　　I went to the Tsavo National Park in northern Kenya for a film. We set off early for a distant water hole. A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water. He wasn’t going to hurry now. He’d drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead.

　　We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephant’s body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (胺)－the result of the elephant’s meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before.

　　Today's poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant. If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies. Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once－it doesn't mean the poison won't finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.

　　Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time. When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground. I took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefit－but I couldn't escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.

　　21.While filming near the water hole, the author and his team ________.

　　A. knew the elephant was injured

　　B. found the elephant acted violently

　　C. tried their best to save the elephant

　　D. thought the elephant was in good condition

　　22.Further examination showed that the dead elephant________.

　　A. had suffered an hour or two

　　B. was killed by a poisonous needle

　　C. had suffered a lot

　　D. had had a good fight with a poacher

　　23.How does the author feel when thinking about the elephant s death?

　　A. empty.

　　B. comfortable.

　　C. upset.

　　D. relieved.

　　24. Why did the author write the text?

　　A. To introduce African elephant.

　　B. To show the cruelty of poaching.

　　C. To describe his filming experience.

　　D. To ask readers to protect wild animals.

　　Of course, she wasn’t really my aunt and, out of fear, I never called her that to her face. I only referred to her as “My Aunt Fannie” because the name always made my father laugh quietly and gave my mother cause to look strictly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful of my elder and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior. I enjoyed both reactions so I looked for every opportunity to work the name into as many conversations as possible.

　　As a young woman, my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farmhouse. During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam (蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield. She was well-known for her jam and for never sharing the recipe with others. Even though my mother knew the recipe by heart, as long as Aunt Fannie was alive, she never made the jam without Aunt Fannie in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.

　　Each August, my mother would prepare me for Aunt Fannie’s visit. One year, after I had helped with the jam process Aunt Fannie gave me a coin and then made me promise that I would never spend it. “Hold onto this coin,” she said, “and someday you will be rich. I still have my very first coin, given to me by my grandmother.” So I kept the coin in a small box and waited to become rich.

　　I now have the blueberry jam recipe and the coin from Aunt Fannie. In people’s eyes Aunt Fannie's success resulted from that secret recipe. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Neither have significantly made me become a rich person, but I keep them as reminders to hold onto the valuable things in life. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy. And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

　　24. Why did the author always use the name “My Aunt Fannie” in conversations?

　　A. She was frightened of Aunt Fannie.

　　B. She liked Aunt Fannie’s recipe.

　　C. She enjoyed her parents’ reactions.

　　D. She greatly respected “Aunt Fannie”.

　　25. The underlined word “she” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.

　　A. Aunt Fannie

　　B. the author’s grandmother

　　C. the author’s mother

　　D. Aunt Fannie’s grandmother

　　26.

　　In the last paragraph, the author encourages readers to______.

　　A. hold onto the first coin in life

　　B. make as many friends as possible

　　C. make money with their own hands

　　D. spend more time with family and friends

　　27. What could be the best title for this passage?

　　A. The Key to Success

　　B. Blueberry Jam Recipe

　　C. A Fortune Built from a Coin

　　D. A Relationship of Trust

　　【答案】

　　24C

　　25A

　　26D

　　27B

　　【解析】

　　25. A 词义猜测题。本题属于词义猜测题中的代词指代，根据前句During those years my mother helped Aunt Fanny make the best blueberry jam (蓝莓酱) ever tasted by anyone in Glenfield.可知Aunt Fanny的蓝莓酱做得非常好，她正是因此而很有名。所以本句中的she就是指：Aunt Fannie。故A正确。

　　26. D 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二句Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the relationships and the memories of time spent with friends and family that truly leave you wealthy.可知认为金钱只可以暂时让人感觉富有，唯有和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆才会让我们变的真正富有。说明作者建议我们多花时间和家人在一起。故D正确。

　　27. B 标题概括题。本文通过介绍Aunt Fanny因为她做的蓝莓酱而非常出名，她的秘密在于蓝莓酱的处方。这个处方不是别的，而是人生的感悟，真正让我们幸福的是和他人的关系以及和朋友家人们一起度过的那些日子的美好回忆。所以B项正确。

　　4.The story of Juno and Lucas is one of the most touching stories about the amazing relationship between humans and their companion animals.

　　Juno is a Belgian Malinois（比利时马犬）. The dog was beautiful but was given up by its owners, as they did not want to take on the responsibility.

　　Lucas, a little boy, had a strange illness, a condition that stops the body’s ability to process enzymes(酶).As his life continues, he will lose the ability to speak and his physical and mental abilities will degrade till he is left in a vegetative（植物人的）state. The average life expectancy for the patients is 15 years.

　　Chester, the boy’s father, wanted his child to enjoy his life on earth as much as possible and looked into getting a service dog for the child. However, Lucas wasn’t a good candidate due to his deteriorating（恶化的）abilities, not to mention the $15,000 cost of the animal.

　　Not terrified by all of this, Chester looked into adopting a dog for his son. He found Juno on a website and drove two hours to meet her. Chester had worked with the breed(品种) in the police force and was familiar with how to train them. He put in patience and hard work, and trained Juno while allowing her to become accustomed to Lucas. Now, not only will Juno not leave Lucas’ side, she is also helping with his illness. Chester said, “She has the ability to notice his neurological changes. Now she reminds us when Lucas is about to have a seizure(疾病发作) or if his oxygen levels drop really low. She has saved him several times.”

　　Companion animals are beautiful things and they establish a bond that can’t be described without experiences. I know that I held my adopted dog a little closer after hearing this story. There are a lot of dogs out there that need good homes and that won’t be as lucky as Juno. So, if you think you’re prepared, you should consider giving one a nice home.

　　24.Chester wanted to find a service dog to __________.

　　A. protect Lucas from being injured

　　B. help the boy recover from the disease

　　C. accompany Lucas to enjoy his time left

　　D. show their love for the beautiful dog

　　25.Chester got the dog Juno by ____________.

Now, not only will Juno not leave Lucas’ side, she is also helping with his illness.可知B正确；根据第五段“She has the ability to notice his neurological changes. Now she reminds us when Lucas is about to have a seizure(疾病发作) or if his oxygen levels drop really low. She has saved him several times.”可知C正确；根据due to his deteriorating（恶化的）abilities和She has saved him several times.可知D错误。故选D.

　　2.B主旨大意题。文章讲述了一条狗忠诚地陪在生病的小主人身边的故事。主人的收留给了狗一个家，狗又成了小主人的伙伴。B项非常恰当的概括了全文，又前后并列适合作为标题，故选B.

　　5.Career success could be predicted as early as kindergarten, according to a 20-year study recently published in the American Journal of Public Health.

　　Researchers from Pennsylvania State University and Duke University tracked more than 700 children from across the US between kindergarten and age 25 and found a significant correlation（相关性）between their social skills as kindergartners and their success as adults two decades later.

　　In 1991, teachers assessed how the kindergartners interacted(互动) with each other socially using a range of criteria like whether they cooperate with their peers without prompting（激励）, if they're helpful to others, whether they're good at understanding feelings, and if they can solve problems on their own.

　　Researchers then kept track of whether the students went on to graduate high school on time, get a college degree, and find and keep a full-time job by 25. They also monitored the participants' involvement with crime, drug abuse, public assistance, and mental health issues.

　　The results showed that socially competent（有能力的）children were far more likely to earn a college degree and have a full-time job by 25 than those with limited social skills. Those with limited social skills also had a higher chance of getting arrested, binge（放纵）drinking, and applying for public housing.

　　“This study shows that helping children develop social and emotional skills is one of the most important things we can do to prepare them for a healthy future," said Kristin Schubert, program director at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which funded the research, in a release.

　　“From an early age, these skills can determine whether a child goes to college or prison, and whether they end up employed or addicted." The good news, according to Damon Jones, lead author of the study, is that intervention（干预）at a young age can help improve social and emotional skills. “This research by itself doesn't prove that higher social competence can lead to better outcomes later on," he said. “But when combined with other research, it is clear that helping children develop these skills increases their chances of success in school, work, and life."

　　28.What has the 20-year study found?

　　A. Most kindergartners can solve problems alone.

　　B. Helpful children understand other's feeling better.

　　C. Outgoing children cooperate with their peers easily.

　　D. Social skills play a key role in children's development.

　　29.Paragraph 3 and 4 are mainly about?

　　A. when the researchers began their study

　　B. how long it took to complete the study

　　C. how the researchers conducted the study

　　D. what factors were studied by the experts

　　30.What should parents do to help their children to succeed according to Kristin Schubert?

　　A. Teach them how to cooperate with others.

　　B．Teach them some basic living skills.

　　C．Tell them to keep off alcohol

　　D. Coach them in their lessons.

　　31.The text makes very good sense to ____________.

　　A. teenagers

　　B. educators

　　C. doctors

　　D. general readers

　　7.Does happiness have a scent?

　　When someone is happy, can you smell it?

　　You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile, hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug. But can you also smell their happiness? Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent, and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell, reports Phys.org.

　　For the study, 12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them. All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.

　　Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell, while researchers monitored their reactions. Only women were selected to smell the samples, apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling—though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents.

　　Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents—particularly their facial expressions—indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them.

　　“Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell,” said study co-author Gun Semin, a professor at Koc University in Turkey.

　　This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent, but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others. The study also found that other emotions, such as fear, seem to carry a scent too. This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell, but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings.

　　Researchers have yet to isolate(分离) exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is, but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be. Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety.

　　Perhaps the most surprising result of the study, however, is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated, and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us.

　　5. What is the main finding of the new research?

　　A. Pleasant feelings can be smelt out.

　　B. Negative emotions have a smell.

　　C. Men produce more sweats.

　　D. Women have a better sense of smell.

　　6. The underlined part “abstain from” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.

　　A. continue

　　B. practice

　　C. avoid

　　D. try

　　7. What is the application value of the new research?

　　A. Perfumes could help people understand each other.

　　B. Some smells could be created to improve our appearance.

　　C. Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases.

　　D. Some smells could be developed to better our mood.

　　8. We can learn from the last paragraph that

　　A. happiness comes from a scent of sweat

　　B. social surroundings can influence our emotions

　　C. people need more emotional communication

　　positive energy can deepen understanding

　　【答案】

　　【解析】

　　6. C 词义猜测题。这项研究的目的就是为了证明幸福能不能产生香味，所以参加研究的人是不能受到别的味道的影响的，以免影响研究的准确性。本句All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers, and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period.

　　所有的男性都很健康，没有吸毒或者抽烟的人，他们都被要求在研究期间避免吃喝有味道的东西。所以本句中的“abstain from”意为“avoid”故C正确。

　　7. D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后两句Happiness perfumes, for instance, could be invented. Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety. 可知这项研究结果可以让生产出幸福香水，香味疗法可以帮助人们度过压抑和焦虑的情绪。也就是说一些味道可以让我们的情绪更好。故D正确。

　　You’re probably aware of the basic trends. The financial rewards to education have increased over the past few decades, but men fail to benefit.

　　In elementary and high school, male academic performance is lagging. Boys earn three-quarters of the D’s and F’s. By college, men are clearly behind. Only 40 percent of bachelor’s degree go to men, along with 40 percent of master’s degree.

　　Thanks to their lower skills, men are dropping out of the labor force. In 1954, 96 percent of the American men between the ages of 25 and 54 worked. Today, that number is down to 80 percent. In Friday's jobs report, male labor force participation reached an all-time low.

　　Millions of men are collecting disability benefits. Even many of those who do have a job are doing poorly. According to Michael Greenstone of the Hamilton Project, annual earnings for average prime-age males have dropped by 28 percent over the past 40 years.

　　Men still dominate (主宰) the top of the corporate ladder because many women take time off to raise children, but women lead or are gaining nearly everywhere else. Women in their 20s outearn men in their 20s. Twelve out of the 15 fastest-growing professions are dominated by women.

　　Over the years, many of us have employed a certain theory to explain men's economic decline. It is that the information-age economy rewards qualities that women are more likely to possess.

　　To succeed today, you have to be able to sit still and focus attention in school at an early age. You have to be emotionally sensitive and aware of context. You have to communicate smoothly. For genetic and cultural reasons, many men are not good at these.

　　But, in her fascinating new book, The End of Men, Hanna Rosin suggests a different theory. It has to do with adaptability. Women, Rosin argues, are like immigrants (移民) who have moved to a new country. They see a new social context, and they flexibly adapt to new circumstances. Men are like immigrants who have physically moved to a new country but who have kept their minds in the old one. They speak the old language. They follow the old customs. Men are more likely to be rigid; women are more fluid.

　　This theory has less to do with born qualities and more to do with social position. When there’s big social change, the people who were on the top of the old order are bound to stick to the old ways. The people who were on the bottom are bound to experience a burst of energy. They are going to explore their new surroundings more enthusiastically.

　　Rosin reports from working-class Alabama. The women she meets are flooding into new jobs and new opportunities — going back to college, pursuing new careers. The men are waiting around for the jobs left and are never coming back. They are strangely immune (免疫的）to new options. In the Auburn-Opelika region, the average female income is 140 percent of the average male income.

　　Rosin is not saying that women are winners in a global gender (性别) war or that they are doing super simply because men are doing worse. She's just saying women are adapting to today’s economy more flexibly than men. There’s a lot of evidence to support her case.

　　A study by the National Federation of Independent Business found that small businesses owned by women outperformed male-owned small business during the last recession (衰退). In finance, women who switch firms are more likely to see their performance improve, whereas men are likely to see theirs decline. There's even evidence that women are better able to adjust to divorce. Today, more women than men see their incomes rise by 25 percent after a marital breakup.

　　Forty years ago, men and women stuck to certain theory, what it meant to be a man or a woman. Young women today, Rosin argues, have abandoned both feminist (女权主义者）and prefeminist preconceptions. Men still stick to the masculinity (大男子主义的）rules, which limit their vision and their movement.

　　If she's right, then men will have to acknowledge that they are strangers in a strange land.

　　29.Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A. Male labor force participation has declined by 80% since 1954.

　　B. More men than women take time off to raise children now.

　　C. Good communication is one of the qualities that women possess.

　　D. Men are still taking most top and fastest-growing professions.

　　30.In Hanna Rosin’s opinion, male performance is falling behind because _______.

　　A. men are less likely to sit still and focus in school at early age

　　B. men are more rigid and less able to adapt to new circumstances

　　C. women are doing better for genetic and cultural reasons

　　D. it is more and more difficult for men to get bachelor’s degree

　　31.What is the passage intended to convey?

　　A. The differences between men and women.

　　B. The reasons why men do no better than women.

　　C. The social status of men and women.

　　D. The reasons why men fail compared with women.

　　10.Some people are like homing pigeons: Drop them off anywhere, and they’ll find their way around. Other people, though, can’t tell when they’re holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners?

　　Not all of your navigational (导航的)skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons—head-direction cells, place cells, and grid cells (网格细胞)—and they help program your inside compass when you’re just a baby.

　　In 2010, scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rats’ neural activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns, the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells (which help them recognize the direction they’re facing) were fully grown and developed. The rats, it seemed, were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn’t even opened their eyes yet!

　　Humans, of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus—the brain area we use for navigation—is similar in most mammals. If the rat’s compass develops this way, then it’s likely that a human’s compass does, too.

　　If we’re born with a sense of direction, then why are some people so good at getting lost? The scientists found that the two other cells—place and grid cells—developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind, while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that’s where the trouble might be.

　　People who took part in a 2017 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains, the scientists found that grid cells helped the gamers recognize where they were—even without landmarks. According to researcher Michael Kahana, differences in how grid cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.

　　32. What did the 2010 research find?

　　A. Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions.

　　B. Rats’ hippocampus is different from that of humans.

　　C. Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes.

　　D. Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups.

　　33.

　　What do we know about our navigational neurons?

　　A. Place cells let us know how to read a map.

　　B. Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to.

　　C. They help us use a compass when we lose our way.

　　D. Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells.

　　34.

　　Why are some people so good at getting lost?

　　A. They can’t remember landmarks.

　　B. Their grid cells can’t work very well.

　　C. They are unfamiliar with new places.

　　D. Their ability to follow directions is poor.

　　35.

　　What is the text mainly about?

　　A. Human navigational skills.

　　B. The compass in rats’ body.

　　C. Why grid cells are useful.

　　D. How homing pigeons work.

　　【答案】

　　32A

　　33D

　　34B

　　35A

　　【解析】

　　33. D 细节理解题。根据第五段第二句The scientists found that the two other cells—place and grid cells—developed within the first month.可知place and grid cells是在出生以后第一个月里形成的。而head-direction cells是天生就有的，也就是说place and grid cells晚于head-direction cells。故D项正确。

　　34. B 推理判断题。根据第五段第三句中.....while grid cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places.可知grid cells帮助我们确定新的不熟悉的地方。人们会迷路就是因为grid cells没有很好地发挥作用。故B项正确。

　　35. A 主旨大意题。本文属于科普类短文，有些人天生就可以识别方向不会迷路，但另外一些人却经常会迷失方向。文章通过介绍一项对老鼠的实验结果告诉我们人的方向感是天生就有的，有些人迷路是因为grid cells所起效果不好。所以A项“Human navigational skills”符合文章的中心思想。

　　11.Magic is the performance of tricks. It has been a part of almost every culture in the world. Magic shows might include a disappearing act, card tricks, or pulling a rabbit out of a hat. But what could that have to do with health?

　　Kevin Spencer, an American magician goes beyond just entertaining crowds. He also makes magic to improve the lives of people with disabilities.

　　What made him change the focus of his work was an accident. It took him almost a year to regain the skills he'd lost as a result of the accident and this made him think about using magic tricks as a tool for healing. So Spencer started conducting workshops all over the world. He teaches magic tricks to children and adults with disabilities.

　　Mr. Spencer says magic therapy (疗法)may seem non-traditional. But many skills needed to perform a good magic trick are used in traditional forms of therapy --physical movement, thinking, understanding and social skills are all there. And that social connection with other people can also help people feel better about themselves and increase their confidence.

　　Liam Shannon is an example. Liam has a brain disorder that can make learning and connecting with people difficult. People with severe brain disorder may also have trouble understanding complex emotions. The 10-year old boy said after he learned a few simple tricks, he felt many different emotions. "It made me feel happy and proud. It was great!" Liam said。

　　Kevin Spencer says seeing kids like Liam come alive is better than all the applause in the world. "We can be on a stage and get the applause of thousands of people, but that is nothing compared to the smile that comes across a kid's face and when they say ‘Look! I did it' and it's like, yeah, you did!"

　　He says he plans to spend more time working with people with disabilities.

　　【文章大意】本文介绍了一个美国的魔术师不仅仅用魔术来娱乐观众，还使用魔术来改善残疾人的生活。他的活动已经帮助了很多人，而且他也从中获得了很多的快乐。

　　21.What do you think of Kevin Spencer?

　　A. Kind.

　　B. Humorous.

　　A. the use of tools.

　　B. the use of skills.

　　C. the length of history.

　　D. the variety of forms.

　　A. show Liam Shannon likes magic very much

　　Magic is an interesting performance.

　　B. Kevin Spencer is popular with children.

　　C. Kevin Spencer has a deep love for magic.

　　D. Kevin Spencer use magic to help the disabled.

　　D主旨大意题。作者在第二段提出He also makes magic to improve the lives of people with disabilities.然后在下文中详细介绍凯文·史宾赛On the third Sunday in June, Americans take time to recognize and thank a special person in the family – fathers! Father's Day celebrates the importance of fathers, young and old, and the men thought of as father figures.

　　"Like father, like son" is probably the most common father expression. It means a boy is very much like his father, and sons often do what their fathers did before them. This can be a good thing or a bad thing.

　　The words "the child is father of the man" come from the William Wordsworth poem "My Heart Leaps Up." It means people's personalities form when they are children. They will most likely have the same qualities as an adult that they had as a child.

　　Used in everyday speech, one could say, "In his case, the child was father of the man; he loved nature as a child and now works as a botanist."

　　Let's say you want to tell a child a story about something that happened long before they were born. You could say it happened when they "were just a twinkle in their father's eyes." This expression has a humorous and dreamy feel. Here, the word "twinkle" suggests the interest your father had in your mother.

　　When a much older man is interested in a much younger woman and supports her with his money, he is called her "sugar daddy." The money part is very important – that's the sugar.

　　The relationship between a man and his son can be complicated. But the relationship between a father and daughter is often simpler. The expression "daddy's little girl" is understood to mean that, in a father's eyes, his daughter can do no wrong.

　　There is usually not a dry eye at any wedding during the traditional father-and-daughter dance, especially if they are dancing to a song like Michael Buble's "Daddy's Little Girl."

　　【文章大意】每到6月的第三个周日，美国人就会花时间来认可和感谢一位特殊的家庭成员——父亲！父亲节庆祝父亲的重要性，无论年轻还是年老的父亲们以及被视为父亲样的人。

　　25. If a boy behaves just like his father, we can say____.

　　A. "he is just a twinkle in his father's eyes." B. "he is his sugar daddy"

　　C. "like father, like son"

　　D. "the child is father of the man"

　　C细节理解题。根据第二段中“It means a boy is very much like his father, and sons often do what their fathers did before them. This can be a good thing or a bad thing (意思是男孩很像他的父亲，儿子通常会做父亲以前做过的事，这可能是好事也可能是坏事有其父必有其子 " the child is father of the man"?

　　B. People's character are formed when young.

　　themed parties at 15 shelters across the country, some of which house abused or abandoned kids. Each child celebrating a birthday that month gets a $30

　　Albert Einstein offered us more than just the amazing theory of relativity and E＝mc2. Through his persistence in his discoveries in science, Einstein shined a light on how each of us can do the impossible by working hard, experiencing failure，and valuing people.

　　●Simplify Your Work

　　“If you can’t explain it to a six years old, you don’t understand it yourself.”—Albert Einstein

　　The more complicated you have to make something seem, the more you do not understand the inner workings of it.

　　Did they make even the most complicated topics full of vocabulary that you did not understand or did they make it easier to understand by simplifying?

　　●Live in the Present

　　“I never think of the future — it comes soon enough.”—Albert Einstein

　　.You can try to get yourself worried about the future and make plans that may not work out according to plans. What matters most is living now, today. Do your best right now and do not worry about tomorrow.

　　●Work Towards the Impossible

　　“Only those who attempt the absurd(荒谬的) can achieve the impossible.”—Albert Einstein

　　If it seems ridiculous to others and you are willing to take the risk, then you are able to achieve the impossible.

　　You complete what was once an obstacle.

　　●Value People

　　“Life isn’t worth living; unless it is lived for someone else.”—Albert Einstein

　　If you put people first, they will value you and consider you a person who genuinely cares about others.

　　_40

　　Show them that you value them. Thank them and send compliments their way. It will not only make their day better, but they will appreciate it and remember what you have done for them.

　　A．Spend at least a few minutes out of your busy day talking with people without any distraction.

　　B．Scientists in different fields are interested in the unique theory of relativity.

　　C．When you go beyond what others think is reasonable, an amazing thing starts to happen.

　　D．Think differently, and you may find your answer.

　　E．Even if you are not a scientist, you can apply these life lessons to your own life.

　　F．You are only guaranteed the moment that you have right now, at this moment.

　　At first I was paid in candy.

　　I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account.

　　By the time I was 12, my grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as “What color do you think I should wear?” I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas.

　　The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener.

　　Expect they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

　　A. Before long, she let me sit there by myself.

　　B. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

　　C.Later I received 50 cents an hour.

　　D.I ended my selling a record amount of cosmetics.

　　E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility。

　　F. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.

　　考点：考查逻辑推理及语境理解。

　　21.The Lost Rules of Etiquette

　　Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36

　　Sadly, these days

　　it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.

　　Opening the Door

　　In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37

　　This h8s now almost entire-

　　ly disappeared-and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a

　　door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义)．

　　Writing Thank-You Notes

　　In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as

　　possible.

　　38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their

　　first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a

　　thank-you note would be laughed at.

　　We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days.

　　After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was

　　considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of

　　honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.

　　A. Arriving on Time.

　　B. Leaving at the Right Time.

　　C. People leave with various excuses.

　　D. It enabled people

　　to get on well with each other.

　　E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.

　　F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.

　　G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.

　　【答案】

　　36.D

　　37.F

　　38.E

　　39.B

　　40.C

　　【解析】

　　试题分析：本文讲的是消失的礼仪。

　　39.B此空是小标题。根据下文的内容：我们似乎越来越缺少正确的时间观念和礼仪了，我们会因为各式各样的借口离开正在参加的聚会。可知此处的意思是：适时地离开。可知B项适合做标题。

　　40.C根据空格前一句：目前当我们谈到聚会时，我们似乎越来越缺少正确的时间观念和礼仪了。再根据空格后一句：毕竟聚会应以最年长的妇人为贵宾。可知此空所要表达的意思是：人们因为各式各样的借口离开正在参加的聚会。故选C。

　　ware" needed to have a 61.____(success)

　　especially in multicultural countries 68

I notice a man bringing a bunch of things: shoes, blankets, some canned food, and clothing. Perhaps the items were gathered from his family and some of his friend. He started laying it down for people to take. Certainly, I was curious about what things would be going. But I rushed there after school. I saw that much of the items were taken by others.

　　———————————————————————————

　　【答案】

　　Dear David,

　　Last week we held an enthusiastic discussion on what we should do for our school before we graduate. The students in our class have various practical suggestions.

　　Firstly, we’ve agreed to do something meaningful, such as collecting money to purchase some books for the school library, for it needs more science fictions.

　　Secondly, we feel like doing some voluntary work such as planting trees and flowers in and around our schoolyard. It could be an excellent choice for us to beautify our environment.

　　Finally, we have to be determined to study hard to get better results in the coming exams and make greater progress so that our school may feel very proud of us. For my part, I hold the idea that we’ll do as we can to contribute ourselves to our school in our spare time and set a good example for our fellows.

　　Best wishes.

　　Yours friendly,

　　Li Ming
