【题目】 There it was. A test of will power. I was on a special diet with foods carefully selected for balanced nutrition and caloric value. A piece of cheese cake was not a good choice. So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym? Or should I eat the cheese cake and work off the calories?
The latter seemed like a win-win solution. Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I’d get an exercise session (训练时段). And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive. I plated a thin slice of cheese cake and carefully walked it up the stairs and set it on my bedside table with a small fork. I put on my exercise outfit (全套服装) and went downstairs.
The appeal of the cheese cake got stronger so I launched my plan: I would run up and down the stairs and then back up again. My reward: one small bite of cheese cake. If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up again. Off I went. Ah, creamy vanilla (香草) goodness without guilt. I wanted another bite so I quickly sprinted (冲刺) through another stair climbing run.
Admittedly, it was harder to enjoy the creaminess of the cheese cake when my tongue was dry from over-breathing. I placed a bottle of water next to the cake. Down and up and down and up again. When I struggled over to the cheese cake, my hand bypassed the plate and went for the water instead. I didn’t want the cake any more. I wanted all this sweat and effort to do more than cancel the calories from cheese cake. I was exhausted and sure the cheese cake tasted fine but just not good enough to make me run up and down the stairs one more time.
My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favorite, I remembered my stairs trick.

【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者制定了一个计划既可以享受自己的美食,也可以激励自己去锻炼,结果这个计划奏效了。
【1】推理判断题。根据文章第一段“So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym?(所以我的两难选择是:我不应该吃奶酪蛋糕,不应该对健身房里那个令人恼火的体育教练感到不满,不应该把我的沮丧发泄出来?)”可知作者对吃违背她健康饮食的东西时犹豫不决。故选D项。
【2】词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Not only would I get to enjoy the cheese cake, but I’d get an exercise session (训练时段). And then it hit me: a delicate plan to use my cheese cake as an exercise incentive.我不仅可以享受奶酪蛋糕,还可以锻炼身体。然后我突然想到一个微妙的计划,用我的奶酪蛋糕作为锻炼的动力。”可知此处incentive译为“激励、动力”,reason符合题意。故选A项。
【3】细节理解题。根据文章第三段“If I wanted another, I’d have to run down and up and down and up again.如果我想再来一个,我就得一次又一次的跑来跑去。”可知作者的计划涉及到很多能量的消耗。故选A项。
【4】主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“My plan worked. Now, any time I felt tempted to enjoy a former favorite, I remembered my stairs trick.我的计划奏效了。现在每当我沉迷于以前的最爱,我就会想起我的楼梯技巧。”可知作者制定了一个计划既可以享受自己喜欢的美食,又可以激励自己去锻炼,而且计划奏效了。所以短文的最佳标题为“一个成功的小把戏”故选C项。
推理判断题是指在理解原文字面意思的基础上,通过对语篇逻辑关系的分析和细节的暗示,做出一定的判断和推理,从而得到文章的深层意义和隐含意义的过程。如第1小题,询问从第一段中我们能推断出作者什么信息?根据文章第一段“So here was my dilemma: Should I not eat the cheese cake, feel dissatisfied and take out my disappointment on the annoyingly skinny physical instructor at the gym?(所以我的两难选择是:我不应该吃奶酪蛋糕,不应该对健身房里那个令人恼火的体育教练感到不满,不应该把我的沮丧发泄出来?)”可知作者对吃违背她的健康饮食的东西时犹豫不决。故选D项。

【题目】 Every morning, Ben Mumford starts his school day with math. At the age of ten, he is already working at GCSE level, but he does not always bother to get out of his pajamas (睡衣裤) in time for the class. He reads more books than most of his friends, studies science on the beach, and recently built a go-kart (卡丁车) in a technology lesson. Ben is happy and fulfilled, all, his mother believes, thanks to homeschooling.
Homeschooling is not what it used to be. What emerged in the 1970s as a way for Catholic (信天主教的) parents to infuse (灌输) religion into their kids’ education is now probably the fastest-growing form of education in the U.K. The number of homeschooled children has risen by about 40 percent over three years. Here are a handful of reasons why homeschooling makes sense in the 21st century.
Contrary to the name, homeschooling takes place in an actual home only a small part of time. A great deal of instruction happens in libraries, museums and community colleges. These experiences have the effect of helping kids mature much more quickly and developing a trait of open-mindedness.
The key idea of homeschooling is that kids need to learn at the speed, and in the style, most appropriate for them. Without formal curriculum to guide their education, homeschoolers get the chance to explore a range of topics that might not be normally offered until high school or college. They can study psychology in the fourth grade, or finance in the eighth grade.
The most common misunderstanding about homeschoolers is that they lack social skills. However, social media makes it convenient for homeschoolers of today to have just as much opportunity to make friends as kids studying in traditional schools. Meanwhile, they do not need to deal with the potential problems of being around kids in a school environment, including bullying, which might result in anxiety and depression.
For most people, school is really good, and it works for them because they learn in the way that school teaches. However, there are so many different ways of learning and processing (处理) information and knowledge. It does not necessarily work for everyone.
【1】What is the attitude of Ben’s mother towards homeschooling?
A.Favorable.
B.Critical.
C.Indifferent.
D.Doubtful.
【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Homeschoolers grow up more quickly.
B.Homeschoolers have trouble making friends.
C.Homeschooled children learn in the way they like.
D.Homeschooled children just stay at home and get knowledge.
【3】The underline word “trait” most probably means ______.
A.ability.
B.disadvantage.
C.thought.
D.characteristic.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Homeschooling is on the rise.
B.Homeschooling is not for everyone.
C.Homeschoolers can learn freely.
D.Homeschoolers can make more friends.

【题目】 In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of “trash talk”. The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society’s moral catastrophes, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments of other people’s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual’s quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a “final word”. He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show’s main target audiences are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time,money, and stability to deal with life’s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18 to 21 year olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex,money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show’s exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.
【1】Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience ____.
A.remain indifferent to themB.are ready to face up to them
C.remain fascinated by themD.are willing to get involved in them
【2】Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A.A new type of robot.B.Family budget planning.
C.Racist hatred.D.Street violence.
【3】Despite their different approaches, the two talk shows are both ____.
A.ironicB.instructiveC.sensitiveD.cynical
【4】We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows ____.
A.are targeted at different audiencesB.exploit the weakness in human nature
C.appear at different times of the dayD.have monopolized the talk show circuit
