A
(2015·南昌调研)
Jan
Fields,our
web
editor,has
always
loved
two
things—writing
and
teaching,so
she’s
done
both
throughout
her
professional
career.After
graduating
from
college
with
a
BA
in
Journalism,she
quickly
found
that
writing
for
newspapers
didn’t
fulfill
her
dreams.So
she
switched
to
magazines
and
soon
began
teaching
magazine
writing.Still,something
didn’t
feel
quite
right.She
wanted
more
challenges
and
creativity.
In
the
1980s,Jan
answered
a
call
to
rewrite
a
year’s
children’s
church
lesson.She
quickly
found
that
writing
stories
and
activities
for
children
offered
all
she
desired.She
dove
in
and
has
never
looked
back.Her
work
has
appeared
in
Ladybug,ShiningStar
and
many
others.
As
Jan
continued
building
credit
in
children’s
magazines,educational
magazines,and
parenting
magazines,she
looked
for
opportunities
to
pass
along
what
she
had
learned
to
other
writers.Soon,teaching
small
community
college
classes
wasn’t
enough—she
wanted
to
help
other
writers
to
find
success
in
creating
material
for
children.
In
2001,she
discovered
the
Institute
of
Children’s
Literature
and
she’s
been
happily
instructing
students
here
ever
since.To
best
meet
her
students’
needs,she’s
constantly
searching
out
new
information.As
a
web
editor,Jan
looks
after
the
needs
of
all
the
visitors
to
this
site.She
reduces
the
Scheduled
Events
discussion
groups
and
the
Writer’s
Retreat
forum,writes
for
the
Writer’s
Support
Room,and
edits
the
Writer’s
Support
Room
and
Writing
Tips
articles.
Jan
is
always
open
to
suggestions
for
new
ways
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
writing
communities.Feel
free
to
email
her.She’s
eager
to
hear
from
you.

college
classes
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“She

or
creative
D.she
likes

better
than

答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句“She
wanted
more
challenges
and
creativity.”可知,她放弃前两份工作是因为她觉得这两份工作没有挑战性和创造性,故选C项。
3.It
can
be

Children’s
Literature
is
　　　.
A.where
Jan
Fields
graduated
B.where
writing

Children’s
Literature教孩子们写作,故选D项。
B
The
other
day,I
was
thinking
about
the
phrase
“It’s
a
dog’s
life”.According
to
my
dictionary,this
means
“life
is
hard
and
unpleasant”,but
that
definition
is
surely
obsolete.A
dog’s
life
these
days,at
least
in
my
house,is
extremely
comfortable.
This
is
by
no
means
the
only
phrase
in
the
English
language
that
suggests
a
dog’s
life
is
a
sad
one.When
we
become
less
successful
than
we
were
in
the
past,we
“go
to
the
dogs”;when
we
do
something
very
badly,we
make
a
“dog’s
breakfast”
of
it;if
we
feel
really
bad,we’re
“as
sick
as
a
dog”.Unattractive
or
unpleasant
people
are
considered
“such
a
dog”!
Cats
do
no
better.They
are
described
as
humourless
and
cruel
rulers
(“While
the
cat’s
away,the
mouse
will
play”)or
as
self-satisfied
(“The
cat
that
got
the
cream”).They
are
also
related
to
unspeakable
horrors.For
example,“There’s
not
enough
room
to
swing
a
cat”.“Cat”
is
a
short
form
of
the
cat-o’-nine-tails(九尾鞭).The
phrase
probably
originated
at
sea,where
unfortunate
sailors
were
beaten
in
tiny
spaces.Despite
all
the
above,“the
cat’s
whiskers(须)”
are
the
most
desirable
whiskers.
How
our
lovely
companions
entered
the
language
in
this
way
remains
a
mystery,but
there
are
some
explanations.“To
let
the
cat
out
of
the
bag”
probably
refers
to
traders
who
tried
to
pass
off(冒充)
an
old
cat
as
a
nice
juicy
little
pig.“It’s
raining
cats
and
dogs”,meanwhile,is
related
to
cats
with
the
mysterious
force
controlling
the
weather
and
dogs
with
the
wind.Other
sources
suggest
that
it
dates
from
the
time
when
inner-city
gutters(排水沟)
overflowed
with
rubbish
and
dead
animals.
Many
of
these
phrases
reflect
a
time
when
cats
and
dogs
were
not
as
cherished
as
they
are
now.My
own
personal
motto
“Love
me,love
my
dog”
dates
back
as
far
as
1485,when
it
was
recorded
in
a
book
called
Early
English
Miscellanies.Although
originally
it
may
imply“If
you
really
love
me,you
will
have
to
accept
my
boils
and
scars(疤痕)”,it
now
means
“If
you
love
me,you
will
get
to
play
with
my
little
doggies,too”.
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章介绍了英语中与狗和猫有关的习语。
4.The
underlined
word
“obsolete”
in
Paragraph
1
probably
means
　　　.
A.wrong　　　　　　　　　　B.out
of
date
C.unclear
D.beyond
recognition
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,“It’s
a
dog’s
life.”一开始意为“生活艰难”,但是如今狗的生活非但不艰难,反而非常舒服。由此可推测,狗的“生活艰难”已经是老皇历了,obsolete意为“过时的”。
5.If
someone
goes
downhill,we
can
say
he
　　　.
A.is
such
a
dog
B.is
as
sick
as
a
dog
C.has
gone
to
the
dogs
D.has
made
a
dog’s
breakfast
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When
we
become
less
successful
than
we
were
in
the
past,we
‘go
to
the
dogs’...”可知答案为C项。
6.In
what
way
is
“the
cat’s
whiskers”
different
from
the
other
phrases
in
Paragraph
3
A.Its
origin
is
unknown.
B.It
is
not
used
anymore.
C.It
presents
a
positive
image
of
cats.
D.Its
meaning
has
changed
over
the
years.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,猫在英语习语中的形象大多是负面的:没有幽默感、残忍、得意忘形甚至带着莫名的恐怖。然而the
cat’s
whiskers却是人们最想要的,表示“了不起的人、东西、主意等”,因此不同于其他习语,猫在这个习语中的形象是正面的。
7.One
of
the
origins
of
“It’s
raining
cats
and
dogs”
is
associated
with
　　　.
A.fairy
tales
B.a
mysterious
event
C.animals’
poor
conditions
D.a
dishonest
businessman
答案:A
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中的第三句可知,能控制天气的猫和能控制风的狗应该都是出现在神话故事中,因此,这个习语的一个起源应该是和神话故事有关。
Ⅱ.七选五
A
few
weeks
ago,I
stopped
at
a
red
light
with
my
teen
daughter
in
the
car.A
beggar
approached
our
car
with
a
sign
encouraging
me
to
“Have
a
nice
day”.Right
away,my
fingers
found
the
car
door’s
lock
button
to
double-check
that
the
car
was
locked.
1.　　
“Just
to
be
safe,honey,”I
told
her.
“What
were
you
afraid
of ”she
wanted
to
know.I
couldn’t
answer.No,I
didn’t
really
think
he
would
jump
in
the
car,hold
a
gun
to
my
head
or
steal
my
bag.I
felt
her
disappointment
that
I
had
judged
someone
as
a
risk
simply
because
he
was
asking
me
for
some
change.
Fast
forward
to
last
week.I
was
carrying
several
bags
in
a
supermarket’s
parking
lot
when
a
beggar
approached
me.“Let
me
help
you,”
he
said.I
jumped
because
he
shocked
me.2.　　　
I
glanced
around
to
see
who
else
was
in
the
parking
lot.I
even
considered
just
running
into
the
supermarket.
But
I
stayed
and
handed
him
some
bags.He
put
them
in
my
car.3.　　　
I
gave
him
some
money.As
I
replayed
the
scene
in
my
head
a
million
times
later,I
wondered
if
the
beggar
figured
his
effort
would
bring
him
personal
gain.
4.　　　
She
was
surprised.
“Personal
gain,Mom Really The
guy
is
homeless.Where’s
your
heart ”
My
heart
has
obviously
gotten
lost
along
the
way,my
child.I’ve
been
told
too
many
stories
where
the
bad
guys
win.5.　　　
But
thank
you,my
dear.Your
words
remind
me
that
I
should
find
it
again.
A.“Why
did
you
just
do
that,Mom ”asked
my
daughter.
B.And
then
he
stood
there
waiting
for
a
reward.
C.I
told
my
daughter
about
it
when
we
got
home.
D.I
stepped
back
a
little
to
make
room
for
him.
E.I
had
no
good
answer
for
my
daughter.
F.So
yes,my
heart
went
missing.
G.“What’s
the
matter,lady ”
答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己两次与乞丐相遇的经历。最后女儿的话让作者明白了自己的麻木和冷漠。她决定找回自己丢失的心。

3.B　解析:根据本空前后的动作可知,这名乞丐帮作者把袋子放上车,“然后在那儿等着作者给些酬劳”,所以作者给了他一些钱。
4.C　解析:根据本空后女儿的反应及下段所说的话可推测,作者回家后把(发生的事及自己的想法)告诉了女儿,女儿对此很惊讶。
5.F　解析:根据本空前后的内容可知,作者因为听到太多坏人取胜的故事,所以变得麻木和冷漠,“找不到自己的心了”。但是女儿的一番话让作者决定重新找回自己的心。
