    阅读理解，请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　At the age of 22, Liu Lu is barely old enough to shave and may indeed still have peach fuzz on his face instead of whiskers, but his youth has not prevented him from becoming the youngest professor in China．Last week, Zhongnan University in the central Chinese city of Changsha appointed Liu to a professorship and also awarded him one million yuan in recognition for his solving a complicated math problem called the “Seetapun Enigma”．It's not unusual for young people such as Liu to do great things．Most great poetry and many great scientific and mathematical discoveries have leaped from the minds of young geniuses．We only have to think of the poetry of Byron, the inventions of Edison and the theoretical breakthroughs of Einstein．

    　　Unlike Liu, however, most geniuses have to wait a long time to receive the recognition and rewards of their achievements．So Liu's skyrocket to the top has ruffled some feathers in academia and on Weibo．The critics believe that a professorship should only be given after long years spent in the academic trenches writing research papers and teaching in classrooms．In other words, professors should have to pay their dues．

    　　For the most part, though, people have supported Liu's appointment．They believe that creativity, innovation and individual genius should be encouraged in China．If China is to grow and prosper, it needs young minds like Liu's．

    　　But that raises another question：Is Liu a good role model? Liu was only a mediocre student in high school and university, and, as yet, does not have a postgraduate degree．Will others see Liu's success as an excuse to ignore the traditional school system?

    　　When we are young we all think that we are special; budding geniuses just waiting to flower．While it may be true that we are special, not many of us are geniuses．For most of us, the knowledge and discipline that we learn in school will be the basis for our success in later life．We should accept that, but schools should also accept the “specialness” of individual students and do more to encourage students to develop that specialness．After all, as Liu has shown, having a little peach fuzz on your face doesn't mean you can't do great things．

    (1)

    What does the underlined sentence in Para．2 probably mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    Liu succeeds overnight and it has inspired many young people．

    B．

    Liu's success overnight makes some people angry and upset．

    C．

    Liu is as proud as a bird of his appointment．

    D．

    Even birds are frightened since Liu succeeds so abruptly．

    (2)

    What's the purpose of the examples of Byron, Edison and Einstein presented in Para．1?

    [　　]

    A．

    To introduce some famous people around the world．

    B．

    To prove that young minds are also likely to do great things．

    C．

    To prove that Chinese people can make amazing achievements just like foreign people．

    D．

    To convince readers that the solution to “Seetapun Enigma” is as great as Byron's poetry, Edison's invention and Einstein's theoretical breakthroughs．

    (3)

    The author may probably agree with the following EXCEPT ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    Liu is a good role model for young people．

    B．

    School should give students more space to develop their specialness．

    C．

    All special people are not geniuses．

    D．

    Liu's success shouldn't be an excuse to neglect the traditional school system．

    (4)

    What's the author's attitude towards Liu's appointment according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Critical．

    B．

    doubtful．

    C．

    Ironic．

    D．

    Positive．

    答案：1．B;2．B;3．A;4．D;

         请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。
         注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
          We live in a time when the day is controlled by selfishness and greed. The battle of selfishness
    and greed has been increasingly fierce and there have been many casualties, but desire has tired too
    many people and we find that the populated areas of the twenty-first century have lost hope for the
    boring symphony of selfishness. Now I have several suggestions that will get you back on your feet,
    so that you can continue walking down the road of life with your head held high, arm in arm with
    your fellow man as equal.
          Money isn’t everything. There exists a common understanding that everything around us is
    measured by money and an assumption that the meaning of life is to make as much of it as humanly
    possible, so that you can live a comfortable and luxurious life. It is clear that money is indeed necessary
    to get through life, whether spent on food or shelter, but the air we breathe and the love we share are
    both free and extremely rewarding. Too many people die alone, only to be remembered for their full
    bank accounts or their shocking debts, so we must be remembered for our kindness to others and
    contributions to society.
         Share with others. A miser is a person who cares extremely about their wealth and takes from
    everyone everything, with only one thing in their mind that they demand more. Not only are misers
    hated by the people surrounding them, but they are also the death of many men. Some of us will
    never admit that they take far more than they give. We are supposed to give a little, even if we receive
    nothing in return. Show generosity to your friends, co-workers, family, neighbors and you will be on
    your way to removing the greed from your life.
         Act unselfishly. We must learn to act unselfishly for people and help whoever in need, not because
    doing so makes us feel superior, not to expect something in return either, but because it helps them
    survive, which makes them feel connected with the world, with a smile on their face and a strong
    need to give to others. By acting unselfishly, we will teach others how to act unselfishly too. Next
    time you stick your neck out for a selfish miser, be optimistic and think that maybe he will learn to
    pay it forward by following your example.
    The current

    1个单词。
         Do you raise salmon (鲑鱼) in your classroom at school? Do you ever have class while floating down a
    river in a canoe? Do you ever throw your school lunch leftovers into a compost (混合肥料) bin when you
    are finished? They are all part of a regular school day at Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School in
    New Haven, Connecticut. Known as a "green" school, Barnard attracts students from all over the region who
    are interested in environmental studies.
         "We do Earth Day all the year round," said Marjorie Drucker, Barnard's Magnet Resource teacher. With
    the school's special classes, its 325 students study the environment all day long. "Being green means that
    everything in the building is designed with the environment in mind," Drucker told Scholastic News. For
    example, the lights go off when people leave the room, and special windows provide "passive light", cutting
    down on the need for electric lighting. When a window is open, the air-conditioning automatically turns off.
         Conserving energy is not all that students do to help the environment. While learning about the dying
    salmon population in the Connecticut rivers, students also do something to help out-they raise more salmon.
    In the classrooms there are fish tanks containing salmon eggs. The eggs are kept in water at two degrees
    Celsius. After the eggs hatch, students observe the baby salmon through all the stages of development, and
    then release the adult salmon into Connecticut rivers.
         Composting is another part of taking care of the environment at Barnard Students deal with their lunches
    by throwing the remaining food into a compost bin in a greenhouse. The compost is used to help grow plants.
         At Barnard, almost everything has to do with the environment. Students sing songs about the environment;
    their artworks have something to do with the environment; even their math classes are focused on protecting
    the environment.
         Barnard offers chances that students can't get in a regular school. The school's goal is to teach children to
    be good environmental role models. They also learn to live in a different way. To attend the school, students
    have to apply and express their interest in protecting the environment. "Students come here because they care
    about the environment," said Drucker.

         Wondering how many calories the banana cream pie on your plate has? Some Japanese have a novel way
    to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones becoming
    common in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health-care providers will allow the
    calorie-conscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (营养学家) for advice.
          Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About
    100 cardiac (心脏病的) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the
    second."Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they
    learned about nutrition when they were younger," the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said."We're hoping that this
    program can help us deal with the problem."
         Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150
    health-care providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one
    day's meals to several weeks' worth. Results come back in three days. People can also log on a website to get
    further information.
         Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University's Hirakata Hospital, also in
    Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients
    photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist e-mails advice to them. "Patients
    used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估) their portions (份)," Kimura
    said. "Photographing meals and e-mailing them can be easier and get more accurate results."
         As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses
    such as high blood pressure have become a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more
    than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased
    risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping
    to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the
    cellphone program will help.

    请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
         We should not hesitate too much during the first half of our lives, while we should not regret at what
    we've done during the other half. We should seize every opportunity (机会) to find a way out in our lives,
    for it goes off quickly. We should say something urgent (紧迫的) slowly, something serious clearly,
    something small humorously and something unsure carefully. We should never say something that did not
    happen, something that we cannot do, something that does harm to others. Do not easily say something
    about others. We should follow our own heart and interest, and fulfill what we should do.
         Everyone is longing for a happy life, but owning wealth does not necessarily mean owning happiness.
    To truly reach happiness, we need to know how to get on with others. So we need to understand the
    core (核心) of happiness and achieve what we desire.
         We need to know and understand happiness before we finally get it. A smart man must know to do
    something good even though it may be small, and not to do something evil even though it may be tiny in
    everyday life. As long as we keep a kind heart and do everything legally, we can live a peaceful life. But
    if we keep an evil heart and do whatever we want, we are indeed digging a tomb for ourselves. A smart
    man knows to learn a lesson from his falls for he knows that every fall is a valuable experience leading to
    happiness in the future. He will not waste his time in criticizing (批评)others. Instead, he tends to spend
    more time seeking his own happiness. He knows to keep a heart of conscience (道德) and not to spread
    others' mistakes. He also knows to think before he leaps so that he will not feel regretful afterwards.
    Moreover, he knows to tolerate others, so he can naturally lead a happy life.
         Without happiness, one will feel terribly sorry, for he always insists that he has done the right thing all
    the time and that others often do wrong to him. He attributes (把……归于) every mistake to others or
    the environment instead of reflecting on himself, which keeps him farther and farther away from happiness.
         A well-known person once said, "Nobody intends to make mistakes. One makes mistakes because
    of his ignorance (无知)." Therefore, if someone makes mistake, we need to care about him, forgive him
    and enlighten (启发) him by setting a good example to him instead of losing temper (怒气) to him.
    Otherwise, we are also ignorant like him, for we also make a stupid mistake that leads us farther from
    happiness.
         In order to lead a happy life, we need to know more about others, about the society, about our culture
    and history. We should love our country, keep the law and realize our own responsibility (责任), and then
    we are sure to have a happy life.
    Title Talk about happiness
    Wise actions in life
    		 ●Do the things without hesitating and never regret at anything .
    ●Seize every opportunity to do the things we should.
    ●(1)________ saying something that did not happen.
    ●Don't comment on others easily.

    Things about happiness we should remember
    		 ●Getting on well with others is necessary.
    ●Doing good things with a kind heart may make us live (2)________.
    ●Knowing to learn a lesson from the falls is a valuable experience.
    ●Thinking twice before action and tolerating others can lead to
    a happy life.
    (3)________for not having happiness
    		 ●He blames everything wrong for the environment not himself.
    ●His ignorance results in making mistakes, which keeps him farther
    away from happiness.
    (4)________for
    reaching happiness
    		 ●We should care about the people who make mistakes instead of
    losing temper and set an example to them.
    ●We should have a better (5)________ of society, culture, history and others.
    ●We should keep the law and shoulder our own responsibility.

         People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up
    and down America's main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least
    some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn't forget that there are hard moments in the life of a
    teenager too. 　　
         I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman's funeral (葬礼). I didn't expect the event to affect me.
    Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved. 　　
         Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church
    was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began:"I want to share a few values that
    Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would literally attract her,
    what would Nana say? 'Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.' That was Nana. 　　
         "She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful
    businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for
    Grandpa's career," he said, with a voice now trembling."That was Nana's way." 　　
         Through a muffled sob, he continued. "Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you'd have to hear
    about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag." 　　
         Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, "Nana taught me courage. She put up
    an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana's
    way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner." 　　
         There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the
    first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven't learned to be controlled. 　　
         When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and dearest friend, his
    honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He
    exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of
    many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death. 　　
         All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you
    say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself.
    And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.
