【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容的理解,選擇正確答案。 At thirteen, I was diagnosed(診斷) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, "Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it." She glanced down at me through her glasses, "You are no different from your classmates, young man."
I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.
In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(點), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn't I the "blind" in my class, being made to learn like the "sighted" students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an "A" on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: "See what you can do when you keep trying?"
(1)The author didn't finish the reading in class because ________.
A.he wanted to take the task home
B.he was new to the class
C.he had an attention disorder
D.he was tired of literature
(2)What was Mrs. Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?
A.Angry.
B.Impatient.
C.Sympathetic.
D.Encouraging.
(3)The underlined phrase spilled out in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A.put in
B.crowded in
C.cheated in
D.broke in
(4)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.A teacher can open up a new world to students.
B.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
C.The disabled should be treated with respect.
D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.

【答案】
(1)C
(2)D
(3)B
(4)B
【解析】本文主要講述作者有注意力紊亂癥,不想努力,但在一位老師的激勵下,終于克服困難的故事。
(1) 細節(jié)細節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段At thirteen, I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder.可知,作者被診斷出注意力紊亂,所以課上不能完成閱讀。故選C。
(2)推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段提到so it was a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an "A"(當我看到作業(yè)上的A時,非常的吃驚),說明史密斯小姐對我的態(tài)度是鼓勵的,故選D。
(3)猜測詞義題。此處指作者思緒泉涌快速寫了起來。spill out"溢出,涌出",與B項同義,故選B。
(4)主旨大意題。本文主要講述作者有注意力紊亂癥,不想努力,但在一位老師的激勵下,終于克服困難的故事,故選B。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解,選擇正確答案。
How many times do you check your Moments or Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “l(fā)ike” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don't worry. Psychological findings have shown it's completely normal.
In fact, the pleasure we derive from (取自) getting a “l(fā)ike” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can't help wanting more.
According to the findings of the UCLA Brain Mapping Center, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反饋電路) in the teens' brains are particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were activated when they received “l(fā)ikes” on a social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from it worked equally.
So does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible?
Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention.
In “Why do people crave (渴望) attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to reproduce these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to be eager for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple.
“If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem (自尊) but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker in the Journal of Social Issues.
(1)You may find this text in a magazine about ____.
A.technology
B.education
C.entertainment
D.social life
(2)Who will NOT naturally expect attention according to Radwan?
A.People who are living with their parents.
B.Those who lack social recognition.
C.People who are the focus of attention.
D.Those who want to blanket what they've done.
(3)We know from the last paragraph that ____.
A.checking your Moments or Facebook page is a waste of time
B.it is helpful to set goals concerning making contributions
C.focusing on one's self-esteem is quite natural
D.self-teem has a bad effect on one's goals
(4)What's the author's attitude towards people's addiction to “thumbs up”?
A.worried.
B.objective.
C.critical.
D.supportive.

【題目】Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.

Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.

Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”

Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.

Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.

“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”

SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”

1How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?

A. By offering morning teas.

B. By giving advice to them.

C. By communication with them.

D. By providing accommodation to them.

2What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?

A. Saving animals.

B. Helping newcomers.

C. Making more friends.

D. Expanding her business.

3What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?

A. To be left alone.

B. To struggle for a living.

C. To be invited to dinner.

D. To feel part of the community.

4What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?

A. She often misses the United Kingdom.

B. She takes interest in the Railway Café.

C. She is enthusiastic about resettling pets.

D. She has organized the voluntary events.

Dear Bob,
I am very exciting to receive an e-mail from you and I am glad to know you have a wonderful time during the past summer holiday. I took a trip to the countryside with some of my friend in last summer. Country life, in your opinion, gave me relaxation, which I can't enjoy in big cities. There was river nearby, in that we went swimming every now and then. You can never imagine how fun it was to swim together with friends in the cool, clean river in so hot days. In fact, I had never had a better holiday before and I took plenty of photos there. I keep the photos where I can see them every day, as they are worth keep forever.
Yours,
Tom
