My Favourite Books
Jo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co﹣author of the This Book Will series (系列) of lifestyle books.Here she picks her top reads.
Matilda
Roald Dahl
I once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave me a new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds.Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress,Miss Trunchbull,are equally funny and frightening,but they're also aspirational.
After Dark
Haruki Murakami
It's about two sisters﹣Eri,a model who either won't or can't stop sleeping,and Mari,a young student.In trying to connect to her sister,Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets.
Gone Girl
Gillian Flynn
There was a bit of me that didn't want to love this when everyone else on the planet did,but the horror story is brilliant.There's tension and anxiety from the beginning as Nick and Amy battle for your trust.It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable.

4.At primary school in New Zealand,I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks.When our money box was full,we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter.As a reward,we could choose our next money box from a small variety,and start the whole savings routine again.Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and "make ends meet".Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later,as a university student,I managed on an extremely small student allowance.Students were ignored by banks then,because we were so poor,and there was no way I could have gotten credit,even if I had tried.We collected our allowance three times each year,deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter,Sophie,began to walk,we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely.We often comment when the TV tells us "You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"﹣to whom do we really owe it?And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up?Now,as a 12﹣year﹣old child,it's almost embarrassing to see her tight "financial policy",and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important.But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.
(1)What did the author learn from her parents?    
A.How to become a banker.
B.Where to open a savings account.
C.Where to choose a money box.
D.How to make ends meet.

(4)What's the text mainly about?    
A.Parents,money problems.
B.Students' school performance.
C.Children's saving behavior.
D.Children's financial education.

13.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。
Although being famous might sound like a dream comes true,today's stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi(狗仔队)camp outside their homes,cameras ready.Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to the psychologists,celebrities(名人)worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.Over little,they feel separated and alone.
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B.C.,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,his sold﹣out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles ghoul filth﹣slats in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today,however,is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous,there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome,why aren't all celebrities running away from it?The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.With these effective approaches,some celebrities relieve the stress and remain popular with fans.Consequently,though being famous is driving some stars crazy,some wise ones enjoy what reputation brings them.

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。艾米莉 狄金森是美国传奇诗人,青少年时代生活单调而平静,受正规的教育。从25岁开始弃绝社交闭门不出,在孤独中埋头写诗三十年,留下诗稿2000余首;生前只是发表过七首,其余的都是她死后才出版。
【解答】(1)D.推理判断题。根据第二段第二句" In 1847,she studied at the Hadley Female Seminary (now known as Mount Holyoke College)but returned to Amherst only after a year,and began her own unique life."(1847年,她就读于哈德利女子神学院(即现在的曼荷莲学院) ,但只过了一年就回到阿默斯特学院,开始了她独特的生活。) 可知,1848年她开始了她独特的生活。根据第一段第一句"Verylttle is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to herself and lived a life ofsolitude(隐居). " (人们对艾米莉伊丽莎白狄金森的了解很少,因为这位美国诗人总是孤僻,过着孤独的生活。) 可知,她独特的生活就是指隐居。所以1 848年她开始了隐居生活。故选D.
(2)C.推理判断题。根据第三段第二句中的"Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco" (查尔斯沃兹沃斯移居到了旧金山)可知,查尔斯沃兹沃斯曾经住在旧金山。故选C.
(3)A.细节理解题。根据最后一段Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15,1886.Her poems were published by her sister,Lavinia in 1886.During her life,only seven poems were published,but Emily Dickinson has penned almost 2,000 poems." (艾米莉狄金森终身未婚,于1886年5月15日辞世。她的诗由她的姐姐拉维尼娅于1886年出版。艾米莉狄金森一生只发表过7首诗,但她却写了近2000首诗。) 可知艾米莉的大部分诗是在1886年她去世后发表的。故选A.
(4)A.主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句"She was born on 10th December 1830 " (她出生于1830年12月10日),第二段第一句"From1834 to 1847,Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy,an academic institution that was co﹣founded by her grandfather,Samuel Fowler Dickinson."(从1834年到1847年,艾米莉狄金森就读于她的祖父塞缪尔福勒狄金森创办的阿默斯特学院。) 最后一段第一句"Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15,1886.Her poems were published by her sister,Lavinia in 1886." (艾米莉狄金森终身未婚,于1886年5月15日辞世。她的诗由她的姐姐拉维尼娅于1886年出版)可知,文章按照时间线讲述了艾米莉作为诗人的一生。故选A.

4.At primary school in New Zealand,I was introduced to a school savings account run by one of the local banks.When our money box was full,we took it to the bank and watched with pride as our coins flowed across the counter.As a reward,we could choose our next money box from a small variety,and start the whole savings routine again.Every week I watched my parents sort out the housekeeping and "make ends meet".Sometimes it was annoying to wait for things we really felt we needed.
Later,as a university student,I managed on an extremely small student allowance.Students were ignored by banks then,because we were so poor,and there was no way I could have gotten credit,even if I had tried.We collected our allowance three times each year,deposited it to the best advantage and withdrew it little by little to last until the next payout of the allowance.
When our daughter,Sophie,began to walk,we made a purposeful choice to encourage her to use money wisely.We often comment when the TV tells us "You owe it to yourself to borrow our money"﹣to whom do we really owe it?And what would happen if our income were reduced or dried up?Now,as a 12﹣year﹣old child,it's almost embarrassing to see her tight "financial policy",and wait for the unavoidable holiday sales to buy what she wants.
I agree that financial education in schools is very important.But the root of the problem lies with us and the way we behave as role models to those who follow.

5.The best way to set yourself up for success is to make sure that your goals are SMART:specific,measurable,attainable,relevant,and timely.
Make your goals specific
You need to give yourself a concrete goal so you know exactly what you're working toward.(1) C  .Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal?What exact goal do you want to accomplish?Be very specific.When will you start and when will you reach your goal?
Make your goals measurable
Now that you have some of the specifics of your goal nailed down,it's time to look at how you will measure your progress.After all,if you don't have any way to measure your goal,how will you know when you've reached it?(2) G  .Some examples of measurable goals might be pounds lost,a positive change in blood work numbers,or fitness minutes accumulated.
Make your goals attainable
It's good to think big.(3) E  .A goal that's attainable for you is one that you believe you can reach and have all the support,equipment,knowledge and resources needed to put your goals into action.
Make your goals relevant
You need to make sure that you're choosing a goal that fits you and your lifestyle.(4) F  Pick something that is meaningful and relevant to you and you'll set yourself up for success.
Make your goals timely
(5) A  .Otherwise,it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it.Every goal should have a date,which will help you stay on track.In addition,set up a few mini﹣deadlines to keep you on track to reaching your big﹣picture goal.
A.Put a deadline on your goal.
B.Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
C.You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions.
D.Therefore,you should know in advance how you will make this happen.
E.However,it's also important that you don't set a goal that is too big to reach.
F.Don't choose a goal just because someone else thinks it's something you "should" do.
G.Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers.
【答案】CGEFA
【分析】本文是说明文。如果人们要想取得成功,设立一个具体可行的目标很重要,本文给出了五条设立目标的建议。
【解答】(1)C.推理判断题。根据下文的三个问句"Who will be involved in helping you reach your goal?What exact goal do you want to accomplish?""When will you start and when will you reach your goal?"可知,如果我们能够清楚地知道这三个问题的答案,那么我们的目标就是非常清晰的。C项"You know your goal is specific if it answers these questions."符合上下文语境。故选C。
(2)G.推理判断题。根据下文"Some examples of measurable goals might be pounds lost,a positive change in blood work numbers,or fitness minutes accumulated."可知,列举的事例恰好使用数字来测量我们所取得的进步。G项"Your goal is measurable if you can find a way to quantify your success using real numbers."与上下文语境相符。故选G。
(3)E.推理判断题。本段的标题"Make your goals attainable"意为"让你的目标可以实现"。空格前的意思是"志向远大很好",空格后的意思是"一个你认为能实现的目标……"。分析选项可知,E项"然而,同样重要的是,你不要设定一个太大而无法达到的目标"和上文构成转折关系。故选E。
(4)F.结合上文题。上文告诉我们要确保选择了一个适合自己的目标。F项"Don't choose a goal just because someone else thinks it's something you 'should' do."符合上下文语境。故选F。
(5)A.标题归纳题。根据下文的"Otherwise,it will be difficult to know how to pace yourself to reach it."可知,我们要给自己的目标设立一个时间节点。A项"Put a deadline on your goal."符合上下文语境。故选A。
【点评】考查学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断。此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断。

【点评】本文为提纲类作文,要求写一篇100词左右的英语短文,题目给出很详细的要点和提示词,学生需要在提示词的帮助下,将要点表达清楚,包含:出生;去世;身份;政治理想和影响,我们需要用正确的英语把给出的要点表达出来.不能遗漏要点,写作时使用一般过去时,人称是第三人称,尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式,同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次.
13.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60词左右的内容概要。
Although being famous might sound like a dream comes true,today's stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi(狗仔队)camp outside their homes,cameras ready.Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to the psychologists,celebrities(名人)worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.Over little,they feel separated and alone.
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B.C.,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,his sold﹣out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles ghoul filth﹣slats in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today,however,is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous,there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their "story" alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome,why aren't all celebrities running away from it?The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.With these effective approaches,some celebrities relieve the stress and remain popular with fans.Consequently,though being famous is driving some stars crazy,some wise ones enjoy what reputation brings them.
【答案】Living in the public gaze,stars suffer from great pressure. What's worse,anxiety over their public appearance robs them of the objective self﹣image,which leads to the feeling of isolation in the long term. While being tracked has been a headache to celebrities for centuries,modern cameras and the Internet make it harder for famous ones to keep their privacy nowadays. However,by dealing with the stress wisely,stars still can stay popular and happy.
【分析】高分句型一
What's worse,anxiety over their public appearance robs them of the objective self﹣image,which leads to the feeling of isolation in the long term.
分析:句子里,代指主句anxiety over their public appearance robs them of the objective self﹣image关系词which引导非限制性定语从句leads to the feeling of isolation in the long term.
翻译:更糟糕的是,对公众形象的焦虑夺走了他们客观的自我形象,从而导致长期的孤独感。

While being tracked has been a headache to celebrities for centuries,modern cameras and the Internet make it harder for famous ones to keep their privacy nowadays.
分析:句子里,While引导让步状语从句being tracked has been a headache to celebrities for centuries.
翻译:几个世纪以来,被跟踪一直是名人们头疼的问题,而现代相机和互联网使名人们更加难以保存隐私。
【解答】Living in the public gaze,stars suffer from great pressure.(要点1﹣﹣明星们承受着巨大的压力)What's worse,anxiety over their public appearance robs them of the objective self﹣image,which leads to the feeling of isolation in the long term.【高分句型一】(要点2﹣﹣明星的孤独感)While being tracked has been a headache to celebrities for centuries,modern cameras and the Internet make it harder for famous ones to keep their privacy nowadays.【高分句型二】(要点3﹣﹣现代相机和互联网使如今的名人更加难以保存隐私)However,by dealing with the stress wisely,stars still can stay popular and happy.(要点4﹣﹣明星们需要明智地应对压力)
