【题目】 An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire (退休). He told his boss that he planned to leave the building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife, enjoying his big family. He would miss the pay check each week, but he needed to retire. He believed they could get by (勉强过活) even on a small amount of money.
The boss was sorry to see his good worker leave and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but soon afterwards he was found to be absent-minded. He used shoddy materials to build the house. How disappointing it was to end his career in this way!
When the carpenter finished all his work, the boss came to inspect (检查) the new house as usual. But after that, he handed the front-door key to the carpenter, saying. “This is your house, my gift to you.”
What a shock! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the worst house he had ever built in his life.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or put up a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves (值得) to be lived comfortably. Life is a do-it yourself project. Your life today is the result of your attitudes (态度) and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
【1】According to the article, the carpenter .
A.was too old to build a fine houseB.had a large family to raise
C.was not in need of moneyD.was not welcome
【2】The carpenter was when he learned that the house he had built was for himself.
A.excitedB.delightedC.worriedD.surprised
【3】What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the text?
A.We should build a house wisely.B.Building a house is like building a life.
C.We should pursue (追求) a comfortable life.D.We should have the right attitude towards life.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】D
【3】D
【解析】

【题目】阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
In the United States, most cities have public libraries. Inside most libraries are hundreds of books-and sometimes more!-many of which are available for taking home. Of course, you have to bring any book you borrow back to the library when you're done.
Libraries help people find information. As the ways people find information change, libraries need to change, too. The Internet is a tool that helps people find information much faster than if they were to look in books, so a lot of libraries have begun using computers and technology to help people keep learning.
The New York Public Library is the most famous library in New York City. When the main branch was opened in 1911, it had a collection of over one million books. Outside this main building, two giant stone lions guard the entrance. Since the library is over one hundred years old, bringing in new technology is not easy.
The New York Public Library now has computers in every building. You can use the computers to go on the Internet or to write a paper. The librarians will help if you have a question and there are even free classes to help people learn how to use new computer programs. But this is only the beginning of how the library wants to use technology.
In the basement of the library, there is a room filled with computer programmers and designers who are bringing new technology to the library. This place is called the NYPL Labs. Ben Vershbow runs the NYPL Labs. He wants to help the library reach more people. Ben runs projects using "crowdsourcing."
"Crowdsourcing" means getting a lot of people involved to help with a project. Ben is currently using the Internet to find people to help with the library's collection of menus. The library has thousands and thousands of old menus. You can see what people ate in the year 1900 and find out how much that food cost.
In the past, only people in New York could use the New York Public Library. Now, the library is online and everyone can enjoy it. Thanks to technology, we have a new kind of library.
【1】What do libraries help people find?
【2】Which library is the most famous library in the New York City?
【3】Why does Ben Vershbow run the NYPL Labs?
【4】What can we find with the old menus in the New York Public Library?
【5】What does the passage mainly talk about?

【题目】Dear Victor:
I am a college student. Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students. Some of my roommates are very interested in them. They not only play games in their free time, but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off, and they regard games as part of life. I’ve begged(乞求) them to give it up, but they wouldn’t listen to me. It has become a rather big problem. Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?
Ted
Dear Ted:
Drop it. Your roommates, as grown-ups, can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn’t break school rules or violate(防碍) other people’s interests. Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation(放松) from hard study. If they play too often, have little time to study, and they will reap what they have sown, but you will not. Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍). However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep. If they aren’t angry with you, they will stop talking. But be polite and friendly. Perhaps, in return, join them in a game or two.
【1】According to the first letter, many college students enjoy__________.
A.playing computer gamesB.searching information on the Internet
C.sending e-mailsD.buying things online
【2】Ted wants his roommates to___________.
A.break their computersB.sell their computers to teachers
C.stop playing computer gamesD.play games in the day, not at night
【3】According to the second letter, some college students____________.
A.can violate school rules or other people’s interests
B.have their rights to quarrel with Ted
C.can relax themselves while playing games on the net
D.can study even better if they play games on the net
【4】Victor asks Ted to__________.
A.report to the teachersB.harm his good name in the dormitory
C.quarrel with his roommatesD.learn how to get on well with others
【5】In the second letter, the underlined part(划线部分) means__________.
A.自食其果B.随心所欲地做事C.回家种庄稼D.逃避责任

【题目】Complete the following passage with the words or phrased in the box. Each one can only be used once(将下列单词或词组填入空格。每空格限填一词,每词或词组只能填一次)
A. fast B. waited C. during D. in a flash E. myself
Everybody knows that it is dangerous to cross the street without looking both ways in China. However, I had a different experience in Berkeley, a beautiful city in California, US.
I didn't know what to do when I had to cross the roads【1】 my first couple of days there: I wondered whether I should let the car go first or not? Based on my old experience back in China, I would certainly let the car go. "Who wants to be knocked down by a car?" I thought to 【2】.
One day, I was checking for cars while I was waiting to go to the other side of the road. An SUV came fast, toward me, so I stopped and 【3】. However, to my great surprise, the car stopped right in front of me. To be honest, I was a little confused because in China drivers usually try hard to drive as 【4】as possible to cross the road before people step out. Not knowing what to do for a moment, I saw no sign the car was going to move, so I offered a "signal" to let him go first.
A. Because of B. peace C. again and again D. safe E. After
The driver waved to me with a gentle smile, seemingly saying: "Go buddy! You first!" 【5】 a polite battle, I gave in and walked onto the crossing first.
This took place nearly six months ago, but the scene still comes back to my mind【6】﹒Good road-crossing manners between driver and pedestrian(行人)mean 【7】, fewer accidents and most importantly, respect between people. I really hope that more Chinese people will realize this and make crossing the street 【8】 for all the people.
