题目内容

【题目】Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren't just important to us; they make the world what it is.

Scientists say that gravitational(重力的)force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even complete strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it's there.

Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster, or a school fund-raiser, one thing is certain--it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it's a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference, Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.

Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing an essay, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists to discover cures for diseases, and athletes to become champions. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that's one less to make the next time.

There is an infinite(无穷的)number of things we value, but without love, generosity and perseverance, we just don't think that our life or the world would be the way it is.

【1】The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to ______ ”.

A. the world B. gravitational force

C. value D. experience

【2】To be generous, the author thinks _____.

A. you needn't make efforts

B. you should be qualified

C. you should give all you have

D. you will find it good to give

【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Perseverance is the only thing that can help us to achieve success.

B. People don't understand the life they are experiencing at all.

C. We can find love in complete strangers sometimes,

D. What the world is like depends on gravity and love.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Success and Failure. B. Three Values.

C. Endless Love. D. Life full of Hope.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】C

【4】B

【解析】

试题分析:本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了我们应该拥有的三种品质——爱,宽容和毅力。生活中爱哪里都有,有可能来自家人朋友,但也可能来自一个陌生人。而有了爱,人们也应该变得更加宽容;虽然宽容很难做到,但如果做到了我们又会收获一些别的东西。最后,我们也应该有一种坚持不懈的毅力去面对生活中的一切事情。

【1】A推理判断题。根据第二段Scientists say that gravitational(重力的)force makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go round可知科学家们认为是重力让地球转动起来的,但又有的人说是爱让它转动起来。根据此处句意可判断句中意思是不同的人对地球转动的不同看法,所以此处it是指地球,故选A。

【2】D推理判断题。根据第三段Most of all, being generous is not something you need any qualifications for, but no matter what you do, it can make a difference, Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance可知宽容并不需要任何条件,但是不管你做了什么,宽容都能让你的生活变得有些不一样。有些时候可能宽容需要付出一些努力,但它也会让你变得更加有耐心。根据此句句意可知这一段讲的是作者认为虽然慷慨很困难,但它也会带给你别的东西,所以我们要试着去宽容并且学会给予,故选D。

【3】C推理判断题。根据第二段Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even complete strangers可知哪里都有爱:家人,朋友,甚至是陌生人都很有爱。由此句意可判断我们有时候可以在陌生人那里找到爱心,故选C。

【4】B推理判断题。根据对全文的理解和判断可知文章第一段和第二段是在讲第一种品质-爱;而第三段讲的是第二种品质-宽容;第四段讲的是第三种品质-毅力,不屈不挠。由此可判断整篇文章没有针对某一种个别的品质来讲,而是将这三种品质融合起来讲,所以只有选项B最符合语境,故选B。

【题目】It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.

In recent years, many writers have begun to speak of the ‘decline of class ’ and ‘classless society ’ in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.

But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging study of pubic opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in a particular class; 73 percent agreeed that class was still a vital part of British society.; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an imprtant part of British society. Britain seems to have a love ofstratification.

One unchanging aspect of a British person’s class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during the 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice. Most people said this accent sounds ‘educated ’ and ‘soft ’. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的) city accents. These accents were seen as ‘common ’ and ‘ugly ’. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.

In recent years, however, young upper midder-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song ‘ Common People ’ puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may ‘ want to live like common people ’ they can never appreciate the reality of a working class life.
