　　Passage 2

　　限时：7分钟

　　体裁：议论文　题材：社会生活类　难度：易词数：319

　　[2016·冀州中学月考]It's an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My wife says no because we have no savings to save us. I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday. The joy of a recession (不景气) means no argument next year—we just won't go.

　　Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov survey of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples.

　　Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for，” he explains. “They'll say it's to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they've achieved something.

　　“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other know what's going on with their finances, but they don't. There seems to be more of a taboo (禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you're doing, who's paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”

　　文章通过度假的问题引入话题，男人和女人对钱的看法是不一样的，夫妻应该就钱的问题多进行讨论，这样可以建立健康的关系。

　　★1.What does the author say about going on holiday in Paragraph 1?

　　A．It will cost them too much money.

　　B．Few people can afford it without working hard.

　　C．It makes all the hard work worthwhile.

　　D．It is the chief cause of family quarrels.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句“I say you only live once and we work hard and what's the point if you can't go on holiday.”可知，我们的努力工作是值得去度假的，故选C。]

　　★2.According to the text, what does Kim Stephenson believe?

　　A．Money is often a symbol of a person's status.

　　B．Money means a great deal to both men and women.

　　C．Men and women spend money on different things.

　　D．Men and women view money in different ways.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据文章第三段前两句“Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money may be different things to men and women.‘People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it's for，’ he explains.”可知，Kim Stephenson认为男人和女人对钱的看法是不一样的，故选D。根据第三段最后一句“He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status...”可知，男人更有可能把钱看作是地位的象征，故A项错误；B、C两项在文章中没有提到。]

　　★3.The author suggests that couples should________.

　　A．put their money together instead of keeping it separately

　　B．discuss money matters to maintain a healthy relationship

　　C．make efforts to reach agreement on their family budgets

　　D．avoid arguing about money matters to remain romantic

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句“In a healthy relationship, you don't have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.”可知，作者认为夫妻应该就钱的问题多讨论，这样可以建立健康的关系，故选B。]

　　体裁：夹叙夹议文　题材：人生哲理类　难度：中词数：291

　　[2016·武邑中学周测]I've often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.

　　My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.

　　The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work.Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.

　　From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.

　　Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not

　　altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life­changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.

　　作者到冰岛为新书拍一些照片，但遇到了很多的困难。作者觉得这次的人生经历是人们需要数年的心理治疗后才能达到的状态。这次经历之后，作者对人生的态度改变了，而且他觉得艰难困苦的经历会激励人们，改变人们，使人们对生活充满信心。

　　★1.The writer went to Iceland to________.

　　A．enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs

　　B．take photos about the region for a book

　　C．collect materials for psychological research

　　D．challenge the high mountains there

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of...”可知选B。]

　　★2.During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that________.

　　A．they got lost in the mountain

　　B．they were short of food and fuel

　　C．they couldn't see the surroundings clearly

　　D．they failed to get in touch with the rescue team

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据第三段的描写可知他们除了没有迷路之外其他的困难都经历到了。]

　　3．From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers________.

　　A．were in despair before they were rescued

　　B．stayed in the hut for three days altogether

　　C．got sick because of going for ski outside

　　D．got rescued immediately the weather turned fine

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据第三段的困难描写及最后一句“By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.”可知选A。be in despair意为“绝望”。]

　　★4.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A．The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.

　　B．In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.

　　C．The travelers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.

　　D．Awful journeys may become life­changing events that inspire people.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In fact, it appears that the most constructive life­changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events...”可知选D。]

　　BLOOD DRIVE & MARROW (骨髓) REGISTRATION

　　“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the

　　kindness of strangers to make that happen.”－Daisy, Isabelle's

　　Mother

　　Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed (诊断) with

　　a genetic

　　blood

　　disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle's

　　body

　　unable

　　to

　　produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions

　　(输血) every 4－6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical

　　problems. Her only chance

　　at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so

　　doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of

　　life, the gift of blood.

　　[2016·枣强中学猜题]Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human－animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal－assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that,_especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”

　　In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.

　　Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.

　　“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice，” says a seventy­year­old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down.

　　He has a mind of his own.”

　　The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.

　　“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry，” Beck says. “But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters' blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”

　　现在的老人很孤独，为了解决这个问题，研究人员研制出了机器狗，把机器狗放在老人家里，和老人一起生活，从而提高老人的生活质量。

　　★1.What did Beck think of robotic dogs at first?

　　A．People can't be able to understand them.

　　B．People will like them to be covered with fur.

　　C．People won't accept them as pets.

　　D．People will make them out of metal.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry”可知，开始的时候，Beck认为机器狗都是金属制成的并且没有毛发，所以人们不会理解和懂得它们。故选A。]

　　2．What does the underlined word “that” refer to?

　　A．Curing old people's depression.

　　B．Making older people active.

　　C．Getting robotic dogs for the old.

　　D．Placing robotic dogs in the homes.

　　答案　B　[指代判断题。根据画线词前面的“‘No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active，’ Edwards points out.”可知，此处的“that”指代前面提到的“促使老人们更加积极活跃一些”。故选B。]

　　★3.What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?

　　A．It can watch TV with its owner.

　　B．It can help the disabled people.

　　C．It responds to all the human orders.

　　D．It is easier to keep at home.

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.”可知，机器狗不用锻炼，也不用主人在喂食上花心思，所以很好养。故选D。]

　　★4.The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may________.

　　A．keep old people active

　　B．cure certain diseases

　　C．change people's beliefs

　　D．look more like real dogs

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper... AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's mind.”可知，机器狗可以成为老人在健康方面有用的助手，使老人在身体、心理上都变得活跃。故选A。]

　　[2016·武邑中学期中]

　　Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)

　　Millions of Americans began 2017 with the same resolution they

　　started

　　2017

　　with, a goal

　　of losing weight. However, setting weight loss

　　as a goal is a mistake.

　　To reach our goal of losing weight—the output, we need to control what we eat—the input

　　(输入). That is, we tend to care about the

　　output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construct

　　goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead

　　of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution：“I'll stop having dessert for lunch，”

　　or “I'll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well­specified input will likely be more

　　effective than concentrating on the outcome.

　　Recently a new science behind incentives (激励), including in

　　education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer

　　wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in

　　school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input,

　　like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based

　　on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives

　　increased achievement when based on input but had no effect when

　　based on output. Fryer's conclusion was that the incentives for inputs

　　might be more effective because students do not know how to do

　　better on an exam, aside from general rules like “study harder”. Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well­set task over

　　which they have much more control.

　　As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a

　　much higher chance of success. And it's easier to start again if you

　　fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.

　　If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be

　　making morning coffee at home instead of going to a café，

　　for

　　example. This is a well­specified action­based goal for which you can

　　measure your success easily. Spending less money isn't a goal because

　　it's too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your

　　family, don't stop with this general wish. Think about an actionable

　　habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night

　　every Wednesday.

　　In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.

　　作者认为“减肥”不是一个很有效的目标，并具体解释了设立什么样的目标更加有效。

　　★1.The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because________.

　　A．it is hard to achieve for most Americans

　　B．it is focused too much on the result

　　C．it is dependent on too many things

　　D．it is based on actionable decisions

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“To reach our goal of losing

　　weight—the output, we need to control what we eat—the input. That is, we

　　tend to care about the output but not to control the input.”可知将减肥设定为目标过于注重输出，输出output相当于结果result，故选择B项。]

　　★2.In Roland Fryer's research, some students did better than the others because________.

　　A．they obeyed all the general rules

　　B．they paid more attention to exams

　　C．they were motivated by their classmates

　　D．they were rewarded for reading some books

　　答案　D　[细节理解题。通读第三段的相关内容特别是最后一句可知本题应选择D项。]

　　★3.According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?

　　A．“I'll give up dessert.”

　　B．“I'll study harder.”

　　C．“I'll cut down my expenses.”

　　D．“I'll spend more time with my family.”

　　答案　A　[推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Creating a goal that

　　focuses on a well­specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.”可知设立目标应具体化，不能过于关注结果。四个选项中A项“我要放弃甜食”很具体，是一个很好的目标；B项“我要更努力地学习”，C项“我要削减开支”和D项“我要花更多的时间陪家人”都很笼统，不容易实施，故选择A项。]

　　4．The writer strongly believes that we should ________.

　　A．develop good habits and focus on the outcome

　　B．be optimistic about final goals and stick to them

　　C．pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits

　　D．set ambitious goals that can balance the input and output

　　答案　C　[推理判断题。作者在文章的倒数第二段举例说明了设立目标应挑选具体的行动，最后一段又再次强调“In the long run，these new goals could become a habit.”长远来看，这些新的目标(具体的行动)能成为一种习惯。因此本题选择C项。]

　　体裁：记叙文　题材：人物故事类　难度：中词数：348

　　[2016·衡水中学期末]As a substitute teacher,

　　my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I'm usually unable to anticipate (预料) the day's events, good or bad!

　　On one particular day, I was teaching in a very difficult class. I was managing behavior all the morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon. So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.

　　Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5－minute drive away.

　　I contemplated (考虑)

　　rushing back,

　　but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.

　　So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab. I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he empathized. He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point.

　　The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not been able to request the cab yet. My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear.

　　Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell!

　　Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly. His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth. This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire (发生),

　　which can have an unimaginable impact (影响) on those who receive them.

　　文章主要介绍了作者在广场上喝咖啡后发现车钥匙和手机都被锁在了车里，他在麦当劳向经理寻求帮助，并最终在这位经理的帮助下及时赶回学校的故事。

　　★1.Why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?

　　A．Because he was very thirsty at that time.

　　B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffee.

　　C．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.

　　D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon.

　　答案　C　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.”可知，作者需要咖啡使自己下午上课有精神。]

　　★2.The author ________so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys and phone were locked inside the car.

　　A．was too tired to walk further

　　B．was afraid of falling down on ice

　　C．asked the manager to call him a cab

　　D．decided to take a school bus

　　答案　B　[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I contemplated (考虑) rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.”可知，作者担心徒步跑回学校就有可能会跌倒在有冰的路上，因此就放弃了那种想法，所以选B。]

　　3．The author has probably stayed in the McDonald's for ________.

　　A．15 minutes

　　B．8－9 minutes

　　C．4－5 minutes

　　D．2 minutes

　　答案　B　[数字计算题。根据第二段中的“I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5minute drive away.”和第五段中的“I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell！”可知，作者所在的地方开车回学校需四五分钟，而回学校后离上课时间还有两分钟，因此选B。]

　　★4.What kind of person is the manager?

　　A．Kind­hearted.

　　B．Faithful.

　　C．Gentle.

　　D．Dependable.

　　答案　A　[细节理解题。根据全文的内容以及文章最后一段中的“His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for”可知，这个经理心地善良。]
