Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not (real) prepared me for anything practical. I knew I felt like (make) a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea to do that. That's when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.
I started my journey a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work,that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my (decide) to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. did my family.
Eventually, however, I (win) the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call(ask) me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

【答案】really;making;how;as;and;decision;Neither;won;the;asking
【解析】本文是一篇記敘文。敘述了作者當(dāng)志愿者的故事。
(1) 考查副詞。在英語中提出使用副詞充當(dāng)狀語修飾動詞、形容詞或者副詞。本句中使用副詞really修訂謂語動詞had not prepared me for。故填really。
(2)考查固定搭配。feel like doing sth.固定短語“喜歡做某事”。我知道我喜歡設(shè)法對這個社會產(chǎn)生起一點作用。故填making 。
(3)考查特殊疑問詞。在英語中“特殊疑問詞+不定式”可以充當(dāng)主語、賓語、表語和定語;本句中how和不定式連用,一起充當(dāng)idea的同位語。句意:但是我不知道如何做這件事情。故填how。
(4)考查介詞。介詞as通常接表示身份的名詞。句意:作為a Lighthouse Project項目的志愿者,我開始了我的旅行。故填as 。
(5)考查連詞。句意:我知道這會是很困難的工作,我也知道我會遠(yuǎn)離家人和朋友很長時間。根據(jù)句意可知上下文之間是并列關(guān)系,所以使用并列連詞and。
(6)考查名詞。本句中所有格my后面要接名詞長度take的賓語,動詞decide的名詞是decision。故填decision。
(7) 考查倒裝句。根據(jù)橫線后的did my family.可知本句是一個倒裝句,“neither+助動詞/系動詞/情態(tài)動詞+另一主語”表示前面的情況同樣適用于另外一人。故填Neither。
(8)考查時態(tài)。本文通篇都使用一般過去時,所以本句也應(yīng)該使用過去式won。句意:最后我贏得了家人的支持。故填won 。
(9)考查冠詞。本句使用定冠詞the特指參加本次活動的所有的候選人。句意:經(jīng)過數(shù)不清的面試和陳述,我和其他候選人站在一起,并一直站到了最后。故填the。
(10)考查非謂語動詞。本句中動詞ask與名詞call構(gòu)成主動關(guān)系,所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞在句中充當(dāng)定語。句意:幾個月后,我接到一個讓我報道的電話。故填asking。

Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor(因素) that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe they do. Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(傾向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man' s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.
A. However, women, on average, live longer.
B. The biological factor plays an important part.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.
E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.
F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,選擇最佳答案。
The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple's products sounds cool and has become a fad(一時的風(fēng)尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” --and many other brands are following suit. The BBC's iPlayer--which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet--used the title in 2008. A lovely bear--popular in the US and UK--that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(簡裝本) of London's Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes(前綴) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(電子商務(wù)) first came into use.
Most “I” products are targeted at(針對) young people and considering the major readers of Independent's “I”, it's no surprise that they've selected this fashionable name.
But it's hard to see what's so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King's College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn't have one clear definition(定義),” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (輕便).” adds Thorne.
Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “I” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).
But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
(1)We can infer that the Independent's "i" is designed at .
A.old readers
B.young readers
C.fashionable women
D.engineers
(2)The underlined word “ambiguous” means ““.
A.popular
B.clear
C.uncertain
D.unique
(3)Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are.
A.portable
B.environmentally friendly
C.advanced
D.recyclable
(4)The writer suggests that.
A.“i” products are often of high quality
B.iTeddy is alive bear
C.the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D.the popularity of “i” products may not last long

【題目】閱讀理解
Since my family were not going to be helpful about my taking a cooking job, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not to tell them about it till I'd got a permanent one.
I had seen an agency advertised in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say “Where are you going?” I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as nervous as if I were going on the stage. Finding the place quite easily, I tore up three flights of stairs, and swung breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office calmed me, and I sat down on the edge of a chair. The woman at the desk opposite looked carefully at me. Then she questioned me in a low voice. I answered softly and started to feel helpless. She wondered why I was looking for this sort of job, so I felt I had to give her the idea of a widowed mother struggling against poverty. But I felt more helpless when she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience or references. Suddenly, the telephone on her desk rang. While having a mysterious conversation, she kept looking at me. Then I heard her say:
“In fact, I've got someone here who might suit.” She wrote down a number, and my spirits rose as she held out the paper to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. Cook a dinner for ten people tomorrow. Could you manage that, I wonder?”
“Oh, yes,” say I—never having cooked for more than four. Then I rushed out and called the lady, Miss Cathy. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for. “Are you sure?” she kept saying. Anyway she decided to employ me and a permanent position if I carried out the promise of my self-praise. I asked her what tomorrow's menu was to be.
“Just a small, simple dinner: lobster cocktail, soup, turbot mornay, fruit salad and a savory.” In a rather shaken voice I promised to turn up in good time tomorrow and rang off.
(1)What did the author feel on her way?
A.Excited but worried.
B.Nervous and excited.
C.Easy and curious.
D.Helpless but excited.
(2)Why didn't the woman give the author the job at first?
A.Because the woman found that the author didn't respect her.
B.Because the woman realized that the author made up a story.
C.Because the author hadn't been a cook before or got a reference.
D.Because the woman had already hired a more suitable cook.
(3)According to the passage, what would the author most probably do after the call?
A.Read some cookery book.
B.Call her family and tell them the news.
C.Go to the woman's house.
D.Buy what the woman told her at once.

Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. But in fact, a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. They care just as much as girls do about their body image.
Body image is a person's opinions and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. You appreciate your body for its capabilities and accept its imperfections.
Here are some ideas.
Recognize your strengths. Different body types are good for different things. What does your body do well? Maybe your speed, strength, or coordination makes you better than others at a certain sport. That may be basketball, table tennis, mountain biking, dancing, or even running. Or perhaps you have non-sports skills, like drawing, painting, singing, playing a musical instrument, writing, or acting.
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help you look well and feel good about yourself. Good physiques (體形) don't just happen. A healthy habit can be as simple as exercising 20 minutes to 1 hour three days a week. Working out can also lift your spirits.
Respect your body! Practicing good habits regular showering; taking care of your teeth, hair, and skin; wearing clean clothes, and so on can help you build a positive body image.
Your body is just one part of who you are. Your talent for comedy, a quick wit (智慧) and all the other things make you unique. So try not to let small imperfections take over.
A. Use this as an opportunity to discover what you're good at.
B. Be yourself.
C. Having a positive body image means feeling satisfied with the way you look.
D. Just explore talents that you feel good about.
E. They take hard work, regular workouts, and a healthy diet.
F. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed.
G. So, what can you do to develop a positive body image?
