塑造人们的
自信心。
4.Dale Carnegie
changed his last name ________.
A.to get more
help
B.to win more support
C.to become
more famous
D.to avoid unnecessary confusion
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段可知,Dale
Carnegie改名的原因是当时
Andrew Carnegie非常有名,由此可推知Dale
Carnegie改名是为了进一步提高个人的知名
度。

Ⅰ.语法填空
We
often hear people complain: Why is my face so
ugly? Why was I born in such
a poor family?
Why am I so __1__ (luck)? Why does God treat me so
unfairly? Why should
we complain about this
and that? Life is not all the best, life is not
perfect. __2__
the contrary, the ups and downs
in life is the routine.
As the __3__ (say)
goes, “Worries make a white head; laugh makes
people __4__
(look) young.” Do not complain.
Everyone's life will not be easy. You are not the
only unlucky one in this world. It is simply
because you are not aware of this __5__
you
often complain.
If we can often look at __6__
issue from another angle, you might __7__ (easy)
find it very exciting. You can not change the
face, you can not change the weather,
__8__
you can change your mood! Why not __9__ (do) that?
Someone said, “After the
storm is a rainbow.”
So it is __10__ life. Only after you go through
twists and
turns can you make a wonderful
life!
语篇解读:本文是议论文。告诫经常抱怨自己的命运的人,改变心情,才会创造丰富多彩的生活。
1.unlucky 根据句意及上下文可知,用lucky的反义词。
2.On 固定结构on the contrary “相反”。
3.saying as
the saying goes“正如谚语所说”。
4.look make sb.
do为make的复合结构,此处不定式作补语,注意不带to。

注意强调句型的构成“It is+强调的部分+thatwho”。
6.the
特指“人们经常抱怨”的这个问题。
7.easily 副词作状语修饰动词find。
8.but 前后为转折关系,故填but。
9.do why not do
sth.?“为什么不做某事呢?”
10.with so it is with
...“……也一样”。

Dear Mom,
Mother's
Day is coming. I'm sorry that I am abroad and
