【題目】A great loss—Shirley Temple dies at 85

February 12, 2014

BY DERRIK J. LANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10that age 85, wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helpedilluminesome of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colonel is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保證) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.’’

Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交), including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

【1】The word “illumine” in Paragraph 1 means _______.

A. shorten B. sweeten

C. strengthen D. brighten

【2】Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as _______.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

【解析】試題分析: 秀蘭·鄧波兒于2014年12月10號(hào)辭世，這對(duì)我們是一個(gè)巨大的損失，文章介紹她的生平。

【1】D考查詞義猜測(cè)題題。她美麗的微笑讓在美國大蕭條中面對(duì)最黑暗時(shí)刻的人們前方看到了光明。shorten缺點(diǎn)；sweeten甜； strengthen加強(qiáng)；brighten照亮。前后對(duì)比，因此選D

【3】C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章“The role she valued most，however，was as wife，mother，grandmother and great-grandmother．”可知，她最有價(jià)值的角色是在家庭中的角色。故選C。

【4】B考查推理判斷題。A biography一本傳記；．A newspaper一份報(bào)紙；A magazine一本雜志；A poster一張海報(bào)。根據(jù)文章正文開頭的時(shí)間和BY DERRIK J．LANG，Associated Press可知，是美聯(lián)社的一篇文章。告訴讀者秀蘭鄧波兒辭世的消息，應(yīng)該是在報(bào)紙上。故選B

Everyone should take the action to reduce haze(霧霾)，which is harmless to our health．First of all，I believe that if we plant more tree，there will be less haze in their city．Trees can absorb exhaust fumes(尾氣)from cars，thus reduce pollution．Second，the government should punish the factories where produce too many fumes．Exhaust fumes is the main cause of haze and do greatly harm to people’s health．Maybe we can move factories to areas where few people live．Third，I think it was a great idea to encourage people to use public transportation．Last but not least，we can call on citizens ride bikes if they travel short journeys.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選擇最佳答案。
China dropped its decades-long, one-child policy last year to allow each family to have two children. This change has put 270 million married women of childbearing age in the position of choosing between family and work. The employers also face big challenges as more female workers will have two maternity leaves(產(chǎn)假) for a total of seven to eight months.
In a survey published by classified advertising website Ganji.com, career women who might be considering having a second child were asked what kinds of pressure they might expect. More than 76 percent of the women who were questioned mentioned concerns about the financial burden of raising two children, while more than 71 percent said it would be difficult to balance career and family. In addition, nearly 56 percent said that having a second child would definitely have a negative effect on their career.
Another survey conducted by Chongqing-based human resources website job.cq.qq.com found that over 70 percent of job seekers believe that having a second child would make females less popular in the job market, although two-thirds of the employers said the policy will make no difference in their employment of staff.
Feng Lijuan, s senior expert on human resources at 51 job.com, a leading Chinese job finding platform, said she would not say “there is prejudice against career women.” Feng said Chinese women shoulder more family responsibility. “It is not only about maternity leave; a female employee might only fully get back to work after three to five years after having her first child.”
Wang Yixin, a senior employment adviser, said the positive side is that more companies are trying to attract more talents by providing support to career women. “Different from before, it is not only employers choosing employees. Many talents, including professional career women, also choose employers.” said Wang. “According to our survey, many large companies are very open to their employees' choice of having a second child.”

Injuries and deaths caused by driving after drinking are preventable. Sadly, actions by the police can only catch a small number of drunk drivers on the roads. It is up to each person to make the decisions. 【1】 So we should help guide our friends and persuade them to avoid driving after drinking. Here are some tips.

Start talking to the person early. With every drink, judgment becomes increasingly uncontrolled. 【2】 So as soon as your friend starts drinking, you should try to persuade him to make a plan to get home safely. Remember, after he gets drunk, he may not listen to you.

Help the person realize he is drunk. Talk to him and show him that he is increasingly clumsy. 【3】 For example, ask who you can call to pick him up, or what public transport he would like to use. If he knows he is drunk, he may follow your advice.

Make last efforts. If all else fails and a drunk person wants to drive home, threaten to call the police or take his keys. 【4】 When he is not concentrated, take his keys. This may make it easier to convince him to take a cab home. Remember, don’t give him the keys even if he’s angry.
