题目内容

The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36 ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she  folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her   37  grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried  38 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently  39 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat  40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a  41 roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.
When school was over, Elizabeth  42 until all the other kids left so that she could  43 . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card  44 you want. I’ll do it  45 and bring it tomorrow.”
46 are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.
“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it  47 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the  48  card in the whole class. It was so  49  that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so  50 that she ran out of the classroom.
When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth  51 to give her the card early.
On the front of the card was a  52 of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n)  53 . I want to thank you and  54 you a happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Elizabeth
When her mom read the card she started  55 , just like Mrs Berry did.

With a shot, the race began. All the students were   48  for their team. The competition was so   49  that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was   50  the others. Even worse, I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to   51  it.

  56 , I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not   57  at all! My classmates greeted me warmly and I hugged them tightly. I had won the prize as well as their   58 .

“ Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with.It is  36  to find someone who is down-to-earth.A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to  37  accepts other people as equals.A down-to-earth is just the 38 of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth persons may be  39  members of society, of course.But they do not let their importance “ go to their  40 ”.They do not  41  themselves to be better persons than others of less importance, someone who is filled with his own importance and  42 , often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”.There is no way a person with his nose in the  43 can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that means almost the same  44  “down-to-earth”.The expression is “both-feet-on-the-ground”.Someone with both-feet-on-the-ground is a person  45  a good understanding of reality.He has what is called “   46  sense”.He may have  47  , but he does not allow them to  48  his knowledge of what is real.The opposite kind of person is  49  who has his “head-in-the-clouds”.A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the  50  world.
Sometimes  51  a dreamer can be brought back to earth 52  words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very  53  to have both-feet-on-the-ground.
 54  we have both our feet on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act  55  and openly toward others.Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

When I was born, my parents immediately noticed something wrong. My feet were deformed (畸形的), pointing inward and curling under. I wore casts (石膏) and foot braces (支架) in my first two years to correct the problem. Yet I learned to balance and walk in casts. Soon after the last set of casts came off,Mom enrolled me in dance classes as therapy for my feet. I, however,quickly decided to try something else. Not far from my house was an ice rink (溜冰场) in the mall. There,local skaters would perform ice shows. I wanted to try skating.
I started taking group skating lessons. Performing on ice came naturally. For me,skating has never been about beating others. It’s been about being my personal best. I progressed through various levels rapidly and gave my first ice performance at age seven. Soon I started winning local and regional competitions. That’s because being on the ice has always been the one place I can truly express my emotions. The ice is like home.
I began seriously training when I was nine years old. After graduating from girls’ high school,I moved to Canada. Saying goodbye to my family and friends made me homesick,but I knew deep down that I had to leave and train full-time to give my dreams a chance at reality.
I went to compete in the Olympic Games in 1992.I was the first of the final six skaters on the ice. My long performance started well,but I slipped while landing one of my easiest triple jumps,and my hand touched the ice. I didn’t want to make two mistakes in a row,so next I did a jump with just two spins to play it safe. As I neared the end,I had one more jump. I landed it perfectly.
When medals were awarded,I found myself on the top step,the gold hanging around my neck and America’s national anthem playing. Words can’t describe the overwhelming mixture of emotions I felt.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯响) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
小题1:The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A.show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B.provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories

D.tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
小题2:In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A.family relationshipsB.terrors in the night
C.limitless possibilitiesD.sacrifices to benefit others
小题3: What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A.Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B.Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C.Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D.Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
小题4:What is the main idea of this story?
A.People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B.Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C.Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D.Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material.

  Why doesn’t the unemployment rate ever reach zero? Economists, who generally believe that supply tends to meet demand, have long thought about this question. Even in good times, i.e. not now, there are people who can’t find work. And even in bad times, i.e. now, there are job openings. With over 14 million people out of work and looking for a job, you would think every available job would be filled. But that’s not the case. Not now and not ever.
  On Monday, the Nobel Prize committee awarded the prize for economics to the three scholars who have done the most to explain this phenomenon. Two of the winners are Americans, Peter Diamond of MIT and Dale Mortensen of Northwestern. The third winner is Christopher Pissarides, who teaches at the London School of Economics and was born on Cyprus.
  Like most of economics, what they have found about why the jobless and ready-employers don’t find each other seems obvious. You have to find out there is job opening you are interested in. Employers need to get resumes (简历). It takes a while for both employers and employees to make the decision that this is what they want. And these guys came up with a frame-work to study the problem of why people stay unemployed longer than they should and what can be done about it.
  So what would today’s Nobel Prize winners do to solve the current problem of the unemployed? And does the awarding of the prize contribute to the politicians’ lowering joblessness?
  Speaking from his north London home, Pissarides told The Associated Press the announcement came as “a complete surprise” though his work had already helped shape thinking on both sides of the Atlantic.
  For example, the New Deal for Young People, a British government policy aimed at getting 18-24-year-olds back on the job market after long periods of unemployment, “is very much based on our work,” he said.
  “One of the key things we found is that it is important to make sure that people do not stay unemployed too long so they don’t lose their feel for the labor force,” Pissarides told reporters in London. “The ways of dealing with this need not be expensive training – it could be as simple as providing work experience.”
小题1:According to the writer, which is true about finding jobs?
A.It is always difficult to find a job.
B.Everyone can find a job in good times.
C.Contrary to popular belief, it is easier to find a job in bad times.
D.It is possible to find a job even in times as bad as now.
小题2: What is it that leads to their winning the prize?
A.They have found the reason for unemployment.
B.They have put forward a set of ideas to deal with unemployment.
C.They have found out why people don’t want to be employed.
D.They have long studied the problem of unemployment.
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Pissarides thinks his work surprising.
B.The work of Pissarides has influenced many economists.
C.Some of the winners’ ideas have been put into practice.
D.It is probable that unemployed young people in Britain benefit from Pissarides’ work.
小题4: According to Pissarides, _________ is effrctive in dealing with unemployment.
A.spending large sums of money on training
B.teaching some knowledge of economics
C.providing work experience
D.keeping people unemployed for some time
The world has changed and being intelligent isn’t normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale : it has a huge brain, but it still doesn’t know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can’t succeed in life because they can’t communicate well with the world around them.
Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.
This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can’t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty(傲慢的). And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.
It doesn’t help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don’t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people.
小题1: The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ____.
A.communication is more important than intelligence
B.human beings are always more intelligent than animals
C.humans should have the sense of protecting animals
D.the blue whale is the largest animal in the world
小题2: Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ____.
A.they should make their life the same with others
B.they should live in a better world than the others
C.they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence
D.other people’s opinion should be seriously considered
小题3: What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?
A.They become separated from other people and lose their support.
B.They often can’t get higher positions though they are intelligent.
C.They can’t persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas.
D.They often can’t make good use of their advantages.
小题4: We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ____.
A.great achievements B.more efforts
C.failure in the futureD.proper changes
