【題目】Facing the Enemies Within

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally ruin our ambitions (雄心壯志). Fear can ruin fortunes. Fear can ruin relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can ruin our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies living inside us.

【1】.

The first enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity,【2】. Take a sword to this enemy.

The second enemy inside is doubt.【3】, But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worse of all, they doubt themselves. I’m telling you, doubt will ruin your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart.【4】

Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears.【5】. Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.

A. Sure, there’s room for healthy doubt. You can’t believe everything.

B. Build your courage to fight what’s holding you back, what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams.

C. Let me tell you about two of the other enemies we face from within.

D. Below are the ways which might be useful for us to overcome our fears.

E. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.

F. It will steal your chances for a better future.

G. Some people doubt everything.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】F

【3】A

【4】E

【5】B

【解析】我們的勇氣并不是與生俱來的，我們的恐懼也不是。也許有些恐懼來自你的親身經(jīng)歷,別人告訴你的故事，或你在報(bào)紙上讀到的東西。有些恐懼可以理解的，例如在凌晨兩點(diǎn)獨(dú)自走在城里的不安全的地段。但是一旦你學(xué)會(huì)避免那種情況，你就不必生活在恐懼中。

【1】C

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)“Facing the Enemies Within”直面內(nèi)在的敵人，本段最后一句“Far is one of the many enemies living inside us.”（恐懼是一個(gè)生活在我們身邊的敵人），以及空后的 “The first enemy we face is indecision…”,及下一段“he second enemy inside is …”根據(jù)位置可知這是一個(gè)過渡，所以C（讓我來告訴你們心里面臨的兩個(gè)敵人）�？芍�C符合題意。

【2】F

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前的“The first enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity” 我們面對(duì)的第一個(gè)敵人是優(yōu)柔寡斷。它是竊取機(jī)會(huì)的小偷。分析可知小偷會(huì)偷東西。分析選項(xiàng)F 項(xiàng)（它會(huì)偷走你的美好未來），符合題意，故選F。

【3】A

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)“The second enemy inside is doubt”第二個(gè)敵人是懷疑�？蘸髢�(nèi)容But you also can’t let doubt take over（你也不能讓懷疑控制）”。本句中使用“but”一詞表示前后意思相反，因此本空所填的就是“可以懷疑的”，分析選項(xiàng)可知A項(xiàng)（當(dāng)然，可以有正當(dāng)?shù)膽岩傻囊幌氐�。你不能相信一�?/span>）符合題意。因此選A。

【4】E

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上文“I’m telling you, doubt will ruin your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart” 分析可知，懷疑會(huì)毀掉你的生活和你成功的機(jī)會(huì)。它會(huì)掏空你的銀行賬戶和你的心，因此要去掉它。分析選項(xiàng)，可知E項(xiàng)（懷疑是敵人。擺脫它）符合題意，故選E。

【5】B

考查對(duì)上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)后面的“Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.” 在你的生活中要勇敢，要勇敢地追求和你想要的東西和你想成為的人。分析句意可知是勇敢，分析選項(xiàng)，可知 B項(xiàng)（樹立你的勇氣與阻止你前面的，使你遠(yuǎn)離你的目標(biāo)和夢(mèng)想的一切作斗爭。）符合題意，故選B。

【題目】The earlier Thanksgiving in Canada was to celebrate the earlier start of winter in the North, ending the harvest season earlier. Thanksgiving in Canada did not have a fixed date until the late 19th century. Many of the individual Canadian provinces had declared their own days of Thanksgiving. The first official Canadian Thanksgiving occurred on April 15, 1872, when the nation was celebrating the Prince of Wales’ recovery from a serious illness. By the end of the 19th century, Thanksgiving Day was normally celebrated on November 6. However, when World WarⅠended, the Armistice Day holiday was usually held during the same week. To prevent the two holidays from conflicting with each other, in 1957 the Canadian Parliament declared Thanksgiving to be observed on its present date on the second Monday of October.

Much as in Canada, Thanksgiving in the United States was observed on various dates throughout history. From the time of the Founding Fathers until the time of Lincoln, the date Thanksgiving was observed varied from state to state. The final Thursday in November had become the date of custom in most states by the beginning of the 19th century. Modern Thanksgiving was first officially called for in all states in 1863 by Abraham Lincoln. Influenced by Sarah Josepha Hale, who wrote letters to politicians for around 40 years trying to make it an official holiday, Lincoln declared the date to be the final Thursday in November in an attempt to raise a sense of American unity between the Northern and Southern states. However, a nationwide official Thanksgiving date was not realized until the 1870s. On December 26, 1941, President Franklin D. Rosevelt changed the national Thanksgiving Day from the last Thursday in November to the fourth Thursday.

【1】What do Canada and the USA have in common about Thanksgiving?

A. They both have fixed dates of Thanksgiving in history

B. They both celebrate their Thanksgiving on the fourth Thursday of November.

C. They both celebrated their first official Thanksgiving in the 1870s.

D. They both observed thanksgiving to raise a sense of unity of their countries.

【2】Who made American Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November officially?

A. Abraham Lincoln. B. Sarah Josepha Hale.

C. Franklin D. Roosevelt.

【3】What is the passage mainly about?

A. The history of the dates Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

B. The first official Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

C. Modern Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

D. The customs of Thanksgiving in Canada and America.

What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is about making clothes that take into account the environment, the health of consumers and the working conditions of people in the fashion industry. It is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the fashionable terms—‘ecological’ and ‘ethical’. Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (織物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues surrounding them；ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes.

What are the problems with fashion? A closer look at the fashion industry points out many problems that are common practices in the creation of our fashions from the field to the factory. Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纖維生產(chǎn)) brings about waste which does harm to our environment. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve chemicals which evidently do harm to the surroundings. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times.

Then, how to solve the problems? Other industries that design products are ahead of the fashion industry when it comes to choosing sustainable materials, designing for minimum waste, choosing energy efficient manufacturing and creating products for longevity. The fashion industry has been slow to adopt these changes and part of the problem is the very nature of fashion. To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable materials and choosing local suppliers，to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption.

There is some concern that eco-friendly fashions are just a trend that we will eventually grow tired of but we can make sure that doesn't happen. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet.

Shy people are very sensitive to criticism.【4】They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy people may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true".
