【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.

【答案】

1D

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,作者今年夏天和两个孙子在石山公园度过了一段美好的时光,爬山的经历让他明白了一个道理:我们在生活中虽然经常会遭遇考验,但是真正让我们高兴的不是考验结束了,而是我们从考验中学到了东西,因此我们要学会享受这个过程。

1 细节理解题,根据句意可知,石山虽然不是特别高,幸运的是,还有步行道直通山顶,但是对于两个五岁的孩子和一位老爷爷来说,这是一个艰难的任务。由此可以推测出formidable意为“困难的;可怕的”。故选D。

2细节理解题,根据文章第2段中的“…t took 3of 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.”可知,作者比他的两个孙子走得快得多。故选B。

3细节理解题,根据文章第3段中的“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.”可知,作者只想着到达山顶是为了可以好好休息。故选A。

4主旨大意题,文章介绍了作者今年夏天和两个孙子在石山公园度过了一段美好的时光,爬山的经历让他明白了一个道理:我们在生活中虽然经常会遭遇考验,但是真正让我们高兴的不是考验结束了,而是我们从考验中学到的东西,因此我们要学会享受这个过程。由此可知,选D

【题目】How to Have a Successful Remote Interview?

If interviews make you nervous, the thought of doing one remotely might be a relief. 1 Even if your interviewer may have a hard time seeing you sweat, they will still ask questions. Think of a phone or video interview as an extra opportunity to impress. If you create a genuine connection with someone without being in the same place as them, chances are they’ll trust your ability. 2

● Test your equipment.

3 For a video interview, it’s important to do a trial run in advance, since they can be especially troublesome. “These are live, so it’s very important to test your connection ahead of time,” says Scott Dobroski, the director of Corporate Communication at Glassdoor.

4

You don’t want your interviewer to think you’re in an underground place. So skip the dark, dull mood lighting. Pick a spot where the light is facing you and try to set yourself up in a relaxing atmosphere and at a comfortable distance. Ideally, have slightly an inch of space above your head.

● Take your time.

A common mistake people make is cutting someone else off in conversation. This is even easier to do when you can’t see the person you’re talking to. So even if it feels slightly unnatural, wait for a while after your interviewer finishes a sentence. 5 He may understand why. But you don’t want to come across as rushing the conversation or being more interested in hearing yourself talk than establishing a connection.

A.Get the atmosphere right.

B.But you should still take them seriously.

C.Here are three tips to make the whole process go smoothly.

D.Buy a phone or video before you have the interview.

E.Gutting him off a time or two might not be a big problem.

F.Make sure that your phone is charged and your Wi-Fi works.

G.Your interviewer will be happy to see you cut him off.

【题目】任务型阅读
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.

【题目】Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The Internet has now become available in almost every location, which opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born.

There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher was saying. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and they are struggling to find time for school, sports and etc. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course.

It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating, from simply spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling(驱逐)a student. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Another simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics.

There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyone's help, it can be stopped.

1What does the underlined word “justified” probably mean in this passage?

A. reasonable B. necessary

C. praiseworthy D. preventable

2The reason that is given by most students who think cheating is understandable is that _____.

A. they don't understand their teachers' words

B. they bury themselves in a lot of homework

C. they don't have enough time to complete the study tasks

D. they forget to look over the material

3What is the disadvantage of scolding the cheating students according to the passage?

A. They may continue to cheat next time.

B. They may be hurt mentally.

C. They may use other cheating tactics.

D. They may get on badly with their teachers.
