20.It's 5:00 in the morning when the alarm 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 face my body to finish each movement.As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired,but a smile is of my face.It's 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 5:00a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?Commitment.A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety,increases self-confidence 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.

分析 在家人的熟睡中,作者于早上5点起身,伴随着喜欢的DVD开始锻炼身体.虽然很累,但是却很高兴挑战了自己的身体极限.

作者想改善体型的坚定信念驱使着作者每天坚持早起锻炼,拒绝美食诱惑.

解答 32-35 DCBC
32.D 本题考查细节理解.根据第一段最后一句话"It's a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit."中because提示,但是作者真正要表达的意思在but之后.由but之后的句意可知作者脸上的微笑不是因为DVD的结束,而是因为来自于锻炼挑战了身体极限的成功.
33.C 本题考查主旨大意.根据第二段"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."中的一些人的表现"摇头""伤心""紧锁眉头""惊讶"可以看出他们对作者这种坚持的不理解.
34.B 本题考查词义推断.根据第三段中的两个问句"So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5:00a.m.?What gives me the reason to just say to ice cream?"有问必有答.再结合后面的回答"A commitment to change my life with a way…"可知,作者能够每天早上很早起床锻炼,抵御住美味的诱惑,需要坚定的信念和意志力.
35.C 本题考查推理判断.根据最后一段中的"…above all improves my body shape."中"above all(尤其,最重要的)"可知作者加强锻炼,克制饮食的主要目的是为了保持一个好的体型.

点评 一、速读全文,了解大意知主题.
  阅读能力一般指阅读速度和理解能力两个方面.阅读速度是阅读最基本的能力.考生必须在十分有限的时间内运用略读、扫读、跳读等技巧快速阅读,搜寻关键词、主题句,捕捉时空、顺序、情节、人物、观点,并且理清文章脉络,把握语篇实质.
二、看题干,带着问题读文章.
  首先要掌握问题的类型,客观信息题可以从文章中直接找到答案;而主观判断题考查的是对文章的感情基调等,这类题必须经过对作者的态度、意图以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理等.其次,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位.此法加强了阅读的针对性,提高了做题的准确率.
  三、逻辑推理,做好深层理解题.
  在实际阅读中,有时作者并未把意图说出来,阅读者要根据字面意思,通过语篇逻辑关系,研究细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,理解文章的寓义.要求读者对文字的表面信息进行分析、挖掘和逻辑推理,不能就事论事,以偏概全.推理题在提问中常用的词有:infer,imply,suggest,indicate等.
  四、猜词悟义,扫除阅读拦路虎.
  猜词是应用英语的重要能力.它不但需要准确无误地理解上下文,而且要有较大的泛读量,掌握或认识较多的课外词汇.我们要学会"顺藤摸瓜",通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义.

11.Your mobile is now much more than just a communication device-more like a remote control for your life.You still call it a"mobile"from habit,but it is an organizer,entertainment device,payment device and security(安全) center,all developed and manufactured by engineers.
What we do need is better mobiles and more intelligence.Because it knows your travel timetable it can check for problems on the roads or with the trains,giving you the best route into work.It can control your home,reprogramming the central heating if you need to get up earlier and keeping an eye on your home by connecting your mobile with the home security system.It is your payment system-you can pay for tickets for journeys or buy items in shops by placing the phone near a sensor(感应器).With an understanding of location,the mobile can also provide directions,or even tell you if your friends or family are nearby.
Usually it will start work even before you wake.It will work with your home entertainment system while you sleep to find programmes that will interest you and download them as a podcast to watch on the train or in other spare moments.It will intelligently work out what to do with incoming phone calls and messages.Because it knows your diary it will also know,for example,to direct voice calls to voicemail when you are in a meeting,perhaps providing a discrete text summary of the caller and the nature of their call.
With its understanding of almost all aspects of your life; many new services become possible.For example,a"Good Food"meal planning service could send daily suggestions for your evening meal based on learned preferences,previous selections made and the likely contents of your refrigerator.
Ten years ago the mobile was purely a device for making voice calls.Now it is a camera,MP3player,and texting device.This is only the start of an evolution that will turn it into our trusted and indispensable companion in life.

15.Stonehenge is probably the most important prehistoric monument in Britain.The Stonehenge we see today is the final stage that was completed about 3,500 years ago.
The first Stonehenge was a large earthwork,consisting of a ditch(沟),bank and the Aubrey holes,all probably built around 3,100BC.The holes themselves were not for the purpose of graves,but as a part of religious ceremony.
The second stage of Stonehenge started around 2,150BC.About 82 bluestones,some weighing 4tons each,is thought to have been carried by water along the south coast of Wales and up the rivers Avon and Frome,before being dragged overland again to near Warminster,about 6miles away.The final stage of the journey was mainly by water,down the river Wylye to Salisbury,then the Salisbury Avon to west Amesbury.These stones were set up in the center to form an incomplete double circle.
The third stage of Stonehenge,about 2,000BC,saw the arrival of the Sarsen stones,which were almost brought from Avebury,about 25 miles north of Stonehenge.
The final stage took place soon after 1,500BC when the bluestones were rearranged on the horseshoe and circle that we see today.

29.How long has Stonehenge existed?D
A.About 1,500years.
B.About 2,000years.
C.About 2,500years.
D.About 5,000years.
30.What was the probable use for the Aubrey holes?D
A.They were used as graves      
 B.They were used to attract tourists.
C.They were used to hide precious stones.
D.They were used for religious activities.
31.Which of the following places is nearest to Stonehenge?C

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Considering the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news, people are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked(透漏), their power to destroy is set free."

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What's the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

B. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

C. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

D. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that ________.

A. some stories make themselves feel uneasy

B. story?sharing highlights the importance of hard work

C. people are used to exposing their weaknesses

D. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

3.The writer aims to convince us to ________.

A. realize the importance of being honest when making friends

B. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

C. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

D. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
