From self-driving cars to carebots (care＋robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the U．S. technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies，” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
【解题导语】 本文说的是随着现在生活节奏的加快，人们越来越忙碌，所以压力也就越来越大。本文阐述了应对压力的正确态度。

B．Stress is always harmful to people’s health.
C．It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D．Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.

A ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence(坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.
That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage(车库) and a figure(身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch(直觉)．Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance(救护车) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!

When you start a new job, you must make sure you are a good match for the job. No matter what your experience is, any new job can be overwhelming when you begin. If you are coming back to work after a time of unemployment, it will take some time to get used to the change and adjustment. The points below will help you to be successful in your job.
Be prepared to improve (sometimes from your mistake)
Admit and learn from mistakes and accept suggestions for improvement. This can require some courage and strength, but it will make your working life a whole lot easier!
Set goals
Having daily and long-term goals helps you to achieve. If you have used goal-setting while looking for work, don’t stop. Put it in practice again while at work. Make it also your goal to work well with others and to maintain a good relationship with your boss and co-workers.
Take responsibility
Do it now—don’t put things off. Don’t blame others when things go wrong. Be prompt (迅速的) in getting work finished, as this will make you feel good and it makes an employer happy too!
Overcome your problems and hurts (there are no gains without pains)
Accept problems and hurts as part of life. The world will not end just because there are some problems that are coming up. Take problems as a challenge, which will be your teacher to learn new skills from. Ask questions or research answers if you’re not sure so as not to proceed in error.
Befriend good men and women
Surround yourself with people that will give you good support and advice. My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. Be sensitive to others and do not gossip(散布谣言)．
Do more than expected
Go for excellence! Work hard—go the extra mile. It is a good investment and you will see a return. Volunteer for committees or projects to become noticed and recognized.

When I was 8 years old, my best friend gave me a copy of this book and told me that I might find it interesting.

【解题导语】 有一本书对作者影响很大，作者认为这本书是塑造自己性格最主要的因素之一。
1．was absorbed 解析： 考查谓语动词时态、语态。absorb与句子主语I为被动关系。be absorbed in专心于，全神贯注于；文章为一般过去时，故填was absorbed。
2．it 解析： 考查代词。it在此处为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to finish a book ...，故填it。
3．quickly 解析： 考查副词。所填词修饰动词finish，因此需要用副词，故填quickly。
4．of 解析： 考查介词。此处为“of＋抽象名词”相当于形容词的用法，of great benefit 表示“非常有益”，故填of。
5．supporting 解析： 考查非谓语动词。介词without后接动名词作宾语，故填supporting。
6．introduced 解析： 考查非谓语动词。所填词作后置定语，principle与introduce之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式，故填introduced。
7．behavior 解析： 考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词，只能用来修饰名词，因此应该将behave变为名词，故填behavior。
8．more 解析： 考查比较级。根据上下文提示，此处popular应用比较级形式，故填more。
9．than 解析： 考查连词。空格前有提示词better，than before表示“比以前更……”，故填than。
10．greatest 解析： 考查形容词。one of之后名词用形容词最高级修饰，表示“最……之一”，故填greatest。

From self-driving cars to carebots (care＋robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁) to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to change businesses.
“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces，” said Peter Andrew, Director of Workplace Strategy for CBRE Asia-Pacific. A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.
The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the U．S. technology already destroys more jobs than it creates. But the report states, “Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much, according to the research. “The growth of companies that have the speed and technological know-how will directly challenge big companies，” it states.
A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create，” according to Aaron Smith, the report’s co-author.
“Technology will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem likely to be created. Although there have always been unemployed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change，” Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin told researchers.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “fight” or “flight” and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

A ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence(坚持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.
That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage(车库) and a figure(身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.
Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch(直觉)．Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.
Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance(救护车) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!

When you start a new job, you must make sure you are a good match for the job. No matter what your experience is, any new job can be overwhelming when you begin. If you are coming back to work after a time of unemployment, it will take some time to get used to the change and adjustment. The points below will help you to be successful in your job.
Be prepared to improve (sometimes from your mistake)
Admit and learn from mistakes and accept suggestions for improvement. This can require some courage and strength, but it will make your working life a whole lot easier!
Set goals
Having daily and long-term goals helps you to achieve. If you have used goal-setting while looking for work, don’t stop. Put it in practice again while at work. Make it also your goal to work well with others and to maintain a good relationship with your boss and co-workers.
Take responsibility
Do it now—don’t put things off. Don’t blame others when things go wrong. Be prompt (迅速的) in getting work finished, as this will make you feel good and it makes an employer happy too!
Overcome your problems and hurts (there are no gains without pains)
Accept problems and hurts as part of life. The world will not end just because there are some problems that are coming up. Take problems as a challenge, which will be your teacher to learn new skills from. Ask questions or research answers if you’re not sure so as not to proceed in error.
Befriend good men and women
Surround yourself with people that will give you good support and advice. My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me. Be sensitive to others and do not gossip(散布谣言)．
Do more than expected
Go for excellence! Work hard—go the extra mile. It is a good investment and you will see a return. Volunteer for committees or projects to become noticed and recognized.

When I was 8 years old, my best friend gave me a copy of this book and told me that I might find it interesting.

【解题导语】 有一本书对作者影响很大，作者认为这本书是塑造自己性格最主要的因素之一。
1．was absorbed 解析： 考查谓语动词时态、语态。absorb与句子主语I为被动关系。be absorbed in专心于，全神贯注于；文章为一般过去时，故填was absorbed。
2．it 解析： 考查代词。it在此处为形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式短语to finish a book ...，故填it。
3．quickly 解析： 考查副词。所填词修饰动词finish，因此需要用副词，故填quickly。
4．of 解析： 考查介词。此处为“of＋抽象名词”相当于形容词的用法，of great benefit 表示“非常有益”，故填of。
5．supporting 解析： 考查非谓语动词。介词without后接动名词作宾语，故填supporting。
6．introduced 解析： 考查非谓语动词。所填词作后置定语，principle与introduce之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词形式，故填introduced。
7．behavior 解析： 考查名词。my是形容词性物主代词，只能用来修饰名词，因此应该将behave变为名词，故填behavior。
8．more 解析： 考查比较级。根据上下文提示，此处popular应用比较级形式，故填more。
9．than 解析： 考查连词。空格前有提示词better，than before表示“比以前更……”，故填than。
10．greatest 解析： 考查形容词。one of之后名词用形容词最高级修饰，表示“最……之一”，故填greatest。

“Only in a few years you’ll be an adult！” This statement is usually issued by adults with a wink(眨眼) at my mother. I usually take “the wink” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right？” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票) and work at Walmart.
This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew out of military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.
My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her. Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.
My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different from the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen Vogue feature(专栏) and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.
I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one? Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry. So in conclusion, my point is this: Being a grown-up is less about your age, but more about what you do with your life.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对于18岁成人这一观点的看法及想法，作者认为，是不是成年人并非在于年龄大不大于18岁，而是看你在生活中过着怎样的生活。
1．What does the author think of the age of 18?
A．She can be responsible for herself.
B．It is when she still doesn’t know things.
C．It is legal for her to do online business.
D．She still can’t do things like adults.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第一段的“I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do.”可知，虽然作者已经到了18岁，但她觉得这只是一个数字，自己的行为并不能像成年人那样。故选D。
2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Her growing up.
B．Dakota’s departure.
C．Her defending the country.
D．Dakota’s renting a movie.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第二段的“I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.”可知，it指的是前面的growing up。故选A。
3．Why did the author mention Madeline?
A．To explain the course of applying for a loan.
B．To admire Madeline’s growing up.
C．To stress the importance of a credit card.
D．To praise Madeline for her hard work.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第三段的“Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her. Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.”可知，作者十分羡慕Madeline，能够掌握自己的生活，而作者却不可以。故选B。
4．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．I Will Be 18 in Two Years
B．I Can’t Learn Like My Friends
C．Will “18” Make You an Adult?
D．I Don’t Want to Grow up yet
C 解析：标题归纳题。本文通篇讲述的是作者对于成人的看法，而且作者在文章最后明确表明了自己的观点，是不是成年人并非在于年龄大不大于18岁，而是看你在生活中过着怎样的生活。故选C。

Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a(n) __1__ man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson，” said Mr. Smith，“this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to __2__ that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry—but you’ll have to __3__．” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the __4__ to keep my __5__ at Riverside School.”
“What’s that！”said the boss.“Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s a(n) __6__ school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir.But he likes it so much! He’s a star trackman and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him __7__ there.”
The boss sat perfectly __8__ for a long time—a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll __9__a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more __10__. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
Watson got out with __11__ in his face. Then the boss __12__ a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s __13__ letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again. The letter __14__：
I can’t say the boys here are any __15__ than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere __16__ you’re a cripple(跛子). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good __17__ department here. And in my class there’s one boy who is really __18__. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He __19__ them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best __20__ I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
Your son，
Herbie
【解题导语】 老板要关闭Watson所在的部门，也就是让Watson离开公司。Watson恳求老板留下他，说明了必须为儿子支付高昂学费的理由。老板听他说完后给了Watson一个薪水更高的职位，Watson很是吃惊。在Watson离开后，老板拿出了儿子写给他的最后一封信。上文的故事也就得到了最好的解释……
1．A.impolite B．hospitable
C．modest D．hard
D 解析：根据下文“He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.”可知，老板是一个很苛刻的人。hard“苛刻的，严厉的”。
2．A.drop B．check
C．punish D．lose
A 解析：根据上文“this past year your department hasn’t earned money”和前文提到的老板的苛刻可知答案。drop＝close/give up“关闭，放弃”。
3．A.join B．present
C．go D．attend
C 解析：根据上文信息，老板很严厉，此时要关闭这个部门，所以Watson就不得不离开这个公司。
4．A.favour B．chance
C．job D．promise
C 解析：根据上文信息，老板要解雇Watson，再结合下文“I didn’t know you had a boy there.”可知，Watson想保住这份工作供他儿子上学。
5．A.star B．champ
C．son D．daughter
C 解析：参考上一题的解析。
6．A.suitable B．expensive
C．beautiful D．average
B 解析：根据史密斯惊讶的口气和下文他自己的儿子也在这所学校可知，该校费用不菲。expensive“昂贵的”。
7．A.Watson B．Champ

B 解析：根据最后的那封信中的“He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ.”可知答案。
8．A.still B．eager

A 解析：根据下文的“suddenly，he said”可知，这里应该是指“老板静静地坐在那儿很长时间”。still“静止的，不动的”。
9．A.take over B．go over

A 解析：根据后面“a new job in another department”和“You’re here for life.”可知答案。take over“接管，接手”；故选A项。
10．A.time B．attention
C．pay D．energy
C 解析：联系下文可知，史密斯之所以一反常态留用了Watson是因为他儿子的那封信。儿子在信中提到“Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won’t even know about.”这一遗愿，由此史密斯为他安排了一个薪水较高的职位。
11．A.smile B．care
C．pleasure D．surprise
D 解析：根据文章第一段信息可知，史密斯一向严厉，这一次对Watson却网开一面，Watson自然感到惊异。

C 解析：信上“写着”用read或said。
15．A.crueller B．nicer
C．poorer D．stronger

19．A.forced B．persuaded
C．suggested D．made
D 解析：他不让同学们乱扔我的书。make sb. do “使某人做某事”；force/persuade sb. to do sth.“迫使/说服某人做某事”；suggest后面不能直接跟宾语和宾语补足语。
20．A.athlete B．star
C．friend D．student
C 解析：根据信的内容尤其是最后一句话可知，Herbie已经把那个男孩当成他最好的朋友了。

A
America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they welcome us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous__with__our__time．Sometimes，we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite friends to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
【解题导语】 美国是一个流动的社会。美国人之间的友谊可以接近真实，然而如果情况变化很快消失。任何一方都不觉得受伤害。双方可能在一年或两年交换圣诞问候，也许通信一阵子之后就没有了。如果相同的两个人有再次见面的机会，甚至几年后，他们会继续他们的友谊。这可能对中国人来说是非常难理解，因为我们之间的友谊发展得慢但后来可能成为终身的感情。
1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship.”可知相同的两个人有机会再见面，甚至数年后，他们还会继续他们的友谊，所以选D。
2．When we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ________．
A．warmly welcomed at the airport
B．offered a ride to his home
C．treated hospitably at his home
D．treated to dinner in a restaurant
C 解析：细节理解题，从最后两段可知，当我们去美国拜访我们的朋友时，我们很有可能在他家受到款待，所以选C。
3．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________．
A．strict with time
B．serious with time
C．careful with time
D．willing to spend time
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据语境“generous with our time”的意思是我们乐意花费我们的时间，所以选D。
4．A suitable title for this passage would probably be “__________”．
A．Friendships Between Chinese
B．Friendships Between Americans
C．Americans’ Hospitality
D．Americans’ and Chinese’s Views of Friendships
D 解析：标题归纳题。本文在谈论中国和美国对友谊的不同观点，所以选D。
B
I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！”Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me，“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.
【解题导语】 作者在本文中介绍自己和舍友的性格截然不同，产生过摩擦和矛盾。但是后来两个人互相包容对方，愉快相处了很长时间。
5．What made Kate so angry one evening?
A．She couldn’t find her books.
B．She heard the author shouting loud.
C．She got the news that her grandma was ill.
D．She saw the author’s shoes beneath her bed.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第二段的Soon, I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！”可知，Kate生气的原因是看到作者的鞋子在自己的床底下。
6．The author tidied up the room most probably because________．
A．she was scared by Kate’s anger
B．she hated herself for being so messy
C．she wanted to show her care
D．she was asked by Kate to do so
C 解析：推理判断题。根据文中第三段的“All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.”以及下一段的描述可知，此处作者是为了表示对舍友的同情，而主动地收拾屋子。
7．How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By showing differences.
C．By describing a process.
D．By following time order.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据文中的while, but等连词，可知，此处用来对比两个人的做法，说明两个人的差异。故选B项。
8．What might be the best title for the story?
A．My Friend Kate
B．Hard Work Pays Off
C．How to Be Organized
D．Learning to Be Roommates
D 解析：标题归纳题。全文介绍了作者和舍友从水火不相容，到和平友好地相处的过程。说明了D项为最佳答案。
七选五

Some parents start their children on a musical instrument as early as 3 years of age. This is great if the child is having a good time. It goes without saying that you should not have to drag your child to lessons. You can be sure that nothing productive will come out of it.5.________．

【解题导语】 本文讲述了学习乐器对孩子发展的诸多好处，但是，如果太早让孩子学习，不尊重孩子的意愿，也许会让孩子终身厌恶音乐。
1．G 解析：下文阐述另一方面，如果他或她对艺术感兴趣，会让孩子更好地全面发展，因此推断G项“一方面，可以鼓励孩子发挥创造力和自然爱好”符合语境。on the one hand...，on the other hand...“一方面……，另一方面……”用于提出两个方面的看法。故选G。
2．F 解析：下文阐述玩乐器的优点。如果孩子对音乐感兴趣，可以避免成为问题少年，可以取得更好的成绩，更容易与人沟通，建立自信心和自尊。因此推断空格处选F项“教孩子玩乐器有许多优点”符合语境。故选F。
3．B 解析：上文阐述孩子学习音乐的另一个优点，在以后的日子里会变得很明显。因此推断选B项“那就是许多人选择音乐作为事业的原因”，that指代上文提到的音乐的另一个优点。故选B。
4．E 解析：上文阐述你可以让你的孩子孩提时在家里就开始接触音乐。因此推断选E项“你可播放一首歌曲或旋律作背景音乐”符合语境。故选E。
5．C 解析：上文阐述如果孩子不喜欢乐器，你就不应该强迫孩子去学乐器，因为这样不会有什么建设性的结果，因此推断C项“你的孩子将终身厌恶音乐”符合语境。故选C。

“Only in a few years you’ll be an adult！” This statement is usually issued by adults with a wink(眨眼) at my mother. I usually take “the wink” to mean “or at least that’s what she thinks, right？” It’s true that in two years I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do. It doesn’t make responsibilities easier. It just makes it legal for you to enter online sweepstakes(彩票) and work at Walmart.
This thought all started back in July when my friend, Dakota, officially flew out of military basic training in Oklahoma. He’s 17. Not an adult by the legal definition, but making a very adult decision. He can’t rent a movie from most places, but he can defend our country. I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.
My best friend Madeline is now studying psychology in London. She’s 18. She has been working pretty hard to get the perfect grades. Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her. Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.
My other friends are growing up around me, making decisions that will affect the rest of their lives. Where do I fit in? My life is so different from the standard; it’s hard to compare. I’m home-schooled. I’ve been a fashion blogger since I was 13, an occupation that has definitely taught me a lot first-hand about the outside world. Earlier this year, I got my first Teen Vogue feature(专栏) and worked with the Disney Channel. But if you add that up, it doesn’t equal an adult. It equals an accomplished teenager.
I made myself a list of “Things to Learn Before I Grow Up”. Number one? Figure out the whole significant thing. Maybe learning to cook something rather than buying ready-made food from the supermarket. But it’s also important for me to enjoy being young. I like having sandwiches my mom made for me, and getting to just be silly sometimes without worry. So in conclusion, my point is this: Being a grown-up is less about your age, but more about what you do with your life.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者对于18岁成人这一观点的看法及想法，作者认为，是不是成年人并非在于年龄大不大于18岁，而是看你在生活中过着怎样的生活。
1．What does the author think of the age of 18?
A．She can be responsible for herself.
B．It is when she still doesn’t know things.
C．It is legal for her to do online business.
D．She still can’t do things like adults.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第一段的“I’ll be 18, and that will make me legally an adult. But it’s also just a number. It doesn’t come with a fantastic moment when you know all the adults are supposed to know what to do.”可知，虽然作者已经到了18岁，但她觉得这只是一个数字，自己的行为并不能像成年人那样。故选D。
2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Her growing up.
B．Dakota’s departure.
C．Her defending the country.
D．Dakota’s renting a movie.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第二段的“I didn’t realize how much his actual departure would affect me and the way I viewed growing up and when it actually starts.”可知，it指的是前面的growing up。故选A。
3．Why did the author mention Madeline?
A．To explain the course of applying for a loan.
B．To admire Madeline’s growing up.
C．To stress the importance of a credit card.
D．To praise Madeline for her hard work.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文中第三段的“Now, she’s living on her own, doing little things that make her, in my eyes, an adult, and is in complete control of her personal life. I have a basic idea of how a loan works, and apply for one like her. Forget it. I haven’t even had a credit card until now.”可知，作者十分羡慕Madeline，能够掌握自己的生活，而作者却不可以。故选B。
4．What might be the best title for the passage?
A．I Will Be 18 in Two Years
B．I Can’t Learn Like My Friends
C．Will “18” Make You an Adult?
D．I Don’t Want to Grow up yet
C 解析：标题归纳题。本文通篇讲述的是作者对于成人的看法，而且作者在文章最后明确表明了自己的观点，是不是成年人并非在于年龄大不大于18岁，而是看你在生活中过着怎样的生活。故选C。
完形填空
Watson entered Mr. Smith’s office. The boss was a(n) __1__ man. He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.
“Watson，” said Mr. Smith，“this past year your department hasn’t earned money. We’re going to __2__ that department. It’s finished. I’m sorry—but you’ll have to __3__．” “But, sir—if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the __4__ to keep my __5__ at Riverside School.”
“What’s that！”said the boss.“Riverside! I didn’t know you had a boy there. That’s a(n) __6__ school for a man with your salary.”
“I know, sir.But he likes it so much! He’s a star trackman and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him __7__ there.”
The boss sat perfectly __8__ for a long time—a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “We’ve got to close your department, Watson. But you’ll __9__a new job in another department. It means longer hours—maybe more __10__. Now get out. You’re here for life.”
Watson got out with __11__ in his face. Then the boss __12__ a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbie’s __13__ letter from Riverside School—written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again. The letter __14__：
I can’t say the boys here are any __15__ than the others were. I guess it’s the same everywhere __16__ you’re a cripple(跛子). But don’t worry about me, Dad. They’ve got a good __17__ department here. And in my class there’s one boy who is really __18__. He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He __19__ them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best __20__ I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ. Something big—that he won’t even know about.
Your son，
Herbie
【解题导语】 老板要关闭Watson所在的部门，也就是让Watson离开公司。Watson恳求老板留下他，说明了必须为儿子支付高昂学费的理由。老板听他说完后给了Watson一个薪水更高的职位，Watson很是吃惊。在Watson离开后，老板拿出了儿子写给他的最后一封信。上文的故事也就得到了最好的解释……
1．A.impolite B．hospitable
C．modest D．hard
D 解析：根据下文“He fired people who didn’t do well without giving them a second chance.”可知，老板是一个很苛刻的人。hard“苛刻的，严厉的”。
2．A.drop B．check
C．punish D．lose
A 解析：根据上文“this past year your department hasn’t earned money”和前文提到的老板的苛刻可知答案。drop＝close/give up“关闭，放弃”。
3．A.join B．present
C．go D．attend
C 解析：根据上文信息，老板很严厉，此时要关闭这个部门，所以Watson就不得不离开这个公司。
4．A.favour B．chance
C．job D．promise
C 解析：根据上文信息，老板要解雇Watson，再结合下文“I didn’t know you had a boy there.”可知，Watson想保住这份工作供他儿子上学。
5．A.star B．champ
C．son D．daughter
C 解析：参考上一题的解析。
6．A.suitable B．expensive
C．beautiful D．average
B 解析：根据史密斯惊讶的口气和下文他自己的儿子也在这所学校可知，该校费用不菲。expensive“昂贵的”。
7．A.Watson B．Champ
C．Hero D．Herbie
B 解析：根据最后的那封信中的“He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ.”可知答案。
8．A.still B．eager
C．nervous D．anxious
A 解析：根据下文的“suddenly，he said”可知，这里应该是指“老板静静地坐在那儿很长时间”。still“静止的，不动的”。
9．A.take over B．go over
C．think over D．come over
A 解析：根据后面“a new job in another department”和“You’re here for life.”可知答案。take over“接管，接手”；故选A项。
10．A.time B．attention
C．pay D．energy
C 解析：联系下文可知，史密斯之所以一反常态留用了Watson是因为他儿子的那封信。儿子在信中提到“Dad，when I grow up，I want to do something for Champ.Something big—that he won’t even know about.”这一遗愿，由此史密斯为他安排了一个薪水较高的职位。
11．A.smile B．care
C．pleasure D．surprise
D 解析：根据文章第一段信息可知，史密斯一向严厉，这一次对Watson却网开一面，Watson自然感到惊异。
12．A.received B．opened
C．took D．read
C 解析：老板从顶层抽屉里拿出一封信。
13．A.last B．longest
C．business D．reply
A 解析：根据后面的“... written a few days before he died”推断这是老板的儿子Herbie的最后一封信。
14．A.wrote B．spoke
C．said D．printed
C 解析：信上“写着”用read或said。
15．A.crueller B．nicer
C．poorer D．stronger
B 解析：根据下文的“I guess it’s the same everywhere...”可知，此处意思是：这里的孩子比其他地方的孩子好不到哪里去。
16．A.though B．when
C．unless D．after
B 解析：根据下文“But don’t worry about me”可知Herbie是一个残疾的孩子，此处表示Herbie认为一个跛子在哪儿受到的待遇都一样。
17．A.medicine B．chemistry
C．physics D．trade
B 解析：根据下文中“in my class there’s one boy...and just tops in chemistry”可知答案。
18．A.friendly B．helpful
C．great D．cautious
C 解析：根据下文的“He’s a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry.”以及男孩对自己的帮助可知Herbie对这个男孩崇拜之至。
19．A.forced B．persuaded
C．suggested D．made
D 解析：他不让同学们乱扔我的书。make sb. do “使某人做某事”；force/persuade sb. to do sth.“迫使/说服某人做某事”；suggest后面不能直接跟宾语和宾语补足语。
20．A.athlete B．star
C．friend D．student
C 解析：根据信的内容尤其是最后一句话可知，Herbie已经把那个男孩当成他最好的朋友了。

A
America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real，yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they welcome us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous__with__our__time．Sometimes，we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite friends to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
【解题导语】 美国是一个流动的社会。美国人之间的友谊可以接近真实，然而如果情况变化很快消失。任何一方都不觉得受伤害。双方可能在一年或两年交换圣诞问候，也许通信一阵子之后就没有了。如果相同的两个人有再次见面的机会，甚至几年后，他们会继续他们的友谊。这可能对中国人来说是非常难理解，因为我们之间的友谊发展得慢但后来可能成为终身的感情。
1．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“If the same two people meet again by chance，even years later，they pick up the friendship.”可知相同的两个人有机会再见面，甚至数年后，他们还会继续他们的友谊，所以选D。
2．When we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ________．
A．warmly welcomed at the airport
B．offered a ride to his home
C．treated hospitably at his home
D．treated to dinner in a restaurant
C 解析：细节理解题，从最后两段可知，当我们去美国拜访我们的朋友时，我们很有可能在他家受到款待，所以选C。
3．The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean ________．
A．strict with time
B．serious with time
C．careful with time
D．willing to spend time
D 解析：词义猜测题。根据语境“generous with our time”的意思是我们乐意花费我们的时间，所以选D。
4．A suitable title for this passage would probably be “__________”．
A．Friendships Between Chinese
B．Friendships Between Americans
C．Americans’ Hospitality
D．Americans’ and Chinese’s Views of Friendships
D 解析：标题归纳题。本文在谈论中国和美国对友谊的不同观点，所以选D。

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming，“Take your shoes away! Why under my bed！”Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me，“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

A
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say，“Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles.“How far away is the post office？”you ask.“Oh，”they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here.”You say，“Yes, but how many miles away is it？”They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.”People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【解题导语】 本文介绍了在世界某些国家对待问路的游客的不同回答方式，说明了了解各地文化的重要性。
1．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually ________．
A．describe the place carefully
B．refer to recognizable buildings and places
C．show him a map of the place
D．tell him the names of the streets
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”可知，日本人会用一些建筑物的名称来给行人指路。
2．Which is the place where people measure distance in time?
A．New York. B．Kansas.
C．Los Angeles. D．Iowa.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles.可知，在洛杉矶，人们用时间来衡量距离，故选C项。
3．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________．
A．in order to save time
B．as a test
C．for fun
D．so as to be polite
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.可知，人们这样做是出于礼貌。
4．What can we infer from the text?
A．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
B．People have similar understanding of politeness.
C．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
C 解析：推理判断题。文章第一句话引出话题，下文介绍了不同国家中给问路人指路的不同方式，还有的国家为了礼貌，可能会指错道路，说明了了解不同国家文化差异是很重要的，故选C项。
B
Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient fortification(筑城) in Liqian，a remote town in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area，which was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures.
They were even more astonished to find Western-looking people with green, deep-set eyes，long hooked noses and blond hair.
Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county，they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans’ bull-fighting dance.
DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of Caucasian origin，leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.
“The ‘foreign’origin of the Yongchang villagers，as proven by the DNA tests，does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.”
Xie Xiaodong，a geneticist from Lanzhou University，also sounded a skeptical note.
“Even if they are descendants of Romans，it doesn’t mean they are necessarily from that Roman army，” Xie said.
Their mysterious identity has brought wealth and fame to some of the villagers.
Cai Junnian has yellow wavy hair，a hooked nose and green eyes.A DNA test in 2005 confirmed he is of 56 percent European origin.It made him famous almost overnight.
Reporters，filmmakers，historians and geneticists from around the world pursued him.A Beijing film producer will spend millions to turn the villagers’ story into a film.
Lanzhou University’s new research body，set up this week by Chinese and Italian anthropologists，is a platform for experts to further research the subject but the research work will certainly be complicated.
The center will help Chinese learn Italian language and culture，he said.“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”
【解题导语】 在甘肃省的一个小镇，人们发现了古罗马建筑工事遗址，科学家们根据对村民的DNA血样检测，推断村民是古罗马的后裔。这些发现给这个村带来了财富和名气。科学家们将对此进行进一步的揭秘活动。
5．Scientists take DNA tests in order to ________．
A．explain why villagers have the Western-looking
B．explain why ancient Roman army disappeared
C．explain why villagers are infected with AIDS
D．explain why villagers married at an early age
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推断，科学家们采集血样进行DNA检测是为了解释这些村民为什么具有西方人的面部特征。选A。
6．Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Romans like bull-fighting dance.
B．The villagers are of ancient Roman origin.
C．The research work will be very complicated.
D．Cai Junnian’s European origin makes him famous overnight.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans’ bull-fighting dance”可知A项正确；根据倒数第二段可知C项正确；根据倒数第四段最后一句可知D项正确；根据第五段可知B项错误。
7．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unraveling” in the last paragraph?
A．Keeping. B．Discovering.
C．Storing. D．Destroying.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据该句“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”可推测句意为：增进交流会对揭开此谜团有很大的帮助。故该词意为“解开，弄清”，选B。
8．Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?
A．Chinese Villagers Descended from Roman Soldiers
B．Unforgettable and Fierce Ancient Roman War
C．Similarities Between Chinese and Western People
D．An Introduction to Roman Defense Structures
A 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，科学家们认为，中国甘肃省境内骊靬村居民很可能是古罗马失落军团的后裔。这也是文章叙述的主要内容，选A。

Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn，but you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability, remember that you are not slow.
Learning disabilities can be genetic(遗传的；基因的)．That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Educators now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works—and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.
“Dyslexia” is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have “dyscalculia”．Other kids may have “language disorders”，which means they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.
It can be confusing，though.How do we tell if a student has a learning disability? Reading，doing math，and writing letters may be difficult for lots of kids at first.But when those early troubles don’t fade away(逐渐消失) after they have grown up，and it’s really difficult for them to make any progress，it’s possible the kid has a learning disability.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the fact is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning psychologist has found out which one you’re facing，you’re on the right route.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work，you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning.It may take a lot of effort every day.That can be a challenge，but you can do it.Soon，you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school!

Section Ⅲ Lesson 2 & Lesson 3
The Road to Success
As a child，Wang Junyan never dreamed of① becoming a famous person on TV.“I never thought about going on TV because my family didn’t even have one until I was in junior② high school③！” she explained. Now Wang Junyan is the presenter for Universe④ TV’s news programmes. I asked her how she had achieved⑤ success and she told me that being curious, working hard, and believing in⑥what was true made her the success she is today⑦.
“It was my mother who taught me to be curious⑧. She had a great love of⑨ everything in the universe and she taught me to be interested in mankind⑩ and nature, everything from plants to insects，”Junyan told me.“We would look in old nests? to find birds’ feathers? and we would even turn over? stones to look at the little creatures there. I loved doing that，”remembered Junyan. She said，“My mother was a strong character. Although there were lots of difficulties to overcome?， she never let her problems defeat her. She worked extremely hard to support me through school and during my time at Fudan University in Shanghai. Her attitude towards? life will never stop influencing my thoughts and actions.”

成功之路
小时候，王君燕从未想过能成为一位著名的电视工作者。她解释说，“我从没想过从事电视工作，因为直到我上初中的时候家里才有了一台电视机！”而现在王君燕成了环球电视新栏目的主持人。我问她是怎样获得成功的，她告诉我，保持好奇心、努力工作和忠于事实的原则使她获得今日的成功。
君燕告诉我说，“是妈妈教会我要有好奇心。她热爱宇宙中的任何事物，教我对人类和自然，从植物到昆虫的任何事物感兴趣。”君燕回忆说，“我们会在旧鸟巢里寻找鸟的羽毛，甚至把石头翻起来观察那里的小虫子。我喜欢那样做。”她还说：“妈妈是个很坚强的人。虽然生活中有许多困难，但她从不让困难打败自己。她拼命工作供我上学直到我从上海复旦大学毕业。她对待生活的态度一直影响着我的思想和行动。”
After graduating from university，Wang Junyan became a reporter for a local newspaper. She said she chose to be a journalist because it is important that? people grasp? what is going on around them?. I asked her if there was any special moment that made her realise this? and she replied that it was after she was asked to inspect? an illegal( business. Her report helped the people who had been affected( and it also helped the government inspect the company and catch the guilty people.“That is when I realised the importance of being a journalist(，” said Junyan.

大学毕业以后，王君燕成为当地一家报社的记者。她说选择做记者是因为人们了解周围发生的事是很重要的。我问她有没有什么特别的时刻使她认识到这一点，她回答说是在被要求去调查一桩非法交易之后。她的报道不仅帮助了那些受害者，还协助了政府调查那家公司并且抓住了罪犯。君燕说，“就是在那时我意识到了做新闻记者的重要性。”
“Writing that report wasn’t easy, but I realised that people needed to know and so I didn’t give up(，”Junyan told me.This paid off because she won an award for the report.“I discovered then that as long as I am committed( and never give up( I will be able to produce high quality reports.”That’s exactly what Wang Junyan has been doing as the face of Universe TV(.
I asked Junyan what she liked most about her job( and she said that although there wasn’t much glory( in a reporter’s existence(, she found it interesting and challenging(.“I meet a lot of people and go to many different places. I’m never bored with( this job！”She added that as a reporter she needed many different skills and was constantly( challenged to learn new things. Finally, I asked her if after many years she still felt curious. Smiling brightly(, she told me，“Nothing that I learned from my mother( has ever left me.Today when I’m looking for stories, I still feel like I’m turning over stones to see what might be hiding beneath(！”

君燕告诉我说，“写出那篇报道并不容易，但是我意识到人们需要知道真相，所以我没有放弃。”这些努力得到了回报，她因为那篇报道获了奖。“那时我发现只要坚持不懈，永不放弃，我就能写出高质量的报道。”这也正是王君燕成为环球电视的主持人后一直努力做的。
我问君燕她最喜欢记者生涯的哪些方面。她说作为记者虽然没有很大的荣耀，但很有趣、很有挑战性。“我见到了很多人，去了很多不同的地方。我对这份工作永远不会厌倦！”她还补充说，作为一名记者，她必须具备很多不同的技能，并且要不断地面对挑战学习新事物。最后，我问她很多年以后她是否还会感到好奇。她一脸灿烂的笑容，告诉我说：“我从妈妈那里学到的东西从未消失过。现在每当我寻找新闻故事的时候，还常常觉得好像自己是在搬起那些石头，去看看下面藏着什么东西！”

A
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office？”
Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say，“Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles.“How far away is the post office？”you ask.“Oh，”they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here.”You say，“Yes, but how many miles away is it？”They don’t know.
It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea.”But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.”People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
【解题导语】 本文介绍了在世界某些国家对待问路的游客的不同回答方式，说明了了解各地文化的重要性。
1．When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually ________．
A．describe the place carefully
B．refer to recognizable buildings and places
C．show him a map of the place
D．tell him the names of the streets
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的“Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”可知，日本人会用一些建筑物的名称来给行人指路。
2．Which is the place where people measure distance in time?
A．New York. B．Kansas.
C．Los Angeles. D．Iowa.
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles.可知，在洛杉矶，人们用时间来衡量距离，故选C项。
3．People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________．
A．in order to save time
B．as a test
C．for fun
D．so as to be polite
D 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.可知，人们这样做是出于礼貌。
4．What can we infer from the text?
A．It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
B．People have similar understanding of politeness.
C．It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
D．New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
C 解析：推理判断题。文章第一句话引出话题，下文介绍了不同国家中给问路人指路的不同方式，还有的国家为了礼貌，可能会指错道路，说明了了解不同国家文化差异是很重要的，故选C项。
B
Chinese archeologists were therefore surprised in the 1990s to find the remains of an ancient fortification(筑城) in Liqian，a remote town in Yongchang county on the edge of a desert area，which was strikingly similar to Roman defense structures.
They were even more astonished to find Western-looking people with green, deep-set eyes，long hooked noses and blond hair.
Though the villagers said they had never traveled outside the county，they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans’ bull-fighting dance.
DNA tests in 2005 confirmed some of the villagers were indeed of Caucasian origin，leading many experts to conclude they are descendants of an ancient Roman army headed by general Marcus Crassus.
“The ‘foreign’origin of the Yongchang villagers，as proven by the DNA tests，does not necessarily mean they are of ancient Roman origin.”
Xie Xiaodong，a geneticist from Lanzhou University，also sounded a skeptical note.
“Even if they are descendants of Romans，it doesn’t mean they are necessarily from that Roman army，” Xie said.
Their mysterious identity has brought wealth and fame to some of the villagers.
Cai Junnian has yellow wavy hair，a hooked nose and green eyes.A DNA test in 2005 confirmed he is of 56 percent European origin.It made him famous almost overnight.
Reporters，filmmakers，historians and geneticists from around the world pursued him.A Beijing film producer will spend millions to turn the villagers’ story into a film.
Lanzhou University’s new research body，set up this week by Chinese and Italian anthropologists，is a platform for experts to further research the subject but the research work will certainly be complicated.
The center will help Chinese learn Italian language and culture，he said.“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”
【解题导语】 在甘肃省的一个小镇，人们发现了古罗马建筑工事遗址，科学家们根据对村民的DNA血样检测，推断村民是古罗马的后裔。这些发现给这个村带来了财富和名气。科学家们将对此进行进一步的揭秘活动。
5．Scientists take DNA tests in order to ________．
A．explain why villagers have the Western-looking
B．explain why ancient Roman army disappeared
C．explain why villagers are infected with AIDS
D．explain why villagers married at an early age
A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段内容可推断，科学家们采集血样进行DNA检测是为了解释这些村民为什么具有西方人的面部特征。选A。
6．Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Romans like bull-fighting dance.
B．The villagers are of ancient Roman origin.
C．The research work will be very complicated.
D．Cai Junnian’s European origin makes him famous overnight.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段的“they worshipped bulls and their favorite game was similar to the ancient Romans’ bull-fighting dance”可知A项正确；根据倒数第二段可知C项正确；根据倒数第四段最后一句可知D项正确；根据第五段可知B项错误。
7．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “unraveling” in the last paragraph?
A．Keeping. B．Discovering.
C．Storing. D．Destroying.
B 解析：词义猜测题。根据该句“More exchanges will certainly be helpful in unraveling the mystery.”可推测句意为：增进交流会对揭开此谜团有很大的帮助。故该词意为“解开，弄清”，选B。
8．Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?
A．Chinese Villagers Descended from Roman Soldiers
B．Unforgettable and Fierce Ancient Roman War
C．Similarities Between Chinese and Western People
D．An Introduction to Roman Defense Structures
A 解析：标题归纳题。通读全文可知，科学家们认为，中国甘肃省境内骊靬村居民很可能是古罗马失落军团的后裔。这也是文章叙述的主要内容，选A。
七选五

Having a learning disability doesn’t mean you can’t learn，but you’ll need some help and you’ll need to work extra hard.If you have a learning disability, remember that you are not slow.
Learning disabilities can be genetic(遗传的；基因的)．That means they can be passed down in families through the genes.But kids today have an advantage over their parents.Educators now know a lot more about the brain and how learning works—and it’s easier for kids to get the help they need.
“Dyslexia” is a learning disability that means a kid has a lot of trouble reading and writing.Kids who have trouble with math may have “dyscalculia”．Other kids may have “language disorders”，which means they have trouble understanding language and understanding what they read.
It can be confusing，though.How do we tell if a student has a learning disability? Reading，doing math，and writing letters may be difficult for lots of kids at first.But when those early troubles don’t fade away(逐渐消失) after they have grown up，and it’s really difficult for them to make any progress，it’s possible the kid has a learning disability.
Finding out you have a learning disability can be upsetting.You might feel different from everyone else.But the fact is that learning disabilities are pretty common.And if your learning psychologist has found out which one you’re facing，you’re on the right route.Now，you can start getting the help you need to do better in school.But for this special help to really work，you’ll need to practice the new skills you’re learning.It may take a lot of effort every day.That can be a challenge，but you can do it.Soon，you’ll enjoy the results of all your hard work: more fun and success at school!

6．to stop 解析：考查固定短语的表达。固定短语refuse to do sth.意思是“拒绝做某事”，所以填to stop。
7．riding 解析：考查固定短语的表达。固定短语keep doing sth.意思是“一直做某事”。
8．Did 解析：考查动词。此处是询问过去发生的事情应该用一般过去时，谓语是lose所以用助动词Did。
9．me/mine 解析：考查代词。从语境判断此处是作表语，强调“是我的包，或者是我丢了包”，故填me或mine。
10．suddenly 解析：考查副词。此处是修饰动词，所以应该用副词作状语，故填suddenly。

Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I’m finding. And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant. Not knowing anyone there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we’d get all things unloaded without killing ourselves.
We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in.“What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven！” I thought.
Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, the easier the work became. A job that we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was finished in a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal last night by neighbors on the same street.
All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversation were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it’s like to look out for one another. I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!
【解题导语】 作者介绍了搬到一个新地方受到的友好帮助和对待，使作者从一个远离朋友的人变成喜欢和人交往的人。

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy. The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了与green有关的几个短语的含义以及这些短语的意义的历史变迁。
5．A greenhorn now refers to ________．
A．a person who is new in a job
B．a new soldier
C．a young horse
D．a cow without horns
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. 可知，现在“greenhorn”就是指工作方面的新手。故A正确。
6．A person with a green thumb is a person ________．
A．who is good at growing plants
B．whose thumbs are of green color
C．whose garden is greener than others’
D．who is younger than his neighbors
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.可知，“A person with a green thumb”是指一个能让植物长得很好的人，也就是擅长园艺的人。故A正确。
7．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ________．
A．he sees a dangerous animal
B．he reads a sad play
C．his friend gets a prize that he wants
D．he can’t get something
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“It describes...a pay rise and he does not.”可知，the green-eyed monster就是指嫉妒别人拥有了你想要的东西的人。所以当你的朋友得到了你想要的奖项的时候，你会很嫉妒他，就可能会遇见the green-eyed monster。故C正确。
8．The main idea of the passage is ________．
A．a greenhorn
B．a green thumb
C．the Green Revolution
D．the word “green” and its story
D 解析：主旨大意题。文章中叙述了多个关于green的短语“a greenhorn、 a green thumb和the green-eyed monster”的不同意义以及这些短语的来历和在不同时期的不同含义。故D正确。

【解题导语】 本文讲述了自己与好朋友之间的故事，总结出友谊的价值以及它所具有的力量。
1．without 解析： 考查介词。根据上文“I was really just a happy guy”可知，我没有压力。
2．things 解析： 考查名词的单复数。all后要接可数名词的复数形式。
3．thoughts 解析： 考查名词。因为修饰词为a good many，所以后接可数名词的复数形式。
4．who 解析： 考查关系代词。分析句子可知，定语从句中met后缺宾语，且先行词为my first best friend，故用who引导定语从句。

6．cruelly 解析： 考查副词。副词修饰动词abused。
7．hurting 解析： 考查非谓语动词。from...to...中的to为介词，故用动名词。

10．powerful 解析： 考查形容词。how后接形容词。

Survival of the Fittest
“Between now and the 21st century, citizens of the world’s richest and most advanced nations will find it more and more difficult to keep up with① the demand for change②.
For them, the future will arrive too soon.”So begins Alvin Toffler’s book Future Shock, written back in 1970③.
Now people are beginning to pay attention to④ Toffler’s ideas because the speed of change is becoming increasingly fast.It is sometimes difficult to work out⑤ the patterns of change.⑥ What should you do? First of all, don’t panic. Take a deep breath and try to get a sense of the good things the future has to offer⑦.
You don’t need to be Einstein to predict the job areas which will be most affected by such change⑧. Jobs in farming, coal mining and heavy industry are decreasing⑨ rapidly. On the other hand, the service industry, the media and information technology are booming.
①keep up with跟上，赶上
②it在此作形式宾语，真正宾语是to keep up with...。
③written在此处作后置定语，修饰book。
④pay attention to注意
⑤work out制定出
⑥此处的it是形式主语，真正主语是其后的不定式短语to work out the patterns of change。
⑦the future has to offer是省略引导词that的定语从句，修饰things。
⑧which在此处引导定语从句，修饰areas。
⑨decrease[dI'kri?s]v.减少，降低
适者生存
阿尔文·托夫勒在1970年写的《未来的冲击》一书是这样开头的：“从现在开始到21世纪，这个世界上最富有和最先进的国家的公民会感到越来越难以跟上变化的需要。对于他们来讲，未来降临得太快了。”
现在由于变化的速度越来越快，人们开始关注托夫勒的预言。有时变化的模式令人难以捉摸，你该如何应对呢？首先，不要恐慌。深吸一口气，设想一下未来会发生的好事情。
即使你不是爱因斯坦，也能推测出哪些工作领域受这些变化的影响最大。农业、煤矿业和重工业的职位迅速减少；而另一方面，服务业、传媒和信息技术的发展势头良好。
Without doubt⑩， the number of jobs in information technology will multiply?. There are currently over 100，000，000 computers in the world and by 2020 there will be 10 times more. Because of this, people who work with computers? will be in much greater demand.
There are also many other important changes taking place?. First, fewer and fewer people will have a “job for life”. Because of this, workers will have to be more flexible.According to? Mark Hastings of the Institute of Management, in the future, people will organise their working life around a variety of? jobs, instead of working just for one division? or branch? of a company.
⑩without doubt毫无疑问
?multiply['m?ltIplaI]v.大量增加；乘
?who在此处引导定语从句，修饰people。
?take place发生，在此处是现在分词作后置定语，修饰changes。
?according to根据
?a variety of多种多样的
?division[dI'vI??n]n.部门；分割
?branch[brɑ?nt?]n.分支，部门
毫无疑问，信息技术领域的工作职位将会大幅度地增加。目前全世界有一亿多台计算机，到2020年，这个数字将增加十倍。因此，对计算机工作人员的需求将会更大。
还有很多其他重要的变化发生。首先，越来越少的人会有“终身职业”。因此，人们必须富于灵活性。管理学院的马克·哈斯汀斯指出，未来人们将围绕各种工作组织自己的职业生涯，而不会只服务于一家公司的一个部门或分支机构。
Similarly, companies will operate? in different ways?. People will move around to do different jobs, rather than? moving up in the company as before. Many more people will work for small, dynamic( companies which can respond( quickly to changes in the market(. Other people will give up working for a boss and start their own businesses. All this means that companies will require people who are flexible(and can work on their own(. They will also need people who can work together and get on well in a team( .
Good communication skills will be extremely important. According to Dr Laurence Lyons of Future Work,
women will be envied( because they have an advantage in this area. James Traeger, spokesman of a government training organisation, explains that many men will have to be retrained(.“It’s not about making men more like women, but( helping men to communicate as well(.”
Businesses will certainly become more international. English will probably remain the international business language, so don’t bother( learning Russian or Spanish. However, understanding other people—their minds, culture and history(—will be very important. Above all(, a manager will need to feel comfortable working( with people from other countries and continents .
New technology is the driving force behind these rapid changes, so don’t get left behind(. You don’t need to become a computer expert, but you must consider improving your computer skills. Work with more than( one program in case you have to use them at work, and try to read about new technology(.
There is no doubt that all this new technology is changing the way we work and offering many other ways of working. Rather than going into an office, a lot of people are connected to the Internet and now work from home. Working like this( allows you to live where you want(, to continue your studies and to enjoy the comfort( of having a lot more free time. However, with all this change, let’s hope that it also helps the people in poor countries where slave( labour still happens. For the citizens of these nations, the future can’t arrive soon enough.

comfort['k?mf?t]n.舒适，安逸

同样，公司将以不同的方式运转。人们将四处奔波去做不同的工作，而不是像从前一样，在公司内部向上爬。更多人将在那些充满活力的小公司里工作，因为这些公司能够对市场的变化迅速地作出反应。还有些人将放弃给一个老板打工，而开始做自己的生意。所有这些都意味着公司需要的将是富有灵活性和能够独立工作的员工，需要在团队里能够和别人愉快合作、融洽相处的人。
良好的沟通技巧至关重要。根据劳伦斯·莱昂斯博士的《未来的工作》，女性会受到妒忌，因为她们在此领域具有优势。一家政府培训机构的发言人詹姆斯·特雷格解释说，很多男性将需要接受再次培训，“其目的不是令男人更像女人，而是帮助男人同样良好地沟通。”
商业必定将变得更加国际化。英语可能还会是国际商业语言，所以不必费心去学习俄语或西班牙语。但是，理解其他人——他们的思想、文化和历史——将会是非常重要的。毕竟，一位经理需要能够轻松自如地同来自其他国家和大洲的人共同工作。
新技术是这些快速变化背后的驱动力，因此千万不能落后。你不必成为计算机专家，但必须考虑提高自己的计算机技能。学习几种软件以备工作之需，并且要尽力去了解新技术。
毫无疑问，所有这些新技术正在改变我们的工作方式，并提供了许多其他的工作方式。现在很多人不去办公室，而是与互联网连接，在家里办公。这样的工作方式使你能够住在想住的地方，继续学习，并且享受拥有很多自由时间的舒适生活。希望这些改变，能帮助一些仍然有苦役劳动的贫穷国家的人们改善生活。对于这些国家的人民来说，这样的未来还不会很快到来。

Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I’m finding. And I’ve discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant. Not knowing anyone there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we’d get all things unloaded without killing ourselves.
We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there. But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in.“What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we’ve died and gone to heaven！” I thought.
Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked. The more people that helped, the easier the work became. A job that we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was finished in a few hours. Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in. Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again. We were invited to an outdoor meal last night by neighbors on the same street.
All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be outgoing and kind to strangers. Among all the conversation were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways. It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it’s like to look out for one another. I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.
Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience. In the 15th century, a greenhorn was a young cow or an ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had no experience in war. By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.
Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early 20th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.
Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy. The green-eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants. For example, a young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if you get a pay rise and he does not.
In most places in the world, a green light is a signal to move ahead. In everyday speech, a green light means approval to continue with a project.
【解题导语】 本文介绍了与green有关的几个短语的含义以及这些短语的意义的历史变迁。
5．A greenhorn now refers to ________．
A．a person who is new in a job
B．a new soldier
C．a young horse
D．a cow without horns
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句By the 18th century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job. 可知，现在“greenhorn”就是指工作方面的新手。故A正确。
6．A person with a green thumb is a person ________．
A．who is good at growing plants
B．whose thumbs are of green color
C．whose garden is greener than others’
D．who is younger than his neighbors
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第三句A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well.可知，“A person with a green thumb”是指一个能让植物长得很好的人，也就是擅长园艺的人。故A正确。
7．A man may meet the green-eyed monster if ________．
A．he sees a dangerous animal
B．he reads a sad play
C．his friend gets a prize that he wants
D．he can’t get something
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“It describes...a pay rise and he does not.”可知，the green-eyed monster就是指嫉妒别人拥有了你想要的东西的人。所以当你的朋友得到了你想要的奖项的时候，你会很嫉妒他，就可能会遇见the green-eyed monster。故C正确。
8．The main idea of the passage is ________．
A．a greenhorn
B．a green thumb
C．the Green Revolution
D．the word “green” and its story
D 解析：主旨大意题。文章中叙述了多个关于green的短语“a greenhorn、 a green thumb和the green-eyed monster”的不同意义以及这些短语的来历和在不同时期的不同含义。故D正确。

1．without 解析： 考查介词。根据上文“I was really just a happy guy”可知，我没有压力。
2．things 解析： 考查名词的单复数。all后要接可数名词的复数形式。
3．thoughts 解析： 考查名词。因为修饰词为a good many，所以后接可数名词的复数形式。
4．who 解析： 考查关系代词。分析句子可知，定语从句中met后缺宾语，且先行词为my first best friend，故用who引导定语从句。
5．hung 解析： 考查时态。根据上文“but he still took me in...”可知，该句应用一般过去时。
6．cruelly 解析： 考查副词。副词修饰动词abused。
7．hurting 解析： 考查非谓语动词。from...to...中的to为介词，故用动名词。
8．better 解析： 考查形容词比较级。a lot修饰形容词的比较级。
9．that 解析： 考查连接词。分析句子结构可知，此处用that引导同位语从句，说明promise的内容。
10．powerful 解析： 考查形容词。how后接形容词。

Newcastle, one of the fastest developing cities in the United Kingdom, is beginning to draw tourists from all corners of Europe. It’s said most visitors come here to see the famous soccer team play. The mood of the locals is often changed by the success or failure of the local team.
Newcastle’s most popular place is the Gate, which is in the center of the city and has many attractions including bars, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and so on. During a home game it becomes a real home to happiness.
Culture and local history lovers can make their dreams come true by taking one of the local city tour buses. They come and leave every few minutes and stop at all the important historical sites in the city. Also the seats and the environment on the buses are comfortable. It’s the best way to see the city without tiring yourself out or getting cold. Places such as the Hancock Museum and Millennium Bridge are must-see attractions. But be careful if you’re short of time. Newcastle is a big place, so you should be prepared to kill a few hours on one of these buses.
If you want to watch the local team play soccer in the St. James Park, remember to book a ticket as early as possible. The locals are crazy soccer fans, and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.
As you can see, Newcastle is a fantastic city with so much to be offered and so many things to see. You’re sure to have a wonderful time here!

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. And that is the difference between the male and female brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”， a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.

A
In 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling”， written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.
The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the United States in 1911.
Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California，had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the U．S. were set up.But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.
According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering (叨念) “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.
After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about.Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues(线索) about the exact spot of the town.But a Chinese student lodging(寄宿) at the Gardners’ recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr.Gardner.The student wrote an article about Gardners’ story and sent it to the People’s Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.
“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs.Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling，” Xi told the media.Thanks to Xi’s arrangement, Mrs.Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992.She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.
It was a happy occasion for Mrs.Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.
“She said that she would value this bond(纽带) of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”
“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples，” said Xi.
1．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Mr.and Mrs.Gardner were brought up in a southern Chinese town.
B．The name of the town changed shortly after Milton Gardner left.
C．Guling might have originally been pronounced as Kuling in English.
D．Mrs.Gardner knew exactly where the small town lay in south China.
C 解析：推理判断题。结合第四段和第五段内容可知，Gardner先生在生命的最后时刻都一直念着“Kuling，Kuling”，Gardner夫人为了实现他的遗愿，几次到中国寻找未果，且毫无线索，直到寄宿在Gardner家的中国留学生从Gardner先生晚年的旧信件的邮戳上，认出了应是鼓岭这个地方，由此可推知，在英语中，鼓岭原来的发音可能是Kuling。故答案选C。
2．According to the passage, Mr.Gardner ________．
A．lived and worked in Guling for ten years
B．had few memories about the small Chinese town
C．kept in touch with his childhood playmates until he passed away
D．was deeply impressed by Guling’s people and environment
D 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people，she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China”可知，鼓岭淳朴善良的人们和优美的环境给Gardner先生留下了深刻的印象，所以他一直难以忘怀。故答案选D。
3．What played the most important part in making Milton Gardner’s wish come true?
A．The help from newspapers.
B．Mrs.Gardner’s hard efforts.
C．Mr.Xi’s concern and arrangement.
D．The Chinese student’s letter to Mr.Xi.
C 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，习近平当年对这件事的关注和安排Gardner夫人到鼓岭，对实现Gardner先生的遗愿起到了最重要的作用。故答案选C。
4．From the passage we can learn that ________．
A．the Gardners’ story is a moving one with a happy ending
B．the Chinese student studying in the U．S. must be from Fuzhou
C．the mails sent by Mr.Gardner became clues of Guling
D．the American couple revisited China trying to find Guling but in vain
A 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Gardner夫人帮助其已故丈夫实现遗愿的过程虽然曲折，但非常感人，其结果也很令人欣慰。故答案选A。
B
Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.
But to a London taxi driver，driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London，from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.
A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.
During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshment(提神)．He said, “I never drink when I’m working—I would lose my licence.”
He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said，“That’s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don’t make the money，no one is going to give it to you.”
London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”．Every summer hundreds of children from poor families in London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers，and these fares all go to the “London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged__Children”. At the sea，they are met by the mayor，and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market，the children go home again—by taxi，and free of charge，of course!
【解题导语】 本文是一篇关于伦敦出租车司机日常生活和工作的文章，介绍了他们工作的艰辛以及他们的爱心。
5．To be a London driver is not easy because ________．
A．he has to follow the bright traffic signs
B．he has to have good driving skills and know all the places in the city
C．he has to serve all kinds of passengers at all times
D．both B and C
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A taxi driver...bar around.”和“He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.”可知选D。
6．Which of the following statements about the London taxi drivers is TRUE?
A．They work hard because “no pains，no gains”．
B．They never stop driving in the city.
C．They only work between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night.
D．They are very rich.
A 解析：细节理解题。第五段的最后一句话“If you don’t make the money，no one is going to give it to you.”表达的意思和A项所说的“不劳无获”一致，故选A。由第四段的第一句话可知B项错误；由第五段第一句话可知C项错误；由第五段的描述可以看出，他们这么辛苦地赚钱，生活不是很富裕，故D项不正确。
7．It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．the taxi driver works longer than necessary
B．the more runs the taxi driver makes，the more he gets
C．the taxi driver doesn’t like to work for others
D．the taxi drivers in the city go to the seaside to attend a party every year
B 解析：推理判断题。由第五段中的“There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.”可知B项正确。
8．The underlined words “Underprivileged Children” mean children ________．
A．of low income families
B．who like to travel by taxi
C．who wish to go to sea but have no money
D．from London
A 解析：词义猜测题。很显然，该短语指的就是上文所说的“children from poor families”，即A项所说的低收入家庭。

一、定义
直接引语是一字不改地将别人的话放在引号内。间接引语是用自己的话对别人的话进行转述，不用引号。例如：
He said，“Mudslide has caused great harm to the local people.”
他说：“泥石流给当地人们造成了巨大损害。”(引号内的话为直接引语)
→He said that mudslide had caused great harm to the local people. 他说泥石流给当地人们造成了巨大损害。(that引导的宾语从句为间接引语)
二、直接引语和间接引语之间的转换规则
1．人称的变化
直接引语变为间接引语时，人称代词要根据转述人立场的变化作相应的改变。
直接引语变间接引语人称变化口诀：“一随主，二随宾，第三人称不更新。”
(1)“一随主”。指在直接引语变间接引语时，如果从句中的主语是第一人称或被第一人称所修饰，从句中的人称要按照主句中主语的人称而变化。
(2)“二随宾”。指直接引语变间接引语时，若从句中的主语及宾语是第二人称或被第二人称所修饰，从句中的人称要跟引号外的主句的宾语一致；如果引号外的主句没有宾语，也可以用第一人称。
(3)“第三人称不更新”。指直接引语变间接引语时，如果从句中的主语及宾语是第三人称或被第三人称所修饰，从句中的人称一般不需要变化。
2．时态的变化
直接引语变间接引语时动词变化如下表：
直接引语
间接引语
句子时态
一般现在时
一般过去时
现在进行时
过去进行时
现在完成时
过去完成时
一般过去时
过去完成时

不变
一般将来时

例句
①He said，“The film had begun when I got to the cinema.”
→He said that the film had begun when he got to the cinema.
②I asked the teacher，“When shall we have our sports meeting？”
→I asked the teacher when we would have our sports meeting.
在下面几种情况中，直接引语变为间接引语时，时态不发生变化。
(1)直接引语是客观真理、谚语和格言时，其时态不变。
“The earth moves around the sun and the moon moves around the earth，”the teacher told me.
→The teacher told me the earth moves around the sun and the moon moves around the earth.
(2)直接引语中有具体的表过去的某年、某月、某日作状语，变为间接引语时，时态不变。例如：
Tom said，“I was born on April 21，1980.”
→Tom said he was born on April 21，1980.
3．指示代词、时间状语、地点状语及方向性动词的变化

地点状语
here这儿
there 那儿
方向性动词
bring带来
take带走
come来
go去
4.连接词的选择
(1)直接引语是陈述句，变为间接引语时，常变成由that引导的宾语从句。在口语中，that可以省略。例如：
He said，“I was cooking when the earthquake happened.”
→He said(that)he was cooking when the earthquake happened.
直接引语是陈述句时，若变为间接引语，主句谓语动词“said to sb.”常改为“told sb.”。
She said to me，“I came back an hour ago.”
→She told me (that) she had come back an hour before.
(2)直接引语是一般疑问句、选择疑问句或反意疑问句时，间接引语中用whether(...or...或．..or not)或if引导。
He said，“Are you interested in English？”
→He asked (me) if/whether I was interested in English.
如果主句中谓语动词是said，则将其改为asked。
(3)直接引语为特殊疑问句时，间接引语仍用原句中的特殊疑问词来引导，其余的变化遵照直接引语和间接引语之间的转换规则来进行。
“What’s your name？”he asked me.
→He asked me what my name was.
疑问句的直接引语变间接引语时，要把疑问语序变成陈述语序。
5．祈使句的直接引语变间接引语
祈使句的间接引语形式多采用“动词＋宾语＋动词不定式”结构。常见的引述动词有ask，tell，beg，warn，remind，advise，order等。
(1)引述表示命令的祈使句，常用tell，order等转述。例如：
直接引语中的称呼语，一般把它当作宾语用。
(2)引述表示建议、劝告的祈使句，可以用advise，suggest等词转述。
(3)引述表示请求的祈使句，常用ask，beg等词转述。
(4)引述表示警告或提醒的祈使句用remind，warn等词转述。
6．一般疑问句的直接引语变间接引语
若直接引语中的一般疑问句是由表示委婉语气的would，could等构成的疑问句，转换为间接引语时句子的谓语动词常用asked。例如：
7．感叹句的直接引语变间接引语
直接引语是感叹句时，间接引语可以用what或how引导也可以用that引导。
有些感叹句的转述要根据原句的意思采用适当的动词变陈述句。
“Happy New Year！”he said to me.
→He wished me a Happy New Year.
单句语法填空
1．He told me that he ____________(go) to see his parents the next week.
答案：would go

Newcastle, one of the fastest developing cities in the United Kingdom, is beginning to draw tourists from all corners of Europe. It’s said most visitors come here to see the famous soccer team play. The mood of the locals is often changed by the success or failure of the local team.
Newcastle’s most popular place is the Gate, which is in the center of the city and has many attractions including bars, restaurants, sports bars, pubs and so on. During a home game it becomes a real home to happiness.
Culture and local history lovers can make their dreams come true by taking one of the local city tour buses. They come and leave every few minutes and stop at all the important historical sites in the city. Also the seats and the environment on the buses are comfortable. It’s the best way to see the city without tiring yourself out or getting cold. Places such as the Hancock Museum and Millennium Bridge are must-see attractions. But be careful if you’re short of time. Newcastle is a big place, so you should be prepared to kill a few hours on one of these buses.
If you want to watch the local team play soccer in the St. James Park, remember to book a ticket as early as possible. The locals are crazy soccer fans, and you’ll find it hard to get a ticket if you don’t wait in the queue early.
As you can see, Newcastle is a fantastic city with so much to be offered and so many things to see. You’re sure to have a wonderful time here!

A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. And that is the difference between the male and female brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking”， a very popular word these days.
Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.
Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.
Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.
As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.

A
In 1992, when Xi Jinping worked in Fuzhou, he came across a newspaper report about “My Guling”， written by a Chinese student studying in the United States.
The report described an American couple who tried in vain to revisit a southern Chinese town called Guling, where the husband, Milton Gardner, had spent 10 years of his childhood before moving back to the United States in 1911.
Gardner, who later became a professor of physics at the University of California，had been longing to revisit Guling since 1979 when the diplomatic ties between China and the U．S. were set up.But he had never made the trip due to his failing health.
According to the newspaper, Gardner kept uttering (叨念) “Kuling, Kuling” in the final hours of his life.
After he passed away, his wife Elizabeth Gardner decided to carry out the dying wish of her husband and since then made several trips to China in an attempt to find the small town that her husband had so much affection about.Her efforts ended in vain as she had few clues(线索) about the exact spot of the town.But a Chinese student lodging(寄宿) at the Gardners’ recognized the small town as Guling near Fuzhou City from postmarks on some old mails of late Mr.Gardner.The student wrote an article about Gardners’ story and sent it to the People’s Daily, one of the major newspapers in China.
“After I read the story, I immediately contacted Mrs.Gardner through the departments concerned and invited her to visit Guling，” Xi told the media.Thanks to Xi’s arrangement, Mrs.Gardner finally arrived at Guling in August 1992.She met there with nine childhood friends of her husband, all of whom were over 90 years old at that time.
It was a happy occasion for Mrs.Gardner, who was later awarded the honorary citizenship of Fuzhou City, Xi recalled.
“She said that she would value this bond(纽带) of friendship between her husband and the people of China, because after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people, she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China.”
“I believe there are many such touching stories between our two peoples，” said Xi.
1．What can we infer from the passage?
A．Mr.and Mrs.Gardner were brought up in a southern Chinese town.
B．The name of the town changed shortly after Milton Gardner left.
C．Guling might have originally been pronounced as Kuling in English.
D．Mrs.Gardner knew exactly where the small town lay in south China.
C 解析：推理判断题。结合第四段和第五段内容可知，Gardner先生在生命的最后时刻都一直念着“Kuling，Kuling”，Gardner夫人为了实现他的遗愿，几次到中国寻找未果，且毫无线索，直到寄宿在Gardner家的中国留学生从Gardner先生晚年的旧信件的邮戳上，认出了应是鼓岭这个地方，由此可推知，在英语中，鼓岭原来的发音可能是Kuling。故答案选C。
2．According to the passage, Mr.Gardner ________．
A．lived and worked in Guling for ten years
B．had few memories about the small Chinese town
C．kept in touch with his childhood playmates until he passed away
D．was deeply impressed by Guling’s people and environment
D 解析：细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“after seeing for herself the beautiful Guling and the warmth and goodwill of the Chinese people，she now understood why her husband had been so deeply attached to China”可知，鼓岭淳朴善良的人们和优美的环境给Gardner先生留下了深刻的印象，所以他一直难以忘怀。故答案选D。
3．What played the most important part in making Milton Gardner’s wish come true?
A．The help from newspapers.
B．Mrs.Gardner’s hard efforts.
C．Mr.Xi’s concern and arrangement.
D．The Chinese student’s letter to Mr.Xi.
C 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，习近平当年对这件事的关注和安排Gardner夫人到鼓岭，对实现Gardner先生的遗愿起到了最重要的作用。故答案选C。
4．From the passage we can learn that ________．
A．the Gardners’ story is a moving one with a happy ending
B．the Chinese student studying in the U．S. must be from Fuzhou
C．the mails sent by Mr.Gardner became clues of Guling
D．the American couple revisited China trying to find Guling but in vain
A 解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，Gardner夫人帮助其已故丈夫实现遗愿的过程虽然曲折，但非常感人，其结果也很令人欣慰。故答案选A。
B
Driving a car at high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You need only to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highways and it will take you to where you wish.
But to a London taxi driver，driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver has to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London，from the smallest lane to the most popular bar around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.
A certain London taxi driver told of his job as follows.
During the night it is quite usual for him to stop two or three times for some refreshment(提神)．He said, “I never drink when I’m working—I would lose my licence.”
He normally goes home between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said，“That’s the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don’t make the money，no one is going to give it to you.”
London taxi drivers not only “take” but also “give”．Every summer hundreds of children from poor families in London will go for a day at the sea—by taxi! Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers，and these fares all go to the “London Taxi Fund for Underprivileged__Children”. At the sea，they are met by the mayor，and a lunch party is also held in honour of the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day running around the sea beaches and visiting the market，the children go home again—by taxi，and free of charge，of course!
【解题导语】 本文是一篇关于伦敦出租车司机日常生活和工作的文章，介绍了他们工作的艰辛以及他们的爱心。
5．To be a London driver is not easy because ________．
A．he has to follow the bright traffic signs
B．he has to have good driving skills and know all the places in the city
C．he has to serve all kinds of passengers at all times
D．both B and C
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A taxi driver...bar around.”和“He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times.”可知选D。
6．Which of the following statements about the London taxi drivers is TRUE?
A．They work hard because “no pains，no gains”．
B．They never stop driving in the city.
C．They only work between 2 and 3 o’clock in the night.
D．They are very rich.
A 解析：细节理解题。第五段的最后一句话“If you don’t make the money，no one is going to give it to you.”表达的意思和A项所说的“不劳无获”一致，故选A。由第四段的第一句话可知B项错误；由第五段第一句话可知C项错误；由第五段的描述可以看出，他们这么辛苦地赚钱，生活不是很富裕，故D项不正确。
7．It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．the taxi driver works longer than necessary
B．the more runs the taxi driver makes，the more he gets
C．the taxi driver doesn’t like to work for others
D．the taxi drivers in the city go to the seaside to attend a party every year
B 解析：推理判断题。由第五段中的“There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs.”可知B项正确。
8．The underlined words “Underprivileged Children” mean children ________．
A．of low income families
B．who like to travel by taxi
C．who wish to go to sea but have no money
D．from London
A 解析：词义猜测题。很显然，该短语指的就是上文所说的“children from poor families”，即A项所说的低收入家庭。
