阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中,选出最佳选项。

Reading poems is not exactly an everyday activity for most pe ople. In fact, many people never read a poem once they get o ut of high school.It is worth reminding ourselves that this has not always been t he case in America. In the nineteenth century, a usual Americ an activity was to sit around the fireside in the evening and re ad poems aloud. It is true that there was no television at the ti me, nor movie theaters, nor World Wide Web, to provide diver sion. However, poems were a source of pleasure, of self-education, of connection to other people or to the world beyon d one’s own community. Reading them was a social act as we ll as an individual one, and perhaps even more social than ind ividual. Writing poems to share with friends and relations was, like reading poems by the fireside, another way in which poet ry has a place in everyday life.How did things change? Why are most Americans no longer c omfortable with poetry, and why do most people today think th at a poem has nothing to tell them and that they can do well without poems?There are, I believe, three culprits(肇事者):poets, teachers, and we ourselves. Of these, the least importa nt is the third: the world surrounding the poem has betrayed u s more than we have betrayed the poem. Early in the twentiet h century, poetry in English headed into directions unfavorabl e to the reading of poetry. Readers decided that poems were not for the fireside or the easy chair at night, that they belonge d where other difficult-to-read things belonged.Poets failed the reader, so did teachers. They want their stud ents to know something about the skills of a poem, they want their students to see that poems mean something. Yet what u sually occurs when teachers push these concerns on their hig h school students is that young people decide poems are unpl easant crossword puzzles.1. Reading poems is thought to be a social act in the nineteen th century because .A. it built a link among peopleB. it helped unite a communityC. it was a source of self-educationD. it was a source of pleasure2. The underlined word “diversion”(in Paragraph 2) most prob ably means “”.A. concentrationB. changeC. amusementsD. stories3. According to the passage, what is the main cause of the gr eat gap between readers and poetry?A. Students are becoming less interested in poetry.B. Students are poorly educated in high school.C. TV and the Internet are more attractive than poetry.D. Poems have become difficult to understand.4. In the last paragraph, the writer questions .A. the difficulty in studying poemsB. the way poems are t aught in schoolC. students’ wrong ideas about poetryD. the techniques used in writing poems1、答案解析:答案为A。

Smog has affected Beijing for at least a week and the Great Hall of the People,where lawmakers will meet next week for the country’s parliamentary session(人大会议), is hardly visible。

Much of north and central China,or one—seventh of the country,was covered in it over the weekend.Responses have included reduced industrial activities,a ban on fireworks and barbecues, raised pollution alerts and reduced vehicles travelling on the roads. Citizens are advised to stay indoors while schools have either stopped classes or suspended outdoor activities.And Chinese officials,after a long period of prioritizing economic development over environmental protection, are now likely to see their future career shaped by how effectively they handle the serious pollution.“Even as a foreigner,I know the pollution has a lot to do with too much focus on economic indicators(指标)in evaluating Chinese officials,” said Florian Kessler,an executive(执行的)director with German law firm WZR Consulting。

At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have. I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nin e o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut.That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks.If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret, then that’s what I was going to get.All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans(孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, “I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?” I asked him, with a big smi le on my face. “Let’s just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her “No”. Then he told me theywere not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts. Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.1.In the author’s eyes, Elvis Presley was _________.A. disgustingB. admirableC. ambitiousD. dynamic2. From the passage, we can know that _________.A. Buster Brown was more appealing than Elvis PresleyB. An Elvis hair cut cost the orphans a lot of moneyC. The author was fascinated with the stars Buster and ElvisD.

AIt is obvious that doctors recognize obesity as a health problem. So why is it so hard for them to talk to their patients about it?The results of two surveys, one of primary care physicians and the other of patients, found that while most doctors want to helppatients lose weight and think it is their responsibility to do so, they often don’t know what to say.“So while doctors may tell patients they are overweight, the convers ation often ends there,” said Christine C. Ferguson, director of the Stop Obesity Alliance. “Patients are not told about the possibility of diabetes (a kind of disease),” she said. “And doctors don’t feel they have good information to give. They felt that they didn’t have adequate tools to address this problem.The lack of dialogue hurts patients, too. The patient survey, of over 1,000 adults, found that most overweight patients don’t even know that they’re too heavy. Only 39 percent of overweight people surveyed had ever been told by a health care provider that they were overweight.Of those who were told they were obese, 90 percent were alsotold by their doctors to lose weight, the survey found. In fact most have tried to lose weight and may have been successful in the past—and many are still trying, the survey found. And many understand that losing even a small amount of weight can have a positive impact on their health and reduce their risk of obesity­related diseases like hypertension and diabetes.Dr. William Bestermann Jr., medical director of Holston Medical Group, in Kingsport, Tenn. , which ranks the 10th in obesity among metropolitan areas in the United States, said the dialogue had to be anongoing one and could not be dropped after just one mention of the problem. “If you’re to be successful with helping your patients lose weight, you have to talk to them at actually every visit about their progress, and find something to encourage them and coach them,” he said.He acknowledged that many doctors tend to be not optimistic.“Part of this is that there's this common belief, and doctors are burdened by it, too, that overweight people are weak-willed and just don’t have any willpower and are self­indulgent and all that business,” he said. “If you think that way, you’re not going to spend time having a productive conversation.”1. What is the Stop Obesity Alliance most probably in Paragraph 3?A. An organization of doctors specializing in obesity.B. An organization of patients suffering from obesity.C. A research group that conducts special surveys about overweight people.D. A research group dealing with doctor-patient relationship.2. How many of the patients surveyed have been advised by their doctors to lose weight?A. About 350.B. About 390.C. About 900.D. About 1,000.3. What can be inferred about obesity patients in Paragraph 5?A. They are not as hopeless as doctors think they are.B. Most of them have tried hard to lose weight, but in vain.C. Without their doct ors’ constant coaching, there is little chance of their succeeding in losing weight.D. Most of them have just given up their hope of becoming less heavy.4. According to the passage, which factor contributes to the lack of dialogue between doctors and patients?A. Most doctors just never think of warning their patients about their weight problem.B. Many doctors find it difficult to persuade overweight people to lose weight.C. Most patients are too weak-willed to do anything about their weight.D. Many patients tend not to trust their doctors about their weight problem.5. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Obesity in the U. S.B. Trouble of overweight Americans.C. Talk more, help better.D. Doctors or patients-who to bear more blame?BThe cultural and natural values of Kakadu National Park were recognized internationally when the Park was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This is an international register of properties that are recognized as having outstanding cultural or natural values of international significance. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia and is the second largest national park in the world. Kakaduis a biological wonderland, which is almost 8,000 square miles. The wildlife in Kakadu National Park includes over 280 kinds of birds, 60 kinds of native mammals, 55 kinds of freshwater fish, thousands of insects, and many reptiles, the most famous of which is the salt-water crocodile. All life in the park depends on water.Kakadu is not only home to the wildlife but the area is also famous for the longest continuous human culture that exists in the world. Aborigines have been living in this area for at least 40,000 years. The descendants(后裔) of these First Australians still live in Kakadu today. Kakadu contains one of the longest continuous records of rock art in the world, with around 5,000 paintings, with rock sites dating back 25,000 years. More than 1,000 sites have been recorded. Kakadu has been given double World Heritage status by the United Nations. It is one of only 17 of the 469 World heritage Areas listed for both natural and cultural values.It is Australia’s largest national park, but it isn’t just the size that surprises visitors—it is the sense of something very old and grand. Creation of the 500 km escarpment (悬崖) began 2,000 million years ago. Today those gorges are filled with rainforests, washed by waterfalls.Kakadu is one of the world’s special places. It is hard to pick the ideal time to visit Kakadu. In the wet season large areas of the park are closed to the public. It would not be possible to enter or exit from the park through the Kakadu Highway. Most of the people there agree that the best time to visit is at the end of the dry season. Some areas of Kakadu have restricted visiting times, and some are not open to the general public. Over 230 000 tourists visit Kakadu National Park every year. As you enter Kakadu National Park, you will be required to buy a permit. Part of this money is paid to the Traditional Owners of the land and the rest is given to the repairs of the park.6. Why does the author mention so much wildlife in Paragraph 1?A. To represent the scene of the nature.B. To attract readers’ attention.C. To take the wildlife for example.D. To show the value of the park.7. Kakadu is given double World Heritage status by the United Nations because of _____.A. the descendants of these First Australians still in Kakadu todayB. the particular environment and the unusual rock artC. the longest continuous human culture that exists in the worldD. Aborigines living in this area for at least 40,000 years8. The followings are mentioned in the passage except _____.A. living things in KakaduB. the escarpment and the gorgesC. the history of the parkD. the weather of the area9. The underlined word gorges in Paragraph 3 means _____.A. narrow valleys between hills or mountainsB. buildings where cases are determinedC. large and open structures for sports eventsD. places where something is located10. What does the author advise visitors to do when they go to Kakadu?A. To get more information about the special place.B. To make a better choice between the wet and dry season.C. Not to enter the national park without permission.D. Not to go there through the Kakadu Highway.C(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.Some doctors now think that the internal fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits of internal fat, even if they are slim.Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturallystore fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.11. What is this piece of news mainly about?A. Thin people may be fat inside.B. Internal fat is of no importance.C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.D. Thin people also have troubles.12. Doctors have found _____.A. the exact dangers of internal fatB. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetesC. being slim is not dangerous at allD. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside13. According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.14. From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been provedB. exercise plays in important role in people’s life for keeping healthyC. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slimD. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat15. The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.A. a long roadB. an easy wayC. a clear differenceD. a short distanceDFor years, there has been a bias(偏见)against science among clinical psychologists. In a two-year analysis to be published in November in Perspectives on Psychological Science, psychologists led by Timothy B. Baker of the University of Wisconsin charge that manyclinical psychologists fail to “provide the treatments for which there is the strongest evidence of effectiveness” and “give more weight to thei r personal experiences than to science.” As a result, patients have no guarantee that their “treatment will be informed by …science.” Walter Mischel of Columbia University is even crueler in his judgment. “The disconnect between what clinical psychologists do and what science has discovered is an extreme embarrassment,” he told me, and “there is a widening gap between clinical practice and science.”The “widening” reflects the great progress that psychological research has made in identifying the most effective treatments. Thanks to strict clinical trials, we now know that teaching patients to think about their thoughts in new, healthier ways and to act on those new ways of thinking are effective against depression, panic disorder and other problems, with multiple trials showing that these treatments—the tools of psychology—bring more lasting benefits than drugs.You wouldn’t know this if you sought help from a typicalclinical psychologist. Although many treatments are effective,relatively few psychologists learn or practice them.Why in the world not? For one thing, says Baker, clinical psychologists are “very doubtful about the role of science” and “lack solid science training”. Also, one third of patients get better no matter what treatment (if any) they have, “and psychologists rememberthese successes, believing, wrongly, that they are the result of the treatment.”When faced with evidence that treatments they offer are not supported by science, clinical psychologists argue that they know better than some study that works. A 2008 study of 591 psychologists in private practice found that they rely more on their own and colleagues’ experience than on science when deciding how to treat a patient. If they keep on this path as insurance companies demand evidence-based medicine, warns Mischel, psychology will “discredit itself.”16. Many clinical psychologists fail to provide the most effective treatments because _____.A. they are unfamiliar with their patientsB. they believe in science and evidenceC. they depend on their colleagues’ helpD. they rely on their personal experiences17. The widening gap between clinical practice and science is due to _____.A. the cruel judgment by Walter MischelB. the fact that most patients get better after being treatedC. the great progress that has been made in psychological researchD. the fact that patients prefer to take drugs rather than have other treatments18. How do clinical psychologists respond when charged thattheir treatments are not supported by science?A. They feel embarrassed.B. They try to defend themselves.C. They are disappointed.D. They doubt their treatments.19. In Mischel’s opinion, psychology will ______.A. destroy its own reputation if no improvement is madeB. develop faster with the support of insurance companiesC. work together with insurance companies to provide better treatmentD. become more reliable if insurance companies won’t demand evidence-based medicine20. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To show the writer’s disapproval of clinical psychologists.B. To inform the readers of the risks of psychological treatments.C. To explain the effectiveness of treatments by clinical psychologists.D. To introduce the latest progress of medical treatment in clinical psychology.参考答案1—5 BAABC 6—10 DBCAB11—15 ADDBB 16—20 DCBAA。

Music lessons in early childhood bring about changes in the brain that could improve its performance far into adulthood, re searchers say.Brain scans of young adults showed those who had formal musical t raining before sevenhad thicker brain areas dealing with hearing and self-awareness .The findings note how brain development can be influenced by the age when children start to learn a musical instrument , and how those changes can continue into later life."Early musical training benefits kids more than just making t hem enjoy music. It changesthe brain, which could bring about cognitive advances as well,"said Yunxin Wang of Beijing Normal University.“Our re sults s uggest it’s better to start musical training before seven, which agrees with what most piano teachers recommend,” she added. She hoped the results might help parents decide when was the best for their children to learn an instrument. The brai n’s co rtex(皮层) plays a leading role in one’s abilities, from thought and language to memory and attention. The area matures rapidly in the early years of life, and its development could be affected more if a person starts musical training before it fully matures.Wang studied 48 Chinese students aged between 19 and 21 who had received formal music training for at least a year sometime between the ages of 3 and 15. Each had a scan to measure the thickness of the brain’s cortex.After considering sex and the number of years spent having music lessons, Wang found that musical training that started before seven appeared to thicken areas of the brain involved in language skills and executive function, which is a person’sability to plan and accomplish tasks.“We’re not sure why these changes occur, but a reasonable explanation is that early starters might depend more on hearing clues(线索) when learning music, since it might be more difficult for younger children to read music,” Wang said.1. According to the researchers, musical training before the age of seven can _______________.A. contribute to future work.B. create a successful lifeC. develop all-round abilitiesD. deal with puzzling problem2. When conducting the research with the students, Wang __________.A. tested their language abilitiesB. watched their musical performancesC. focused on school behavior and achievementsD. measured the thickness of the brain’s cortex3. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _____________.A. it must be hard for kids to read musicB. kids are more likely to learn music by hearingC. Wang’s explanation has been the most reasonableD. Wang will research into the reasons for the brain change4. For what purpose does the author write the text?A. To describe the development of brain.B.

D 因tell the truth与lying相对,而与always相对地应是never.7. A 由常识可知,坚持自己地观点地人有时也会“惹上麻烦”.“上台(get into power>”与语境不符,“坐牢(get into prison>”似乎也是可能发生地,但可能言重了.8. D 由下面地例子可知,有时很难“严格地”区分正确与错误.9.

Then he took ___25___ off, gave a b ig smile and said “That is cool”.16. wearing 因已有谓语动词appeared,动词wear前又没有并列连词,即wear不是并列谓语,它应是非谓语动词,作状语,表示伴随情况;又因he与wear是主动关系,故用现在分词.17. had bought 在主格人称代词he后,显然是作谓语;又因他不可是买下了这个学校,故应用虚拟语气,与过去事实相反,故填had bought.18. pleased 在系动词felt后作表语,用形容词,表示“高兴地”.19. the 特指最后地那一排,或在序数词前,用定冠词.20. Although /Though 因he thought…与he was wrong是两个句子,且两者之间没有关联词,必定是填关联词;根据两句之间地逻辑关系,应填表示让步地“尽管,虽然”.21. harder 作宾补依然是要用形容词,所以不作词类转换,可考虑比较级;句中a little修饰比较级harder,表示“更难一点”.22. which 引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子.23. for 表示某个动词或状态延续了多久,用“for +时间段”.24. what 引导宾语从句并在从句中作do地宾语,故用连接代词.25. them 代替前面地those glasses,作took off地宾语,用人称代词地宾格.Ⅱ阅读理解<共两节,满分50分)第一节阅读理解<共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给地A、B、C、D和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑.A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless. Whe n my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调> with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say “oh, you may have a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, thewaitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.26. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.28. By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may _____.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you29. According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a n iceday”_______.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as ahabit D. encouragingly30. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom.B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture.C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting.D. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation.本文主要介绍了人们相互之间常说“Have a nice day”这一习惯.26. B 细节理解题.由第一段最后两句可知,特别是“cares about me and wishes me well”等字眼.27. D 句意理解题.由第二段最后一句可知.28. A 细节理解题.由第四段可知,特别是“has tried to be nice to you”最为明显.29. C 深层理解题.由第一句(特别是custom一词>和最后一段地最后两句(While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.>可知,人们常说“Have a nice day”已成为一种习惯了.30. A 主旨大意题.由最后一段,特别是该段地第一句(特别是custom一词>可知.BI have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar leve l lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King, who was against feeding in the night. I’ve nev er heard anything so ridiculous.Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according tothe clock. By the age of 8, their IQ<智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample<样本)of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.31. According to Paragraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.A. sickB. upsetC. sleepyD. hungry32. What does the author think about Dr King?A. He is strict.B. He is unkind.C. He has the wrong idea.D. He sets a timetable for mothers.33. The word “copper-bottomed” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.A. basicB. reliableC.surprising D. interesting34. What does the research tell us about feeding a baby on demand?A. The baby will sleep well.B. The baby will have its brain harmed.C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.35. The author supports deeding the baby_______.A. in the nightB. every four hoursC. whenever it wants foodD. according to its blood sugar level本文是典形地议论文,“总——分——总”模式.论点:是“反对定时喂养婴儿”;论据:1.我们不知道婴儿地血糖所处地情况2.定期喂养地危害 3.实验结论,按需喂养较定时喂养地孩子更聪明;结论:希望结束定时喂养地习惯.31. D 细节理解题.由第二段最后一句“The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth”可知.32. C 推理判断题.由第三段第三句I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous ( 荒谬可笑地>以及本文最后一句可知.33. B 词义猜测题.由第四段地具体描述可知.34. D 细节理解题.由第四段第三句“By the age of 8, their IQ<智商)scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable”可知.35. C 由本文地第一句(I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly>就提出观点,“反对定期喂婴儿”,最后一句(I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices>希望结束主张严格按时喂养地习惯.既然“不定期”,也就是按婴儿需要喂养,故选C.CI 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 teenager girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible 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 wasblind 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 becauseI had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, Ilet them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.36. 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 embarrassing37. 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 something38. 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 people39. 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.40. 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 there36. D 细节理解题.由本文第一句(I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known.>可知.37. C 细节理解题.由第二段前三句,特别是第三句(When it happened athird time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost>可知.38. C 细节理解题.由题干中地that evening可知,问地是“那天晚上发生地事”,即信息点应在第2和4段,因为第3段是讲通常地情况而不是当晚,所以A和B两个选项就很容易排除了.根据第2段最后一句No one else was there可知,当晚只有她一个人在那等车,都没有人在身边,怎么可能被人注意到呢?据此可排除D;根据第4段中地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 for half an hour without stopping one.可知,特别用地是过去完成时<had given up),可见她怕拦错车,出洋相,早就放弃努力自己拦车了,因此当晚她并没有努力去拦车,因此,选项C正确.39. B 推理判断题.由Sometimes I would stop a big lorry可知,靠声音来判断有时是靠不住地.40. A 推理判断题.从I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself可知,她本人不想拦车了,又由managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help可知,她是决定找人帮忙了,而在本站没有人,去下一站当然就是希望在那里可以找到人帮忙.申明:所有资料为本人收集整理,仅限个人学习使用,勿做商业用途.。

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the mod ern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbol ic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark building, ships and other vehicles related to a country. The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primiti ve artifact. It is , rather, the product of thousands of years’ dev elopment. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause hig h waves that endangered travelers. People’s food supplies we re similarly vulnerable (易受损害的). Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore t hey feared and depended on the power of the wind, which co uld bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. Th e connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore re asonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cl oth to the tops of totems (图腾)before carrying them into battle. They believed that the po wer of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the god s and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The fi rst known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked: The king o f China around 1008 B.C. was known to have a white flag carr ied ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that i t spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lan ds, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ances tor of the national flag.1. The best title for the passage would be_________________A. Uses of FlagsB. Power of the National FlagC. Type of FlagsD. Development of the National Fla g2. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power bec ause_____________A. they could tell wind directionB. they could bring good luck to fightersC. they were believed to stand for natural forces.D. they were handed down by the ancestors3. What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He believes it was made in Egypt.C. He doubts where it startedD. He thinks it came from China.4. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The second ancestor of the national flag.B. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.参考答案1-4 DCCA黑龙江省大庆市喇中2016高考英语阅读练习——新闻报道类NEW YORK-Australian mining enterprise Clive Palmer on Tuesday unveile d(公布)blueprints for TitanicⅡ, a modern copy of the doomed ocean liner, although he didn't call the ship unsinkable any more. The ship will largely recreate the design and decoration of t he fabled original, with some modifications to keep it in line wi th current safety rules and shipbuilding practices, and the addi tion of some modern comforts such as air conditioning, Palme r said at a press conference in New York.The three passenger classes, however, will be prevented fr om mingling(混杂), as in 1912, Palmer said. “I'm not too superstitious(迷信的).”Palmer said when asked whether recreating a ship bestk nown for sinking was tempting fate.White Star Line, the operator of the original ship, had said the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable. About 1, 500 people di ed on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912 from Southampton to New York after the ship collided with an iceberg in the North A tlantic.Palmer, who created the company Blue Star Line last year, refused to make a similar boast.“Anything will sink if you put a hole in it, ” Palmer said. “I thi nk it would be very cavalier to say it.”Unlike the original, TitanicⅡwill have more than enough spa ce in its lifeboats for every person on board and will have addi tional escape staircases. Markku Kanerva, sales director at D eltamarin, the Finnish company designing the ship, said it would be the “safest cruise ship in the world”.Palmer refused to answer questions about the project's cost. Although the Titanic was the world's largest ship in her time, s he would be smaller than many of today's modern cruise ship s.“It’s not about the money,” Palmer said. “I've got enough money for it. I think that’s all that matters.”Forbes estimated Palmer's net worth to be $795 million in 2 012.He describes himself as a billionaire.TitanicⅡw ill be built by Chinese state-owned CSC Jinling Shipyard, which has already built four ore carriers for Palmer’s mining business, he said. The contract to build TitanicⅡhas not yet been signed, Palmer said.【小题1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “maiden” in Parag raph 4?A.First. B.Trial. C.Second. D.Last.【小题2】What can be inferred about TitanicⅡfrom the passage? A.TitanicⅡwill have more space in its lifeboats than the Titani c.B.TitanicⅡwill be the largest cruise ship in the world. C.TitanicⅡwill allow different classes of passengers to mingle.D.TitanicⅡwill be a real unsinkable cruise ship.【小题3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the p assage?A.1, 500 people died on Titanic’s maiden voyage in 1912. B.The Titanic collided with an iceberg in the South Pacific. C.The Titanic was equipped with air conditioning.D.The Titanic was the world’s largest ship at that time.【小题4】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A.To tell us the story of the Titanic.B.To tell us TitanicⅡwill cost a lot of money.C.To tell us about the future TitanicⅡ.D.To tell us a Chinese Shipyard will build TitanicⅡ.阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

广东海康县 2017 高考英语阅读理解一轮系列阅读以下四篇短文,从每题后所给的A,B,C 或 D四个选项中,选出最正确选项。

Leadership i s the most significant word in today ’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personalabilities and style. Experts on l eadership will quickly point out that“how things get done ” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and awrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase “Management is doing th ings right;leadership is doing the right things”,he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, exploredleadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great numberof highly effective individuals.His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the earlyleadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the characterethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success wasfounded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethicsuggested it was one’s attitude,not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of theseideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles ofeffectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personallymanage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential thatyou have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Businessleadership means that managers need to“put first things first,” which impliesthat before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities,and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments,according to Stephen Covey?A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.C. They can not adjust themselves.D. First personally they must manage themselves .4. What is the meaning of the underlined word“vision”?A. Bright future.B. Good beginning.C. Good scenery.D. Pretty background.5. To be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ?A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness.B. They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths.C. They must pay close attention to modesty.D. They must be concerned about courage and patience.【参照答案】 1— 5、ACDAB阅读理解。

recognition,"Pope says.He once recognized a robber whose photo he had looked at a year before,and another from a CCTV video,by a tinymole(痣)on his face.Andy Pope first attracted the attention of the media in 2017 after recognizing about 250 suspects.But according to a recent ITV report,Pope's record has improved in the last four years."I thought I was just normal until inspector Morris told me I was recognizing more people than anyone else," Pope told The Telegraph in 2017."I don't know whether I have a photographic memory.My wife has to deal with things like birthdays.When it comes to

the same.Let's take a closer look.Usually,the activities start in the late afternoon.Girls show up carrying a sleeping bag and a pillow.After all the guests arrive,it's usually time to have dinner.Even though it differs,the most common food for sleepovers is pizza.My friends and I usually go back to my room and start our crazy activities.Sometimes we have a dance party, sometimes we play games on the Internet,and other times we play role-playing games,which is my favorite thing to do as a child.My friends and I are all movie lovers,so sometimes we will pretend to be characters from a favorite movie.It's pretty clownish,but it was a very unforgettable part of my childhood.When it gets to be past one o'clock in the morning,most of the girls are sleepy already but we usually keep doing whatever we are doing.Most of us end up falling asleep at around 5.The sleepover is a great experience for girls.While theactivities are different,the feelings are still the same.We all

Australia,these specially trained littledogs protect fairy penguins from foxes.About 800 little bluepenguins,once nested on Australia's Middle Island.They are the smallest species of penguin in the world.By 2015,there were fewer than 10 left on the island.The problem started when people brought red foxes to Australiain the 1800s.The foxes made their way to Middle Island and began killing off penguins and other native wildlife.Local officials wondered what could be done.In 2014,a local farmer named Allan Marsh had an idea.He advised training Maremma sheepdogs to protect the penguins.At that time,Marsh was using the dogs on his farm to guard his chickens from foxes.Atfirst,local officials said no to the plan because they didn't think it would work.But they changed their minds when the penguins had almost completely disappeared."The powers wouldn't listen to me until it got down to six penguins,"Marsh told The New York Times.The first sheepdog went to work on Middle Island in 2016,and dogs have been on duty ever since.The dogs bark at and go after foxes to frighten them away.Thanks to the sheepdogs,the number of fairy penguins on Middle Island has increased.Today,close to 200 penguins live on the island.In fact,officials report that no penguin has been killed since the dogs were on the job.Eudy and Tula,the two dogs guarding Middle Island,are now 8 years old They are

Are you a saver or a spender?"A penny saved is a penny earned." This old saying calls attention to the wisdom of saving money. "_________________________" is another way to talk about saving for the future.People who hate to spend money are known as "tightwads," while those who like to get the most value for their money are called "thrifty." A thrifty person is different from a "spendthrift." A spendthrift is someone who spends wastefully. People like that are often said to spend money "like a drunken sailor" or "like there's no tomorrow."In the United States, people who want to start a savings account have different choices of where to put their money. These include banks and credit unions. Credit unions are cooperatives for people who have some kind of connection. For example, the members might work for a university or a government agency. Most credit unions are nonprofit organizations.Credit unions, banks and other financial institutions pay interest on savings accounts. But the interest rates are low. Certificates of deposit(存款证) pay higher returns. With a certificate of deposit, or CD, a person agrees not to withdraw the money for a certain period of time. This term could be anywhere from a few months to several years. Longer terms, and larger amounts, pay higher interest. People can withdraw their money early but they have to pay a fine.In a number of countries, people have been saving less over the years. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development is a group of thirty-four countries. The OECD says in 1990, Americans had a household savings rate of seven percent. This year, that rate is expected to be a little more than four percent and many European countries have higher rates like the UK and France , but Americans save more than families in countries like Japan and South Korea.1.Which of the following proverbs can be filled in the blank in Paragraph 2?A.Health is wealth.B.Money is a good servant but a bad masterC.Put money away for a rainy day.D.Money doesn’t grow on trees.2.If you have $10,000, which of the following may help you get higher interest ?A.Choose certificates of deposit for one year.B.Put the money in banks for one year.C.Put the money in credit unions for one year.D.Choose certificates of deposit for one year but withdraw the money ahead of time. 3.What does the passage mainly talk about ?A.Different choices of putting money away in the US.B.The importance of saving money.C.How to put money into banks.D.The household savings rate in the US.参考答案1—3、CAA2016高考训练题----阅读理解。

(主旨大意)(议论文)helps human societies survive in changing natural environment.For example, the end of the last Ice Age, beginning about 15,000 years ago, brought a big challenge to which humans had to adapt.Before this time, large parts of the northern hemisphere were covered in great sheets of ice that contained much of the earth' s water.In North America, large animals that wandered the vast tundra (冰原)provided people with food and materials for clothing and simple shelters.When the earth became warm, large Ice Age animals disappeared, and many land areas were covered by rising sea levels from melting ice.But people survived, they developed new technologies and learned how to survive on new plant and animal species.Finally some people settled into permanent villages, durable houses and farms.Cultural adaptation has made humans one of the most successful species on the planet.Through history, major developments in technology, medicine, and nutrition have allowed people to reproduce and survive in ever-increasing numbers.The global population has risen from 8 million during the Ice Age to about 6 billion today.However, the successes of culture adaptation can also create problems in the long run.Over the last 200 years, people have begun to use large quantities of natural resources and energy and to produce a great amount of material and chemical wastes.The global population now consumes some important natural resources—such as petroleum, wood, and minerals—faster than nature can produce them.Many scientists believe that in the process of burning fuels and producing wastes, people may be changing the global climate in unpredictable and possibly harmful ways.Thus, the adaptive success of the present-day global culture of production and trade may be temporary.1. What is the first paragraph mainly talking about?(主旨)A. How the human beings survived in the Ice Age.B. What the situation was like during the Ice Age.C. What caused the Ice Age to come to an end.D. Why the Ice Age was very important.2. To deal with the problems, human beings should ______according to the passage.(细节)A. stop developing any longerB. reduce the overuse of natural resourcesC. stop the global warming and using natural resourcesD. save more animals in case they all die out3. Which of the following is the problem caused by cultural adaptation according to the passage?(细节)A. A very developed culture came into being.B. New technologies have been developed.C. Natural resources have been used up.D. Human activities have done damage to the balance of nature.4. Which of the following can be the best tide of the passage?(主旨)A. Natural Environment Should Be Protected.B. The Success of Cultural Adaptation Is Not Permanent.C. The Global Population Is Increasing Since Ice Age.D.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! Thehomeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by zxxk the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A.Efforts made in vain.B.Getting injured in his work.C.Feeling uncertain about his future.D.Creatures forced out of their homes.25.Why was the author called to Muttontown?A.To rescue a woman.B.To take care of a woman.C.To look at a baby owl.D.To cure a young owl.26.What made the chick calm down?A.A new nest.B.Some food.C.A recording.D.Its parents.27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A.It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.CSome of the world’s most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO( United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying(联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to shrink and growolder, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It’s Jason Moran’s job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center’s artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it’s not really a part of the American appetite,” Moran tells National Public Radio’s reporter Neal Conan. “What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and write anymore. It’s actually color, and it’s actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can’t be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,” says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, “Just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,”says Moran. “For me, it’s the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion(情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight(感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context,” says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”28.Why did UNESCO set April 30 as International Jazz Day?A.To remember the birth of jazz.B.To protect cultural diversity.C.To encourage people to study music.D.To recognize the value of jazz.29.What does the underlined word “that”in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Jazz becoming more accessible.B.The production of jazz growing faster.C.Jazz being less popular with the young.D.The jazz audience becoming larger.30.What can we infer about Moran’s opinion on jazz?A.It will disappear gradually.B.It remains black and white.C.It should keep up with the times.D.It changes every 50 years.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Exploring the Future of Jazz.B.The Rise and Fall of Jazz.C.The Story of a Jazz Musician.D.Celebrating the Jazz Day.DA buld-it-yourself solar still(蒸馏器)is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available. Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it’s an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it’s all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5' 5'sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container—perhaps just a drinking cup —to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increasethe water catcher’sproductivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up —and out —the side of the hole.Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet’s center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates (蒸发) and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment zxxk out through the tube, and won’t have to break down the still every time you need a drink.32.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.It’s delicate.B.It’s expensive.C.It’s complex.D.It’s portable.33.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 re fer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.34.What’s the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheet’s center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.35.When a solar still works, drops of water come into the cup form.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Leadership i s the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personalabilities and style. Experts on l eadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and awrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase“Management is doing th ings right; leadership is doing the right things”, he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms. When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, exploredleadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great numberof highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the earlyleadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the characterethic(道德准则) and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success wasfounded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience and so on. The personality ethicsuggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of theseideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles ofeffectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personallymanage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential thatyou have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Businessleadership means that managers need to “put first things first,” which impliesthat before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions.B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms.D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.2. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests ?A. When people have little determination , they will be successful.B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success.C. If people have positive mental attitude , they are likely to succeed.D. If people have negative mental attitude , they are certain to succeed.3. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.B. They are supposed to benefit themselves.C. They can not adjust themselves.D. First personally they must manage themselves .4. What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”?A. Bright future.B. Good beginning.C. Good scenery.D. Pretty background.5. To be good leaders , what must managers pay close attention to ?A.

Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children.In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children,Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream.They both wanted to pursue their talent for art.After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement.They would toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy.Then, when that brother who won thetoss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother atthe academy.Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(轰动).By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works.When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant(胜利的)homecoming.Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him tocomplete his dream.“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is yourturn.Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care ofyou.”Tears streami ng down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No...no...It is too late for me.Look...look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been sufferingfrom arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glassto return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush.”To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamedit “The Praying Hands”.The next time you see a copy of that touching creation,let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone!【文章大意】本文叙述了有两个兄弟家境贫困,通过扔硬币来决定了弟弟Albrecht Durer去学习艺术了,哥哥 Albert要去危险的矿井干活供弟弟上学。
