My dream ended when I was born. Although I never knew it then, I just held on to something that would never come to pass. Dreams really do exist. But in the morning when you wake up, they are remembered just as a dream. That is what happened to me.

I always had the dream to dance like a beautiful ballerina（芭蕾舞女演員）turning around and around and hearing people applaud for me. When I was young, I would turn around and around in the fields of wildflowers that grew in my backyard. 

Reality woke me up when I heard someone saying, "I don't know why you bother trying to dance. Ballerinas are pretty and slender(苗條) www..comgirls. Besides, you don't have the talent to even be a ballerina." I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours. 

I enjoyed hanging out by the water. I would sit there for hours and stare at my reflection(倒影). There I was, looking nothing like a pretty ballerina dancer. Reflections don't lie. Once the waves would come, my reflection was washed away just like my dream to dance.

As I grew older, I began to realize that the reason my dream was even born was because it was something that was inside of me. The dream I had was never nurtured(培育) and cared for, so it slowly died. It's not that I wanted it to die, but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words, "You can't do it." When I finally woke up from many years of dreaming, I realized that you can't only settle for dancing in the wildflowers, you have to move on to the platform.

Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage？

A. Care for your dream

B. Dream and reality

C. Nothing is impossible

D. Efforts to be a ballerina will pay  

The author didn’t realize her dream of being a ballerina mainly because_______.

A. she was bored of dancing and performing  

B. she had lack of self-respect

From the passage, it can be inferred that _________.

A. the author was once a pretty and slender girl with wonderful dream.

B. we should dare to give up our dream facing much pressure and difficulty

C. if you stick to your dream and never say die, you will enjoy a bright life

D. You should necer give up.

What is the main purpose of writing the passage?

A. to complain    B. to praise     C. to warn    D. to criticize

The underlined expression “settle for” in the last paragraph means_________.

A. turn down     B. take up    C. give up   D. settle down   

【小題1】A

【小題2】D

【小題3】C

【小題4】C

【小題5】B


解析:

【小題1】主旨大意題。本文大意：當(dāng)夢(mèng)想遭到現(xiàn)實(shí)的撞擊時(shí)，總會(huì)發(fā)出凄美的破碎聲。心靈被夢(mèng)想的碎片刺痛，散落的碎片上還殘留著斑斕的顏色。然而，心靈的疼痛卻有著催人成長(zhǎng)的力量。夢(mèng)想的幻滅，是因?yàn)樗鼪](méi)有得到精心的照料。去呵護(hù)你的夢(mèng)想吧！勇敢地站在舞臺(tái)中央，跳一曲快樂(lè)的人生芭蕾。故A項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中 “I remember how those words hurt every feeling in my body. I fell to the ground and wept for hours.”和最后一段中 “but I allowed it to die the day I started listening to the words,”可知, 別人的話左右了作者的夢(mèng)想, 使她的夢(mèng)想成為泡影。故D項(xiàng)為正確答案。

【小題3】推理判斷題。由本文的寫作目的和最后一段可以推出, 我們要精心照料和呵護(hù)我們的夢(mèng)想，從不言敗，勇敢地面對(duì)困難和差距，享受屬于自己的美好人生。故C項(xiàng)為正確答案。A、D項(xiàng)表述片面；B項(xiàng)與文章的基調(diào)不符。

【小題4】本文作者以自身的經(jīng)歷告誡我們, 要精心經(jīng)營(yíng)我們的夢(mèng)想, 用我們的努力去迎接現(xiàn)實(shí)的挑戰(zhàn), 不能人云亦云, 讓別人控制你的夢(mèng)想。故C項(xiàng)為最佳答案。

【小題5】詞義猜測(cè)題。本句的意思為：當(dāng)我從多年的夢(mèng)想醒來(lái)的時(shí)候，我意識(shí)到你不能只勉強(qiáng)接受在花叢中飛舞，勇敢地站在舞臺(tái)中央，跳一曲快樂(lè)的人生芭蕾。take up意思為 “接受，開始從事”。

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

Question: Before graduation, I decided to be a useful man for our country. However, when I applied for some positions, I was turned down. Only then did I realize it was not easy to achieve my dream.     1     Now I even don’t have the courage to try a new position. How can I find the power to continue my dream?

Answer: I can understand the situation you are in. You feel your life lacks the power that you want and the motivation that you need.      2     

By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive (動(dòng)機(jī)) to work towards on your goals.      3     

Your life can be improved, and your happiness enriched when you choose to change your views. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously alone.     4     Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not just about control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust.     5     Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life.

A. What you need is to change your goal.

B. The fact that the positions were not offered to me beat me.

C. Learn to rise above anxiety and doubt.

D. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.

E. Unfortunately, many people haven’t realized it.

F. Actually all you have to do is change your points of view.

G. You must go in the direction of your hopes and ambitions.

首先請(qǐng)閱讀下列6出電影的簡(jiǎn)要介紹，并按照要求匹配信息。

A．It is about the legend of vampire, the story of the wolf man, the campus life, moved love story, horror, adventure and other elements. The story begins with the main character, Isabella (Bella) Swan, moving from Phoenix, to the small town of Forks, a dreary and rain-filled place, to live with her father. She develops a relationship with fellow student, Edward Cullen, who initially annoys her, but despite a rough beginning, they fall in love. After witnessing some strange behavior from Edward, Bella eventually discovers that he is a vampire, but despite the very real risk to her life, she cannot bear to be apart from him. Eventually Bella is introduced to Edward’s vampire family, not all of who welcome her with open arms, however, it is Edward’s family that go to great lengths to save Bella when her life is threatened.

 

B. With an absent father and a withdrawn and depressed mother, 17 year-old Ree Dolly keeps her family together in a dirt poor rural area. She's taken backwards however when the local Sheriff（縣治安官） tells her that her father put up their house for his bail（保釋）and unless he shows up for his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. She knows her father is involved in the local drug trade and manufactures crystal meth but anywhere she goes the message is the same: stay out of it and stop poking your nose in other people's business. She refuses to listen, even after her father's brother, Teardrop, tells her he's probably been killed. She pushes on, putting her own life in danger, for the sake of her family until the truth, or enough of it, is revealed.

 

C. Dom Cobb is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb's rare ability has made him a coveted（妄想的） player in this deceitful new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption（贖）. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible-inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move...

D. Reflecting on her earlier life, she observes that for most of it she was either with a man or in the process of leaving one, and so in the first stages of her journey she experiments with singleness. Not with solitude, exactly, since Liz is naturally sociable and acquires friends easily. Back home in New York she has Delia, and in Rome a Swedish woman named Sofi introduces her to an amicable（心平氣和）group of Italians, including a fellow whose last name is Spaghetti. While he is seen mainly in group shots, his namesake food is filmed in loving close-ups. In keeping with the theme of self-examination, Liz’s trip is confined to countries that begin with the letter “I”. From the ruins of Italy, to an ashram in India, and then to Indonesia......

 

E. John Crowley is a worried businessman and father of two children stricken with Pompe disease, suffering of muscle deterioration（惡化）with an age expectancy of nine years. With critical birthdays looming on the horizon, Crowley decides to take a chance and pursue research scientist Robert Stonehill, a rebellious thinker in the field of Pompe with radical ideas on enzyme therapy. Promising money he doesn't necessarily have, Crowley talks Stonehill into a business venture, pushing the irascible（暴躁的） scientist into research while he worries about the cash flow. With the clock ticking, Stonehill presents challenging theories, irritating the interest of pharmaceutical giants, who demand results practically overnight. With Stonehill feeling the heat during this demoralizing process, Crowley fights to maintain the face of Pompe, to keep the cure from becoming just another compromised drug on the market.

 

F. Bob Ho, a Chinese spy who was loaned to the CIA and is now retiring so he can settle down and marry his girlfriend, Gillian, who lives next door and doesn't know he's a spy. She thinks he's a pen importer. Around her, Bob acts like a boring country man, wears eyeglasses, and hides his super-spy abilities. Gillian loves that he's normal and reliable, not like her ex-husband, who ran off and left her with three kids. So Gillian has to go out of town because her father's in the hospital, and Bob volunteers to babysit so he can bond with the children. Meanwhile, a Russian terrorist named Poldark has escaped CIA custody and is looking for a top-secret code that young Ian accidentally downloaded from Bob's computer, which means Poldark and his goons are going to show up any minute now and kill them all. Bob must save the children -- and the world!
