A [2015 •莆田一中、漳州一中、泉州五中三校联考]

They will be here in a minute, surely. I'll just stare at my shoes a little while longer to pass the time. Wish I'd brought a book. Hang on, though, what if I,ve got the wrong day? The wrong place? Have the clocks gone back? No, damn it; I'm off home. Whoever I'm waiting for clearly lives in a different time zone from me.

I am always 10 minutes early, so if you're 10 minutes late, I've been foot-tapping for 20 minutes. I know it's not fair to hold the first 10 against you, but I just can't help my?self. I never wait more than 20 minutes beyond the meeting time we decided upon, not for anyone, ever.

OK, that's not .strictly true. I have, on occasion, hung around anxiously and heart-brokenly for up to an hour, but the bitter anger that follows is never a pretty sight. If you've made me wait that long, you will wish you hadn't bothered turning up at all.

How come some people are always late and some are al?ways on time? If I can manage to be punctual, why can't you? Because I left a hot cup of coffc^' at home while you sat down to roll another cigarette. Because I spilled jam on my pants and quickly wiped it off whereas you took time to change your whole outfit. Because I switched off midway through a TV series? but you had to ride out the end, didn't you? And don't even think about blaming the traffic. How do you think I got here? By flying carpet? Only carelessness or arrogance(傲慢) can explain a habit of lateness.

Some people are always late because they can't make re?alistic calculations about how long it takes to do things. There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Just deal with it. Painful as it may be, you have to accept that, as you've agreed to meet at eight and it's now a quarter to eight, you don't have time to phone your girlfriend.

Much worse, though, are those with big egos (自我). Being late is just rude. Being late on purpose really means that you hate the person you are meeting.

Of course, there are some perfectly lovely latecomers out there. I just never wait long enough to find out.

1.Which of the following words best describes how the author feels in the first paragraph?

A. Anxious.                             B. Curious.

d.   Being picky when choosing clothes.

e.    Their realistic calculations of how long it takes to do things.

A. a, b       B.  a, c        C.  b, d, e    D.  c, d, e

3.We can learn from the article that the author . 

A. is tolerant of people being late

 B.      has missed lots of meetings

C.      has trouble getting along with others

D.     has a strong preference for good timekeeping

4. According to the author, people should .

A [2015'山东临沂高三二模〗I often teach about happiness and what has become clear is this : there are some qualities unhappy people always have. Here are some of them.

Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times. They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselves out of it as soon as possible. Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the " look what happened to me" attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side.

Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them. Generally open and friendly towards people they meet,happy people foster(培养) a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with an open heart. Unhappy people are distrustful of most people they meet and think strangers can't be trusted. Unfor?tunately, this behaviour slowly closes all the chances of meet?ing new friends.

Unhappy people believe someone else's good fortune is stolen from them. They believe there's not enough goodness to go around and always compare others' against theirs. This leads to jealousy(忌妒).Happy people know that others' good luck and circumstances are just signs of what they also can a-chieve if they try hard enough. They believe in unlimited pos?sibilities and don't get stuck in thinking one person's good fortune limits their possible outcomes in life.

There's only so much space between the two ears. Un?happy people fill that space with constant worry or fear. Hap?py people experience fear or worry too,but they make an im?portant difference between feeling it and living with it. When fear or worry crosses happy people's mind, they'll ask them?selves if there's action they can take to prevent their fear or worry from happening and they take it. If not , they realize they're spinning in fear and they lay it down.

  1. Paragraph 2 mainly shows that unhappy people tend to

A.    focus on what they really want

B.     get worried about what will happen

C.     stay focused on the past misfortunes

D.    find a way to live through hard times

A. like making some new friends

B.      hate seeing others with good fortune

C.      are more likely to be cheated by strangers

D.     believe they can get good luck by working hard

 3.What is implied about happy people?

 A.     They don't think life is hard.

B.     They hardly ever fear anything.

C.     They try to get out of their fear or worry.

D.     They don't believe in every people they meet.

4. How is the text mainly developed?

There are distinctions between reading for informa?tion and reading for understanding. 9  

The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 10 Such ma?terials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.

The second sense is the one in which we read some?thing that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding.

11 Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more, not remembering more information.

What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. 12 Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, suc?cess of communication is achieved.

13 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or informa?tion can probably be read for entertainment as well.

A.    Thus, we can employ the word "reading" in two distinct senses.

B.    Such communication between the unequals must be possible.

C.    We can get access to the content of those materials easily.

D.    The writer must be "superior" to the reader in un?derstanding.

E.    The writer should have a better communicating skill.

F.    Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading―entertainment.

G.    Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.

Some say college is wasted on the young. So many of us look back at our own college years and realize what we could have done differently to make the most of them. While we can't go back, we certainly can offer our sons and daughters our best advice to help them make the right choices in college. Hopefully, they will have fewer regrets than we do. Following are five guide?lines parents can share with their college-bound kids to put the whole experience in perspective.

EDUCATION IS YOUR FIRST PRIORITY

As soon as you arrive on campus, there will be competing interests. Feel free to check them out but always remember that you are there first and foremost for your education. Go to class prepared and on time. Be engaged during class. Make sure your professor knows you and realizes that you care.

BE RESPONSIBLE

There are many layers of responsibility. Do what you say you will do and, if you can't, own up to it early and communicate clearly.   But being responsible isn't just about meeting your commitments; it is also about taking care of you, your body, and your friends. For ex?ample, more than 1800 college students die annually from alcohol-related injuries. Look out for yourself and other people. Make moderate, sensible decisions so you aren't reeling from the consequences later. 

TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

Incredible opportunities will present themselves: studying abroad, interning at a unique place, trying new things. Don't let fear prevent you from taking advantage of them. There may never be so much time or as many resources devoted to your betterment again in your life. Say yes to opportunities that will help you grow.

FIND AND BE A MENTOR

Some of the best lessons available to us can come outside of the classroom in the form of a mentor. One of the most powerful growth opportunities is being a men?tor. Early on, find someone on campus who you feel can help you grow and develop a relationship with him or her. Also find someone for you to mentor. You will reinforce and enrich your own learning experience by teaching someone else.

GET THE JOB DONE

It is natural to occasionally feel you want to quit, and it will make more sense to you when you go to find a full-time job. Resist that urge. As Jocelyn Negron-Ri-os, a mother of two, who is currently completing her degree, advises, "No matter how difficult it seems, keep at it because however insurmountable it feels now, multiply that by 10, 000 and that is how it feels when you are in your thirties with a full-time job and a family and are trying to pursue a degree.,,

5. According to the passage, the most important thing for college students is .

A. taking part in different activities

B. working hard to get a degree

C. seizing every chance to try new things

D. improving themselves by learning from the oth?ers

6. Which of the following about college life is TRUE?

A. Passing on what you've learned in college can help you enrich your learning experience.

B. Make sure that you are responsible for yourself rather than others.

C. Professors will not assess your performances in class but the grades you get in exams.

D. You can make full use of the opportunity when?ever you want.

7. What can we infer from the words said by Jocelyn in the last paragraph?

A. Persistence is the key to success when you meet

with difficulties in your learning process.

B. It is better if you gain more working experience before you finish your education.

C. As long as you work hard, you can gain a degree even when you are in your thirties.

D. Youth is the best time to learn since you have less burden.

8. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To give some rules for the college students.

B. To call on the students to make full use of college years.

C. To summarize some tips for parents to share with their children.

D. To analyze the benefits and difficulties of college life.
