    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
    Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”
    Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work:
    A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic – you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
    On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
    We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
    （1）What does the author think about the present generation?
    A.They don't do well at school.
    B.They are often misunderstood.
    C.They are eager to win in sports.
    D.They are given too much praise.
    （2）A fixed mind-set person is probably one who __________ .
    A.doesn't want to work hard
    B.cares a lot about personal safety
    C.cannot share his ideas with others
    D.can succeed with the help of teachers
    （3）What does the growth mind-set believe?
    A.Admitting failure is shameful.
    B.Talent comes with one's birth.
    C.Scores should be highly valued.
    D.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
    （4）What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?
    A.Encourage them to learn from failures.
    B.Prevent them from making mistakes.
    C.Guide them in doing little things.
    D.Help them grow with praise.

    【答案】
    （1）D
    （2）A
    （3）D
    （4）A
    【解析】本文是一篇议论文，讲述了人们对于Afixed mind-set 和a growth mind-set的看法以及在教育方面的建议。

    ⑴D 细节题。根据第一段最后一句As a result,Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraisedgeneration.说明这是被过度表扬的一代，故D正确。

    ⑵A 细节题。根据第三段The fixedmind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failureas personal shame. When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, andeven stay away from future difficulties.说明他们认为不努力也能成功，故A正确。

    ⑶D推理题。根据第四段1,2行On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that notalent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everythingpossible.说明这样的人认为通过努力就可以取得成功。故D正确。

    ⑷A细节题。根据文章最后一段2,3行But parents, teachers, and instructors often push usinto fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise.说明父母老师应该鼓励他们。故A正确。

    【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的A—G选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
    Many of us deal with the rush every morning in preparation for work or school, but it doesn't have to be this way. With a little time management, these steps can help you cut down on your morning stress.
    Create an evening preparation routine
    These simple tasks will take you less than 30 minutes to complete each evening and will save you a huge headache every morning.
    Get a good night's sleep
    Make sure you go to bed at a reasonable hour to allow enough time for a healthy night's sleep. Most people require between seven and eight hours' sleep each night. If needed, set a bedtime reminder alarm on your alarm clock.
    Wake up 30 minutes earlier
    An extra 30 minutes in the morning will make a difference. As long as you get to bed on time, waking up 30 minutes earlier should seem natural after just a few days.
    Plan a realistic day
    Writing things down means you don't have to worry about forgetting to do them. Write down anything that cannot be put off to following day.

    Getting up to face a new day is far more satisfying when you have something to look forward to. Make sure you manage your time better so that you have time to do something you love on a daily basis.
    A．Morning stress is very common.
    B．Schedule something you love daily.
    C．Never fill your mind with unnecessary worries.
    D．Make a summary of what you did in the daytime.
    E．Use this time to think, shower and eat breakfast.
    F．Iron your clothes, locate your keys, plan a nutritious breakfast, etc.
    G．Always keep the temperature in your bedroom comfortably cool.

    【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。
    Standing in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes, I didn't take one step. I was afraid of bears. That's what was keeping me from walking the trail alone. I had hiked through black-bear country back home in Colorado, but now I was in Alaska, home to the fierce brown grizzly bear.
    Fortunately, a friendly couple arrived and asked me to take their picture. We started talking and soon were walking the trail together. I was relieved. Ron and Carol were from Alaska and they taught me how to stay safe in bear country.
    I had finally started my hike along the famous Chilkoot Trail, where more than 115 years ago, thousands of gold miners had walked. I was writing a book about the Klondike Gold Rush, and I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the miners to know what it was really like.
    Ron, Carol, and I walked through the forest. As I was looking around at the beautiful scenery in the forest, I tripped (绊倒) over a big tree root and injured my ankle (脚踝). Fortunately, my ankle felt better in the morning, and we followed the trail. We went to bed early that night because the following day would be the toughest hike of all.
    At dawn, we started hiking up the steep (陡峭的), green valley. Icy glaciers covered the mountains above. Soon we were as high as the clouds and could see only 20 feet in front of us. Finally, we reached the top of the Chilkoot pass and saw a Canadian flag moving in the heavy wind. Hours later, we arrived at our campground.
    The following morning, my ankle was feeling fine, and my fear of bears had mostly disappeared. I said good-bye to Ron and Carol and walked alone for the next two days. Without seeing any bears the entire trip, I finally arrived at Bennett Lake. I rode the old train down to the town of Skagway and checked into my hotel.
    While relaxing in my comfortable bed in the hotel, I thought of the miners from the Klondike Gold Rush. When the miners reached Bennett Lake, they had to cut down trees, build boats, and travel 500 miles down dangerous rivers and lakes. Then, when they finally reached the goldfields, they had to start digging.
    （1）Why did the author stand in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes?
    A.To wait for Ron and Carol.
    B.Because he felt nervous.
    C.Because he met a black bear.
    D.To take photos of the beautiful scenery.
    （2）The author hiked along the Chilkoot Trail to ________.
    A.find inspiration for his writing
    B.search Alaska for bears
    C.enjoy the beauty of nature
    D.look for gold
    （3）When crossing the Chilkoot Trail, the author ________.
    A.got help from two local miners
    B.once tried to take a boat trip
    C.hurt himself by accident
    D.was almost killed by a brown bear
    （4）What kind of feeling did the author mainly show in the last paragraph?
    A.Joy.
    B.Pity.
    C.Worry.
    D.Doubt.

    【题目】Americans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off to university” or “when I was in university.” That sounds British. 【1】

    College, university: what’s the difference? 【2】 Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living.

    But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. 【3】

    Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities.

    Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word “university” came from the Latin universities, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose.【4】 In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.

    The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. 【5】 For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.

    Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within a college or university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.

    A. A college can also be a part of a university.

    B. There are more universities than colleges in the USA.

    C. They offer more programs and do more research.

    D. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning.

    E. Universities and colleges offer students different opportunities.

    F. Instead, they say “going off to college” and “when I was in college.”

    G. Colleges and universities have many things in common.

    【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
    Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (车的行李箱).
    Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
    Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (喇叭) and hammering（捶打） on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
    Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松开螺丝） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
    It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the things from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手） and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (攀爬) clear as the car filled up.”
    His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” “Only the tips （尖部）of the car wheels were visible，”police said last night. “The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”
    （1）What is the best title for this newspaper article?
    A.The Story of Mr. Johnson，a Sweet Salesman
    B.Car Boot Can Serve As the Best Escape Route
    C.Driver Escaped Through Car Boot
    D.The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident
    （2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
    A.Mr. Johnson's car stood on its boot as it fell down.
    B.Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
    C.Mr. Johnson's car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
    D.Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.
    （3）The underlined part “Finally it gave” in Paragraph 5 means that “________”.
    A.Luckily the door was torn away in the end
    B.At last the wrench went broken
    C.The chance was lost at the last minute
    D.The lock came open after all his efforts
    （4）It may be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A.the ditch was along a quiet country road
    B.the accident happened on a clear warm day
    C.the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
    D.Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

    Everyone knows that fish is good for health. But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
    Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh.When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.
    There are many common methods used to cook fish. First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices（调料）.
    Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.
    A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it. C. This is how you can do it. D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. The fish will go bad within hours. F. When buying fish, you should first smell it. G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.
