I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days. Each daythe children produced some new 36 — Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone, 37 fromfar away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy,now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles small balls, made of glassor stone and competed with one another to bring the 38 ones. The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were 39 . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she 40 . After school I sat down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it hadbeen many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me ”I asked. She said not a word, but 42 her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung froma golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old 43 and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. 44 I knew — she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her orbrush her hair or 45 her childish joys or sorrows. I meant46 when I said in a low voice, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together.

I also believe that we sometimes damage ourwell-planned thoughts about success because it is easier to just carryon as usual rather than ' try' with the possibility of failure in mind. The main reason why most people never get moving is because they have noreal idea about what they want. Without a certain result already set inyour mind, it is really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your motivation 动力 may soon disappear and you give up before too long. Why not consider what is really important in your life Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have.At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you have taken.You will soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you shouldbe heading. Knowledge is useless without action. You can readevery book on any subject but your life will stay the same if you do notuse that knowledge. This may seem clear but the reason why the self-help industry is thriving 繁荣的 is because people read and read and read butnever use the information provided. Knowledge is fantastic but itis not life changing until used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life, but l also realizethat if I don't set goals to achieve, then l will always be a talk thetalk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it.If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may he best tokeep your mouth closed. Do yon want to know who you are Don't ask.Act Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living upto our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whateveryon want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limitswe have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think,it is what we experience when we act upon the thoughts we entertain.58. In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to ______A. tell us what people need to get successB. show us what people setin their mindC. inform us why people should practiceD. explain why people stopgoing ahead59.The underlined phrase "living up to" probably means ______.A. matchingB. showingC. wastingD. losing60.What is the best title for the passageA. See a Clear Picture of Life,B. Get Started to Be Great.C. Set Goals to AchieveD. Act upon ThoughtsC Sometimes you think your teacher hates you You‘re not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes冲突, just likeany two people who don‘t get along. After all, teachers aren‘t perfect. However, most of the time, there are lot of reasons why you complain aboutyour teacher‘s bad attitude态度 to you. So try to find out if your teacherreally does dislike you. Or something else is going on. Here are somequestions to ask yourself: Is your teacher angry at you personally,or at something you‘ve been doing All teachers have something thatthey strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper低声说话 in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situationmight get better. Are you the only person being treated badly, or isyour teacher shouting at the whole class Ask your classmates if they‘ve been having trouble with the teacher too. If they say yes, perhapsyour teacher is having problems outside of school, or is new and feels something badly. Are you working up to your ability You and thekid sitting beside you both got a C on the last test, and your teachertold you that you could do better, but didn‘t say anything to her Isn‘t this unfair Well, teachers often treat different students indifferent levels in different ways. They will be angry if they feel someonedoes not do the work he is able to. It‘s their way to encourage a studentto try a little harder. Are you more sensitive敏感 than most studentsTry to find out if you are very sensitive to be criticized批评. If theother students aren‘t as sensitive, they will not be in such trouble eventhough the teacher treated them the same way. There‘s nothing wrong withbeing sensitive, but if you act to criticism differently than most kids,this would be the reason why you think your teacher doesn‘t like you.54.The writer thinks that it is ____ when teachers and students haveclashes.A.not a matter at allB. a serious problemC. something normalD. no good for students55. If only one boy is criticized in a teacher‘s class, the boy should____.A. ask his classmates for helpB. think more about himselfC. talkwith the teacher at once D. treat the teacher the same way56.The writer wrote the passage to tell students how to ____.A. get along with their teachersB. do during a class as a studentC. understand the teachers‘ feelingD. act when they are criticizedD There are several kinds of distances距离 people keep. Dr. Hallnames them intimate, personal, social, and public. Intimate distance isbeing very close to another, as in a family. Personal distance might bethe kind people put between themselves at a party. Social distance is more businesslike and formal. Public distance is used by actors, politicians,and leaders before a large group. Scientists are trying to find out howpeople use these different distances. They want to discover why, when,and where people allow closeness or use space to protect themselves fromothers. Since proxemics is a new science, there aren‘t many conclusions about the meaning of spaces separating people. But you can make some general observations观察 on your own. Take note how you use space on different situations. What message do you get from other people as they move close to you or away from you Does distance give you a feeling that you are being ignored忽视When do you feel crowded拥挤的Standing in line at a shop counter, you can learn about space. People keep just enough distance between each other so that they don‘t invade侵犯 each other‘s area. If you should move in on another person‘s area, you would soon know it. That person would become nervous or turn around to show you the angry expression on his or her face. Or that person might simply tell you, ―Please step back. I’m too crowded.‖ School is a good place to study how space is used and how people mark their own area. At school you probably have a desk or part of a table to call your own. How do you feel when you find someone sitting at your desk or covering your table with papers and books Maybe you want to protect your area. You might tell the other person that it belongs to you. Then you might move his or her things aside. You might even ask that person to leave your area. Whether people are close together or far from each other, space can tell you indeed. The most important thing in space dialogue is whether people respect one another‘s areas. Invading other people‘s space might mean trouble.57. From the passage we can learn that ____.A.close or not, there is distance between peopleB. personal distance is between family membersC. close distance can make you feel comfortableD. one must keep enough distance from others 58. 58.Which of the following is true according to the passageA. You must protect your area from others‘ invading it.B. Space among people is something important for us.C. Distance can tell the relationship between people.D. Scientists are studying why there are kinds of spaces.59.What does the last sentence ―Please step back. I‘m too crowded‖in Paragraph 4 mean A. Go away or I am leaving. B. You take all my area as yours.C. Come and see I am here.D. You‘re standing too close to me.60.The best title of the passage probably is ____A. How interesting space isB. Space does speak indeedC. Space can be everywhereD. One should own his spaceC All over the world, the global diet includes fast food —prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches,fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains eating places with the same name and company owner. For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world. For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar. Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesn‘t have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health. In contrast 相反, most types of fast food have a lot of fat, sugar, or salt in them. Possibly, these things can cause or increase health disorders, like heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Recently, these quick and easy kinds of world wide nourishment are generally getting better and more healthful. For example, many fast-food restaurants now have put vegetable items on their menus. Of course, human beings around the world don‘t always eat in fast-food places.The variety of food choices is large now and is probably going to increase. The number of food preparation methods is growing too. Cooking customs, eating habits, and food preferences all over the world are becoming more healthful. In these and other ways, the global diet is changing.54.From Paragragh 1,we can know that __________________.A.America serves four kinds of fast foodB. we used to have more types of fast foodC. different countries have different types of fast foodD. America serves fewer fast food than other countries55.The underlined phrase ―stay away from‖ means __________.A. move away fromB. disorderC. get out ofD. Dislike56.The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the changing global dietB. the increasing types of dietC. the reason why people choose fast foodD. the reason why people dislike fast foodD People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create ―more perfect‖ human beings While peopleare arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on. Some people carry on active social liveswith computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places. With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a wayof sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users,the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes themwant to write better. Computer technology has also made it possibleto run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to startingthe coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of peopleat home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their ownersto program them. For instance, you can ―instruct‖ a microwave oven howto cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that oncold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off. Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer goingto control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships What effects will the genentic engineering of food haveon people‘s health High-tech medical treatments can make a person livea much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technologywill continue to move forward.57.What does the underlined word ― chips‖ meanA. thin pieces of potatoesB. small holesC. small pieces of woodD. central parts58. We can know from the passage that _________.A.technology never stops changing our everyday livesB. with computers each of us can live a comfortable lifeC. people can do more activities with computersD. the more you use computers, the better you might write59.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraphA.The longer you live, the happier you are.B. High-tech medical treatments can‘t improve our health and happiness.C. High-tech medical treatments can‘t help us with everything.D.The writer questioned high-tech medical treatments somehow.60.What is the best title for the passage。

初一英语完型阅读专项训练

初一英语完型阅读专项训练In junior high school, English proficiency is crucial, and the first year sets the foundation. Reading comprehension is a significant part of this foundation.One of the key skills to master is the ability to fill in the blanks with the appropriate words. This requires understanding the context and vocabulary.For instance, consider a passage about a young girl'sfirst day at school. The blanks might include words like "nervous," "excited," or "curious." Students need to choose the word that best fits the sentence.Another aspect of this training is understanding the main idea of a text. This involves scanning the passage for key details that support the central theme.Let's take a story about a boy who learns to play a musical instrument. The main idea might be about perseverance or the joy of learning something new.In addition to understanding the main idea, students should also be able to infer details that are not explicitly stated. This requires making logical connections based on the information provided.For example, if a passage describes a family's trip tothe beach, and it mentions that they packed sunscreen and towels, one can infer that they planned to spend time outdoors.Lastly, practicing these skills regularly is essential. It's not just about completing exercises; it's about engaging with the language and improving comprehension.By working through various passages and questions, students can enhance their ability to understand and analyze English texts, which is a valuable skill for academic success and beyond.。

People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturallysuited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a largeharbour* at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grewgradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over along period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896,Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness*. But gold was discovered there in1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche* once closed the path,killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities* like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is 762.29. People settle in New York City because ________.A. its position is convenientB. its weather is comfortableC. it has the business cultureD. it has a small population30. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson?A. Two thirds of them stayed there.B. Half of the people died.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. One fifth people got rich.31. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson?A. They were unable to stand the winter there.B. They didn’t have enough food and clothing.C. They found the city too crowded everywhere.D. They wanted to try their luck in other places.32. What is the text mainly about?A. Tourism in Dawson.B. The rise and fall of a city.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. The gold rush in Canada.Passage 3 [2019温州六校联谊二模]Cats love mirrors —they often either look at them curiously or try to touch“the othercat”with their fluffy paws*．But do they actually recognize themselves in the mirror?And how can we learn the answer when we have no way of knowing what animals arethinking. Back in 1970, Gordon Gallup, a scientist from the State University of NewYork, developed a test called the“mirror self-awareness test”, according to ScienceDaily. His te am of researchers painted a red dot* on the animal’s forehead*-which the animal could only see by looking into the mirror-and watched its reaction to the dot．In the test, some cats ignored their reflections* and just went away. Some attempted to look behind the mirror. Some even acted aggressively* toward the mirror. All of these behaviors show that cats think of their reflections as separate cats instead of as themselves.However, when chimpanzees saw the dots on their foreheads in the mirror, they first attempted to make direct contact with the reflections, then looked behind the mirror and finally touched their own fore-heads. This means the chimps realize that the dots are on their own bodies. That suggests self-awareness.It's just like when you look into the mirror and see something on your face-you touch your own face to brush it off instead of reaching for the image in the mirror.Very few animals pass this test and cats certainly don’t. Besides chimpanzees, other animals that seem to have a sense of self include gorillas, dolphins and elephants. However, the mirror test has received plenty of criticism*．People say that although it proves that certain animals are self-aware, it can't be used to prove that other animals are not. They say that it's unfair to the animals that rely* more on senses other than sight, such as cats and dogs.It's also possible that by not touching the spot, the cat is simply showing that it doesn’t care about cleaning it.33. What’s the purpose of the test that was developed by Gordon Gallup in 1970?A. To find out why cats love playing with mirrors.B. To test whether animals have self-awareness.C. To test the intelligence of different animals.D. To find the differences between cats and other animals.34. What happened to the animals in this test according to the passage?A. Cats didn't see the red dot in their reflections.B. Cats tried to clean the red dot in their reflections.C. Chimpanzees acted badly toward their reflections.D. Chimpanzees touched the dot on their forehead.35. The underlined word “ignore” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.A. fail to noticeB. refuse to reviewC. angry to knowD. happy to see36. People have different ideas about the mirror test because they think ____________.A. the result of the test is too generalB. the test was not designed properlyC. it can't be used for further researchD. it doesn’t have practical valuePassage 4[2019温州六校联谊二模]I was 11 years old standing outside in just my underwear while I watched the house that I grew up in rapidly burn to the ground.A few minutes earlier I had been in bed when a scream woke me up. My grandma's bedroom was just next to mine and my brothers’. A fire had broken out there and awakened her. Hearing her, my older brother had jumped into action, running from room to room quickly waking everyone in the house. The house however, was over 50 years old and made of wood. Before we could do anything the fire consumed* it. We all barely made it outside before the flames had taken hold of every room.I stood there shivering* while the fire destroyed my books, clothes, and toys. I watched helplessly while my mom cried and my dad sighed. I wondered what was going to happen to us now that we had lost all of our things.As I looked around, though, I realized something for the first time: The things that matter aren’t things. I saw my older brother running across the swinging bridge by our house to get help. I saw my oldest brother who was on crutches from an earlier accident standing unsteadily on one leg. I saw my grandma and dad wrapped in each other’s arms and my mom holding our little dog. I realized at that moment that we were all alive. Everything that was essential* had survived the fire. Our lives would continue. We would survive without the “stuff” that was burning. We would all be around to love each other for many years to come. And that was all that mattered.I still think of that fire in the night. It helped me to become who I am today. It showed me for the very first time what is truly essential in this life. It helped me to learn that the love we share is far more important than the things we possess*.Live your life then for the things that matter, not for the things you own. Love others. Let the fire inside of you make this world a warmer place. Let your soul shine bright.37. What was the writer thinking about when he saw everything burned to the ground?A. He was wondering how the fire got started.B. He felt lucky for being able to get out of the fire.C. He was worried about how to live with no things.D. He was mad about losing his clothes and toys.38. What did the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 4?A. That the terrible fire did a lot of damage to the family's things that night.B. That being alive and having a close family are what matter the most.C. That his whole family was very frightened by the terrible fire at night.D That people should stay calm when there is a fire happening suddenly.39. What does the “the fire inside of you” in the last paragraph refer to?A. The love of life.B. The fear of fire.C A life-lesson he learned. D. Anger toward the fire.40. Why did the write r say that “the things that matter aren’t things”?_______________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________Group 2参考答案完型填空：CABCA DBCDB CDACD阅读理解：Passage 1 ABBD Passage 2 ADDB Passage 3 BDAA Passage 4 CBA40. Possible answer: Firstly, the writer realized the family members were alive. Important things had survived the fire.Moreover, the writer saw his family help each other while the house was in burn to the ground. It helps the writer learn that the love among the family members is far more important than the things they own.。

He was a great singer and he was 52the school’s cross-country team.Every time I saw him on campus, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” Whenever he introduced me to his friends, he would tell them that he was 53 when he was supposed to be failing.

But there were always a few who 34 their courage, helped others, and were able to give a sense of 35 and meaning to their lives. I wanted to find out how a person could 36 a fulfilling and enjoyable life.‘In general, his research showed that people were unhappy doing 37 .

The professor has found that people are 43 when they get into something he calls ‗flow‘. When people get involved in a task that they have chosen, and which is well-defined and challenging, they 44 ‗flow‘，a state where they don't notice time passing.They also experience enjoyment. Professor Mihaly makes a contrast 45 enjoyment and pleasure. ‗I used to think they were the same thing —but they‘re not! 46 is a big bowl of ice cream, or taking a hot bath on a cold day —nothing bad at all!

Teens who have recently gotten their driver's licenses may be taking the wheel to drive to school this fall. However, parents fear when their teen starts driving. And it turns out that such parental fears are justified — so i t's worth reviewing how to keep your teen safe while he or she is behind the wheel.Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death in U. S. teens. Drivers 16 to 19 years old are at the greatest risk for crashes. In fact, their risk is 4 times greater than for older drivers. The teens at the greatest risk are those who are male, those carrying other teenage passengers in the car, and those still in their first year of driving. Nearly 50 percent of teen deaths related to automobile crashes happen on Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays between the hours of 3 p.m. and midnight.Why are teens at higher risk for motor vehicle crashes?Development. Teens haven‘t completely matured mentally and have greater risk-taking behaviors, possibly because they tend to underestimate the risk associated with a particular behavior. Teens also have a greater tendency to speed and to drive too close to the cars in front of them.No seatbelts. Teens have the lowest rate of seatbelt use among all driving groups.Alcohol. At least 25 percent of motor vehicle deaths in teens are related to alcohol use.Technological distractions. Cell phones, texting，MP3 players, and the like can all distract drivers greatly— and who more than teenagers?Be aware of your teen‘s driving practices and discuss safe driving habits when opportunities present themselves. Check out the applications and devices now available for restricting your teen‘s use of technology while driving. Some applications alert you to when your teen is texting while the vehicle is moving. Another device blocks incoming and outgoing texts when the car is running—incoming messages get an automatic reply (e. g, " I‘ m driving right now")，and phone calls go directly to voicemail. You can also get notifications if your teen tries to shut off the program. There are also GPS programs that let you know your new driver‘s whereabouts at all times. All in all, you can't be too cautious when teaching your teen how to be safe on the road.51. What factor is least related to the teen drivers‘ high risks of crashes?A. Driver age.B. Passenger gender.C. Driving experience.D. Driving time.52. Teens probably turn away their attention from driving when they are_____.A. drinking waterB. using no seatbeltsC. carrying passengersD. answering cell phones53. According to the passage, which should be prevented during teens' driving?A.V oicemail.B. GPS programs.C. Automated replies.D. Texting.54. The author writes the last paragraph in order to_____.A. set an example for the teensB. advocate different driving habitsC. offer parents practical suggestionsD. summari ze teen‘s driving practicesBIn many societies, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressure even within the same racial group, if some members are darker skinned than others.The result is that skin lightening has become a common activity across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world. More and more people with dark skin are using skin lightening products, even if they may face health risks.They believe that having whiter skin will improve their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. This process is also called bleaching. But some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. One of the most dangerous is hydroquinone.Hydroquinone has been banned in several countries. This chemical has been linked to kidney damage and some kinds of cancer. It also causes low birth weight in babies when mothers use it during pregnancy.At first, bleaching products make the skin color lighter. But after long term use they can cause problems. They can even make some skin darker. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural process that gives color to skin. The skin loses its natural barrier to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, but this only makes it worse.Fatimata Ly treats skin conditions in the Senegalese capital. Dakar. Doctor Ly says skin bleaching has become a problem throughout Senegal. She says the chemicals are now more dangerous because they are stronger. Some cases have resulted in blackened fingernails, infections and permanent skin damage.And these are not the only risks. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regret and sadness. They feel that instead of risking their health, theyshould have learned to love and accept their skin color as it was.55. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word ―bleaching‖?A. lightingB. changingC. whiteningD. pleasing56. Why has the skin lightening become a common activity all over the world?A. Many people with dark skin have no confidence.B. Light skin seems to have more advantages over dark skin.C. There are many products that can make the dark skin light.D. People with dark skin are forced by the pressure of their families.57. According to the text customers using the bleaching products would also risk__________.A. finger damageB. low weightC. emotional damageD. skin cancer58. The writer‘s attitude toward using the bleaching products is___________.A. doubtfulB. negativeC. supportiveD. positiveCIn the past two decades, the Chinese economy has undergone many reforms in an effort to compete more effectively on the international market. These reforms included allowing foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens. Now, researchers at the University of Missouri(MU) have found about 30% of Chinese urban households now own at least one credit card and the growth rate of credit adoption has been an average of 40% per year between 2004 and 2009.Rui Yao, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at MU, says that this large growth in such a small amount of time has positive and negative implications for the Chinese economy.―With more and more people taking advantage of credit cards in China, it certainly increases potential consumer buying power,‖ Yao said. ―However, we found that more than 90% of credit card users were unaware of safety issues existing in credit card use and more than 60% had little knowledge of the consequences of credit card debt. This lack of knowledge could create problems as credit c ard ownership is expected to grow at a rate of 11% a year.‖Yao found that while 72% of Chinese credit card holders were never late on their payment, only 55% were able to pay the full balance. She also found that 70% of Chinese credit card holders said that credit cards contributed to overspending.Yao believe that Chinese could benefit from financial education designed to help them plan for their financial future and encouraging the Chinese to take advantage of debt in a responsible fashion is impor tant for the Chinese economy. ―Appropriate use of debt can help households improve their quality of life as well as spur economic growth through an increase in market purchases,‖ Yao said.59. Why did China allow foreign banks to offer credit cards to Chinese citizens?A. To increase Chinese citizen‘s confidence in economyB. To respond to the urgent demand for financial reformsC. To persuade more Chinese citizens to accept credit cardsD. To improve competitiveness in the international market60. A lot of figures are used in the text in order to ______.A. provide concrete evidenceB. record the valuable dateC. give a detailed descriptionD. introduce a research method61. It can be inferred from the text that _____.A. education is the only solutions to future financial issuesB. overspending is mainly brought about by credit cardsC. some Chinese citizens lack knowledge of credit risksD. most Chinese credit card holders can‘t pay the balance62. The underlined word ―spur‖ in the last paragraph is closest in the meaning to_____A. promoteB. delayC. controlD. discourageDYears ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, ―Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further t han any amount of experience.‖ How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.―Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm,‖ wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the thing gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, ―I can do it!‖ when others shout, ―No, you can‘t!‖ It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist（遗传学家）who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn‘t let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach（巴赫）. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. A s author and poet Samuel once wrote, ―Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.‖Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mallrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, ―My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money.‖If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, ―I am persuaded to call Layton a genius.‖We can‘t afford to waste tears on ―might-have-beens‖. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after ―what-can-be.‖ We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses—finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.63. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?A. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honorB. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fameC. If you don‘t have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.D. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.64. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ________.A. enthusiasm can make people feel youngB. enthusiasm can keep people healthyC. music can arouse people‘s enthusiasmD. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed65. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.66. The author holds the view that ________.A. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy lifeB. enthusiasm can give people more success and fameC. enthusiasm is more important than experienceD. enthusiastic people will never get oldEEveryone wants to achieve true happiness in life. But the biggest factor holding most of us back is actually our own selves. The Huffington Post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people. Let‘s take a look.1. Placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)Those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not, according to research conducted at the University of Denver, US.2. Keeping it all inKeeping it all together during tough times can hurt you. Crying is the body‘s emotional response to outside triggers (诱因). By suppressing it, you may be damaging your mental and physical health.3. Looking at your smart phone all the timeConnecting with others may be the key to happiness, but a recent University of Michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites, the less happy they felt.4. Not movingIt‘s no secret that a healthy lifest yle is a big part of happiness. Something as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.5. Not reflecting on the pastIn a 2012 study on nostalgia (怀旧) and emotion, participants reported a higher sense of physiological (生理的) comfort when they looked back on the past. Affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.6. Resisting changeA study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid loss –but that resistance can cause stress. Whether it‘s fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have, the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.7. Not being mindfulSetting aside time for meditation (沉思) allows your body to relax, cultivates (培养) an attitude of gratitude and lowers your stress level, according to researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, US.67. What is the main purpose of the article?A. To inform readers of the benefits of being happy.B. To explain why our happiness depends on our own actions.C. To point out the things we do that prevent us from being happy.D. To discuss some typical characteristics of happy people.68. The underlined word ―suppressing‖ in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.A. speaking ofB. holding backC. thinking aboutD. taking no notice of69. According to the article, to be a happy person, it is important for us to ______.A. set goals and achieve as much as we canB. avoid recalling the pastC. do exercise in our spare timeD. spend more time on social networking sites70. According to the article, meditation is helpful mainly because ______.A. it increases our creativityB. it makes us less afraid of the unknownC. it helps us relax and thus reduce our stressD. it allows us to relate our past experiences to the present完成句子71. You‘ll never imagine to swim in the sea when Iwas travelling in SanYa. (fun)你永远无法想像当我在三亚旅游时，在海里游泳是多么有趣。

My English teacher, Marsha Pincus, did all that and more for me when I was growing up in inner-city Philadelphia, one of eight kids raised by a single mother.Mrs. Pincus told me to come by or to call her if I needed to. She cared about me. She gave a skinny kid like me some extra support. I was always something of a smart-mouth when I was young, but Mrs. Pincus helped me channel my enthusiasm （热情）into something positive. When she was out on maternity （怀孕）leave with her first child, a substitute teacher came in for English classes. On the first day, this teacher had trouble controlling the classroom.

Usually I was the one clowning around, but the kids seemed to listen. I ended up standing in front of the room discussing Julius Caesar. Later, the substitute told Mrs. Pincus about the skinny boy who taught the lesson. Mrs. Pincus said she knew right away what had happened. “Without her even naming you, I knew it was you,” she told me. Looking back, I think that was when the teacher in me started to emerge （显现）.

She and her husband were planning to attend a family party, so she wrote to a hotel and booked a room. She wanted to make sure the hotel was fully equipped, but didn’t know how to ask about the toilet facilities （卫生间设备）. She just couldn’t bring herself to write the word “toilet”in her letter. After much thought, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term “bathroom commode”. But when she wrote that down she felt that she was being too forward. So she started all over again, wrote the trip purpose this time, and referred to the bathroom commode merely as the B.C.. “Does the hotel have its own B.C.?” is what she finally wrote.Well, th e hotel owner wasn‟t old-fashioned at all, and he couldn‟t figure out what the woman was talking about. That B.C. business really stumped him. After worrying about it for a while, he showed the letter to some waiters, but no one could figure out what she meant either. So the hotel owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady was talking about the location of the Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply: “Dear Madam, I regret very much the delay （延期）in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure of informing you that the B.C. is located nine miles north of the hotel and is capable （有能力的）of seating 250 people at one time. I admit it is quite a distance away if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no doubt a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. If you don‟t start early you might not make it in time. I would like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more often, but it is surely not because of a lack of desire on my part. If you decide to come to our hotel, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the folks.”46. Why did the author‟s friend write “B.C.” instead of “toilet”?A. She tried to make her letter difficult to understand.B. She was quite old and liked to make the letter brief.C. She could spell out neither “toilet” nor “bathroom commode”.D. She thought it was a politer way to express what she meant.47. All of the following are men tioned in the lady‟s letter except that ____.A. she wanted to know the exact location of the hotelB. she would attend a family party with her husbandC. she would like to book a room in the hotelD. she wanted to find out whether the hotel would meet her needs48. The underlined word “stumped” in the second paragraph i s the closest in meaning to __.A. interestedB. puzzledC. shockedD. disappointed49. By writing “a great number of people take their lunches and make a day of it”, the h otel owner means that ____.A. it is a long way from the hotel to the churchB. the church has never served lunch at noon beforeC. the church is very popular with local peopleD. people like to share their lunches in the church50. What is the writer‟s purpose in writing the text?A. To persuade people not to use old-fashioned terms.B. To tell a funny story about an old-fashioned lady.C. To introduce two different meanings of “B.C.”.D. To criticize the old-fashioned lady‟s foolish behavior.完型BDisneyland opened on July 17, 1955 and instantly became the world‟s most recognizable and popular theme park.

新视野大学英语2综合训练完型总结

【综合训练完型阅读】【U9】Each nation has its own odd character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the worl d have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country . Who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and to get a s much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necess ary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return is rare everywhere.Both these types are usually not aware of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talkin g about his rights": he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not societ y to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses. if he had neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot ---or too cold--- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories. However, soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurl. He blames everyone and everything except himself He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.【U8】Career planning helps you to shape your career possibilities. It includes gathering information about ourselves as well as about occupations. Estimating the probable results of various courses of action is also part of it. Finally, it includes choosing what we find attractive and possible.There are some key steps in career planning. The first one is to study yourself. This is the key to career planning. Understanding what you are like, what you value, and what you want to become is the foundation for all career planning. In studying yourself, you examine your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and the trends in your personal development. The self-understanding that you gain enables you to imagine something important. That is, you realize how certain occupations may best fit your interests, abilities, and goals.The second step is to write your career goals down. A useful method of organizing ideas about your career is to actually write them down by time blocks in your life, for instance, ages nineteen to twenty-two, twenty-three to thirty, and so on. Writing something down may lead to new ideas about your possibilities and may help you to see relationships, patterns and trends.The third step is to review your plans and progress periodically with another person. Every so often, take stock of your situation and consider what steps have to be taken next. Planning further steps can help you face the changes that take place in the labor market. Talking over your plans with your parentsor friends helps you improve your career plans or make them work.If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over. Today, a growing number of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that attract them. Reasons for changing careers are different, but many people move because they feel tired of their jobs. For some, a second start grows out of the awareness that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy. They believe this is important for their personal development.【U7】Here are some secrets of living a successful life:Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sence of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your words and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own goals. You shouldn’t compare yourself with others for this. It’s not a question of being better than someone else. Respect demands that you be better than you thought you could be.Commit yourself to others. Believe in others, and take time to help them realize their dreams. You can build yourself into the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. You can do this by providing encouragement, and spending your time and energy on their development. If a tree is given little nourishment , it will live but not grow. But if nourishment is given over and beyond what is needed for life, the tree will live and grow upward, producing fruits.Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s reward . We live in a society that wants problems solved now. We want fast food, one hour dry cleaning and instant success. But to live happily , we must live one day at a time. We must realize that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal achievement. It means taking time to play with your kids and kiss your wife or husband. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to let the other fellow ahead of you on the highway. And what could be better than this?【U6】How important are our clothes? It is interesting to reflect on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jeans with holes? We would think that he might be a student as that is a fashion started by young people. An elegant lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age don't dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too. And that man with a well-tailored suit walking over there with an umbrella? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, he is formally dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his treasured umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly dressed. She was watched with suspicion from the moment she walked into the store. As she examined the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she finally decided on a smallpurchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or under. The next day she went back , dressed well , smelling of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper article, told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes.Some people argue that judging other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a person's appearance is an expression of who he is. An untidy person may rightly be thought of as a person of low social status, or even low quality. "Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes aren't necessary. And if a person decides not to look presentable, why should I give him respect?" one person says.【U5】There are two ways to spoil a child, that is, “overindulgence” and “oversubmissiveness”. The problem with overindulgent parenting is that it starves the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It also keeps him from making his own decisions and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to struggle to get something for himself. He never has to entertain any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and he’s tired of all his toys, this child is “spoiled” into believing that life will provide him everything without his own effort. And when he grows up he will expect everyone to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of spoiling is oversubmissiveness. An oversubmissive parent gives in to all his child’s demands, often because he fears the child won’t love him if he doesn’t. He just isn’t able to give a(n) firm “No”. The parent has no time to himself, can’t get the child to do anything wit hout an argument, and has to listen to whining continuously. When he’s had too much , he explodes in anger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels guilty for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they won’t be allowed to take advantage of other people.The child with an oversubmissive parent doesn’t learn to accept a “No” from other people, or to set limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the ever-present threat: “If you loved me, you’d do what I want.”The child “spoiled” by oversubmissive parenting grows up into a teenager and adult without limits to his behavior. He also becomes a person who won’t respect other people’s limits and personal boundaries. He makes life miserable for his parents, spouse, and children, infringing on their rights and feelings. He does this without even being aware of the people he hurts. Clearly, this is not good for anybody.Avoiding these two ways of spoiling is difficult, but well worth the effort.【U4】Universities are at their best when they do more than give students knowledge about their subjects.A new science and engineering first degree program is creating a lot of excitement at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is helping to prepare students to become leaders capable of creating and directing change in local, national, and global communities. Experts believe that much can be expected of this. The details might be of some interest to you.Three years ago, MIT worked with Leadership, Inc. to create the institute-based Leader Shape Institute. Program leaders call it “a serious and creative response to today’s basic challenges”. They mean to develop students and engineers who are prepared to “lead with integrity” both in technolog ical fields and in society. Central to the effort is helping students to learn to listen to society as it expresses its need for change.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has provided120 MIT science and engineering students with a thorough six-day experience featuring highly interactive teaching and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem solving. They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, dealing with uncertainty, working within a diverse community, and relationship communication. Most discussions and activities take place in assigned small “groups”. These groups provide supportive, safe environments that promote learning. It is meant that students develop new skills and attitudes. Each participant creates an individual plan of action called a “vision”, which is a main element of the Leader Shape curriculum. Each vision must be designed to bring confident change to the institute community. It must be carried out during the following school year.So what do students think about what they learn from the Leader Shape Institute? Nearly everyone asked about it speaks highly of their experience. One student, Christy Robertson, said that it had changed her life. “I feel that the things I’ve learned here are more important than anything else I’ve ever learned in a university classroom,” she said. “I only wish that I could sign up to take it a second time.” Many other students feel the same way.【U3】Choosing your life partner is a decision that requires very careful thought. Getting married is something you do not want to take lightly . Divorce rates around world are increasing every year. And in some countries they are now as high as 50 percent! If you don’t want to end up divorced and heart-broken, take my advice to help you choose your perfect partner.First of all, you and your partner should be compatible. You need to know that you share a common purpose in life. You and your partner should have similar goals and ambitions that you can work towardachieving through your married life. It will be difficult to keep your marriage together if your partner wants to stay at home and raise a large family, but you want to travel the world. You might have difficulty telling him that you want to have a life free from having children.Next, ask yourself this question: Is my partner a person with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings? In other words, can you be completely honest and open with this person? Or do you sometimes feel shy and uncomfortable telling her how you feel? If your situation is the former, then you have probably found your true love. If, however, it is the latter, take your time before you marry this person.Marry a person who is polite and kind to others; he will be polite and kind to you. In my experience, you can learn a lot about the true nature of a person by watching how he treats other people. If someone is kind and giving to family and friends, he will do the same to you. Someone who has good manners and is polite and respectful when dealing with others is whom you should be looking for. He will show you the same consideration.Finally, when you enter into a relationship with someone, remember that you should not expect to change that person. Be sure that the person you are getting together with is someone you like exactly the way he is. Otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed.【U2】The Olympics were first started by the Greeks and were very religious in nature. The Greeks honored their gods by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities of Greece stopped their wars to show their respect for the gods.There were originally four towns in which the Games were held and each town held the Games once in four years. But the Games at Olympia were the most important . The four-year period from the beginning of one Olympic Games to the beginning of the next became known as an “Olympiad”.Apart from the singing and dancing, the Games were very like the modern Olympics of today. There were foot-races in a stadium over long and short distances. There were jumping events, throwing events, and boxing.Only men were allowed to compete in or watch these early games. Later women were allowed to watch but they did not compete. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape. Thousands of men, and later women, applauded the greatest athletes in the country as they competed. They looked forward to the Games with much excitement.The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth century B.C., the Greeks were overpowered by the Romans. Then Greece became part of the Roman Empire. In Roman times the Olympic Games became less of a religious event than it was duringGreek times. The focus changed to the games themselves. Further changes to the Olympic Games have been made since. Even with the changes to the Olympic Games, however, we still remember the place of their birth.And we are reminded of the original Games even more, because Greece hosted the games very recently. The 2004 Summer Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. Over 200 countries participated in the Games. Also, for the first time ever, the Olympic flame, now very important to the Olympics, traveled around the world in a relay. The excitement of 2004 and that of the original competitions stays with us as we look forward to future Olympic Games.【U1】“You’re going to another country to study? How wonderful! You're really lucky!”But is it true all the time? Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feelings which people experience when they come to a new environment cult ure shock.According to these specialists, there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcom ers like their environment. Then, when the newness wears off, they begin to hate the city, the country, t he people, the apartment, and everything else in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings. As a result , they enjoy their life more.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious . Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the pu blic service networks such as the telephone or post office are difficult to understand and you make mista kes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. You may also miss the familiar smells of the food you are used to in your own country. If you don't look s imilar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel like everyone is watching you. In fact, you are al ways watching yourself. You are self-conscious .Who experiences culture shock? Everyone does in some form or another. But culture shock comes a s a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had anydifficulties in their own countries. They had hobbies or leisure activities which they enjoye d back in their mother country. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same establishe d positions or hobbies. They find themselves without a role, almost without a(n) identity . They have to b uild a new self-image. This can take a long time.。
