三、阅读理解
A
When
I
was
16
years
old,I
made
my
first
visit
to
the
United
States.It
wasn't
the
first
time
I
had
been
abroad.Like
most
English
children,I
learned
French
at
school
and
I
had
often
been
to
France,so
I
was
used
to
speaking
a
foreign
language
to
people
who
didn't
understand
English.But
when
I
went
to
America
I
was
really
looking
forward
to
having
a
nice
easy
holiday
without
any
language
problems.
How
wrong
I
was!The
misunderstanding
began
at
the
airport.I
was
looking
for
a
public
telephone
to
give
my
friend
Danny
a
ring
and
tell
her
that
I
had
arrived.A
friendly
old
man
saw
me
looking
like
being
lost
and
asked
if
he
could
help
me.
“Yes,”
I
said.“I
want
to
give
my
friend
a
ring.”
“Well,that's
nice,”
he
said.“Are
you
getting
married?
But
aren't
you
a
bit
young?”
“Who
is
talking
about
marriage?”
I
replied.“I
just
want
to
give
my
friend
a
ring
to
tell
her
I've
arrived.Can
you
tell
me
where
there's
a
phone
box?”
“Oh!”
he
said.“There's
a
phone
downstairs.”
When
at
last
we
did
meet
up,Danny
explained
the
misunderstanding
to
me.
“Don't
worry,”
she
said
to
me.“I
had
many
difficulties
at
first.There
are
lots
of
words
which
the
Americans
use
differently
in
meaning
from
us
British.You'll
soon
get
used
to
all
the
funny
things
they
say.But
most
of
the
time
British
and
American
people
can
understand
each
other!”

B
When
I
was
young,I
wished
for
a
good
car
and
a
big
house.That
was
my
idea
of
success.I
took
all
the
advanced
classes
and
tried
to
do
well
in
the
exams
with
my
mind
focused
on
going
to
a
key
school.I
just
knew
that
I
would
somehow
become
famous
and
be
able
to
afford
the
car
and
the
dream
house.All
the
way
through
junior
years,my
mind
was
planning
this
beautiful
future.
Then
in
the
eleventh
grade,many
losses
changed
my
mind.First,one
of
my
friends
died
at
16.Soon
after,my
great?grandmother
passed
away,followed
by
my
beloved
fourth?grade
teacher.These
events
left
me
not
knowing
what
to
do
or
where
to
go.Death
had
never
touched
me
so
closely.
After
a
long
period
of
emptiness,it
finally
struck
me:life
is
not
promised
and
neither
is
future
success.Though
I
was
attempting
to
achieve
material
success,I
was
not
enjoying
my
daily
life.I
realized
that
finding
inner
peace,purpose
and
happiness
will
stick
with
me
forever
and
that
is
real
success.
Enjoying
life's
precious
quirks(偶发事件)makes
an
ordinary
person
more
successful
than
a
wealthy
person
who
isn't
content
and
takes
everything
for
granted.The
summer
before
senior
years,my
attitude
changed
greatly.Instead
of
memorizing
facts,I
began
learning
skills.Instead
of
focusing
on
the
future,I
focused
on
today
and
the
many
blessings
and
successes
that
came
with
it.
I
still
get
excellent
grades,but
now
I
devote
weeks
to
studying
instead
of
struggling
for
exams,and
I
think
about
the
future
with
a
deeper
sense
of
meaning.For
me,being
successful
means
truly
living
life
each
day.

四、阅读七选五
What
can
you
do
to
say
thank
you
in
a
meaningful
way?
Here
are
five
creative
ways
to
say
thank
you
that
your
friends
and
family
will
always
remember!
Send
a
letter.Snail?mail(普通邮件)is
a
largely
lost
art
form.
1
What
really
matters
is
that
you
took
the
time
to
put
pen
to
paper
and
express
your
feelings
honestly!
Listen
to
them.Listening
is
almost
as
a
lost
art
as
the
handwritten
letter.When
your
friends
or
family
members
need
to
talk,listen
to
them.
2
Just
letting
them
know
you're
paying
attention
to
them
is
a
great
way
to
say
thank
you
for
the
time
when
they
listened
to
you.
Make
surprise
gifts
for
them.There's
no
need
to
wait
until“later”to
send
a
thank?you
message
to
people
who
helped
you.Why
not
do
it
right
away?
Create
gift
bags
with
surprises
inside.
3
Show
them
love.A
simple
hug,or
helping
out
when
they
need
it
without
being
asked
may
be
the
most
powerful
gratitude(感谢)message
you
can
send.Offer
to
take
the
dogs
for
a
walk,or
babysit
the
kids
for
a
few
hours.
4
Sometimes
your
willingness
to
help
is
all
that
matters.
5
The
best
gifts
come
from
the
heart,and
the
best
way
to
repay
a
gift
is
to
pay
it
forward.If
your
friend
has
a
special
cause
they
care
about,why
not
volunteer
some
of
your
time
to
the
cause?
This
will
mean
more
than
any
number
of
candies,or
thank?you
notes.This
is
because
you're
taking
your
friend's
love
seriously
and
spreading
it
around
to
others.
A.Be
there
for
them.
B.Do
something
special
for
them.
C.Ask
questions
when
necessary.
D.Repay
their
kindness
by
paying
it
forward.
E.Don't
worry
about
how
long
it
takes
for
a
letter
to
arrive.
F.These
small
things
are
often
the
most
important
and
meaningful.
G.This
is
a
great
way
to
say
thanks
to
the
people
attended
your
event.

四、阅读七选五
1.E 此空设于段中,与下文之间存在逻辑上的解释关系,说明不要担心普通邮件的到达时间。
2.C 此空设于段中,与上文之间存在逻辑上的递进关系,前一句提到要倾听别人,本句继续陈述当必要时要提问题。
3.G 此空设于段尾,与上文之间存在逻辑上的指代关系。This指代前句中的“Create
gift
bags

4.F 此空设于段中,是上文的总结句。本句是对前面所述内容的总结,指出这些小事情是通常最重要且最有意义的。
5.D 此空设于段首,是本段的主题句,即如果要回报别人,表达感谢,最好的方式是将爱传递下去。
