【題目】語法填空
One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he (find) that he had run out of salt.So Nick called to his son,“Go to the village and buy some salt,but pay a fair price for it: neither too much too little.”
His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much.Father,but if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”
“That would be a very (reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.
Nick's guests, had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied,"The only reason a man would sell salt a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect me sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."
"But such a small thing couldn't (possible) destroy a village."
“In the beginning, there was only very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little, always (think) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today.”
【答案】found;nor;why;reasonable;who;at;for;possibly;a;thinking
【解析】本文屬于夾敘夾議類短文,原本這個世界上并沒有太多的不公平,但是每個人都認為自己帶來的一點不公不會有太大影響,所以現(xiàn)在的世界上就有很多的不公了。
(1)found 考查時態(tài)。根據(jù)第一句One day, Nick invited his friends to supper.說明本文介紹的是過去發(fā)生的事情,所以全文使用一般過去時。本句也應(yīng)該使用found。
(2)nor 考查固定搭配。短語neither...nor...既不...也不....;該結(jié)構(gòu)表示全部否定。Nick告訴兒子去買鹽,價格不要太貴也不要太便宜。
(3)why 考查固定句式。固定句式why not....?為什么不....?該句型表示咨詢。兒子問:為什么不能省點錢?
(4)reasonable 考查形容詞。橫線后面有名詞thing說明應(yīng)該使用形容詞做定語修飾該名詞,名詞reason的形容詞修飾是reasonable合理的。
(5)who 考查定語從句。本題中先行詞是Nick's guest,關(guān)系代詞who指代先行詞在句中作主語,引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。
(6)at 考查介詞短語。短語at the price of...以...價格;低價賣鹽的人可能是因為他迫切需要錢。
(7)for 考查固定搭配。短語show respect for....表示對....的尊敬;任何一個利用這情景的人是對生產(chǎn)鹽的人的不尊重。
(8)possibly 考查副詞。在英語中通常使用副詞possibly做狀語修飾形容詞、副詞或位于動詞。所以本句中使用副詞possibly修飾謂語部分destroy a village。
(9)a 考查固定搭配。短語a small amount of很少...;開始的時候,在這個世界上只有一點點的不公平。但是后來每個人都加上一點點,這個世界上的不公平就多了很多。
(10)thinking 考查分詞做狀語。本句中動詞think與本句主語everyone構(gòu)成主動關(guān)系,所以使用現(xiàn)在分詞在句中作狀語。每個人都加上一點點,認為這只是一點點,并不重要。

【題目】閱讀理解
At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you'd call a perfect farm. But it was mine.
I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.
I wouldn't say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”
Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!
I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.
(1)Why did the writer buy the Missouri farm?
A.To marry a nice girl.
B.To live a liberating life.
C.To have his own land.
D.To earn more profit.
(2)What was Claudette when the writer met her?
A.A manager.
B.A storekeeper.
C.A housekeeper.
D.A shop assistant.
(3)What can we learn about the Missouri farm?
A.It was well furnished.
B.It led to a happy marriage.
C.It was 40 acres.
D.It made a successful farmer.

【題目】In 1971 a young man who grew up very poor was traveling across the country,trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car.
This continued until one morning,after a week of sleeping in his car,he walked nervously into a diner and ordered a big breakfast. After eating his first good meal in weeks,he found himself lying to the waiter,telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter,who was also the owner,walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting.
He bent down,and took out a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. “Son,you must have dropped this,” the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his ear! He quickly paid for the breakfast,left a tip,bought gas with the bill,and headed West.
On the way out of town,he understood. “Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that owner just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass(使困窘) me. I'd been praying for a few days before that,and right then I just made an engagement.I said,‘If ever I have a chance to help other people,I will do it.’”
Now older,the man lives in Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the “Secret Santa(圣誕老人),” because at Christmas time each year,he personally hands money out to those on the street,and at diners. Last year,he gave more than $50,000 away in Kansas City.

【題目】When I was in my third year at university, my roommates were American footballers, so I decided to join them. I remember seeing them in front of me wearing pads (防護墊), and thinking they were going to kill me. I got tackled (阻截) so hard that I was frightened. But then I realized it was just physical contact. I’ve been addicted since.
The fundamental aim of the game is to score by running with the ball into, or receiving the ball inside the opposition’s end zone. Every player on the field has a set responsibility. I’m a running back. My job is using my speed, strength and skill to carry the ball and keep running until either I score or I get put down. And it does hurt.
I’ve broken two fingers and hurt my shoulder, but the worst was when I trapped the ligaments (韌帶) in the back of my leg. I had to take a year out. But none of that put me off- all I could think was how I was going to come back stronger. Besides training with the team, I now have my gym routine to get fitter, faster and stronger.
Although people think American football is aggressive, there’s much more to it. Every team has its own playbook, outlining everyone’s role in different scenes. My playbook was 73 pages long. Words can’t describe how it feels when it all comes together on the field.
American football has changed my life for the better. I’ve learned time management, how to take responsibility for my action, and how much I treasure being part of a team. Within the four lines of the field, it is physical. Emotions run high. If you’re on the opposing team, you are my enemy. But once the game is done, we’re like a big family.
【1】The author’s body parts were hurt EXCEPT .
A. his arm B. his shoulder
C. his leg D. his finger
【2】What can we infer (推斷) from the text?
A. The author was very delighted when first playing.
B. The author has benefited more than suffering from the sport.
C. The author began to play at the beginning of his university life.
D. Playing American football is very popular among university students.
【3】How does the author find his playing American football?
A. Relaxing. B. Challenging.
C. Boring. D. Rewarding.
【4】The passage is manly about .
A. the rules of playing American football
B. how painful it is to play the sport
C. how the sport has changed the author’s life
D. the reason for the author's playing American football

【題目】I was first introduced to Puppies Behind Bars (PBB) when I watched a special on Animal Planet. This non-profit organization is the brainchild of Gloria Gilbert Stoga, a kind-hearted woman from New York PBB is a program in which specially-selected prisoners from prisons are trained in the preparation of puppies to become service dogs for the handicapped(殘疾人), or police dogs to serve police forces.
My wife and I were so moved when we watched the program. It is a win-win situation at all points. First, it makes a prisoner, who may never have the chance to be released, go back to the community by joining in this program and offering every minute of every day working, loving, and training a puppy for future service. It is difficult for them, but they realize the importance of this program. In addition, most of them have the chance ( for the first time in their lives) to experience warm love through an animal.
Second, the program saves tens of thousands of dollars that it would cost to train these dogs through traditional ways. All donations to the program are used to buy dog food, training supplies, and veterinary care.
Finally, our society benefits from service dogs which can protect people from danger, search and rescue humans after a serious disaster, or become the lifeline for a handicapped person. The last of these goes far beyond the fact that dogs can open.
Fridges, answer the phone or do a dozen other daily tasks. They give a sense of freedom back to a person who has had it taken away by illness, accident, or warfare.
Because of this we have given a lot of monetary support of this meaningful program.
【1】What does the underlined word "brainchild" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Founder.
B. Idea.
C. Pain.
D. Wealth.
【2】In Puppies Behind Bars we can find dogs that_______.
A. are being trained for the government
B. will be adopted by prisoners
C. will serve the disabled and police
D. can play games with children
【3】The donations of this program will _______.
A. be for policemen and prisoners
B. be spent on things for dogs
C. be used to train dogs in traditional ways
D. be handed out to the disabled
【4】What is the author's purpose of writing the text?
A. To ask people to support the police.
B. To indicate the significance of PBB.
C. To call on people to care for dogs.
D. To praise Gloria and her workmates.

What do the world's most successful people all have in common?
By examining the work habits of over 150 greatest writers and artists and scientists, the researchers including Standford Professor Jeffrey Preffer found that high achievers like Robert Moses turn out to be all alike:
Busy ! Busy!
In a study of general managers in industry, John Kotter reported that many of them worked 60 to 65 hours per week—which translates into at least six 10-hour days. The ability and willingness to work difficult and tiring hours has characterized many powerful figures. Energy and strength provide many advantages to those seeking to build power.
Just Say No!
The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say “no” to almost everything. And that's what gives them the time to accomplish so much. And focus means saying “no” to a lot of distractions(分神).
Know What You Are!
Ignore your weakness and keep improving your strengths. Don't waste time exploring skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, focus on—and build on—your strengths..
Create Good Luck!
Luck is not magical—there is a science to it. Richard Wiseman studied lucky people for his book Luck Factor, and broke down what they do right. By being more outgoing, open to new ideas, following the feeling that something is true, being optimistic, lucky people create possibilities.
Does applying these principles to your life actually work? Wiseman created a “l(fā)uck school” to test the ideas—and it was a success. In total, 80 percent of people who attended Luck School said that their luck had increased. .
A. Spend enough time to improve your weakness.
B. Achievement requires focus.
C. On average, these people reported that their luck had increased by more than 40 percent.
D. High achievers never stop working and they never lose a minute.
E. Busy people are more likely to be lucky.
F. This means knowing who you are, what you are and what you are good at.
G. Certain personality types are luckier because they behave in a way that offers the chance for good opportunities.
