“I do not think anything that I say can be
of the slightest public interest，” he said.
“I do not think...”否定前移，“that
I say”作anything的定语。
句意：我认为我说的话是最不值得公共关注的。
语篇解读：数学天才Perelman博士因没有被选进俄罗斯数学研究所和母亲隐居在圣彼得堡，虽然他由于解决数学界世纪难题而震撼了数学界，却放弃了一百万美元的奖励金，Perelman坚持说自己不值得媒体和公众的关注。
6．Grigory Perelman lives with
his mother because ________.
A．he has to look after her
B．his mother has a million
dollars
C．he has been out of work for a
long time
D．he is badly paid at the
mathematical institute
解析：细节理解题。第一段介绍Grigory Perelman生活状况及原因，他和母亲住在圣彼得堡一所简陋的房里和母亲一起靠她一个月30英镑的退休金过日子，因为他已多年没有工作。由此看出C项正确。
答案：C
7. The phrase“absolutely ungifted and untalented
person”shows that Dr Perelman felt ________.
A．angry B．discouraged
C．proud D．confident
解析：细节理解题。第三段解释Perelman生活艰苦的原因：由于圣彼得堡的数学研究所没有选中他，据他朋友说，他就感觉自己是一个绝对没有天赋不聪明的人。从那时起他便不再有自信、与世隔绝，由此看出Perelman感觉没有信心，失望。
答案：B
8．Grigory Perelman refused to
accept the prize because ________.
A．he thought the prize was
worthless
B．he didn't believe the news
C．he couldn't afford to travel
to Madrid
D．he showed no interest in it
解析：细节理解题。第五段说明Dr
Perelman放弃奖金的原因。第一句在圣彼得堡家中接受采访时Dr
Perelman坚持说他不值得关注，并且对奖金不感兴趣。所以D项正确。
答案：D

that Grigory Perelman ________.
A．solved the most difficult
maths problem
B．has a strong personality
C．wanted to make himself known
to all

press
解析：推理判断题。文章第一段介绍Perelman尽管生活困难，但他放弃了一百万美元的奖金，第五、六、七段写他尽管解决了数学界的世纪难题，但他不想成为人们关注的焦点，不想引起人们对他的注意。所以B项正确。
答案：B
10．What's the best title for the
passage?
A．Great Mathematician Leads
Simple Life
B．Maths Genius Abandons a
Milliondollar Prize
C．Mathematics Institute Offers
Grigory D＄1 Million
D．One of the World's Seven
“Millennium Problems” Solved
解析： 主旨大意题。文章主要报道数学天才Perelman解决了一道数学世纪难题，却放弃一百万美元的奖励金的事例，所以文章以B项为标题比较合适。
答案：B

Good afternoon，everyone！It's great honor to have the opportunity
to be with you today.The topic of
my speech is “Thank you，all my dear teachers”．
How time flies！The
memory of the first day still stays fresh in my mind when we were packed with a
lot of luggage and filled with curiosity about the life in Senior High School.
Thanks for all that you've done to us in these years.It is
you who open up our eyes and ignite our thirst for knowledge.When we are
depressed by a difficult task or a conflict with our peers，it is you who come to us and guide us to
be more open minded.When we get bored with the tight schedule，it is your humor that fills our class
with laughter.
In about one year we will head for our future college life.We
will bear in mind your words of wisdom and be determined to be a role model and
a positive influence like you.
Thank you for listening.
