【题目】The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.
Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.
But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.
One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all the schools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”
That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task, you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.
【1】What does the underlined sentence mean?
A. Each child got an important job.
B. Each child got an interesting job.
C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preference.
D. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.
【2】What is Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion?
A. Negative. B. Uncertain.
C. Totally positive. D. Acceptive.
【3】We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.
A. hunter B. director
C. biologist D. principal
【答案】
【1】D
【2】A
【3】C
【解析】
试题分析:本文叙述了学生Rita的工作是照顾蚂蚁,这让她很失望,但是她还是认真地去做她通过调查了解了很多关于蚂蚁的知识。因此,她却为全班同学赢得了暑假去热带雨林研究昆虫的机会。由此告诉人们:只有认真做好一些小事,才有可能赢得更重要的机会。
【1】D推理判断题。根据上下文语境可知,老师在分配任务时会考虑到孩子们去年的表现,Rita表现最突出,但并没有得到最好的工作——她的工作是照顾蚂蚁,也就是“令人意外的事情(surprise)”发生了。即最负责任的学生得到了那份工作是最无趣的。故该题正确答案为D.
【2】A细节信息题。根据文章第三段中Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.可知,Rita并没有听她父亲的。故该题正确答案为A. Negative否定的.
【3】C推理判断题。A. hunter猎人;B. director主管;导演;C. biologist 生物学家;D. principal校长;根据文章倒数第二段中One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects.可知,他将会和孩子们一块儿去热带雨林研究昆虫,所以他应该是个生物学家。故该题正确答案为C.

【题目】The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
【1】What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
【2】One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D. some stories make themselves feel uneasy
【3】Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A. freed B. broken C. unfolded D. untouched
【4】The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends

【题目】Before we start a voyage, we usually try to find out more or less definitely where we are bound and how we are supposed to get there.
I happen to have the “Concise Oxford dictionary” on my desk and that will do as well as any other. The word I am looking for appears at the bottom of Page 344. edition 1912.
“Geography: the science of the earth's surface, form, physical features, natural and political divisions, climate, productions and population.”
I could not possibly hope to do better, but I still stress some of the aspects of the case at the expenses of others, because I intend to place man in the centre of the stage. This book of mine will not merely discuss the surface of the earth and its physical features, together with its political and natural boundaries. I would rather call it a study of man in search of food and shelter and leisure for himself and for his family and an attempt to his background or has reshaped his physical surroundings in order to be comfortable and well nourished and happy with his limited strength.
Among the two million human beings in the world, there is of course the widest possible range for all sorts of experiments of an economic and social and cultural nature. It seems that those experiments deserve our attention before anything else. For a mountain is after all merely a mountain until it has been seen by human eyes and has been walked on by human feet and until its slopes
The Atlantic Ocean was just as wide and deep and as wet and salty before the beginning of the 13th century as after, but it took the human touch to make it what it is today—a bridge between the New World and the Old, the highway for the commerce between East and West.
For thousands of years the endless Russian plains lay ready to offer their abundant harvest to whoever should take the trouble to sow the first grain. But the aspect of that country today would he a very different one if the hand of a German or a Frank, rather than that of a Slav, had guided the iron-pointed stick that plowed the first furrows (犁沟).
The island of Nippon would shake and quake just as continually, whether they happened to be settled by Japanese or by the Tasmanian race, but in the latter case they would hardly be able to feed 60,000,000 people.
Generally speaking, I have paid more attention to the purely “human” side of geography than to the commercial problems which are so important in a day and age devoted to mass production.
【1】 In the first four paragraphs, the author wants to share with the readers ______.
A. his approach to planning a voyage
B. his emphasis on using a dictionary
C. his definition of the word “geography”
D. his altitude to the earth's physical features
【2】Which of the following will the author NOT consider to be on experiment according to Paragraph 5?
A. Exploring a mountain.
B. Climbing a mountain.
C. Planting on slopes and valleys.
D. Becoming hungry.
【3】The author mentioned the Russian plains and the island of Nippon to show that _____.
A. they both feed a lot of people
B. they enjoy very good natural conditions
C. different people may make the same place different
D. their natural conditions haven't changed for many years
【4】【原创】How is the passage organized?
A. Topic ---Argument --- Explanation
B. Introduction --- Supporting examples --- Conclusion
C. Opinion --- Discussion --- Description

【题目】A new study from Harvard University revealed that the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy (同情心)is being mistaken by the message they actually send. In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else.
The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to them—achievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim.
In the study “The Children We Mean to Raise: The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values”, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (不一致) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior.
Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as “very important, if not essential”, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents “are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others”. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring.
As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling the true meanings in the blank spaces between well-organised words. If parents really want to let their kids know that they value care and sympathy, the authors suggest, they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people—even when it’s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with(与……不一致) their personal success.
【1】The first paragraph suggests that parents _____.
A. don’t intend to valuesuccess
B. fail to make students realize the importance of sympathy
C.value achievement less
D. regard achievement and happiness as the same
【2】What can be concluded from the study?
A. About 80% of the students are not caring.
B. Kids care more about achievement.
C. 20% of the students are not ambitious.
D. A majority of the kids are kind students.
【3】What may be the cause for the reality gap?
A. Children’s desire for getting individual achievement.
B. The generation gap between parents and children.
C. Children’s failure to understand parents’ well-organised words.
D. Parents’ lack of a real effort to guide children.
