【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
The Board Meeting had come to an end. Bob started to stand up and pushed the table, spilling his coffee over his notes. “How embarrassing!I am getting so clumsy in my old age.”
Everyone had a good laugh, and soon we were all telling stories of our most embarrassing moments. It came around to Frank who sat quietly listening to the others.
Frank began,“My Dad was a fisherman. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to feed the family. Not just enough for our family, but also for his Mom and Dad and the other kids that were still at home.”
Frank's voice dropped a bit.“When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like everybody would be standing around and watching. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so embarrassing for me. Here I was twelve years old, and my Dad would lean over and kiss me good-bye!”
He paused and then went on,“I remember the day I thought I was too old for a good-bye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean toward me, but I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.’ It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this surprised look on his face. I said, ‘Dad, I'm too old for a good-bye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.’ My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear. I had never seen him cry. He turned. ‘You're right,’ he said. ‘You are a big boy ... a man. I won't kiss you anymore.’”
For the moment, the tears began to well up in Frank's eyes. “It wasn't long after that when my Dad went to sea and never came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again.“Guys, you don't know what I would give to have my Dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek.”
(1)Why Frank felt embarrassed when his father kissed him good-bye at that time?
A.Because he didn't want his father to drive him to school.
B.Because his classmates would laugh at him.
C.Because everybody was standing around and watching him.

A.felt surprised and didn't know what to do
B.felt a little angry but agreed not to kiss him anymore

【答案】

(2)C
(3)B
(4)D
(5)B
【解析】① 从文章倒数第三段“Dad, I'm too old for a good-bye kiss. I'm too old for any kind of kiss.” 可知弗兰克在那个时候觉得自己不是小孩子了,不再需要那样的吻了。
② 从倒数第三段“My Dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear. I had never seen him cry.” 以及“You are a big boy ... a man. I won't kiss you anymore.”可知,父亲听了弗拉克的话之后很难过,但是还是说不会再亲弗兰克了。
③ 从文章第四段 “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school.” 可知是天气不好的时候父亲才会开车送弗兰克去学校。
④ 从整篇文章以及弗兰克讲述的情况来看,他早就不把它当成是尴尬的事情了,他懂得了父亲的爱,非常后悔那时候的拒绝,他的故事也教会我们要珍惜与家人相处的时光。
⑤ 作为标题来讲,A、C、D都很笼统。

【题目】请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。

Life is not easy when you are pursuing something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile. Here are five life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.

It takes consistent time and effort to be an expert in any area. People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.

You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly. Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career. Worst of all, people follow them without even asking. There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

We don’t care about the things we get easily. Take health for example. Very few people take their health seriously. They know that if their health is lost, they won’t be happy, but they still eat junk food and never exercise. Why? Because they don’t take their health seriously and the real reason behind that is they have got it for free. We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely. Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it?

Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different than anyone else’s out there in the world. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own trail by listening to your heart.

Break the rules sometimes. We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily. This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life, there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so. But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so-called rules are your biggest obstacles, BREAK THEM. Sometimes, we need to be bold and act courageously.

5 life lessons you will learn the hard way

●Time-consuming tasks often bring2 to people.

●It is not a good idea to abandon what you are5 in for old beliefs.

Never ignore the things we get easily

Most people don’t6 what they get for nothing, like health.

Take the road by listening to your heart

●People are usually trying to be like someone else because they are afraid of 7 .

●You need to be 8 to listen to your heart before you pay a high price.

Break the rules sometimes

●People tend follow rules so that they can9 making things out of order.

●When rules become 【10 to your goal, you should break them boldly and courageously.

【题目】Women are friendly. But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found it’s all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.

“Women tend to be social in their behavior. They often share with others. But men tend to be competitive. They are trying to improve their social status,” said Professor Ryan.

Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions such as falling in love or giving birth.

But in a previous experiment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.

Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.

Professor Ryan’s recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants received oxytocin. The other half received placebo(安慰剂).

After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.

Following each treatment, they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.

The results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, men’s ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.

Professor Ryan thus concluded: “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise people’s abilities to better distinguish different social interactions. And the behavior differences between men and women are caused by biological factor(因素)that are mainly hormonal.”

【1】Which of the following causes men and women to behave differently ?

A.Social situations. B. The social status.

C.Placebo.D. Biological factors.

2What can we learn from Professor Ryan’s previous experiment?

A. Oxytocin affects our behavior in a different way.

B. During the experiment the participants received different materials

C. Our body produces oxytocin when we feel unhappy about others’ success.

D. Oxytocin improves our abilities to understand people’s behavior differences.

3 Professor Ryan conducted the recent experiment______.

A. by using 144 participants in total.

B. after a week conducted a previous experiment.

C. To test the effect of oxytocin on the ability to recognize social interactions.

D. to test the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations

4 Where does this text probably come from?

A. A newspaper advertisement.

B. A science magazine.

C. Science fiction.

D. A news report.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags(标签) can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, the y cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran(老练的)shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions(获得物) have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh's tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
(1)Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.
A.they are forg etful
B.they are in a hurry
C.there is no lost and found office in many airports
D.the owners of some luggage can’t be identified
(2)The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.
A.they have to find the owners

(3)The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.
A.there's a large variety of goods.
B.all the things there are very cheap.
C.visitors may purchase something undervalued.
D.Visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.
(4)What can we infer from the passage?
A.A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.
B.The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.
C.The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.
D.People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.
(5)What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.
B.To introduce an attractive place to tourists.
C.To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.
D.To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.
