Ⅱ.阅读理解
Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful
words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.
Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an
activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing
to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really
like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family,
a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless
activities not only because of the boring activities themselves
but also the cool response of our classmates.
I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is
so low may be as follows：
To start with, many of us take part in more than one
organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the
study fields, many of us may find that our courses are
sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially
the specialized subjects.
Moreover，“history” teaches us that if one does not study
hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and
good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have
a lot of homework to do, so...”．
Last but not least, some people believe that some of our
leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should
say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of
yours. At least I am the warmhearted one, although I cannot
promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I
will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.
Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work pains takingly for a better condition that we should have reached.
【语篇解读】 昔日热衷于参加各类活动的雀跃而又温馨的场面已成为美好的回忆，如今取而代之的是冷漠。创建优秀的班集体需要全体学生的共同努力，班干部要起好带头作用。
1．At the beginning of the first semester the students were________each other.
A．quite curious about
B．active and kind to
C．full of sympathy to
D．specially tired of
解析 细节理解题。结合第二段第二、三、四句的内容可知，学生在第一学期开始的时候非常活跃，并且彼此之间非常友好。
答案 B
2．Now the students are unwilling to get involved in the activities because they are________.
A．not easy to organize
B．costing too much time
C．difficult to comprehend
D．meaningless and boring
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句的内容可知，现在学生不愿参加各种活动的原因是这些活动既没有意义又枯燥乏味。
答案 D
3．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Students' passion for activities was high at first but weakened gradually.
B．Students' passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting. C．Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes.
D．Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders.
解析 推理判断题。第二段提到新生在第一学期开始的时候热衷于各种各样的活动，而现在已对这些活动毫无兴趣，由此可推断学生对活动的热情度起初很高，但是后来逐渐减弱了。
答案 A
4．We can infer from the passage that the writer must be________.
A．a supporter of activities
B．a responsible teacher
C．a top student in class
