( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
A blog can be a ve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ry effective way of spreading the word about yourself, and your other writing. It can unshroud your knowledge, and create an ongoing relationship with your readers. A good blog is more than just a marketing tool; it’s also an expression of your personality.
An obvious starting po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )int is to post samples of your work that not only show off your skills and writing ability but also leave people wanting more. Post selections from the most exciting parts of your stories but end them just as the action reaches its peak. If you write nonfiction (写实文学), show people what they could achieve, and give them a few steps to get them started.
Give tips, informatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n and advice about the subjects you cover. For example, something about struggling with difficulty and many other issues like this.

Include photos of objects and locations in your writing, famous people you meet, the views from your window, and your favorite things—with a note about where they came from and what they mean to you. Look out for things that will help your readers get to know you better, know the subject better, or anything else you think they might find useful, inspiring or entertaining.
If you only occasional ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly post things on your blog, people have a tendency to forget you. As a writer you shouldn’t ever run out of interesting material to fill your blog with—and your readers will love you for it.
1. Which is the best title for the text

Kingda Ka, the t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )allest roller coaster （过山车） on Earth, drops its passengers a life-flashing 418 feet. Ferrari World's Formula Rossa, the fastest, takes riders' breath away at speeds of up to150 mph. BRC Imagination Arts, a Southern California design firm, has proposed something entirely new: a ride that creates the sensation of zero gravity for up to eight seconds at a time.
BRC drew its conc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ept from the "Vomit Comet," the plane NASA uses to train astronauts. Its proposed theme-park ride would travel up and then back, similar to the existing "Superman: Escape from Krypton" coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in California. But unlike Superman and other open-car coasters, the vomit-comet ride would be fully enclosed. Riders would enjoy the illusion of floating within a stable chamber.
To create that illu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sion, a special motor system would speed coasters up the track with great precision（精确度）. As the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly slow down—just enough to throw the passengers up from their seats and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers. As the coaster reached the top of the track and began to drop back down, the computer system would continue to match its speed to that of the falling passengers, extending the sensation of weightlessness for several additional seconds, and finally rapidly slow down to a stop back at the base station.
Roller coasters ty ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pically cost no more than $30 million, but the zero-gravity ride would cost $50 million or more, to a large extent because the precision-response propulsion system（推进系统） is so complex. But if someone were to write a check today, Rogers says, his company could be sending riders on weightless journeys by the end of 2014.
1. What makes BRC's coaster different
A. It's the tallest roller coaster in the States.
B. It's the fastest roller coaster on Earth.
C. It can bring a sensation of zero gravity to its riders.
D. It is a NASA product.
2. Why would pe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ople in BRC's coaster have an illusion of floating in the chamber
A. Because it's designed with the inspiration of Superman.
B. Because a special functioning motor system is applied to it.
C. Because the coaster can approach a top speed of more than 100 mph.
D. Because the coaster would cost $20 million more than normal ones.
3. At what point could a rider begin to feel weightless
A. When the co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aster reduced its speed immediately after it reached its top speed.
B. When the coaster began to increase its speed.
C. When the coaster r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )educed its speed to a stop back at the base station.
D. When the coaster reached the top of the track.
4. What can we infer from the passage
A. BRC is a famous design firm.
B. You feel like a superman when riding BRC coaster.
C. BRC's budget can't make the project complete until 2014.
D. Kingda Ka and Ferrari World's Formula Rossa will close down soon.

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The government o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean. The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds. The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists. The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month. The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war, climate change and other possible threats. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole, the northernmost position on Earth.
An internati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onal group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist. He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if in his words “the worst came to the worst”. Norway is expected to start work next year. The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain. Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high-security doors.
The magazine report ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa, Asia and Latin America. To last a long time, seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures. Workers will not be present all the time. But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter. Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius. The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced.
Mr. Fowler says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank. He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason.Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s. But security concerns delayed the plan. At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen. New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization.
1. The project is meant to_____.
A. increase the world’s food production in the future
B. carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes
C. protect crop seeds from dying out in case of possible disasters
D. build an exhibition centre of the world’s plant seeds
2. Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing statements is TRUE according to the above passage
A. The government of Norway will perform the project alone.
B. Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C. Spitsbergen i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever.
D. Temperature i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a major consideration when choosing the storage place.
3. We can infer from the text that_____.
A. People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year
B. The storage c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enter will greatly promote the development of world agriculture
C. Norway mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt to have built the storage centre more than 20 years ago
D. There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before
4. What is probably the best title of the passage
A. Noah’s Ark o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f Plant Seeds in Plan B. The Best Place to Store Seeds
C. Concerns of World Food Supply D. A New Way to Feed the World

British men are encouraged to cry.
There are certain ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) things British men like to believe about themselves. The first is that one day they will again win the World Cup. They also believe they do not cry.
Over the centuries, Br ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )itons are believed to have a “stiff upper lip”. But is this true
Yes, it is. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )A recent study arranged by Kleenex on how the British express their emotions reveals that 95 percent of them still contain their emotions.
Moreover, whil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e 72 percent think this is unhealthy, 19 percent can’t remember the last time they “let it out”. As a result, Kleenex is launching the “Let It Out” campaign that encourages Britons to grab a tissue and have a good cry.
These days, howeve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r, the male Briton’s attitude toward crying is changing. Though the majority still struggles to open up emotionally, a 2004 study by Oxford’s Social Issues Research Center found that 77 percent of British men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. Half of London males admitted crying in front of their mothers. Scotsmen are the least emotional, although they are the most likely to cry at weddings.
Peter Marsh, dire ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ctor of the center, said: “Crying can now indicate sensitivity rather than weakness. Like with David Beckham, crying because you’re dropping off your boy at nursery isn’t seen as weak.”
Winston Churchil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l was said to be a frequent crier, shedding tears at seeing a survivor in an air raid shelter (防空洞), and when he saw his wife after a long absence.
Psychologists say t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat while society has accepted that men can cry, there are limits. Ronald Bracey, a consulting psychologist, said: “If a man began to cry when he was having stitches (缝针)in hospital, he would be considered as a wimp(软弱的人). Men still need to be seen as strong when it comes to physical pain.”
1. What does the passage mainly deal with
A. Impression of British men.
B. British men’s dream of the World Cup.
C. Advice on how to control emotions.
D. Different attitudes British men have towards crying.
2. Which of the foll ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )owing concerning the British men is NOT true according to the passage
A. They are supposed to easily control emotions over the centuries.
B. They are conf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ident that they will again get successful in the World Cup.
C. About 50% of British men admitted crying before their mothers.
D. Nowadays, the male Briton’s attitude toward crying is changing.
3. The word “contain”in Paragraph 4 means______.　
A. store　　　B. hold back C. include　　 D. stir up
4. What does the author think of the British men’s crying
A. They should cry if hurt.
B. They should keep firm not to cry to show they are not wimps.
C. They should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be brave in face of physical pain and cry if necessary when facing other problems.
D. They should “let it out”whatever problems they meet with.

( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )
While some dictiona ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ries define the word “right” as “a privilege” when used in the context of “human rights”, we are talking about something more basic. Originally, people had rights only because of their membership in a group, such as a family. Then, in 539 BC, Cyrus the Great, after conquering the city of Babylon, did something totally unexpected—he set all slaves free and let them return home. Moreover, he declared people should choose their own religion. Cyrus’ statements are about the first “human rights” declaration in history.
Every person has cer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tain basic rights, simply by the fact of being human. These are called “human rights” rather than a privilege, which can be taken away at someone’s sudden desire. They are “rights” because they are things you are allowed to be, to do or to have. These rights are there for your protection against people who might want to harm or hurt you. They are also there to help us get along with each other and live in peace.
Yet many peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e, when asked to name their rights, will list only freedom of speech and belief and perhaps one or two others. There is no question that these are important rights, but the full scope of human rights is very broad. They mean choice and opportunity. They mean the freedom to get a job, adopt a career, select a partner of one’s choice and raise children. They include the right to travel widely and the right to work without trouble, abuse and threat of arbitrary (霸道) dismissal. They even embrace the right to leisure.
In ages past, there we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re no human rights. Then the idea turned up that people should have certain freedoms. And that idea, in the wake of World War II, resulted finally in the document called the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the thirty rights to which all people are entitled.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. What Are Huma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Rights B. Why Do We Have Human Rights
C. How Do Human Ri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ghts Come Into Being D. What To Do With Human Rights
2. How did the first human rights come into being
A. By Cyrus conquering the city of Babylon.
B. By Cyrus setting the slaves free.
C. By Cyrus making his statement about human rights.
D. By choosing ones own beliefs.
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. Human rights can be taken away for some reason.
B. Human rights have the same meaning as privileges.
C. Human rights can help you live a peaceful life.
D. Human rights can be used to hurt others.
4. The underlined word “embrace” in the third paragraph means　　　.
A. to seek　　　　B. to include　　　　C. to enjoy　　　　D. to share
5. From the last paragraph we can infer that　　　.
A. people would have freedom rather than human rights
B. at the beginning of 20th the more complete rights appeared
C. thirty human rights have existed for about 70 years
D. World War II decided human rights

53. A. power B. hand C. turn B. eyes
54. A. easy B. happy C. exciting D. difficult
55. A. break out B. turn out C. pull out D. make out
36.D 由文章第一句话“My hus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )band and I were cleaning windows together yesterday.”可知，“我
们”有双吊钩的“窗户”，这样的“窗户”便于你能向前推并翻转。
37.C 第一段提到：昨天“我”和丈夫一起擦窗子。由此可知是便于“我们”“擦洗”窗户的里面和外面。故clean“把……弄干净”符合语境。
38.A 由文章第一段可知，夫妻二人正在擦洗窗户，此处指的应该是“我”的丈夫正在“洗”一扇窗户。故wash“冲；洗”符合语境。
39.B 由语境可知应该是“我们”的“房子”要出售。
40.A 由前面的“…and it po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pped out of its frame!”可知，窗子坏了。故此处应该表示“我们”最不需要的事情就是东西“坏了”。break“打破、弄坏”符合语境。
41.C 由下文中的“…, using ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a few less than pleasant words (I am sorry to say).”可知，丈夫感到那么的不安(worried)。
42.D 由上文中提到的“it popped ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) out of its frame!”应该使窗户恢复原样。get …back意为“恢复”符合语境。
43.C 由下文中的“…and he would try to fix it with me.”可知，丈夫尽力把窗户“安装”在一起。
44.A 由倒数第二段中的“And my son fixing it with me”可知答案。
45.B 由下文中的“I ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lled my husband in to see!”可知，儿子告诉他的父亲走开一会……。walk away“走开”符合语境。
46.D 由前面的“clearly”及后面的语境可知应该用“easily”合适。
47.A 由最后一段中的第一句话“Calm is good.”可知当你“镇定的”时候，看事情更清晰，做事情更容易。
48.C 由上一段中的“After ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) twenty minutes he still could not get it….”可知丈夫二十分钟后仍没能把窗户安装好。再由下文中的“He and I fixed the window in three minutes!”可知，他无法“相信”！
49.D 由上下文语境可知是转折关系。故选but。
50.A 由上下文语境可知，应该是儿子“让”自己的父亲走开一会……。
51.B 儿子帮助父亲从焦虑 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )中摆脱出来。free …from …意为“使……摆脱……”符合语境。而keep…from…，阻止某人……；protect …from…，保护……免受；save …from…，从……挽救……均不符合语境。
52.C 由本段第一句知，“我”知道这并不真的是一份礼物，但是在某一方面，它又是。故推知，“我”的儿子和我一起修理窗户，对“我”而言是一份“礼物”。
53.D 由上文中的“a man ”可知下文中与之对应的应该是“the kid”，故选instead of“而不是”。
54.D 在母亲眼中的儿子。故用“in one’s eyes”。其它三项均不符合语境。
55.B 带着清醒的头脑返回并且事情将通常产生更好的结果。

Some people will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )do just about anything to save money.And I am one of them.Take my family's last vacation.It was my six－year－old son's winter break from school，and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip.The flight was overbooked，and Delta，the airline，offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day.I had meetings in New York，so I had to get back.But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay.I took my nine－month－old and took off for home.
The next day，m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight.Yes，I encouraged—okay，ordered—them to wait it out at the airport to “earn” more Delta Dollars.Our total take：$1,600.Not bad，huh
Now some people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either.But as a big－time bargain hunter，I know the value of a dollar.And these days，a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) looking for the best deals and exposing(揭露) the worst tricks.I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade.I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade：A Consumer Survival Guide.And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cause there is no shame in getting your money's worth.I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes，clothes for my children，and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut.It keeps its shape longer，and it's the first thing people notice.And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture.Quality lasts.

My friend John alway ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写，乱涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a bea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )utiful recipe (处方，食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand besid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day ”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

1．C　[从上文中“Nubs was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) shaking”可知，这只狗受伤严重，因而几乎站立不稳。D项迷惑大，根据上句“circled American soldiers for food”可推断狗还是站着的，故D错。]
2．D　[根据下文“He and hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s men immediately treated the wound”可知Dennis不忍心看到Nubs受苦。]
3．A　[由下文“Ten days later，Dennis’s unit was back”可知，Dennis的支队不得不离开。]
4．D　[上文强调狗受伤，体弱。这里选weak照应上文。]
5．B　[从下文“he saw Nubs just outside the outpost”等句子可知，狗慢慢地跟着部队前进。]

10．A　[Dennis决定让狗继续过上好日子。]
11．B　[把狗空运到美国，不是让它继 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )续过流浪生活，A错。在Dennis看来，与以前相比，狗与他们在一起后过的是好日子，但战场上是不安全的，故选B。]
12．D　[上次是Dennis救了Nubs这条狗，因此这次是Dennis和Nubs再次聚首。]
13．A　[根据常识可知狗表示友好，应该是lick“舔”Dennis的脸。]

For millions of Facebo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ok users, choosing which photo to use for an online profile is an important decision. According to a study by researchers at the UT Dallas Center, the photos we select may reflect individual preferences, but they also appear to reflect more deeply rooted, unconscious cultural differences.Previous research has shown that culture can affect not only language and custom, but also how we experience the world and process information. Western cultures，for example，condition people to think of themselves as highly independent entities (实体)，whereas East Asian cultures stress collectivism and interdependence.
Dr. Denise Park, co-director of the Center at UT Dallas, and former graduate student Dr. ChihMao Huang of the University of Illinois, were curious about whether these patterns of cultural influence extend to cyberspace. In a paper published in the International Journal of Psychology, they examined the profile photographs of more than 500 active Facebook users from the United States a nd East Asia. Overall, they found that profile photos of Americans are more likely to focus on the individual's face，while the profiles of East Asians tend to less emphasize the face and include more background features. Americans also show greater smile intensity compared to East Asian Facebook users.
The findings show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )marked cultural differences in the focus of attention among East Asian and American Facebook users. Moreover, they echo previous research on cultural influences on visual perception(感知），attention, and reasoning in the offline world.
“We believe these f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )indings relate to a cultural bias to be more individualistic and independent in the US and more communal and interdependent in Asia”，said Park.
The research also fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )und that cultural influences over our self-presentation online can shift over time and from place to place. In one of the study samples, Americans studying in Japan and Japanese studying in the US both showed a tendency to adjust their profile photos to the general preferences of their host country.
“ Facebook consti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tutes an extended social context in which personal profiles mirror various individual characteristics，private thoughts，and social behaviors，” noted Huang. “ As such，the study presents a new approach to investigate cognition and behaviors across cultures by using Facebook as a data collection platform. ”
1. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )word ‘‘condition” in the first paragraph probably means _______.
A. advise　　　　B. instruct　　　　C. shape　　　　D. forbid
2. We can know from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage that Mongolians probably emphasize________.
A. cultural influences　　　　B. social behaviors
C. independent existence　　　　D. collective power
3. It can be i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nferred that a Korean studying in the US is likely to _______.
A. use a picture of his face on Facebook
B. adjust to American preferences quickly
C. change his profile photos from time to time
D. put up a photo of his apartment on Facebook
4. According to Dr. Huang, Facebook can help to _______.
A. make up a more extended social context
B. study the diversity of worldwide cultures
C. promote communication between east and west
D. combine different cultures from different aspects

Some years ago ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day's events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past
When I was thir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )teen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well－equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera.During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
At that point, I u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nderstood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
Now, I only write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.
1．Before the age ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
A．observing her school routine
B．expressing her satisfaction
C．impressing her classmates
D．preserving her history
解析　细节理解题。由文章第一段的最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句话“After all, isn't accumulating memories a way of preserving the past？”可知，我认为通过看过去经历的记录是保存过去的一种方式，故选D项。
答案　D
2．What caused a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )change in the author's understanding of keeping a diary
A．A dull night on the journey.
B．The beauty of the great valley.
C．A striking quotation from a book.
D．Her concerns for future generations.
解析　细节理解题。由第三段的第一句话 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.”可知，山谷的美让我意识到没有什么能比得上让自己去体验美。故选B项。
答案　B
3．What does the author put in her diary now
A．Notes and beautiful pictures.
B．Special thoughts and feelings.
C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.
D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.
解析　细节理解题。由第四段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )第一句话“Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.”可知现在“我”只把一些特殊想法和感受写在日记里，故正确答案为B项。
答案　B
4．The author comes to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )realize that to live a meaningful life is________.
A．to experience it
B．to live the present in the future
C．to make memories
D．to give accurate representations of it
解析　细节理解题。由最后一段的最后一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“I don't live to make memories...I just live，and the memories form themselves”可知A项正确，C项不正确；由第四段最后一句“I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.”可知B项错误。由最后一段第二句话“Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I'll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.”可知D项错误。
答案　A.

Very often when ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I go to look at someone’s garden and they complain that for some reason it does not feel right to them. What I notice is that the design quite complicated. Or, sometimes there is no real design and the layout (布局) just looks messy. Creating a garden without some form of design is like trying to bake a cake without a recipe.
With a cake you ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n add together ingredients (原料) from the cupboard and fridge in the hope that the result will be a perfectly baked cake. Both creating a garden and baking a cake follow outlines for getting a result. Know just when to add something, when to take the mix off the heat or how much oil to use, etc.
An experienced gard ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )en designer can help you create a garden best suited to you and your lifestyle, rather than impose their own ideas on you. He will listen to and help draw out your ideas. By keeping the garden design simple you and your chosen designer will have created the structure of a garden, similar to the structure of a house together with some details.
A golden rule ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to remember is that garden design is not about choosing the right plants. Don’t get caught up in the idea that you have to choose the right plants for the job straight away. Plant choice comes almost at the last minute in many cases, after you and your designer have created style or feeling you are wanting to have in your garden.
Design is about cre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ating a constructable (可构造的) image for the garden, including form and shape, sounds, smells, even tastes and often, believe it or not, plants are never used. By keeping the design simple, especially if you are learning about design or taking on the project by yourself, you are increasing your chances of a successful design, one that matches your standard for your life.
1. What is the passage mainly about
A. Designing a garden as simple as possible.
B. Comparing garden-designing with cake-making.
C. An experienced garden designer’s importance.
D. Choosing plants for the garden.
2. Why does the author use baking a cake in the passage
A. To show the basic steps of baking a cake.
B. To imply how simple to design a garden.
C. To state baking a cake is very complex.
D. To introduce how to design a garden.
3. The underlined word “impose” in the third paragraph means　　　.
A. force　　　　 B. turn　　　　　C. improve　　　　 D. imagine
4. By keeping the garden design simple, 　　　.
A. you can get details from the garden designer
B. you will be successful one day
C. you can meet your standards in life
D. you can match the structure of a house with that of a garden
5. What is the most important for garden design
A. Creating a constructable image for the garden.
B. Choosing the right plants for your garden first.
C. Inviting an experienced garden designer.
D. Not rushing to choose plants for your garden.

Many kids th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink that class and learning is boring. It is especially 1 for teachers to try to make learning fun. There are certain 2 that you also would assume kids would 3 find interesting. One of them is first aid. Many kids probably think first aid lesson is 4 . But first aid is an important skill for anyone to learn, including children. So how can a teacher make learning about first aid interesting
One way to do so i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to get the children 5 . Have them compete to bandage or care for one of their friends. Tell the children that their friend has cuts all over his body and that he needs to be 6 for. This can create a very fun situation where one child is covered in bandages.
Set up a 7 where t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he children find one of their friends unconscious. Have one child play the unconscious friend. Have the children call 911 on a play phone and 8 to see if there is a heart rate or breathing. See how quickly they can do all of the necessary tasks and 9 them to other groups of children. Make the whole day into a competition with some sort of 10 for the child or group of children that do the best.
Another way to mak ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e first aid training 11 is to have the kids tell stories about scary times when they thought someone needed first aid. This is a good 12 because with the children’s new learning they can figure out how best to help the person in their story. These sorts of 13 will make first aid learning time fun and exciting. The kids will remember the day when you taught them first aid with fondness, 14 that they will remember what you taught them. Who knows, maybe by making first aid fun you could help to 15 a life.

Stress caused by ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) social situations, such as giving a speech or going to a job interview, can affect some people’s immune system in ways that harm their health, researchers have found.
The study included 1 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )24 volunteers who were purposely put into embarrassed social situations. Those who showed greater neural (神经) sensitivity to social rejection also had greater increases in inflammatory (炎症) activity when exposed to social stress.
“It turns out the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re are important differences in how people explain and respond to social situations,” lead author George Slavich, at the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a UCLA news release.
“For example,” he exp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lained, “we sometimes see giving a speech in front of an audience as a welcomed challenge; other times, it’s threatening and sad. In this study, we sought to examine the neural bases for these differences in response and to understand how these differences relate to biological processes that can affect human health and well-being.”
The findings pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )vide “further evidence of how closely our mind and body are connected. We have known for a long time that social stress can get under the skin to increase risk for disease, but it’s been unclear exactly how these effects occur. As we know, this study is the first to identify the neurocognitive (神经认知) pathways that might be involved in inflammatory responses to sharp social stress,” Slavich said.
Increases in i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nflammatory activity are part of the immune system’s natural response to potentially harmful situations, but “frequent or chronic (慢性的) activation of the system may increase the risk for a variety of illnesses,” Slavich added.
The study was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )released online Aug. 2 in advance of publication in an upcoming print issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
1. Where do you first find the study
A. A magazine.　　　B. A website.　　　 C. A literature.　　 D. An advertisement.
2. Judging from ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )volunteers, 　　　might be more likely to have inflammation.
A. those who were more sensitive to social rejection
B. those who were purposely put into society
C. those who gave a speech before audience
D. those who suffered frequent or chronic illness
3. The author quotes examples of the fourth paragraph mainly to　　　.
A. show further eviden ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ce of how closely our mind and body are connected
B. prove import ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ant differences in how people explain and respond to social situations
C. explain v ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )olunteers are sensitive to social rejection when exposed to social stress
D. make clea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r that how stress caused by social situations breaks down immune system
4. We can infer that　　 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )　if there is inflammatory response in people’s immune system.
A. chronic illness will be caused by the repeated stress
B. doctors can identify the neurocognitive pathways
C. people may avoid being affected by sharp social stress
D. risk of getting various diseases will be reduced

1. as后加an 考查冠词的用法。此处adviser是可数名词，主语为单数故其前加an。
2. see改为ask 考查语意的改错。根据语意应为“问问题”。
3. advices改为advice 考查名词的单复数。此处advice是不可数名词，故不加s。
4. problems后加which考查定语从句的关系词。
5. was改为is 考查动词时态。根据文意此处应为一般现在时。
6. find后加it 考查形式宾语it的用法。动词find后应加形式宾语it，后面的不定式是真正的宾语。
7. but改为and 考查上下文的逻辑关系。根据文意前后为递进关系而不是转折关系。
8. 去掉to 考查动词短语的用法。此处没有被听的对象，故去掉to。
9. whether改为what 考查宾语从句的连接词。此处what作feel的宾语。

Psychologists have dis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )covered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classic experiment, people were shown a vertical（垂直的） line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.
You might think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people was set up, where two of the people were confederates（同伙） of the experimenter. When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers, people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.
But why do peop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le conform in this way In an easy task like this, it seems that people do not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose confidence in their own ability to make decisions and prefer to trust the majority opinion instead.
A typical exam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple of this kind of conformity arises when we come across people in distress. Would you help a woman who has been attacked in the street It turns out that you are much more likely to go to her assistance if you are alone. When other people are also around, a diffusion of responsibility occurs. People are paralysed into inaction, because everyone assumes that someone else will go to the woman's assistance.
1. In Paragraph 1, the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underlined word “conform” probably means “　　　　　 ”.
A. seek independence　　　　 B. disobey orders
C. follow what others do　　　　D. seek pleasure
2. What is the purpose of the experiment described in Paragraph 2
A. To explain why peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple would be influenced by the opinions of others.
B. To prove tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t people are easily influenced by the opinions of others.
C. To train the confed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )erates of the experimenter as independent-minded.
D. To describe how peo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ple would be influenced by the opinions of others.
3. In the las ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t paragraph, according to the author, why wouldn’t one help the woman
A. He thinks he has no responsibilities to give a hand.
B. He thinks he has nothing to do with it.
C. He is too shy to give his helping hand.
D. He thinks someone else will offer assistance.
4. What method does the author mainly use to develop the text
A. Giving examples.　　　　B. Cause-effect analysis.　　　
C. Comparative analysis.　　D. Process analysis.
