1考查时态。根据前面的18 years ago,可知句子用一般过去时态,故答案为wished。

2考查固定搭配。look forward to +名词/代词/动名词,表示期盼某事或做某事,故答案为seeing。

3考查反身代词。句意:你期待着看到我勇敢的为自己的未来奋斗,并为自己和他人做好。结合句意此处用反身代词,故答案为myself。

4考查过去分词。句意:读了这封信,我对你对我的期望感到很震惊。feel shocked感到震惊,故答案为shocked。

5考查名词。句意:读了这封信,我对你对我的期望感到很震惊。your(你的)是形容词性物主代词,后面用名词形式,故答案为expectation(期望)。

6考查固定词组。句意:我也为没有很好地完成你的要求而感到羞愧。固定词组:feel shamed of---感到羞愧,故答案为of。

7考查固定词组。on the contrary正相反,故答案为On。

8考查时间状语从句的引导词。句意:只有当我读了你的信,我才意识到我当时表现很差,你很伤心看到我没有为自己做好。此处是only+状语,引导部分倒装。故答案为when。

9考查形容词。句意:祝你健康快乐。此处是形容词做宾语补足语,故答案为healthy。

10考查不定冠词。句意:我保证我将不遗余力地满足你的需求,成为一个勇敢和成功的人。故答案为a.

“only+状语位于句首时的倒装:

当一个状语受副词only的修饰且置于句首时,其后用部分倒装语序:

如:Only then did he realize that he was wrong. 到那时他才意识到他错了。

【题目】 When my son, Tony, was 11 years old, he got a small job helping out with a traveling carnival (狂欢节) in our town. He didn’t come home at lunchtime and got back for supper as usual after he finished his work.

I asked him where he had lunch and he told me he made some new friends at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had paid him a few dollars and invited him for lunch in return for helping them with their chores (杂务).

I was glad Tony found new friends but a little worried about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. “Oh, Mom, they’re normal people like anyone else. They just work at a carnival instead of in a store or something”. “Come down tomorrow and meet them yourself,” he said.

So the next day I went to the carnival. The twin brothers turned out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. Tony didn’t think this fact was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, “Yes, I noticed that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their clothes because it's so difficult to find anything to fit them? They’re also really good cooks. Today, Joe,the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch.”

What others see first in a person is not what a child considers important. Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a lesson I have thought about many times over the years.

1Why didn’t Tony go home for lunch?

A.Because his mother hoped not.

B.Because he wanted to have a rest.

C.Because his friends invited him for lunch. .

D.Because he had to finish the work before noon.

2The author was pleased that ________.

A.her son found a small job and made money

B.her son found new friends during the carnival

C.her son didn’t come back home for lunch

D.her son could do some help to their travelers

3In the author’s opinion, the people who are traveling in a carnival are ________.

A.friendly.B.rich.

C.normal.D.unreliable.

4From the text we may infer that ________.

A.Tony is a kind and honest boy

B.the author couldn't make clothes for her son

C.a child’s opinion is always different from his mother’s

D.the author and her son are not getting on well with each other

The Conflict of the Orders

The types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.

In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.

Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.

The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B. C, a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B. C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility. From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not as important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.

The Dangerous Downsides of Perfectionism

In one of my earliest memories, I’m drawing. I don’t remember what the picture is supposed to be, but I remember the mistake. My marker slips, an unintentional line appears and my lip trembles. The picture has long since disappeared. But that feeling of deep frustration, even shame, stays with me.

That’s the thing about perfectionism, a crucially self-defeating way to move through the world. It makes you better at your career and relationships and life in general. Culturally, we often see perfectionism as a positive.

But the disadvantage of perfectionism isn’t just that it holds you back from being your most successful, productive-self. Perfectionistic tendencies have been linked to a long list of clinical issues: depression, social anxiety disorder, eating disorders, and most damaging of all, suicide (自杀).

“Based upon the 60-odd studies that we’ve done, the higher the perfectionism is, the more psychological disorders you’re going to suffer,” says York St John University’s Hill. “Factors often labeled ‘healthy’ perfectionism, like striving for excellence, aren’t actually perfectionism at all. They’re just conscientiousness (尽职尽责)—which explains why people with those tendencies often have different results in studies. Perfectionism isn’t interpreted by working hard or setting high goals. It’s that critical inner voice.”

Take the student who works hard and gets a poor mark. If she tells herself, “I’m disappointed, but it’s okay; I’m still a good person overall,” that’s healthy. If the message is, “I’m a failure. I’m not good enough,” that’s perfectionism.

Perfectionists can make smooth sailing into a storm, a brief ill wind into a category-five hurricane. Eventually, the behaviours perfectionists adapt, actually, do make them more likely to fail.

【题目】“Iris scan (虹膜扫描) , please,” the bank’s computer voice tells you . You step up and the computer reads your eye , comparing it to the stored file it has of your iris. The images had better match—otherwise you won’t be able to get your money.

Iris scanning and other technologies , such as fingerprint and voice scanning , have appeared in many science fiction movies in the past. Today , these advanced technologies are part of the real world. They are common at work, the bank, the airport, and your local prison. The iris scan, fingerprint scan, and voice scan are all examples of biometrics( 生物测定学) a fast developing area of automatic personal identification technology . Basically , biometrics uses various ways to verify a persons identity , based on the individual’s unique characteristics ,including fingerprints , voices, irises, body heat patterns, facial images, handprints , signatures and so on.

Biometrics identification systems have a number of advantages over password systems. The primary advantage is that an individual has to be physically present in order to be identified. Another important advantage is that there are no passwords to remember , forget, lose or steal.

The voice scan is the simplest and most affordable form of biometrics . It only requires a computer, a microphone and the correct software. The software records a subject’s voice and then compares it to a stored voice sample for identification purposes.

For additional safety, fingerprint and handprint scans can also be employed . Fingerprint scans take the image of a fingerprint and compare it to a stored file of prints. Handprint scans identify the unique features of a hand.

Iris scans currently give the highest level of accuracy among all the available biometrics systems. Another technology , full facial scans , is currently in use at border crossings and airports. Facial scanning equipment can actually track and identify moving faces within a crowd.

The potential of biometrics is exciting and encouraging . With continued development , testing , and application , current technologies will become even more effective in the future. Soon , the days of password and car keys will be gone . Just don’t leave home without your fingerprints!
