【題目】 My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything. When he faced a problem, he always chose to complain about it instead of finding a way to solve it. That was not right. Ted was healthy and had received a good education. He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day, drifting from one job to another. One day, I read about a farmer called Chris and told Ted about him.

Chris works hard and performs many jobs around the farm. But Chris is not exactly like other farmers. What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done.

Now, you may ask, is this possible? Like many other amazing people who have no arms or legs, Chris does not focus on what he can’t do, but rather on what he can do. And he can do a lot! He drives farm vehicles and looks after crops. Once you see Chris in action, you will think there is nothing he can’t do. Chris is a great example of a person who is making the most of his gifts. His positive attitude and courage make him a true inspiration.

After I told Ted about Chris, he became silent. Compared with Chris, Ted was much luckier. Then luckily, I saw Ted’s change. Do you like complaining? If you do, think about Chris. Such a man chooses to stay positive. Why don’t we?

這是一篇記敘文。文章主要講述作者的堂哥特德喜歡抱怨，作者給他講了一個沒有四肢的農(nóng)民克里斯地故事，讓他有了很大的變化。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一句“My elder cousin Ted liked complaining almost about everything”堂哥總是喜歡抱怨，所以作者給他講了一個農(nóng)民的故事。故選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)“from one job to another”可知此處表示從一個換到另一個，drifting表示“轉(zhuǎn)變，移動”，相當于changing。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Compared with Chris, Ted was much luckier”可知特德比克里斯要幸運一些。D表述錯誤。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“He should and could find a good job and work hard to feed himself, but he just complained all day”可知特德的問題是總是抱怨，他應該找一份好工作，努力工作養(yǎng)活自己。根據(jù)最后一段“Then luckily, I saw Teds change”可知特德發(fā)生了變化，推斷他會找工作并努力工作。故選D。

【5】標題概括題。文章主要講述的是克里斯的故事，作者以此來鼓勵堂哥特德讓他發(fā)生變化。根據(jù)“What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs. But this has not stopped him from working hard and getting things done”可知克里斯雖然沒有四肢但是沒有停止工作。根據(jù)“making the most of his gifts”，“positive attitude and courage”以及最后一段的總結(jié)“Such a man chooses to stay positive”可知作者通過講述克里斯充分利用自己的天賦努力工作，他積極的態(tài)度和他的勇氣，讓大家學會珍惜自己所擁有的一切，而不是抱怨。由此可以概括出文章的標題是學會珍惜自己所擁有的一切。故選D。

【題目】 Long ago, when animals could talk, the camel had antlers and a long, thick, beautiful tail. So the camel was very proud of himself and he always showed off his beautiful and magnificent antlers to the others.

One day, the camel went to drink at the nearby river. A deer came then out of the woods, bowed to him, and said rather sadly:“I was invited to a party tonight, but how can I go there with such a bare forehead? Even if it is just for one hour, I wish to go with such beautiful antlers as yours. Dear friend, could you lend me your antlers for tonight? I’ll return them tomorrow, when you come here to drink.”

The camel, though he was a little vain, had a good heart and took pity on the poor deer’s bald head. So he took his antlers off and gave them to the deer, saying, “Well, tomorrow when I come to drink, you must return them to me.”

The deer quickly took the antlers and disappeared into the woods. On his way, he met a horse and told him how he had got his antlers.

The horse, who had also been invited to the party, thought he would like to find a nice body decoration, too. He then went to the camel and asked him to give him his tail. The kind-hearted camel trusted the horse and gave him his tail.

The next day, the camel went to the meeting point as agreed. While waiting, he was drinking water and stretching his neck to see if the deer and the horse would come. But none of them showed up. Many days and years have passed since then, and the poor camel has still not got back his antlers or his tail.

Because he drank too much water while awaiting the deer and the horse, the camel has got a hump full of water; and because he stretched his neck gazing long and hard for the deer and the horse, his neck has grown long.

The horse kept his tail but, whenever he sees the camel in the distance, he runs away.

As to the deer, he also kept his antlers, but he has to change them every year because the luck of having antlers did not belong to him but to the camel, and he only got them by betraying the camel.

【1】What does “antlers” mean in the passage?

A.鬃毛B.蹄C.角D.駝峰

【2】How did the camel get his hump in the story?

A.The camel exchanged his antlers with the hump of the horse.

B.He drank too much water while waiting.

C.After fighting with the deer and the horse, he got injured.

D.He got it as a present from the deer and the horse.

①Once, the camel had a beautiful tail and antlers.

②The horse was invited to a party and borrowed the tail from the camel.

【題目】 “Smombies”, people walking while staring at their mobile phone are getting attention of the public. To make them pay more attention to things around them in order to avoid serious accidents, the government of a small German town has come up with a solution，that is，fixing traffic lights in the pavement to make them noticed by people who keep looking down at their phones.

The safety measure was decided after two people in the town of Augsburg were recently hit by buses as they crossed the street without looking up from their phones. Officials in Augsburg decided to act，fixing ground-level traffic lights at two bus stops last Tuesday. The lights flash red whenever a bus is coming.

“We realized that many people don’t pay attention to traffic lights,”said Tobias Hermes，a city official. “So we decided to have unusual traffic lights. The more we have，the more probably people will notice them.”

Some Augsburg people seem to be quite happy with the idea. “I think it does have a point,” Jack Smith said，“We always see young people these days running over red lights，which makes it clear that we have to take action to stop this.”

Others，however，don’t think it necessary or helpful and they are against this idea. “I find it scary that mobile phone users are so lost in their phones that they can hardly find the lights on the pavement.” One person told the local paper.

But do these pavement lights really work? “To be honest,I didn’t even notice it,” one teenager who was interviewed said ,“Maybe it’s useful at night，but I didn’t realize it was there until just now.”

Arguments like that are still going on. Whether more such traffic lights will be fixed is till under discussion. Whatever the result is，something must be done to cut down the number of“Smombies” as long as we don’t want to see accidents caused by them again.

【1】What can we learn about “Smombies” from the article？

A.They look away from their mobile phones to keep safe when necessary.

B.They fix their eyes on their mobile phones even while crossing the streets.

C.Most of them get hit by buses.

D.They are mostly teenagers.

【2】What does the underlined word in Paragraph One mean？

A.人行道B.盲道C.護欄D.地下通道

【3】Which of the following will Tobias Hermes support？

A.Buses are the main cause of traffic accidents.

B.Bus lights should flash red while buses are running.

C.The pavement-fixed lights will save people’s lives.

D.The increasing number of traffic lights will get more people’s attention.

【4】What’s the best title for this text？

A.Ground Traffic Lights for people looking at Mobile Phones

B.A Good Way to Educate People to Obey Traffic Rules

C.Ground Traffic Lights Are Very Useful

D.The Serious Problem of Traffic Safety
