阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
Never before in Ch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm. Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary (烹饪) landscape.
According to Taobao, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.
However, one ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film .Formaldehyde(甲醛) sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”
A varied and ancien ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this: one can only sigh. Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry is a typical description of “bad money driving out the good”. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous (不道德的) businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. In order to allow national brands to survive, Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations.
As the docume ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ntary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity.
5. The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means________.
A. beautiful clo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )thes B. latest technology
C. delicious food D. great inventions
6. The second paragraph mainly talks about______.
A. the produ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )cer of the document B. the content of the document
C. the history of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Chinese gourmet D. The popularity of the document
7. We can infer from w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat a netizen wrote in one well –received article that ______.
A. none of the tel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )evision viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture
B. there is a huge c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ontrast between the ancient food culture and the reality
C. the price of food is too high for many common people
D. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director
8. According to the p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )assage, China’s food industry is full of faking and cheating because_____.
A. there are still so many poor people at the present time
B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough
C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so
D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countries

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
For a while, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
Well, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet take a real pounding（重击）running down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts.” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) enjoy something that brought me pain And that wasn’t just the first week;it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog
I don’t j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )og any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
9. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “them”(Paragraph 3) most probably refers to _____.
A. heart attacks B. back problems
C. famous joggers D. physical weaknesses
10. What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning
A. He felt it was worth a try. B. He was very fond of it.
C. He was stron ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gly against it. D. He thought it must be painful.
11. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later
A. He disliked d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oing exercise outside. B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C. He was afraid of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )having a heart attack. D. He was worried about being left alone.
12. From the writer’s experience, we can conclude that______.
A. not everyone en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )joys jogging B. he is the only person who hates jogging
C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport

FRIDAY, Dec． ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )5, 2008—College students who think all-night study sessions will help them remember facts might want to get some sleep instead．That's the message from a new study that finds that as you sleep, the mind consolidates the things you learn during the day．
Study participants who ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) learned how to play a video game in the morning or evening did a better job the next day after a night's rest, apparently because their brains were actively absorbing what they'd learned as they slept．
The finding sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ows "that sleep is not just a passive state when no information is coming in," said Howard Nusbaum, a professor of psychology at the University of Chicago．
For the stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y, the researchers recruited 200 college students．Most of them weren't very familiar with playing video games．Some of the participants learned how to play the games in the morning, while others learned in the evening．The researchers then tested the subjects on the video games 12 hours later and 24 hours later．
Those who took ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) part in the morning training sessions showed an average eight-percentage-point improvement in their performance immediately after training．They performed more poorly—scoring four percentage points better—12 hours later．But they scored 10 percentage points better the next morning．
"If we train you i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n the morning and come back at the end of the day, you forget some of what you learned," Nusbaum said．"But if you sleep after that, it restores some of what you learned．"
The students who to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ok part in the evening training sessions performed better the next morning after sleeping, than they did after being trained．
The role that dreams ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) play in the learning process—if any—isn't clear．But some dreams could serve as a kind of practice for the brain, Nusbaum said．"If you play a video game a lot, and you're playing in your dreams, maybe that could help you learn．"
Jerry Siegel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), professor at the Center for Sleep Research at the University of Calfornia, Los Angeles, said going without sleep hurts performance, but he's not convinced that sleep itself actively contributes to learning．
"If you take a br ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eak for a few hours, it can easily be shown that learning did occur, because performance is better at the start of a new learning session than it was at the end of the initial session," he said．"No sleep needs to occur for this to happen．"
Still, Siegel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) suggested that sleep before learning a skill is crucial．"For long-term retention, it is more important to be well rested and therefore attentive when you are doing the learning than afterwards," he said．"It is even better if you don't have to choose and get your natural amounts of sleep every day．"
9 What does the underlined word ‘want’ （in Paragraph 1） mean
A．lack B．wish C．desire D．need
10 What is mainly talked about in this text
A．The effect of video games on learning
B．The relation between sleep and learning．
C．The role of dreams in the learning process
D．The difference between morning and evening trainings．
11 What would be the best title for the text
A．Sleep strengthens learning． B．Dreams clearly help learning．
C．A break befo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re learning is better． D．Video games improve performance．
12 Which of th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e following statements is true according to the passage
A．Training in the morning showed better results at once．
B．Learning won’t occur during sleeping without dreams．．
C．Sleeping well helps to absorb what one learned
D．Studying all night helps to remember more facts．

Going on holiday not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) only makes you feel good while you’re there—you gain the health benefits for months，new research shows.
Jetting off to exotic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) destinations such as the Maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found.The benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some cases where it is claimed.Experts say workers should always take their full holiday entitlement each year—as many as one in three don’t—to get the benefits.
The study compared ke ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y health markers in holidaymakers visiting Thailand, Peru or the Maldives, with people who stayed at home and continued working. The average blood pressure of those on holiday dropped by six percent while the workers saw their blood pressure rise by two percent over the same period.The sleep quality of holidaymakers improved by 17 percent while that of the non－holidaymakers deteriorated_by 14 percent.
The study als ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o found the ability of vacationers to recover from stress－known as the stress－resilience test－improved by 29 percent. There was a 71 percent fall in stress resilience scores among workers. Tests showed a fall in blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of diabetes, trimmer waistlines and enhanced mood and energy levels, with the effects sustained for at least two weeks after returning home.

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。
Honesty，my mum always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )used to tell me，is the best policy.Of course，this didn't include her when she told me that if I didn't eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn't give me any presents.
But when it co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mes to medicine，I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients.After all，the doctor patient relationship is based on trust，and therefore honesty is essential. Or so I thought.
I had just start ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed working in geriatrics (老年病科)．Mr.McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen.I took a medical history from his daughter who'd accompanied him in the ambulance.She'd been his main carer for years.I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history.“Has he lost any weight recently？” I asked，“Well，it's funny you should mention that，but yes，” she said slowly.There was silence for a few moments.“Why What are you worried about？” she asked，I hesitated.She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth.“Well，we need to prove it's not cancer.” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
Half an hour later，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nurse called me: “Mr.McMahon's daughter broke down—she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank.By the time I arrived at the ward，my consultant was already there，explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer.I stood silently at the end of the bed.My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr.McMahon，she turned to me.“Why on earth did you do that？” she asked in disbelief.I looked at her and bit my lip.“She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said，hanging_my_head.“And give her more to worry about？” replied my consultant.“You don't say the word ‘cancer’ until it's confirmed.Even if you suspect it，think very carefully before you tell people.”
As it turned out，it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wasn't cancer.But I did learn that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one they're sometimes selective in what they hear—and as a doctor it's important to be mindful of this.In being truthful，I'd made the situation worse.
原本在一位医生的心目中，诚实是第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )位的；而且在工作中也是奉行诚实本分的处世原则。可是因为一次说了不够确切的实话，却让一位病人受到了打击，这件事让这位医生得出了一个结论：诚实有时候也会出错。
1．The purpose of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the first two paragraphs is to show that the author ________.
A．misunderstood the doctor patient relationship
B．was anxious to receive Christmas gifts
C．regarded honesty as the best policy
D．had an unhealthy eating habit
答案：C。作者意图题。从两个段落的第一句话，字里行间“the best”“important”都透露出作者对于honesty的看法。
2．The author's consultant was angry with him because ________.
A．he told the daughter what he suspected
B．he delayed running the necessary tests
C．he failed to confirm the patient's disease
D．he forgot what the consultant had advised
答案：A。细节判断题。第四段的开头已经 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )表明因为我的一番话，以及本段落的最后一句话也可以读出正是因为我的不假思索，让病人受到了打击，故consultant对我不满与气愤，故选A。
3．The author hung ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his head (the underlined part in Para.4) because he was feeling ________.
A．guilty B．hurt C．disappointed D．helpless
答案：A。细节判断题。guilty意为：罪过感，羞愧，与划线部分“耷拉了脑袋”在语境上非常符合。
4．What lesson has the author learnt from his experience
A．Learning from parents is necessary.
B．Jumping to a conclusion is dangerous.
C．Telling the truth may not always be the best solution.
D．Selecting pleasant words may not be the perfect policy.
答案：C。理解判断题。文章的最后一句话，正表明了作者的体会与结论：有时候，诚实不受欢迎。故选C。

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。
We know the famous ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)？Shouldn't we know who they are
Joan McLean thinks ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she's developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who”invented“what”， however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the“why” and “how” questions. According to McLean，“When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.”
Her students ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean's statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention，”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.
So, just what is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the story behind the windshield wiper Well，Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City.The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights，so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield，she found herself wondering why there couldn't be a built in device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.
Today we ben ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )efit from countless inventions and innovations. It's hard to imagine driving without Garrett A．Morgan's traffic light. It's equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J．Blodgett's innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses
大发明家与重要的发明固然令人振奋，但生活中也离不开小发明，本篇文章鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机。
9．By mentioning “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )traffic light”and “windshield wiper”，the author indicates that countless inventions are________.
A. beneficial，because their inventors are famous
B. beneficial，though their inventors are less famous
C. not useful, because their inventors are less famous
D. not useful, though their inventors are famous
答案：B。细节理解题。由文章最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一段，特别是第一句“Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations.”可知信号灯和雨刮器等这些小的发明使我们受益。第一段最后一句“Shouldn't we know who they are？”意思是“难道我们不该知道他们(发明者)是谁吗？”可知发明者不怎么出名。
10．Professor Joan McLean's course aims to________.
A. add colour and variety to students' campus life
B. inform students of the windshield wiper's invention
C. carry out the requirements by Mountain University
D. prepare students to try their own inventions
答案：D。细节理解题。由第二段内容 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，特别是最后一句“...‘When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a try.’”可知D项最佳。
11．Tommy Lee's invention of the unbreakable umbrella was______.
A. not eventually accepted by the umbrella producer
B. inspired by the story behind the windshield wiper
C. due to his dream of being caught in a rainstorm
D. not related to Professor Joan McLean's lectures
答案：B。细节理解题。由第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )三段中Tommy Lee的话“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper's invention...I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive.”可知他的发明是因为受到雨刮器的发明故事的启发。
12．Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following can best serve as the title of this passage
A. How to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to Producers
B. How to Design a Built in Device for Cleaning the Window
C. Shouldn't We Know Who Invented the Windshield Wiper
D. Shouldn't We Develop Invention Courses in Universities
答案：C。主旨大意题。全文讲述一些重要的发明，虽不为人知，却非常有益，借以鼓励年轻人要善于把握发明的契机。其他选项都比较片面。黑龙江绥化市2016高考英语阅读理解练习题（二）及答案

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Stage fright ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or performance anxiety is the anxiety, or fear which may occur in an individual by the requirement to perform in front of an audience. It is most commonly seen in school situations, like stand-up projects and class speeches. It has numerous forms: heart beating fast, trembling hands and legs, sweaty hands, dry mouth etc.
In fact, most o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f the fear occurs before you step on stage. Once you’re up there, it usually goes away. Thus, it is a phenomenon that you must learn to control. Try to think of stage fright in a positive way. It heightens your energy, adds color to your cheeks. With these good side effects you will actually look healthier and more physically attractive.
Many of the top per ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )formers in the world get stage fright so you are in good company. Stage fright may come and go or decrease, but it usually does not disappear permanently. You must concentrate on getting the feeling out and present what you have prepared calmly.
Remember “No ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )body” ever died from stage fright. But, according to surveys, many people would rather die than give a speech. If that applies to you, and you are an unlucky guy who is with stage fright the whole time, try out some of the strategies(策略) as follows to help get yourself under control. Realize that you may never overcome stage fright, but you can learn to control it, and use it to your advantage.
Strategies are as follows when the program begins:
1) If legs are trembling, lean on table or shift legs or move.
2) Don’t hold notes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). The audience can see them shake. Use three-by-five cards instead.
3) Use eye contact. Look at the friendliest faces in the audience.
Remember nervousness ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )doesn’t show one-tenth as much as it feels. Before each presentation, make a short list of the items you think will make you feel better. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different combinations. You never know which ones will work best until you try. Use these steps to control stage fright so it doesn’t control you. Once you are used to stage fright, you will find you on the road to a great speech-maker.

Photos that you migh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t have found down the back of your sofa are now big business!
In 2005, the Amer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ican artist Richard Prince’s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000.
Prince is cert ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called “found photographs”—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger’s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes “basically everything is worth looking at”, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on.
Like Schmi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for some else: “Why’s your car HERE at HER place ” The note became the starting point for Rothbard’s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer.
The whole fou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art And if so, whose art Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone Or how did Prince create this photograph It’s anyone’s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves Will they mean anything to anyone after we’ve gone
64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________.
A. remind readers of found photographs
B. advise reader to start a new kind of business
C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa
D. show readers the value of found photographs
65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _________.
A. is fond of collecting family life photographs
B. found a complaining not under his car wiper
C. is working for several self-published magazines
D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs
66. The underlined word “them” in Para 4 refers to __________.
A. the readers B. the editors
C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines
67. By asking a series ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________.
A. memory of the past is very important to people
B. found photographs allow people to think freely
C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling
D. the real value of found photographs is questionable
68. The author’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________.

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。
When he thou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ght of the past，my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school.They were brown and faded，and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather.Besides，he wore a cap—and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured.When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.
On one such ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )occasion my younger sister，aged six，burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy.“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a heard.”We were，of course，all convinced that grandfathers should have beards，preferably white and bushy，like our own grandfather's.
“I was a good scholar， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )”Grandfather would say，wagging his beard over the photographs.“I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood，and again when I came home from school.”
“But Saturdays What did you do on Saturdays？”
“Saturdays，if it wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s fine，I'd be out all day in the fields with the men，”replied Grandfather. “And if it was wet，I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying.”
We all tried hard to i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )magine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never，obviously，having a moment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.
1．In the firs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t paragraph of this passage，what the author really tells us is that________.
A. his grandf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ather used to wear short trousers，socks and a cap as well
B．it was difficult to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tell which of the boys in the photographs was Grandfather
C．he didn't believe G ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )randfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at school
D．it was fun to watch ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward
答案：B 细节判断题，可用直接就题找题法来 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )解。第一段最后一句：When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.此句表明答案为B。
2．The author's sister burst into tears because________.
A. she did not get ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a chance to pick out Grandfather in the photographs
B．she was told whi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch was the right boy before she herself could pick him out
C．other child ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ren did not agree with her that Grandfather should have had a beard
D．she found Grandfather in the photographs did not have a beard
答案：D 细节判断题，可用直接就题找题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )法来解。由短文第二段第二句：“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a beard.”可以推断，小女孩接受不了爷爷没有胡子的事实。
3．When Grandfather sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id，“I should have been top of the class...”，be meant________.
A. if he had had more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time for studying，he would have been the best in his class
B．he should have sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ent more time studying rather than playing ball games
C．his school days should not have been so hard and miserable
D．he could have n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever been the best student even if he had studied still harder
答案：A 推理判断题，可用逻辑推断法来解。该句为虚拟语气，表明如果他不需要每天起早干活，他的成绩一定会是班上最好的。
4．In the last paragr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aph the author said，“We all tried hard to imagine...”because________.
A. the figures of the boys in the photographs were small and blurred
B．the children had never experienced life like that of Grandfather
C．the photographs Grandfather showed them were brown and faded
D．Grandfather failed to tell them about his childhood in detail
答案：B 推理判断题，可用逻辑推断法来解。认真分析思考可以发现，作者身处现在较优越的生活环境中真难以想象爷爷当初会那么辛苦。
由 (2013江西,C)改编
Many people t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hink that listening is a passive business.It is just the opposite.Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work.It is because they do not realize this,or because they are not willing to do the work,that most people do not listen well.
Listening well ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )also requires total concentration upon someone else.An essential part of listening well is the rule known as bracketing.Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else’s world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes.Moreover,since listening well involves bracketing,it also involves a temporary acceptance of the other person.Sensing this acceptance,the speaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way.The energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.
Most of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time we lack this energy.Even though we may feel in our business dealings or social relationships that we are listening well,what we are usually doing is listening selectively.Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder,as we listen,how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversation over as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us.Many of us are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don’t want to hear.
It wasn’t until toward ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的).In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the first few months of the psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained.There are several reasons for this phenomenon,but chief among them,I believe,was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to,often for the first time in years,and for some,perhaps for the first time ever.
1.The phrase “st ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )epping into his or her shoes” in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A.preparing a topic list first
B.focusing on one’s own mind
C.directing the talk to the desired results
D.experiencing the speaker’s inside world
2.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ( )
A.How to listen well. B.What to listen to.
C.Benefits of listening. D.Problems in listening.
3.According to the author,in communication people tend to .
A.listen actively B.listen purposefully
C.set aside their prejudices D.open up their inner mind
4.According to the author,the patients improved mainly because .
A.they were taken good care of
B.they knew they were truly listened to
C.they had partners to talk to
D.they knew the roots of problems
5.What type of writing is the article likely to be ( )
A.Science fiction. B.A news report.
C.A medical report. D.Popular science.

Tim Richter and hi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York—he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us，” Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton' s foundation (基金会) that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee.“I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire，” Tim recalls. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder.”
Five years lat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imagination library.com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oks was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish，” says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats's The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the coup ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12,200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of .”
The Richters spend a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )bout $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die，” says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left.”
本文讲述了Tim心脏手术后， ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )对人生的目标有严肃认真的思考，术后，参加Dolly Parton的基金会，并与妻子Linda成立了Richter家庭基金会，每月花400美元给学龄前儿童买书。
4．What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life
A．His health problem. B．His love for teaching.
C．The influence of his wife. D．The news from the Web.
答案：A。细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据短文第一段第二句话“In April...leads to some serious thinking about life's purpose”可知A项正确。
5．What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library
A．Give out brochures. B．Do something similar.
C．Write books for children. D．Retire from being a teacher.
答案：B。细节理解题。根 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )据短文第二段第二句话“I thought，maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire”可知B项正确。
6．According to the text, Dolly Parton is ________.
A. a well known surgeon B. a mother of a four year old
C. a singer born in Tennessee D. a computer programmer
答案：C。细节理解题。根据短文第二段第一句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )话“...a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation that mailed a book to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of sevier，Tenneasea”中的singer可知C项正确。
7．Why did the Richters go to Dollywood
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
答案：D。细节理解题。根据短文倒数第三段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )一、二句话可知，书的质量是Richter夫妇关心的问题。因此他们没有在网上报名，而是亲自去多莉坞看看。因此可知D项正确。
8．What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.
答案：D。推理判断题。Tim最后 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )说：有些人坐着等死，而另一些人在剩余的时间内尽可能的忙碌。由上文可知，Richter夫妇对自己所做的事情很满意，并且其他人也非常感激，由此可推出D项正确。

Blue planets Space is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not black，but light green，a team of astronomers announced on January 10.They studied the light sent out by 200 000 galaxies.What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)．
The discovery ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a“blue period”when young blue stars filled space.Now the universe is in a“green period”．They believe it will finally enter a“red period”when the older，redder stars appear.
“The reason f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or the colour changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing，”said Ivan Baldry，an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe.
Research presented ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by NASA scientists shows that the highest point of star forming may have occurred earlier than previously(以前)believed.It was probably very soon after the“Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)”that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.
There is no way any ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )human could actually see the green colour.“The only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving，”Baldry said.Baldry and his co worker，Karl Glazebrook，have both joked about possible marketing(营销)opportunities for the new colour.
Perhaps colour of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the universe T shirts or coffee cups could become popular.But Baldry allowed，“I don't know if you can patent(专利)a colour，that's not our business.We haven't actually been to a paint shop yet to see if they have a name for this.”
1．The astronomers discovered the colour of the universe________.
A．when they were researching on the age of the universe
B．when they attem ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pted to test theories about the forming of stars and galaxies
C．to prove that the universe is continuously changing
D．and showed t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat the stars and galaxies may have formed earlier than previously believed
答案：B 第二段第一句“The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.”说明了discovery是在理论检测过程当中作出的。
2．According to the astronomers，________.
A．the universe is changing its colour all the time
B．all the heavenly bodies are green at present
C．the universe has changed its colour several times
D．the universe will finally turn red
答案：D 第二段最后一句“They ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )believe it will finally enter a‘red period' when the older，redder stars appear.”为该选项提供了依据。从第二段可看出宇宙的颜色由蓝到绿，最终将变而还会变红，所以C选项中的已经变了几次不符合事实。而all the heavenly bodies远远大于文中的stars这一范围。A选项中的all the time表示的频率过高。
3．We can infer tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t the most popular colour of T shirts would be________.
A．red B．blue
C．green D．light green
答案：D 综合第一段第三句“Wha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)”和最后一段第一句“Perhaps colour of the universe T shirts or coffee cups could become popular.”可看出答案。
4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A．No human can see the real colour of the universe.
B．The theory of“Big Bang”is widely received by scientists.
C．The rate of star ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s forming is causing the change of the universe's colour.
D．Humans can receive light from at least 200,000 galaxies.
答案：A D选项来自于第一段第二句；C选项来自第三段第一句；B选项来自第四段最后一句。A选项与第六段有很大的差异。

You may think t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.
First, you must ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) ask yourself，“Where is the wind coming from Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side？” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.
Let's start with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the wind blowing from behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°angle(角度)to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.
If the wind is blowi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45°angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap(摆动)．It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.
Sailing into the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.
45. What should you consider first while sailing
A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels.
C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.
46．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to
A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle.
47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind
A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.
C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.
48．Where can you probably find the text
A．In a popular magazine. B．In a tourist guidebook.
C．In a physics textbook. D．In an official report.
【要点综述】本文主要介绍了航行中关于风向的问题。首先要考虑风向，然后再根据风是从船的后面，侧面还是前面来确定航行的方法。
45. C 细节理解题。根据第一段的最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一句话 “And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.”和第二段的内容，可知首先要考虑风向的问题。A项是不需要考虑的，B项和D项没有提及。
46. C 代词指代题。结合第四段中“I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat.”中的the sail可知后面的it指的是“风帆”。而不是“船”，“风”或“角度”。
47. D 细节理解题。从最 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )后一段的“You may want to go in that direction.…This is called tacking.”可知是逆风航行的时候要不断地改变方向，因此选D。
48. A 推理判断题。本文主要涉及的是大众的航行运动的知识，而不是有关旅游和物理方面的知识，也不是一个官方的报告，因此选A。

Astronauts o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n shorter shuttle missions(使命)often work very long days. Tasks are scheduled so tightly that break times are often used to finish the day's work. This type of schedule is far too demanding for long missions on the International Space Station(ISS)．ISS crewmembers usually live in space for at least a quarter of a year. They work five days on and two days off to mimic the normal way they do things on Earth as much as possible. Weekends give the crew valuable time to rest and do a few hours of housework. They can communicate with family and friends by email, Internet phone and through private video conferences.
While astronauts can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not go to a baseball game or a movie in orbit, there are many familiar activities that they can still enjoy. Before a mission, the family and friends of each ISS crewmember put together a collection of family photos, messages, videos and reading material for the astronauts to look at when they will be floating 370 kilometers above the Earth. During their mission, the crew also receives care packages with CDs, books, magazines, photos and letters. And as from early 2010, the Internet became available on the ISS, giving astronauts the chance to do some “web surfing(冲浪)” in their personal time. Besides relaxing with these more common entertainments, astronauts can simply enjoy the experience of living in space.
Many astronauts say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that one of the most relaxing things to do in space is to look out the window and stare at the universe and the Earth. Both the shuttle and the ISS circle the planet several times each day, and every moment offers a new view of the Earth's vast land mass and oceans.
60．What does the word “mimic” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Find. B．Copy. C．Change. D．Lose.
61．Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing best describes the families of the astronauts on the ISS
A．They are caring and thoughtful.
B．They are worried and upset.
C．They are impatient and annoyed.
D．They are excited and curious.
62．In the final paragraph, the author shows that astronauts ________.
A．get more pleasure in space than on the Earth
B．find living in space a bit boring and tiring
C．regard space life as common
D．love to see the Earth from space
63．The passage mainly discusses how astronauts ________.
A．work for longer missions in space
B．connect with people on the Earth
C．observe the Earth from space
D．spend their free time in space

60. B 词义猜测题。联 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )系They work five days on and two days off我们知道，他们的生活与地球上是一样的，因此答案为B。
61. A 推理判断题。从第二段我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们知道，在飞行前，这些航天员的家人以及朋友为他们准备了照片、书籍等供他们消遣的东西，因此他们是很体贴和想法周全的。D有一定干扰性，文章没有讲述家人或者朋友对于这些宇航员工作的兴奋与好奇，因此可以排除。

I have been consis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby's point of view.
Mothers, doctors and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) nurses alike have no idea of where a baby's blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ot just unkind but also dangerous to say a four hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn't follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby in the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have copper bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ (智商) scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample (样本) of 10,419 children born in the early 1990s, taking account of parental education, family income, a child's sex and age, the mother's health and feeding style. These results don't surprise me. Feeding according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeding practices.
31. According to Par ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )agraph 2, one reason why a baby cries is that it feels ________.
A．sick B．upset C．sleepy D．hungry
32. What does the author think about Dr King
A．He is strict. B．He is unkind.
C．He has the wrong idea. D．He sets a timetable for mothers.
33. The word cop ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )per bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to________.

Shay asked, “Do you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )think they’ll let me play ” Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team, but the father also understood that if his son, mentally and physically disabled, were allowed to play, it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
Shay’s father approa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ched one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play, not expecting much. The boy looked around and said, “We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.
Shay struggled ove ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart. The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
In the bottom of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eighth inning, Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the top of the final inning, Shay put on a glove and played in the field. Even though no hits came his way, he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field. In the bottom of the final inning, Shay’s team scored again. Now, Shay was scheduled to be next at bat. Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game
Surprisingly, Shay wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s given the bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible. The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay. As the pitch came in, Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
The pitcher could ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game .Instead, the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of the first baseman, beyond the reach of all teammates, The audience and the players from both teams started screaming, “Shay, run to first!” Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base, wide-eyed and shocked.
Everyone should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), “Run to second!” Catching his breath, Shay awkwardly ran towards second. By the time Shay rounded towards second base, the smallest guy on their team, who had a chance to be the hero for his team for the first time, could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
All were screamin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g，“Shay，Shay，Shay，all the way Shay.” Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted, “Shay, run to third.” As Shay rounded third, all were on their feet, crying, “Shay, run home！”Shay ran to home, stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who t won the game for his team.
That day, the boys ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world. Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter, having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!
( ) 1. Not expecting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )much, Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play, mainly because the father _________.
A. noticed some of the boys on the field were heisting
B. guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decision
C. learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well
D. understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted
( ) 2. In the bo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ttom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys _________.
A. believed they were sure to win the game
B. would like to help Shay enjoy the game
C. found Shay was so eager to be a winner
D. fell forced to give Shay another chance
( ) 3. The sma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )llest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head, probably because that boy ________.
A. was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purpose
B. looked forward to winning the game for his team
C. failed to throw the ball to the second baseman
D. saw that Shay already reached second base
( ) 4. Which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team
A. The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
B. The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
C. The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
D. One of the opposing players ran to help him.
( ) 5. What to you think is the theme of the story
A. True human nature c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ould be realized in the way we treat each other.
B. Everyone has his o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wn strength even if mentally or physically disabled.
C. Everyone can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
D. The results of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )game should not be the only concern of the players.
本篇文章是一篇关于爱的教育的故事。一位父 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )亲鼓励帮助自己心智和身体残疾的儿子，和正常人一样参与棒球运动，并且得到同伴的认可。文章富有教育意义。
1. 细节题。 根据题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )干关键词定位到文章第一段，but处出题，最后一句”it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence”得出答案D为正确选项。
2.细节题。答案在原文第五段surpri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )singly处，显示了一种转折。在上一段讲了Shay的团队赢分了，在上文even though点出尽管他没有一个球是他进的，但他仍然感到很喜悦。在第五段文章说他被伙伴们同意进入了最后一局。可见答案B是正确的，所有人都希望能够帮助他成功。
3. 细节题。根据题干将关键词 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )定位到第七段”the smallest guy on their team”，这是个长难句，who引导了一个非限制性定语从句，他本可以成为比赛最后的hero,可but 点出了转折，他明白pitcher的意图并且帮助了Shay的成功。可见答案A正确。
4.推断题。题干问下面哪一项是和S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hay的成功无关的。文章第八段最后说众人喊道: “Shay, run home”,当他run home之后，我们看到结果是他成功了，他成为了Hero，可见没有任何人在这个时候阻止了他。可见C选项是与他的成功无关的，为正确选项。
5. 主旨大意题。文章处处渗透了球队人与人之间的相互尊重，因此A选项包容性最大， B,C,D都是很片面的。

The Coalition f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )or the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States.It is a network of offices，some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population，and some of which fight for the passing of laws that would give every American the right to a place to call home.According to the Coalition's studies，of over two hundred million people living in the United States，up to three million are homeless—and the number is still growing.Since the late 1970s，fast rising house prices，large cuts in government supported housing programs，and economic recession(经济衰退) have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs.Sadly，this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes.According to another research，families with children appear to be the fastest growing part of the homeless population，making up 39% of it.The old idea of a homeless person，that of the single man who gets drunk all the time，is no longer true.A much larger part of the population now finds itself homeless.Even worse，once a person becomes homeless，he often finds it impossible to find a job，since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.

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。
Habits are a funny thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng. We reach for them mindlessly，setting our brains on auto pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures，”William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever changing 21st century，even the word“habit”carries a negative meaning.
So it seems c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ontradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新)．But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits ，we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new，innovative tracks.
Rather than dismiss ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact，the more new things we try, the more creative we become.
But don't bot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her trying to kill off old habits；once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain，they're there to stay. Instead，the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.
“The first thing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) needed for innovation is attraction to wonder，” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’ ，just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’. ”She adds, however，that“to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”
“All of us work thro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ugh problems in ways of which we're unaware，” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence，however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.
The current emph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )asis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system—that anyone can do anything, ” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will...and Ms. Markova's business partner. “That's a lie that we have preserved，and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it creates excellence. ”This is where developing new habits comes in.
本文论述了创新思维与有意识培养新习惯之间的关系。
17．Brain researchers have discovered that ________.
A. the forming of new habits can be guided
B. the development of habits can be predicted
C. the regulation of old habits can be transformed
D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously
答案：A。事实细节题。由第三段首句“Ra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ther than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits.”可知A项正确。
18．The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) word “ruts” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. zones B. connections
C. situations D. tracks
答案：D。词义猜测题。由画线词所在 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的第四段中的信息词pathway(路，径)和road(路，道路)可推测出D项正确。track路，路径，轨迹。
19．Which of the follow ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova's view
A. Decision makes no sense in choices.
B. Curiosity makes creative minds active.
C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.
D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.
答案：B。推理判断题。由第五段首句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和尾句尤其是“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder(创新的第一要素是好奇)”可推断出B项正确。
20．The purpose of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the author writing this article is to persuade us ________.
A. to give up our traditional habits deliberately
B. to create and develop new habits consciously
C. to resist the application of standardized testing
D. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits
答案：B。主旨大意题。总览文章可知，作者认为创新和新习惯的养成在很多方面是相通的，从而试图说服我们去有意识地创新和培养新习惯。
