“So many of our ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain.” Christopher Reeve
Recently, for the first time in 5 years I simply went out back, put my cane down, and started walking. I made it 42 yards.
Today I walked 5 miles.
My medical team had said this would be impossible. My brain could no longer send the signals for walking because those nerves in it had been destroyed. Though certainly unintentional, my doctors did take something very important away from me: hope.
A while back, a psychologist pal of mine urged me to try to help myself. I was angry. I said, “They’re four of Boston’s leading neurologists. They all said I’d never get any better.”
“They could have all been wrong.”
“They said there’s nothing I can do! No rehabilitation(复原). No physical therapy(治疗). I’m not putting any effort into trying to walk and then be miserable when I fail.”
“Trying is never failure.”
What made me finally try The answer is simpler than I’d have ever imagined. That day I tried walking on my own, I had simply said to myself, “Why not ”
When I walk I have a Frankenstein-style gait. I get embarrassed so I explain. I met a gal who said, “Stop excusing yourself. Walk proud!” She’s just one of the many who’ve taught me that if I open my heart to acceptance, the world is filled with support teams.
One morning my husband, Bob, said there was a huge present for me in our driveway. He had researched “bicycles for disabled people.” It was a 300 pound cycle for two. The seats were side by side. He could pedal while I sat by him and enjoyed the outdoors again.
Um... did I mention it came assembled with a set of pedals for me too
Now, hundreds of miles later, after exhaustive hours of pedaling along beautiful bike trails, I only wish that we owned stock in Ben-Gay.
1. What’s the best title of this passage
A. Having a tour
B. Realizing an Impossible dream
C. Walking with a cane
D. Suffering from disability
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. My doctor concluded that I can walk again.
B. My brain could no longer send signals.
C. They're four famous doctors in my medical team.
D. My medical team’s conclusion took my hope away.
3. The author didn’t want to try walking because_______.

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者当被医生诊断不能走路后所作出的骑车旅行的活动，从而实现了看起来不能实现的事情。
1.B 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become certain可判断。

(2015·石家庄市二模)
Upon entering col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lege, Yang Yi was uncertain about a lot of things. However, the 19 year old international economics and trade student was certain about one thing: She wanted to participate in animal welfare efforts.
“I'm always ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a nature and animal lover.” she said. She joined the environmental protection association at her school. Now being president of a group of 25, she leads its efforts to help stray(流浪) cats and dogs by raising money to buy them food and collecting old clothes to make them homes.
However, sometime ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the association raises doubts. Some students have questioned whether helping stray animals breaks the laws of nature. “We tried to resolve the controversy，” Yang said. “For wild animals, the best way to protect them is to preserve their environment and their natural habitat, and to let them live their own way. However, for animals that depend heavily on humans, such as dogs and cats, the proper way to treat them is to respect them and take care of them.” Besides, if not accommodated properly, stray animals can bring threats to public health, as they are the main cause of rabies(狂犬病) in cities. “Now, many young people in China have agreed upon the need to strike a balance between humans and nature. The only problem is how，” said Yang. Yang and her fellow volunteers are cautious about what they do to help. For instance, sometimes people feed stray cats human food such as chocolate. But Yang and her friends point that such food can be dangerous to stray cats.
Yang also cooper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ates with Non Governmental Organizations to spread animal protection knowledge. One of their recent exhibits was about animals in the entertainment industry, “We are still figuring out the best way to protect animals, but simple deeds such as saying no to animal performances can prevent wildlife from being captured and tamed. Step by step, we'll eventually reach our goal，” she said.

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。
As is known, it ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is a respectful job to be a teacher serving students heart and soul. And most people also compare a teacher to a gardener who takes great care of various plants. Ever since my high school days, my heart has been set on becoming a teacher. I am now studying at a teacher’s college, and I am making great efforts to study, because there are so many things to learn about education. But I thoroughly enjoy my studies, and every day I am amazed at the great influence education has on the human soul.
I think it i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s only natural that I have always aspired to become a teacher because my father and his father were also teachers. My father is now retired, following a brilliant career, and it has always been his dream to have me, his only son, follow in his footsteps. Although it sounds like my father’s dream that I will become a teacher, it is also my dream and I am quite willing to realize the dream. I still have one more year to go at university, and after I graduate, I will go to the western part of China to become a teacher at a village school.
I understand a teacher ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )’s job will not make me a millionaire, but it is not the prospect of making a lot of money that has propelled my ambition to become a teacher. Rather, it is my sincere desire to assume a responsible role in society, and make as many people well—educated as possible through my hard endeavors. Education plays an essential and important role in our society. If everyone can receive a good education, it will not only do good to our country but also benefit individuals’ lives.
Ten years from n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow, therefore, I hope to be established as an excellent teacher with hundreds of thousands of students who have benefited from me and carry on the family tradition with efficiency and honour.
25. What’s the author now
A. A doctor. B. An actor. C. A student. D. A researcher.
26. Which is not the reason why the author wants to be a teacher
A. To be a teac ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )her is his own dream. B. His father hopes that he can become a teacher.
C. He would like to be a responsible man.
D. His teacher encourages him to be an excellent teacher.
27. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “aspired”
A. Inspired. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. Desired. C. Required. D. Complained.
28. What’s the best title of the passage
A. How can I be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )an excellent teacher B. Where do I see myself ten years from now
C. Why do I fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )low in my father’s footsteps D. How can I make my dream come true

The hotel sits on the Salar de Uyuni, a prehistoric dried—up lake that’s the world’s biggest salt flat. Builders use the salt from the 4,633一square—mile flat to make the bricks, and glue them together with a paste of wet salt that hardens when it dries.

In the fall of 19 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )85. I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng woman, graduated from college an the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can ima ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 81. Our home was a complete zoo---a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree！
I am not special, just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember；little steps add up to big dreams.

【2016高考训练】阅读理解—推理判断题。
The word proactivity i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s fairly common in management literature, but you won｀t find it in the dictionary. It means that as a human being you take responsibility for your own life.
Look at the word resp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )onsibility: ability to choose your response, response-ability. Effective people are proactive because they take responsibility. Their behavior is a product of their own decisions, based on values, rather than being a product of their own conditions, based on feelings. For instance, you are planning a picnic with your family. You｀re excited. You have all the preparations, You've decided where to go, and then it becomes stormy, killing your plan. Proactive people carry weather within them. They realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games, and make the best of that situation. The opposite of being proactive is to be reactive. Reactive people would say, “What's the use ””We can't do anything.” “Oh this is so upsetting after all of our preparations and arrangements.” They try to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled.
Being proacti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve is really just being true to your human nature. Your basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. That's true, despite widely accepted theories of determinism used to explain human nature. Determinism says that you don't really choose anything and that what you call choices are nothing more than automatic responses to outside conditions.
The language of reacti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve people is lie:”I can't .” “Don't have time.”” I have to .” I must.” The whole spirit of that language is the transfer of responsibility. They think things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. Psychologically, people who believe they are determined will produce the evidence to support the belief, and they increasingly feel victimized and out of control. They're not in charge of their life at all.
On the contrary, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a proactive person exercises free will, the freedom to choose the response that best applies to his values. In that way, he gains control over the circumstances, rather than being controlled by them.
According to the pa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ssage, a proactive person's behavior can result from .
The environment B. an inner belief
C. the genetic makeup D. a temporary feeling
2. When a picnic plan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is threatened by a sudden storm, reactive people will probably .
A. have the picnic as planned
B. make the best of the picnic
C. complain and give up the picnic
D. find somewhere else for the picnic
3. What does” carry ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) weather within them” in the second paragraph probably mean
A. Manage to improve the weather.
B. Give in to the weather passively.
C. Stress the influence of the weather.
D. Find a solution to the weather problems.
4. It can be co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncluded from the passage that determinists(宿命论者) .
A. accept things passively
B. are in charge of themselves
C. are similar to proactive people
D. respond to outside conditions actively
语篇解读 本文主要介绍了积 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )极的人和消极的的之间的区别，例如在遇到天气不好野餐计划搁浅的时候，积极的人会想办法进行野餐，而消极的人却由周围的环境左右其决定。
B 细节理解题。根据第三段Being pr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oactive is really just being true to your human nature. You basic nature is to act, and not to be acted upon. 可知，积极主动是按照天性来做最真正的自己。人的本性是行动，而不是任人摆布。可知一个积极的人，他的行动源于他的内心和本性。故选B。
C 细节理解题。根据第二段They tr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y to persuade the people around them and usually the picnic will be cancelled. 可知，消极的人会试图说服他们周围的人并最后取消野餐。
D 推理判断题。根据下文The ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y realize what their purpose really was, and they creatively have a picnic elsewhere even if it's in their own basement with some special games 可知，当环境不得于计划的时候，积极的人会创造性的想出解决方法，达到目的。
A 推理判断题。 根据第四段They th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ink things are determined by their environment, or by their conditions, or by their conditioning or their genetic makeup. 可知，消极的人认为事情是由环境决定的。又根据第二段野餐的例子可知，消极的人在面对计划不得不改变时，他们会抱怨但接受现实，而不会想办法去创造机会实现目标。

WASHINGTON—La ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for foreign teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.
It is not easy, even desperate.
“We have many chi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ldren left to place—40 out of 75,” said Straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called LEC.
When foreign ex ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )change programmes started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed at home. But now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes.
School systems in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) many parts of the U.S., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(有异国情调的).
In search for host fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ilies, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired.
“We are open ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to many different types of families,” said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide.
For elderly people, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) exchange students “keep us young—they really do”, said Jen Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Post from Denmark.
25. Viekie Weiner is the person who ____.
A. works for a programme called LEC
B. works for a programme called ASSE
C.is 25 years old
D. hosts foreign students.
26. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to the text, why was it easier for Laura Straub to find American families for foreign students
A．American school systems were better than now.
B．The government was happy because it could gain tax.
C．Foreign students paid hosting families a lot of money.
D．More mothers didn’t work outside and could look after children.
27. To deal with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the problem in recent years, exchange programmes have to ______.
A．extend the range of host families
B．limit the number of the exchange students
C．borrow much money to pay for the costs
D．make hosting foreign students more exotic
28. Which of the following is the best title of this passage
A. Exchange Students Keep Old People Young.
B. Idea of Hosting Students is Different.
C. Foreign-exchange Program Is Going on.
D U.S. Struggle to Find host Families.

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。
Last year, A Bite of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )China, made by CCTVs Documentary Channel, sparked discussion not only on Chinese food ,but also on locally made documentary programs.
When you think o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f documentaries, you may think of them as long, boring programs. But documentaries can be wonderful and bring stories from the real world into our homes. With fascinating footage（影片片段） and stories, documentaries encourage us to think about interesting issues we wouldn’t necessarily know about.
So, what makes a goo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d documentary, and what should we pay attention to when we watch one Here, we offer a few easy strategies to help you get the most out of watching documentaries.

Listen to what th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e people in the documentary are saying and ask yourself the following questions: If you were debating with someone or introducing a new concept, would you say the things the people in the documentary are saying Do the arguments make sense
Check the sources
If you’re sitting at t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he computer and can’t think of anything to do, why not look up the points the documentary made and see if they are accurate You could even read more about what is presented in the documentary.
Who are the creators
The creators or f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )inancial backers of a film will usually be involved with how the subject matter is presented. For instance, as the documentary 2016: Obama’s America was directed in large part by a conservative writer, it’s not surprising that it’s critical of President Obama from the beginning.
29. Which of the f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ollowing is the most proper to describe documentaries

In the more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and more competitive service industry, it is no longer enough to promise customer satisfaction. Today, customer “delight” is what companies are trying to achieve in or order to keep and increase market share.
It is accepted in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e marketing industry, and confirmed by a number of researches, that customers receiving good service will promote business by telling up to 12 other people: those treated badly will tell their tales of woe to up to 20 people, 80 percent of people who feel their complaints are handled fairly will stay loyal
New lunges fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r customer care have come when people can obtain goods and services through telephone call centers and the Internet. For example , many companies now have to invest(投资)a lot of money in information technology and staff training in order to cope with the “phone rage”—caused by delays in answering calls ,being cut off in mid-conversation or left waiting for long periods.
“Many people d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o not like talking to machines,” says Dr . Storey Senior Lecturer in Marketing at City University Business School. “Banks, for example, encourage staff at call centers to use customer data to establish instant and good relationship with them .The aim is to make the customer feel they know you and that you can trust— the sort of comfortable feelings people have during face-to-face chats with their local branch manager.”
Recommended ways of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )creating customer delight include: under-promising and over-delivering (saying that a repair will be calmed out within five hours ,but getting it done within two );replacing a faulty product immediately : throwing in a gift voucher(购物礼卷)as an unexpected “thank you” to rental customers ;and always returning calls ,even when they are complaints.
Aiming for customer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) delight is all very well , but if services do not reach the high level promised , disappointment or worse will be the result . This can be eased by offering an apology and an explanation of why the service did not meet usual standards with empathy (for example,” I know how you must feel”), and possible solutions (replacement , compensation or whatever fames suggests best meets the case).
Airlines face s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome of the toughest challenges over customer care. Fierce competition has convinced them that delighting passengers is an important marketing tool, while there is great potential for customer anger over delays caused by weather, unclaimed luggage and technical problems.
For Britis ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h Airways staff, a winning telephone style is considered vital in handling the large volume of calls about bookings and flight times. They are trained to answer quickly, with their name, job title and a “we are here to help” attitude. The company has invested heavily in information technology to make sure that information is available instantly on screen.
British Airway ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s also says its customer care policies are applied within the company and staff are taught to regard each other as customers requiring the highest standards of service.
Customer care is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )obviously here to stay and it would be a foolish company that used slogans such as "we do as we please”. On the other hand, the more customers are promised, the greater the risk of disappointment.
( ) 1. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that .
A. complaining customers are hard to satisfy
B. unsatisfied customers receive better service
C. Satisfied customers catch more attention
D. well-treated customers promote business
( ) 2. The wr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iter mentions “phone rage”(Paragraph 3) to show that .
A. customers often use phones to express their anger
B. people still prefer to buy goods online
C. customer care becomes more attention
D. customers rely on their phones to obtain services
( ) 3. What does the writer recommend to create delight
A. Calling customers regularly B. Giving a “thank you” note.
C. Delivering a quicker service D. Promising more gifts.
( ) 4. If a manager s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hould show his empathy (Paragraph6), what would he probably say
A. “I know how u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pset you must be.” B. “I appreciate your understanding.”
C. “I’m sorry for the delay.” D. “I know it’s our fault.”
( ) 5. Customer delight is important for airlines because .
A. their telephone style remains unchanged
B. they are more likely to meet with complaints
C. the services cost them a lot of money
D. the policies can be applied to their staff
( ) 6. Which of the following is conveyed in this article
A. Face-to-face service creates comfortable feelings among customers.
B. Companies that promise more will naturally attract more customers.
C. A company should promise less but do more in a competitive market.
D. Customer delight is more important for airlines than for banks.

There never was s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uch a day for flying kited! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher .We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down it the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again.
Even our fathers ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly.

I felt a little embarrassed .Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep “the things that cannot be and yet they are.”
The years we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to “go park ,see duck.”

Use public transp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ort alternatives where available.The easiest way to avoid traffic jams is to take buses or the underground instead of driving your own car.Not only will you avoid traffic jams but you will most likely be saving money as the cost of motoring rises.

I didn’t realize ho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on(欺负)me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs. Some of the kids would point and say, “Look at that kid. Look at her.”
As time went on ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. My friends became increasingly protective. They’d help me up the bus steps. If people were cruel, they would take them aside and correct them.
What I lacked in he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ight, I made up for in personality—my ability to laugh, even at myself. For example, one time I was reaching into the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes. I fell all the way in and yell for Mother, who was sitting nearby reading the paper. Watching feet flying everywhere, she laughed quietly and said, “I should leave you there.”I laughed with her.
I’m 47 now, and the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tares have not decreased as I’ve grown older. People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse. They look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have—a great family, nice friends. . .”
1. What is the main idea of the second and third paragraphs
A. How the writer changed her disadvantage to advantage.
B. The writer’s friends and mother loved her deeply.
C. The writer had many friends helping her.
D. The writer had the ability to laugh.
2. By saying “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the stares have not decreased”in the last paragraph, the author suggests that______.
A. she is able to live a happy life like a normal person
B. she isn’t afraid of being noticed by others any more
C. some people still don’t treat her as a normal person
D. more and more people treat her with respect now
3. How is the author feeling now about her situation
A. Quite optimistic.
B. Very satisfied.
C. Deeply upset.
D. Rather anxious.
4. We can infer that the author believes that______.
A. society should help the disabled as much as possible
B. only your parents and friends can help you
C. what people say about you is none of your business
D. all people should be treated with respect

The other day at a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )supermarket, I saw a naughty child of about six crying loudly, falling to the floor and refusing to move. All the while the troubled mother was trying to persuade him to behave well but failed. A little smack(打)on his bottom would have done the job, I thought.
Teenagers also caus ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e discipline (纪律)problems. As a teacher I had a 16-year-old student who had fallen in love with a waiter at a fast-food restaurant. In fact, she had left home to stay with him. So we decided to put her in the school hostel. She refused. When she heard her mother begging her to stay in the hostel, she turned round and said, “Why don’t you stay in the hostel if you like it so much ”
My palms were itchin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g to slap her for being so rude but the poor mother continued to cajole her, hoping the gentle persuasion would work wonders. It did not. Later I heard that she had run away from home again.
The list goes on and o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n. Could it be that today’s parents are softer and believe that they must not rod (棍棒惩罚) their children for fear of the bad result Or do they actually believe that the children will get rid of the bad habits and behave well naturally as they grow older I beg to disagree. I believe it is the parents’ duty to discipline the children even at a young age.
My children who ar ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e now adults will prove the fact that I used the rod when I thought it necessary. Later when they went abroad, they related to their British university friends on how they were disciplined. Their friends abroad were idled with horror and told my daughter that I could be charged with child abuse. However, my daughter showed great respect for me when she told them that she would not be where she was today if not for my strict discipline.
1. According to the passage, the author would probably ______.
A. beat the children every day
B. treat the children in a softer way
C. leave the children as they are
D. punish the children when necessary
2. The underlined word “cajole”( in Para. 3 )probably means ______.
A. persuade B. scold C. forgive D. punish
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The naughty boy’s mother hit him.
B. The teacher’s daughter lived with her mother.
C. The daughter was thankful for the author’s strict discipline.
D. The author was c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )harged with child abuse by the daughter’s friends abroad.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A. Spoil Kids B. Value Discipline
C. Respect Parents D. Protect Kids

Peanuts to This
Proudly readi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes. Confused, I glanced toward my stone faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What could be causing everyone to act this way？”
Quickly, I flash ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(掷)a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails，my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, stan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ding before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear，“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington
Obviously, my grad ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!
1．What did the author's classmates think about his report
A．Controversial. B．Ridiculous. C．Boring. D．Puzzling.
2．Why was the author confused about the task
A．He was unfamiliar with American history.
B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin.
C．He forgot his teacher's instruction.
D．He was new at the school.
3．The underlined word“burning”in Para. 3 probably means ________.
A．annoyed B．ashamed C．ready D．eager
4．In the end, the author turned things around ________.
A．by redoing his task B．through his own efforts
C．with the help o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f his grandfather D．under the guidance of his headmaster
【要点综述】本文讲述了作者作为一个外来移民初入美国学校时，由于对美国历史不了解而闹出的一个笑话，但作者通过努力最后终于提高成绩并实现跳级。
1. B 推理判断题。根据第一段内容我 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )们知道，由于作者对美国历史的无知，弄混了乔治·华盛顿的身份，所以同学们听了作者写的报告忍不住大笑起来。“bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.”可知大家觉得这个报告很荒谬。controversial有争议的；ridiculous荒谬的，可笑的；boring无聊的；puzzling迷惑的，不解的。
2. A 推理判断题。 根据第二 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段“Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country”可知，作者是从别的国家初到美国，所以对美国历史不了解而闹了笑话。
3. D 词义猜测题。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )根据全文叙述可知，作者是通过投掷硬币来决定的答案，因此犯了常识错误。第三段中“I was totally lost.”说明作者不明就里，所以当其他同学读报告时，作者渴望知道为什么。annoyed 烦恼的；ashamed羞愧的；ready准备好的，情愿的；eager渴望的。
4. B 细节理解题。 根据第四段“Co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nsequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year.”可知作者是通过throw oneself into(积极从事)而实现转变的。所以选B。文中老师并没有给作者机会重做，所以A错误；从祖父那里得到建议是在选择华盛顿身份时，所以C错误；而校长是在作者成绩提高后才接见的，所以D错误。

Preparations are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) underway around the world for Chinese New Year (Feb 19) and celebrations in China will be mirrored across the planet wherever the Chinese Diaspora (华侨) calls home. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.
London
Although it may ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London's Chinatown is a perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns (灯笼), previous years have seen shows with acrobatics (杂技), martial arts (武术), dance and opera nearby.
San Francisco
San Francisc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o's Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bangkok
With a more tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n 100-year-old history, the Thai capital's Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.
Mauritius
Found in Port L ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation's rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional Lion dances through the streets.
29. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the text, which of the following has the longest history

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。
Hybrid cars ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（混合动力车） are cars that run on petrol and electricity. They have a small standard petrol engine and a battery (电池) electric motor to provide electric power.
There are some diffe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rences between different models of hybrid cars, but the general principle is that the car runs on petrol, and the electric motor kicks in when additional power is required, for example, when going uphill or accelerating. In some hybrid cars the petrol engine turns itself off when not needed, for example when the car has stopped at traffic light, keeping only the electric engine running.
Conventional cars h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave large engines to deal with driving uphill and accelerating. Hybrid cars have much smaller petrol engines, improved by electric motors when needed, so they use less petrol. Another way that fuel consumption is cut is by a system of "regenerative (再生的) braking". The electric motor is used to slow down the car, rather than conventional brakes. The energy produced by slowing the car is changed into electrical power, which is automatically stored in the battery. In effect, the battery recharges when you brake. In conventional cars the energy produced when braking is wasted.
In 1928 Ferdinand P ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orsche built an experimental hybrid car. The first mass-produced hybrid car, the Toyota Prius, came out in Japan at the end of 1997. However, hybrid cars became available in the USA only in 1999. As they use less fuel, hybrid cars are cheaper to run. There are also many voices in place to encourage people to buy them. In some countries, hybrid car owners pay a lower rate of tax, and don't have to pay on certain roads. In some cities, hybrid cars are allowed to park for free.
32. Hybrid cars ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )consume less energy than conventional cars because hybrid cars _____.
A. have large engines to deal with accelerating
B. have conventional brakes to slow down the car
C. have electric power to assist when needed
D. have no energy consumption when stopping
33. In regenerative braking, _____.
A. energy wasted in conventional cars is stored in the battery
B. the conventional brakes are used to slow down the car
C. the battery charges itself when the car is accelerating
D. the petrol engine is usually turned off automatically
34. From the last paragraph we can learn that Hybrid cars ____.
A. were first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) available in the USA B. will gain more popularity
C. free their ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) owners from tax D. are free to park anywhere in the city
35. The main purpose of this text is to_____.
A. show haw hybrid cars slow down
B. encourage people to buy hybrid cars
C. inform people a kind of energy-saving cars
D. explain why hybrid cars use less energy

Women, be on y ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )our guard. There is a new male excuse for not listening to us.
A recent study show ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s that men find it almost impossible to listen to what women say because their brains are out of synch（不同步的）with "complex female tones".
Apparently, when men listen to other men about the things they care about, they use only the frontal area of their brains. However, when they listen to women it's different story. They have to work much harder, employing a part of the brain that normally deals with music. So when a man tells you your voice is "music to his ears", he's actually telling the truth, though not in a good way.
I'm sure a lot of women could recall times when they have wasted hours explaining why they are completely right about everything in the world, only to wake up the next day to discover that not one brilliant point got through.
Those times when men haven't listened to me, I just thought I was being ignored. I didn't realize I just wasn't singing their favorite music. If I'd realized I was being heard as "music", I would have had a bit of fun with it. Whenever I wanted a "discussion", I'd have brought along my own band, complete with string and horn sections.
It is difficult not to be suspicious of yet more scientific findings sparing men the blame because of their biology. Isn't this "slaves to biology" all-purpose excuse wearing thin It's enough to make you wonder at what a strange helpless species men are ----which part of the body will be "beyond their control" next.
Even if there is something in it, we have to take into account that most relationships are likely to become boring. That's the truth of the matter. Male or female, your voice might start out as music to your beloved's ears. But finally it will end up as boredom.
When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.
1．The author of this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage tries to ___________.
A. throw doubts on a commonly accepted idea
B. explain a commonly accepted idea as it is
C. give some advice on a common problem
D. argue against a common belief
答案解析：答案为B。 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )本题考查文章的写作目的。本文第二段就揭示了为什么男性听不进去女性的话的原因，文章后面的内容对此进行了阐述。故答案为B。
2．According to the new study, men don't listen to women because _________ .
A. what women say are usually boring
B. they don't care abo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut what women say
C. they can't deal with female voices
D. they regard female voices as music
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )题。由第三段的内容可知，男性在听同性的话语的时候只是用了大脑的前面区域；然而听女性的话语的时候，却更费力，因为要使用通常用来听音乐的那部分的大脑区域。故可推断，男性不听女性的话是因为他们大脑不能非常容易地处理女性的声音。故答案为C。干扰性最强的D选项 “他们把女性的声音当成音乐” 与文意不符。故错误。
3．The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph shows that the author is _______.
A. realistic B. humorous C. serious D. funny
答案解析：答案为B。本题为句意推断题。结 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )合第五段的内容，作者以女性的口吻谈到如果她早意识到她是因为 “音乐”而被男人倾听，她会为此而感到些许开怀。无论何时，如果她想要一场“讨论”，就会带上自己的乐队，弦号俱全。故可以推断，划线部分的语言显得幽默。
4．What does the author think of the finding of the new study
A. She thinks it doubtful. B. She thinks it interesting.
C. She thinks it needs further proof. D. She thinks it right.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )断题。由倒数第三段首句 “It is difficult not to be suspicious of …” 可知，本句话的同义词就是doubtful..故答案为A。
5．The author would most probably agree that ________.
A. men should accept what women say
B. women should talk less and do more housework
C. however beautiful voices may be, they will finally become boring
D. the relationship between men and women should always be improving
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。从最后一段 “When your beautiful tones are there all the time, as they go about their daily business, you start to blend in a bit too much, until finally you become a kind of background noise.” 可知，当你美妙的旋律每天都出现在男人日常生活中的时候，最后也会变成背景噪音。故答案为C.
A、B未提及；倒数第二段首 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )句提到了 “… most relationships are likely to become boring.” D选项与此不符，故错误。

Listen carefully, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s “no”.
What do you ask We’ll say it again: “No”.
Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at yo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to other ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is preci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ous. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”
Susie Watson, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
Susie Watson says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”
Watson said “no” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
“No” is power and ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
1. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.
A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )节推理题。由第五、六段可知，对别人说 “不”就是对自己说 “是”，当在办公室说 “不”的时候，你可以看到你桌上的文件很快就完成了。故答案为D。
2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.
A. secret way B. polite way
C. proud way D. guilty way
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )理题。由第八段 “…I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ …”的 “loving” 可以推断，答案为B。
3. In Watson’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.
A. they say “no” at a suitable time
B. they say “no” as much as possible
C. they are afraid of saying “no”
D. they make others angry at them
答案解析：答案为A. 本题为推理题。结合倒 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )数第五段的内容和该段的最后一句话 “…My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” 可知，Watson的总结性意见是如果你不打算对别人说 “不”，那就说 “是”。故可以推断，说 “不”要在合适的时间。故答案为A。
4. If a person says ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A. enjoys a wonderful life B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life D. forgets to say “yes” in the end
答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由最后一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段 Charles 所讲的 “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything…”可知，他认为不能凡事都说 “不”，不能走极端。故可以推断，如果凡事说 “不”，生活就会遇到麻烦。
