【題目】My 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.

It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.

In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.

For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.

I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.

【1】The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.

A. she watched the scene with her daughter

B. the scene was very exciting and interesting

C. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lesson

D. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children

【2】After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.

A. realized she hadn’t done enough for her daughter

B. often cried as she missed her daughter so much

C. failed to have a good sleep every night

D. didn’t get used to the change for a long time

【3】What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?

A. Happiness. B. Sadness.

C. Excitement. D. Anger.

【4】According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?

A. To say good night to her daughter.

B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.

C. To wait for her daughter’s messages.

D. To call her daughter any time.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】作者通過描寫女兒上大學(xué)后對(duì)女兒的思念，表達(dá)了母親對(duì)孩子深深的愛。

【1】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段講述的Peter Pan 中母親祈禱夜燈保護(hù)熟睡的孩子的場(chǎng)面，和As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.可知作者被母親對(duì)孩子的深愛打動(dòng)，記憶深刻。故選D.

【2】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段For us, though, it’s another story. I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.可知母親不能像孩子那樣很快適應(yīng)，不能習(xí)慣這種變化。故選D.

【3】B

猜測(cè)詞義題。此處指在我的社區(qū)里，孩子上大學(xué)離開了父母，大多數(shù)的父母不能適應(yīng)，所以感到憂郁。劃線詞“melancholy”指悲傷，憂郁，與sadness同義，故選B.

【4】A

細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)最后一段I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think that messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.可知作者把手機(jī)放在床邊，每天晚上給女兒發(fā)祝愿的信息，希望這些信息當(dāng)作一盞夜燈來保護(hù)女兒的安全。故選A.

【題目】閱讀填空
I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn't work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It's just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn't work, one of the others will.
Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
If you make a commitment to finish before aspecific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.
Don't try to tackle (處理) more things all at atime. All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases，even money.
So,don't be afraid of organization. The older we get,the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.

【題目】The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old willow tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!”

In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals (花瓣) all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.

But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “It really smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it’s for you.”

The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.”

But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.

I heard my voice quiver (輕微顫抖), and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “You’re welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.

I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.

Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that’s mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.

【1】When she sat down to read on the bench, the author _______.

A. felt relaxed and peaceful

B. felt upset and unhappy with her life

C. wanted to have a friend keeping her company

D. felt proud to have overcome the difficulties in life

【2】The boy gave the flower to the author probably because _______.

A. he didn’t like it any more

B. he wanted to give the author a lesson

C. he realized the author was in a bad mood

D. he was sure the author would be happy with it

【3】Why did the author decide to take the flower at first?

A. Because she was really moved by the boy.

B. Because she didn’t want to hurt the young boy.

C. Because she thought the flower was really beautiful.

D. Because she didn’t like being bothered by the boy any more.

【4】Which of the following can best describe the boy?

A. Handsome and intelligent.

B. Kind and optimistic.

C. Warmhearted and sensitive.

D. Independent and active.

【題目】I love charity(慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.

The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful it had been flooded with donations(捐贈(zèng)物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.

Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, although they don’t encourage this, rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.

The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding(資助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment.

【1】The author loves the charity shop mainly because of .

A. its convenient location B. its great variety of goods

C. its spirit of goodwill D. its nice shopping environment

【2】The first charity shop in the UK was set up to .

A. sell cheap products B. deal with unwanted things

C. raise money for patients D. help a foreign country

【3】Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops?

A. The operating costs are very low. B. The staff are usually well paid.

C. 90% of the donations are second-hand. D. They are open twenty-four hours a day.

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A. What to Buy at Charity Shops.

B. Charity Shop: Its Origin & Development.

C. Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate.

D. The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops.

【題目】Lifestyle changes are a process that takes time and requires support. Here are five tips from the American Psychological Association to help you make lasting, positive lifestyle and behavior changes.

Make a plan that will stick.

Your plan is a map that will guide you on this journey of change. 【1】 Want to exercise more? Detail the time of day when you can take walks and how long you’ll walk. Write anything down, and ask yourself if you’re confident that these activities and goals are realistic for you.

Start small.

After you’ve identified realistic short-term and long-term goals，break down your goals into small，manageable steps that can be measured. If your long-term goal is to lose 20 pounds within the next five months, a good weekly goal would be to lose one pound a week. 【2】

Change one behavior at a time.

Unhealthy behaviors develop over the course of time, so replacing unhealthy behaviors with healthy ones requires time. Many people run into problems when they try to change too much or too fast. 【3】

【4】

Whether it is a friend, co-worker or family member，someone else on your journey will keep and motivated and accountable. Perhaps it can be someone who will go to the gym with you or someone who is also trying to stop smoking.

Ask for support.

Accepting help from those who care about you and will listen strengthens your commitment. If you feel unable to meet your goals on your own, consider seeking help from psychologists.

Making changes takes time and commitment, but you can do it. 【5】 Minor missteps on the road to your goals are normal and okay. Resolve to recover and get back on track.

A. When making your plan, be specific.

B. Just keep it in mind that no one is perfect.

C. Find a partner.

D. Communicating with your friends.

E. Careful planning means setting small goals and taking one step at a time.

F. To improve your success, focus on one goal or change at a time.

G. By taking steps gradually you’ll feel successful in meeting your goal.
