A
Maybe you know the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this 36 when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while 37 the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this Because criticisms are always 38 ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We 39 our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) old tales 40 the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king 41 both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and 42 after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone 43 than himself.
When Fool Dic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )k returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself. 44 Wise Nelson says that he was 45 to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.21世纪教育网版权所有
Moral of the story is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) something about human 46 . Good people always look at their own 47 and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and 48 themselves more qualified than others.

B
The world ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )has never faced so much trouble before. People are 49 within themselves about natural resources, territories and especially religions. In my opinion, laughter is a universal language, which has the ability to 50 humanity without religions. Laughter can build a common connection between various religions and create a new world 51 . The idea may sound over-ambitious, and maybe it is. But maybe it is not. It is our deep 52 that laughter and only the laughter can unite the world, holding up a 53 sense of brotherhood and friendship.
Studies also ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) show that laughter helps your body to do the following: lower blood pressure; lighten depression; reduce stress; work out the heart, 54 for those who are unable to perform 55 exercise. So in life, when you can laugh, you should laugh loudly and with your entire body—because it’s good for you.
49. A. in peace B. in difficulty C. at war D. among challenge

55. A mental B. heart C. physical D. morning
三、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
“How did Norman know, Sister Emma ”
“He overheard you a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
“Since you could ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
“And then ”
“Then I began my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
“But who killed Norman ”
“Norman knew that s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
There was a pause.
56. What may have happened to Aryan
A. He was killed by poison. B. He was found missing.
C. He was poiso ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned but saved. D. He went away with what he had found.
57. What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back
A. She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
B. She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
C. She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
D. She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
58. What can we conclude from the above story
A. Abbess served ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the detective. B. Emma knows all the people mentioned.
C. Aryan was sent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to kill Abbess but failed. D. Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.
59. Which of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the following might be true according to the above passage
A. Abbess hired ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Norman to fight against Aryan. B. Norman told everything to Emma.
C. Aryan w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orked for the detective. D. All the people came from the capital.
B
How did your frie ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndships begin Most start with a short conversation on a random day. Asking about a homework assignment in class or complaining about your painful legs after playing in a soccer game, you found your best pal by accident.
“Small talk is w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.
The following is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let’s have a look.
1 Getting started
Begin by talk ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you 21·cn·jy·com
are in (“It’s c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )old in here, isn’t it ”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.
②The personal introduction
You should mention som ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ething about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.
③Looking for topics
At this point, you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things you’ve said or heard earlier. Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.
④Expanding the topic
The goal is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.
⑤A polite ending
When ending ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a conversation, let the person know you’ll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here’s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”
60. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to ________.
A. find common ground B. impress the other person
C. make a conversation D. make the room warmer
61. What does the underlined word “dominate” mean in Tip④
A. interrupt B. control C. adapt D. simplify
62. When ending a conversation, you’d better ________.
A. talk about how mu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch you want to keep talking B. show that you’ve not enjoyed the talk
C. mention a specific movie that you love
D. give your opinion about the other person’s earlier comments
63. The main purpose of the article is to ________.
A. encourage studen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts to make more friends B. give students tips on making small talk
C. introduce popular topics for students
D. teach students how to create friendships
C
It’s such a shame to l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ose a free throw. Playing in the court has pressure from the opponent, time, your teammates, the audience, and yourself. You have to shoot the ball despite all the pressures around. But with a free throw, you have the ball, no one will try to get it from you, and you have all the time to shoot the ball. But why is it that many players, even good shooters, miss most of their free throws Maybe they need more practice or maybe they need to apply more ways to improve their free throw.
Improve your player or your free throwing skills by following the tips below:
Make it persona ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l. The truth is, there is no rule on how one should handle and throw the ball in a free throw. What matters is that the player should shoot the ball from the free throw line no matter how he does it. So when trying to improve your free throw shooting, better stick to what works the best for you. Do not copy other people’s techniques. Make it your own and leave those techniques as theirs.
Formulate (公式化) a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) repetitive way of shooting the ball. A free throw should be personalized. But it should also be repetitive. You should be able to repeat your free throw techniques whether you are in your court or in another court, whether you are energized or tired. You can’t say you have a personal free throw technique if you can’t repeat it over and over again.
Shoot at the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ame position and distance for every free throw. Basketball courts may be located in different places or maybe marked with different paint colors. But all of these courts maintain the same distance from the ring to the free throw line. Familiarize your perfect position when making your free throws. That should help you do your perfect throw.
64. Why do so many players fail to make a successful free throw
A. Because they don’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t have any special skills.B. Because they are lacking in practice and tips.
C. Because they are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) not so familiar with rules. D. Because many of them are green hands.
65. What can you do if you want to be a wonderful free thrower
A. Learn from others. B. Form your own throwing skills.
C. Keep active in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e court. D. Learn to throw in different locations.
66. The underli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ned word “ring” in the last paragraph may most probably mean “________”.
A. sound B. basket C. ball D. group
67. Which of the follo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wing might serve as the best title of the above passage
A. How to play basketball successfully in the court.
B. How to improve your basketball throw skills.
C. How to g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain more points in throwing. D. How to improve your basketball free throwing.
D
During the F ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )irst World War, some Americans indirectly benefited because of the war. With two million white men fighting in Europe and no new immigrants entering the country, many jobs in the United States became available to blacks and women for the first time.
Both groups prove ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
Women who did not t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ake jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
American manufac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )turers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
White Americans ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.
68. Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I
A. They were ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) taken to serve the war. B. They had their equal right at that time.
C. Workforce w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )as in great need. D. They had better productivities.
69. Which of the following is Untrue according to the above passage
A. Blacks women were not allowed to fight in World War I.
B. All American ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )women went to work during World War I.
C. Northern cities applied more blacks during World War I.
D. Women and blacks earned a lot during World War I.
70. Which of the following is the main idea of the whole passage
A. Americans benefited a lot from World Ward I.
B. World War I had strong effect on America.
C. Some Americans benefited from World War I indirectly.
D. U.S.A. women and blacks contributed much in World War I.
71. Which of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollowing shows the right structures of the above passage
A. →→ B. →→→→ C. →→→ D. →→

Thoughts claim ou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r attention continuously, and waste our time and energy on unimportant and useless matters. They actually rule our life. We have become so used to this slavery, that we take it for granted, and have become unconscious of this habit, except on certain occasions.www-2-1-cnjy-com
While breathing, w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e do not need to pay attention to each inhalation and exhalation. We become conscious of the process of breathing only when we have some difficulty with breathing, such as when our nose is blocked, due to a cold, or when we are in an unventilated(不通风的) room.
It is the same wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th thinking. We become conscious of the constant onslaught of our thoughts, and of our inability to calm them down, only when we need to concentrate, solve a problem or study. We are also aware of them when we have worries or fears.
Look at the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following familiar situation. You need to study something for an exam. You sit comfortably on the sofa with the book in your hands and start reading. After a while you feel hungry and go to the kitchen to eat something.
You return to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) read, and then hear your people talking outside. You listen to them for several moments and then bring your attention back to the book.
After a while yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )u feel restless and switch on the radio to listen to some music. You continue to read for a little while, and then remember something that happened yesterday, and you start thinking about it.
When you look at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )your watch, you are amazed to find out that one complete hour has passed and you have hardly read anything. And at this time, you feel you’re thinking.
This is what happe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns when one lacks concentration. Imagine what you could have accomplished if you could control your attention and focus your mind!
72. When can you feel you are thinking
A. While breathing. B. While not reading.
C. When you need to concentrate. D. When you waste your time. 21·世纪*教育网
73. Why does the author put forward the exam situation
A. To explain t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he course of thinking awareness. B. To show how to get ready for an exam.
C. To present an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )example of concentration. D. To emphasize the importance of reading.
74. Where can you most probably find the above passage

C. In an a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dvertisement part of a magazine. D. In the section of psychology of a magazine.
75. This passage is mainly about _______.
A. the relationshi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p between thoughts and breathing B. how people’s thought and mind work
