19.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.More often it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

41.The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenA.
A.they offer their help           
B.they receive others'help
C.they feel others'kindness      
D.they show their weakness
42.The author feels sad sometimes becauseD.
A.he has a soft heart               
B.he relies much on others
C.some people pretend to be kind    
D.some people fail to see the kindness in others
43.What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?B
A.They speed up to pass.
B.They waited with patience.
C.They tried their best to help.
D.They put on their flashlights too.
44.In this passage,the author advises us toC.
A.handle problems by ourselves     
B.accept help from others
C.admit our weakness             
D.show our bravery
45.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?B
A.A Wheelchair Experience.
B.Weakness and Kindness.
C.Weakness and Strength           
D.A Driving Experience.

分析 在动物界示弱会遭受攻击而在人类社会示弱会得到他人的友善帮助.与此同时,提供帮助的人也会从中得到快乐.逞强或假装坚强的人看不到他人的友善,也使他人失去了为其提供帮助的机会.上个月作者因身感不适缓慢开车,导致跟在后面的司机暴躁,生气,超车,按喇叭甚至朝他大吼.但是,当他们看到作者打开车灯示意有问题时,又都对作者显示了他们的耐心与善意.通常情况下,当我们处于劣势时或害怕时能够示弱,不逞强,将有助于我们处境的好转.

解答 ADBCB
41  A. 细节理解题.先抓住第一段最后一句"And I have discovered that it makes them happy."中的it.理解it为指示代词,指代前文出现的内容.所以再根据前面一句"I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat."可知,人们在给别人提供帮助的时候感到快乐.故选A.
42  D. 细节理解题.根据第二段"but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily"可知,一些人会与他人的善意擦肩而过.故选D.
43   B.细节理解题.根据第五段"But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak."中instead of(而不是)可知,司机耐心地等待.故选B.
44  C. 推理判断题.根据文章最后一句"it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared."可知,适时示弱,承认自己的缺陷会改善我们的处境.故选C.
45  B.标题归纳.抓住文章的主题句--第一段中的"But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people."下面的内容都是为了进一步的阐述,论证.故选B.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

11.When I was growing up in America,I was ashamed of my mother's Chinese English.Because of her English,she was often treated unfairly.People in department stores,at banks,and at restaurants did not take her seriously,did not give her good service,pretended not to understand her,or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well.When I was fifteen,she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her.I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her.One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing,"This is Mrs.Tan…"And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly,"Why he don't send me check already two weeks ago?"And then,in perfect English I said,"I'm getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago,but it hasn't arrived."
Then she talked more loudly,"What he want?I come to New York tell him front of his boss."And so I turned to the stockbroker again,"I can't tolerate any more excuse.If I don't receive the check immediately,I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week."
The next week we ended up in New York.While I was sitting there red-faced,my mother,the real Mrs.Tan,was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager,my mother's broken English embarrassed me.But now,I see it differently.To me,my mother's English is perfectly clear,perfectly natural.It is my mother tongue.Her language,as I hear it,is vivid,direct,and full of observation and wisdom.It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things,expressed ideas,and made sense of the world.
25.Why was the author's mother poorly served?D
A.She was not very polite.
B.She was often misunderstood.
C.She was not clearly heard.

B.they went to New York immediately
C.they forgave the stockbroker

14.Promotion at work can be good for the pocket.However,it can also be very risky for a person's mental health,according to British researchers from the University of Warwick in Coventry.
The new findings go strongly against the common belief that advancement in a career can result in better health because of an increased sense of self-confidence,life control and overall well-being(幸福感)."Getting a promotion at work is not as great as many people may think.Our research finds that the mental health of managers typically deteriorates after a job promotion and goes beyond merely a short-term change in a way,"said Chris Boyce,the researcher of the University of Warwick.He also added that they could not find any health benefits in individuals who had had job promotions.Instead,these people don't go to hospital to have health checks as often as they should,which may be something to worry about rather than celebrate.
To find out whether there is a connection between job advancement and physical health,Boyce and his team used data from the British Household Panel Survey.The data contained information on nearly 1,000 recently promoted individuals in the United Kingdom.And the data contained information on many aspects of life,including work and self-reported health.After analyzing all the available information,they discovered that there was no evidence of improved physical health after a job promotion.
However,what the researchers did find was evidence of greater mental stress.The experts found that promotion gives people,on average,10 percent more mental stress and up to 20 percent less time to visit their doctors in the event of illness.Matt Smith,a Scottish health expert,said mental stress is caused by working long hours.He said,"When someone is promoted there might be even more pressure to work longer hours and therefore they can't afford the time to care about their health."
63.According to the text we can learn that work promotionD.
A.is traditionally believed to be harmful to people's health
B.decreases people's self-confidence and happiness
C.gives people more chances to have health checks
D.can help raise people's income to some extent
64.The underlined word"deteriorates"in the second paragraph means"becomesD".
A.satisfying     B.doubtful      C.optimistic    D.worse
65.What do we know from Boyce's research?A
A.It analyzed many aspects of the promoted individuals'lives.
B.It surveyed 1,000 people in the world.
C.It showed how people gained work promotion.
D.It proved that work promotion may lead to a short-term change in health.
66.From the last paragragh we can learn thatA.
A.people who are promoted suffer from increased mental stress
B.the work after promotion will take up 20 percent of people's leisure time
C.promoted individuals tend to pay more attention to their health
D.poor health condition makes promoted individuals feel stressed
67.What is the best title for this text?B
A.Work Promotion Helps Increase Self-Confidence
B.Work Promotion Is Actually Bad for One's Health
C.Work Promotion Means Having to Work Harder
D.Work Promotion Brings Wealth and Health.
