阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I grew up in a poor family. When I turned eight, I went to work to polish (打磨) stones after school. My fingers hurt and sometimes badly. I hated the idea of polishing stones in dirty clothes forever. I dreamed of getting a university education and becoming a doctor someday. The other boys working together laughed at me because we were too poor to pay university fees.
After completing secondary school, I went to work in a small hotel. There most of the guests spoke English. I realized it was a good chance to improve my English. Almost every guest was regarded as my teacher. I asked them about words and phrases I picked up from English newspapers left behind.
One day, a foreign lady, Delores, came to the hotel. We spent a good hour trying to figure out the way to the Hawa Mahal. Madam Delores asked, “Do you learn English at school ” “I finished school. I learn English by myself.” I answered. Madam was so impressed with me that she offered help, teaching me English online. After six months, my English greatly improved. I told Madam I planned to do a mechanics (机械学) course, which was free. How she responded changed my life forever: What if I give you the university fee
I accepted her offer after she explained that helping me would make her happy. I remained hard-working at university. Each morning I rose at 6 a.m. to attend university. After class, I headed to work in the hotel. I stole minutes between suitcases (行李箱) to complete homework.
So far, I have completed my MBA. My life, my way of thinking and my opportunities are so different now, all thanks to Madam and the education I received. I began to think about the millions of Indian kids like me. If I could change my life, with the right help, they could change their lives too. So, with Madam’s support, I started a non-profit company to raise excellent learners and thinkers. I’m really happy because I’m doing something good for others, like Madam did for me.

When no one else was able to save a drowning (溺水的) 34-year-old man, a boy weighing only 80 pounds quickly became his hero.
11-year-old Adam was hanging out at the pool of his apartment building with his family when the man sank (下沉) to the bottom of the deep end, his arms spread out and his eyes wide from eight feet down in the water.
Surprisingly, Adam was the only one at the pool who could swim at the time. Before his family had moved to St. Paul, Minnesota three years ago, his parents had never had the ability to take swimming lessons. Luckily, they believed that Adam should have a few swimming lessons. “Some survival skills are a must,” his father said.
When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.
Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.
A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands. Doctors then arrived and took the man to the hospital where he has since made a full recovery (恢复). The man stopped by the boy’s house later the very same week to thank him for saving his life.
“It’s simply wonderful,” said Adam’s uncle. “If he had not been there, I don’t know. I’m sure it would not be a happy ending.” Adam’s father also says that he plans on taking swimming lessons with his son in the near future.
4. Why was Adam sent to take swimming lessons
A. To build up his body. B. To save other people’s life.
C. To keep a healthy weight. D. To keep himself safe in the water.
5. What did his father do before Adam jumped into the pool
A. He sent for doctors. B. He called others for help.
C. He asked Adam to save the man. D. He tried to save the man by himself.
6. What happened to the man after he was pulled out of the pool
A. He thanked Adam. B. Doctors operated on him.
C. He was sent to hospital at once. D. Adam’s uncle gave him first aid.
7. Which word can best describe Adam
A. Brave. B. Polite. C. Clever. D. Proud.
C
Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
8. Why does the author include questions in the text
A. To enrich the content. B. To introduce a new topic.
C. To present different ideas. D. To encourage readers to think.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A The fact about fashion industry. B. Reasons why fashion is important.
C. The price to pay for being fashionable. D. Products popular with fashion followers.
10. Which of the following activities would the author most likely recommend
A Going skiing with friends. B. Starting a new diet with a friend.
C. Changing hairstyles every week. D. Shopping for fashionable clothes.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the latest fashion trends.
B. To tell readers how to remain fashionable.
C. To advise readers to value health over fashion.
D. To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting.
D
Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.
However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smart phones. B. The popularity of smart phones.
C. Bad behaviors in public places. D. Changes brought by technology.
13. What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean
A. At a disadvantage. B. At a loss. C. Out of the way. D. Out of control.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The benefits of smart phones. B. The future trend of smart phones.
C. Reasons for technology addiction. D. The negative impacts of smart phone addiction.
15. What advice does the author give in the text
A. Focus on other activities. B. Stay away from smart phones.
C. Develop and improve self-control. D. Change the habits of smart phone use.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者从小就希望通过教育来改善自己的生活，并为此不懈努力，最后在一位夫人的帮助下，完成了大学学业，改变了自己的生活，并成立一家非营利性公司，希望为他人做些好事。
【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I dreamed of getting a university education and becoming a doctor someday. The other boys working together laughed at me because we were too poor to pay university fees.(我梦想着接受大学教育，有一天成为一名医生。其他一起工作的男孩子嘲笑我，因为我们穷得付不起大学学费)”可推知，作者和男孩们穷得付不起大学学费，而作者确梦想着接受大学教育，所以他们认为作者在做白日梦。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I told Madam I planned to do a mechanics (机械学) course, which was free. How she responded changed my life forever: What if I give you the university fee (我告诉夫人我打算学机械学，那是免费的。她的回答永远地改变了我的生活：如果我给你大学学费呢 )”以及第四段“I accepted her offer after she explained that helping me would make her happy.(在她解释说帮助我能让她开心之后，我接受了她的提议)”可知，夫人为作者提供财政支持来帮助他。故选B项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。纵观全文可知，作者从小就想接受大学教育，为此他会抓住任何机会去学习，在小旅馆工作时，他会通过和客人交谈提高自己的英语，由此，他认识夫人，夫人被他的努力所感动，愿意支付他的大学学费，在大学学习期间，在完成学业的同时，作者也在努力工作，最终他完成了自己的梦想，所以从本文可学到“God helps those who help themselves.(天助自助者)”。故选D项。
B

When trouble struck in the pool, however, Adam’s father had tried to help the man from a swim ring, but he couldn’t reach the man’s hand. Then, Adam jumped into the pool.
Despite the man weighing almost 100 pounds heavier than the boy, Adam successfully managed to pull the man up to the surface and get him out of the pool. Though Adam’s uncle had never received CPR training, he started CPR on the man based on what he had seen in movies and television.
A few minutes later, the man started to move his hands. Doctors then arrived and took the man to the hospital where he has since made a full recovery (恢复). The man stopped by the boy’s house later the very same week to thank him for saving his life.
“It’s simply wonderful,” said Adam’s uncle. “If he had not been there, I don’t know. I’m sure it would not be a happy ending.” Adam’s father also says that he plans on taking swimming lessons with his son in the near future.
4. Why was Adam sent to take swimming lessons

Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging (判断) by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.

Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle.

推理判断题。根据第一段“But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.(但时尚并不是一切。做一个健康舒适的人更重要)”以及第三段“Fashion should not come first.

Technology use seems to be the new wave of addiction hitting people of all ages. The next time you’re in a crowded public place, look at the people around you. It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. I’ve seen people who seem to be at their wits’ end if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.
Some people may ask, “What’s wrong with technology use It’s a way for people to communicate.” While this is true, the overuse of technology isn’t always suitable in certain settings. Schools are becoming stricter about the use of mobile phones, iPods and other electronics in classrooms. Various workplaces have signs hanging on their walls warning employees that “Mobile phone use is not permitted.”
Electronics may be a way for people to communicate and stay in touch with each other, but the disadvantages may outweigh the benefits. People are losing the ability to hold face-to-face conversations with others.
However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.
Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.
12. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Addiction to smart phones. B. The popularity of smart phones.
C. Bad behaviors in public places. D. Changes brought by technology.
13. What does the underlined phrase “at their wits’ end” in paragraph I probably mean
A. At a disadvantage. B. At a loss. C. Out of the way. D. Out of control.
14. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The benefits of smart phones. B. The future trend of smart phones.
C. Reasons for technology addiction. D. The negative impacts of smart phone addiction.
15. What advice does the author give in the text
A. Focus on other activities. B. Stay away from smart phones.
C. Develop and improve self-control. D. Change the habits of smart phone use.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，第一段描述了智能手机成瘾现象。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s hard to find someone who isn’t glued to the tiny screen, fingers moving at lightning speeds, texting their friends, emailing co-workers or listening to music. It may seem ridiculous (荒谬的) that someone is that addicted to such a small object. (很难找到一个不粘在小屏幕上、手指以闪电般的速度移动、给朋友发短信、给同事发邮件或听音乐的人。有人对这么小的东西如此上瘾，这似乎很荒谬)”可知，人们对智能手机很上瘾。再根据下文“if their phone has been taken away, lost or left at home.(如果他们的手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里)”可知，人们手机成瘾，如果手机被拿走、丢失或丢在家里，人们就会不知所措。由此推知，划线部分at their wits’ end与at a loss(不知所措)意思接近。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, it’s hard to avoid electronics in this day and age because almost everything is turning into an electronic format. Books, originally meant for paper design, are now being transferred (转存) to electronic forms. Photo albums, and even yearbooks, can now be viewed via the Internet. With this growing trend (趋势), future generations certainly become even more addicted to technology.(然而，在这个时代很难避免电子产品，因为几乎所有东西都在变成电子格式。原本用于纸面设计的书籍，现在正转变为电子形式。相册，甚至年鉴现在都可以通过互联网浏览。随着这一趋势的发展，未来的几代人肯定会更加沉迷于科技)”可知，第四段主要是关于智能手机的未来趋势。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Is there a cure for electronic addiction Simply turning electronics off for an hour or two a day may help to an extent, but it will not completely overcome electronic addiction. There only seems to be one cure left, and it may be the hardest: self-control.(有治疗电子成瘾的方法吗 简单地每天关掉电子设备一两个小时可能会在一定程度上有所帮助，但它不会完全克服电子成瘾。似乎只有一种治疗方法，而且可能是最难的：自我控制)”可知，关于治疗手机上瘾，作者在文中给出的建议是发展和提高自我控制能力。故选C项。
