阅读下列列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、CD)中,选出最佳选项。 A
Dear Mr. King,
Your grocery store is outstanding in many ways. I enjoy the selection of produce and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time Supermart shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to Supermart, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.
Specifically, I have never been able to purchase nacho cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers, while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,
Bob Watson
1. According to Bob, the grocery store ________.
A. meets all his needs B. is outstanding in every way
C. offers good customer service D. lacks convenient transportation
2. How does the author present his point in Paragraph 2?
A. By giving examples. B. By analyzing the figures.
C. By providing scientific findings. D. By comparing two different stores.
3. From the letter, we can learn that the author is ________.
A. a very picky reporter B. a competitor of the store
C. a responsible nutritionist D. a regular customer of the store
B
Your peers are people of your age or close to it who have experiences and interests similar to yours. You and your friends make dozens of decisions every day, and you influence each other’s choices and behavior. This is often ________ --- it’s human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.
Sometimes, though, the stresses in your life can actually come from your peers. They may pressure you into doing something you’re uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.
The pressure to conform(随潮流) can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do something that is relatively harmless--- or something that has more serious consequences.
People may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. When people are unsure of what to do in a social situation, they naturally look to others for cues(暗示)about what is and isn’t acceptable.
The people who are most easily influenced will follow someone else’s lead first. Then others may go along, too --- so it can be easy to think, “It must be OK. Everyone else is doing it. They must know what they’re doing. Before you know it, many people are going along with the crowd --- perhaps on something they might not otherwise do.
Responding to peer pressure is part of human nature --- but some people are more likely to give in, and others are better able to resist and stand their ground.
It’s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure. But when you do, it is easy to feel good about it afterwards. And you may even be a positive influence on your peers who feel the same way --- often it just takes one person to speak out or take a different action to change a situation.
1.Which is most likely to be filled in the blank in Paragraph 1?
A. negative B. impossible C. positive D. uncertain
2. Most people tend to do what others are doing in order to _________.
A. feel a sense of achievement B. get a feeling of being accepted
C. set a good example for others D. stand out in a crowd
3. What can we know according to the author?
A. Giving in to peer pressure is unavoidable.
B. Peer pressure usually leads to serious results.
C. Going along with the crowd usually means making a right choice.
D. Everyone can make a difference by resisting negative peer pressure.
4. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. thoughts on peer pressure B. different types of peer pressure
C. ways to deal with peer pressure D. the influence of peer pressure on people
C
I feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image.
In a lot of women’s eyes I’ve probably already failed in that respect due to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) Vera’s room. But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.
But I get it too. It’s hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image. I have girlfriends around whom I have to brace myself to see, because just being around them makes me self-conscious. I look at old pictures of my mother and wonder why I’ve never been able to be as skinny as she was. And then I have friends who are thinner than their mothers ever were. We women go round and round in circles, holding hands and trying to be one another sometimes. Men like to think we dress and style ourselves for them, but why would we when they hardly notice? I’ve never tried so hard to look good when I know I’m about to meet up with a stylish girlfriend. It’s she who will notice my slimmed-down waist or the thinnest, little bracelet on my arm.
And I have no doubt that the two of you, Veronica and Juliette, will endlessly compare yourselves to each other. You will wonder why one of you got longer legs or shinier hair. The thing I’ll tell you is this: not even the prettiest of us feel settled. The girl you think looks the most perfect in the world is probably the girl who wants to change herself more than anyone else.
Don’t take these on. You are not worthless. You are so full of love and light and you should let it shine through your every second. If someone pushes you down for standing tall then just push yourself back up and stand even taller. And know that the reason they push you down in the first place is just because they’re scared.
【小题1】From the second paragraph, we can infer that the author _____.
A. regrets buying so much Barbie stuff for her daughters
B. thinks loving Barbie makes her not confident about her self-image
C. owes her beauty and success to playing with Barbie
D. thinks playing with Barbie caused no damage to her beauty and success
【小题2】 In the third paragraph, the author intends to show that _____.
A. women tend to be proud of their beautiful friends
B. she cares much about her appearance
C. she feels proud of her mother’s beauty
D. women tend to admire others and compare with each other
【小题3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The author is disappointed that few men take notice of her slim figure.
B. The author cares more about looking good before her girlfriends.
C. Girls should constantly compare themselves with others to improve their beauty.
D. Only the prettiest girl can feel confident about her beauty.
【小题4】 The author advises her daughters that _____.
A. they should be cautious not to be pushed down by others
B. they should care much about their strong points instead of appearances
C. they should try to grow taller than others
D. they should care more about others’ opinions
D
Have you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, there's a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular position. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the job’s pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;
1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?
There are isolating jobs that will drive an outgoing person crazy and also interactive jobs that will make a shy person uneasy. Most people are not extremes in either direction but do have a tendency that they prefer. There are also positions that are sometimes a combination of the two, which may be best for someone in the middle who adapts easily to either situation.
2) How do you handle change?
Most jobs these days have some elements of change to them, but some are more than others. If you need stability in your life, you may need a job where the changes don’t happen so often. Other people would be bored of the same daily routine.
3) Do you enjoy working with computers?
I do see this as a kind of personality characteristic. There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who need a lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and you'll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.
4) What type of work environment do you enjoy?
This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you won’t know immediately to a smaller setting where you'll get to know almost all the people there fairly quickly.
5) How do you like to get paid?
Some people are motivated by the pay they get, while others feel too stressed to be like that. The variety of payment designs in the sales industry is a typical example for this.
Anyway, these are a great starting point for you. I've seen it over and over again with people that they make more money over time when they do something they love. It may take you a little longer, but making a move to do what you have a passion for can change the course of your life for the better.
1.What is unnecessary in your job hunting?
A.Assessing your skills
B.Taking your personality into consideration
C.Matching your skills with a position
D.Going to different areas
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Isolating usually drive people mad.
B. Interactive jobs make people shy easily.
C. Extreme people tend to work with others.
D. Almost everyone has a tendency in jobs.
3.The underlined word “stability in the passage most probably means?
A. no anger. B. no movement.
C. gentleness. D. enthusiasm.
4. What could be the best title for this passage?
A. Lifestyles and Job Pay
B. Personalities and Jobs
C. Job Skills and Abilities
D. Jobs and Environment

Nowadays,iPads are very popular in our school.Many students hold the view that possessing an iPad is a fashion.There is no doubt that with it we can listen to music,download learning materials,and so on.In other words,it's helpful to our studies,especially our English learning.
However,each coin has two sides.Some students bring their iPads to the classroom and listen to music,which ruins our learning atmosphere.What's worse,some even waste their precious time playing games.
In my opinion,school is a place where we should focus our attention on lessons,so iPads should be banned in classroom.I hope you will take my suggestions into consideration.
I am looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li_Hua
