6.She stared in the mirror.She was not seeing the reflection that looked back at her because she was lost in memories.In a second she was back.The reflection in the mirror confused her.She thought it was her mother looking back at her.But as reality sank in,she realized that it was her own reflection.
Gone was her beauty spot (美人痣) and in its place she saw a mole (痣).Gone were the dimples (酒窝) that once appeared on her cheeks.Where had they gone,she thought to herself?When did those wrinkles appear on her face and where did they come from?
So caught up in life's daily chores(杂务),she had not noticed that time had passed,until today when she happened to stop and really look into the mirror.She was no longer a bright-eyed 20year old so full of hope.
It was then that she realized it,but she knew deep down in her heart that if she were given the chance to have her time over again,she would not change a thing.The years appeared to have flown by at an incredible rate and her light was indeed fading by the minute.
She also noticed that there was warmth in her eyes that had not been there years ago.As she stared at this stranger in the mirror,she looked deep into her eyes.She could see the wisdom and kindness that shone out.
In the past she had constantly worried about what people thought of her,but finally,after years of trying to live up to others'expectations,she saw beauty,real beauty.
"You are beautiful,"she whispered at the mirror and this time she meant it.She really,really meant it.

A.She missed her mother very much.
B.She looked a lot like her mother.
C.The woman in the mirror looked so old.
D.She was remembering good times she had spent with her mother.

A.ab        B.bc           C.bd            D.cd
59.What does the underlined word mean in the Paragraph4?D

分析 她盯着镜子.她没有看到镜子里的映像,因为她沉浸在回忆中.一秒后她回过神.镜子里的映像使她困惑.她以为是她的母亲看着她.但随着现实的沉淀,她意识到这是她自己的映像.
她的美人痣已消去,取而代之的是一颗痣.曾经在她脸上的酒窝也已不见.它们去哪里了?她对自己说.皱纹不知何时爬上她的脸,它们都是从哪里来的?
所以,在生活的每日杂务中,她没有注意到时间已经过去,直到今天,她恰好停下来,真正看着镜子.她不再是一个有着明眸的20岁少女,充满希望.
那时她意识到了,但她深深知道,如果她有机会再过一次,她不会改变任何东西.这几年似乎以不可思议的速度飞行,她的光彩真的在一分钟内就褪色了.
她还注意到,她的眼睛里有些温暖,这是几年前所没有的.当她在镜子里盯着这个陌生人时,她深深地看着她的眼睛.她看到了闪亮的智慧和善意.
在过去,她不断担心人们对她的想法,但最后,经过多年努力达到他人的期望,她看到了美丽,真正的美丽.
"你很漂亮,"她在镜子里低声说,这一次她确实是这个意思.她真的、真的是这个意思.

解答 57-60 CDDB
57.C.推理判断题.根据文中第二段"Gone was her beauty spot (美人痣) and in its place she saw a mole (痣).Gone were the dimples (酒窝) that once appeared on her cheeks.Where had they gone,she thought to herself?When did those wrinkles appear on her face and where did they come from?"可知她的美人痣和酒窝不见了,有了皱纹,才会觉得镜子里的是母亲,故选C.The woman in the mirror looked so old.
58.D.推理判断题.根据文中第一段"The reflection in the mirror confused her.She thought it was her mother looking back at her."可知作者对自己的外貌的老去感到很惊讶,而文中第四段"she knew deep down in her heart that if she were given the chance to have her time over again,she would not change a thing"意为"她哪怕重新来过,也不会有任何改变",表明她并不后悔自己如今的变化,故选D.surprised and unregretful.
59.D.词义辨析题.文中第四段"by the minute"表明时间过得很快,瞬间即逝,故incedible意为"不可置信地",故选D.
60.B.主旨大意题.本文中的她最开始是很惊讶自己的改变,但并不后悔,后来慢慢发现自己达到了他人的期望,这种充满智慧和善良的美丽让她发现岁月在自己身上留下的光辉,文中最后一段""You are beautiful,"she whispered at the mirror and this time she meant it.She really,really meant it.",是她真的发现了自己身上的美,故选B.随着时间,会出现另一种美丽.

点评 本文讲述了她对自己虽外貌变得有岁月痕迹但内心更加聪慧坚强的这样一种改变的认知,从一开始的惊讶到后来真正欣赏自己的美丽,需要学生仔细斟酌文章,理解她的心路历程的改变,此类文章理解上难度要更大,因为大多数题型是推理判断,需要读者从文章字面意思推敲出背后真正的含义,并了解作者的写作意图.

16.Would the world be more peaceful if women were in charge?A challenging new book by the Harvard University psychologist Steven Pinker says that the answer is"yes".
In The Better Angels of Our Nature,Pinker presents data showing that human violence,while still very much with us today,has been gradually declining.Moreover,he says,"over the long sweep of history,women have been and will be a peaceful force.Traditional war is a man's game:tribal women never band together to attack neighboring villages."As mothers,women tend to maintain peaceful conditions in which to bring up their children.
Skeptics(怀疑者)immediately reply that women have not made war simply because they have rarely been in power.If they were empowered as leaders.the disorder of the world would force them to make the same waxlike decisions that men do.Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir,and Indira Gandhi were powerful women;all of them led their countries to war.
But it is also true that these women rose to leadership by playing according to the political rules of"a man's world."It was their success consistent with male values that enabled their rise to leadership in the first place.In a world in which women were in the majority of leadership positions,they might behave differently in power.
So we are left with the broader question:does gender(性别)really matter in leadership?In terms of traditional opinion,various psychologieM studies show that men tend towards the hard power ofcommand,while women are cooperative and naturally understand the soft power of attraction and persuasion.
The key choices about war and peace in our future will depend not on gender,but on how leaders combine hard and soft power skills to produce smart policies.Both men and women will make those decisions.
61.Which of the following does Pinker agree?B

17.When it comes to President Obama,most of his personal business is already known by the public.Personal information about his children,Malia and Sasha,however,has been kept a little more under wraps.
The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House,as well as in general.See how the first family educates their children:
The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips,even if it's not required by their school.
Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekends,and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.
Malia and Sasha have to play two sports:one they choose and one selected by their mother.
Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服) before she leaves for college.
The girls have to eat their vegetables,and if they say they are not hungry,they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.
While these might be shocking to some,Michelle said,"They're not little princess.It's just basic rules,boundaries,and expectations that we would have normally."
Michelle also mentions another set of rules:
The girls must do their chores(家务),though the White House has a large staff.Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.
They must play a team sport,because it's about learning how to play on a team,how to lose and how to win gracefully.

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well-rounded as possible.What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?
