细节理解题。根据命题的顺序性原则，可在第一段找到答题的关键信息，主要信息点在第一段。第一段第二句Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly (由于她的英语不好，常常受到不公正对待)是关键句，第三句是个长句具本列举了她所受的不公正待遇，故选A。选项B和C只用了文中个别单词，与文中意思不同，选项D更是无中生有。 A. good at pretending B. rude to the stockbroker C. ready to help her mother D. unwilling to phone for her mother 42. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was ____. 42. D
推理判断题。由I was forced to…可推知，应当选D，而不要选C。由that was not very convincing可排选项A；选项B是无中生有，也应排除。 A. they forgave the stockbroker
B. they failed to get the check C. they went to New York immediately
D. they spoke to their boss at once 43. After the author made the phone call, ___. 43. B
推理判断题。由电话中的话“I can’t tolerate any more excuse…when I am in New York next week.”和下段中的The next week we ended up in New York.可推知, 因为如果收到了the check, 她们就不会去了纽约了, 既然去了, 说明没有收到。 A. It confuses her.
B. It embarrasses her. C. It helps her understand the world.
D. It helps her tolerate rude people. 44. What does the author think of her mother’s English now? 44. C
细节理解题。由最后一段，But now后的内容，特别是最后一句It was the language that …made sense of the world可知，选项C中的understand与make sense of是同义替换。 A. is clear and natural to non-native speakers B. is vivid and direct to non-native speakers C. has a very bad reputation in America D. may bring inconvenience in America 45.

推理判断题。主要由第一段可推断出。选项A和B是作者自己的感悟; 选项C没有信息支持。 adolescent

vt. 容忍；宽恕
concerned
adj. 担忧的(=worried) wisdom
n. 智慧
embarrass sb. 使某人尴尬

make sense of 懂得；理解(=understand) ［复记强化］ ［难句理解］ It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. 结构分析：句中it was…that是强调结构,
I saw things…the world是省略了that的定语从句,
在这个从句中有三个并列的谓语。
汉语大意：我看观事情、表达思想和理解世界的方式，正是由这种语言助我形成的。 A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather than others 46. According to the passage, winners ____. 46. A
推理判断题。由第一段中的 “once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser”可知“赢家不应责备别人”，由第一段中的 “focusing on how to remedy the situation”和第二段首句Winners are great at overcoming problems可知，“赢家是解决问题”，第二段的举例中有更明显的话 “find ways of dealing with…rather than…”，故选A。 47. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. avoid
B.
accept
C. improve
D. consider 47. C
词义猜测题。由上文“因a bad situation来责备某人或某事是失败者”,
而“改变 the situation是不可能的”,
“然而你可以remedy the situation”, 根据这三句的逻辑关系不难推出，remedy应是“改善”之意。 A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility C. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help 48. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ____. 48. A 细节理解题。由第二段第四句if your colleague causes you problems… find ways of dealing with…可知。 A. excuses for their failures

B. A Winner’s Problem. C. A Winner’s Opportunity.
D. A Winner’s Achievement. 50. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? 50. A
主旨大意题。由第一段第一句When something goes wrong和最后一句This is the winner’s key to success可知。 复 记 强化
so-and-so某某人 break down发生故障 l have power over控制；支配 focus on集中于；强调 colleague
n. 同事
for lack of 因没有；因缺乏
be all about…把……当作重点 irresponsibility
adj. 无责任感 challenge
n. 挑战
opportunity
n. 机遇(=chance) develop one’s talents培养才能 bring about使发生；引起(=cause) handle
vt. 处理(=deal with) ［难句理解］This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. 结构分析：what引导一个表语从句，从句的主语是动名词短语being a winner (成为一个成功者);破折号后面的creatively using your skills and talents是what的同位语，用来进一步解释what的具体内容；so that(为了，以便)引导一个目的状语从句；no matter what happens是让步状语从句，意为“不论发生什么事”“无论出现什么情况”。 汉语大意：这就是成为一个成功者的重点所在——创造性地运用你的技能和天赋使你获得成功，无论出现什么情况。 A. Food when poisoned can make people sick. B. Food poisoning means death. C. Food poisoning comes in varieties.
D. Food poisoning can be serious. 51. Which of the following statements is NOT true? 51. B
细节理解题。由第一段中的Food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly和最后一段可知，致命的食物中毒只是其中一些类型，而且可以通过洗胃等方式治愈。因此选项B“食物中毒意味着死亡”言过其实，过于绝对，与文章内容不符。由第一段第二句可知, 选项A正确；由第二、三、四段可知,选项C正确；由第一段第三句可知选项D正确。 A. are always accompanied by a fever
B. are too common to be noted C. can be noticed within hours
D. can be ignored 52. We know from the passage that the symptoms of food poisoning ____. 52. C
细节理解题。由第一段倒数第二句The symptoms of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food (食物中毒的症状通常在吃了有毒食物后几个小时内显现出来)可知, 选C。 A. some chemicals
B. low temperatures C. some tiny living things
D. certain natural materials 53. Food poisoning can be caused by all the following EXCEPT ____. 53. B
细节理解题。由第三段第一句Some chemicals can also cause food poisoning可知，选项A符合事实；由第二段these tiny living things release poisons that make people sick可知选项C符合事实；由第四段第一句Some plants and animals contain natural poisons that are harmful to people可知，选项D符合事实。只有选项B与文中内容不符。 A. mushrooms should not be eaten B. vegetables are safer than meat and seafood C. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicals D. different types of food should be handled differently 54. From Paragraph 5, we can learn that ____. 54. D
推理判断题。本段讲到微生物繁殖快、食物表面的化学物质、某些食品(如蘑菇)本身含有的天然毒素、某些鱼可能有毒等四种类型的食物中毒的不同处理方式。因此，可以得出结论“不同类型的食物应当用不同方法来处理”，故选D。 A. natural materials are safe in food processing
B. chemicals are needed in food processing C. food poisoning can be kept under control
D. food poisoning is out of control 55. It can be inferred from the passage that ___. 55. C
推理判断题。由第五段When people handle food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small(只要人们处理食物恰当，食物中毒的可能性是相当小的)和第六段可知，食物中毒是可以控制的。另外，选项C和选项D的意思恰恰相反, 遇上这种情况，一般说来, 必有一个是正确答案, 解题时重点核对这两个选项即可。 复 记 强 化 deadly
adj. 致命的
symptom
n. 症状 bacteria
n. 细菌 spray
vt. 喷射 mushroom
n. 蘑菇
multiply
vi. 繁殖 thoroughly
adv. 完全地(=completely) unwashed
adj. 未洗的；不清洁的
recover from从……中恢复
have a bad reaction to… 对……有不良反应 ［难句理解］ If people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied. 结构分析：句中if引导一个条件状语从句, 主句中不动式短语to have their stomachs emptied作目的状语; 因stomachs与empty是被动关系, 故用过去分词作宾补, 即have sth. done (让人做某事)句型。
汉语大意：如果人们吃了天然毒物，他们就必须马上去医院将胃清空。 * * * * * * * *
