There are three things that will get you ahead in life: good looks, smarts, and being considered as being smart. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking. Let's explore some different ways to become smarter.
College doesn't necessarily mean you'll be smarter, just educated. It means you'll be exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you'll learn how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.
Read books and educational magazines. Educational magazines are a wealth of knowledge you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something that you can learn.
Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It doesn't seem like much, but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter. Subscribing (订阅) to vocabulary.com is a good start. This way you're actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.
Don't repeat everything people tell you until you know that it's true.They hear a strange claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your seek for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.
A. Go to college and get an education.
B. The first is God-given.
C. Get educated inside or outside college.
D. You will have a new word sent to your email address daily.
E. The programs actually provide you with information you can use.
F. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this.
G. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.

【答案】B;A;G;D;F
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,讲到三个东西是你生活中不可缺少的,外貌你不可选择,但你可以用一些方法让自己变得更聪明。
(1)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“There are three things that will get you ahead in life: good looks, smarts, and being considered as being smart.”可知是好的外貌放在首位,故选B项这是上帝给的。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后“College doesn't necessarily mean you'll be smarter, just educated”大学并不意味着你就会更聪明仅仅是受到教育,故选A上大学,接受教育。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Read books and educational magazines”看书和有教育意义的杂志,故选G读书要比看电视更能有益大脑。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Subscribing(订阅)to vocabulary. com is a good start”订阅词汇是个很好的开始,故选D可以每天把新的单词发到你的邮箱。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前“Don't repeat everything people tell you until you know that it's true”不要重复你所听到的,直到你明白这是真的,故选F没有受到教育的人和不聪明的人经常这样做。

【题目】I had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons.I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions.One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain.Stone Mountain isn't a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top,but for two 5-year-olds,along with grandpa,it's a formidable task.

Since my grandson's enthusiasm was much greater than mine,I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual.It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance,but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal 1 of mine,so I found myself walking ahead of them,then having to stop and let them catch up,over and over again.

I was tired and sweaty,just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back.I learned early on during our walk that this wasn't going to be the case.We had to stop and look at every large rock with someone's name carved in it.We looked at unusual plant formations.We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves.My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure.Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain;they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk.

I know when I face a trial in life,I tend to always think of the problem.I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal.What can I learn during the course of the trial? At some point,the trial will be over and we'll be joyous for sure.

However,the real joy should not be that the trial's over,but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey.

1What does the underlined word "formidable" in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. Relaxing. B. Meaningful.

C. Strange. D. Difficult.

2What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A. The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.

B. Old as the writer was,he walked much faster than his grandsons.

C. The writer and his grandsons walked up the mountain very fast at the beginning.

D. The writer was more eager to climb to the top of the mountain than his grandsons.

3Why did the writer only want to reach the mountain top?

A. To have a good rest. B. To get a better view.

C. To enjoy unusual plants. D. To see large rocks carved with names.

4What can be the best title of the text?

A. A tiring day spent with grandsons. B. Joy coming from mountain-climbing.

C. A life lesson learnt from grandsons. D. Learning to enjoy the journey.

【题目】The giant Sequoia trees in California grip tightly into the floor,but with shallow root,with little depth.Constantly challenging the natural elements and fighting off destruction,the giant Sequoia is "king of the forest".These trees are so tall and strong that eventually they become their own worst enemy.For you see,the Sequoia can resist lightning, storm,and wind,but eventually their roots cannot support their own weight and strength.After hundreds or thousands of years,they tumble to the ground like giant skyscrapers that have fallen from their bases after powerful explosives are detonated(引爆).

In many ways,many of us are like those giant Sequoias,so proud,so bit,so strong,withstanding wind and fire,yet not allowing our roots to seek deep into life's meaning.Many people have only shallow roots in soft ground,leaving them constantly on the edge of falling over to their destruction.

The first step we should take is to anchor ourselves with the firm intention of establishing strong roots of life and belief.We must trust the ground we stand on,and allow ourselves to plant the rich seeds of passion into our life's soil,nurturing it with the rain of love and joy,then allowing the fertilizer to soak into the very "veins" of the roots, leading to the trunk's healthy development.We've all seen many men with a strong trunk but no roots.They place the material dimension of wealth and finance above their own roots and foundational beliefs.They become so heavy with possessions,money,and the burden of wealth that they finally fall over as the giant Sequoia uproots itself and self-destructs.

1The Sequoia is called "king of the forest" because it .

A. grips tightly into the forest floor B. grows to be very tall and strong

C. lives to thousands of years D. looks like a skyscraper

2What does the underlined word "tumble" mean?

A. Explode. B. Reach.

C. Build up. D. Break down.

3The writer's purpose in introducing the Sequoia is to .

A. tell a life truth

B. encourage struggling people

C. show the meaning of happiness

D. warn people about the danger of becoming strong

4What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Life Is Rooted in A Strong Belief. B. Our Biggest Enemy Is Ourselves.

C. The Meaning of Life. D. Build Firm Life Foundation.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Children have their own rules in playing games. They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They don't care much about who wins or loses, and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting, and they often feel puzzled(迷惑的)at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.
(1)What is true about children when they play games?
A.They can stop playing any time they like.
B.They can test their personal abilities.
C.They want to pick a better team.
D.They don't need rules.
(2)To become a leader in a game the child has to ________.
A.play well
B.wait for his turn
C.be confident in himself
D.be popular among his playmates
(3)Why does a child like playing games?
A.Because he can be someone other than himself.
B.Because he can become popular among friends.
C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
(4)The writer believes that _____.
A.children should make better rules for their games.
B.children should invite grown-ups to play with them.
C.children's games can do them a lot of good.
D.children play games without reasons.

【题目】All of England

In fact, literary landmarks are so common in London that “blue plaques(木牌)” have been introduced to show off well-known literary sites. One of the more interesting plaques can be found at 221B Baker Street-the apartment of famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes (although we can be pretty sure that he never actually stayed there).

Outside of London, it is possible to take organized tours around the countryside where England best writers grew up. If you join a Charles Dickens or Jane Austen tour, you’ll have the unique opportunity to visit the locations of famous fictional scenes. But to truly experience literature in person, you can visit Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, and watch nightly performances of his plays.

Shanghai, China

Shanghai is a really charming city, where — underneath the surface of the city — one can find some real literary treasures. One star of Shanghai literature is LU Xun, a Writer often celebrated as the father of modern Chinese literature, who spent his last nine years in the city. It’s necessary, then, for all Shanghai literary travelers to visit Lu Xun Park, which features a memorial hall dedicated to the great writer.

Another place worth visiting is the old neighborhood of poet Xu Zhimo. Xu is well known for bringing “New Wave” romanticist poetry into Chinese works. Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore once stayed at his home while visiting Shanghai.

Rome, Italy

The English romantic poet John Keats once traveled to Rome in the hope that the Mediterranean air would cure his tuberculosis(肺结核). It didn’t, and Keats died within three months.

Despite the fact that Keat’s visit was a quick one, Rome has a reminder of it — the Keats-Shelley House. Keats’ former home has been transformed into a small museum, complete with a working library.

What’s more, just across the street is the Antico Caffe Greco, a cafe frequented by famous authors like Charles Dickens, Loud Byron, Henry James, Hans Christian Andersen, Many Shelley...We could go on, but you probably get the idea that this is somewhere any literary traveler has to go.

1This passage is mainly about ________ in different places.

A. cultural introduction B. famous poets

C. scenic spots D. literary sites

2In England, ________.

A. Shakespeare’s plays are performed anywhere

B. Sherlock Holmes once lived in London for a short time

C. blue plaques are pinned to mark the literary sites

D. June Austen’s former residence is in London

3From the second part of the passage, we know ________.

A. Lu Xun Park is mainly made up of his former houses

B. Tagore once visited Xu Zhimo

C. Xu Zhimo created realistic Chinese poetry

D. Lu Xun spent all his lifetime in Shanghai

4Antico Caffe Greco is ________.

A. a beautiful and grand construction

B. a museum in honor of John Keats

C. a place providing various collections of poems

D. a cafe which was visited by many authors in history

【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的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。
Not all children want to listen to their parents. However, parents have been around for at least two decades or so longer than their kids. Here are four ways in which they might be right.
People should want to grow and change with time in a good way. People who hang around with those who are not as smart as they are will stagnate (停滞). So try to surround yourself with people who are worth learning from.
The more you learn, the less you really know. People tend to believe that they are right about everything before they've really learned anything about the world. This is largely due to contrast: people will realize how ignorant (无知) they were in the past after they've learned certain things, making them realize how much they've left to learn.
Growing up too fast is truly bad. However, these are the years when you are going to be more protected from the cruel realities of adulthood. You should try to appreciate this aspect of this life stage without being concerned with pushing your development too hard.
It is better to try and fail than fail to try. Children have to learn that failure is part of life. However, the sting (刺痛) of failure disappears gradually, and the regret about missed opportunities is going to sting far more for many adults. So don't stop going for certain goals because of a fear of failure.
A. Parents are wiser than you think.
B. It's hard enough for adults to accept.
C. Being around people who don't challenge you is a bad idea.
D. Your childhood years may not be the best years of your life.
E. They have some life experience, and it makes sense to listen to them.
F. People who bring out the best in others will reach their personal best.
G. By the time they have, they'll realize how complicated (复杂) the world can be.
