    When was the last time you were late and expected someone to understand? How about the time you left your dishes on the table for someone else to clean up? Or perhaps you left the lid on the peanut butter jar loose, and the person after you opened the jar to find it dry and not fresh.
    Often, we are eager to ignore our own faults. But we have higher standards when it comes to our expectations of someone else who has the same expectations. We need to as equally understand the weaknesses of others and excuse them just as we excuse ourselves.
    Two of my strengths are punctuality(准时) and organization. I like to meet deadlines when they are due and keep the space around my computer neat and orderly. But sometimes things happen, and I slip from being perfect. When this happens, I show myself mercy and lower the standard for myself. However, if someone else makes a mess around my computer, I might not show them as much mercy as I show myself. If it can happen to me, then I should be willing to realize that it can happen to someone else as well.
    I am not suggesting that we should not work on improving our faults, or that it should be right to be late or leave a mess behind us. Although we should always be working towards self-improvement, we shouldn’t have a double standard that says we are excused from our own mistakes but we cannot excuse someone else. If we are not 100-percent perfect, we shouldn’t expect others to be.
    Mercy shows an understanding heart. If we are blind to our own faults, we will not be very merciful towards others. Showing a little mercy goes a long way when life’s little mistakes take place. When the tables are turned, showing mercy towards someone’s shortcomings could cause us to receive some in return.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we can learn that________________.
    A．we all make a mess sometimes
    B．we all need private space
    C．we should accept others’ help with gratitude

    A．“When good luck comes”B．“When benefits increase”
    C．“When our mistakes happen”D．“When the situation is changed”
    小题4:What would be the best title for this passage?
    A．Changing Bad Daily HabitsB．Excusing Our Own Faults
    C．Being Merciful Toward OthersD．Working Toward Self-improvement

    小题1:A
    小题2:B
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    试题分析 本文是记叙文，每个人都有犯错的时候，要宽恕才能同样的得到回报，互相理解。
    小题1:A推断题。第一段列举很多种状况，每个人都有一团糟的。故选A项。

    小题3:D 推断题。Showing a little mercy goes a long way when life’s little mistakes take place，当犯错时表现出一些仁慈来，故下文应是当情况发生改变时，对别人的缺点的宽恕会使我们得到回报。故选 D项。

    Most friendships die a nature death: people move, change jobs, or start different stages of life. Other friendships, however, end unexpectedly.  When a friendship is over and you don’t understand why, it can be especially painful. Sometimes a friend ends your relationship without telling you why.
    The loss of friendship might be worth reflecting on. Knowing when a friendship is over and why it ends may help you build stronger friendships in the future.
    ●See if you can find a problem.
    When a friendship is over, examine your relationship. Perhaps you remember your friend complaining that you’re always late. Maybe you seldom return your friend’s phone calls. When a friend ends your relationship, try to find out the reasons why the friendship is over.
    ● Writer a letter to your friend .
    Express you feelings about the friendship. Do you miss seeing them? Do you have any regrets? Would you act differently if you were still friends? Make it an honest communication.
    ● Express you feeling of being hurt or anger.
    Write or talk about how you feel in a letter. When a friendship is over, it’s important to communicate exactly how hurt you feel, and why. Write until you have nothing left to say. When a friend ends your relationship, you do have the right to express yourself.
    ● Communicate that you are open to pick up the friendship .
    When a friendship is over and you want to reconnect some day, send Christmas, or birthday cards. Say hi and send greetings through mutual(共有的) friends. When a friendship is over, don’t give up until you’re ready.
    ● Decide to make your present friendships better.
    An adviser once told me that simply talking about your relationship strengthens your relationship. Talk to your present friends. Are they happy with your friendship? If a friend ends your relationship, learn something from it.
    小题1:The underlined phrase “reflecting on” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to      .

    Earlier this year I traveled to Turkana in Kenya. I was there to take pictures of the “broken food system”.
    As a special visitor, I was greeted with songs and dances. The locals used to sing and dance all the time but now Turkana is silent and has been for some years. No one is singing or dancing any more because they have no food, nothing to celebrate. Many of them are surviving on a little corn a day and water, which they can get just every two days.
    I met Tede Lokapelo, a local farmer who described the experience of a six-year drought(干旱). Tede used to have 200 goats, but now he has only seven left. He told me that this drought has taught him a hard lesson: It is too difficult to keep animals. He lives on animals. His traditional way of life has been completely destroyed now. Without the food aid(援助) they got, Tede is certain that they would starve because there are no other ways to feed themselves left.
    Sadly, the same can be heard in almost any developing country around the world. Almost one billion people go to bed hungry each night. The food system is broken. In Turkana, not enough rain has fallen since 2005. They measure(测量) rainfall not in days or weeks but in minutes. More and more people are being forced to rely on food aid, but people like Tede don’t want food aid. They want to work and develop their country. It’s our responsibility(责任) to change the situation so that they can support themselves.
    Drought is impossible to avoid but famine(饥荒) is manmade, and unless enough money is provided to develop a basic infrastructure(基础设施) for people in the area, thousands more lives are sure to be lost.
    小题1: Why do people in Turkana no longer sing or dance any more?
    A．Because they have no time.
    B．Because they are tired of them.
    C．Because they are always hungry.
    D．Because they have other interesting things to do.
    小题2:During the drought Tede had experienced, ______of his goats were killed.
    A．200B．193C．7D．6
    小题3: Which of the following is NOT true about Tede Lokapelo?
    A．He was a farmer in Kenya.
    B．He has never received any food aid.
    C．His traditional way of life ha s been changed.
    D．He found it hard to raise animals after the drought.
    小题4:What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text?
    A．To show drought is serious in the world.
    B．To tell readers the serious situation of food shortage(短缺).
    C．To ask more people to give food aid to people in Kenya.
    D．To make it clear what is the right way to help people suffering from drought.

    If Confucius(孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be many candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
    While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought.  It’s nothing personal.  Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
    But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius.  In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
    In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities.  More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.  These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy（哲学）.  Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy.  Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.  So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States.  Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. 
    So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
    Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
    As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.
    小题1:The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________.
    A．provide some key facts about Confucius
    B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject
    C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
    D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
    小题2:We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______.
    A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
    B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
    C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
    D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
    小题3:What is the best title for the passage?
    A．Forgotten Wisdom in America
    B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language
    C．Chinese Culture for Westerners
    D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
    小题4:The passage is likely to appear in ___________.
    A．a biographyB．a history paper
    C．a newspaperD．a philosophy textbook

    As demand for power and fuel grows steadily in the coming decades, we must consider every possible energy source（来源）on hand if we're to meet the world's needs. And because clean natural gas is found in great plenty, there is little doubt that it will play a major role on the world energy stage in this century, much like oil did in the last. But, like oil, gas reserves are concentrated in just a few places in the world, usually far from where they're needed most. And that's only part of the challenge. The world has had well over 100 years to search for oil and to build the necessary facilities（设施）to bring it to market; the natural gas facilities, particularly when it comes to liquefied（液化）natural gas（LNG）, are not nearly as developed.
    So what needs to be done? On the supply side, producing nations need policies that allow for better development of their natural gas in an open, stable business environment, not one in which the rules of the game change without warning. The governments of consuming nations, on the other hand, must make policies for sustainable（可持续的）development to ensure they'll have enough supplies in the future. That means building the related facilities, including LNG stations. This, in turn, will require coastal areas to allow these necessary, but not necessarily pretty, facilities to be built in their backyards. And energy companies have a responsibility to be good neighbors in those areas by operating these facilities responsibly and safely. They must also continue to put in the billions of dollars needed to build the complex transport and storage facilities required to bring more gas to market.
    Expanding and diversifying（使多样化）energy sources by using more natural gas could lead to lower fuel prices and to greater energy security. We've taken some of the steps to get started, but we need your help to get the rest of the way.
    小题1:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Gas played a major part in the 20th century.
    B．Natural gas facilities are far from satisfactory.
    C．Gas reserves are widely spread around the world.
    D．Necessary facilities are ready to bring gas to market.
    小题2: The underlined word "one"（in Paragraph 2）refers to _____________.
    A．a gas supply sideB．a business environment
    C．a gas consuming nationD．a policy for gas development
    小题3:Consuming nations of natural gas need to ___________.
    A．change the rules of the game
    B．open markets in their backyards
    C．build pretty facilities along the coast
    D．have long-term policies for gas supply
    小题4: The main purpose of the passage is to _______.
    A．warn people of the lack of power and fuel
    B．discuss the importance of oil and natural gas
    C．call for better use and development of natural gas
    D．instruct people how to make use of energy sources
    小题5: The passage might be followed by a paragraph about
    A．what kind of help you can offer
    B．where energy sources are concentrated
    C．which countries are in great need of gas
    D．what problems of energy sources we may face

    Home to me means a sense of familiarity and nostalgia(怀旧). It's fun to come home. It looks the same. It smells the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. Home is where we can remember pain, live, and some other experiences; We parted here; My parents met here; I won three championships here.
    If I close my eyes, I can still have a clear picture in mind of my first home. I walk in the door and see a brown sofa surrounding a low glass-top wooden table. To the right of the living room is my first bedroom. It's empty, but it's where my earliest memories are.
    There is the dining room table where I celebrated birthdays, and where I cried on Halloween-when I didn't want to wear the skirt my mother made for me. I always liked standing on that table because it made me feel tall and strong. If I sit at this table, I can see my favorite room in the house, my parents' room. It is simple: a brown wooden dresser lines the right side of the wall next to a television and a couple of photos of my grandparents on each side. Their bed is my safe zone. I can jump on it anytime - waking up my parents if I am scared or if I have an important announcement that cannot wait until the morning.
    I'm lucky because I know my first home still exists. It exists in my mind and heart, on a physical property (住宅) on West 64th street on the western edge of Los Angeles. It is proof I lived, I grew and I learned.
    Sometimes when I feel lost, I lie down and shut my eyes, and I go home. I know it's where I'll find my family, my dogs, and my belongings. I purposely leave the window open at night because I know I'll be blamed by Mom. But I don't mind, because I want to hear her say my name, which reminds me I'm home.
    小题1:Why does the author call her parents' bed her "safe zone"(Paragraph 3)?
    A．It is her favorite place to play.
    B．Her needs can be satisfied there.
    C．Her grandparents' photos are lined on each side.
    D．Her parents always play together with her there.
    小题2:What can be learned from the passage?
    A．The old furniture is still in the author's fist bedroom.
    B．The author can still visit her first physical home in Los Angeles.
    C．The author's favorite room in her first home is the dining room.
    D．Many people of the author's age can still find their first physical homes.
    小题3:Sometimes when she feels lost, the author will _______.
    A．Open the window at night
    B．lie down in bed to have a dream
    C．try to bring back a sense of home
    D．go to Los Angeles to visit her mom
    小题4:What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?
    A．To express how much she is attached to her home.
    B．To declare how much she loves her first house.
    C．To describe the state of her family.
    D．To look back on her childhood.
