【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. ＂It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.＂ Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. ＂The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，＂ said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like ＂a shot in the arm＂，which ＂makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything＂. He said，＂The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.＂
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，＂Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.＂
（1）Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A.It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
B.It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C.Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
D.Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
（2）Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A.you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

【題目】My sister Jodie and I are always traveling for work．As jewelry designers, we need to go to a lot of shows．We can’t pack lightly and usually bring about four suitcases filled with our work．

Most of our stuff is made from heavy materials and metals．So part of the routine for us when we fly is getting stopped by security. Our jewelry sets off the alarms, and we’ve become accustomed to arriving early to go through private screenings. Most of the time, it’s not troublesome．

However, on our recent trip to a Paris trade show, we were stopped at security and asked to empty our bags．One of the agents walked over to another agent and they started whispering to each other．Both gentlemen came back, and one of them then told us that it seemed that we were carrying a very dangerous object．

My sister and I just said, “Huh?” Of course, we were a little concerned, thinking that maybe someone put something dangerous in one of our bags when we weren’t looking．

One of the agents then started to unpack our bags．I kept asking what he was looking for and then the object in question finally appeared．It was our Cosima necklace．It’s a piece of jewelry, with large, metal triangular spikes．

My sister and I looked at each other and breathed a huge sigh of relief．We started laughing and explained to the two male agents that it was just a necklace from our collection, not a weapon of mass destruction．They thought we were lying, and one agent kept repeating that he believed it was a weapon．

I tried to explain that we were jewelry designers going to a trade show, and this was simply a piece from our collection．But the agents didn’t buy it．Then a few women guards came over to assist．One of the women guards was holding an earring up to her ear and another was trying on a ring．Apparently, they liked our stuff．

It was only at this point that the male guards gave up．And I think they also got tired of listening to a bunch of women talk about jewelry．They let us through．

We took the names of the women agents and sent them a piece of jewelry when we got back to say thanks．

【1】When the object in question finally appeared, the writer and her sister felt _______．

A. anxious B. relieved

C. excited D. frightened

【2】The writer and her sister were stopped by the agents because ________．

A. their suitcases were too heavy

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
As a child grows out of being an infant and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well.
●Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.
● The more you say “please” and “thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.
●Agree to disagree. Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.
●Control your impulse to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior.
●Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments are not celebrated enough.
A．Teach manners by using polite requests and responses.
B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you.
C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.
D．If he sees you lose temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future.
E．A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits.
F．When you see your child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.
G．Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect.

【題目】Today we think of Abraham Lincoln as a great leader. What most of us don’t know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day.

Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪審團(tuán)), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincoln’s stories were irrelevant and distracting (轉(zhuǎn)移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincoln’s jokes more than anyone else in the court room.

As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “Nothing else — not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions — disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincoln’s saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.

As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincoln’s neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “What’s the matter, Mr. Lincoln?” the neighbor asked. “The same thing that’s the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln answered. “I have three walnuts, and each one of them wants two of them.”

One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.

【1】When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?

A. He wanted to satisfy the judge’s desire for jokes.

B. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.

C. He wanted to relieve his pressure.

D. He wanted to impress the jury.

【2】What might be Douglas’ attitude towards Lincoln’s humorous stories?

A. Appreciative. B. Annoyed.

C. Concerned. D. Surprised.

【3】What’s the purpose of the text?

A. To educate. B. To inform.

C. To persuade. D. To entertain.
