第 1篇

The French Revolution broke out in 1789. At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte.

A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands (任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.

Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don't, waiters will hurry you.

You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don't take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else \wasting\it beyond a certain courtesy point.

The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called \a short fuse.\ We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return - be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.

Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a café or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly.

1. Which of the following statements is wrong? ___________ A. Americans seem to be always under pressure. B. Americans attach less importance to patience.

C. Americans don't care much about ritual socializing. D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues. 答案：D

分析：【解析】细节判断题。文章中提到美国人不太有耐心，不在乎社交礼节等是他们珍惜时间的表现，不是对同事不礼貌。

2. In the fourth paragraph, \a high priority\means ___________. A. a less important thing B. a first concern C. a good business D. an attractive gift 答案：B

分析：【解析】推测词义。根据前、后段的实例判断为首要考虑之事，故a first concern

3. Americans evaluate a business colleague ________. A. through social courtesy

B. through prolonged business talks C. by establishing business relations

D. by learning about their past performance 答案：D 分析：【解析】细节判断题。根据本文倒数第二句“We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies.”

4. This passage mainly talks about __________. A. how Americans treasure their time B. how busy Americans are every day

C. how Americans do business with foreigners D. what American way of life is like 答案：A

分析：【解析】要旨题。根据第一段第一句“A foreigner's first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush - often under pressure.”

5. We can infer from the passage that the author's tone in writing is ________. A. critical B. ironical C. praiseful D. objective

答案：C 分析：【解析】判断作者语气题。本文作者是一个美国人，他在讲述自己同胞的特征、性格、为人准则等时充满了自豪，故判断C “赞美的”为答案。

第 4篇

Britain and France are separated by the English Channel, a body of water that can be crossed in as few as 20 minutes. But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.

Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.

But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac's body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.

The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn't stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US.

Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of \doubtful friendship\, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here's one: What's the best thing about Britain's relationship with France? The English Channel.

1. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is______. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherly

D. a mixture of love and hate 答案：D

分析：D【解析】细节判断题。可参考第二段最后一句中“love-hate partnership”这一关键信息。

2. The war in Iraq does ______ to the relationship between France and Britain. A. good B. harm

C. neither good nor harm D. both good and harm 答案：D 分析：【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段中“there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war”和第四段中“However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties. ”可以得出答案。

3. The British are not so friendly to ______ and the French are not so friendly to ______. A. Germany; America B. America; Germany C. Germany; Germany D. America; America 答案：A

分析：【解析】细节判断题。根据第六段中“Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France's close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain's close links with the US. ”这一段说明可以得出答案。

4. _____ are more interested in having holidays in _________. A. American people … Britain B. British people … Germany C. French people … Britain D. British people … France 答案：D

分析：【解析】细节判断题。根据第六段的第一句。

5. What does the last sentence mean? _______

A. As long as the English Channel exists, no further disagreement will form between France and Britain.

B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendly happening in both France and Britain. C. France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will help balance the relationship between them D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain. 答案：C 分析：【解析】推测句义。通过文章中对两国关系既爱又恨的描述, 两国庆祝友好协议签订100周年的事实等可以判断出：尽管两国在某些问题上存在分歧和争议, 但毕竟两国是一衣带水的邻邦, 两国的关系会在争议中找到平衡点, 并且两国的关系会有更进一步的发展。 第 5篇

Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called \One On One\ helps elementary students who've fallen behind.

It looks good on your resume, too, showing that you've had experience with children and that you care about your community. If you'd like to sign up, or if you have any questions, stop by Professor Dodge's office this week.

第 6篇

Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.

How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

1. What's the meaning of the underlined word 'parchment'? _________ A. The skin of young animals.

B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.

C. The paper used by European countries. D. The paper of Egypt. 答案：B

4. Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year? _______ A. China. B. Sweden. C. Egypt. D. Japan. 答案：B

分析：【解析】本题要求对细节进行辨析。看时要注意对选项中提到的国家的描述。根据“Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.”可知，选项B正确。

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper

respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects.

第 8篇

It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become \in\. Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.

Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.

Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.

1. What is soap opera?

A. Plays based on science fiction stories. B. Plays based on non-fiction stories. C. The daytime serial dramas on TV. D. Popular documentary films on TV. 答案：C

分析：【解析】本题测试捕获明示信息的能力。短文开始时说到 “the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera…”。对文化背景知识的了解有助于对某些题的回答。

2. What can be the best title of the passage? A. College student viewers. B. Favorite TV serials. C. Soap opera fans. D. College-age viewers. 答案：C 分析：【解析】本题测试对文章中心内容进行概括。要求在若干信息中区分主要信息和次要

信息。

3. Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become \in\ among American

young people ?

A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.

B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.

D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles. 答案：D 分析：【解析】本题考查对文章的内容进行综合判断并获取明示信息。在文章后部分谈到了年轻人喜欢看肥皂剧的一个原因是他们想寻求快乐，最后一句提到“不必去承担责任”。要注意问题中的 “not”。另外对 “in” 一词的理解也可能对答案产生影响。

4. What can we learn from the passage? _________

A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups. B. Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.

C. young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now. D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain. 答案：C 分析：【解析】本题考查对文章内容进行综合推断。通过对比60年代和当今的年轻人对肥皂剧的态度，可以得出结论。对信息的不完全把握可能造成误选D，并不是整个年轻人这一群体都在徒劳地寻找甜蜜爱情。

5. What message does the author want to convey to us? _________

A. The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time. B. The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times. C. The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera. D. The people's favorites have changed the drama works. 答案：B

分析：【解析】本题是推理题。读完之后，你理解正确的话，就一定能得到这一答案。

第 9篇

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and

vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight's (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

1. Which of the following statements is NOT true?_________ A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.

C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London.

D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city. 答案：B

分析：【解析】推断题。根据文章内容：虽然有很多人喜欢乡村生活，但文章最后一段描述了有些人则喜欢城市生活，从而推知此题答案为B。

2. With the same money ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 答案：C

分析：【解析】细节题。根据文章第二段第二、三句可推知此题答案为C。

3. When the garden is in blossom, it means that one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country

B. having spent time working in the garden C. having a garden of his own

D. having been digging, planting and watering 答案：B

分析：【解析】推断题。根据文章第三段最后两句可知：要是他喜欢花园，在花园里干一些像挖土、种植、浇水等许多园艺的活，那么当鲜花和蔬菜生长起来的时候，他就与其他分享大自然秘密的人们一样得到奖赏，所以选B。选项D部分正确，只是列举了三项园艺工作。

4. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _______ if they had to live outside London.

A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable

C. they didn't deserve a happy life

D. they were not worthy of their happy life 答案：A

分析：【解析】推断题。根据文章最后一段第二句Such people would feel that their life

was not worth living if they had to live it outside London“如果不得不住在伦敦郊外的话，这些人会觉得生活就没意义了”，推知此题答案为A。

5. The underlined phrase get away from in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 答案：C

分析：【解析】推断题。根据其下文：get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives“远离喧嚣和忙碌的工作生活”，推知此题答案为C。词组escape from“逃脱某个地方；从工作岗位上离开”；go away“离开”；do away with“废除;去掉”；get rid of “摆脱”。

第 10篇

By definition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished by uncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others - they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation's consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.

Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them. They are people who manage to go beyond celebrity (明星), who are legendary, who somehow mange to become mythic. But what makes some figures icons and others mere celebrities? That's hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell. For instance, the beautiful young Diana Spencer who at 19 married a prince, renounced marriage and the throne, and died at the moment she found true love. Good looks certainly help. So does a special indefinable charm, with the help of the media. But nothing confirms an icon more than a tragic death - such as Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana.

1. The passage mainly deals with ______. A. life and death

B. heroes and heroines C. heroes and icons D. icons and celebrities 答案：C 分析：【解析】主旨题。根据第一段第一句和第二段第一句的关键词很 heroes and heroines 和cultural icons, 我们可以判断文章中心思想是heroes和cultural icons。

A. Poverty in America has been eased with the economic growth. B. Superstars are famous for being famous. C. One's look can contribute to being famous.

D. Heroes and heroines can only emerge in war times. 答案：D

分析：【解析】细节推断题。根据第一段第三句“Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one.”作者认为这种说法是错误的，故D为正确答案。

4. Beautiful young Diana Spencer found her genuine love________. A. when she was 19

B. when she became a princess C. just before her death

D. after she gave birth to a prince 答案：C

分析：【解析】细节推断题。根据第二段的第六句“and died at the moment she found true love.”。

Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun. Hostels

Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural

areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable － almost like bargain hotels. Youth Hotels

Founded many years ago to \help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside\, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside. B&Bs

The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution, In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome.

In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they're often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs. Pubs & Inns

As well as selling drinks and meals, Britain's pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community.

Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.

What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is \no\. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

第 13篇

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

1. What is the main idea of this passage? ________

A. It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S. B. The role of time in social life over the world.

C. If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S. D. Not every country treats the concept of time as the same. 答案：B

Promptness is valued highly in American life. 答案：D 分析：【解析】细节判断题。根据文章，我们知道在美国如果在宴会前三四天才邀请的客人，往往是不重要的客人，所以A错。同时各国对于时间的理解也各有不同，所以B错。在美国应该提前发出邀请，所以C错。

5. From the passage we can safely infer that _______

A. it's a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time. B. the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.

第 14篇

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

1. Our long-term goals mean a lot _______. A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals B. if we complete the short-term goals C. if we have dreams of the future D. if we put forward some plans 答案：B

第 15篇

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in

letters, we call words.

The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

1. The origin of language is _________. A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secret C. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved 答案：D

分析：【解析】从文章的第1句可知：答案为D。

2. What is true about words? _______ A. They are used to express feelings only. B. They can not be written down. C. They are simply sounds. D. They are mysterious. 答案：C

5. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________ A. He is no more than a master of words.

第 16篇

Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?

It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person's conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.

Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing \the right thing.\ Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, \You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it's not true.\ It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.

Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.

Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let's not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.

1. What does the author try to prove by citing \what kind of impression am I making?\ (Para. 1)__________

A. Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.

B. People's shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions. C. It's natural that shy people don't believe other's compliments. D. Shy people think they are different from others. 答案：B

分析：【解析】细节推断题。第1段第2句话提到 “害羞的人很紧张和敏感，他们对于自己的外表和行为过分关心。”所以选B为正确答案。

2. According to the writer, self-awareness is __________. A. a good quality

B. the cause of unhappiness C. harmful to people

D. a weak point of shy people 答案：A 分析：【解析】细节推断题。根据第3段最后一句，可知自我意识是一种好的品质，所以选A。选项C有干扰性，过度的自我意识是有害的，而不是说自我意识是有害的。

3. That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________. A. good B. unreal

C. very reasonable D. harmful 答案：B

分析：【解析】细节推断题。根据第3段第5句。

4. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________ A. Shyness helps us to develop our potential

B. Shyness enables us to understand ourselves better C. Shyness can block our chances for a rich life

D. Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem 答案：C 分析：【解析】细节推断题。根据文中最后一句 “我们不应该让害羞阻碍我们过丰富的有价值的生活。”可知正确答案是C。

5. It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________. A. should find more of their weakness

B. should understand themselves in the right way C. had better ignore their weakness

D. can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem 答案：B

分析：【解析】细节推断题。第5段第2句话提到。“我们越了解自己就越容易发挥自己的潜质。”可以推断出我们应该正确了解自己，所以选B。

第 17篇

When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.

What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply

rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.

One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.

1. Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses?

______________ A. Selling home furnishings. B. Renting furnished apartments. C. Selling used furniture. D. Renting home furnishings. 答案：D

分析：【解析】 本题表面测试的是考生对细节的捕获能力，因为文章提到“The renting of home furnishings (beds, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses”。但实质上是对文章中心的理解能力。文章的中心讲的就是租家具这一社会现象：包括何种人愿意租、其原因是什么以及人们对这一现象的认识。

2. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?_______________________

A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new. B. Because it saves them a lot of money.

C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.

D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way. 答案：C 分析：【解析】本题测试了考生对文章某一部分的概括能力。选项B只回答了问题的一部分，因此选B是错误的。选项D过于笼统，文章提到“they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy”。选项A在文章中并未提到。

3. What can you infer from the passage?_____________________ A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.

B. Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town. C. Only those who don't have enough money to rent furniture. D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented. 答案：B

分析：【解析】本题测试了考生对文章的综合理解能力。从文章的第一部分可知，这对夫妇此前还没有想过租家具，可见在他们的家乡，这种做法还不流行。文章的最后（The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.）讲了这种观念还很新，但并没有说这种观念不被人接受，因此，选A是错误的。选项C过于片面，除了钱不够的人想租家具，还有其他人，如有国际业务的人、驻外的政府官员、外国留学生、飞机工作人员等。选项D在文中未提到。

4. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?___________

A. Rent or Buy?

B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings. C. Furnished Apartments. D. A New Idea. 答案：B

分析：【解析】本题是对考生综合能力的测试。选项B（一种获取家具的新途径）既概括了主题，又有吸引力。而选项D（一种新观念）过于笼统，不合适。有些考生选择A，是因为他们没有真正弄懂中心，实际上文章的重点在于租家具这一观念，而不是买不买家具的问题。

5. Young people liked renting home furniture in that___________ A. They have less money.

B. They don't want to buy old furniture. C. The new furniture is of good quality.

D. They don't have much money and don't want to buy the cheap furniture. 答案：D

分析：【解析】从文中，可以看到这一完整而明确的信息。

第 18篇

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.

This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore, the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.

1. From Para. 1, we know that in America _________. A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man B. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts C. college professors win great respect from common workers D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors

答案：A 分析：【解析】细节题。根据短文的第一句A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man，“崇尚自我奋斗是美国文化的特点”。

2. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________. A. servants in America are hard to get

B. she takes pride in what she can do herself C. she can hardly afford servants

D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food 答案：B

分析：【解析】推断题。根据第二段的第一句This attitude toward manual(体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. “在美国生活的方方面面，尊重体力劳动态度的现象仍然随处可见”，可以推断女主人亲自下厨，是因为她以能做这样的体力活而自豪。

3. The underlined expression \wait on table\ in Para. 2 means \_________\. A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar C. wait to lay the table

D. serve customers in a restaurant 答案：D

分析：【解析】词义猜测题。wait on table为顾客服务，下文的 washing dishes 也有一定的暗示意义，故答案为 D。

4. The author's attitude towards manual labor is _______. A. positive B. negative C. humorous D. critical 答案：A

分析：【解析】作者态度推断题。通览全文，作者对“美国崇尚自我奋斗、尊重体力劳动的文化习惯”持肯定态度。negative否定的；critical批评的。

5. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? ________ A. A Respectable Self-made Family

B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor C. Characteristics of American Culture D. The Development of Manual Labor 答案：B

分析：【解析】主旨题。纵观全文，文章主要讲了美国崇尚自我奋斗，尊重体力劳动的文化习惯。故答案为B。
