The car can be a killer. In the US, 36, 675 people died in traffic accidents in 2014. The year before, 2.3 million people were injured in traffic accidents. And during the past ten years, electronic monitoring(监控) programs have been widely used in order to reduce the number of accidents. It is mainly aimed at drivers who run red lights.
In a study I co-authored with Paul J. Fisher, we examined all police-recorded traffic accidents in three large Texas cities over a 12-year period—hundreds of thousands of accidents. We found they didn’t reduce the total number of car accidents as well as the total number of people injured in accidents.
In a red light camera program, a camera is placed in a location where it can take photos or videos of cars as they pass through the intersections(十字路口). City employees then examine the photos. If a car is in the intersection when the light is red, the driver will be fined(罚款). Evidence clearly shows that camera programs really help reduce the number of cars running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent.
However, cameras can have negative effects on traffic safety. Some drivers who intend to continue to cross the intersection when the light is yellow or red will now try to stop. That means that the number of accidents caused by cars not stopping at a red light will likely decrease. But the number of accidents from stopping at a red light is likely to ascend. In order to avoid being fined, some drivers will try to stop, causing a higher risk of other accidents.
The increased number of traffic accidents at intersections in cities is a serious problem. But our study shows that the camera program in Texas was helpless in improving traffic safety. Therefore, electronic monitoring is not the real solution.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者主要是通过自己的研究说明在十字路口装摄像头并不能有效阻止交通事故的发生,因此需要更好的方式来改善交通安全。
1.The author did the study most probably to know whether ________.
A.red light cameras really worked as expected
B.traffic accidents mainly happened at intersections
C.red light cameras helped drivers obey the traffic rules
D.traffic accidents were mainly caused by running red lights
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的We found they didn’t reduce the total number of car accidents as well as the total number of people injured in accidents.可知,这个是调查的结果,其中they指的是摄像头,因此可推测作者做这个调查是为了知道装更多的摄像头是否真的像所预期的(对于减少交通事故)那样管用。
2.What does the underlined word “ascend” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fall. B.Rise.
C.Change. D.Differ.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据转折词But可知,此句与前一句构成转折关系,再根据本段第一句However, cameras can have negative effects on traffic safety.可推测,该词意为“上升”。
3.What can we infer from the author’s study?
A.Red lights may have negative effects on traffic safety.
B.Better ways should be found to improve traffic safety.
C.More red light cameras should be used at intersections.
D.Traffic accidents at intersections are difficult to avoid.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的But our study shows that the camera program in Texas was helpless in improving traffic safety. Therefore, electronic monitoring is not the real solution.可知,作者通过研究发现,安装摄像头并不是有效改善交通安全的措施,所以可推测,为了改善交通安全,还需要找到更好的办法。
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Red light cameras don’t really make streets safer.
B.Electronic monitoring is widely used at intersections.
C.The number of traffic accidents remains high in the US.
D.Accidents caused by running red lights shouldn’t be ignored.
A 解析:标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,作者主要是通过自己的研究表明,装更多的摄像头并不能有效减少交通事故。

Living abroad is not for everyone.Though it can certainly be a fun and exciting experience,it can also be filled with difficulties.Before you book the plane ticket,it’s a good idea to think carefully about living abroad.
If you’ve lived in the same town for most of your life,a new place full of new food and things can seem like a dream comes true.Your free time will be filled with exploration and sightseeing.You’ll have the opportunity to experience places much older than the United States.However,that feeling will become less and you may find yourself wishing you could just turn on the TV and watch old TV series in English or eat your favorite American meal.
Americans in Europe and South America often find that medical care is both cheaper and easier to get than in the United States.For example,everyone can get a dental(牙齿的) checkup for only around $20 in Turkey.However,you may be disappointed by the lack of familiar medicines.And you may not be able to read the instructions.
The work that the ordinary Americans can do abroad usually pays better than what the ordinary locals do.A full-time teaching job in Ukraine,for example,can help you live a very rich life.However,if you become bored with your position,other job choices are somewhat limited unless you speak the local language as well as English.Moreover,you will probably find that some benefits don’t exist for foreigners.
When you live abroad,opportunities for international travel increase greatly.You may be able to take a day trip across the border from your apartment in Budapest to a concert in Vienna or take a boat to Montevideo for a night out after work in Buenos Aires.However,your money may not allow especially comfortable travel and you may have to stay in inexpensive hotels,cook your own food and take long-distance land transportation.

It’s a book
about friendship, loyalty(忠诚), and teamwork. It will make you laugh and cry, and give you hope.
Co-written by Jessica Kensky and her husband, Patrick Downes, the new picture book, Rescue&Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship, tells the story of a girl named Jessica who is dealing with the loss of her leg. Rescue, her service dog, discovers that he can be a good friend and help Jessica get through hard times.
The book is illustrated(作插图) by Scott Magoon, whose drawings show Rescue working alongside Jessica. “He can pick up the phone to bring it to her if she needs it,” Magoon said. “He can even open doors for her or call for help if she’s in trouble.”
The story does not discuss the bombing attack(炸弹袭击) at the Boston Marathon in 2013, which took place at the finish line, killing three people and injuring hundreds of others. But readers learn in the authors’ note that Downes and Kensky were among those injured. Kensky lost both legs, and Downes lost his left leg.
It took two years to write Rescue&Jessica, and two more to publish(出版) it. “The best part was having a good distraction(分散注意力的事物) from the really hard time I was having during my recovery,” Kensky said.
Downes described how Rescue has helped the couple.“When we’re sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh,” Downes said. “He’s also there to help us celebrate good times. If you have a friend, things might be hard, but you can overcome it together.”
Downes and Kensky and their picture book speak for “Boston Strong”. Downes explained the term:“It brought people together after the bombing and brought out the best in everyone. When people needed it the most, we took care of each other.”

8.What does the underlined word “overcome” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A.Realize. B.Understand.
C.Depend on. D.Get through.
D 解析:词义猜测题。由倒数第二段中的When we’re sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh和He’s also there to help us celebrate good times.可知,主人不开心时,狗逗他们开心,同时也与他们一起庆祝美好时光。因此,Downes认为,身边有一个朋友陪伴,即使处境艰难,也能一起克服困难。
C
When I was a child, my mother would look at me and say,“You have something special, and I know you can achieve whatever you set your mind on. But you should always know what you will be doing next.”
In college, I made a goal to do well in my study and win a scholarship every year. Certainly, I made it. After college, my goal was to work and live in New York City. I got a good job and two years later, I had my own apartment on the Upper East Side.
As I look back, I understand more clearly that setting goals gave me direction and a path to follow. When I was pregnant(怀孕的) with my first child, my new goal was to stay at home and raise my baby by myself. It means that I had to give up a lot of things, such as my job. It was difficult to accept the truth, but I knew what I wanted and nothing was going to stand in my way.
When my second child was seven years old, I wanted to go back to work. However, my friends told me that it was impossible to get a good job after being away from work for 10 years. But then I went to work as a manager in a big company. It wasn’t easy at first, but I liked the challenge.
I worked at that job for seven years and learned so much. But then I felt a new goal coming. I left my job last month and started my own company. I always teach my children the same thing that my mother told me: You can achieve anything you set your mind on. What do you want? Once you know, go to get it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。从小作者的母亲就告诉作者要树立目标,然后朝着目标努力,所以作者最后很成功,拥有了自己的公司。她的故事告诉我们树立目标很重要。
9.Why did the author stop working once?
A.Because she disliked her previous job.
B.Because she met with difficulties in her job.
C.Because she wanted to raise her child herself.

A.They encouraged her greatly.
B.They thought she couldn’t get a good job.
C.They thought she was not serious about that.

Section Ⅳ Grammar & Writing
名词性从句(二)&it作形式主语
名词性从句(二)
一、基础点拨
由what, which, who/whom, whose等连接代词和when, where, why, how等连接副词引导的名词性从句在句子中可以充当主语、宾语、表语或同位语。
1.主语从句
Why the sun in the morning looks bigger than the sun at noon is very interesting.
为什么早晨的太阳看上去比中午的太阳大, 这事很有趣。
When the new road is open to traffic has not been made clear. 这条新公路什么时候开通还不清楚。
主语从句作主语的主谓一致原则:
(1)主语从句作主语, 谓语动词常用单数, 但是若what引导的主语从句表示复数概念, 则用复数。
What we need is time. 我们需要的是时间。
What we need are useful books.
我们所需要的是有用的书籍。
(2)由and连接的两个或两个以上的主语从句作主语, 谓语动词用复数;由两个或两个以上连接词引导的一个主语从句作主语, 谓语动词用单数。
When they will start and where they will go have not been decided yet.
他们何时动身以及要去哪里还没有定下来。
When and where the meeting will begin has not been decided. 会议何时何地举行还没有被定下来。
2.宾语从句
History linguists study how languages evolve over time.
历史语言学家研究语言是如何随着时间的推移而发展的。
I wonder why she refused my invitation.
我想知道她为什么拒绝了我的邀请。
可运用形式宾语it的宾语从句:
(1)动词find, feel, think等后有宾语补足语时。
We think it important that Mary should tell the truth.
我们认为玛丽说出实情是重要的。
(2)有些动词带宾语从句时。
I like it when she sings a song for me.
我喜欢她为我唱歌。
3.表语从句
This is where our problem lies.
这就是我们的问题所在。
The difficulty is how I can help smokers kick their habit.困难是我如何帮助吸烟者戒烟。
4.同位语从句
We haven’t yet settled the question where we are going to spend our summer vacation.
到哪儿去度暑假这个问题我们还没有解决。
对接高考
① The most important result for the user is ________ the product does what is intended.
对用户来说最重要的是产品达到了预期的效果。
that 解析:本句中该词和系动词is构成系表结构,that引导表语从句。
②—Is it true that Mike refused an offer from Yale University yesterday?
—Yeah,but I have no idea ________ he did it;that’s one of his favorite universities.
——迈克昨天拒绝了耶鲁大学的录取,是真的吗?
——是的,但我不知道他为什么这样做;那是他最喜欢的大学之一。
why 解析:考查同位语从句的引导词。idea后接同位语从句, 表示某个想法的具体内容。根据that’s one of his favorite universities(那是他最喜欢的大学之一)可知, “我” 不知道他拒绝耶鲁大学的原因(why)所在。
二、难点突破
1.连接代词和连接副词的选择
连接词
在从句中的功能
例句
连接代词
主语、宾语、表语、定语
What I saw was beyond any verbal description.(作宾语)
我看到的难以用语言描述。
连接副词
状语
Why the company hired him is still unknown.(作状语)
为什么公司雇用他尚不清楚。
2.名词性从句两组引导词的用法区别
(1)what和that的用法区别
引导词
能引导的从句
在从句中的功能
意义
what
主语从句, 表语从句, 宾语从句, 同位语从句
主语、表语、宾语
保留疑问(“什么” )的意义,相当于all that或the thing(s) that
that
主语从句, 表语从句, 宾语从句, 同位语从句
仅起引导作用, 不在从句中作任何成分
无任何实际意义
That he has lost his job is not true.
他丢了工作不是真的。
I believe what (whatever) he says.
我相信他说的(不管他说什么我都相信)。
(2)that, why, because的用法区别
连接词
特征
例句
that
主语是reason时, 强调原因
The reason why he was late was that he missed the early bus. 他迟到的原因是他没赶上早班车。
why
强调结果
That is why you go away.
那就是你要离开的原因。
because
强调原因
That was because I got up too late.
那是因为我起得太晚了。

④Experts believe ____________people can waste less food by shopping only when it is necessary.
专家们认为必要的时候才购物可以减少食物的浪费。
that 解析:考查名词性从句的引导词。动词believe之后为宾语从句, 从句陈述一个事实, 不缺少成分, 故使用that表陈述。
it作形式主语
一、基础点拨
1.it作形式主语的基本用法
当不定式、动名词、从句等用作主语时, 为避免句子头重脚轻, 通常在句首使用形式主语it, 而把真正的主语放在句子末尾。
2.it作形式主语常见的句型
(1)代替不定式短语
It’s not easy to finish the work in two days.
两天之内完成这项工作不容易。
(2)代替动词-ing形式短语
It is no use crying over the spilt milk. 覆水难收。
(3)代替主语从句
主要句型有:
①It+be+形容词+that从句
It is probable that he told her everything.
很可能他把一切都告诉她了。
②It+be+名词词组(no wonder, an honor, a good thing, a pity, no surprise, etc.)+that从句
It’s no surprise that our team should have won the game.
我们没赢这场比赛真意外。
③It+be+过去分词+that从句
It is said that Mr.Green has arrived in Beijing.
据说格林先生已经到了北京。
④It+seems/happens等不及物动词及短语+that从句
It seems that Alice is not coming to the party.
爱丽丝似乎不来参加晚会。
⑤It+doesn’t matter(makes no difference, etc.)+连接代词或连接副词引导的主语从句
It doesn’t matter whether she will come or not.
她来或不来无关紧要。
二、难点突破
1.it作形式主语的主语从句的虚拟语气
(1)在句型 “It+is/was+adj.+主语从句” 中, 如果形容词是important, strange, natural, necessary等, 从句谓语部分要用 “should+动词原形” 形式, should可以省略。
It was necessary that we (should) make everything ready ahead of time.
我们有必要提前把一切都准备好。
(2)在 “It is/was+过去分词+that...” 结构中, 如果动词是require, demand, request等, 从句谓语部分要用 “should+动词原形” 形式, should可以省略。
It is required that nobody (should) smoke here.
要求所有人都不能在这里吸烟。
2.注意区分it作形式主语的主语从句与强调句
强调句句型是 “It is/was+被强调部分+that”, 去掉该句型中的It is/was, that, 句子仍然成立。
It is natural that they should have different views.(主语从句)
他们有不同的观点是很自然的。
It is only lately that he had a family himself.(强调句)
只是在最近他才有了自己的家庭。

⑤But like so many other things, it is only too much stress ____________ does you harm.

如何写调查报告
文体感知
1.题型说明
调查报告是针对某一现象、某一事件或某一问题进行深入细致的调查的写作题, 要求同学们根据调查结果, 针对某种现象进行分析并谈谈自己的看法, 写一份调查报告。
2.策略指导与解题技巧
(1)应该站在读者的角度去思考。
(2)要写明调查的原因、调查过程、调查结果以及你得出的结论。
(3)通常用一般现在时态。若出现具体的时间状语, 如last year, next year, recently等, 则根据具体情况使用适当的时态。
(4)常见的写作方法:
①按调查的先后顺序逐点写;②按事物发展的阶段来写;③按调查对象的特点分门别类来写;④将两种事物进行对比, 以显示其是非、优劣, 找出其差异来写。
叙述数据时要避免过多重复使用百分比, 可以用约数、倍数等来表达。应选用有针对性的数据来说明问题, 切忌面面俱到、一一罗列全部数据。应该对图表信息加以分析、归纳, 选取有代表性的, 如最大值, 最小值, 以及同类信息加以表述, 做到主次分明、准确生动。
3.文章结构
一般说来, 文章开头应先交代调查的时间、对象、问题和主题或目的。
其次, 客观介绍调查的信息。根据不同的调查内容, 选择不同的方法。一般是描述表格中数据所反映的情况, 数据间的主要差异或趋势, 有的还要求谈谈数据所反映出来的问题, 并分析原因。
在进行客观介绍这一部分时, 尽量避免过多使用同一种句式。其次, 要学会从题目中提取信息。
最后, 写出自己的观点或提出解决该问题的方案。

表示约数:most (of), few (of), only, as many/much as
表示比较:as...as, twice the amount of, more than, less than, the same as, similar to, different from...
表示上升:rise, on the rise, go up, climb, rocket, increase, double
表示下降:go down, fall, drop, decline, decrease/reduce, on the decrease...
表示排序:sb./sth.rank the first place, sb./sth.is in the second place
表示对比、转折:on the contrary, in contrast to, compared to/with, while, but, however
5.分析原因的常用词句:
……的原因是…… The reason for...is that...;
The reason why...is that...
6.归纳总结或发表评论的常用词句:
归纳总结:in a word, in short, to conclude, in conclusion, generally speaking, personally, in my opinion, as far as I’m concerned, from my point of view...

Personally, I think it’s necessary to live on campus because we can live, study and play together happily.

The car can be a killer. In the US, 36, 675 people died in traffic accidents in 2014. The year before, 2.3 million people were injured in traffic accidents. And during the past ten years, electronic monitoring(监控) programs have been widely used in order to reduce the number of accidents. It is mainly aimed at drivers who run red lights.
In a study I co-authored with Paul J. Fisher, we examined all police-recorded traffic accidents in three large Texas cities over a 12-year period—hundreds of thousands of accidents. We found they didn’t reduce the total number of car accidents as well as the total number of people injured in accidents.
In a red light camera program, a camera is placed in a location where it can take photos or videos of cars as they pass through the intersections(十字路口). City employees then examine the photos. If a car is in the intersection when the light is red, the driver will be fined(罚款). Evidence clearly shows that camera programs really help reduce the number of cars running red lights. In one study in Virginia, red light cameras reduced the number of total drivers running red lights by 67 percent.
However, cameras can have negative effects on traffic safety. Some drivers who intend to continue to cross the intersection when the light is yellow or red will now try to stop. That means that the number of accidents caused by cars not stopping at a red light will likely decrease. But the number of accidents from stopping at a red light is likely to ascend. In order to avoid being fined, some drivers will try to stop, causing a higher risk of other accidents.
The increased number of traffic accidents at intersections in cities is a serious problem. But our study shows that the camera program in Texas was helpless in improving traffic safety. Therefore, electronic monitoring is not the real solution.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者主要是通过自己的研究说明在十字路口装摄像头并不能有效阻止交通事故的发生,因此需要更好的方式来改善交通安全。
1.The author did the study most probably to know whether ________.
A.red light cameras really worked as expected
B.traffic accidents mainly happened at intersections
C.red light cameras helped drivers obey the traffic rules
D.traffic accidents were mainly caused by running red lights
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的We found they didn’t reduce the total number of car accidents as well as the total number of people injured in accidents.可知,这个是调查的结果,其中they指的是摄像头,因此可推测作者做这个调查是为了知道装更多的摄像头是否真的像所预期的(对于减少交通事故)那样管用。
2.What does the underlined word “ascend” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fall. B.Rise.
C.Change. D.Differ.
B 解析:词义猜测题。根据转折词But可知,此句与前一句构成转折关系,再根据本段第一句However, cameras can have negative effects on traffic safety.可推测,该词意为“上升”。
3.What can we infer from the author’s study?
A.Red lights may have negative effects on traffic safety.
B.Better ways should be found to improve traffic safety.
C.More red light cameras should be used at intersections.
D.Traffic accidents at intersections are difficult to avoid.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段的But our study shows that the camera program in Texas was helpless in improving traffic safety. Therefore, electronic monitoring is not the real solution.可知,作者通过研究发现,安装摄像头并不是有效改善交通安全的措施,所以可推测,为了改善交通安全,还需要找到更好的办法。
4.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Red light cameras don’t really make streets safer.
B.Electronic monitoring is widely used at intersections.
C.The number of traffic accidents remains high in the US.
D.Accidents caused by running red lights shouldn’t be ignored.
A 解析:标题归纳题。根据文章内容可知,作者主要是通过自己的研究表明,装更多的摄像头并不能有效减少交通事故。

“__9__ my brother,” he said.“He rolled off the sidewalk and fell out of his __10__ and I can’t lift him up.”
Sobbing, the boy asked the manager, “Would you please help me get him __11__ into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too __12__ for me.”

Living abroad is not for everyone.Though it can certainly be a fun and exciting experience,it can also be filled with difficulties.Before you book the plane ticket,it’s a good idea to think carefully about living abroad.
If you’ve lived in the same town for most of your life,a new place full of new food and things can seem like a dream comes true.Your free time will be filled with exploration and sightseeing.You’ll have the opportunity to experience places much older than the United States.However,that feeling will become less and you may find yourself wishing you could just turn on the TV and watch old TV series in English or eat your favorite American meal.
Americans in Europe and South America often find that medical care is both cheaper and easier to get than in the United States.For example,everyone can get a dental(牙齿的) checkup for only around $20 in Turkey.However,you may be disappointed by the lack of familiar medicines.And you may not be able to read the instructions.
The work that the ordinary Americans can do abroad usually pays better than what the ordinary locals do.A full-time teaching job in Ukraine,for example,can help you live a very rich life.However,if you become bored with your position,other job choices are somewhat limited unless you speak the local language as well as English.Moreover,you will probably find that some benefits don’t exist for foreigners.
When you live abroad,opportunities for international travel increase greatly.You may be able to take a day trip across the border from your apartment in Budapest to a concert in Vienna or take a boat to Montevideo for a night out after work in Buenos Aires.However,your money may not allow especially comfortable travel and you may have to stay in inexpensive hotels,cook your own food and take long-distance land transportation.

A.Seeing a doctor is quite cheap abroad.
B.It’s much better to live in the United States.

A 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的everyone can get a dental(牙齿的) checkup for only around $20 in Turkey可知,这个例子表明在国外就医很便宜。
3.What does the author think is a disadvantage of Americans’ working abroad?
A.They’re usually paid lower than the locals.
B.They must learn the local language quickly.
C.There are not many suitable positions for them.
D.They face too much competition with other Americans.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的However,if you become bored with your position,other job choices are somewhat limited unless you speak the local language as well as English.可知,在国外如果你不会说当地语言,那么你的职业选择就很少。
4.Who is the text written for?
A.Americans living abroad.
B.Foreigners living in the U.S.
C.Americans traveling abroad.
D.Americans planning to live abroad.

It’s a book
about friendship, loyalty(忠诚), and teamwork. It will make you laugh and cry, and give you hope.
Co-written by Jessica Kensky and her husband, Patrick Downes, the new picture book, Rescue&Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship, tells the story of a girl named Jessica who is dealing with the loss of her leg. Rescue, her service dog, discovers that he can be a good friend and help Jessica get through hard times.
The book is illustrated(作插图) by Scott Magoon, whose drawings show Rescue working alongside Jessica. “He can pick up the phone to bring it to her if she needs it,” Magoon said. “He can even open doors for her or call for help if she’s in trouble.”
The story does not discuss the bombing attack(炸弹袭击) at the Boston Marathon in 2013, which took place at the finish line, killing three people and injuring hundreds of others. But readers learn in the authors’ note that Downes and Kensky were among those injured. Kensky lost both legs, and Downes lost his left leg.
It took two years to write Rescue&Jessica, and two more to publish(出版) it. “The best part was having a good distraction(分散注意力的事物) from the really hard time I was having during my recovery,” Kensky said.
Downes described how Rescue has helped the couple.“When we’re sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh,” Downes said. “He’s also there to help us celebrate good times. If you have a friend, things might be hard, but you can overcome it together.”
Downes and Kensky and their picture book speak for “Boston Strong”. Downes explained the term:“It brought people together after the bombing and brought out the best in everyone. When people needed it the most, we took care of each other.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。作者介绍并简单评论了一本绘本故事书。
5.What happened to Jessica in the book?
A.She lost one of her legs.
B.She saved a service dog.
C.She was injured during an attack.

A.It encourages people to be friendly to dogs.
B.It is based on the authors’ own experience.

7.What did Kensky get from writing the book?
A.She became better prepared for hard times.
B.She felt it took her mind off her hardship.
C.She grew more interested in writing.
D.She became closer to Rescue.
B 解析:细节理解题。由倒数第三段中Kensky所说的话可知,创作并发表该书期间,她正处于康复期,写书分散了她的注意力,帮助她度过了痛苦的康复期。
8.What does the underlined word “overcome” in the last but one paragraph mean?
A.Realize. B.Understand.
C.Depend on. D.Get through.
D 解析:词义猜测题。由倒数第二段中的When we’re sad, he makes funny sounds and makes us laugh和He’s also there to help us celebrate good times.可知,主人不开心时,狗逗他们开心,同时也与他们一起庆祝美好时光。因此,Downes认为,身边有一个朋友陪伴,即使处境艰难,也能一起克服困难。
C
When I was a child, my mother would look at me and say,“You have something special, and I know you can achieve whatever you set your mind on. But you should always know what you will be doing next.”
In college, I made a goal to do well in my study and win a scholarship every year. Certainly, I made it. After college, my goal was to work and live in New York City. I got a good job and two years later, I had my own apartment on the Upper East Side.
As I look back, I understand more clearly that setting goals gave me direction and a path to follow. When I was pregnant(怀孕的) with my first child, my new goal was to stay at home and raise my baby by myself. It means that I had to give up a lot of things, such as my job. It was difficult to accept the truth, but I knew what I wanted and nothing was going to stand in my way.
When my second child was seven years old, I wanted to go back to work. However, my friends told me that it was impossible to get a good job after being away from work for 10 years. But then I went to work as a manager in a big company. It wasn’t easy at first, but I liked the challenge.
I worked at that job for seven years and learned so much. But then I felt a new goal coming. I left my job last month and started my own company. I always teach my children the same thing that my mother told me: You can achieve anything you set your mind on. What do you want? Once you know, go to get it.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。从小作者的母亲就告诉作者要树立目标,然后朝着目标努力,所以作者最后很成功,拥有了自己的公司。她的故事告诉我们树立目标很重要。
9.Why did the author stop working once?
A.Because she disliked her previous job.
B.Because she met with difficulties in her job.
C.Because she wanted to raise her child herself.
D.Because she had no one to look after her child.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第三段的my new goal was to stay at home and raise my baby by myself 可知,作者停止工作的原因是想要自己带孩子。
10.How did the author’s friends react to her decision to go back to work?
A.They encouraged her greatly.
B.They thought she couldn’t get a good job.
C.They thought she was not serious about that.
D.They gave her suggestions on finding a good job.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的However, my friends told me that it was impossible to get a good job after being away from work for 10 years. 可知,当作者想要继续工作时,她朋友们的反应是觉得她找不到好的工作。
11.What does the author most probably want to show by writing this passage?
A.It’s important to set goals in life.
B.We should know our own needs.
C.We should always be full of confidence.
D.It’s important to make some changes in life.

On the other hand, if we carry a mobile phone, we will be followed by calls and messages, which always disturbs our life and work.Worse still, it is very dangerous to answer the phone while driving.
As far as I am concerned, we should manage our mobile phones well.When having a meeting or lesson, we must turn it off so that it may not disturb us.Make sure we do not make any phone call when driving.In this way, mobile phone will be useful to our life.
