3.阅读理解
Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car's tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn't slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened. Shocked, I shook my head to clear it and gazed down at my foot.
Just as I did, though, a truck rushed past my car doing 60 mph. My weary eyes hadn't seen it when I had looked just 2 seconds earlier. If I had been pulling out when I should have been, my little green car would have been smashed and I would have most likely been killed. I sat there for a long time quietly thanking God for sparing my life before pulling out on the road and heading home. This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.
As I looked back on that moment later I still couldn't understand it. Did God prevent my brain's signal from reaching my foot? Did an angel hold my toes to keep them from pressing on the gas? One question kept coming back into my mind as well: why? Why did I get this miracle? Why did God spare my life this day? Finally, I felt the answer forming deep within my heart and mind. I heard the words coming from my soul sa ying: “You still have more to do. Your work is not done yet!”
Richard Bach wrote: “Here is the test to find if your mission on Earth is finished: if you are alive it isn't.” Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn't done yet. You have mor e love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be.
(1)The underlined word “gloomy” probably means_________.
A. windy.
B. sunny.
C. overcast.
D. cool.
(2)After the writer paid for the gas, he planned to________.
A. sat in the car for a rest.
B. look right and left.
C. shake his head to clear it.
D. push on the gas pedal to turn his car towards the main road.(3)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer's green car was smashed by a truck.
B. There is something wrong with writer's gas pedal.
C. An angel holds the writer's toes to keep them from pressing on the gas.
D. The writer's foot didn't push on the gas pedal.
(4)What's the writer's attitude towards life?
A. The writer is positive towards life.
B. The writer is passive towards life.
C. The writer doesn't show his attitude.
D. The writer takes a neutral (中立的) attitude towards life.

【解析】【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章,作者在刚加完油准备驶入主路的时候,由于前一天睡眠不好,脑子和脚不协调没有踩加速油门,这个迟钝的动作缺救了他一命,躲过了一个飞速行驶的卡车。
作者由此感谢上苍给他了眷顾,认为这是一个奇迹。
⑴词义猜测。
windy有风的;sunny晴朗的;overcast阴的;cool凉爽的。
根据句意:是一个阴的,……下雨的天。
因此gloomy与cloudy和rainy是近义词,是让人不舒服的天气,故选C。
⑵细节理解。
根据第一段After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road可知他要上主路,故选D。
⑶细节理解。
根据 I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened可知我的大脑发出信号,让脚踩油门踏板,但是什么都没发生。
说明作者的脚没有听从大脑的指挥去才油门,根据第二段最后一句This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.可以印证之前脚没有听大脑的指挥。
故选D。
⑷推理判断。
根据最后一段Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn't done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be. 可知作者每天醒来,知道自己的任务没有完成,有更多的爱去分享,更多的人去帮助,更多的善意要给,还有上帝将奇迹给你的一天。

I've been smoking ever since I was very young. To be honest, I never considered what could happen to my body if I kept smoking. I just knew that I couldn't help smoking, especially when I felt very anxious. One day, I started to notice that it was getting harder and harder for me to do simple things like walking. Several months later, I couldn't get through a conversation without coughing.
Finally, I went to see a doctor. He told me I had COPD(慢肺阻). He said I had to stop smoking. I wasn't sure I could make it. To be honest, I wasn't sure I wanted to. He said that it
would get harder to breathe if I didn't stop smoking, and that one day I might have to be seriously ill in bed. That made me so scared enough that I decided to give a try. However, after a few days, I failed. I knew it would be harder when I spent a lot of time with my best friend who was a smoker.
Then I tried again. That time, I tried the patch(戒烟贴), which made a big difference. It took almost 5 months, but I was finally able to stop smoking. I could feel comfortable and hopeful.

We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting, "Are our efforts in vain?" The answer is "No". We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached, but also by how we've acted, which means the process(过程)is also important. Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故
意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination(目标), dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.
I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫) to take an adventure?
Young men, let's forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey!
(1)Reaching our goals will make us ________.
A. laugh at others
B. be over the moon
C. asset another goal
D. forget our efforts (2)What does the underlined phrase "in vain" mean in Chinese?
A. 值得
B. 益处
C. 高效
D. 徒劳(3)The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _________.
A. fruit is delicious
B. people can also suffer a lot in life
C. it's hard for a tree to bear fruit
D. we should grow trees to get good fruit
(4)Only those who __________ will get the good character.
A. have gone through a lot
B. work very hard
C. believe that things will be better and better
D. believe in themselves
(5)What's the best title for this passage ?
A. Stand on Our Own Feet
B. Process Is Also Important
C. Don't Doubt Yourself
D. Failure Is the Mother Of Success
【答案】(1)B
(2)D
(3)B
(4)A
(5)B
【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了做任何事情的过程对我们来说也很重要。
(1)细节理解题,根据第一段We are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon.可知当我们达到目标时,我们很兴奋,在那一刻,我们笑,鼓掌,甚至感觉在月亮上,故选B。
(2)词义猜测题,根据第一段"Are our efforts in vain?"可知这句是说“我们的劳动是徒劳的
吗”,故选D。

8.阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
Here is a story: A man sees a butterfly (蝴蝶). The butterfly tries to get out of its chrysalis (蛹). Feeling sorry for it, the man decides to help. He cuts the chrysalis and the butterfly comes out easily. Surprisingly enough, the butterfly is unable to fly. If the butterfly doesn't struggle (挣扎;奋斗) to leave the chrysalis, it can't fly! The struggle develops the energy in the butterfly which makes it fly. Similarly, the challenges of life bring out the best in young people and make the fly.
When people are young, meeting and overcoming challenges will make them strong and ready to face life. When we look at successful people, we see that the most successful of them are people who have had to struggle. One famous businessman, who now owns many big supermarkets, used to carry clothes on his back and sell them from door to door when he was young. Another successful man is Dennis. His father died when he was only twenty. His father's death forced him to mature fast. He had to bring up a family of nine people. He took up the challenges and overcame them. Today his brothers and sisters are leading successful lives.
Sometimes challenges do not appear to us because we keep away from them. So some parents and teachers actively encourage young people to face challenges. They might organize some activities for young people which provide them with challenges, like rock-climbing, camping, volunteer work and so on. However, just passing exams will not prepare a person for life. We must meet and overcome challenges. The young people of today will become the leaders of tomorrow. For countries to continue to become successful, it is important that the young people learn to meet challenges and overcome them.

A. sell clothes from door to door

A. wake up
B. give up

B. Suggest how to become a successful businessman.
C. Explain what will happen if a person fails the exam.
D. Encourage young people to face challenges.
(4)What is the best title for this passage?
A. Successful People Have a Sense of Achievement
B. Challenges of Life Bring Out the Best in Young People
C. Young People Must Develop Their Energy Actively
D. Countries Should Continue to Become Successful
【答案】(1)B
(2)D
(3)D

故答案是B。

One of my best friends went abroad to enjoy her holidays, so the job of looking after her dog Missy has been given to me. A few months ago, Missy came to my friend's house. She looked terrible. She has been abused for a long time.
When we first visited my friend and Missy, my friend had to gently pull her over on a lead (牵绳) to get her to come to us. She wanted to come but afraid to do so—the poor, beautiful thing. Clearly Missy came to the right home. My friend has given birth to a baby of his own and shows the love of a mother. This is just what Missy needs. Thanks to the love of my friend, she has changed into a new dog step by step. Sadly, she is still afraid of strange humans. I hate to imagine what the dog must have gone through.
Now, Missy trusts me completely, so I can touch her berry(肚皮).While standing, she will
jump up so gently to be closer to me, putting her paws(爪子)on my legs as she looks at me with those beautiful eyes.
Missy is really brave. She has the courage to try again, to open her hearts, and to know that not everyone is the same kind of people as before. Keep it in mind that tomorrow is another day.(1)The underlined word "abused" in the first paragraph means__________.

There are many colours in nature. But do you think that colour has weight? I think you'll say "No". But I'm afraid you are wrong. If you don't believe it, you may do a small experiment(实验).
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes.
Then, rap(包裹)one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colours have different weights in man's mind. That is to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so. That is because every colour stands for(代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength(波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours-they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you'll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you 'like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture(家具)for two hours, you'll feel you have been there for four hours, you'll fed you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you'I1 feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise.
That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
(1)From the experiment, we know that .
A. the two boxes have the same weight
B. colours can change the weight of an object
C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper
D. colours have different weights in people's mind
(2)From the fourth paragraph, we can infer(推断)
A. the smell of colours is changeable(可变的)
B. people can sense the light from colours
C. people can smell the colors through the nose
D. all the colours have the same smell for the blind
(3)Which of the following is TRUE?
A. White colour is heavier than red colour.
B. People may get ill if they refuse the colours they don't like.
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.
D. People's body temperature will change with different colours.
(4)We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. red colour is bad for our health。
