It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet. If you asked my friends about my mother, they would say，“That woman has a heart of gold.” I agree one hundred percent.I think the reason why she is such a wonderful person is that the Holy Spirit lives within her. She is very holy and has persuaded me to go to church with her every Sunday.About six years ago my mom decided to pursue her lifelong goal of becoming a teacher. She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time. However, she believed it would pay off. What my mother didn't realize was that not all things pay off in this unfair world. After four hard years of school, she graduated on a warm spring day. It was unbelievable. My aunt drove up from Virginia to celebrate this fantastic day. It was the first time I had ever cried about being happy.It's strange how fast a life can change. Two months later, the unpredictable happened. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (多發(fā)性硬化癥). I could not believe this could happen after all the good she had done for people. I was very confused and cried every day. My faith in God just disappeared and so did my mom's dream of becoming a teacher.Then, I decided I must move on with my life and accept the fact that she might never get better. Since my decision, I have become more mature, responsible and active in school and work. Through the years I have always been able to change negative situations into positive ones. I'm happy with my life now.1Which of the following can best describe Alice?AHonest.BHelpful.CGreedy.DUnconcerned.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“It was a tragedy, but as usual, Alice, my mother, used her power of healing and got his family back on their feet.”可知，母親樂于幫助他人，故選B項(xiàng)。2What else did Alice have to do when studying?ADrive a car and go to church.BTeach students and raise kids.CDo housework and teach at school.DLook after children and keep house.解析：選D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“She knew it would be hard work raising three kids, doing housework and studying at the same time.”可知，母親在學(xué)習(xí)的同時還要照顧孩子、做家務(wù)，故選D。3According to the text, the author's mother _.Arecovered from illnessBno longer had faith in GodCdidn't realize her dream as a teacherDchanged negative situations into positive ones unwillingly解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“My faith in God just disappeared and so did my mom's dream of becoming a teacher.”可知，母親因?yàn)榛疾?，成為教師的夢想破滅了，故選C。4Which of the following is the best title for the text?AFighting Against Kinds of DiseasesBMother Gave Me Life ExperienceCBelief in God Brought Me Good LuckDHow to Become a Responsible and Active Man解析：選B標(biāo)題歸納題。根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容可推知，本文主要講述了樂觀的母親對作者的積極影響，使作者成為一個積極面對生活的人，故選B。BThe Scottish composer Evelyn Glennie lost nearly all her hearing as a young girl, yet went on to a very successful career in music including winning Grammy awards. When somebody asks her，“How do you hear？” She responds, “How do you hear? Is it only with your ears？” For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding. We need to listen to what is said and unsaid, and also how it is said.It's important to hear what people say accurately. As Mark Twain said，“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug (螢火蟲)” If you miss something or you're not sure you've heard accurately, ask the speakers. At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding. Here are some ways to get clear about what they say and don't say. Why are they saying this now, instead of sooner or later? Why are they emphasizing these points, instead of something else?Listen to how it is said. People send signals about what they mean with their voices and body language that sometimes differ from the words they say. While going through the next points, think about someone whose real meaning you might sometimes miss, and see if any of these signals might come up. First, voices. When others speak, notice changes in their volume, pace, and tone. Second, body language. Notice gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. Do these sync what they are saying, or do they tell a different story? Third, emotions. What is the person true feeling? Now you might not know for sure, but be considerate, open to understanding, and ask thoughtful questions.語篇解讀：本文講述了聆聽的內(nèi)涵。我們要聽懂說話人想要表達(dá)的言外之意，并且要注意說話方式。5What's the writer's purpose of mentioning Evelyn Glennie?ATo give an example of wise words.BTo introduce a world­famous musician.CTo help explain the meaning of listening.DTo encourage us to fight against disability.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的“For Glennie, and for us too, listening is not only hearing, but is understanding.”可知，對于Glennie和“我們”來說，聆聽不僅是用耳朵聽而且是理解，這里說明了聆聽的內(nèi)涵。所以選項(xiàng)C正確。6What can we learn from what Mark Twain said?AIt is important to have a good knowledge of English words.BPeople should know words can be used in many different ways.CEnglish is a very complicated language with a large vocabulary.DThe slight difference between words may result in misunderstanding.解析：選D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中的“It's important to hear what people say accurately.”和“At this point you're not evaluating what they say, but just looking for accuracy and understanding.”可知，準(zhǔn)確聽懂說話者的意思很重要。因此，選項(xiàng)D“詞語的細(xì)微差異可能導(dǎo)致誤解”與Mark Twain所說的話意思相吻合。7What does the underlined word “sync” in the last paragraph probably mean?AMatch.BProve.CDescribe.DAnalyze.解析：選A詞義猜測題。畫線詞前的修飾詞these指代前一句中的“gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions”；再根據(jù)畫線詞后的“what they are saying, or do they tell a different story”可推斷，match與畫線詞意思相近。故選A。CA fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for. To help you have fun, we've rounded up how to say “Cheers！” around the world.Who doesn't dream of living the good life in France? The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine. They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their “cheers”： à votre santé！Is it just us, or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? It's lovely anytime: brunch, to celebrate something, or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend. It originated in Italy's Veneto region but is now available all over the world. When in Italy, the most common toast is “cin cin”， which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan. It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country. If you find yourself in the land of Japan, stick with “kampai”， which means “cheers！”If you haven't been to Ireland what are you waiting for? It's the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness.
