【題目】閱讀下面的短文,然后根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。

“What is the meaning of life?” This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another. It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer that I ever came across was written by the great psychologist(心理學(xué)家), Viktor Frankl. Frankl wrote that “The meaning of life is to give life meaning.”

When I was a young boy I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, jumping, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike. When I went to school I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my mom and dad proud.

When I was a teenage boy I found meaning in playing sports, hanging out with my friends, and trying to impress (給……以深刻印象) girls.

In college I found my meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career(職業(yè)) I wanted to prepare for.

When I was working as a teacher I found meaning in helping to open young minds to new ideas and old wisdom.

When I married and had children I found meaning in protecting, providing for, and watching over those I loved.

As I got older, I began to realize that meaning isn’t something that comes and goes: We can give meaning to every moment of our lives here. We can bring meaning to the things we do. We can bring meaning to the hearts we touch.

All we have to do is love. It is love that gives life meaning. It is love that makes life worth(值得) living.

3根據(jù)第四段“In college I found my meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career(職業(yè)) I wanted to prepare for. ”可知上大學(xué)的時(shí)候,我通過(guò)決定我想要學(xué)習(xí)什么并且我想要為什么職業(yè)做準(zhǔn)備而發(fā)現(xiàn)了我的意義。故填:By deciding what he wanted to study and what career he wanted to prepare for.

5根據(jù)全文第一句“‘What is the meaning of life?’ This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another.”“生命的意義是什么?”這是一個(gè)我們都會(huì)時(shí)不時(shí)問(wèn)自己的問(wèn)題。故可知本文主要討論的是生命的意義。故填The meaning of life.

【題目】 The giraffe is the tallest modern land animal. It can be over 5. 5 meters tall. Its neck bone may be 1. 9 meters long. Yet the giraffe has only seven bones (骨頭) in its neck, the same number as in the human. Even a small bird has many more bones in its neck than in a tall giraffe. Each bone in a giraffe’s neck is very long, while the bones in a human’s neck are small. That makes the difference. A female giraffe gives birth to one baby at a time. The baby, called a calf, is about 1. 9 meters tall at birth. By the age of eight it is full-grown. The giraffe can live for 30 years; the giraffe is good at running; it can run 30 kilometers per hour. The giraffe likes to live together, usually 7-10 a group. The giraffe eats mostly leaves. Because it has a long neck, it can reach the leaves high up on the trees.

判斷下列句子的正誤,正確的填(T)錯(cuò)誤的填(F

1The giraffe is the tallest modern animal living in the land.

2the giraffe has more bones in its neck than that in the human.

3The bones in a giraffe’s neck is very small and short.

【題目】 In this age of Facebook and Twitter, we are all supposed to have hundreds of friends. But in fact most of us have just two close friends — down from an average(平均水平) of three 25 years ago, a study says.

Researchers (研究者) say there is no need to worry about that. Instead, they say that while some of us may be getting “more vulnerable (脆弱的)”, many are becoming better at deciding who is their close friend.

The result seems unexpected. Because a lot of young people are trying to make as many “friends” as possible on the Internet.

According to Facebook, the average user usually has 130 friends, but many of these are people who are known by accident or people the user will never meet in real life.

But the researcher, Mr. Brashears says, although the circle(圈子) of friends is getting smaller, which may make us more vulnerable, we’re not as “l(fā)onely” as the result shows.

For his study, Mr. Brashears did a survey in more than 2,000 adults aged 18 and older. He found that, modern discussion networks have been smaller in size. It is the same as other researchers’ findings, but few people have become lonelier.

Researchers asked people to list the names of people they had discussed important matters with over the past six months. About 48% of them listed one name, 18 % listed two, and about 29% listed more than two names for these close friends.

On average, one person had 2.03 close friends. And just over 4% of them didn’t list any names.

1According to the study, how many close friends do most of us have?

A.25.B.2.C.3.

2The underlined word “unexpected” probably means “________” in the passage.

A.有趣B.令人興奮C.意外

3About Facebook friends, which of the following is TRUE?

A.The Facebook user never meet some Facebook friends in real life.

B.The average user usually has 310 friends.

C.Facebook friends are all old and close friends.

4The passage shows the result of the survey by ________.

A.giving adviceB.telling storiesC.listing numbers

5What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Many people are worrying about their circle of friends.

B.Researchers find many people have only two close friends.

C.Young people make as many friends as possible on the Internet.
