1.How does the man feel about David’s way of sleeping?
A．It’s effective.
B．It’s strange.
C．It’s the best.
2.How many hours does David sleep a day?
A．Four.
B．Six.
C．Seven.
3.What does the woman suggest at the end of the talk?
A．People should develop a habit like David’s.
B．People need longer hours of sleep.
C．People have different sleeping habits.
1.对话中女声提出He has a strange but highly effective way of sleeping，然后对David的睡眠方式做出一番描述。男声则继续提出疑问，其中也有自己的态度： Where did he get that strange idea? 在他看来，此君睡法可谓奇特之至。 2.对话中明确交待：He takes a short sleep for an hour every six hours and has a total of four hours of sleep each day——-每天共睡4小时。按通常情况，人们也该睡到6小时至7小时的，如果选择B、C项为答案，也就谈不上是strange way of sleeping了。 3. 题干本身点明问题出处：(...the woman suggest)at the end of the talk，考生在听对话时可能会把注意力放在对话结尾，但需要看到，对话结尾句女声发出的感慨(Not everyone is a David)是经过一番讨论之后才得出的。先有女声说了她的尝试与结果：I once tried to follow David’s example，but it never worked out for me．又有男声附和：If I sleep during the day，I can never wake up．由此看来，整段对话结尾所作结论的真实含义应该是：People have different sleeping habits，不是人人都能像David的。

M: How come David is always so full of energy? W: He has a strange but highly effective way of sleeping. M: What is that? W: He takes a short sleep for an hour every six hours and has a total of four hours of sleep each day. M: Where did he get that strange idea? W: He read from a book that said it was the best way for human beings, and he believed it. M: How many hours do you sleep a day? W: I need at least seven hours. I once tried to follow David’s example, but it never worked out for me. M: If I sleep during the day, I can never wake up. W: Not everyone is a David, I guess.

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real “pain” for some of us. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude and learn from them. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains!
Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these obstacles keep us from following our dreams. We must overcome every obstacle one small step at a time.
As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music and I also hated them. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched(丰富) my life in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.
We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. They might seem so huge at the time, but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that. Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone! If we realize that these pains are just small bumps(碰撞) on our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.
“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, I’m Darryl Kramer. How are you?”
He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I have a son,” I answered.
“Why are you so little?” he asked.
“It’s the way I was born,” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy’s hand, and left.
My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.
It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf. Despite this, I did all the things other kids did when I was growing up.
I didn’t realize how short I was until I s
tarted school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.
But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I decided to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People are amazed when they see me driving. I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have — a great family, nice friends.”
It’s the children’s questions that make my life special. I enjoy answering their questions. My hope is that I will encourage them to accept their peers (a person of the same age, class, position, etc.), whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.
【小题1】.. Why did the mother apologize to the author?
| A．Because the boy ran into the author. |
B．Because th e boy laughed at the author. |
| C．Because the boy said the author was fatter than him. |
| D．Because she thought the boy’s words had hurt the author. |
| A．When she began to go to school. | B．When she was 47 years old. |
| C．When she grew up. | D．When she met the boy in the supermarket. |
| A．dismissed | B．increased | C．decreased | D．discriminated |
| A．Angry. | B．Calm. | C．Painful. | D．Discouraged. |

Michelle Obama is the first lady of American fashion, appearing on the cover of the March issue of Vogue.
Every first lady since Lou Hoover—except Bess Truman—has been appeared in the high-fashion magazine, but Mrs. Obama is only the second to appear on the cover. She appears wearing a silk dress by Jason Wu.
Vogue’s editor Andre Leon Tally recalled his interviews with Mrs. Obama ahead of US president Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony（就职典礼）. “One of the best experiences of my life .” “She is so easily reached, natural and normal.” he said.
Mrs. Obama described her role as “Mom in chief” to 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha. “I’m going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can,” she said. “But there’s also a measure of freedom. And clearly there will be time I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to appear in my kids’ school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents.”
Being in Vogue, though, the chat finally turns to clothes. “I’m not going to pretend that I don’t care about it,” she said. “But I also have to be very practical. Someone will always not like what you wear---people just have different tastes. ”
Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue, or at least editors work as advisers. Not this time. “She doesn’t need any help. She loves fashion and knows what works for her,” Talley said. “She has never had a talk with me about, ‘What do you think?’ or ‘How does this like?’ And I’m glad for that.”
45. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 we know____.
A. every first lady has appeared on the cover of Vogue
B. only Bess Truman has appeared on the cover of Vogue
C. only two first ladies have appeared on the cover of Vogue
D. only Mrs. Obama has appeared on the cover of Vogue
46. From the forth paragraph we know Mrs. Obama ____.
A. loves their daughters very much
B. likes to do housework very much
C. likes to do all for her husband
D. has nothing to do after daughters go to school
47. From the last paragraph we know Mrs. Obama ____.
A. is a woman of kindness
B. has her own sense of beauty and idea
C. herself is a clothes designer and model
D. doesn’t like to be watched changing clothes
48. Which of the following is the best title?
A. First ladies of Vogue Cover Model
