【题目】It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm (闹钟) rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run, but today I choose my favorite exercise DVD, Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I force my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired, but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

Some people enjoy shopping, smoking, food, work, or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows, surprised by my “no thank you,” or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years, I have learned it's okay to just say “no”. I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat.

So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00 a. m.? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment. A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety, increases selfconfidence and energy, extends life and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile appears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favorite pair of jeans that now fit just right. It's through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.

【题目】A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but for more than the reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it means also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons,not two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together, out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need and without wasting time, demands skill and selfawareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

1A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following EXCEPT its ________.

A. wide coverage

B. uniform style

C. speed in reporting news

D. popularity

2According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the same newspaper is that ________.

A. people scan for the news they are interested in

B. different people prefer different newspapers

C. people are rarely interested in the same kind of news

D. people have different views about what a good newspaper is

3It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers ________.

A. apply reading techniques skillfully

B. jump from one newspaper to another

C. appreciate the variety of a newspaper

D. usually read a newspaper selectively

4Which can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. How to read newspaper?

B. Where to find a good newspaper?

C. What is a good newspaper?

D. Newspaper.

【题目】Many young people these days adore the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time. But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don’t realize how vacillating the idea of beauty can be from one country to another.

Think of the most typical American girl you know. Is she blonde haired with white skin and light eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, a place where beauty is placed on what you can control. The Maasai tribe in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings (穿孔) are. This tribe’s culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong. If you don’t look fierce, you are not beautiful.

Other countries like North Korea and South Korea have their own unique views on beauty. In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife. She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense. She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery. This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture. And the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy.

1What does the underlined word “vacillating” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Inconsistent. B. Reasonable. C. Unusual. D. Similar.

2The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes _______.

A. getting dirty is stylish

B. looking fierce is beautiful

C. strong people cut their skin

D. American girls love shopping

3According to the woman interviewed, women in North Korea now_______.

A. care a lot about their appearance

B. put the beauty of eyes in the first place

C. pay great attention to their ability

D. are crazy about double eyelid surgery

4What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Inner beauty is of great importance.

B. Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups.

C. Different ways are needed to admire true beauty.

D. Fashion magazines easily influence young people.

【题目】“Her grades are fine; I’m not worried about that, but she just doesn’t seem to love learning any more.” Alice’s mum said.

She’s absolutely right. I’d noticed the same thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when I’d been Alice’s middle school English, Latin, and writing teacher, and I have an answer, right there on the tip of my tongue, for what has gone wrong. Yet I’m torn between my responsibility to help Alice, and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth I’m not sure this mother is ready to hear.

The truth—for this parent and so many others—is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣坛) of achievement, and it’s our fault. Alice’s parents, her teachers, society at large—we are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards. We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力) ,and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to come home proudly bearing grades As, championship prizes, and college acceptances, and not on purpose, we taught her that we don’t really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that it’s better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.

1Both the mother and the teacher have noticed that ________.

A. Alice hates to tell them truth

B. Alice’s test scores are not so good

C. Alice chooses several subjects to learn

D. Alice doesn’t enjoy studying any more

2What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?

A. pained to choose B. guilty to quit C. tired to manage D. certain to decide

3What does the teacher think of the girl?

A. Her academic perfection resulted from her character.

B. She is a gifted girl with spirits of challenging.

C. She is perfect in her character development.

D. Her academic performance is great.

4What leads to the girl’s change?

A. A few failure experiences. B. Fear of failing getting good grades.

C. Her mother’s over-protection. D. Her not being accepted by colleges.
