【题目】Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself

In all one's life lime it is oneself, that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. 1.

When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach, 2 It’s likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world. Actually, to get a thorough understanding of oneself, you may as well keep the following tips in mind.

Gain a correct view of oneself.

You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for dreams can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts. 3

Self-appreciate.

Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature. 4 If you earnestly admire yourself you’ll have a real sense of self-appreciation.

5

In time of anger, do yourself a favor by releasing it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.

Get a full control of one's life.

Then one will find one’s life full of color and favor.

A. It has its own value.

B. Do oneself a favor when it's needed.

C. Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.

D. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.

E. Especially if it is well within your reach, you are just too blind to see it.

F. When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence,

G. o long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.

【答案】

1D

2F

3G

4A

5B

【解析】试题分析:人生要成功,我们要对自己有正确的理解。文章中给出了四个了解自我的建议。

1D 根据第一句In all one's life time it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.在我们的一生中,我们和自己在一起的时间最多,但是我们似乎并没有真正理解自己。所以才会有文章的标题“Get a Thorough Understanding of Oneself彻底了解自己D“But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.”符合文章的中心思想。

2F 根据本段第一句When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate yourself. 当我们向上攀登的时候,我们会高估我们自己。只有当我们下山的时候,我们才会对自己的能力有充分的理解。F“When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself for your own incompetence.”“downhill”与前文upwards相呼应。

3G 本段的标题是Gain a correct view of oneself.要对自己有正确的理解。说明本段主要叙述了解自我的作用。只有G“So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself, there won’t be difficulties you can’t overcome.了解了自我,就没有什么克服不利的困难与本段中心思想一致。

4A 本段标题是“Self-appreciate”自我欣赏,也就是说我们要欣赏自我。再根据横线前句Whether you compare yourself to a towering tree or a blade of grass, a high mountain or a small stone, you represent a state of nature.不管你是参天大树还是路边的小石子。你都有自己的存在价值,都要有恰当的自我欣赏。故A“It has its own value.”符合上下文串联。

5B 根据本段中In time of anger, do yourself a favor .....in time of sadnessdo yourself a favor......in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor.....;可知本段主要介绍的是在需要的时候do yourself a favor。故B正确。

【题目】LAS VEGAS — It was different in the light of day.

There was no ‘pop, pop, pop’ of gunfire, no screams. Just a quiet lot of cars abandoned by those, like Kassidy Owen, who escaped with their lives.

“It’s strange to hear the silence,” Owen said, “because all I remember was the noise.”

The 22-year-old was one of dozens of concertgoers who returned to the scene of the Route 91 Harvest festival on Wednesday morning to fetch the vehicles they left behind as they fled from a gunman raining down bullets from high above in the tower of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino across the street.

Survivors of the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday needed their cars to move on with their lives — to get back to work, to school, home. It was the first time they were returning to a scene that would forever change them, when joy and celebration and music turned into killing and horror.

Before they could move forward, they had to go back to the place where they thought they were going to die.

Owen had run to her car to hide and had tried to drive away, but she couldn’t. People were running, bodies dropped to the ground, and cars bottlenecked in the parking lot. During a brief pause after more than 10 minutes of gunfire, she worried the lights of her SUV made everyone inside a shining target.

“They’re shooting again!” her best friend’s brother screamed. “‘Turn off the car!’”

That’s when she got out and fled.

“I just remember shutting the door and running,” Owen said.

Now, nearly three days later, she was back, sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV. Her eyes were swollen and red. This was a long way from over.

“You just keep hearing the gunshots in your head,” Owen said.

1Why did Kassidy Owen return to the scene of terror?

A. To get back her car for daily life.

B. To show sympathy to the victims.

C. To search for her missing friends.

D. To look into the cause of the shooting.

2Where was the gunman when the mass shooting happened?

A. Behind a car. B. In the parking lot.

C. On the stage. D. In a tall building.

3Why did Owen keep hearing the gunshots in her head?

A. Because she had escaped being caught.

B. Because she wanted to find the gunman.

C. Because she couldn’t rid herself of those terrible scenes.

D. Because she had saved others’ lives by turning off the car.

4Where is the text probably taken from?

A. A story book. B. A newspaper.

C. A guide book. D. A research report.

One day, a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn't you say you yourself have many more questions about things than we do?I think we students have far more than you.”
With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles, one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said, “Of course, I have learned much more. But it is wrong(think) a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles.

【题目】Fearful parents are saying no to sleep-overs(在别人家里过夜),banning children as old as 15 from using public transport on their own and watching over their kids like hawks(鹰)at the local park,according to a new British study.

The survey of 6,099 people commissioned by LV,a charity that educates children about safety,showed that nearly a quarter of children aged 15 or under were not allowed to sleep at a friend's house,60 percent were forbidden to travel on public transport alone and 43 percent couldn't go to the park without a parent or guardian(监护人).

It said more than 60 percent of mums and dads think the world is more dangerous than when they were kids. "It's difficult for parents to know when is the right time to step back and allow children to experience things on their own,"said one person in the survey.

In contrast,just four percent of today's adults said they were banned from sleeping-over when they were 15 or younger,only two percent were forbidden to use public transport,and the same number couldn't go out on their own in familiar surroundings,such as their local town or park.

“Stranger danger” is the number one worry for over half of all parents (54 percent),followed by bullying(欺侮)(47),mugging (46) and road danger (34).On average,children today can look forward to walking to school on their own by the age of 11,use public transport on their own at 12,and babysit their brother or sister by the time they're 14.

In contrast,parents say they were allowed to walk to school unaccompanied at the age of nine,use public transport alone by the time they were 11,and babysit a brother or sister by the time of their 12th birthday.

Parents know they are being tougher on their children and over a third said they felt uneasy that their kids do not get the same opportunities as they did to experience freedom as a youngster.

A. they love their children more than their parents did in the past
