【題目】閱讀理解
It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we’ve got some time to kill.
I know where you think I’m going with this, and I also know you’ve heard it all before: seize the day, make the most of it, live life to its fullest, and so on. But that’s the problem. You’ve heard it all before. These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché. Luckily, that’s not my thing.
The real answers wake something up inside you. They make you think. That’s what I want to give you today, the story of Bobby Darin, which wakes you up to the truth.
If you haven’t heard of the man, I know you’ve heard his songs. Among his many hits are Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, and Splish Splash.
If seven years, Darin had several top ten hit songs, was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two), nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one), and even nominated for an Oscar.
So what was his secret?
All his life, Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness. The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited. And this was secret. He knew the truth. He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short. You can’t just say it; you can’t just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it. Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.
There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.
（1）Why do we all have the habit of delaying doing things?
A.Because we think we have time to count our thumb.
B.Because we want to live our life to its fullest.
C.Because we think time and tide wait for no man.
D.Because it takes time to build castle.
（2）The underlined word “cliché” in the second paragraph probably means .
A.motto
B.legend
C.often-made remark
D.long-lost verse
（3）What can we know about Bobby Darin from the passage?
A.He was nominated and won the Oscar Reward.
B.He committed suicide at home at last.
C.He got involved I not only music field but directing.
D.He took a positive attitude towards his illness.
（4）What is the secret to Bobby Darin’s success?
A.He knew his life expectancy was short.
B.He was too eager to become famous.
C.He was so devoted to music.
D.He was talented.

【答案】
（1）A
（2）C
（3）D
（4）A
【解析】文章主要通過講鮑比達林知道自己生命不長所以從不浪費，而是努力生活來告訴我們生命雖長不要浪費生命，不要推延時間，好好享受生命。

（1）細節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文章第一段“It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we’ve got some time to kill.”意思是我們似乎有很多時間，時間越長我們推遲的越久，因為我們覺得我們應(yīng)該可以消磨時間，而選項A的意思是因為我們有時間數(shù)拇指，意思也是消磨時間，故選A。

（2）推理判斷。These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché.這句話的意思是這些思想的影響已經(jīng)成為老生常談了。其中A的意思是座右銘，B：傳說，C：經(jīng)常的談?wù)�，D：久違的詩句，根據(jù)句意的理解，故選C。

（3）細節(jié)推斷，題干意思是我們可以從文中了解到Bobby Darin什么信息，根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第二段“Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage.”因為他知道他的時間有限，所以他會讓他僅有的生命更美好。其中選項D的意思是他對自己的病采取了積極的態(tài)度。而其他選項在文中都找不到相應(yīng)的語句，故選D。

（4）細節(jié)理解，根據(jù)文中“The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited.”意思是醫(yī)生說他很幸運地能活到16歲，換句話說他的生命是短暫的。故選A。

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
If you are a motivated person, it is easy to put your personal goals ahead of those of the people around you. It is natural and not necessarily a bad thing. However, it is crucial t learn to be a team player. Acting as a part of a team builds character, teacher empathy （共鳴）, and eventually achieves goals.Here’s why:
Group Effort Is More Effective than Individual Effort. You can run a small business pretty independently, but if you ever plan on being employed or running a business that employs others, you’ll have to learn how to work with other people.
Improving Others Equals Improving Yourself. If you’re on a team, your personal success helps make you a good team player. This is because most people are at least a little bit competitive, whether they admit it or not. When you do well, you set a standard that others will want to meet. By pushing yourself, you help push the people on your team.When you see someone you’re working with do something better than you, more often than not, you’ll push yourself to meet that standard.
Your Attitude Matters People respect the ability to work well with others more than anything. Your individual actions have an impact, but if you’re reluctant to do something to help your team, it’ll be evident and your contribution will be less appreciated. Having a genuine interest in your team helps you as well as those you’re working with.
As much as your work is important and necessary to the success of your team, the success of your team is important and necessary to your success.
A. Of course, this works both ways
B. These is a mutual（相互的）effect between personal success and team achievement
C. People with team spirit try hard to make their team the best of all
D. You should be the kind of person who wants to be a team player
E. Those who show respect for others will be respected in turn
F. All of these things, in turn, contribute to your personal success
G. The most impressive achievements are accomplished by groups of people, not individuals

Dear Peter,
How times flies! It had been almost a year since you left China to Sweden. During your home stay at my home, we had such wonderful time that it seemed as if everything had been happened yesterday. I have been long to hear all about you and missing you so much. Fortunate, I was selected as one of the student representative to pay a visit to your school. The visit will last on July 7th to 20th.
