Passage 1 CCBCD

After practising as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons (美国外科医生学会), a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.

As part of the application procedure (手续), Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best techniques in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have… Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.

Passage 2 ADBDD

After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles(肌肉) relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.

Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep tell us that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This period of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you can?t fall asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!

Passage 3 CACBC

Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time.

In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.

The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.

Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.

In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the overcrowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.

3. What does the writer say about Japanese trains?

A. There are not enough trains.

B. They are very nice and comfortable.

Passage 4 DCCCB

Every ten years there is a national census(人口普查) to count the number of people. The Census Office asks every household to answer questions on a census form. The census counts people by the kind of housing they live in, the country in which they were born, and the kind of job they do and how they travel to work. Census results are used by a great many people and are

available to everyone in many ways.

For example, in order to work out present and future needs we must know how people are housed now, and the sizes and ages of their families. For hospitals, schools and other local services, the size of annual grants(拨款) made by the Government to these services depends largely on the numbers and needs of people in the area.

Many of the figures come from the census. In order to work out future spending for pensions (养老金), we need to know people's ages, how many are men and how many are women, whether they are single or married, and the size of the family. The census shows how many people have moved from one area to another and how the local workforce is changing. This information is used when factories, offices, shops, public transport and places for leisure are being planned. The census is taken in order to provide figures about the nation as a whole. It does not give information about any named person, family or household. Names and addresses are needed to take the census accurately, but they are not fed into the computer. After the census, the forms are locked away and will not be released to anyone outside the Census Office for 100 years. The answers you give on your census form will be treated secretly. No one outside the Census Office will see your completed form - but if you refuse to complete your form properly, you may be taken to court and the form could be produced as evidence. Everyone working on the census is required to keep it secret and can be accused if he or she improperly reveals information.

1. It is necessary to know what sort of housing conditions people have in order to plan ________.

A) the sizes and ages of families

B) the sizes and ages of houses

C) how many presents will be needed

Passage 5 CBCAA

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year.

A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington(1876-1974), concluded, from his work among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in spring man?s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about rapid growth of everything in nature.

Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be good time to take a long vacation from thinking.

1. According to this passage, your intelligence probably________.

A. stays the same throughout the year

B. varies from day to day

C. changes with the seasons

D. changes from year to year

2. Huntington based his conclusions on __________.

A. records of changes in his own intelligence

B. his work among peoples in different climates

C. records of temperature changes

D. all of the above

3. It seems that the cold of winter _________.

A. increases the ability to think

B. is the best time for thinking

C. is better for thinking than the heat of summer

D. decreases the ability to think

4. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that______.

A. everything in nature, including man, is growing then.

B. it lasts longer than the other seasons.

C. it is not too warm and not too cold

D. both B and C

5. The two best seasons for thinking seem to be _________.

A. spring and fall

B. winter and summer

C. summer and spring

D. fall and winter

Passage 6 ABCAD

Surprise! You?re in college! “I never knew living with a roommate was so hard.” “I can?t believe the amount of reading required for just one class.” “I didn?t know what the Freshman 20

was until I gained 20 pounds.” No matter how hard or how long you plan for college, it?s f illed with surprises, from dorm conflicts and academic rigors(严酷;艰苦)to the relationship maze and campus logistics(后勤). Students at Northwestern College in Saint Paul, Minn., share surprises they encountered to give freshmen a “heads up” on what to expect when entering the ivy-covered walls this fall.

Dorm Life

Adjusting to a roommate?s music preferences, sleeping times and tastes in dorm was a surprise to Emily Carlson,a communication major. “I was an only child used to my own room, so it was a chall enge adjusting to roommates.” “At first it felt like being at summer camp,” recalls Kristy Lindquist, a cross-cultural ministry major. “Eventually one becomes accustomed to it, after growing from both good and bad experiences.” At the beginning of her fres hman year, Amber White, a music major, thought she?d get close to one roommate in particular, but it wasn?t the case. “I thought I?d get along better with my roommates, but overall the friends I made in the first weeks were not the friends I actually kept.” The housekeeping aspects of the sexes surprised senior Ben Hemmila, president of the Northwestern Student Association. “Guys? dorms smell bad no matter what happens! Girls? dorms are generally messier than guys?, but smell better.”

Academics

Need to study for a mid-term exam or finish a term paper? Get ready to burn the midnight oil ― and the early-morning oil! “Late in college means 3-4 a.m. not 10-11 p.m.” says Hemmila. Carlson agrees. “With other obligations, like work and social things, studying until 3 a.m. is not unusual.” Yet she was surprised at her stamina(体力;精力;活力). “I?ve stayed up 48, even 72 hours studying ― thanks to coffee and willpower. Staying up isn?t that hard. The difficult part is keeping everything in your brain.” Another common s urprise is the vast amount of reading college requires: 50-60 pages a night ― per class! Hemmila was surprised he didn?t get a detention(延迟;留置;拘留)when he skipped a class. But he still paid the tuition for that skipped class. S tudents are surprised to realize their education needs to include personal discipline and time management. “There is never enough time,” realizes Katie Dean, a business major. “I can?t be involved in everything like in high school, and even a part-time job is hard with a full load.” P aul Bradley, dean of residence life at Northwestern College, says freshmen usually find they have more homework than expected and finals are more difficult. “They?re surprised because they get fewer directives from professors on how to study and what to st udy.”

As for that Freshman 20, Murphy hears from many students who were amazed how quickly they gained weight. “It?s the reality of inactivity ― sitting in class, studying, then eating pizza.”

1. According to the passage above, the Freshman 20 is _____.

A.a new student who is almost 20

B.a freshman who gains 20 pounds quickly

C.a new students who is 20 pounds

D.a freshman who always gains weight 20 pounds a year

Passage7 DCBAB

What can you do when you find yourself in school without enough friends? Making friends on campus is not the easiest thing to do especially when you are new on campus or you go to an urban commuter campus. Meeting people at school need s not be a daunting task. There are several methods that are not difficult to master and you may find easy when you try them out.

Start by looking around at people you tend to see frequently, such as, people who you see in your classes, dorms and dining areas. Often an easy way to start a conversation is to focus on an area of obvious common interest. For example, before or after classes, ask, “did you get the assignment for next week”, or “ what did you think of the professor?s theory of...”This gets you pas s the most difficult part, which is starting the first conversation. Be sure to introduce yourself before the end of the conversation.

If your campus has a dining facility, cafe or coffee cart, then there will be more opportunities for meeting people. After you?ve introduced yourself and talked about class, it?s the perfect time to ask the other person to join you for a cup of coffee. Once you are at the table it should be easier to talk about where you?re from, what is your major, what you think of the class, whether it is easy or hard. Once you start a conver sation, you?ve gotten past the most difficult part. It will be much easier to suggest meeting again for coffee, or to meet socially off campus.

Put yourself where there are other people that you will see over and over. Join a club, interest group or sports team. Obviously if you live in a dormitory you will have chances to interact with people in your dorm floor as well as the dorm cafeteria. Make it a point of inviting people to meet you for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Don?t be a cockroach —someone who hangs out in a dark room and scurries(急转,疾行) when the lights are turned on.Working on Campus is also a good way to meet people, as well as put some money in your pocket, while solving two problems at once. Social events can be good ways to meet people. School dances, campus mixers and happy hours may seem to make you have something in common to talk about.

A. making friends is a hard thing on campus

3. The methods of making friends include the following statements EXCEPT _____.

A. joining in a sports team

B. taking up a part-time job

C. studying in a place frequently

Passage 8 DCBBA

One cold morning in winter, when I was a little boy, a smiling man with an ax on his shoulder sto pped me, saying, “My pretty boy, has your father a grindstone ( 磨刀石)?”

“Yes, sir,” said I.

“You are a fine little fellow!” said the man. “Will you let me grind my ax?”

Pleased with the flattery, I answered, “Oh, yes, sir. The grindstone is down in the shop.”

Patting me on my head, he said, “Will you get me some hot water?” I ran and brought the hot water.

“How old are you, and what is you name?” he asked, without waiting for a reply, “I?m sure you are one of the finest boys I have ever seen. Will you turn the grindstone a few minutes for me?”

Hearing the flattery again, I went to work with a will. It was a new ax, and I worked hard until I was almost tired to death. The school bell rang, but I could not get away, because the ax was not half ground.

At last, however, it was sharpened. Then the man turned to me and said, “Now, you little rascal (小坏蛋), you have played truant ( 旷课)! Run to school, or you?ll be sorry!”

“Alas!” thought I. “It was hard enough to turn a grindstone this cold day, b ut now to be called a rascal is too much.”

Passage 9 DCACD

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It?s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren?t difficult to set and they aren?t difficult

to reach. It?s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate your subconscious to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goal.

1) The example of two drivers in the second paragraph is cited to show __________.

A. the difficulty of driving without a map

B. the foolishness of the second driver

C. the importance of avoiding wrong turns

D. the significance of setting goals

2) Successful people differ from unsuccessful ones in that __________.

A. the former set goals which are difficult to achieve

B.the latter make unreasonable demands of themselves

C.the former have goals in life and make plans to carry them out

D. the latter set goals and try to get other people to help them

3) According to the writer, what is the most important in the whole process of realizing one?s goal?

A.Trying to be realistic about one?s capabilities.

B. Analyzing problems that may be involved.

C. Having a clear understanding of what one wants in life.

D. Dreaming of a very beautiful future.

4) What is suggested if people want to realize their goals without fail?

A. They should write down their goals.

B. They should sign a contract with other people involved.

C. They should be aware of the difficulties they are faced with.

D. They should discuss with other people about their goals.

5) Which of the following statements is closest to the main idea of the passage?

A. Success is possible only when a person has set his or her goal clearly.

B. Goals enable people to achieve everything they desire in life.

C. Winners of any competition should never be satisfied with themselves.

D. Goals must be realistic and within the realm of possibility.

Passage 10 BCDCC

It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “King Enterprises,” she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices,

so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day?s work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived.

Passage 11 BCDBB

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there, though like most children of my age, I was used to seeing bombed houses in the streets and the enormous army lorries (卡车)passing through. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases “before the war ” and “when the war?s over”. “Before the war”, apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice

cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very little to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now about VE Day (胜利日) was the afternoon and the evening. I remember coming home about five o?clock with a little girl of my age who lived in the house opposite. Some boys and girls on a bomb-site(被炸后的废墟) at the end of the street were collecting wood and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and let myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work.

It was May and still broad day light when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache(小胡子)they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon engulfed (吞噬) the “guy”. Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep the fire burning.

I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said, “Well, that?s it, son. Let?s hope that this time it really will be the last one.”

1) Where did the author live before the Second World War?

A. In a small town.

B. In London.

C.In Europe. D. In the countryside.

2) What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war?

A. Bread.

B. Butter.

B. The author?s father had fought in the First World War.

C. The author?s father built a bonfire on VE Day.

C. he hoped people would not build any more bonfire

D. he wished people had not built the bonfire

Passage 12 AADBC

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an ear ly age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did, to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.

Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

A. the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people

Passage 13 BADBA

No one can tell you how to adjust to life in the United States. You must make the adjustment through experience, and sometimes, emotional distress. This is the way it usually happens.

First, of course, you experience a period of excitement. You have a sense of freedom—you feel liberated from the rules and customs of your own culture, and immensely interested in those of American culture. This period is sometimes call ed the “the honeymoon” stage.

Then certain customs in the United States began to irritate you.For example, we shall consider punctuality—the need to be “on time”. Americans look at their watches frequently. They try to be on time for work, for class, for meetings, for games, for religious services, and even for certain events. If you arrange to meet Americans for lunch at 12 but to be there at 12:30, you will probably find that they have either (a) left (b) eaten without you, or (c) become very annoyed (even if they are not hungry).

Perhaps you are annoyed that American friendliness seems superficial;or that Americans always act as though they are in a hurry; or that the food never seems to be prepared in the right way. Perhaps you do not even feel annoyed, just homesick. The reaction can set in within two weeks of your arrival, or six months later, and its symptoms vary greatly. You might have trouble sleeping; you might on the other hand sleep too much. You might find yourself angry at the time, or depressed, or suffering from a vague physical illness. You may begin to dislike the United States and its people.

Nothing is really wrong with you.Y ou are simply suffering cultural shock. You have a lot of familiar signs and signals, you have discovered that some of your assumptions about human beings are incorrect, and you wish you could make sense of the United States. Then another change comes over you. Sooner or later you begin to laugh at yourself or at the strange things you see in American life, and at that point you begin to recover. Soon, you find yourself living, peacefully, with the same American customs that used to upset you. You have become bicultural.

1) One might feel _____ when he first arrives in the United States.

A. homesick

B. excited

C. annoyed

D. laughable

2) Which of the following makes newcomers in the United States very angry?

A. Americans? punctuality and superficial friendliness.

B. Americans? complaint.

C. Americans? education.

D. Americans? i mpatience.

3) The following are the possible symptoms of cultural shock EXCEPT _____.

A. sleeping difficulty

B. sleeping too much

C. a vague physical illness

D. a dislike for one?s own culture

4) According to the passage, which of the following is the best way of surviving in the United States?

A. By ignoring the differences.

B. By becoming bicultural.

C. By becoming an American.

D. By forgetting one?s own culture.

5) Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

A. Life in the United States.

B. Customs in the United States.

C. Causes and symptoms of cultural shock.

D. Traveling in the United States.

Passage 14 ACCBA

When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood—all of them too young to walk—and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupation.

My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lessons did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes I asked him why, and when he replied …Because it is beautiful,? I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.

My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believe that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original. 1.When her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story_____.

A. was teaching half a dozen babies to dance

B. was teaching half a dozen babies to walk

C. was collecti ng babies of the neighborhood

D. was making babies of the neighborhood sit before her on the floor

2. The attitude of the narrator?s mother toward her school of dance was one of _______.

A. despise

B. contempt

C.support

D. indifference

3. The narrator thought that ballet was _______.

A. the most graceful dance

B. stiff, ugly and unnatural

C. a dance that disturbed her dream

D. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter

4. According to the narrator, she owed her success in art to _____.

A. the good education her parents gave her

B. the support of her understanding and adventurous mother

C. her inborn talent

D. her ballet teacher

5. The central idea of the passage is that ______.

A. parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it while

they are young

B. the so-called good education parents give their children only drives them into the

commonplace and deprives them of any chance of doing anything original

C. mothers should be heroic and adventurous

D. ballet is no good as a form of dance

Passage 15 ABDAC

Looking through my high-school yearbook, I was amazed by how similar everyone looked. People who stood out were few and far between. Thinking about it now, I realize that individuality is endangered. Everyone wants to look, act and sound like everyone else. This makes no sense, considering we are told from an early age to “be yourself.”I f we are told to be individuals, why is fitting in such an issue?

The media has a huge influence on youth. I f you turn on MTV, you?ll see the model of what is considered “cool”. What surprises me is that people feel they need to look and dress a certain way to be cool. Those who don?t fit this mold are considered nerds (讨厌的人).

Television figures and celebrities are major role models; teens and preteens alike strive to match their favorite celebrity?s look, but if people need to look like others to find a sense of self-worth, then the problem is beyond individuality. The problem becomes teens?lack of self-esteem, contributing to their need to conform. People conform to blend in and go unnoticed.

If society could implement programs to teach kids self-esteem, then lack of individuality would no longer be an issue. Teen suicide rates would probably decrease, too. I f teenagers are comfortable with who they are, then suicide would not be such an oft-chosen option. Teaching individuality would lessen the pressure on teens to fit in, and would create a healthier society.

Lack of individuality plagues society as a whole. Those who have the courage and confidence to express themselves are the “coolest”people. In a world of conformity made up of black and white, it is good to throw a hint of the rainbow in every once in a while just for kicks and self-esteem.

1. The underlined phrase “stood out” refers to _______.

A. be unique in character

B. endure hardships

C. be noticeable by queer looks

D. get up from some places

2. Teens want to be considered “cool” because _______.

A. they believe media would teach them how to be oneself

B. they tend to imitate their idols of television celebrities who usually represent social fashion

C. they want to be different from the others

D. they want to step into a healthier society.

3. Teaching individuality would _______.

A. let them pay more attention to health

B. stop teen s? dream of being cool

C. increase the peer pressure

D. help teens to express themselves and build up a sense of self-worth

4. I t is implied in the passage that _______.

A. peer pressure for being cool indirectly leads to teens? suicide

B. teens tend to choose suicide because they can?t find self-value

C. teens tend to look alike in appearance

D. teens are confident to express themselves

5.This passage can be titled as _______.

A. Harms of I ndividuality

B. I ndividuality and Suicide

C. Being Cool Endangers Individuality

D. How to Build up Self-esteem

阅读理解训练题

阅读理解训练题(十四) A Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways. My ideal(理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below-he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With his help I am free from all difficulties, Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word "failure". 56. This passage tells us __ A. how to make friends with others B. how the writer' s friend helps him C. what kind of person the writer's friend is D what kind of person we should make friends with 57. An ideal friend means A. a true friend B. a false friend C. an imaginary friend D. an excellent friend 58. From the passage we can learn that A. the writer and his ideal friend have a lot to learn from each other B. the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friend C. the writer's ideal friend has a lot to learn from him D. the writer has only a little to learn from his ideal friend 59. From the second paragraph, we can infer the writer is sure that A. nothing cannot be done with friend B. only the first sentence is reasonable C. he who does not smoke or drink must be a good friend D. good friends should always help each other B Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working. Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate. 60. According to this passage, the noise pollution __ A. has become the worst in the countryside B. has become better in big cities

A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels. If a comet isn’t a sta r, what is it then? Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail. Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see. An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because

阅读理解与语言行为

阅读理解与语言行为 语言是人类社会最主要的符号系统,它是思维的外壳、文化的载体、交际的工具,是人类赖以缔造世界的主要手段。语言存在与具体的、个别的言语活动和言语作品中。口头语言交际就是言语活动,书面语言交际生成言语作品,言语活动和言语作品中的言语是有意义的。了解和传达意义是交际的目的。但言语不仅表达意义而且本身往往是一种行为。 (1)“今天是星期日” 是一句最简单、最平常的话,它的意义是:说话人说话的当天是星期日,这句话是有真假的,不是真,就是假的。如果有人问:“今天星期几?”这句话就是对这个问题的回答。 但是,对于这句话,我们还可以做进一步研究。因为不同的人,在不同的环境中,向不同的对象都可以说这句话,如果是两夫妻,丈夫潜心工作,到了星期天,妻子对他说:“今天是星期天。”她不是对“今天”是一个星期七天中的哪一天做说明,而是希望丈夫在六天工作后休息一下。相反,如果丈夫是一个懒汉,妻子的意思就是要他干家务活,平常不干,星期天也不干吗?再者,如果是一个孩子对父母讲这句话,他也许是要求父母带他上公园或游乐场,不管属于哪种情况,“今天星期天”都是说话人在向听话人发出的一种请求。 1955年,英国哲学家奥斯丁在美国哈佛大学做了一系列讲座,题为《论言有所为》,他把有真假值的语句,称为“言有所述”。把上述表示请求的语句,称为“言有所为”。他的理论,称为言语行为理论,是语言学的重要组成部分。 同一语句,可以表达不同的言语行为。还是例(1),如果两夫妻每个星期天都带孩子上公园,而今天尚未行动,孩子说这句话,表示提醒;如果父母曾经允诺,星期天带他上公园,孩子说这句话,表示请求;如果父母要孩子复习功课,孩子说这句话,表示不满;如果孩子在外边玩,父母叫他回家,孩子说这句话,表示拒绝。 同一种言语行为,可以用不同语句表达。例如:把门关上! (2)请把门关上,好吗? 你愿意把门帮忙关上吗? 是谁忘了关门? 刚才谁进来了? 没看见门上的字吗?老兄? (门上:“随手关门”) 嘻,什么时候长尾巴了? (关门夹住尾巴)

GMAT阅读理解练习题一篇(附答案)

GMAT阅读理解练习题一篇(附答案) 大家在备考gmat阅读考试的时候,需要准备的复习材料很多,对于计划参加gmat 考试的人来说,要想在gmat阅读考试中获取好的成绩,做适量的练习是必须的,下面就通过解答下面的gmat阅读练习材料来总结一些解题方法吧。 Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedented opportunities—as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $500,000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, some federal and local agencies have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning parts of public works contracts to minority enterprises. Corporate response appears to have been substantial. According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in 1977. The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980’s is estimated to be over 53 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade. Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company’s efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer. A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up (team up: v.(使)结成一队, 合作, 协作) to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities

部编语文小升初【阅读理解】训练、理解重点词语的意思+20篇阅读理解题和答案1

部编语文小升初【阅读理解】训练、理解重点词语的意思+20篇阅读理解题和答案 第一讲、理解重点词语的意思 【技法指导】 要理解句子或文章的意思,我们往往需要借助一些重点词语来体会。那我如何理解重点词语的意思呢? 1.联系上下文词句的字面义来理解词语意思。有的词语,前面或后面的句子已经充分地表达了它的意思,我们只要从这个词语的上下文中找到相关的句子去理解提炼就可以。如《草原》一课中的“洒脱”一词。它出现在句子“草原上行车十分洒脱,只要方向不错,怎么走都可以”中,我们联系下文只要方向不错,怎么走都可以”就能理解“洒脱”的意思是“不拘束”。 2.联系语境,结合词语的感情色彩来理解词语意思。如《窃读记》中的贪婪”一词。这个词语一般情况下是贬义词,形容非常贪心,但在本文中我们就要结合具体的语境来理解。¨贪婪”岀现在“我像一匹饿狼,贪婪地读着”这个句子中,通过本段的阅读我们知道这是形容作者非常急切地读书,从而表现了她非常喜欢看书。 3.近义词替代理解词语的意思。有些词语的意思我们可以直接用近义词来解释,也就是把它的一个近义词放进文句中,看看有没有改变原句的意思如《“精彩极了”和“糟糕透了”》中“我既腼腆又得意扬扬”一句中的“腼腆”一词,我们就可以直接用它的近义词“害羞”来解释。 4.组词理解词语的含义。有的词语,我们可以直接用这个词语中的每个字去组词,然后通过所组的词语去理解它的含义。如《“精彩极了”和“糟糕透了”》中“我敬仰我的父亲”一句中的“敬仰”一词,就可以分别用“敬”和“仰”去组成“尊敬”“仰慕”这两个词语,这两个词语就可以解释“敬仰”的意思。 【典例分析】 童年趣事 每个人都有童年,而童年趣事就像海边那各色各样的贝壳,在海水的陪伴下闪闪发光,散发着五颜六色的光彩,数都数不完。而至今,我的手上还握着那一枚最闪亮的贝壳,那也正是我最难忘的一件童年趣事。 记得小时候,我家院子里有一棵在我出生时种的橘树。我经常拿小刀在树千上刻个记号,天天去测量自己是否长高。看着一条条横线,我真盼望快快长高。有一天,我忽然发现自已比那记号矮了。天啊难道我倒着长了?我心里害怕极了,连忙跑去问妈妈:“妈妈,为什么别的小伙伴都长高了,我却变矮了?”妈妈忙放下身边的活,把我抱到椅子上问:“为什么这么说呢?”我忙跳下椅子,拉住妈妈的手,把她拉到院子里,指着橘树说:“我天天用小刀在树上刻下我的身高,可是我今天来刻却发现自己的头顶在以前刻的橫线下面了我边说边在树上指岀那两条横线。妈妈听了我的话,又看了看树,沉默了大约半分钟后就莫名其妙地大笑起来,笑得前仰后合,眼泪都出来了。过了许久妈妈才拍了拍我的头说:“傻瓜,不是你变矮了,是树长高了,以后可别做这种傻事了”我恍然大悟,原来
