D
Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental(基本的) questions in life.
Q: Could you introduce yourself first?
A: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn(战争毁掉的) area. Right now I'm a web designer.
Q: What are your great memories?
A: My parents used to take me to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday, because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
A: If I could change something in my life, I'd change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn't matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
Q: How do you get along with your parents?
A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I've got. That's our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项。 August 2011 was my last month before the departure to Beijing. But I didn’t know that August would bring me an unforgettable meeting with one of the famous traditional Chinese kungfu masters, Sui Yunjiang. He came to my city with a series of conferences and was to stay for a fortnight. I was asked to be his interpreter and had to accompany him and his wife during all that time, as well as Viktor who was the organizer and the host.
According to the Chinese tradition, we called Sui Yunjiang master Sui shifu or Sui laoshi. His personality impressed me deeply. Maybe it was a fate(yuanfen), or something other, but it was not the first time I heard his name, since he used to come to my town every two years, mostly in August. However, I never saw him in person, nor did the translation for him. I lacked knowledge in wushu, but the master was very patient trying to explain to me every single word that I couldn’t comprehend. He was already in his sixties at that time, but, giving credit to his sharp mind, he could find a way with the youngest disciples(门徒) as well as the older ones. The two weeks that I had spent with that amazing family inspired me and I continued my kungfu practices in Beijing.
During all these three years now that I have known him since our first meeting, he never stopped surprising me with his strong, yet sensitive personality. Our lessons go far beyond simply learning kungfu technics. His teaching is more about life, about enjoying every single moment of it because it will not happen twice, about training our will and overcoming difficulties, about harmonious existence, and building relationships with other people. After every kungfu lesson, we are welcome into his house to drink tea. This is another lesson being taught — the mastery of chadao, or tea ceremony.
Miracles are everywhere. For me, a miracle is meeting Sui Yunjiang. I love being a journalist, interviewing and writing about people from different paths of life, but Sui laoshi is the only person who made such a strong impression on me.
(1)How did the writer meet Sui Yunjiang?
A.By being asked to be his interpreter.
B.By travelling in China.
C.By interviewing Chinese kungfu masters.
D.By discussing how to drink tea.
(2)The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____________.
A.privately
B.mentally
C.personally
D.physically
(3)Which of the following best describes Sui Yunjiang?
A.Talented and productive.
B.Serious and boring.
C.Famous and unhappy.
D.Patient and friendly.
(4)From the last paragraph we can learn that____________.
A.miracles are everywhere
B.meeting Sui Yunjiang is unforgettable
C.being a journalist is the writer’s dream
D.the writer loves writing stories about life
(5)Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Meeting the Master

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Singles' Day falls on every November 11th. No one is quite sure exactly who first thought it up, and the most widely-accepted story is that it emerged from the dorms of Nanjing University in 1993 when four single male students got together to discuss how to break free of the loneliness of single life. One suggested that because of the ones in the date, November 11 would be a good day to organize activities for singles.
Singles' Day, started by a small group of friends, gradually grew into something like the anti-Valentine's Day, a day China's single young people could use as an excuse to get together and have fun together.
Originally about being with friends and having fun, now Singles' Day is about shopping — mostly online shopping. How did this happen?It's a long story, but the short answer is Alibaba.
By the late 2000s, most of China's Internet users were familiar with Singles' Day. There might have been some small shops online and offline offering sales on that day earlier, but no major company until Alibaba launched its first Singles' Day online sale in 2009.
In that first year, Alibaba was the only major ecommerce company to offer a sale, and it featured just 27 brands offering discounts via its T-mall marketplace. The sale was definitely successful, but it wasn't enough to redefine the holiday on its own.
In the following year, Alibaba went bigger, offering more brands and deeper discounts. But other companies had noticed the potential of the 2009 sales bonanza and decided to follow suit. E-commerce platforms like JD had their first major Singles' Day sales in 2010, and overnight Singles' Day went from a T-mall sale to something that was beginning to look like Cyber Monday in some western countries.
Over the next few years, Alibaba, JD, and other Chinese e-commerce players all expanded their one-day discounts, and sales grew exponentially(以指数方式). On Singles' Day in 2012, Alibaba's marketplaces, Taobao and T-mall, did about $3 billion in sales. In 2013 that number nearly doubled, and Chinese shoppers had obliterated America's Cyber Monday spending records in just the first few hours of the sale. And it's only getting bigger.

【题目】Elephants in Uganda are starting to come close to villages near national parks. The big animals are a real danger to people.

So, the Uganda Wildlife Authority has been giving people new tools to keep the elephants away: vuvuzelas. They are plastic instruments some fans use at sports events.

The instruments make a loud sound elephants do not like. The animals leave, and no one is harmed. A spokesperson for the Uganda Wildlife Authority says vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants. That is important because an elephant that feels threatened is more likely to attack. So far, no one has reported an elephant attacking in answer to a vuvuzela.

Officials and villagers have tried other ways to stop elephants from coming near farms and houses. They have built beehives – houses for flying insects that sting. They have hung ropes covered in spicy oil. They have dug long, deep holes. And they have used guns, called A-K47s.

An official from the Uganda Wildlife Authority explains that people shoot the gun in the air to scare the elephant. But over time, the elephants have stopped being afraid of the sound of the gun. They only look at the shooter and wave their ears.

Another official for the Uganda Wildlife Authority, Gessa Simblicious, says one elephant-prevention solution will not work everywhere in Uganda. And one day, elephants may accept the vuvuzela noise, just as they do the sound of the A-K47.

But right now, vuvuzelas are an effective, non-violent and fun way to deal with a serious problem.

1What’s vuvuzelas?

A. New tools some fans use at sports events.

B. New tool to save the elephants.

C. Plastic instruments to keep the elephants away.

D. Plastic instruments to threaten the elephants.

2Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Vuvuzelas work because they do not threaten the elephants.

B. An elephants will attack human being in answer to a vuvuzela,

C. Villagers have no way to stop elephants.

D. The elephants are always afraid of the sound of the gun.

3People shoot the gun in the air in order to ________.

A. shoot the elephants away

B. let the elephants stop being afraid of the sound

C. avoid the elephants hurting people

D. scare the elephants to leave the village

4The author believes that ________.

A. elephants are not afraid of vuvuzelas

B. Vuvuzelas can not stop elephants

C. vuvuzelas can solve this serious problem forever

D. elephants are used to the sound of vuvuzelas now

【题目】More and more people, especially in developed countries, arc becoming older. In the United States there are currently over 40 million people aged 65 and over, more than 10 million are over 85. Caring for these senior citizens is becoming a necessity, and a big industry.

Traditionally, care for the elderly has taken place in an extended family, where grandparents live at home and are helped by other family members. However, as more and more young people enter the work force full time they cannot care for their parents or grandparents any more. There are more than 10,000 organizations that provide care for the elderly. More than 1,000 were founded last year alone. Ordinary people quit their jobs and start private care centers, where they offer senior citizens their services.

One of the most difficult aspects of such an organization is finding the right people to do the job. Caring for the elderly is not an easy task. It requires skill and patience. Among daily tasks are preparing meals, washing older people, or simply keeping them company. Many care workers quit because they find it very depressing(令人沮丧的). It is important to help the elderly stay mobile as long as possible. When they cannot walk or climb stairs they need more help: thus costs become higher. Care workers concentrate on exercises to help them stay mobile. In many cases assisted living replaces round-the-clock health care. Elderly people need help with some daily tasks but can mostly live on their own. It also costs less than full nursing care.

While wealthy Americans turn to private care centers, those who are poorer cannot pay for the services because Medicare does not cover it. Not all countries offer health care provided by the state. In Asia and Africa, for example, older people are cared for by family members.

1Why are more and more private care centers started?

A. Many people can't find other jobs. B. Caring for the elderly is an easy task.

C. Many young people take full time jobs. D. Care workers can get well paid.

2Who pays for the service in the care center?

A. Medicare. B. The state. C. The family. D. Care centers.

3What is the third paragraph in the text mainly about?

A. Reasons to start a care center. B. Skills that care workers need.

C. Costs for nursing care. D. Difficulties in running a care centre.

4How many daily tasks for nursing care are mentioned in the text?

A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
