The world has changed and being intelligent isn't normally eq ual to being a successful person. Look at the example of the b lue whale：It has a huge brain，
but it still doesn't know how to avoid whalers or use its large si ze and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those high ly intelligent people can't succeed in life because they can't co mmunicate well with the world around them.
Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are bett er than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from h ow others view them. These people also think that the route t o power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their su pposed brain power.
This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes，
a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intellige nce. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the
position where they can't listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的)．And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with mo st of the people around them. This affects them in whatever th ey do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.
It doesn't help that they get a culture shock—
especially when they leave college and realize success and ri chness don't always and sometimes never come naturally wit h intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic pictur e to paint，it is sometimes the end result of some people. 1．The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ______. A．communication is more important than intelligence B．human beings are always more intelligent than animals C．humans should have the sense of protecting animals D．the blue whale is the largest animal in the world 2．Those supposed intelligent people often believe that _____ _.
A．they should make their life the same with others
B．they should live in a better world than the others
C．they are sure to be successful because of their intelligenc e
D．other people's opinion should be seriously considered 3．What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence? A．They often can't get higher positions though they are intell igent.
B．They become separated from other people and lose their support.
C．They can't persuade those stupid people to accept their id eas.
D．They often can't make good use of their advantages. 4．We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ______.
A．great achievements B．more efforts
C．proper changes D．failure in the future

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her fro
nt yard. Her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing mo re than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towar ds the sky with amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooli ng shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall .
When the two-
day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches that were still full of leaves. The weight split that lov ely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor l ater, she said that the damage had been too much and that th e entire tree would have to be cut down. Thankfully she had s aved a few saplings(树
苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.
Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in her front yard. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. I missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long ti me to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had another pla n. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sit ting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see. I coul
d feel my heart smile.
Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us bot h beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two , or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stron
ger and our hearts more loving. We can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.
1. We know from the first paragraph that _____．
A. the tree grew very slowly.
B. the tree showed its beauty and benefits.
C. the author’s neighbor was good at planting trees.
D. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.
2. The author’s neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_____.
A. a good reminder.
B. a seat after dinner.
C. a place to feed birds.
D. a beautiful sculpture.
3. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?
A. Life has beauty and tragedy.
B. Life consists of p ain and suffering.
C. Life should be pleasant rather than painful.
D. Life is det ermined by our attitude towards it.

选出最佳选项。

【2016高考训练】
We've all heard the old saying，
“Sticks and stones can break my bones，
but words can never hurt me.” Don't you believe it？
Words are powerful，and they can hurt—a lot. In fact，
if you're not careful，you can even hurt yourself，
by using the wrong word in your writing.
Recently a friend sent me a copy of an email she received fro m the customer service department of her credit card compan y，
after she contacted them with a question about her account. S he was happy with their positive response. But as I read the e mail，one line jumped out at me：
“In lieu of good customer service...”
Did they really mean they were offering her a few extra rewar d points instead of good customer service？
I doubt it. More likely，
what the customer service department meant to say was，“Because good customer service is important to us...” followe d by the details of what they were doing to make sure she re mained a happy customer.
So why didn't the writer say that？
I can only guess that perhaps the writer liked the phrase “in lie u of”，
thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”，and so used it—without bothering to check the true meaning. Have you ever done that？
Try to impress others with a big word，
only to find out you've used the word incorrectly？
It's just the opposite effect，isn't it？
You may impress people all right，
but it's not the impression you were going for.
When you write，
remember to choose your words carefully. People may still dis agree with what you say，
but they won't be able to dismiss you because you made care less mistakes in how you said it.
1．What's the writer's purpose in giving the saying?
A．To amuse the reader. B．To persuade the reader. C．To support a conclusion. D．To lead to the topic.
2．It can be inferred that the writer's friend ______.
A．was the manager of the customer service department B．was the customer of the credit card company C．emailed a company to complain D．used a phrase incorr
ectly
3．What does the phrase “in lieu of” most probably mean? A．Because of. B．In honour of.
C．Instead of. D．In favour of.
4．According to the writer，
the customer service department ______.
A．didn't express what they really meant
B．didn't prefer to use familiar words to attract customers C．didn't need to offer their customers extra reward points D．succeeded in impressing their customers

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed a nd distance.It requires you to predict what other road users wi ll do and get ready to react to something unexpected.When al cohol is consumed，
it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depresant (抑制药)，damaging eyesight，judgement and coordination (协调)，
slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents.Even below the drink driving limit，
driving will be affected.
Alcoho
l may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain.Absorption rate is increased whe n drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mi xed with fruit juice.To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any me asures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee. The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limi t of alcohol concentration is：
●50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood；or
●22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath；or
●67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of uriue (尿液)．
Drivers who cause traffic accidents，
or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspecte d of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,00 0 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished fo r 10 drivingoffence points；
or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide speeimens(样本) for breath，blood or urine tests without good excuse. Drink driving is a criminal offence.Be a responsible driver，think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other roa d users，never drive after consuming alcohol.

what the customer service department meant to say was，
“Because good customer service is important to us...” followed by the details of what they we re doing to make sure she remained a happy customer.
So why didn't the writer say that？

thought it sounded more interesting than saying “because”，and so used it—
