　　(2016·安徽示范高中二次联考)

　　Are you the type of person who always says “yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say “no”．It’s okay.People are still going to like you.They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.

　　I’m not saying to say “no” to someone who really needs your help.I’m talking about turning down that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.

　　Think for a moment how you feel when you say “yes” to something that you really don’t want to do.If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much.It weighs on your mind.You try to find ways out.Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.

　　So，why not just say “no” from the beginning？Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting (by the way，it is not one you must attend)，your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you.Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them what they ask every occasion.

　　If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what.People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who

　　always says “yes”，then that’s what they’re expecting.

　　You need to do what is right for you.Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.

　　1．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with?

　　A．We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.

　　B．We should help others in need.

　　C．Always saying “yes” means you are dishonest.

　　D．Always saying “no” means you are brave.

　　2．Generally speaking，we agree to do what we hate to do because we________.

　　A．have a bad habit

　　B．have a kind heart

　　C．have much concern

　　D．have obligations

　　3．The writer believes that if you say “no” to your family members，you’ll________.

　　A．have the same relationship with them as before

　　B．have a loose relationship with them

　　C．disappoint them

　　D．upset them

　　4．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．Learn to Make a Right Choice

　　B．To Be Yourself

　　C．Do What You Want to Do

　　D．Learn to Say “No”

　　B

　　(2016·福建质量检测)

　　In the 1950s，a family who owned a farm near Beulah，Michigan kept a bull chained to an elm (榆树)．The bull paced around the tree，dragging the heavy iron chain，which led to a groove (槽) in the bark.The groove deepened over the years，though for whatever reason，it did not kill the tree.

　　After some years，the family took their bull away.They cut the chain，leaving the loop (圈) around the tree and one link hanging down.

　　Then one year，agricultural disaster struck Michigan in the form of Dutch Elm Disease.All of the elms lining the road leading to the farm became infected and died.Everyone thought that the old elm would be next.

　　The farm’s owners considered doing the safe thing：pulling it out and cutting it up into firewood before it died.But they simply could not bring themselves to do it.It was as if the old tree had become a family friend.So they decided to let_nature_take_its_course.

　　Amazingly，the tree did not die.Nobody could understand why it was the only elm that was still standing in the country!

　　Plant pathologists(病理学家) from Michigan State University came out to observe the tree.They observed the scar left by the iron chain，now almost completely covered by bark.The plant experts decided that it was the chain that saved the elm’s life.They reasoned that the tree must have absorbed so much iron from the chain that it became immune (免疫) to the fungus (真菌)．

　　It’s said that what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.Or，as Ernest Hemimgway put it，“Life breaks us all，but afterwards，many of us are strongest at the broken places.”

　　5．What happened to the elms in Michigan during the agricultural disaster?

　　A．The elms were tied by iron chains.

　　B．Some of the elms were cut up into firewood.

　　C．All the elms were infected by a disease and died.

　　D．Nearly all of the elms died of a disease.

　　6．From the passage we can learn that the old elm was saved by________.

　　A．the groove in the bark

　　B．the fungus in the tree

　　C．the iron remaining in it

　　D．its own immune system

　　7．The underlined sentence “let_nature_take_its_course” means______.

　　A．leave the elm at the mercy of nature

　　B．help the elm grow normally

　　C．let nature take the elm away

　　D．have nature give a lesson to the elm

　　8．What is the best title for the text?

　　A．Never Lose Heart in Trouble

　　B．Strike While the Iron is Hot

　　C．Brave to Face Failure

　　D．Stronger after Suffering

　　7．解析：　句意理解题。根据文章第四段可知，农场的主人曾想过要在这棵榆树死之前将其砍掉当柴火，但由于这么多年来这棵老榆树已经成为了他们的朋友，所以他们不忍心下手，并决定让这棵榆树顺其自然。因此，此处的let the nature take its course意为“听天由命；任由大自然的摆布”，即leave the elm at the mercy of the nature。

　　答案：　A

　　8．解析：　标题概括题。文章最后一段是全文的中心段，“what doesn’t kill you will make you stronger.”和“Life breaks us all，but afterwards，many of us are strongest at the broken places.”是全文的升华，作者以老榆树的故事告诉人们，生活中的磨难并不可怕，它会使我们更坚强。所以D项“Stronger after Suffering”最适合做文章的标题，故答案选D。

　　答案：　D
