(2013·沈阳市二模，A)The owner of a missing cat is asking for help. “My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly，” said Mrs. Brown, a 56yearold woman. Mrs. Brown lives by herself in a park near Clovis. She said that Clyde, her 7yearold cat, didn't come home for dinner more than a month ago. The next morning he didn't appear for breakfast, either. After Clyde missed an extraspecial lunch, she called the police. When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was seven years old and completely white.“Is Clyde your child or your pet？”the officer asked. “Well, he's my cat.” Mrs. Brown replied. “Lady, you should report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS！” said the annoyed policeman. “You can ask around your neighborhood or put up flyers.” Mrs. Brown figured that a billboard would work a lot better than an 8×11 piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway, with a phone number on it.She called that number, and they told her they could put up a picture of Clyde on the billboard for all to see. They told her it would cost only ￥3 000 a month. So she took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the billboard for a month. The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared.Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the billboard for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.文章大意：本文是一篇新闻报道。

In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (点滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microph one and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone“Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鸣,唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷缩) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.1．Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.A. most of her hair had fallen outB. she was receiving treatment for cancerC. she felt depressed and quit from schoolD. she was suffering from a pain in her back2．What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?A. It helps young patients record songs.B. It is supported by singers and patients.C. It aims to replace the medical treatment.D. It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.3．What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?A. Most children are naturally fond of music.B. He was brave enough to put up performance.C. The project has positive effect on young patients.D. Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.4．What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Purple Songs Can FlyB. Singing Can Improve HealthC. A Shining Moment in LifeD. A Kind Woman—Anita Kruse试题分析：文章主要介绍了49岁的Anita Kruse进行的一项名为Purple Songs Can Fly的帮助患病的病人的计划，文章中还列举了一些事例来证明这一计划的有效性。

(2013·济南市4月模拟，D)More over smart phone, the intelligent watch is about to take your spot as the latest hitech current, allowing wearers to glance at messages and even take calls without touching their phones. The i'm Watch, available since 2011, is the flagship product of an Italian company—i'm. This smart watch is an assist to the smart phone, with which it can communicate by Bluetooth wireless technology. It means you can leave your phone in your pocket as you answer or reject a call, review emails or read updates from friends on Twitter or Facebook.The i'm Watch also has its own applications, such as i'm Sport, which links with a heart rate detector (检测器) to allow a runner to check his pulse. Such functions already exist in specialized sports watches but not on watches that are linked to smart phones.With a square shape, a 3.8centimeter touch screen and various colors, the i'm Watch sells for a minimum of 300 Euros ($390) for the basic model and prices climb to 16 000 Euros for a luxury model in silver or decorated with diamonds.So far, the watch has already found 30 000 buyers, 80 percent of whom are men aged 25 to 50. “Seventy percent are iPhone users, 25 percent Samsung and the rest are other telephones using Google's Android operating system，” said Massimiliano Bertolini, a manager of the company, which aims to sell more than 200 000 watches this year. The company's target market is the person who is always glued to his smart phone, even in meetings or at the movies, or people who wish to keep an eye on their heartbeat during exercise. They will especially target women with advertisements emphasizing its design rather than its technology.文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。

(2013·福建省毕业班质检，B)The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit to giving up actions thatare harmful to the environment, such as using poisonous cleaners.Throughout the month of April, Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for EarthDay！” Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970. Earth Day Canadapresident Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware, theywant to find ways to reduce their environmental influence, not just celebrate onespecial event.“Earth Day is a great launching_pad for thinking about environmental action every day，”said Goldberg. “Choosing healthier options, even for the short term, can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”That's the rea son behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign. It's designedto encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet. It challenges everyoneto help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.“We wanted to plan an actiontargeted campaign that will give people a chance to acton their concern for the environment in a positive way，” said Goldberg.The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmentalsavings. They include pledging (保证) to turn off the TV, give up the use of poisonouscleaners, reduce consumption of consumer products and cut out meat.At the end of April, all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) intothe number of TV hours not watched, dollars not spent on unnecessary items, electricitysaved, greenhouse gas emissions (排放) avoided by cutting out meat, and poisonouschemicals produced from homes and landfills.“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance todo something that is meaningful and measurable，” said Goldberg.文章大意：4月22日是世界地球日，活动“Give It Up for Earth Day”倡导人们在地球日这一天为保护环境做一些有意义、行之有效的事情。

(2013·南昌市二模，C)“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected，”the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risk ing negative consequences that we can't yet quantify.”The change was big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton, the base of the marine ecosystem.Warmblooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records. This is not the first time this has happened in Earth's history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a long time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.文章大意：本文是一篇科普说明文。

(2013·合肥市二模，D)It is a tall tale that terrifies most young children. Swallow a piece of chewing gumand it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested. An even worse tale is that swallowed gum can wrap itself around your heart.But what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? Chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring. The gum base is pretty indigestible—it is a mixture of different ingredients (成分) that our body can't absorb.Most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods. However, your digestive system has another way to deal with thingsyou swallow. After all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. They keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut (肠子) and come out at the other end one or two days later.The saliva (唾液) in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soonas we put it in our mouths. It might get through the shell but many of gum's base ingredients are indigestible. It's then down to our stomach muscles—which contract and relax, much like the way an earthworm moves—to slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.Swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short timecan cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adults—but this is extremely rare.文章大意：本文为一篇科普类说明文。

A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation.There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation.The telephone used to connect you to the absent.Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent.Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction.With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation(疏远) index goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore.Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.I am not against modern technology.I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voicemail system, and an email account.Giving t hem up isn't wise, they're a great help to us.It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.More and more, I find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn' t really have time to talk.The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier, or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts. So I've put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cellphoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home. 1．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.The Advance of Communications TechnologyB.The Consequences of Modern TechnologyC.The Story of the Communications RevolutionD.The Automation of Modern Communications2．The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _________. A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone callB．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside youC．modern technology makes it hard for people to have a facetoface talkD．people can now go to work without going to the office3．The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________.A．satisfying B．encouragingC．disappointing D．embarrassing4．The passage implies that ________.A．modern technology is bridging peopleB．modern technology is separating peopleC．modern technology is developing too fastD．modern technology is interrupting our communication5．What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?A．加深 B．限制 C．帮助 D．装备【要点综述】本文主要论述现代技术的消极影响——现代技术的使用在疏远人与人之间的距离。

In the mid1950s，I was a somewhat bored earlyado lescent male student who believed that doing_any_more_than_necessary_was_wasted_effort.One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment.In Mrs.Totten's eighthgrade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数)．Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day.On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.When Mrs.Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I (I)didn't get anything，”I answered，and my face felt warm.“Correct，”she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework.Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters.Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one. 1．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A．It is wise to value one's time.B．It is important to make an effort.C．It is right to stick to one's belief.D．It is enough to do the necessary.2．Usually，Mrs.Totten asked her students to ________.A．recite their homework togetherB．grade their homework themselvesC．answer their homework questions orallyD．check the answers to their homework questions3．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.A．asked questions in a regular wayB．walked up and down when asking questionsC．chose two or three questions for the studentsD．requested her students to finish their usual questions4．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________. A．the class didn't begin as usualB．several students didn't come to schoolC．he didn't try hard to make his estimateD．Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．An Unforgettable Teacher B．A Future MathematicianC．An Effective Approach D．A Valuable Lesson答案：【语篇解读】本文为记叙文。

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 places to visit” to “100 books toread”. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of “101 things not to do”：Swim with Dolphins(海豚)?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities.However,not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screamingand pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loadedwith tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨)．Here's a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just openingtheir mouths.Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visitthe lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying,standing in front of you; holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact,it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for securityreasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15seconds at most.If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be laughing.So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 ThingsNOT to Do Before You Die. Visit and buy the book at a 20% discount.1. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins ________.A. is the world's most popular tourist activityB. gives fun to both tourists and dolphinsC. will make tourists busy and tiredD. can cause danger to dolphins2. What does the author think about going to see Mona Lisa?A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.B. It is not as satisfying as expected.C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.3. The list of “101 th ings not to do” is made most probably because its author ________.A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other listsB. believes other lists are not humorous enoughC. intends to persuade people to read more listsD．wants to provide a list different from other lists4. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advertise a book.B. To introduce a website.C. To comment on popular lists.D. To recommend tourist activities.【要点综述】该篇短文前面否定“100 lists to do”的种种弊端，最后推出自己的101 Things NOT to DoBefore You Die，很明显是一则常见的广告。

(2015·青岛市二模)I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my w allet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.文章大意：《微笑》是法国作家安东尼·圣艾修伯里的作品，圣艾修伯里是名飞行员，二次大战对抗纳粹时被击落身亡，之前他也曾参加西班牙内战打击法西斯分子。

Many people believe Henry Ford invented the automobile (汽车)．But Henry Ford did not start to build his first car until 1896.That was eleven years after two Germans developed the world's first automobile.Many people believe Henry Ford invented the production line that moved a car's parts to the worker，instead of making the worker move to the parts.That is not true，either.Many factory owners used methods of this kind before Ford.What Henry Ford did was to use other people's ideas and make them better.And he made the whole factory a moving production line.In the early days of the automobile，almost every car maker raced his cars.It was the best way of gaining public notice.Henry Ford decided to build a racing car.Ford's most famous race was his first one.It was also the last race in which he drove the car himself.The race was in 1901，at a field near Detroit.All of the most famous cars had entered, but only two were left：the Winton and Ford's.The Winton was famous for its speed.Most people thought the race was over before it began.The Winton took an early lead.But halfway through the race, it began to lose power.Ford started to gain.And near the end of the race, he took the lead.Ford won the race and defeated the Winton.His name appeared in newspapers and he became wellknown all over the United States.Within weeks of the race, Henry Ford formed a new automobile company.In 1903, a doctor in Detroit bought the first car from the company.That_sale wa s the beginning of Henry Ford's dream.Ford said: “I will build a motor car for the great mass of people.It will be large enough for the family, but small enough for one person to operate and care for.It will be built of the best materials.It will be built by the best men to be employed.And it will be built with the simplest plans that modern engineering can produce.It will be so low in price that no man making good money will be unable to own one.”The Model T was a car of that kind.It only cost $850.It was a simple machine that drivers could depend on.Doctors bought the Model T．So did farmers.Even criminals. They considered it the fastest and surest form of transportation.Americans loved the Model T．They wrote stories and songs about it.Thousands of Model T's were built in the first few years.本文记叙了亨利福特充分利用别人的想法，生产出了自己的汽车，形成了自己的生产流水线。

Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a Londo n subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what, yo u ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone s creen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-bo oks and music aren’t enou gh to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each otherB．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbedC．they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films3．The under lined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhoneC．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsC．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling timeD．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London1.B细节理解题。

(2013·南京市二模，A)Dear Sir，I was surprised to read your recent editorial on the question of students' parttime jobs. You appear to be making lots of general comments on the basis of just one unfortunate case (I assure you that not all young people who deliver newspapers are as foolish and dishonest as the two youths mentioned in your article, and one single-case is not strong enough in supporting a point as evidence. I think you wouldn't disagree with me at this point)．The first point I would like to make is that there are many jobs teenagers can do which give them useful experience of the working world. They are brought into contact with a variety of people, often older, and are given experience of expressing themselves clearly and logically. Every young man will eventually be involved in social net work, and we can't expect them to act as a mature adult once they step out of school. I am thinking here of jobs such as travel guides and shop assistants. Parttime jobs are actually a kind of guiding that young people need before they play their role in real career.Another argument for school children and college students having holiday or weekend jobs is that many parents need the financial assistance. If we take, for example, a family in which the father is unemployed or perhaps a singleparent family on a low income, it seems logical and fair that a son or daughter should try to bring money into the household. And I think it's also an education to young people what family responsibility is and what one should do in terms of showing their care and love. One further thing I want to say is that a lot of jobs for the young can be fun for the people who do them and also useful to the community. Youngsters who help in schools, hospitals and with the elderly often gain a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction as well as contributing something valuable to local society. And the experience will make young people feel their value in our society so that they will be more eager to learn and more willing to offer their help.In conclusion, I would add that when I was a girl, my father said my teens were a time for books, hobbies and academic studies. Thinking back, I feel I would have learnt much more—about myself, other people and life in general—if he had allowed me to do a limited amount of real work. Certainly, when she is old enough, I shall encouragemy own daughter to do so, rather than waste her time with soap operas, computer games and discos, like so many young people today. I don't mean having fun is a waste of time. I just want to point out that fun and parttime jobs could be balanced. Yours faithfully，Margaret Williams文章大意：本文是写给报社编辑的一封信。

“I didn't hear them call my name，” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen US A 2004. “Are you ready？”is what she heard.Then she said，“I shook my head no，and then they said ‘yes’and it was announced again.”It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana-she was still on_cloud_nine.“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen. ”Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher. Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there，AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛). “She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, “I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot，a lot...”As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving，in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way，it is easy to be yourself.”人生要经历许多苦难，但不管怎样都要勇敢面对，不能让任何人改变你自己。

(2013·西宁市质检一，D)If you feel at present that you don't have enough friends in your life, one reason may be that you have let yourself become too busy to make time for the relationships you already have. Starting and keeping friendship requires effort and commitment. Many of us let our lives become so busy with work and other commitments that we don't get around to scheduling time for pleasure and renewal with the friends, relatives and acquaintances we already have.Making the effort to call your friends more regularly and to accept more of the invitations you receive from others can improve your social life in a hurry!Are there any people you could call right now and be assured of a pleasant welcome? Are there people that you could count on to help you in time of difficulty? Can you have close talks with them? Do you have fun when you are together? Are you happy to have them in your life?If you haven't seen much of them lately, is it because you have become too busy? Have you grown apart? Was there an argument?If the main reason why you haven't been getting together with the people you already know is that you have gotten too busy, take a good look at how you spend your time. Compare it with your real values and priorities in life. Is your busy lifestyle really bringing you the quality of life that you want?If you have become too busy for friends, why has this happened? Are you seeking material toys in your life at the expense of relationships with other human beings? Have you allowed your time to be over committed because you never say “No” to anyone? Do you insist on doing things yourself that could be left to others? If so, why? Do you believe that everything depends on you?Examine whether the way you are now spending your time accurately reflects your deepest values and priorities. Make sure that you schedule adequate time for the things that are truly most important to you.If you really want to keep friends in your life, make a space in your schedule, and a space in your heart for them.文章大意：本文是一篇议论文。

(2013·吉林省长春市高中毕业班第一次调研测试)When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?Parents who take their young children to music，swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day.But it doesn’t have to be that way.Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way，especially if you do it through a class or an event.When parent and child become students together，it puts them on the same level，at least for a while.“I real ly like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they’re doing and what th ey like，” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.However，finding something new in common is a big choice for them，especially when kids get involved in sports and other afterschool activities.But it’s possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.That’s cert ainly true of Lauren,11，from Silver Spring，who is in Dixon’s class with her father，Dennis.“I was just going to drop her off，” Dennis said，“but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework.“He always leaves it to the last minute，” she said.“But then he’ll turn around to do amazing drawings，” she added.“We have different styles of drawing，so it’s interesting to talk it over with him.”Without the Saturday morning art class，Dennis said，he would be reading the paper，and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer.But they talk more now.“I can’t think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，” he said.1．The author raises the question at the beginning to________.A．expect an answer B．criticize some parentsC．introduce the topic D．support his argument2．What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together? A．They will become equal.B．They will communicate more.C．The child will learn art much better.D．The parent will learn something new.3．The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means________.A．urge B．helpC．ignore D．teach4．We can learn from the text that________.A．Lauren used to talk a lot with her fatherB．Dennis enjoys studying art with LaurenC．Lauren dislikes her father’s drawingsD．Dennis likes playing computer games【参考答案】阅读理解语篇解读父母应与孩子一起参与有意义的活动，通过和孩子一起学习、运动等，可以增加与孩子交流的机会，从而增进感情。

Exploit your parking spaceAn unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to ￡200 or ￡300 a week. Put an advertisement(广告)for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.Rent(出租)a roomSpare room? Not only will a lodger(房客)earn you an income, but also, thanks to the governmentbacked “rent a room” program, you won't have to pay any tax on the first ￡4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.Make money during special eventsDon't want a ful ltime lodger? Then rent on a shortterm basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.Live on setRenting your hom e out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed. A quick search on the Internet will bring up dozens of online companies that allow you to register your home for free—but you will be charged if your home gets picked.Use your roofYou need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment(around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25year agreement with the supplier, which could prevent you from changing the roof.如果你拥有自己的多余的房子，房间或停车场，如果你按照作者告诉你的上述做法去做，会轻松地挣到大钱。

（2016高考训练）阅读下列材料，从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项。
体裁：记叙文话题：人与自然词数：675 时间：6′My story is from my college days.One of my geology professors got me involved in mountain climbing.Since he and I climbed at roughly the same pace, we made perfect companions on the trail.On one trip, we hooked up with the Colorado Mountain Club to climb Mount Massive, the second highest mountain in Colorado and fourth highest in the Lower 48 states.The day started out great.It was a beautiful sunny day.The CMC folks decided they wanted to take an “alternate” route up the mounta in rather than the established trail.The alternate route was straight up the west (steep) side.CMC is synonymous with mountain goat.Most of these folks scurried up the mountain like most people climb a set of stairs at the mall.Carl and I were a bit slower, quite a bit slower.We made it to the summit(山顶)around noon, feeling like I was a 70yearold man with emphysema.For those who have experienced the joys of the air(or lack thereof) above 14，000 feet, you know what I'm talking about.We sat down and ate lunch admiring the spectacular view along with a half dozen other climbers.By 1：00 we decided it was past time to vacate the top of the mountain.Those familiar with the Rockies know that between 1：00 and 2：00 every afternoon, thunderstorms roll across the mountains.Being 3，000 plus feet above timberline, people are the tallest standing thing and make great lightning rods(避雷针)．Every year several people are killed by lightning in the high country.Just the day before, a climber was killed on Mt.Elbert, the next mountain over, so you can imagine our anxiety.We could see the thunderheads building to the west, ready to seek out their hapless prey(猎物)．It was time to get the heck off the top of the mountain fast.One climber opted (选择) to boot ski down the snowcovere d east cirque.I didn't think it was a great idea but he quickly made it to the bottom some 2，500 feet below in mere seconds.Seemed like a good idea right? Wrong! While my climbing partner Carl opted for the trail, I prepared for my snowy descent.I took three steps into the snow and whoosh, I slipped on the ice layer under the snow and slid under the snow.Now completely soaked with melt water, I could only crawl on my hands and knees to the dry rock above. By the time I made it out, I was out of options.The thunderstorms were approaching fast and all I could do was try and make myself flat against the mountain.Realizing almost too late that being the good geologist that I was, I had a rock hammer, camera, and who knows what other metal objects in my backpack, which sounded like good lightning rod material to me, I quickly took off my pack and threw it as far away as I could.I then lay down on my back and tried to sink into the mountain as far as I could.I could hear the lightning striking the back of the mountain.The frequent loud report of the thunder marched even closer.It started to rain, and soon the rain turned to sleet.Normally this would not be a real big deal except that my nice warm rain jacket was cleverly tucked away in the backpack I just threw some 30 feet away.Already cold from being soaked with ice water, I dared not move.Just then the lightning arrived.Bolt after bolt was striking the mountain around me with instantaneous explosions of the thunder.The storm moved across and the bolts of lightning were striking far below me now.I waited until I was certain the storm was truly past.I looked over and saw what really got me.There about a halfmile down the trail, I could see my climbing partner snug and warm beneath a rock overhang he had found to wait out the storm.I gathered my pack and headed down the trail to catch up with him.We had a few laughs about it and I realized that with age does come great wisdom!【语篇解读】本文为一篇记叙文。
