A
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
Bill Javis took ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )over our village’s news-agency at a time of life when most of us only wanted to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-a gency was ready-made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.
Every day he opened hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s shop at 6:00 a. m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his doorstep before that. Many of Bill’s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o’clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the after noon, for most likely Bill would be down on the river bank, fishing, and his neatest competitor was five kilometers away. Sometimes in the afternoon-, the evening paper landed on the doorway, and at 4 o’ clock Bill reopened his shop. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.
He lived in a fla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t above the ship, alone. Except in the very bad weather, you always knew where to find him in the af ternoon, as I have said. Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village. By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was aston ished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair with a line in the, water. He had no luck, I could, see, but he was making no effort to move.
“What’s wrong, Bill ” I called out from the path.
For answer, he put a h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and in his jacket and took out a big, golden object. For a moment I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire en gine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, "Ten to four, you see, and this is dead right. "
I had never known anyo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne carrying a brass alarm clock round with him before.
1. Bill Javis became a news-agent when ________.
A. he need the money. B. he decided to take things easy
C. he was quite an old man D. he gave up clock-repairing
2. Bill opened the shop so early in the day because ________.
A. he liked to do as much as possible before he went to work
B. the shop had to be open when the morning papers came
C. he was never sure of time
D. it was then that he did a lot of business
3. On that sunny aft ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ernoon, the writer was surprised when he saw Bill because ________.
A. he thought it was late for Bill to be still fishing
B. he thought Bill was ill, since he was not moving at all
C. Bill had not caught anything, and that seemed strange
D. Bill stayed in his flat
4. From the informatio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n given in the passage, who or what do you think was wrong
A. The bell was; it must have gone off at the wrong time.
B. Bill was; he had dropped off to sleep.
C. The writer’s watch was fast.
D. Bill’s clock was wrong; it was old.
【参考答案及解析】
1. C 推断题。at a time of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) life when most of us only wanted to relax和He had been a long-serving sailor这两点说明他已上了年纪。
2. D 推断题。第二段开头说他6点开门，报纸在这之前已送到，而且还可以catch the early trade。
3. A 推断题。Bill通常4点会重新开店，而那天作者的表已过4点，Bill还没有离开的意思，所以他非常惊讶。
4. C 细节题。A项中g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o off是爆发，产生很大声音；B项中drop off to sleep是不知不觉入睡；文章中倒数第二段最后一句话this is dead right 中dead是“非常，完全”的意思，可见，Bill的clock没错。
B
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
When I decided to quit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my job as a wedding photographer, I was in my late twenties, fresh from my divorce from Bob who had left me empty and confused. I decided to leave the US and travel. I had no savings, plus more than $5,000 in debt. What I did have were two sponsored tasks as a travel photographer- and with that along, I thought, it would be easy.
My first experienc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e was a road trip from Toronto to Las Vegas, paid for by a car delivery service. Other trips followed and then I started a travel blog (博客). It was intended to be my calling card for assignment travel photography. Yet even with my blog and past experience, email after email I sent to publications, trying to get work, went unanswered. When they did get in touch, editors told me that I had no chance of making a career with travel photography. While I struggled to get on the path that I wanted, and as I expanded my blog to help get me there, I found myself wearing the hat of a full-time blogger.
Luckily, I got in at t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he right time. It was 2010，and the travel industry was just starting to turn its attention to bloggers. As I never could have predicted, my blogging-not my photography-did take me around the world successfully. At first，I thought it was for personal reasons, but I realized later that it was for free marketing for my blogging.
Within two years, I wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s being asked to speak at travel blogging conferences, which helped me to raise a network of friends around the world. Even more meaningful, however, was when I saw that my travels were also helping other people. My blog and social media followers saw that I chased my dreams and told me over and over again how they needed that kind of example, which was absent in their lives elsewhere.

二、阅读理解
阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
What makes a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )person a scientist？Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？The answer is “NO”．It is not what the tools that a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.You will probably agree that knowing how to use the power is important to a carpenter (木匠)．You will probably agree，too，that knowing how to investigate (调查)，how to discover information，is important to everyone.The scientist，however，goes one step further，he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed (确认) by other persons.He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s knowledge must be exact.There is no room for half right or right just half the time.He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit.What works under one set of conditions sometimes must work under the same conditions at other times.If the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.This is one reason that investigations are important in science.Albert Einstein，who developed the theory of relativity，arrived at this theory through mathematics.The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations.Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct.A scientist uses many tools for measurements.Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
1．What makes a scientist according to the passage
A．The tools he uses. B．His ways of learning.
C．The ways he uses his tools. D．The different tools.
解析： 细节理解题。由第一段 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“It is not what the tools that a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist.”可知。
答案： C
2．What can we learn from the passage
A．The scientist’s knowledge is always right under all conditions.
B．When the cond ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ition changes，the result of the observation may also change.
C．Condition makes no difference to scientists.
D．There’s no point for ordinary people knowing how to investigate.
解析： 细节理解题。由第二段“If ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the conditions are different，any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration (演示) must be explained by the changes in the conditions.”可知。
答案： B
3．“The scientist，how ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever，goes one step further，...”the author says this to show ________.
A．the importance of information
B．the importance of thinking
C．the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D．the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs
解析： 句意理解题。上文提到了如何调查， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )如何发现信息对每个人来说都很重要，下文用however引起转折，说明科学家们应该更进一步，他必须确保问题有合理的答案。故此处的the scientist，however，goes one step further，...用来说明科学家和普通人的不同之处。
答案： C
4．A scientific theory should be one that________.
A．not only works under ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) one set of conditions sometimes，but also works under the same conditions at other times
B．leaves no room for improvement
C．does not allow any change even under different conditions
D．can be used for many purposes
解析： 细节理解题。由“Wh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at works under one set of conditions sometimes must work under the same conditions at other times.”可知答案。
答案： A
5．What is the main idea of the passage
A．Scientists are different from ordinary people.
B．The theory of relativity.
C．Exactness is the center of science.
D．Exactness ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and way of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.
解析： 主旨大意题。本文第一句“What ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )makes a person a scientist？”提出了文章的主题，第一段论述“how a scientist uses these tools makes him a scientist”，第二段论述“The scientist’s knowledge must be exact”，故D正确。其余各项只是文章中的细节。
答案： D。
三、任务型阅读（共10小题）
请认真阅读短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格填入最恰当的单词（每空限填1词）。
A conflict at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.
★Be aware of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
★ Deal with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
★ Ask nicel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.
★ Appreciate. Praise ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.
Topic How to 1. ______ conflicts at work
Reason Conflicts won't 2. ______ if not dealt with
3. _____ onhandling conflicts ● Don't be afraid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of conflicts which can happen in many 4. ______ and try to resolve a conflict soon or it will get 5. ______●Interrupt the "waiting game" and try to admit your 6. ______ actively.● Don’t imagine people do something to make you 7. ______ on purpose.● Remember not to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )8. ______ others, but ask them nicely about what they do, which may make a difference.● Try to appreciate the other part in the conflict although it is 9. ______ to do so.
10. If you learn to do with conflicts, you'll work in joy.

四、书面表达
最近，很多中学生都纷纷开起了自己的博客 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。一方面，博客可以作为展示自己的窗口，可以释放学习的压力，因此已经被越来越多的中学生所接受。但是，另一方面，很多家长和老师都认为管理个人博客要花相当多的时间和精力，会耽误学习。
请对这一现象进行简要介绍，并发表自己的看法。

【参考答案】书面表达：
Nowadays, it is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to showcase their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students.
But many parents an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d teachers hold a different view, they think that managing one’s blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.
In my opinion, I do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )approve of this activity. Opening and organizing an eye catching blog needs various abilities such as writing, designing, being skilful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. As a consequence, we improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs.
Blog itself is o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f little harm. It is your attitude towards it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects.英语选修九译林牛津版U2 同步基础练习题（1）及答案

二、完形填空
The health-ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re economy is filled with unusual and even unique economic relationships. One of the least understood involves the 1 roles of producer or “provider” and purchaser or “consumer” in the typical doctor-patient relationship. In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a(n) 2 buyer with various inducements (引诱) of price, quality, and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. Such condition,
3 , is not common in most of the health-care industry.
In the hea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lth-care industry, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the
4 relationship between producer and consumer. Once an individual has chosen to see a physician—and even then there may be no real choice– it is the physician who usually makes all significant 5 decisions: whether the patient should return “next Wednesday,” whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc. It is a rare and experienced patient who will 6 such decisions made by experts or raise in advance questions about price, especially when the disease is regarded as 7 .
This is particula ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rly 8 in relation to hospital care. The physician must give evidence of the 9 for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be allowed to leave. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are 10 . Little wonder then that in the eye of the hospital it is the physician who is the real “consumer.” As a consequence, the 11 represents the “power center” in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.
Although usually ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )there are in this situation four recognizable participants — the physician, the hospital, the patient, and the payer (generally an insurance carrier or government) — the physician makes the 12 for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physician; the payer generally 13 most of the bills generated by the physician/hospital; and for the most part the patient plays a 14 role. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health-care 15 are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy directed at patients or the general are relatively ineffective.
1. A. peculiar B. normal C. minor D. vital
2. A. eager B. potential C. overseas D. reluctant

As I grew old ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, my dad and 1 grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions.

There was a time when we did not talk with each other.

Fishing has heen healing the old wounds that have kept us apart.
It is not important ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I' m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years.Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
（A）
Liu Hui is very ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) excited. The students in a school in Shanghai will go to the USA with his parents during the Spring Festival.
“Overseas touring has always been a dream for me,” he said happily.
Nowadays, Chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nese people enjoy longer holidays, such as the three “Golden Week Holidays”(the Spring Festival, May Day and National Day). They have more time to travel. Rising incomes also make travelling abroad realistic for ordinary Chinese people.
Nearly 7 millio ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, according to the National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局). The most common problem travellers face is how to choose the best routes(路线).
By the end of 2002 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), Chinese citizens were allowed to travel to 19 foreign countries and regions at their own expense.
The top 10 places i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncluded Hong Kong, Macao and Thailand. European countries are also becoming increasingly popular.
“More and more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Chinese people have shown interest in travelling to Europe, particularly France and Finland,” said Tan Wen, a general manager of China Youth Travel Service. “Sooner or later, there will be a peak（高峰） in European tours.”
Another consid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eration is choosing the right travel agencies and finding the best price. The China Consumers’ Association（CCA，中国消费者协会）offered tips to consumers on choosing the right travel agencies to help prevent a relaxing vacation from turning into a costly disaster.
“Price should not be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the single most important factor in choosing a travel agency,” said Zhang Yuanchao, CCA vice-secretary general. Consumers are advised to choose large State travel agencies with good reputations and official approval to organize overseas tour groups.
Zhang’s association ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dealt with more than 5, 000 complaints about travel agencies（旅行社） last year. And the majority of the complaints were about random changes in travel routes, bad tour guides, and forced shopping.
Travellers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )were warned to look carefully at their contracts with agencies and to buy travel insurance(保险).
1．How many reasons a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re given in the article as to why ordinary Chinese people are traveling abroad more today
A．Two. B．Three. C．Four. D．Five.
2．According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the passage, what is the biggest problem Chinese travelers face when going overseas
A．Choosing the best travel agent.
B．Deciding the best way to get to the places they want to go to.
C．Traveling to Europe.
D．Cost.
3．According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, what seems to be the most common result of choosing a bad travel agency
A．People buy more souvenirs than they had planned to.
B．People spend more money than they had planned to.
C．People go to different places than they had palnned to.
D．People complained more than they had planned to.
4．The underlined part “random changes” probably means that .
A．the travelers agreed with the changes.
B．the travel agency didn’t make any changes.
C．the travel agency refused to changes the routes.
D．the travel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) agency changed the routes or time without following the original plan
（B）
The Luck of the Irish
Look at a map of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Britain, and the island on the left is Ireland. It’s a small but beautiful country with a long tradition of folk music. Up until 10 years ago just about the only thing that Ireland was famous for was its specialty black beer.
Now Ireland is fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ous around the world for its music with names like "Kenya","U2" ,"Van Morrison"and more recently "the Corers". "Boyzone", one of the world's top boy bands ,is from Ireland too.What's more,Boyzone member Shane has twin sisters, Adele and Heavy, who are members of "B Witched"
The "Boyzone"s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tory is interesting because they were created in 1993 by Dublin nightclub owner John Reynolds.They advertised in newspapers to find members for the group and 300 wannabe pop stars applied!
Ronan,who was just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )17 when he dropped out of school to make his bid for stardom,and Shane,who had been working as trained mechanic in his father's garage when he left to join Boyzone,were both lucky enough to be chosen. The other members are shoe-shop attendant Stephen lately,former mechanic Mike Graham and one-time clothes store assistant Keith Dully.
Many people expec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t bands that have been created by the music industry to produce boring music which doesn't become popular. Even the boys themselves knew they would not easily achieve international pop music success.
Boyzone qui ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ckly proved that they were more than just pretty faces and have sold millions of records around the world.At the moment ,they are not big stars in America,but they say that will change,when they begin a tour of the United States.
Ronan will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )shortly also start recording as a solo artist. That does not mean the band will spilt yet,but we can expect Boyzone to split sometime in the next 18 months or so.Ronan has also recently become involved as one of the managers of new Irish boy band "West Life" whose song "Swear It Again"has recently been Number 1 in the British charts.
5．Ireland is famous for now.
A．its black beer B．its long tradition
C．popular music D．its scenery
6．The words “wannabe pop stars” in the third paragraph mean .
A．the pops who want to join the band
B．the persons who want to become pop stars
C．the pop stars who want to become more popular
D．the persons who want to be as famous as they are
7．Acording to the passage, we know that .
A．Boy zone will split some day
B．Boy zone was successful because it was created by music industry
C．The boys in Boy zo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne were certain that they would be famous one day
D．Boy zone are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) going to perform in the States for Americans love them very much

It is difficult fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework，but with one of the following suggestions，you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ildren the impression that they can never do anything quite right，then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons.Unless children believe they can succeed，they will never become totally independent.
My daughter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Carla’s fifth grade teacher made every child in her class feel special.When students received less than a prefect test score，she would point out what they had mastered and declared firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ame technique when you evaluate (评价) your child’s work at home.Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead.Talk about what he has done right，not about what he hasn’t done.If your child completes a difficult task，promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a process of trying and failing and trying and succeeding.If you teach your children not to fear a mistake of failure，they will learn faster and achieve success at last.

Stepping into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a pool of fish In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been!
What caused ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )this strange occurrence This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm. When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners (吸尘器) collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropped them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y seem unusual, fish-falls occur frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, "They look like millions of dead birds falling down." His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with it infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.
1. What is this passage about
A. A wonder of rain. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. The Climate in Australia's northern part.
C. A rain of fish. D. The damage done by floods.
2. Fish-falls occur in Australia _____.

When Frida Ka ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hlo's paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven. Her spine （脊柱）become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but noting was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got marri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately, her wo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rks did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.
64. What does the phr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most nearly mean
A. a far better artis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t B. a for more gifted artist
C. a much stronger person D. a much more famous person
65. The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .
A. polio B. her bent spine
C. back injuries D. the operations she had
66. Kahlo’s style ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had become increasingly independent since the .
A.1930s B. 1940s C. 1950s D. 1970s
67. What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo
A. Devotion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Sympathy C. Worry D. Encouragement
64、D 我们可以用better 和gifted来描写她，但是文章中说她的主要悲剧是不被大众认识。
65、C 文章依据就是school bus accident.

The Most Direct Solution to Any Problem
When trying to solv ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e various problems in life，an approach I find very useful is to first identify what I’d consider the most direct solution，regardless of how I feel about actually implementing (实施) it.What is the clearest，most direct path to my goal or the most efficient way to get around an obstacle
Many problems will ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve multiple direct solutions，but often these solutions will be unpleasant at first glance because they’ll require courage，self discipline，creativity，or persistence to implement.__1__
For example，suppose y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ou want to lose weight.And suppose we can say that one of direct solutions is to eat the same as you’re eating now and increase your exercise output by 500 calories a day.__2__It may require discipline and persistence，but most people would agree that it will work if you follow through.
Another example：__3 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )__However，you don’t know how that person feels about you.One direct solution would be to simply walk up，explain your thoughts and feelings，and ask if she or he is interested in discussing the possibility of a closer relationship.This will take less than a minute to say，and whatever the outcome is，at least you know where you stand.__4__Anyhow it’s very simple and straightforward.
__5__What’s the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )implest and quickest way to reach your goal，assuming that you had limitless courage and discipline
A．Of course this sol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ution may require a lot of courage to overcome the possibility of rejection.
B．But if we c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an get ourselves to follow through，we know the solutions will actually work.
C．See if you ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n identify the most direct solution to some of your problems.
D．So the bes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t way to overcome the difficulty is to ask your friends for advice.
E．If you implement this rather simple solution，you’ll lose weight.
F．Suppose you’re interested in starting a relationship with someone.
G．However，the solution implemented does not work.

（A）
Dr. Glenn Tisman, a ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncer specialist, knew his young neighbor, Ray Bateman, had an unusual mind. But he had no idea at the time that 12 - year – old Ray had the ability to become his partner in cancer research.
Ray’s parents rem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )embered that at age four, Ray surprised them by fixing a broken vacuum cleaner（吸尘器）. When he was ten, he speedily constructed the family color television from a kit. Later, he succeeded in assembling（组装） a complex stereo system after two experts had failed to do the job.
When Ray was ten, h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e convinced his parents to buy him a computer. In a short time, Ray was able to do amazing things with the computer. Ray shared his enthusiasm for computers with Dr. Tisman, who used a computer for his research. The two discussed computers and medicine frequently. Amazingly, Ray understood the biology and chemistry related to Dr. Tisman’s medical research without any previous instruction.
Ray then worked with D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r. Tisman after school. He helped conduct research with the equipment and kept it in working order. The purpose of the research was to test the effectiveness of mixing an old cancer drug with certain vitamins. Ray analyzed patient test results by computer, while Dr. Tisman handled all patient contact. Together, they came up with solid research that helped advance cancer treatment.
In 1988, 14 - year ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )- old Ray went with Dr. Tisman to a meeting of the American Federation for Clinical Research（AFCR）, where Ray presented their initial research findings. Using terminology（术语） beyond the grasp of most kids his age, Ray told the scientists how the new drug mixture caused fewer and milder side effects for cancer patients.
A year later, R ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ay returned to the meeting to update the findings of his and Dr. Tisman’s research. By then, he had become well - known for his devotion to finding cures for sick patients. Stories about him appeared in hundreds of newspapers around the world. He appeared on television newscasts and talk shows.
Ray continued ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to spend most free hours working with Dr. Tisman. The two began studying the effects of vitamins on babies inside the womb（子宫）. However, Ray’s main interest remained cancer treatment, and he continues his research today.

A. is a boy of many gifts
B. is very helpful to his parents
C. learned fast under Dr. Tisman’s instruction
D. stopped working with Dr. Tisman after his success
2. What do we know about Dr. Tisman
A. He succeeded in finding cures for cancer.
B. He made a new discovery in cancer treatment.
C. He convinced Ray to become a partner of him.
D. He taught Ray knowledge related to his research.
3. What made Ray first known to the medical world
A. His presentation at AFCR. B. His great skills in computer.
C. His devotion to ca ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncer research. D. His appearance on television newscasts.
4. Dr. Tisman’s research is aimed at ______.
A. providing different cancer treatments
B. proving the effects of vitamins on babies
C. finding the side effects of a cancer drug
D. testing the effectiveness of a new drug mixture

Schools of robotic f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ish could be sent into the Thames to produce a 3D pollution map of the river.
Researchers a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the University of Essex in Colchester are working on the robotic fish as part of a ￡2.5million EU-funded project to find new ways of monitoring water waste.
Each fish will be a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout 50cm long, 15cm high and 12cm wide. They will be packed with pollution sensors（传感器）that can electronically "smell" harmful chemicals in the water.
Scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have developed “swarm（群）intelligence techniques” which allow the fish to work as a team without humans.
The robotic fis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h will communicate with each other using wi-fi as they seek out areas of pollution. They work out where they are with inbuilt GPS systems and artificial intelligence software will enable them to move without the need for a human operator: they will only warn staff if areas of pollution are found.
A fish that f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inds pollution sends the data of the location to others.
“Each school wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll contain five fish, and they will constantly monitor for pollutants,” said Dr. Dongbing Gu, who is leading the research.
“When they find some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thing, they will send a message to the rest of the school, who will then gather in the area to take readings.”
The fish mo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve their bodies up and down like waves—driven by motors—and use fins and a tail to change direction. It is hoped they will travel at speeds of up to half a metre per second.
Working models co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld be available within 18 months. Different sensors will be fitted to hunt for different pollutants（污染物）. The data could be used to build a “real time” 3D map of areas of pollution in the water, allowing operators to determine the best way to clean up the area.
The fish wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll initially be used in ports to monitor leaks from large ships, but Dr Gu said the same system could be used in the Thames. Researchers hope the robotic fish will be able to spend up to 24 hours in the water before needing to be recharged.
5. The purpose of the robotic fish project is to ________.
A. find out whether inbuilt GPS systems are useful
B. find new ways to monitor water waste
C. prove that robotic fish can be sent into the Thames
D. test the speed of the robotic fish
6. Robotic fish can find harmful pollutants by using ________.
A. GPS systems B. a 3D pollution map
C. pollution sensors D. fins and a tail
7. According to t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The robotic fish have been used in ports as well as in the Thames.
B. It takes 24 hours for robotic fish to be recharged.
C. The robotic fish can work as a team without humans.
D. The robotic fish can not change direction in water.
8. The passage mainly tells us about _________.
A. the robotic fish t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o smell out pollutants B. a ￡2.5 million EU-funded project
C. researchers w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orking on robotic fish D. a 3D pollution map of the Thames

The key to preve ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nting and recovering from subhealth，according to some medical experts，is to form good living habits，alternate work and rest，exercise regularly，and take part in open air activities.
