Some sort of propaganda(宣传) influenced you to make that decision. That thing has a name and it's called persuasion, a process which aims to change one's attitude,behavior, beliefs, intention and principles. Persuasion is a very powerful weapon that can be used wisely in all types of businesses, presentations and public speeches. So it's essential to master the art of persuasion.There are many benefits of mastering the art of persuasion. Firstly, it can help you convince and motivate people of your class. By mastering the art of persuasion, you can change a person's perception(观念) and attitudes towards something. We often convince our parents to spend some money and buy us cars, gadgets, cinema tickets and fancy clothes. You steer(驾驭) all these actions by using effectively the art of persuasion. Most of us don't even realize that our lives are getting influenced by persuasion.Secondly, it can help you succeed in a job interview. When you apply for a job, you know there are thousands of applicants for the same job you're eager to get. The only way to come out on top and stand out from thousands of interviewees for that particular job is by applying persuasion to nail that job. You sell yourself to him, convince your interviewer that he won't find somebody like you elsewhere and he'll look to you in a brighter way than the others.Thirdly, it can help you succeed in your business. The business world today is getting larger and more competitive and it doesn't fit everyone. Only the ones who can master the art of persuasion are able to succeed. Persuasion in business can be applied through several ways, such as propaganda, advertising, and brainwashing. Therefore, you should realize that persuasion is quite helpful in selling more products or services and can help you succeed in all types of businesses.Lastly, it can help you avoid being persuaded by other people. Can you recall the product that you bought in a shop that seemed to be very useful and cost-effective at first glance and made you change your view upon it, but after a while you realized that you wasted your money for something worthless? I know you remember it. And that was a successful attempt of persuasion. You could have prevented that purchase if you mastered the art of persuasion by unmasking(揭露) the truth and making the right decision with a reasonable response.16．What is the passage mainly about?A．The art of persuasion.B．The importance of persuasive skills.C．The definition of persuasion.D．The application of persuasive skills.17．According to the second paragraph, the art of persuasion can ________．A．make you able to change others' livesB．make you keep motivatedC．make you seem more trustableD．prevent your life being influenced18．It is inferred from the passage that ________．A．a successful businessman must be good at persuading peopleB．a person being bad at persuading people can't find a good jobC．one can't succeed without mastering the art of persuasionD．somebody loses much money due to lack of persuasive skills19．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?BMy dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us…He just had his own way of showing it.When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived.Each family had their own campsite with water and electric，and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most “seasonals” visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional week-long stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends，and we'd hold hands as we walked around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and sing songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen—a three-week relationship is a really long time.So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common…They'd all received the Evil Eye.The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess_with me.It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光) beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.“You will not put your hands on my daughter…You will not kiss my daughter…You will not even whisper sweet things into my daughter's ear.”I remember one night in particular walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick “See you later.”Yes, that's the Evil Eye: best way ever to keep wandering teen boys' hands away from your daughter.20．The Evil Eye in the passage implies that ________．A．Dad gets angry easilyB．Dad's eyes are evilC．Dad's eyes are uglylookingD．Dad's eyes are protective to his daughter21．The underlined words “mess with”in Paragraph 5 most probably mean “________”．A．cause trouble for B．make untidyC．get married to D．talk to22．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.B．We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.C．We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.D．The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved the Evil Eye.23．It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________．A．is a teenage girl who loves her fatherB．is a teenage boy who hates his fatherC．is now an adult who has come to understand her father's loveD．used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then课时作业(六)Ⅰ.1.A be known to sb. 为某人所知；be known for 因为……出名；be known as 以……身份出名。

2014届高考英语一轮复习精选阅读理解文章六十篇(33)

女职员工作更努力Women employees work harder and longer than men do, according to a new study by independent research consultancy the Ponemon Institute.独立研究咨询机构波耐蒙研究所的一项新研究称，女职员工作比男职员更努力，工作时间也更长。

Among the subjects that took part in trials across the US, females consistently （一致地） worked for a longer period of time during a ten-minute experiment than their male colleagues.Researchers also discovered that men are even less productive when women are around.The experiment was originally intended to observe the effect of 3M privacy filters - thin panels that fit onto a monitor, allowing only the user to view their computer screen - on productivity in the workplace.But the study ended up revealing that with or without a privacy filter, women are more productive than men in the workplace.Of the 274 subjects, who all worked in financial services, consumer products, education, health care and energy, approximately 53 percent of the subjects were female, and 47 percent were male.When working with a privacy filter, females worked 4.9 minutes during a ten-minute experimental trial, while men worked 4.3 minutes.And even without a privacy filter, females worked 2.5 minutes during ten minutes, while male subjects worked for just 2.1 minutes in the same amount of time.Not only do women work longer, but they also apparently work harder than their male counterparts.When subjects were given the opportunity to walk away during an experimental waiting period, just 38 percent of women left their desk, while 52 percent of men did.Moreover, men were found to be less productive if a woman was around.When the researcher and subject were both male, the average time worked was 3.6 minutes. When they were both female, productivity rose to four minutes.But with a female researcher and a male subject, the time worked dropped to just 2.8 minutes.。

She started formal training at age eight.Though she has rarely fallen, her worst accident was when she tumbled(翻动) while practicing on a course in Hebei Province. Lying on the field, she lost consciousness for about 20 seconds and bloodied her right hand. When she came to, instead of crying she stood up without the help of her coach, Ji Yuping.“Unlike other girls, Tian is strongminded，” Ji said.Equestrian athletes in the country do not receive much education. But Tian insists she should attend college and major in literature or English.Despite frequent competitions, Tian has distinguished herself as a top student.The principal of her school allows Tian to finish her schoolwork and send it to teachers via the Internet when she is away for a competition.“I like horse riding but won't make it my profession，” Tian said.16．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．Tian achieved a gold medal at the International Equestrian Masters.B．Tian won a bronze in the jumping challenge in Beijing.C．Tian has been interested in horses since the age of four.D．A woman equestrian should be strong, patient and hardworking.17．Which is NOT the reason that Tian stands out at horse riding events?A．She worked hard at horse riding events.B．There are not many woman equestrian athletes in the country.C．Many parents don't want their daughters to join in the horse riding.D．The practice is not protected by any insurance.18．What can we learn from the seventh paragraph?A．Tian only practiced at school.B．Tian only practiced during her vacations.C．Tian rested only one day during the Spring Festival.D．Tian insisted on practice no matter what kind of situation it was.19．What can we infer from the ninth paragraph?A．Tian was badly hurt.B．Tian lost consciousness.C．Tian is very strong and brave.D．Tian's coach helped her.20．What can we learn from the last paragraph but one?A．Tian's headmaster and teachers all support her.B．Tian often hands in her homework by the Internet.C．Tian finishes her homework by the Internet.D．Tian can't finish her homework because of her competition.BClassified adsFor direct classif ied service, call 8000667 10 am～4 pm, Monday～Friday.A．ads about everyone's lifeB．ads giving one some necessary informationC．ads divided into different groups according to a certain ruleD．ads for which you needn't pay any money22．If you want to have something advertised, what number should you call?A．8000739.

2014届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练38

2014届高考英语一轮复习限时阅读训练38(锥形的) fruit, it might remind you of the popular Halloween treat “candy corn”.Stommel says that vegetable crops such as peppers were first widely grown in Europe in the 15th century. At that time, people liked these crops more because they looked pretty than because they provided food.Back then, when a gardener grew plants for decoration and plants for food, the garden was called a “potager”. An example of this is the large gardens on the lawns (草坪) of castles and very large homes where kings and queens lived. One of those large royal homes was the French king’s palace at Versailles during the 1600s. The palace is still there today, and people from all over the world still go there to visit and see the gardens.Today, Stommel says using vegetables as decorations in gardens has become popular again.So you might be wondering, if thesepeppers are for decoration, can people eat them? Yes, but the fruit from both of these peppers has a sharp taste (kind of like onions).These peppers are scheduled to become available in mid-2019. These pretty peppers can be grown in containers and also in garden beds. They grow best with plenty of light and warm temperatures, Stommel says.9. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Different kinds of peppers.B. The history of peppers.C. Peppers with the Halloween spirit.D. Food for the Halloween festival.10. What do we know about “Lil’Pumpkin”and “Pepper Jack”?A. They are used to decorate Christmas trees.B. They are grown mainly to provide food to eat.C. Their fruits have different shapes.D. Their fruits are of the same color.11. The underlined word “they”in Paragraph2 refers to “_______”.A. these vegetablesB. these holidaysC. these lightsD. these scientists12. According to the passage, a potager was _______.A. the place where kings and queens livedB. the garden in the French king’s palaceC. a place providing vegetables for the royal homesD. a garden with plants for decoration and for food（B）Before Nicolas Sarkozy became French president, he was asked if he thought about“Not just when I’m presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving(刮胡子), ” he answered.When Francois Hollande, now president-elect (总统当选人) ofFrance, was asked the same question, he replied: “Do I see myself as president? No, I am a presidential candidate. A candidate must not think himself president; he must give hope that he becomes president. ”Hollande has promised to be a “normal president”—something Sarkozy certainly was not. Sarkozy celebrated his election in 2019 at a world-class Parisian restaurant. He took holidays on the yachts (游艇) of wealthy business people. Hollande, by contrast, was still going around Paris on his three-wheeled motorbike at the start of this year. One member of his party said he looked “more like a pizza delivery man”than the next president.“That is the key to Hollande’s success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum (公民投票) for or against Nicolas Sarkozy, ”Eric Dupin, a journalist and political observer (观察员) told Global Post. “Francois Hollande is the one whoappears not only as his main opponent politically, but also as his complete opposite psychologically (心理上地). ”When he was the Socialist party leader, Hollande was nicknamed“the marshmallow (软糖)” because he hated fights. Sarkozy, by contrast, is known to be loud and aggressive.When faced with Sarkozy’s verbal attacks, Hollande stayed calm. “I wish he would just let go and savage (用暴力对付) Sarkozy, ”one Hollande voter said to the Guardian.But Hollande still knows how to fight. Stéphane Le Foll, a Socialist MEP who has been one of Hollande’s closest advisors for 17 years and is co-directing his campaign, said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid for 10 years. “I think we all underestimated this guy, ” Alain Minc, one of Sarkozy’s closest friends and advisors, told Reuters.Hollande was born in 1954 in amiddle-class family. He lived through the 1968 protests (抗议) that nearly overthrew (推翻) the French government. “They shocked him, but also politicized him, he said in a recent interview, making him understand that change was possible, ”reported the New York Times. When Hollande was 15, he told friends he expected to become president.“I didn’t come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession, ” Hollande said in an interview with Reuters. “I got there because I put myself in this situation, and because I deserved it. ”9. By citing Hollande and Sarkozy’s replies to the same question, the author intends to show _______.A. Sarkozy is more confident than HollandeB. Hollande is more modest than SarkozyC. Hollande is less ambitious than SarkozyD. Sarkozy is more humorous than Hollande10. What is the key to Hollande’s success in the presidential election according to EricDupin?A. His dislike of fights.B. His careful plan for the presidential bid.C. How different he is from Sarkozy.D. The gentle way in which he ran his campaign.11. How did Hollande react to Sarkozy’s verbal attacks according to the article?A. He fought back violently.B. He got annoyed on the spot.C. He didn’t say anything.D. He dealt with them calmly.12. What is the purpose of the article?A. To show what kind of a person Hollande is.B. To compare the differences between Hollande and Sarkozy.C. To show what French people think of Hollande.D. To explain why Sarkozy lost the election.A【文章大意】你见过长得像南瓜的胡椒吗？本文就介绍了这种刚培育成功的新植物——橘黄色、样子像南瓜的胡椒。

He wrote plays and poems during the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, which remain very popular today.During earlier times, people would probably have learned several ancient Roman and Greek plays. It was not unusual for writers to produce more current versions of these works. For example, in Shakespeare's play The Comedy of Errors Shakespeare borrowed certain details from the ancient Roman writer Plautus. For his play Macbeth, Shakespeare most likely used a work on Scottish history by Raphael Holinshed for information. Shakespeare might have borrowed from other writers, but the intensity(强度)of his imagination and language made the plays his own. While many plays by other writers of his time have been forgotten, Shakespeare and his art live on.Shakespeare was also influenced by the world around him. He described the sights and sounds of London in his plays. His works include observations about political struggles, the fear of diseases, and the popular language of the city's tradesmen. Shakespeare's knowledge of the English countryside is also clear. His works include descriptions of deep forests, local flowers, and the ancient popular traditions of rural people.It would be impossible to list all of the ways in which Shakespeare's works have influenced the world culture. But the first and greatest example would be his great influence on the English language. During his time, the English language waschanging. Many new words from other languages were being added. Shakespeare used his sharp mind and poetic inventiveness to create hundreds of new words and rework old ones. For example, he created the noun forms of“critic”，“mountaineer”and“eyeball”. Many common expressions in English come from his plays, including“pomp and circumstance(装腔作势)”from Othello，“full circle(绕圈子地)”from King Lear, etc. The list of cultural creations influenced by Shakespeare is almost endless. From paintings to television to music and dance, Shakespeare was well represented. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into every major language in the world.Shakespeare became a wellknown writer during a golden age of theater. His years of hard work paid off.11. What can we infer from the passage?A．Many of Shakespeare's works were influenced by earlier writings.B．Shakespeare was hardworking when he was a student.C．The experience of living in London helped a lot with Shakespeare's works.D．Shakespeare became rich later because of the popularity of his works.12. Shakespeare might have learnt some information from ancient Roman worksin________．A．King LearB．The Comedy of ErrorsC．MacbethD．Othello13. Why could Shakespeare's works survive his time?A．Because there were so few people writing plays in his time.B．Because he produced too many works that nobody else could do.C．Because he was a rich and influential person of his time.D．Because his works were rich in imagination and language.14. Shakespeare's greatest influence should be on________．A．the English languageB．paintingsC．televisionD．music and dance15. The passage is mainly about ________．A．an introduction to Shakespeare's life and his worksB．the main features and styles of Shakespeare's playsC．how ancient culture influenced Shakespeare and he influenced cultureD．Shakespeare's greatest influence on the world cultureBThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare's time is estimated to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their ownlanguages. The purpose for which English is learned and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its presentday importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies.

Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had just returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her what she had observed. “Nothing in particular，”she replied. But for long I have been accustomed to such responses, and become convinced that the_seeing_see_little．How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I—who cannot see, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry(对称) of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch(银桦树), or the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches of trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening nature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, smooth texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable swirl(旋动); and something of the miracleof nature is revealed to me. Occasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a small tree and feel the happiness of a bird in full song. I am delighted to have cool waters of a stream rush through my open fingers. To me a rich carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is more welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug(波斯毛毯). To me the circle of seasons is a thrilling and unending drama, the action of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can get so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparently see little. The whole picture of color and action filling the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little that which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it is a great pity that in the world of light, the gift of sight is used only as mere convenience rather than as a means of adding fullness to life.36．What does the author imply by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?A．If one is always using his eyes, he would have poor eyesight.B．The sighted people sometimes fail to discover beautiful things.C．The blind people see no less than the sighted ones.D．When one tries to see, he always sees nothing.37．Which of the following is NOT an example given to show how the nature interests the author?A．The delicate symmetry (对称) of a leaf.B．The delightful, smooth texture of a flower.C．The happiness of a bird in full song.D．The most luxurious Persian rug.38．What does the author think is the reason why sighted people fail to discover the beauty of nature?A．That they long for that which they have not.B．That what they have is usually taken for granted.C．That the gift of sight is a means of adding fullness to life.D．That mere touch is the best way to discover and feel.39．What is the passage mainly about?A．It tries to prove that the seeing see little.B．It describes how wonderful the nature is.C．It tells people to protect their eyesight.D．It expresses some thoughts on feeling beauty and sight.课时作业(一)Ⅰ.1.A of much experience“有很多经验的”，a lot of interesting experiences意为“很多有趣的经历”。

(通用版)高考英语一轮复习专题限时集训6 阅读理解—推理判断之写作意图、目的(含解析)-人教版高三

专题限时集训(六) 阅读理解推理判断之写作意图/目的AI've been a volunteer in the Macmillan@ Glasgow Libraries programme for just over a year. I got involved because I was looking for something to volunteer for after I retired from work. I thought being a Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Volunteer might be a good way to do that by using some of the skills I learned at work.At one time，I felt I made a real difference when a lady came into use the service. She was very upset，but she was not the person with cancer.It was her partner.She had lots of things on her mind.We，together with a counselor，had a chat about her to help deal with all the emotions(情感) she felt.We knew we could arrange something，so we discussed with her what could be done for her family.She was relieved that we could get something arranged for her and liked the fact that we managed to get the ball rolling during her visit.The good thing about having the services in the library is that the environment is non-clinical and therefore more relaxing than the hospital or doctor's surgery.The team in the library are not medically trained.That means we do not use big words or medical terms very often.It's great that the people who volunteer all work well together，helping each other to get a resolution(解决) for people who come in.It's good to have to team at the other end of the phone whenever we get something unusual.It is a pleasure to be able to help as a volunteer.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Whe n you come to think of it , only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste.Many women spe nd vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly bee n worn.

It was far more heartbreaking than I'd expected，one of the most difficult and painful timesin my life. After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment. There were so many things to deal with. It all seemed endless. I was lonely. I hated the silence of the apartment.But one evening the silence was broken：I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I felt. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell sound asleep.The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been abandoned by his owner who's moved out. So the little cat was there all alone，just like I was. As I walked back to the apartment, I tried to figure out what to do with him. Having_something_else_to_take_care_of_seemed_like_the_very_last_thing_indeed. But as soon as I opened the apartment door he came running and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment that he had no intention of going anywhere. I started calling him Willis，in honor of my father's best friend.From then on，things grew easier. With Willis in my lap time seemed to pass much more quickly. When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.It's now been five years since my father died. Over the years，several people have commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat.

It was just several months after he listened to an informative speech in North Carolina. Ⅱ.阅读理解WASHINGTON—It's a great achievement that inspires notions (观念) of robots with consciousness and independent minds.they can usually compensate for minor injuries and keep limping along, but for robots, even slight damage can make them stumble and fall. However, a recently-made robot has demonstrated a novel ability: it can heal its own damage. The new robot, which looks like a splay-legged(弓形腿的), four-footed starfish, can sense injury to itself and adapt. That er from unfamiliar places. “There is a need for planetary robotic rovers (行星机器探测车) to be ，” says Josh Bongard, a professor in the University of Vermont, who is one of the device's creators. “e able to continue their mission without human help if they are damaged and cannot communicate their problem back to earth.” A typical robot functions according to a computer program, but the new robot works differently. First, sensors in its four legs observe the robot's movements and signal to its built-in computer. From the information it collects, the robot creates its own programs that allow it to adapt to different situations. For example, when the researchers shortened one of the robot's legs, the smart machine simply adjusted its way of walkingt used three legs instead of four. The researchers are looking for other places to put the resilient robot to work. One spot is the ocean floor. That dark and dangerous undersea cplace might be a good choice for a robot the scientists call the Starfish. “We never officially named the robot, but we usually refer to it as the Starfish, even though a real starfish has five rather than four legs，” says Bongard. “Also, a real starfish is much better than our robot at recovering from injury, because it can actually grow its legs again.”Scientists have created robots that help humans in many ways: by exploring space, fighting fires, and even performing surgery. 11．The newly-designed robot distinguishes itself from the former ones because it________．can find its problems and solve them automatically D．can explore unfamiliar places 12．An example is given in the fourth paragraph in order to explain that the robot ________．create new programs B．has typical robot functions C．has sensors to observe its movements D．can gather information and adapt to new conditions 13．The underlined word “resilient” in the last paragraph means the robot is________．？ of by people for its special ability. B．It will stumble and fall if damaged. C．It can grow its legs again once they are broken. D．It has started to work on the ocean floor. 15．What might be the best title of the passage? A．How does the Starfish robot work B．Do-It-Yourself robots repair C．Robots designed to work on other planets D．New robots helping us in many ways B In the fall of 1985，I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember：little steps add up to big dreams. 16. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be________. A．a writer B．a teacher C．a judge D．a doctor 17．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? A．She wanted to study by herself. B．She fell in love and got married. C．She suffered from a serious illness. D．She decided to look after her grandma. 18．What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5? A．She was busy yet happy with her family life. B．She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons. C．She wanted to remain a full-time housewife. D．She was too confused to make a correct choice. 19．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? A．Failure is the mother of success. B．Little by little，one goes far.，half done.Ambitious and sensitive. D．Innocent and single-minded. Ⅲ.基础写作近年微博(microblog)在中国越来越流行。

I was hurting myself and I was in bondage to her because I held her in my heart full of hate. God set me free from this when I forgave her. A couple of years ago I came face to face with my mother at my grandmother's funeral. I told her about the changes in my life and I told her that I forgave her. I was able to tell her that I loved her. I am still separated from my oldest daughter, but she knows that I love her and that I made some wrong choices. I am now raising three of my own children and my sister's child. When I look into the eyes of my sister's baby—who is now the same age as my oldest child was when I left her—I can see myself at that age. I know that Jesus forgives, as I am allowed to be the mother I never knew.Take a look at your life. There are things we dream of doing one day; there are things we wish we could forget. In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate?Live with hope. If you are looking for peace, there is a way to balance your life. No one can be perfect, or have a perfect life. But every one of us has the opportunity to experience perfect grace through a personal relationship with God through his son, Jesus Christ.You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. Praying is simply talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as he is with the attitude of your heart. Jesus Christ will come into your life, just as he promised.As you learn more about your relationship with God, and how much he loves you, you'll experience life to the fullest.16．From Paragraph 1, we can infer that ________．A．the author still lives with her motherB．the author has three children but the oldest one does not live with her C．when staying with her sister's baby, the author can't help recalling her old daysD．the author will never be forgiven by her mother17．From the passage, we know the author was hurting herself because________．A．she couldn't forgive herself for making so many mistakesB．she is separated from her oldest daughterC．she hasn't any belief in her lifeD．she couldn't get rid of the hate for her mother18．According to the author, which one is NOT true?A．Not all of us can experience a perfect life.B．There are various situations in life.C．When we pray, God cares more about our attitude than our words.D．We should be grateful to God for his help.19．In writing this passage, the author intends to ________．A．tell us a story about her and her childrenB．show her regret to her motherC．tell us religious belief is a cure for bad feelings in lifeD．explain why she forgave her mother20．The best title for the passage might/would be “________”．A．Forgiveness is a virtueB．How to live a perfect lifeC．The right attitude towards our lifeD．God is always with usB[2012·广东卷]I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been aterrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone forhalf an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.21. The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________．A．she might be recognizedB．asking for help looked sillyC．she was normal and independentD．being found blind was embarrassing22. After the girl got off the bus that evening, she ________．A．began to runB．hit a person as usualC．hit a lamppost by accidentD．was caught by something23. At the request stop that evening, the girl ________．A．stopped a big lorryB．stopped the wrong busC．made no attempt to stop the busD．was not noticed by other people24. What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?A．Other vehicles also stopped there.B．It was unreliable for making judgments.C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.25. Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping ________．A．to find people thereB．to find more buses thereC．to find the bus by herself thereD．to find people more helpful there课时作业(一)Ⅰ.友情可贵，但到底什么样的友谊才是真正的友谊？当朋友执迷不悟时，你能晓之以理，动之以情，忍受误会，坚持下去，使朋友悬崖勒马，那才是真正的友谊。
