4.Martin Lynch,an American businessman,had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years.One morning while going for a walk along the beach,he saw his friend Pablo Perez,a local fisherman.Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy.He could also see several large fish in the boat.Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish."Just a few hours,"replied Pablo.Martin asked,"Why didn't you stay longer and catch more fish?""I have enough for my family,"Pablo said."And what do you do with the rest of your day?"asked Martin."I take a nap,play with my children,spend time with my wife,and go into the village to see my friends and play cards,I have a full and busy life."Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish,he could make more money.With the extra money,Pablo could buy more boats and catch money more fish.By selling the fish,Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
"Then what?"asked Pablo."Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business.Finally,you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,"replied Martin."How long will that take?"asked Pablo.
Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.
"And then what"asked Pablo.
"Well,that's the best part,"Martin said."You will be able to retire,buy a house near the ocean,sleep longer,play with your children,spend more time with your wife,see your friends,and play cards."

分析 本文講述了一個(gè)美國(guó)的生意人到墨西哥渡假,他以生意人的角度給當(dāng)?shù)匾粋(gè)漁民一些建議,讓他如何可以賺更多的錢(qián),早點(diǎn)退休過(guò)上輕松的生活.

解答 51.D.主旨題,由全文文意可知,一個(gè)美國(guó)的生意人到墨西哥渡假,以生意人的角度給當(dāng)?shù)匾粋(gè)漁民一些建議,故選D.
52.B.細(xì)節(jié)題,由第二段I have a full and busy life可知,漁民喜充實(shí)繁忙的生活,故選B.
53.D.細(xì)節(jié)題,由第二段."Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish,he could make more money可知生意人建議漁夫多工作一會(huì),抓到更多的魚(yú),然后賣(mài)更多的魚(yú),賺更多的錢(qián).故選D.
54.B.猜詞題,讓學(xué)生猜測(cè)的單詞是unload,load的意思是裝載,負(fù)擔(dān).對(duì)于學(xué)生來(lái)說(shuō)不是很難,加上否定前綴再結(jié)合下文中將魚(yú)打包說(shuō)明是要把船收好,所以正確選項(xiàng)是B.
55.A.推斷題,本文是個(gè)很有寓意的小故事,生意人以自己的眼光覺(jué)得人應(yīng)該盡力工作,盡力賺更多的錢(qián),過(guò)上更加輕松的日子.但是漁夫覺(jué)得過(guò)著忙碌充實(shí)的生活,和朋友交流,和家人聚會(huì)就覺(jué)得很滿足.兩人的看法不一樣,所以最后漁夫還是會(huì)堅(jiān)守自己的看法.故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在做閱讀理解時(shí),考生可快速閱讀短文,通讀測(cè)試題,明確考察點(diǎn),在對(duì)應(yīng)細(xì)讀,加快做題速度.有時(shí)間還可以復(fù)查校對(duì)答案.

If you expect too much and can't get it,you will be disappointed.So change what you want and need,and you are less likely to become angry.

Surround yourself with positive people.
The more people around you show that they are calm and happy,the calmer and happier you become too.
(35)BImagine doing something terrible to the person who is annoying you and change your anger into your imagination.Then you are free to act calmly and reasonably on the surface.

假設(shè)你是紅星中學(xué)高三學(xué)生李華,你的美國(guó)筆友Chris在給你的郵件中提到他最近在準(zhǔn)備SAT考試(美國(guó)高考),心理壓力很大,很苦惱,希望得到你的幫助.請(qǐng)你給他回信,內(nèi)容包括:
1.安慰對(duì)方;

3.給出相應(yīng)的建議及其理由.
注意:詞數(shù)不少于50.
Dear Chris,
I'm sorry to learn that you've been under a lot of pressure lately due to the upcoming SAT test.Anyone in your situation would suffer a certain amount of stress.But don't worry too much,or you may find yourself having problems with sleep,appetite,or even memory.Here are some ways I think that can deal with stress.
The first thing you can try is to exercise.Exercises like walking or running not only boost energy but also build confidence.Another way is to enjoy some games with friends,which can take your mind off the stress and make you more relaxed.It might also be a good idea to talk to someone who is a good listener; having someone to listen to your problems can make you feel better. 
Yours,
Li Hua.
