    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    阅读理解

    　　A year ago I began training to swim the English Channel．I will be 58 years old．My friends thought I had lost my mind, and my wife was somewhat worried．The question I was asked over and over was this, “Why?”

    　　When a student reporter at Indiana recently asked me this question, I said, “First, let me ask you a question．What are your plans for this summer?”

    　　He replied that he was going to work in a supermarket．I didn’t have to say more．He understood my point．

    　　A challenge and something of an adventure are welcome whether you are 20 or 58, and preparing to swim the Channel is far better than working in a supermarket, especially when you have a choice．

    　　But why did I decide to swim the Channel at 58?Perhaps I myself can hardly give a satisfactory answer．

    　　The Channel has always been the greatest challenge to swimmers, a test of ability, luck, and even bravery．It is this challenge that attracts about 100 swimmers a year, who are willing to spend time, effort, and money trying it．

    　　One fact that adds to my interest is that, if I succeed, I will be the oldest person ever to swim the Channel．

    　　I don’t think I am a superman．I do think I have at least two things in favor：

    　　First, I am training hard－now swimming 7 and a half miles a day．Second, I am a resolute(有决心的)man．Once I set up a goal, I won’t give it up easily．And this swim has long been a goal．I have a feeling－I will be mentally ready．

    　　On the other hand there was a young girl who was attempting(试图)to finish her swim when the ocean got rough．She was having a hard time with the rough and cold water, when her trainer shouted to her from the boat that he thought she should give up and get out of the water．She shouted back, “I’m doing the swimming, and I’ll decide when to get out．” She made it．

    (1)

    The statement “He understood my point” could be most suitably replaced by “_________”．

    [　　]

    A．

    he understood it was difficult for me to give a proper answer

    B．

    he understood I did not like his question and did not want to answer it

    C．

    he understood what my question meant：setting up a challenging goal makes life more interesting

    D．

    he understood I thought little of his plans for that summer．

    she made a good show of her courage and bravery

    　　What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined(有决心的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference (爱好), and the effect that colours have on human beings(人类).They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colour a we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

    　　A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful(愉快的)and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑的). Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .

    　　Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief or a lampshade(灯罩).

    [　　]

    A．one can choose his colour preference

    B．one is born with his colour preference

    C．one's colour preference is changeable

    A．colours do affect our moods(情绪)

    B．colours may affect our work and study

    C．light and bright colours make people happy
