【要點綜述】母親樂觀、積極進取的生活態(tài)度影響著“我”,使“我”也和她一樣,不擔心犯錯誤,積極地面對每一個挑戰(zhàn)。
1.考查動詞。該句考查了短語play…role in。句意為: 直到幾年以后我才最終理解模特這一職業(yè)在你的生活中扮演了什么樣的角色。
2.考查動詞。這里指的是節(jié)約每一分錢去學習法律,所以選save,意為“節(jié)約,節(jié)省”。make 做,制造;donate捐贈;receive收到。
3.考查名詞。由第二段中的“When you said you were in law school”可知。
4.考查名詞性從句。此處what引導一個名詞性從句,作從句謂語動詞told的直接賓語,構成tell sb. sth.結構。 引導名詞性從句時,that表陳述,不作任何成分,which“哪一個”作定語,where作地點狀語。
5.考查介詞。這里指的是埋頭苦讀,所以用be buried under。
6.考查形容詞。下一句是作者的疑問“Why were you doing what I do”, 由此可以看出,作者對媽媽的行為頗為不解,感到很疑惑,所以選puzzled,意為“疑惑的,不解的”。下文也有提示:當媽媽回答完后,I was more puzzled。
7.考查名詞。由常識可知,她媽媽和她一樣,記憶課本知識,為了考試而學習,所以用tests。role 角色;position位置;show 表演。
8.考查情態(tài)動詞。句意為:……我更困惑了,當時不知道媽媽們也能成為律師。此處表示“能夠”,用could。
9.考查動詞。這里指的是母親的話(In life, you can do anything you want to do.)一直在“我”耳邊響起,所以用ring,意為“回響”。blow 吹; fall 落下;beat擊,打。
10.考查名詞。這里指面對生活的各種挑戰(zhàn):身為模特,還要完成學業(yè),和爸爸一起開辦公司同時還要撫養(yǎng)5個孩子。所以選challenge,意為“挑戰(zhàn)”。choice 選擇; chance機會; change改變,變化。
11.考查名詞。 model “模特”。由文章第一段中的“…as you modeled for fashion photographers”可知。
12.考查介詞短語。句意為:母親在那么多事情中忙碌著,看得我都筋疲力盡了。四個選項中只有in action(在積極活動中)符合語境。 in danger 在危險中;in trouble 處于困境;in charge負責,管理。
13.考查形容詞。 由文章第一句話“When I was a little girl…”可以看出,那時候“我”很小,所以用youthful,意為“年輕的”。weak 虛弱的; powerful 強大的; empty空的。
14.考查動詞短語!彝蝗桓械綋碛袩o限的自由去放飛夢想,我的整個世界被打開了。所以選open up。 come back 回來;close down 關閉;go by 經(jīng)過。
15.考查名詞。“seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements”可以看出,作者的生活充滿了希望(hope)。hardship 困難; harmony和諧; sadness悲傷。
16.考查副詞。正是母親的話使“我”不斷地發(fā)現(xiàn)自己所取得的成就。所以選constantly,意為“時常地,不斷地”。shortly 立刻;hardly幾乎不;nearly差不多。
17.考查連詞。和前面的either 構成 either…or…結構,意為“或者……或者……”。
18.考查名詞。這里指的是上文媽媽對“我”的教導“In life, you can do anything you want to do. ”由第三段第一句話中的“As young as I was, that statement…”可知選statement,意為“陳述,所說的話”。 description 描述;praise表揚;introduction介紹,引進。
19.考查副詞。在媽媽的激勵下,在人生的道路上“我”毅然前行,不擔心犯錯誤,積極地面對每一個挑戰(zhàn),所以選eagerly,意為“急切地,熱切地”。secretly 秘密地;curiously 好奇地;carelessly 粗心地。
20.考查動詞。由上一句“You did it”, 可知選A。句意為:你做到了,并且我正在做。 consider考慮;correct改正;read讀。

John Blanchard was studying the crowd making their way through the station. He was looking for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
When reading a book in a Florida library a year before, John became interested not in the contents of the book, but in the notes penciled in the margin((空白處). The handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and beautiful mind. He discovered the former owner’s name in the front of the book: Miss Hollis Maynell.
He located her address and wrote a letter introducing himself. The next day he was shipped overseas to serve in the army. During the next year,they grew to know each other through the mail and their friendship developed. John requested a photograph, but she refused, saying if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what
she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return home, their first meeting was suggested-7:00 p.m. at the Grand Central Station in New York.
She wrote, “You’ll recognize me by the red rose I wear on my coat.” So now John was in the station to meet the girl with a rose.
As a pretty and slim girl in green came over, John noticed her blue eyes like flowers in spring. He walked directly towards her, entirely forgetting she was not wearing a rose. As John came closer to her, he saw another woman with a red rose stood nearby. Well past 40, this woman had graying hair done under a worn hat. Seeing the girl in green walk quickly away, John felt as if he were split(劈開) in two. He desired to follow that girl, but longed for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned and supported him.
The woman looked gentle and sensible. John went to her, saying, “I’m Captain John Blanchard. You must be Miss Maynell. I am glad to meet you here. May I take you to dinner?”
She replied with a smile, “I don’t know what this is about. But the lady in green who just went by, begged me to wear this rose on my coat. She said if you asked me out to dinner, I’d tell you she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”

Electric ears are dirty.In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about "zero-emissions vehicles", but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators. Generators are fueled by something---usually coal, oil,but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else that it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are. covering their eyes---"If I can't see it, it's not happening." Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it.But when you take that gas (or another fuel) and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat---at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far---so electric cars bum more fuel than gas-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes; or geothermal,or hydro, or solar, or wind,then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical,and economic reasons,we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition,electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill.And finally, When cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
【小題1】 What does "clueless" mean in paragraph 2?
A.People are seeing the California Greens everywhere. |
B.People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles. |
C.People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells. |
D.People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning |
A.Electric cars are not clean at all |
B.Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones. |
C.People cast doubts on electric cars' batteries. |
D.Gasoline is an efficient way to powera vehicle. |
A.not less than 25 miles | B.more than 25 miles |
C.no more than 25 miles | D.not more than 25 miles |
A.do not burn fuel and more environmentally-friendly |
B.a(chǎn)re toxic because it is difficult for nature to clean it up when their batteries are buried in one spot. |
C.a(chǎn)re very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated |
D.a(chǎn)re poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill |
A.being green is good and should be encouraged in communication |
B.electric cars are not clean in that we get electricity mainly by burning something |
C.zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment |
D.electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered |

In so many ways, cyberspace(網(wǎng)絡空間) mirrors the real world. People ask for information, play games, and share hobby tips. Others buy and sell products. Still others look for friendship, or even love.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words on a computer screen. Identity and appearance mean very little in cyberspace. Rather, a person’s thoughts—or at least the thoughts they type—are what really count. So even the shyest person can become a chat-room star.
Usually, this “faceless” communication doesn’t create problems. Identity doesn’t really matter when you’re in a chat room discussing politics or hobbies. In fact, this emphasis on the ideas themselves makes the Internet a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They’re looking for serious love relationships. Is cyberspace a good place to find love? That answer depends on whom you ask. Some of these relationships actually succeed. Others fail miserably.
Supporters of online relationships claim that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other intellectually first. Personal appearance doesn’t get in the way.
But critics of online relationships argue that no one can truly know another person in cyberspace. Why? Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. Internet users can carefully craft their words to fit whatever image they want to give. And they don’t have to worry about what their “faceless” communication is doing for their image. In a sense, they’re not really themselves.
All of this may be fine if the relationship stays in cyberspace. But not knowing a person is a big problem in a love relationship. With so many unknowns, it’s easy to let one’s imagination “fill in the blanks.” This inevitably leads to disappointment when couples meet in person. How someone imagines an online friend is often quite different than the real person.
So, before looking for love in cyberspace, remember the advice of Internet pioneer Clifford Stoll: “Life in the real world is far richer than anything you’ll find on a computer screen.”
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
【小題1】We learn about a person in cyberspace only through _________________.
【小題2】Why is the Internet a great place for exciting conversation?
【小題3】What makes online love relationship often fail?
【小題4】From the passage we can learn that the writer __________________________ looking for love on the Internet.
