题目内容

 Going back as far as I can remember as a child in an Indian area,I had no senses of know?ing about the other people around me except that we were all somehow equal. . . There was only one class. Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else.

  You could see it in our games. Nobody organized them. There weren't any competitive sports. But we took part in lots of activities and we were organized, but not in the sense that there were wars of finding out who had won and who had lost. We played balls like everyone else,but no one kept scores. Even if we did formally take part in the games we played, no one was a winner though someone may have won. It was only at that moment. If you beat someone by pulling a bow and arrow and shooting the arrow further, it didn't mean you were better in any way. It just meant that at that particular time the arrow went further;maybe it was just the way you let the bow go. These kinds of things are very important to me and that is why I am talking about them.

  One of the very important things was the relationship we had with our families. We didn't always live at home. We lived wherever we happened to be at that particular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home,then that was where you slept. 

(   ) 1. According to the passage above, which of the following can be inferred?

A.     All the children were kind and equal in different activities.

B.     All the children quarreled with each other in every game.

C.     Children often took part in different fightings.

D.     Every child tired their best to climb to the top of all the activities.

(   ) 2. What does the underlined word "competitive" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. United. B. Breaking. C. Common. D. Fighting.
(   ) 3. From the passage, we can infer that      

A.     they pretended to lose when they could win the games

B.     they didn't think it was very important who was the winner among their activities

C.     they didn't hold any activities which could produce winners or losers

D.     they thought it was a good idea that no one could win in their activities
(   ) 4. In their area,it was said that      

A.     people could spend their nights anywhere whether it was their home or not

B.     people only served their friends to spend their nights at home

C.     people had to return to their home to spend their nights whether they were far away or not

D. strange people had to spend their nights in the field when it got dark

A篇是一篇记叙文。文章描绘了作者曾经在印度一个地区学校度过的孩提时代。那时,孩子们相互平等,不为榆森,孩子们之间的游戏没有任何竟争性。

1. A逻辑推理题从第一段"Nobody was interested in getting on top of anybody else,we were all somehow equal."可以看出,作者生活的地方孩子们都是平等的(equal),且无人争强好胜,故都很和气(kind)。

2. D词义猜测题通过文章第二段对当时孩子们运动、游戏的描述可知,这些活动不是以争输赢为目的的,所以可以猜到competitive 是"竞争的"的意思,四个选项中最接近的是fighting 0

3. B逻辑推理题从文章第二段的描述中可以推断出答案。无人关心输赢,大家只关注活动本身。

4. A逻辑推理题可从文章最后两句话"We lived wherever we happened to be at that parti?cular time when it got dark. If you were two or three miles away from home,then that was

The way to lift up your mood

Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard? when there's nobody to talk to and the mood (情绪)is just getting worse and worse. 16.___________________

The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively. It's very hard, because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad things we have. But if you try to force yourself
and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts. 17.___________________

18.___________________ It could be something you wanted for a long time―a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. It doesn't have to be costly, but it has to be good to yourself.

   Not only giving gifts to yourself can lift up your mood. 19.___________________Think of your friends* family, relatives or even local charities (慈善机构), choose one person and give him/her a gift. It doesn't have to be something expensive or big. It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbour's child. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind.

   Take control of your feelings. Don't let them control you. 20.___________________Just follow the advice above, and start doing something.

G.  You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish.

  What is eBay? The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything. People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods, including cars,movies and DVDs,sporting goods,travel tickets,musical instruments,clothes and shoes―the list goes on and on.

  The idea came from Peter Omidyar,who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child. At high school, he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988 ,he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer. In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby,at first offering the service free by word of mouth. By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级) and he began charging a fee to members. Joined by a friend, Peter Skill and in 1998 by his capable CEO,Meg Whitman,he has never looked back. Even in the great,com crashes of the late 1990s, eBay has gone from strength to strength. It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.

  EBay sells connections, not goods, putting buyers and sellers into contact with each other.All you have to do is take an e-photo, write a description, fill out a sales form and you are in business:the world is your market place. Of course for each item(商品)sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money. Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.

 As a kid,I can remember going to the supermarket and grabbing eggs off the shelf. I would run them home to my mother because they were usually going into a delicious cake. Times have changed. Cage-free? Organic? Brown? White? Omega-3s(—种脂肪酸)?Help!Here are some tips to help you figure out which eggs you should be eating.

Brown or white? In fact,color is simply a sign of the breed of hen. Find the freshest egg with the most flavor and let color be a secondary concern.

  Extra Omega-3s? Omega-3 eggs come from a hen whose diet has added flaxseed (亚麻籽), which produces an egg containing an average of 225 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E. The countless health benefits for humans make these eggs an attractive purchase. My opinion? Eat a piece of fresh fish and get a pure pill of Omega-3s. Let eggs be eggs. .

  Does your egg need exercise? Free-range eggs are from hens raised without the limit of a cage,though they may or may not have spent much time outdoors. Organic eggs are from hens whose food must meet organic standards. These hens must be raised humanly, and they must be given time to the outdoors. Hey,happier hens do lay tastier eggs.

Does local make a difference? Nothing is better than local eggs. They may have a feather or two stuck to them or be a little imperfect in shape and may or may not be certified organic; however, they have one quality. I know exactly where my food came from and how it came into being!In some cases I can even ask the farmer when the eggs were laid and what they were fed. 

(   ) 5. What's the best title for this passage?

A.     Which Eggs Should You Be Eating?

B.     Eggs Are Changing as Times Are Changing

C.     Which Kind of Egg Is the Best?

D.     The First Concern When Choosing Eggs

(   ) 6. What does the author think of extra Omega-3s eggs?

A.     They are a good choice for people to buy.

B.     They contain fewer Omega-3s than fresh fish.

C.     They have the highest content of pure Omega-3s.

D.     They are not the best source of Omega-3 s.

(   ) 7. The underlined word "free-range" probably means "__________________ ”.

A. wild    B. cage-free

C. organic    D. Omega-3-free

(   ) 8. According to the passage, which of the following has NOTHING to do with an egg's quality?

A.     The egg's color.

B.     The hen's exercise.

C.     The hen's living conditions.

D.     The hen's food.

  They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon, on foot,on mules(骡子)or by air. We chose the first. Up early,my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.

  As we set out,I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤) us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly.

  The next day,after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon―by air. After our last walk,this would be the easiest thing in the world.

  We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around,pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, "STOP,TAKE US BACK!" When we finally arrived back on land,once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.

  As I said,there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally I'd suggest a fourth:buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way,you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness. 

(   ) 5. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

A.     They made a careful preparation before the trip.

B.     The children were more joyful than their parents.

C.     Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.

D.     Arizona's heat is one of the attractions to the tourists.

(   ) 6. The underlined expression "our legs were like jelly" probably means      

A. we were weak           B. we were unhappy

C. we were dissatisfied    D. we were disappointed

(   ) 7. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?

A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable.

C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It made each of them tired.
(   ) 8. We can infer from the passage that      

A.     experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way

B.     one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon

C.     the writer was not serious when she made the decisions

D.     the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident
