【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文,属于人物传记。介绍了近一百年来涌现出来的四位杰出的女性。

【题目】It's generally believed that people act the way they do because of their personalities and attitudes.They recycle their garbage because they care about the environment.They pay $5 for a caramel brulee latte because they like expensive coffee drinks.

It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions(性情),but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are,as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bern,by observing our own behavior.We can be strangers to ourselves.If we knew our own minds,why would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior?If our minds were an open book,we would know exactly how much we care about the environment or like lattes.Actually,we often need to look to our behavior to figure out who we are.

Moreover,we don't just use our behavior to learn about our particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there before.Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us,which we fail to recognize.Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors would disapprove if we didn’t.Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress the people around us.We should not mistakenly believe that we always behave as a result of some inner disposition.

Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make,people become what they do,though it may not be in compliance(符合)with their true desires.Therefore,we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice:"We are what we pretend to be,so we must be careful about what we pretend to be."

1According to the passage,personalities and attitudes are commonly believed to______.

A. determine one's behavior B. reflect one's taste

C. influence one's surroundings D. result from one's habits

A. The return of a wallet can indicate one's honesty.

B. A kind person will offer his seat to the old.

C. One recycles plastics to protect the environment.

D. One buys latte out of true love of coffee.

3What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the passage?

A. We fail to realize our inner dispositions.

B. We can be influenced by outside pressures.

C. Our behavior is the result of our true desires.

D. Our characters can shape our social relationships.

4What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?

C. Behavior and personalities.

D. Attitudes and preferences.

【题目】When my father was dying, I traveled a thousand miles from home to be with him in his last days. It was far more heartbreaking than I’d expected, one of the most difficult and painful times in my life. After he passed away I stayed alone in his apartment. There were so many things to deal with. It all seemed endless. I was lonely. I hated the silence of the apartment.

But one evening the silence was broken: I heard crying outside. I opened the door to find a little cat on the steps. He was thin and poor. He looked the way I fell. I brought him inside and gave him a can of fish. He ate it and then almost immediately fell sound asleep.

The next morning I checked with neighbors and learned that the cat had been given up by his owner who’d moved out. So the little cat was there all alone, just like I was. As I walked back to the apartment, I tried to figure out what to do with him. Having something else to take care of seemed like the very last thing I needed. But as soon as I opened the apartment door he came running and jumped into my arms. It was clear from that moment he had no intention of going anywhere. I started calling him willis, in honor of my father’s best friend.

From then on, things grew easier. With willis in my lap, time seemed to pass much more quickly. When the time finally came for me to return home I had to decide what to do about Willis. There was absolutely no way I would leave without him.

It’s now been five years since my father died. Over the years, several people have commented on how nice it was of me to rescue the cat. But I know that we rescued each other. I may have given him a home but he gave me something greater.

【题目】There's a lot of discussion these days about fit kids. Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical exercise, and has a healthy weight. If you're fit, your body works well, feels good, and can do all the things you want to do. 1

Eat a variety of foods, especially fruit and vegetables.

You may have a favorite food, but the best choice is to eat a variety. If you eat different foods, you're more likely to get the nutrients (养分) your body needs. 2

Drink more water and milk most often.

3 And there's a reason why your school cafeteria offers milk. Kids need calcium () to grow strong bones, and milk is a great source of this mineral.

Listen to your body.

What does it feel like to be full? When you're eating, notice how your body feels and when your stomach feels comfortably full. Sometimes, people eat too much because they don't notice when they need to stop eating. 4 Over a period of time, it can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

Be active.

One job you have as a kid — and it's a fun one — is that you get to figure out which activities you like best. Not everyone loves baseball or soccer. Maybe your interest is kickball or dancing. 5 Find ways to be active every day.

A. Eat less and take more exercise.

B. When thirsty, you should choose cold water.

C. Eating too much can make you feel uncomfortable.

D. Taste new foods and old ones you haven't tried for a while.

E. Ask your parents to help you find and do your favorite activities.

F. Here are four rules to live by, if you're a kid who wants to keep fit.

G. Going to see the doctors regularly is a good way to keep the diseases away.

【题目】The UP Series is a series of documentary films produced by Granada Television that have followed the lives of fourteen British children since 1964, when they were seven years old. So far the documentary has had eight episodes(连续剧) lasting 49 years (one episode every seven years) and the documentary has been broadcast on both ITV and BBC.

The children were selected to represent the range of social economic backgrounds in Britain at that time, with the assumption that each child’s social class predetermines their future. Every seven years, the director, Michael Apted, films material from those of the fourteen who choose to participate. The aim of the series is stated at the beginning of 7 Up, as, "Why do we bring these children together? Because we want to get a glimpse of England in the year 2000. The shop assistant and the manager of the year 2000 are now seven years old."

The subjects are first seen on a group visit to London Zoo, where the narrator announces “We brought these 20 children together for the very first time.” The series, however, only follows fourteen. Because the show was not originally intended to become a repeating series, no long-term contract was signed with the participants. The interviews since 7 Up have been voluntary, although the participants have been paid an unknown sum for their appearance in each film.

Although the series began as a political documentary, it has become a film of human nature. In the director’s commentary for 42 Up, Apted comments that he did not realize the series had changed tone from political to personal until 21 Up. He also comments that this realization was a relief to him and allowed the films to breathe a little more.

1When was the fourth episode of the series made?

A. 1985. B. 1992. C. 2000. D. 2005.

2What was the goal of the Up Series at the beginning?

A. To research human nature.

B. To predict the future job changes.

C. To gather the 20 children together.

D. To foresee England in the year 2000.

3What can we learn about the participants in the documentary?

A. They joined in it for free.

B. They were not on good terms.

C. They did not expect a repeating series.

D. They were praised for their appearance.

4Why did Apted think the realization was a relief?

A. He could breathe a little more.

B. He could direct the films more freely.

C. He had finished the whole series finally.

D. He changed his idea about human nature.
