【題目】 Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction ( 破 壞 ) of our environment. Brown clouds, polluted water, endangered wild animals…. these problems seem so huge.

So my family does what we can. We take cloth bags to stores instead of using plastic bags. We walk where we don't have to drive…

But does it do any good? When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world?

I recently learned something about flamingos(火烈鳥(niǎo)) which like to get together in groups of a thousand or more. Every year, when the time comes for migration(遷徙), a few of them first take off from the lake. But none of the others seem to notice. So the small group returns. However, the next day they try again. This time a few more fly along with them, but most of them still pay no attention, so they return again. They try for several times. Every time a few more birds join in but, since thousands of the others still take no notice, the great migration plan is once more stopped.

Then one day something changes. The same small group of birds once again starts flying and a small number more join in just as before. then more. Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once !

A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems.

文章大意：短文主要講述了作者對(duì)于現(xiàn)在環(huán)境存在的問(wèn)題提出一些擔(dān)憂，以及自己和家人的保護(hù)環(huán)境的行為，呼吁人們要從小事做起，保護(hù)環(huán)境。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Some of the greatest problems we face today are the destruction ( 破 壞 ) of our environment. 我們今天面臨的一些最大的問(wèn)題是對(duì)環(huán)境的破壞可知，故答案為C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中When I am the only one in line at the market with cloth bags, am I doing any good? Does my walking to stores make any real difference to the world? 當(dāng)我是商店里排隊(duì)唯一的一個(gè)用布袋的人時(shí)，我做的好嗎？我步行去商店對(duì)世界有什么影響嗎？可知。故答案為B。

【3】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文中Finally, they all take flight and the migration really begins. What a spectacular sight it must be — thousands of flamingos taking off into the sky at once ! 最后，它們都飛了起來(lái)，遷徙真的開(kāi)始了。成千上萬(wàn)的火烈鳥(niǎo)一下子飛上了天空，這是多么令人驚嘆的場(chǎng)景�。」蚀鸢笧�B。

But none of the others seem to notice. So the small group returns.當(dāng)幾只火烈鳥(niǎo)先從湖飛走時(shí)，其余的幾乎沒(méi)有一只注意到可知，故D錯(cuò)誤，故答案為C。

【5】主旨大意題。A few can make a difference. Even if you're the one to take the first step, and continue trying, others will someday take notice and together we will solve even our greatest problems. 有一些小行為可以促成大改變，即使你現(xiàn)在才邁出第一步，并且繼續(xù)嘗試，其他人終有一天會(huì)注意到，那樣我們會(huì)一起解決我們最大的問(wèn)題可知，作者呼吁人們要從小事做起，保護(hù)環(huán)境。故答案為D。

It happens to all of us. It is the end of the semester and your teacher gives you your report card. You look at it and your heart stops because you realize that your parents are going to be very angry. This is the classic case of a bad report card! There is nothing you can do to change the past. So, what do you do now?

A disappointing report card is something that almost all students will experience at least once in their lives. Grades are how most schools evaluate（評(píng)價(jià)）students and they are pretty important. The problem is that we do not always get good grades we (or our parents) want. After a bad report card, it is important to figure out what to do next.

The first thing to do is talk to your teacher. Find out how your grades were calculated. Was the problem a bad test, lack of participation（參與）in class, or a failure to complete homework? Next, if the problem is something you can solve on your won (such as not doing your homework), make a promise to change your behaviour! However, if you have been studying hard and still got a bad grade, you probably need some extra help with your classes. Talk to your teacher and explain your situation. He or she will tell you where you can receive the extra help you need. Then, make a detailed plan of how you will improve your grades. Write down the plan and have it ready when you take to your parents. That’s good way to make your parents less angry.

While all parents want their children to get good grades, most understand that not every report card will be perfect. The important thing is that you show your parents you have a plan to improve your grades for next time. Always remember, many of the world’s most successful people failed many times before they became successful. They learn ed from their failures, and you should too!

【1】What is the problem with the grades?

A.Most schools evaluate students by using grades.B.It’s important to get good grades.

【3】 is a good way to make your parents less angry.

A.Telling your parents the test was too difficult for you

B.Understanding all parents want their children to get good grades

C.Showing your parents you have a detailed plan to improve your grades

D.Explaining why you couldn’t complete your homework on time

【4】The underlined work “your situation” in the text probably means “ ”.

A.You had no idea about how your grades were calculated.

B.You have made a promise to change some bad behaviour.

C.You have been studying hard, but you still got bad grades.

D.You have had a detailed plan to improve your grades.

【5】Why does the writer mention（提及）”successful people” in paragraph 4?

A.to compare successful people with unsuccessful people

B.to describe whether they had good grades or bad grades

C.to encourage students to become successful like those people

D.to explain that even successful people fail from time to time

【題目】One Bite at a Time

One summer day when I was heading for the teaching building, I met Philip, one of my colleagues ( 同 事 ), who worked in the same office with me. Beside him stood another young man. Philip introduced me to the young man, named Stephen. He told me that Stephen would take one of my classes Introduction to American History. Stephen asked if my class was going to be hard. I felt he was worried about failing before the opening day of classes. We talked about what the class would cover and I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.

Then I remembered a classical dialogue: Question: “How do you eat an elephant?” Answer: “One bite at a time.”

I told him to deal with his work that way — to do all his assignment (作業(yè)) and to hand them in on time. I added that most successful students I knew made a timetable in order to plan their study well.

As time went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. He had difficulty in study when he was in the middle school. Family members, including his mother, kept telling him that he was a failure. He told me that before coming to our college no one had believed he had much potential (潛力).

Stephen didn’t become an “A” student. Still, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignment on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course he began to build up bit of self-respect.

Every time I saw him, he would brighten up and say, “One bite at a time.” He told his friends that he was succeeding when he was supposed to be failing. His secret, he said, was that he was practising what I taught him before classes ever started: “Take it one bite at a time.”

【1】What is the relationship between the writer and Stephen?

A.Father and son.B.Teacher and student.

C.Classmates.D.Colleagues.

【2】To plan their study well, most successful students .

A.made a timetableB.chose many courses

C.asked teachers questionsD.took notes carefully

【3】Stephen’s story mainly tells us that .

A.it is hard to pass courses in collegeB.we all need good luck to make a success

C.bad things can turn out to be good sometimesD.taking one bite at a time can help students succeed
