【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。 When people introduce themselves, I always hear them say "I'm just a housewife". I don't understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and self-pity. Is it, really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?
How could you be "just a housewife" when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service? A housewife works for the longest hour, supporting your husband, child studies, caring for elders, managing finances, paying bills, grocery shopping, cooking according to individual taste, cleaning, etc. A housewife could be anyone: daughter, wife, mother, teacher, financial advisor, fashion designer and nurse, gardener, driver, cook, and so on. Don't think you are not being paid for it. You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family, their trust for you, a happy home and your own satisfaction.
It is you who choose to be in this occupation, willingly or for any other reason. After a busy day, all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you. They know you will be there to absorb all their stress and tiredness and relax them. Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?
Respect yourself for what you are. Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. The world understands the importance of your job; it's time to make them accept it. Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes "I am a housewife". Kick that "just" out..

(3)D推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? 如果你一直在外面工作挣钱,你的生活会是一样的吗?Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money? 你会和你的家人用那笔钱一起去买你现在正享受的所有的东西吗?根据这种虚拟结构的问句可知:如果去外面工作,你会失去你现在正在享受的生活。故选D。
(4)A主观意图题。根据最后一段中Respect yourself for what you are. 尊重你自己。Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity. 向全世界介绍自己的尊严。The world understands the importance of your job;世人明白你工作的重要性it's time to make them accept it. 是时候让他们接受了。Introduce yourself with pride自豪地自我介绍。可知A项符合语境。

It is important to introduce yourself in a creative, memorable way to distinguish yourself from the crowd. Since being witty(言辞诙谐的) doesn't always come easily, try one of these creative introductions and separate yourself from the rest.
Write your first or last name on a piece of paper. So if your name is Tom, you might say you are tireless, optimistic and mild.
Then say that you will do so in the words of your“best and worst critic”— your mother. By breaking the ice in this way, you can go on in either a humorous or serious fashion.
Introduce yourself silently, by drawing a picture of yourself on a large sheet of paper. In fact, in some situations, it may be better if you don't. Put a title at the top of your drawing, if you like, such as “Hello! This is me.”
Turn the traditional introduction upside down by describing yourself in exactly opposite terms of who you are. Have fun with this“back door approach”, and keep people guessing just how much you are exaggerating(夸张). Don't bother calling me tomorrow, because I will be hiding in a closet. Send text messages to my girlfriend while I drink a Bud Light on the job.
A. This introduction requires you to be gifted in art.
B. Freely admit that you don't like talking about yourself.
C. It doesn't matter whether you have artistic abilities or not.
D. For example: I am probaby the laziest person you will ever meet.
E. Use each letter as the first letter in an adjective that describes you.
F. Bring in the surprise factor— sometimes known as the shock factor.
G. After all, anybody can stand up and announce their name, business title and job responsibilities.

【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。
Controlling Anger
Becoming angry is something beyond the control of people. Becoming angry can do a lot of damages, both mental and physical. However, there are methods for discovering how to control anger and not suffer later.
The moment you feel there are chances of you becoming angry, get away from those circumstances. In fact, there can be no better a judge than you, for discovering what it is or who it is that makes you become angry, and then at that moment choose to think about something else that can lighten your feelings.
● Keep a check on your breathing. By controlling the process of breathing, you can actually slow down your anger greatly. You can count till the number three as you breathe in, hold it for 3 seconds and again count till three while breathing out. You have to concentrate on the count as you do this and repeat for as many times as is required.
For example, if you're experiencing road anger while driving, you can choose to tell yourself that the person who overtook you by a vehicle was in a hurry as a result of some emergency and appreciate the fact that nothing major had happened to your car. Repeat this form of self-talk to yourself every time you are in the middle of such an angry situation.
● Look for a support in other people. It needs to be clear right at the beginning as to why you are discussing your concerns with that individual. Let the other individual know what you want from the other person. After you're done with your part of discussing about the circumstances, chances are that you'll feel much better than before.
A. Talk to yourself positively.
B. Come to a stop as soon as you are angry.
C. Try to see the situation in a different light.
D. You can also ask for help from the one you rely on.
E. What you can do when you become angry is to breathe deeply.
F. In fact, almost all people at one point of time or the other become angry.
G. You can imagine going to a place you consider to be calming as well as relaxing.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Six years ago at the age of 35,I suddenly decided I wanted to learn the cello(大提琴).Straight away I rented an instrument and appeared before Wendell Margrave,professor of musical instruction.
"You can be as good as you want to be,"Margrave said rather mysteriously.On a piece of paper he drew the notes E and F.He showed me where to put my fingers on the neck of the cello and how to draw the bow.Then he entered my name in his book: 10 am,Tuesday.Tuesday followed Tuesday,and soon it was spring.
Thus began my voyage out of ignorance and into the dream.E-F,E-F,we played together—and moved on to G.It was a happy time.I was again becoming something new,and no longer trapped as the same person.Surely the most terrible recognition of middle life is that we are past changing.We do what we can already do.The cello was something I couldn't do.Yet each Tuesday this became less and less true.Riding home on the bus one snowy night and learning the score of Mozart's C-Major Quintet(莫扎特的C大调五重奏),I felt the page burst into music in my hands.I could by then more or less read a score,and was humming(哼唱)the cello line,when suddenly all five parts came together harmonically(和谐地) in my head.The fellow sitting opposite stared.I met his glance with tears,actually hearing the music in my head for the first time.Could he hear it too, perhaps?No,he got off at the next stop.
As the years slipped by,my daughter grew up,playing the piano well.My goal was that she and I would one day perform together.I also wanted to perform in public with and for my peers,and to be secretly envied.I continued to play,to perform,but it is not the same.Before,when I heard a cello,it was all beauty and light.Now,as the TV camera gets close to Rostropovich's face,I recognize that his smile shows his incredible determination.Even for him,the cello is a difficult instrument that doesn't respect your ambitions.I picked up my cello and practiced.As good as I wanted to be,I am as good as I'm going to get.It is good enough.
(1)From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that_______ .
A.the author already knew some cello basics
B.the author went to a cello lesson every Tuesday
C.the author bought a cello after he decided to learn it
D.Wendell Margrave was a famous but mysterious professor
(2)The author writes that "it was a happy time" in Paragraph 3 mainly because .
A.he felt very bored with his new life
B.it was beautiful to be able to hear the music in his mind
C.Professor Margrave made learning the cello very easy for him
D.he enjoyed the feelings of growth and getting closer to his dream
(3)From the last paragraph,it can be inferred that the author .
A.put on shows with his daughter
B.was determined to catch up with Rostropovich
C.is happy to have kept up his personal development
D.was confident that his peers would envy him for his cello playing ability
(4)The purpose of the article is mainly to .
A.show his deep gratitude to his cello tutor
B.advise readers on how to improve their cello skills
C.describe his incredible efforts to overcome difficulties
D.encourage readers that it's never too late to pursue their dreams

【题目】Foreign drivers will have a pay on-the-spot fines of up to 900 for breaking the traffic law to be carried out next month.

If they do not have enough cash or a working credit card, their vehicles will clamped(扣留) until they pay—and they will face an additional fee of 80 for getting back their vehicles.

The law will also apply to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits” when the traffic law takes effect, because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice, very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.

Foreign drivers are rarely charged because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often merely give warnings.

Three million foreign-registered vehicles enter Britain each year. Polish vehicles make up 36 percent, French vehicles 10 percent and German vehicles 9 percent.

Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2003 and 2008. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,000 slight injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2008.

The new law is partly intended to settle the problem of foreign lorry drivers ignoring limits on weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries. Recent spot checks found that three quarters of lorries that failed safety tests were registered overseas.

The standard deposit for a careless driving offence —such as driving too close to the vehicle in front or reading a map at the wheel—will be 300. Deposits for speeding offences and using mobile phones will be 60. Foreign drivers will not get points as punishment added to their licenses, while British drivers will.

1The first paragraph serves as a(n) ________.

A. explanation B. introduction

C. comment D. background

2The foreign drivers who break the traffic law and do not pay on the spot are likely to be fined up to ________.

A. 60 B. 300

C. 900 D. 980

3We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. many foreign drivers have been fined by Britain police

B. 300,000 German vehicles enter Britain every year

C. 25 percent of foreign vehicles entering Britain have failed safety tests

D. British drivers will be punished with points and fines for breaking the traffic law

4The new traffic law is mainly intended to ________.

A. limit the number of foreign vehicles entering Britain

B. increase the Britain government’s additional income

C. reduce the rate of traffic accidents and injuries

D. get foreign drivers to appear in court
