20.In the very early 1800's,a young boy about 14 years old named John lived in an orphanage (孤兒院) in Old England along with several other children.Orphan meant unwanted and unloved.
     Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn't work and received a gift,an orange.Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剝開)it to enjoy the sweet juice.Many thought were expressed as Christmas time approached.The children would say,"I will keep mine the longest."John usually slept with his next to his pillow.This year John was overjoyed by the Christmas season.He was b ecoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave.He would save his orange until his birthday in July.
     Christmas day finally came.The children were so excited as they entered the big dining hall.Immediately the master shouted,"John,leave the hall and there will be no orange for you this year."John's heart broke violently wide open.He turned and went swiftly back to the cold room.Then he heard the door open and each of the children entered.Little Elizabeth with her hair falling over her shoulders,a smile on her face,and tears in her eyes held out a piece of rag to John."Here John,"she said,"this is for you."As he lifted back the edges of the rag he saw a big juicy orange all peeled and quartered and then he realized what they had done
John never forgot the sharing,love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day.In memory of that day every year he would send oranges all over the world to children everywhere.
24.These children would be happiest whenC.
A.they got the special gift

分析 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀,John 住在孤兒院;John 14歲了;John 生活在19世紀(jì)早期;John 是一個(gè)沒人要的、沒人疼愛的孤兒.本文以此展開,主要介紹了John在孤兒院的經(jīng)歷,意在教育我們要學(xué)會和別人分享.

解答 24.答案:C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第二段Christmas was the one day of the year when the children didn't work and received a gift,an orange.Usually they tried to taste and preserve it for so long that it often rotted before they ever peeled(剝開)it to enjoy the sweet juice.可知,他們得到橘子這個(gè)禮物和他們把它保留的時(shí)間長,他們會很高興,但是,他們最高興的還是吃到橘子時(shí).故答案選C.  
25.答案:B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段He was b ecoming a man and stronger and soon he would be old enough to leave.He would save his orange until his birthday in July.,下一年令他高興的是今年他得到的禮物能夠在他明年的生日上吃.故答案選B.  
26.答案:A.推理判斷題.通過文章第三段"all peeled and quartered"可知,這個(gè)橘子是這些孩子一人一瓣湊成的一個(gè)橘子.故答案選A.

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,推理判斷題.做題時(shí)學(xué)生應(yīng)仔細(xì)閱讀原文,把握文章主要內(nèi)容,聯(lián)系文章上下文內(nèi)容并結(jié)合所給選項(xiàng)含義,從中選出正確答案,一定要做到有理有據(jù),切忌胡亂猜測.

17.Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger's personality simply by looking at the person's shoes."Shoes convey useful information about their wearers,"the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality.
Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style,cost,color and condition of someone's shoes.In the study,63 University of Kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208different pairs of shoes worn by the study's participants.Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes,and then filled out a personality questionnaire.
Some of the results were expected:People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes,and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people.However,some of the more specific results are strange enough.For example,"practical and functional"shoes were generally worn by more"pleasant"people,while ankle boots were more linked with"aggressive"personalities.The strangest of all may be that those who wore"uncomfortable looking"shoes tend to have"calm"personalities.And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them,you may suffer from"attachment anxiety",spending lots of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal(主張變革的)types wearing"shabbier and less expensive"shoes.
The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities,but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.

28.What does this text mainly tell us?C
A.Shoes can hide people's real personalities.
B.Shoes convey false information about the wearer.
C.People's personalities can be judged by their shoes.
D.People know little about their personalities.
29.The participants were asked toA.
A.provide pictures of their shoes
B.look at pictures of different shoes
C.design a personality questionnaire
D.hand in their commonly worn shoes
30.Which of the results is beyond people's expectation?C
A.Wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.
B.Pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.
C.Aggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots.
D.Flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.
31.People suffering from"attachment anxiety"tend toB.
A.wear strange shoes      B.worry about their appearance
C.have a calm character      D.become a political leader.

15.LONDON(Reuters)-Oxford University has introduced confidence classes for female students to get them to compete for jobs in future and win chances to work in best companies.
They may be young and gifted,but research at the excellent institution has found that female undergraduates(大學(xué)生) are shying away from applying for jobs in banking,finance,management consultancy,engineering and resource management.Partly as a result,starting salaries for women when they graduate are on average£2,000to£3,000lower than their male peers.
"Women are earning less on leaving Oxford University.It is ridiculous,"said Jonathan Black,director of the Careers Service at the university."We have high quality,high achieving students of both genders.But it appears that women are selecting lower-paid jobs.They accept more prejudice(偏見) in certain industries and are saying‘I won't struggle for that really high-paid job'.We are not trying to push loads of women but trying to say they should feel able to apply for these sorts of jobs.Men seem to have more self-confidence and see the bigger picture generally,even when their self-belief is not necessarily based on any greater academic advantage."
The four-day programme at Oxford University will help 45female undergraduates improve their self-confidence and decision-making,think positively and build on their strengths.Confidence training will teach them how to deal with challenging situations.
Successful female employees from RBS(蘇格蘭皇家銀行) and BP(英國石油公司),which are supporting the course,will talk about their lives and careers.RBS's involvement follows a promise by the bank to increase its national percentage of female graduate applications from 35percent to 50percent by 2014.
Sophie Kelley,20,studying law at Oxford University,is hoping the course will make her more confident in courses and interviews."I am applying to London law firms for vacation schemes and it is so competitive,"she said."The rejection letters don't give any real feedback(反饋的意見),so I'm expecting the programme might give me a hand and advice."

24.Oxford University brings in confidence classes in order to helpC.
A.female undergraduates build on their strengths in daily life
B.male undergraduates make friends with females at the university
C.female undergraduates find higher-paid jobs with more confidence
D.female undergraduates fight against challenges in the face of danger
25.What is the worrying situation for female undergraduates?B
A.They are looked down upon by most companies.
B.Their opportunities are limited and their salaries are lower.
C.Fewer of them are admitted to Oxford University.
D.They are refused to work in banking and finance fields.
26.What can we learn from Paragraph 5?B
A.Females from RBS and BP are very successful.
B.RBS will create more job chances for female undergraduates in future.
C.RBS will be the only choice for female undergraduates.
D.All female undergraduates from Oxford University can apply for RBS.
27.What can we learn about Sophie Kelley?A
A.She hopes to benefit more from the programme.
B.She has been refused by the programme at Oxford University.
C.She feels the programme is ridiculous in modern society.
D.She isn't fit for the world of competition and challenges.

9.It was a hot,humid day,and my brother Walt and I had decided that the only way to survive it would be to go swimming in a deep swimming hole across Mr.Blickez's pasture(牧場) and through some woods.
The only problem with our plan was that this pasture was guarded by a huge,mean Hereford bull.Mr.Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township,maybe even the county,and we believed him.But the hotter it got,the more we thought there was something fishy about his claim.For one thing,we remembered Mr.Blickez liked telling tall tales; for another,Elsie seemed like an odd name for a bull.
Finally,I talked Mom into asking permission for us to walk through the pasture,but then another problem surfaced.Mom said she would talk to Mr.Blickez if we would take our cousin Joanie along with us.Joanie was almost two years older than me and a head taller.If her teasing ever got around my grade school,it would be all over for me.In fact,I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning."I'm not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin."I told my mom.
"Either Joanie goes with,or you stay home alone,"Mom said in her serious tone.I gave in and we set out.On our way across the pasture,Walt yelled suddenly.Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back.Joanie and I dove under the wire fence,but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn't a big mean bull after all.She was going to keep licking my brother's back as long as he stood still.
We had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called"big mean bull".And as it turned out,for a girl cousin,Joanie hasn't been too bad.She's been one of my best friends over the years.

24.What's the meaning of the underlined word"fishy"in paragraph 2?C
A.Funny      
B.Interesting     
C.Doubtful    
D.Believable
25.What's the second problem the author has to faceA
A.His mother insisted on his cousin going with him.
B.His cousin made jokes on him in his grade school.
C.He quarreled with his cousin and had a headache.
D.His mother failed to ask permission for him.
26.What does the author think of Elsie in the endD
A.Aggressive.
B.Unkind.
C.Bad-tempered.
D.Friendly.
27.What's the passage mainly aboutB
A.The bull guarding Mr.Blickez's farm.
B.The story of visiting the swimming hole.
C.How friendly the so-called mean bull was.
D.How the author changed his attitude to Joanie.
