社会生活类
“Everyone is entitled ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )（有权） to their opinion" is a remark commonly heard in our society. We value free speech and the rights of the individual. The private preferences we keep, as long as they do not bother with the rights and freedoms of others, are ours to do with as we wish.
Children lear ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n this central principle early on and soon become expert at using it effectively to suit their own purposes. The phrase ‘‘well, it's just my opinion" can act as a get-out clause which avoids further questioning or the need to give an explanation. A student may well prefer to put up a brick wall and so avoid the difficult task of providing a justification（正当的理由） for their view.They know the holy position freedom of speech holds for all of us and they know the taboo（禁忌）around challenging the opinions of others when they do not produce unfavorable effects on anyone else.
This can make thi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ngs hard for the teacher. We want to promote tolerance and respect in our classrooms and give young people a sense: this is how one ought to behave. Yet, we are also seeking to develop reasoning and critical thinking. To some extent, there is an idea that people's views carry equal weight because all individuals ought to be treated equally. Treating people equally is different from treating what they say with equal weight, though. We need to make clear to students that the right to one's opinions does not ignore the need to support them with argument when called to do so.
Justification i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the signal difference between opinion and argument. Opinions are stated; arguments are advanced. Opinions are given; arguments are proposed. When we ask a student to explain themselves, we are asking them to give us something that will lend evidence to what they have said. We are asking them to convince us, to persuade us, to show us the reasonableness of what it is they are saying.
64. According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Paragraph 2, if you offer a get-out clause, you may .
A. fall into a difficult situation B. escape being questioned
C. raise your social p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )osition D. have to further explain your opinion
65. The teacher may find it hard to .
A. put up a brick wall to avoid giving acceptable reasons
B. challenge the opinions of others to have a deep effect on them
C. encourage ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tolerance and respect while developing reasoning and critical thinking
D. tell the differences between opinion and argument
66. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A. students B. teachers C. needs D. opinions
67. What would be the best title for this passage
A. Everyone is entitled to their opinion
B. Never bother with the rights of others
C. “It's just my opinion" isn't good enough
D. Treat what people say equally
【参考答案】2. 64-67 BCDC
社会生活类-
In his 1930 essay “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”, John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was su ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demand for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )limits to the escalation of demands for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market. Priced at over $120,000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )esire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
64. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3
A. They want to show their superiority.
B. They find specialty important to meals.
C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.
D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.
65. What does the un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )derlined word “escalation” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Understanding. B. Increase.
C. Difference. D. Study.
66. The author of the passage argues that ________.
A. absolute needs have no limits
B. demands for quality are not insatiable
C. human desires influence ideas of quality
D. relative needs decide most of our spending

【2015高考复习】阅读理解
A new generation addi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ction is quickly spreading all over the world.Weboholism，a twentieth century disease，affects people from different ages.They surf the Net，use e mails and speak in chat rooms.They spend many hours on the computer，and it becomes a compulsive habit.They cannot stop，and it affects their lives.
Ten years ago，no ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )one thought that using computers could become compulsive behavior that could affect the social and physical life of computer users.This obsessional behavior has affected teenagers and college students.They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites.
They become hooked ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation.They spend all free time surfing and don’t concentrate on homework，so this addiction influences their grades and success at school.Because they can find everything on the websites，they hang out there.Moreover，this addiction to websites influences their social life.
They spend more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )time in front of computers than with their friends.The relation with their friends changes.The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society.
Because of the cha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nge in their behavior，they begin to keep themselves apart from society and live with their virtual friends.They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.Although they feel confident on the computer，they are not confident with real live friends they have known all their life.It is a problem for the future.This addictive behavior is beginning to affect all the world.
【语篇解读】 网瘾在全球迅速蔓延，成为世纪通病，影响着不同年龄的人群。
1．The author’s attitude towards weboholism is that of being________.
A．optimistic B．disapproving
C．positive D．acceptable
解析 作者态度题。结合第一段后半部分提到的网瘾的不良影响可知，作者对网瘾持不赞成的态度。另外，第三、四、五段的内容都是线索提示。
答案 B
2．What is the main idea of the passage
A．The influence of weboholism.
B．The advantage of weboholism.
C．The popularity of weboholism.
D．The cause of weboholism.
解析 主旨大意题。文章第一段开门见山地阐述了网瘾的危害，然后从不同方面详细阐述了它造成的不良影响，所以A项最能概括文章大义。
答案 A
3．What does t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he underlined word “obsessional” in the second paragraph most probably mean
A．Attractive. B．Professional.
C．Addictive. D．Potential.
解析 词义猜测题。第二段最后一句提到青少年和 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )大学生可能会登录电脑，在不同的网站上花费很长的时间，由此可推知“obsessional”的意思是“痴迷的，上瘾的”，与“addictive”同义。
答案 C
4．We can infer from the passage that________.
A．weboholism has the greatest effect on teenagers
B．students can hardly balance real and virtual life
C．people are addicted to games on the Internet
D．virtual life is more vivid and attractive anyway
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第三句 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )“The virtual life becomes more important than their real life.”以及最后一段第一句中的“they begin to keep themselves apart from society and live with their virtual friends”可推知，学生们几乎不能平衡真实生活和虚拟生活。
答案 B

(2015·北京市朝阳区第一次综合练习)
Culture and Cuisine
The United States is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )known for jazz and blue jeans. But travel to Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine(烹饪)and he's likely to answer，“McDonalds.”Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and I'm afraid you'd get the same answer, or something close to it.
Hamburgers and hotdogs ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and fries are all fine, but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food, the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live. True, many Americans are eating more varied foods these days, but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups, and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisine.
So what exactly is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )American cuisine Well, to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture, meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat, dairy products, pork, beef and poultry. But American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World, including potatoes, corn, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and peanuts.
The one regi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep South. The South lost the Civil War, but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditions—and in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American, which is why we're pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creation. That's right, grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and Savannah. Truth is, they never really left, but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurants.
In fact, a large nu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mber of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselves. Time will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that, say, Italian cuisine has, but it's amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times.
文章大意：该文是说明文。主要介绍关于美国饮食的变化历程。
9．According to ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the passage, American cuisine impresses people as being ________.
A．dull and changeless
B．rich and various
C．popular and delicious
D．disagreeable and unpleasant
答案：A 细节理解题。A ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )项枯燥并无变化；B项丰富并多变的；C项受欢迎且味道鲜美的；D项不赞成且不愉快的。根据第二段的．..the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneous—all the same—no matter where you live可知，美国的烹饪无变化。故选A。
10．It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that ________.
A．cuisines of other countries play a more important role in America
B．American cuisine has become increasingly lacking in variety
C．American cuisine tends to vary because of immigration
D．American cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines
答案：B 推理判断题。通 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )读全文，文中多次出现“homogeneous... homogenization...”说明 American cuisine 正在模式化，统一化，甚至同化了一些外来的饮食。故选B。
11．From the passage, we know that grits and gravy ________.
A．were cooked with new materials after the Civil War
B．are gaining popularity in the south of America
C．were more popular over ten years ago
D．are seldom served in restaurants
答案：B 推理判断题。根据文章第四段的“gr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )its and gravy are back in a big way in cities...”说明 American cuisine 流行起来了。 从后文的“time will tell...in other regions”能看出来这种流行现在还局限在南方。故选B。
12．What's the write ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r's attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America
A．Concerned and cautious. B．Hopeless and doubtful.
C．Positive and supportive. D．Critical and disapproving.
答案：C 细节理解题。Concerned a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nd cautious担心的和认真的；Hopeless and doubtful无希望的并怀疑的；Positive and supportive积极并支持的；Critical and disapproving批评和否定的。通读全文，并根据文章的最后一句话 it's amazing and heartening to see one of our... 说明作者的是积极并支持的。所以选 C。

Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering, I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books.

When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.
Now, it seems the tab ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )les have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment (责任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most importantly, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I’ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries!

If, for some reason, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )you had 2, 010 empty plastic bottles, what would you do You’d probably sell them cheaply, right But Xia Yu collected 2, 010 bottles and built a boat with them. As you read this, Xia is, in fact, on a river somewhere in Anhui, slowly going towards his destination: the Expo Garden in Shanghai. 2, 010 plastic bottles was to celebrate Expo (世博会)2010 Shanghai. On the opening day of the Expo, Xia, together with five friends, went on a 1, 500 kilometres’ journey from Xiangtan to the Expo Garden, in spite of the doubt whether they’ll make it. After all, the boat they are on can hardly be called a boat. It cost only 2, 000 yuan to build in a month.
What’s keeping Xia ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) going is a major cause behind the trip. “We are examining water pollution through our journey and trying to promote a low-carbon (低碳)lifestyle. Before we started, no one believed we could sail the boat to the Dongting Lake. But we made it.”But as they expected, the journey has not always been smooth. Of the six from Xiangtan, four gave up. As of the press time (到发稿时), only Xia and his friend Huang Ying were on the boat. Huang suffered from a disease when they reached Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Xia said, “There are so many things that can stop up from making it to Shanghai, like the weather, health, and sometimes swift river water.”
“The boat was prod ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uced in a factory according to our design, and perhaps it’s not in a very good condition. But,”Xia said, “we are wearing life jackets”. “Some boats passing by offered help.”What is more of a reward for Xia and Huang is that the Yangtze River turned out much cleaner than they had expected. Although Xia and Huang are uncertain about the journey ahead, they are “quite happy”with what they have already achieved. “After all, it’s not the destination that counts. It’s always the course that matters the most.”
1. Xia Yu doubts the success of the journey because of______.
A. such a long journey on the river
B. the poor boat and the bad weather
C. few people taking part in the journey
D. the seriously polluted river in some parts
2. Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the journey
A. To examine water pollution.
B. To celebrate Expo 2010 Shanghai.
C. To win a race on the water.
D. To promote a low-carbon lifestyle.
3. From the text we know that______.
A. they stay on the boat at night
B. three people gave up due to their bad health
C. Xia Yu and his mate have arrived in Shanghai
D. Huang suffered from a disease on the journey
4. The last paragraph tells us Xia Yu and Huang Ying______.
A. pay more attention to the process
B. are sure to arrive at the destination
C. helped turn the Yangtze River cleaner

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。
At present we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will explain a very old saying that has had a great effect on rock-and-roll music. That saying is “A rolling stone gathers no moss（苔藓）”．It has several meanings. One meaning is that a person who never settles down in one place will not be successful. Another is that someone who is always moving, with no roots in one place, avoids responsibilities.
This proverb was sa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )id to be first used in the 1500s. But in the 1960s, the expression “rolling stone” became famous in the world of rock-and-roll music. It became the name of a song, a rock group and a magazine.
Experts say it all ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )started with a song by the American singer and guitarist Muddy Waters. He was one of the country's top blues musicians until his death in 1983. His music influenced singers like Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. In 1950, Muddy Waters recorded a song called “Rolling Stone”．
A British rock group ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is said to have taken its name from Muddy Waters' song. The Rolling Stones performed for the first time in 1962.The group's members called themselves “the world's greatest rock-and-roll band”．
In 1965, Bob Dylan rel ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eased （发行）his song “Like a Rolling Stone”．It is one of his best known and most influential works.
It is an angry son ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g about a woman who was once rich and successful. But now she is on her own, “with no direction home, like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone”.
In 1967, a young ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n named Jann Wenner started a magazine and he named it “Rolling Stone”. The magazine reported on rock music and the popular culture that the music created. By 1971, “Rolling Stone” had become the leading rock music and counterculture publication. It is still popular today.
13．All of them are musicians except ________．
A．Jann Wenner B．Muddy Waters C．Elvis Presley D．Bob Dylan
14. Which person can ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be described as a rolling stone according to the proverb
A．A person who ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s a successful career. B．A person who always changes his jobs.
C．A person who is out of work. D．A person who has no family.
15．Who first used “rolling stone” as a name for music

It is hardly surpr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.
( ) 1. What is sur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )prising about the standard of the clothing industry
A. It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years.
B. It is different for men's clothing and women's.
C. It woks better with men than with women.
D. It fails to consider right-handed people.
( ) 2. What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century
A. They tended to wear clothes without buttons.
B. They were interested in the historical matters.
C. They were mostly dressed by servants.
D. They drew their swords from the left.
( ) 3. Women's clothes still button from the left today because.
A. adopting men's style is improper for women
B. manufacturers should follow standards
C. modern women dress themselves
D. customs are hard to change
( ) 4. The passage is mainly developed by.
A. analyzing causes
B. making comparisons
C. examining differences
D. following the time order

Sitting on the peacefu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun move quietly into the sea, you shouldn't forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882) arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species. You can certainly follow Darwin's footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven days to the islands. The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day is as impressive as it could be. The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise(巨型海龟), which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Sanra Cruz, the second largest island in the archipelago(群岛). Some of these creatures are so old that they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself. Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures: diving with sea lions that swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim; and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air. Travelling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning of time.
( ) 1. What do we know about Darwin's visit to the islands
A. He studied different creatures on the islands
B. He completed his famous book on the islands
C. He was touched by the geography of the islands
D. He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands
( ) 2. Which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the following plays a role in making the islands "a paradise for wildlife"
A. Animals on the islands feed on grass.
B. Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C. People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
D. Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
( ) 3. Your sta ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of_________.
A. The beautiful sea views
B. Darwin's inspiring trip
C. a closer view of animals
D. various daring activities
( ) 4. Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )following would be the best title for the passage

Arthur Miller(1915 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many others by the“Great American Dream”. However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller's most fam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system, with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment: if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first stag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed in 1949, the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews，and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) heart failure at his home in Roxbury，Connecticut, on the evening of February 10, 2005, the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.
本文讲述了亚瑟·米勒，美国著名的剧作家，以及他的著名的戏剧《男售货员之死》，当这部戏剧第一次搬上舞台时，赢得了巨大的成功，获得了三项大奖。
1. Why did Arthur Miller' s father move to the USA
A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
B. He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”．
C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D. His family business failed.
答案：B。细节理解题。根据短文第一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )段第二句话“Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary，drawn like so many others by the ‘Great American Dream’．”可知答案。
2．The play Death of a Salesman ________.
A. exposes the cruelty of the American business world
B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D. focuses on the skills in doing business
答案：A。细节理解题。根据短 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )文第二段第三、四句话可知，Willy Loman已陷入美国社会制度的困境中，他已精疲力尽，在这残酷的商业世界中，他不知道应该怎样做，最后，他选择了自杀。由此可知A项正确。
3. What can we learn about Willy Loman
A. He treats his emplo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )yer badly. B. He runs the Wagner Company.
C. He is a victim of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the American system. D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
答案：C。推理判断题。由短文第二段可知，Wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lly Loman在这残酷的商业世界中，根本没有情感可言，但是他又不能对不起他的雇主和公司，他又不知道如何处理自己的失败，只有选择自杀，由此可知他是美国社会制度的牺牲品。
4. After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman________.
A. achieved huge success B. won the first Tony Award
C. was warmly w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )elcomed by salesmen D. was severely attacked by dramatists
答案：A。细节理解题。由短文第三段可知，戏剧Death of a Salesman第一次搬上舞台，就赢得了三项大奖，故A项正确。
5. What is the text mainly about

C. The hardsh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ip Arthur Miller experienced. D. Arthur Miller and his best known play.
答案：D。主旨大意题。综观全文可知，本文主要讲述了亚瑟·米勒及他的名著Death of a Salesman，故D项正确。

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。
When I was 12 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I got a part-time job on a dairy farm, milking cows. We milked 65 cows twice a day. One day, I complained to my father about having to go milk those cows, saying it was tiring. He said, you know, boy, to work is a blessing. I looked at the men who'd worked harder. I had a feeling I had been told something really important, but it took many years before it sunk in.
Back then, going t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o college was a rare privilege. My father told me if I'd picked something to study that I liked doing, I'd always look forward to my work. But he also added, even having a job you hate is better than not having a job at all. I wanted to be a farmer, but I joined a military program to help pay for college. And what started out as an obligation to the Army became a way of life that I stayed committed to for 37 years.
In the late 1980s, d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uring a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with her baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer. I asked a local officer why they weren't using a machine to make the work easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. And as bad as that woman's job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive. It reminded me of my father's words: to work is a blessing.
After seeing a lo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t of people like that woman in Bangladesh, I've come to believe that people without jobs are not free. They're victims of crime, poor health, and depression. People who have jobs can have a home, send their kids to school, develop a sense of pride, contribute to the good of the community and even help others. When we can work, we are free. We are blessed.
33. Which can be the best title of the text
A. My chosen way of life B. To work is a blessing
C. Why should I work D. Inspiration from a woman
34. The writer joined a military program because _______.
A. his parents fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rced him to do so B. he intended to find a lifetime job
C. he couldn't ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) afford his college education D. he could travel abroad with the army
35. What does the writer intend to say through the last paragraph
A. People withou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t jobs could achieve more. B. Freedom is not always free for people.
C. Rich people sho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld help those in need. D. We should feel fortunate to have a job.

So you want to dra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w money from a bank Do it yourself. Want to fix a broadband internet connection Do it yourself. Need a boarding card for your flight Do it yourself. In theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service. There is even talk of self-service doing for the service department what mass production did for factories, by enabling the delivery of services cheaply and on a massive scale. Surely the expansion of self-service into more and more areas is to be welcomed
Not necessarily. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )When it is done well, self-service can do good to both companies and customers. But when done badly—who has not found themselves trapped in a series of endless touch—tone menus In areas where self-service is only just started, this is less of a problem: angry customers can after all, always take their business elsewhere. But if every bank were to prefer self-service systems, customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet. As a result, some banks, for example, already promise that their telephone-banking services always offer the choice of talking to a human operator. But in return for human service, many companies will simply charge more.
Another disagreeme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt to self-service is that while it saves companies money, it does not always save their customers’ time. In the best cases, it does, of course: checking yourself in at the airport can be quicker than queuing or making a phone call. But as more and more tasks are on to customers, they may start to hope for the days of old-fashioned service.
All of this sugge ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sts that there are limits to how far self-service can be taken. Companies that go too far down the self-service route or to do it incorrectly are likely to find themselves being punished. Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.
1．From this ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )passage, we can see that the writer the use of self-service technology.
A. dislikes B. supports
C. thinks highly of D. makes carefully judgment on
答案解析：答案为D ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。本题考查作者的观点态度。结合第一段和最后一段可知，作者认为自助服务有优点也有缺点，故答案为D，作者对自助服务的评价非常小心。
2．What advantages does the self-service technology certainly bring
A. Cutting the cost for the companies.
B. Saving money for customers.
C. Offering customers extra money.
D. Defeating the traditional forms of service.
答案解析：答案为A。本题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为细节题。由文章第一段 “In theory, companies can save money by replacing human workers with automated self-service systems, while customers gain more choices and control and get quicker service.” 可知，A选项正确，B、C错误。D选项未提及。
3．What does the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riter mean by saying “customers would no longer be able to express their discount by voting with their feet”
A. customers woul ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d be so angry that they kick and damage the machine providing self-service.
B. customers wou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ld not be able to express their anger at the bank’s service by leaving there
C. customers would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) try their best to persuade the bank to stop self-service.
D. customers would elect some leaders to have a talk with the bank.
答案解析：答案为B。本题 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )为句意理解题。本句话出现在第二段的第五句话中，如果每个银行将选择自助服务系统，客户会怎样？结合下文给的例证可知，结果是银行只能提供客户人工操作的选择，故可推断如果客户只能选择自助服务系统，一旦它出现故障，客户即使离开银行也将无法表达对银行服务的愤怒。故答案为B。
4．Which of the following statements does the writer agree to
A. Banks s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hould supply self-service and traditional forms of service as well.
B. Self-service in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )banks has so many week points and should be stopped.
C. Self-service ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can bring about many conveniences and should be supported.
D. Banks don’t consider customers’ needs in their business.
答案解析：答案为A。本题考查作者 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )的观点态度。本题与第一题类似，结合前面几题的分析，作者认为自助服务可以给银行和客户带来好处，但是自助服务也有不足之处。又由最后一段最后一句话 “Instead, a balance between self-service and traditional forms of service is necessary.” 可知，作者认为自助服务与传统形式的服务保持平衡是必要的，故答案为A。

尽管第一段最后一句话 “Stu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dy as little as half an hour a day and in twelve weeks you could be talking confidently in the language of your choice.” 提到，该课程让学习者12周内可以自信地讲学习的语言，但这毕竟是做广告，广告词不免有夸大的成分，可见A 并不能作为合理的推断。广告以销售产品为目的，不会免费。故答案B错误。

4．The purpose of the ad is to .
A. offer Linguaphone cassettes to learners

【2016高考训练】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。
You love Jay Chou' ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s songs and you can sing some quite well. So you make a video of your performance and post it online for your friends to see. But what if this led to something beyond your wildest imagination—a career in music
Canadian teenag ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er Justin Bieber, 16, has just had the magical experience: He posted homemade videos of his versions of songs by American singer Chris Brown online for his relatives. He received a phone call from Brown, telling him how much he liked his performance. His singing eventually earned him a fan base and a record contract. After releasing a popular EP (extended play密纹唱片) record in November 2009, his album My world 2.0 came out last Tuesday.
Bieber sings b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )allads and songs about puppy love. But is he just another gooey (甜腻的) teen idol David Malitz, a columnist with the Washington Post, doesn't think so. “If we truly want the best for American children, let us pause and give thanks for Justin Bieber，” he writes. “After years of humdrum bubblegum (乏味的摇滚舞曲) from Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, the 16 year old has thrown a candy coated wrench (扭转) into Disney's heartthrob (甜心) assembly line (生产线) by giving young fans something worth screaming their lungs out for: lovable pop songs.”
From a boy who grew u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p below the poverty line with his divorced mom to a star who caused near riots (近乎失控) in shopping malls, even Bieber himself can't believe his overnight fame, although his kind of success is becoming more and more common in the Internet era.
Interested in hockey ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(冰球), the national sport of Canada, the boy once put up pictures of players on the walls of his bedroom. He dreamed of being a hockey star and used to practice signing his autograph (签名). He doesn't need practice now. He signs autographs, if the girls can get close enough, as a music star.
1.What did Chris Brown think of Justin Bieber's singing
A.He didn't like it.
B.He liked it very much.

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。
If the earth ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s population is in growth at this rate , there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.
Sagan believes that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) before the earth's resources are completely exhausted it will be possible to change the atmosphere of Venus and so create a new world almost as large as the earth itself. The difficult is that Venus is much hotter than the earth and there is only a tiny amount of water there.
Sagan proposes that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) algae organisms(海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere .In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.
When the algae h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ave done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on it but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like earth will be reproduced on Venus.
32.In the long run, t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he most difficult problem caused by population growth on the earth will probably be the lack of ______.
A. oil B. food C. resources D. space
33.Carl Sagan believ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es that Venus might be a living place because _____
A. the days on Venus are long enough
B. it might be possible to change its atmosphere
C. there is a good supply of water on Venus
D. its atmosphere is the same as the earth's
34.Algae are plants that can____.
A. live in very hot ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) temperature B. live in very cold temperature
C. produce oxygen D. all of the above
35. Man can land on Venus only when_______.
A. it rains there B. there is oxygen
C. the atmosphere becomes cooler D. the algae have done their work

Although I started l ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )earning English during my college years, when I entered the States, I only understood two English words “Yes” and “No”. We learned many grammar rules but we could not make the language connections to the real English world. Language frustration worries almost all first generation immigrants. For example, I got a letter from a Chinese-American who has lived in the States for a long time and has a good IT job saying “My 11-year-old girl writes quite well, but as her parents, we could not even read her article.”In addition, my Chinese-American professor friend has difficulty reading a novel. Improving our English skills has become a long journey for all of us. Honestly, if I have a chance, I really want to reach out to everyone in the world who has had a similar experience: learning a second language in adulthood. I wish I could encourage them to speak out about the culture shock, frustration they felt about the differences between West and East.
I have mainly focused ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on my English writing since 2008 after I found “Literacy Volunteers”, an organization that specially focuses on helping immigrants improve their English. I decided to challenge myself, writing a story like an American. I saw many wonderful Americans there. As soon as I met my teacher Alice, I asked her to be my private language tutor and have taken Tims English class. Every week Alice and I have worked on my English essays sentence by sentence.
To observe the cultur ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e differences between West and East, occasionally, I posted a few of my English essays online. I mentioned previously about American culture; when people read the same article or even face the same situation, American and Chinese act very differently. In my viewpoint, these differences make America the strongest country in the world. I know you have the right to express your own opinions, but accusing others without proof is not acceptable.
1. The purpose of the passage is .
A. to show how hard a Chinese-American lives in America
B. to share her experience of improving her English
C. to imply grammar rules are not important
D. to warn Chinese-Americans of English
2. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “frustration” in the first paragraph means .
A. failure and setbacks
B. words and problems
C. understanding and progress
D. slang and idioms
3. If the author had a good master of English, .
A. she would open a school for Chinese-Americans
B. she would like to hears the differences spoken out
C. she could lend a hand to the children for learning
D. she might earn some money by giving advice
4. In the passage, “Literacy Volunteers” is .
A. only intended to help the Chinese-Americans
B. an organization which is set up to make a profit
C. of great use to people like the author
D. a school showing how to enjoy literature
5. From the last paragraph we can learn that .
A. Americans and Chinese are of the same idea about something
B. culture shock only exists between Chinese and Americans
C. accusing others freely can be acceptable in America
D. culture differences have great influence on the people

If you have kids, you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )probably struggle over whether you should focus on working hard to make money and provide them with the best possible life, or if it’s more valuable to spend every moment that you can with them. But no matter which side of the fence you fall on, here’re some good news if you’re a parent: today’s parents are spending far more time with their children than generations past.
A new study from e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )conomists at University of California, San Diego analyzes available data from the last 35 years to measure how much time parents are spending actively with their children, participating in activities such as taking them to school, helping with homework, bathing them, playing catch with them in the back yard. According to the study, today’s college-educated mothers spend an average of 21. 2 hours a week actively caring for their children, while women with less education spend an average of 15. 9 hours. It has risen since 1995, when the average was just 12 hours.
Dads are spending more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) time tossing the ball around, too: pre-1995 fathers with college educations only spent about 4. 5 hours a week playing with their children. Today, the average has more than doubled. For fathers with a high school education, the total has still gone up, from 3. 7 hours to 6. 8.
Today’s parents are do ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ing a great job balancing life and work and even though you may want even more time at home with your children. A Families and Work Institute study shows that your kids don’t care so much about that. They just want you to enjoy the time you do spend with them. “Kids were more likely to wish that their parents were less tired and less stressed,” Galinsky said.
So when you’re at you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r son’s soccer game, put the Blackberry away, and cheer him on instead.
1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage

A. Parents would like to have more kids.
B. College-educated mothers enjoy playing with kids.
C. Women with less education don’t take their kids seriously.
D. The less educ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ation a parent has, the less time he spends with kids.
3. What about the college-educated father with their kids nowadays
A. They usually play with kids about 4. 5 hours.
B. They often devote 9 hours to playing with kids.
