【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (車的行李箱).
Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (溝渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (喇叭) and hammering（捶打） on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松開螺絲） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the things from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手） and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (攀爬) clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦傷), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” “Only the tips （尖部）of the car wheels were visible，”police said last night. “The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”
（1）What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A.The Story of Mr. Johnson，a Sweet Salesman
B.Car Boot Can Serve As the Best Escape Route
C.Driver Escaped Through Car Boot
D.The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident
（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

B.Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
C.Mr. Johnson's car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
D.Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.

A.Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B.At last the wrench went broken
C.The chance was lost at the last minute
D.The lock came open after all his efforts
（4）It may be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the ditch was along a quiet country road

【答案】

（3）D
（4）A
【解析】本文記述了Mr. Johnson無(wú)意中陷入溝渠中，被困半個(gè)小時(shí)后，最后他用扳手撬開汽車后備箱，并從后備箱中逃走的故事。

⑴C 主旨題。通讀全文可知，這篇文章主要講述的是Mr. Johnson無(wú)意中陷入溝渠中，被困半個(gè)小時(shí)后，最后他用扳手撬開汽車后備箱，并從后備箱中逃走的故事。故答案C。

⑵C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段“I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”可知，他不能開門，因?yàn)殚T被溝渠的墻堵住了，所以答案是C。

⑶D 詞句理解題。根據(jù)其上文...work on the boot lock及下文but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in 可推知。所以答案是D。

⑷A 推斷題。根據(jù)第4段最后一句 but no help came 及最后一段的第一句 Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby 可推知，地點(diǎn)是在寂靜的農(nóng)村，所以答案是A。

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone's a winner.” And their report cards sounded more positive than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here's how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent is genetic – you're a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it's sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it's quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn't on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it's quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck's book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.
（1）What does the author think about the present generation?
A.They don't do well at school.
B.They are often misunderstood.
C.They are eager to win in sports.
D.They are given too much praise.
（2）A fixed mind-set person is probably one who __________ .
A.doesn't want to work hard
B.cares a lot about personal safety
C.cannot share his ideas with others
D.can succeed with the help of teachers
（3）What does the growth mind-set believe?
A.Admitting failure is shameful.
B.Talent comes with one's birth.
C.Scores should be highly valued.
D.Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.
（4）What should parents do for their children based on Dweck's study?
A.Encourage them to learn from failures.
B.Prevent them from making mistakes.
C.Guide them in doing little things.
D.Help them grow with praise.

【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school's teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懶覺).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (預(yù)測(cè)) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night's sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (轉(zhuǎn)變) in their body clocks.
There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,' said Mr Holloway. 'At Hampton Court House we don't think we have the answer for everybody; it's about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.' He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰時(shí)間).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. 'I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,' said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
（1）Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A.It may be good for students' study.
B.Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C.Students were often late for school.
D.Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
（2）What can we learn about the new start time?
A.It's suitable for every student.
B.It was based on scientific research.
C.Students are following the new school time now.
D.Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
（3）Experts think young people's getting up later ________.
A.is a bad habit
B.is a natural thing
C.is because of laziness
D.is helpful to their study
（4）In Mr. Holloway's eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.
A.working harder
B.not wasting time
C.using time wisely
D.learning new study methods
（5）What's Gabriel Purcell-Davis' attitude towards the new school time?
A.Doubtful.
B.Supportive.
C.Worried.
D.Objective.

A student was one day taking a walk with his teacher. As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They were a poor farmer's, who was working in the nearby field.
The student turned to the teacher, saying: “we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see what he will do.”
“My young friend,” answered the teacher, “we should never make fun of the poor. Why not put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch?” The student did so and they both hid themselves behind the trees. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes.
After putting on his coat, he put his foot into one of his shoes, and felt something hard. Then he bent (彎腰) down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Surprised, he looked at the coin, turned it around and looked at it again. He then looked around, but no person was seen. He put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe. His surprise was doubled on finding the other coin.
He couldn't control his feelings and fell to his knees, looked up to the sky and expressed his thanks. Then he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. He said the help would save them from dying.
