    Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
    Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
    I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
    But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a qualityI lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

    Too Late to Regret It
    When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.
    I disregarded(不顾)my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus , or sunbathe(晒太阳)on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm .He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me .Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied(妒忌)me. He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
    However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
    I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
    Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.
    Graduation time was drawing near. He said that he couldn't put up with me anymore,and he said he wanted to go back to his hometown.I was shocked and looked at him in despair. True love happens only once,but I found it out too late.

    When did the author fall in love with the boy?
    A: After she had a quarrel with him.
    B: When she was a junior.
    C: When she was a second-year student.
    D: After she found a part-time job.

    答案:B
    解析:
    本题问“什么时候作者爱上了这个男孩?”文章第一段和第二段提到了作者爱上男孩的时间,即:大学三年级的时候。其他时间与事实不一致。


    本题问“他做了什么使她高兴?”本题是细节题。文章第二段中提到“为了要使我快乐,他向他的朋友借钱为我买礼物并请我吃饭。”


    本题问“谁建议她与他分手?”文章第五段第一句提到“几乎我所有的同事和朋友劝告我和他分手。”因此选项C“她的同事和朋友”符合题意。


    本题问“为什么他离开了她?”文章最后一段提到“他说他无法忍受我,他说他想要回家乡。”显然这是原因所在。所以选项A“他再也无法忍受了”符合题意。


    本题问“当得知他将离开她时,她……”。文章最后一段提到“我感到吃惊,我意识到真正的爱只发生一次,但我发现的已经太晚。”由此可见,作者汁这件事情的感觉是痛苦的。因此选项D“非常痛苦”符合题意。

  • 第7题:

    When you are little,the whole world feels like a big playground.I was living in Conyers,Georgia the summer it all happened.I was a second grader,but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade.Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
    It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie′s basement.As I opened the basement door,before us lay the biggest room,full of amazing things like guns,dolls,and old clothes.I ran downstairs,and spotted a red steel can.It was paint.I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple,orange,blue and green.
    "Stephanie,I just found us a project,for the day.Get some paintbrushes.We are fixing to paint."She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work.We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard.There on the road in front of my house,we painted bit stripes(条纹)of colors across the pavement(人行道).Stripe by stripe,our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow.It was fantastic!
    The sun was starting to sink.I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car.It was my mother.I couldn′t wait to show her my masterpiece.The car pulled slowly into the drive way and from the look on my mother′s face,I could tell that I was in deep trouble.My mother shut the car door and walked towards me.Her eyes glaring,she shouted,"What in the world were you thinking?I understood when you made castles out of leaves,and climbed the neighbors′trees,but this!Come inside right now!"I stood there glaring back at her for a minute,angry because she had insulted(侮辱)my art.
    "Now go to clean it up!"Mother and I began cleaning the road.Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow turn into black cement.
    Though years have now passed,I still wonder where my?rainbow?has gone.I wonder if,maybe when I get older,I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away.I guess we all need sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.

    What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?

    A.To introduce Stephanie to her.
    B.To prevent her from seeing his painting.
    C.To put the materials back in the yard.
    D.To show his artwork to her.

    问答题
    So many high school graduates have no clues what they want to pursue as a career as they head off to college. So, here’s the question: How many times have you changed your major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s)? The following are opinions from all walks of life. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:  1. summarize briefly the opinions in the excerpts;  2. give your comment.  Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Never Changed  Claire | High School Teacher: I actually never changed my major. I declared elementary education immediately and stuck with it. I thought I wanted to minor in math, but before I even took a single math class, I ended up switching to English. Aside from student teaching and a long term sub position in 5th grade immediately following graduation, I’ve actually NEVER taught elementary school. I went ahead and took the Texas exam to get certified k-12 and I’ve only taught high school since. Sometimes I wish I had just done secondary education. Sadly, I don’t actually think any of my education classes in college affected the way I teach—experience has really been the best class I’ve had.  Kevin | Accountant: I never changed my major in college! I knew exactly what I wanted, where I was going, and what I ultimately hoped to achieve after graduation with my AAS Degree in Business Management/ Accounting, I went directly to work in my chosen profession and never looked back! It served me well for about twenty-five years.  Murphy | Middle School Teacher: I never changed my major in college, but I did not declare a major until the university forced me to. I majored in Political Science simply because it interested me. Of course, when I did declare this major everyone, especially my patents, asked me what I was going to do with it and my answer was always that I wasn’t sure. I ended up receiving a teaching credential two years after receiving my B.A. in Political Science and have been teaching for the last 26 years.  Changed  Dastice | Clerk: I changed my major from Psychology to Sociology. I still minored in Psych, and also in Women’s Studies. My only drive in changing majors was that I enjoyed the classes more. I figured if I stuck with what I enjoyed then a career would somehow emerge from it once I got my degree. Knowing what I know now, however, I probably would have majored in something like business or law. After graduating with my degree I ended up working jobs that didn’t even require a college education. Experience was far more valuable, I was told.  Jenny | College Student: I, for some reason, never knew majors were a huge deal and could be almost as important as your life. I started out as an arts and Spanish major. I then realized the program my school offered for the education major took care of 4 classes I would have to take for my MA. I dropped the art major and went into the education major. My last semester came and I was at a crossroads: take the final course to complete my major in education or the class to complete my Spanish major. I do get a little upset thinking I was only one class away from another major.  Gaha | Writer: I changed it once. I started college at eighteen and a little naive as to the working world. I chose to major in Business, not sure why, in fact I don’t think I really even knew what it entailed. It wasn’t until the onset of my junior year that I came to an epiphany that I had only take a couple of business classes because they bored me out of my mind. After taking a look at my transcript, realizing that I was totally into foreign languages and literature, I decided to get into writing. And a new writer was born!

    The given excerpts show us the findings of a survey to discuss whether people have changed their major(s) while in college and what prompted the change(s). Among the people included, some of them never changed their majors as a result of many reasons: being interested in the majors, having a clear life goal and so on. Nevertheless, there are many students who have changed their majors at college. Reasons are various: not having a clear life goal, not knowing what they really aspire to be; finding it difficult to learn the courses school arranged; hunting for a proper job relevant to the major.
    As far as I’m concerned, what matters most is not the major itself, but whether you are willing to spend time on it. It is of little use if you make a change on your major just for a promising job opportunity. You can make it to the top in all walks of life as long as you have passion for your major and are dedicated enough. Sure, there are some so-called hot majors, such as international finance, finance and accountancy, international trade, civil engineering technology, etc. However, from my perspective, the work which is suitable for one person may be unfit for another. So it is imprudent for students to blindly pursuit the major not suitable for them, which would likely lead to nothing. Choosing a major should be based on students’ interests, personality and ability. After all, your major will be closely connected to your future life, not others’.
    In short, college students should have a clear understanding about the relationship between their own passions and social needs.

    How I Turned to Be Optimistic

    I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

    The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."

    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

    From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

    A.Fromherrelatives.B.Fromhermother.

    C.Frombooksandpictures.D.Fromradioprograms.

    Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
    I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
    But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do notmake a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a qualityI lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

    The first paragraph tells us that the author
    查看材料

    A.lost his hearing when he was a child
    B.didn't like his brothers and sisters
    C.was born to a naturalist's family
    D.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood

    答案:D
    解析:
    由第一段可知,童年的作者对花和昆虫感兴趣。作者在第一段提到“Although we were brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects.”此句暗示作者自己坚持了下来,故D项正确。

    根据下面资料,回答
    I grew up seeing handwritten notes as the best expression of love. My room often 16 small, square papers on the bed for me to find. Sometimes it was just a smiley 17 , other times she simply wrote the words "love you" 18 ordinary ballpoint pen, but it was more than enough.
    Starting in elementary school, my mom 19 me to write notes to my grandma who lived a few hours away. Grandma 20 wrote back. The excitement I felt when I looked in the 21 and saw a letter in my grandma′s shaky letters never 22 . By studying her handwriting, I could almost 23 how she′ d been feeling that day. Those notes are now treasures.
    The words, "You make me 24 ," from my dad when I got my first prize and birthday notes from friends are all lifelines I can′ t bear to 25 .
    However, my greatest lifelines came from my daughter, Avery. One day I put a yellow note on her 26 not realizing there was a blank one 27 to it. When I cleaned out her lunch box that night, the number of my notes had 28 . I cried when I saw she′d written the same thing as me.
    "I love you. Avery."
    I reached up and stuck my daughter′ s 29 on the cabinet where the sandwich bread was stored as a source of daily 30 . Then later another in my clothes closet where I got 31 , and another on the bathroom mirror where I brushed my 32 .
    "I love you. I will .love you for my whole life."
    Until today my daughter still 33 posts lifelines to me. Now they are not so much for encouragement 34 they are reminders--reminders that time is flying.
    Because the untraditional spelling has become 35 , letters are no longer gigantic, but rather small and dainty (优美的). But the love, the love is still there.
    第(25)题选

    A.sort out
    B.pack up
    C.throw away
    D.take up

    答案:C
    解析:
    考查短语辨析。Sort out“辨别,解决”,pack up“打包,收拾”,throwaway“扔掉,浪费”,take up“占据”。“我”应该是舍不得扔掉那些便条,故选C。

    根据下列内容,回答206-210题。
    I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and l were returning from my aunt’s house,and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then,I was crying,and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
    I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact,I think cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places l was going to see-the strange and magical places I had know only from books and pic-tures.The country l was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
    The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism,but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York l was really lost--having to study in three scheels as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what l was or what I should be.Mother remarried,and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.1 was often sad.and saw no end t0“the hard times”.
    My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.1 wrote letters,filled out forms,translated at interviews with immigration officers,took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there,and even discussed telephone bills with con- pany representatives.
    From my experiences I have learned one important rule:all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up,and just wait alittle!I believe that my life will turn out all right,even though it not be that easy.
    How did the author get to know America? __________

    A.From her relatives
    B.Form her mother
    C.Form books and pictures
    D.From radio programs

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据原文的第二段中“the strange and magical plances I had know only from books andpictures”可知。

    Time is very important in our lives.It organizes our everyday moments.However,time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father that organized my life and made me more responsible.
    It came from Denmark to the U.A.E.jewelry shop in a gray box.It weighs 0.24 kilograms. It's round in the center with two silver bands that go around my wrist.And all of it is made of silver. This object tells me the importance of time in my life.
    I received this gift on a gray-sky day.I had to go to the airport at 9:00 AM to pick up my uncle Aui and take him to my father's house.However,I was late because I was hanging out with my friends.Later on that day,around 11:00 AM,I remembered my uncle,but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father's house.
    I got to my father's house at 2:00 PM on the same day and looked at my angry father's face.I felt ashamed of myself at that moment.After I said hi to my angry father and tired uncle,my father asked me to sit next to him where he handed me this watch which was a gift from him.Then he said,"Essa,did you have fun with your friends today?"I answered, "Yes,father,and I'm sorry about not picking up my uncle Ali."He said,"What you did was not very nice and you should be sorry for your actions."I was ashamed and said,"Father,I'll never do it again.I promise."He said,"I hope today you learned something important,and this watch will be a reminder for you." He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.
    I learned a very important lesson from my father:to respect time and never be late to get someone.This watch is important to me,not because of its price,but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

    I felt ashamed of myself and my action when I saw my angry father and tired uncle.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    根据是文中第一段第三句话:但是,以前时间在我的生命中并不重要,直到我从父亲那里收到一块手表,这块手表帮助我安排我的生活而且使我变得更加有责任感。
    根据是第二段第一句:这块丹麦制造的手表装在一只灰色盒子里,是在阿拉伯联合酋长国的一家珠宝首饰店买的。
    第三段第三句:可是因为和朋友们出去玩,我迟到了。可见作者不是因为做作业而迟到。
    根据是第四段第二句:那一刻我感到很惭愧。
    文中对此没有提到。
    依据是第四段最后一句:他让我拿走这块手表,用它来安排自己的生活。
    依据是最后一段最后一句:这块手表对我来说很重要,不是因为它价格昂贵,而是因为我从中学习到的这个道理。
