One of the greatest stories of rags to riches success is that of Andrew Carnegie,who started life in Poverty but became the richest man in the world.
Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1837,the son of a weaver.In 1848,the.family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began work in a cotton mill,earning $1.5 per week.About three years later,he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy.At work,his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.In 1853, he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.This was his first big break.He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility.At the same time,Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library.He rend widely on all subjects,particularly literature.
Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments(投资).He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself,owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s,the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most successful business in the world.
Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit(追求)of wealth was never an end in itself.In his view,successful, wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.True to his word,in 1901,at the age of 66,he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.
Carnegie's lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didn't influence his success.His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard,his intelligence and good business sense, and his talent for making things happen.He died in 1919 at the age of 83.
4. What can be learnt from the text?
A. Carnegie was highly thought of by his employers.
B. Carnegie made his investments independently.
C. Carnegie believed that money was everything.

B. Being put to higher positions.
C. Having a better sense of confidence.
D. Reading more and more books.
6. How did Carnegie finally make a big fortune?.
A. His employer helped him.
B. He was much paid when working.
C. He set up his own business.
D. He saved money year by year.
7. Which of the followings will be the suitable title for the text?
A. Andrew Carnegie: A Wealthy Man
B. Steel & Iron: The Most Profitable Business
C. From Rags to Riches: The Story of Andrew Carnegie
D. Intelligence and Good Business Sense: Two Factors in Becoming Rich
【答案】4. A
5. B
6. C
7. C
【解析】这是一篇传记类文章,主要讲述了卡耐基从贫穷,通过自己的努力成为一个成功人士的故事。
4. 细节理解题,根据:“his superiors were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.”可知卡耐基被他的雇主高度评价,故A正确;根据“Carnegie now began to save a little money and,with the help of his employer,began to make some successful investments(投资)”可知:卡耐基是在雇主的帮助下投资成功,故B错;根据:“In his view,successful, wealthy people should give away their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.”可见卡耐基认为钱不是全部,富有成功的人应该为社会做贡献,故C错误;D选项无中生有,没有依据,故错误,故选A。
5. 细节理解题:“He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company,gaining more and more responsibility.”句意:他继续给公司留下深刻印象并迅速成长,获得越来越多的责任,由此可见:卡耐基应该是被放到更高的位置。故选B。
6. 细节理解题,根据“He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself,owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.”句意:他投资了钢铁行业,最终自己建立了自己的企业,拥有数家钢铁和钢铁工厂。这就是他发财的地方,故选C。
7. 主旨大意题,综合全文主要讲述了卡耐基从贫穷一步一步努力取得成功的故事,所以C选项:From Rags to Riches: The Story of Andrew Carnegie,从贫穷到富有,安德鲁卡耐基的故事,这个标题比较合适,故选C。

In Chinese we say,"Your handwriting says a lot about you."But in the eyes of South African photographer John Thackwray,someone's bedroom can do just the same thing.
Thackwray,30,first had the idea of taking pictures of people's bedrooms six years ago,because he was curious how young people born in the 1980s and 1990s lived their lives.And he started with his friends' in Paris.
Soon he decided to take this project a little further.Over the past six years,Thackwray has traveled to 55 countries and taken pictures of 1,200 bedrooms—from New York,one of the world's busiest and most developed cities,to Russia,Thailand,Iran and the poor neighborhoods in Nairobi,and cast African countries.
From the layout of the rooms and the little items in them,you can not only see how different people's lifestyles and personalities are,but also get an insight into how unequal the world is and how traditions are replaced by new technology.
Now Thackwray has put all his photos into a book named My Room Project.Each photo in the book comes with the name,age and job of its owner,and they are arranged in the order of his travels.But Thackwray got a lot more from the project than the chance to publish a book.He also saw a lot of things,met a lot of people and had many great experiences.
"I was impressed by the spirituality in India,the friendliness of the Russian people and the craziness of the Japanese lifestyle,"Thackwray told The Huffington Post.

Our environment isn't as green and beautiful as it should be.There are steel monsters blocking out the sun. blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers,cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet.Facing current environmental problems,people need to do their best to save the earth.
You cart see many big garbage dustbins in the streets.They're not there for a show,but for you to drop your waste.We should realize that what we do does count.So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window,or "accidentally" drop as you walk down the street,ask yourself how much waste you've been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home,the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps are not leaky(漏的),which would help greatly in scrimping.Another is to use energy-saving lights,and turn them off before you leave the rooms.It is not only energy-saving,but also cuts down electricity costs.
Recycling is a method to make items reusable.Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process.Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind,we can do what we can,for the results are to have a big effect on the planet.As long as we do our part,the world is one small step closer to being saved.
12. In the first paragraph the author uses "steel monsters" to refer to
.
A. big factories
B. high mountains
C. huge buildings
D. characters in fairy stories
13. From the fifth paragraph,we can know that
.
A. wonderful life comes from environmental protection
B. protecting the environment should start from childhood
C. protecting the environment begins with small little things
D. protecting the environment benefits the country and the people
14. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. To protect the environment may help you save some money.
B. Your bad habits for the environment are a harmful contribution.
C. The more people do their part,the greener the environment will be.
D. Selling what you don't want any more is not a kind of recycling.
15. The passage is mainly about
.
A. the use of garbage dustbins
B. how to save the environment
C. our present environmental problems
D. how to save water and electricity
【答案】12. A
13. B
14. D
15. B
【解析】文章大意,本文主要讲述了现在环境污染很严重,我们需要尽自己所能来保护环境,而且作者详细的介绍了集中保护环境,节约能源的方法。
12. 词义猜测题,根据:“There are steel monsters blocking out the sun. blowing out dangerous smoke,and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers”句意:有钢铁怪兽挡住了太阳。吹出危险的烟雾,将有毒的化学物质释放到河里A. big factories 大工厂;
B. high mountains高山;C. huge buildings巨大的建筑;
D. characters in fairy stories通话故事中的人,故选A。
13. 段落大意题,根据:“Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids.Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives,in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.”大意:传递一个简单的方法来将环境保存到孩子身上。从孩子们开始,在他们的生活中早早地教授信息是一种很好的方式,希望他们能随着年龄的增长而向前推进。由此可见:保护环境应该从童年开始,故选B。
14. 细节理解题,根据:“Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process”句意:许多你想要扔掉的东西可以通过重新生产过程被制成新产品,而D选项:Selling what you don't want any more is not a kind of recycling.销售你不想要的东西不是一种回收,所以D选项错误,故选D。

Almost all of us heard the story "Here Comes the Wolf" when we are little kids.What we can learn from the story is we must be honest.Therefore, there're lots of case of dishonesty nowadays.
Being honest does great harm to other people or to yourself.Take the case of fake milk powder for an example. After drink this kind of milk,the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin,what badly affected their health.To my great relief,the producers got punishing so that more serious consequences could be avoided.
【答案】1.are 改为were
2.is后加that
3.Therefore改为However
4.case改为cases
5.honest改为dishonest
6.or改为and
7.去掉an
8.drink改为drinking
9.what改为which
10.punishing改为punished
【解析】【1】……when we are little kids.当我们是小孩子的时候,根据句意可判断应该是一般过去时,故应把are 改为were 。
【2】What we can learn from the story is we must be honest.that做连词引导表语从句的时候,that不可以省略,故应在is后加that。
【3】Therefore, there're lots of case of dishonesty nowadays.上一句话:“What we can learn from the story is we must be honest”从这个故事我们认识到我们必须诚实,与此句话:现如今存在很多不诚实的现象,形成转折,故应把Therefore改为However 。
【4】there're lots of case of dishonesty nowadays.case意为:情况,为可数名词,故应把case改为cases。
【5】Being honest does great harm to other people or to yourself,根据常识:应该是不诚实对别人和自己都有害,故应把honest改成dishonest。
【6】……does great harm to other people or to yourself,or意为:或者,含有选择的意思,常用在否定句中,而此句话other people和 yourself是并列的,故应把or改为and。
【7】Take the case of fake milk powder for an example.,固定搭配take……for example意为:拿……举例,故应去掉an 。
【8】 After drink this kind of milk,……介词after后应加动词ing形式,故应把drink改为drinking。
【9】the babies had big heads while their legs and arms were still thin,what badly affected their health,which可用来引导限制性定语从句,what不能用于状语从句和定语从句,故应把what改为which。
【10】the producers got punishing so that more serious consequences could be avoided.固定搭配get+过去分词是一种被动形式,故应把punishing改为punished。
【名师点睛】短文改错是一项主要测试考生的判断能力,观察能力、纠错能力语言基础知识及语言的综合运用能力。例如第第2题,what we can learn from the story is we must be honest.考察学生对that引导表语从句时的用法,表语从句就是用一个句子作为表语。说明 主语是什么或者怎么样,由名词、形容词或相当于名词或形容词的词或短语充当表语 ,连接词that一般不能省略,但当主句中含动词do的某种形式时,that可以省略.分析句子成分可知is后面的that不可以省略,故应把is后加that。
