【題目】B

If a sitcom(情景喜劇)that lasts for l0 years is considered popular，then surely one that still arouses emotions after 20 must be considered a classic．Friends first aired in the US in 1994，featuring a cast of six young men and women in New York．In the time since，it’s become one of the most famous titles in the sitcom style，aired in over 100 countries and regions in the world．

The show is typical among those who grew up in the 1990s because it explores basic yet important themes like friendship，struggling to survive in a big city，and finding independence and identity，all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．

Against the background of the Internet age，IT staff who were once marginalized(排斥)and laughed at have experienced a revival due to the popularity of hit show The Big Bang Theory，in which four talents lacking normal social skills make an attempt at living on a college campus．

At the same time，Gossip Girl，describing a young cast of New Yorkers born with silver spoons in their mouths，demonstrates the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience．The show’s fashion and mature subject matter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．

Although these typical TV shows span a wide timeline and feature a variety of themes，they all have a universal topic．Love，money，friendship，career aspirations and identity are things all young people struggle to understand．Why are they still fascinating? It remains to be found out．

【1】Why is the sitcom Friends typical among young people in the 1990s?

A．Because it is a breakthrough in the producing style．

B．Because it is the most influential sitcom of all time．

【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?

【答案】

【1】C

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)第二段because it explores basic yet important themes like…all of which are still relevant to young audiences today．因?yàn)樗剿鞯氖窍裼颜x、在大城市的拼搏、獨(dú)立這樣重要的主題，這些也和當(dāng)今的年輕人有關(guān)。

【2】題 選項(xiàng)B錯在everything, 四個天才缺少社會生活技巧。C選項(xiàng)是說生活大爆炸出現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)絡(luò)產(chǎn)生之前，很明顯是錯誤的。生活大爆炸的熱播使從事IT的人不再受排斥和嘲笑，相反改善了從事技術(shù)產(chǎn)業(yè)職員的狀況。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題 根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段的born with silver spoons in their mouths“含著銀勺子出生的”可知，講的是富二代，而不是C的普通女孩。capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．“吸引了青少年和成年人的興趣。”所以選項(xiàng)A錯誤。the difficulties upper-class adolescents experience“上等階層青少年的困難”不是D 中的upper-class people。本段最后一句The show’s fashion and mature subject matter allowed it to capture the interest of both teenagers and adults．關(guān)鍵詞fashion和mature subject可知，選A。

【4】判斷推理題 根據(jù)文章最后一句Why are they still fascinating? It remains to be found out．可知，接下來會談?wù)摰竭@些電視劇受歡迎的原因。

【題目】Mr. Black was the manager of a hotel in Atlanta. One weekend all of the hotels were full because of a large business meeting being held in the city. On Sunday night, three men came into Mr. Black’s hotel and asked for rooms. Mr. Black told them that there were no more rooms available. The men didn’t know what to do because they had no place to stay in.

Mr. Black wanted to help them. He remembered that there was an empty room at the far end of the first floor — Room 112. It was a very small room, and had rarely been used as a guest room before. So, he asked the three men if they would mind sharing that small room. They replied that they would be very satisfied so long as there was a room for them to stay in for the night.

Mr. Black then told them that the room would cost them $ 30 in total. On hearing this, each of the three men gave Mr. Black $ 10 before they left for their room.

However, Mr. Black soon began to think that $ 30 was really too much for that small room. He called his assistant over and said, “Here is $ 5. Give it back to the three men in Room 112. Each of them paid me $10. That’s too much.”

The assistant took the money. While he was on the way to that small room, he thought, “How can three men divide $ 5? I’ll give each of them only $ 1 and keep the $ 2 left to myself. The men will be happy to get anything back, and I can also make some money that way. After all, Mr. Black will never know anything about it.” So, the assistant returned only $1 to each of the three men.

Each man had first paid $ 10. After the assistant returned $1 to him, each man had actually paid only $ 9. There were three men. $ 9×3="$27." The assistant kept $ 2. $ 27 + $ 2=" $" 29. Where is the missing dollar?

【1】Why didn’t Mr. Black offer Room 112 to the three men at first?

A. The key had been lost.

B. It was too small for three men.

C. No one had stayed there before.

D. It was not bright enough.

【2】How much did Mr. Black first ask each man for the room?

A. $ 30. B. $15. C. $10. D. $9.

【3】How were the manager and his assistant in behavior?

A. The manager was honest but the assistant was not.

B. The manager worked hard, but the assistant was lazy.

C. The assistant was clever but the manager was not.

D. The manager did not know how to make money, but the assistant did.

【4】Where is the missing dollar?

A. The three men took it.

B. The manager hid it secretly.

C. The assistant kept it.

D. There is no missing dollar.

【題目】 When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?

The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.

The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.

Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.

When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.

【1】What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?

A. Surprised. B. Interested.

C. Negative. D. Confident.

【2】The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.

A. explain what homeschooling is.

B. express his views on homeschooling.

C. share his ways of teaching his children.

D. promote homeschooling

【3】The underlined word “confined” in the Para.2 can be replaced by _______.

A. free B. restricted

C. devoted D. accustomed

【4】According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?

A. They can be better at socializing.

B. They can be more popular.

C. They will become braver.

D. They can study better.

【5】How does the passage mainly develop?

A. By following the order of importance.

B. By following the order of time

C. By presenting facts.

D. By making comparison.

Kids’ health: four steps for fighting stress

Everybody gets stressed from time to time. 【1】 some ways of dealing with stress--- like screaming or hitting someone--- don’t solve much. But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better.

Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:

(1) get support. When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you. Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives. 【2】 they might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet.

(2) Don’t take it out on yourself. Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves. Oh , dear, that’s not a good idea. Remember that there are always people to help you. Don’t take it out on yourself. 【3】 -

(3) Try to solve the problem. After you are calm and you have support from adults and friends, it’s time to get down to business. 【4】 even if you can’t solve it all, you can solve a piece of it.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary（暫時(shí)的）. Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it.

These steps aren’t magic, but they do work.. and if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster. 【5】

A. Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation.

B. Notice your friends’ feelings and find a way to help them.

C. Different people feel stress in different ways.

D. Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone.

E. You need to figure out what the problem is.

F. And don’t forget about your friends.

G. Then, find a way to calm down.

【題目】Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch．We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there．In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wife’s sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping．It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadn’t decided where we should meet for lunch．Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem．There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there．Needless to say, we didn’t find her．

It was now one o’clock, and the concert began at 2:30．“Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully．By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway．Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be．An hour later we were still trying to find it．Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog．With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road．

By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge．It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey．Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train．Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell．It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night．Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day．

【題目】Edda, a Little Valkyrie’s First Day of School

Written and illustrated(配圖) by Adam Auerbach.

32 pp. Christy Ottaviano/Holt. $15.50.

Edda’s home is in Asgard, “a land full of magic and adventure.” But Edda, the littlest Valkyrie, doesn’t have quite enough to do, until her father flies her “all the way to Earth for the first day of school.”

The contrast between home and school is hard to get used to (in one, she can ride reindeer; in the other she gazes guinea pig(天竺鼠) through glass at the classroom). In his first picture book, Auerbach mixes the two worlds perfectly. Children are likely to appreciate the joke.

Planet Kindergarten

By Sue Ganz-Schmitt. Illustrated by Shane Prigmore.

32 pp. Chronicle. $14.99.

After careful preparations and a successful blastoff, a boy finds himself in a very unfamiliar environment. “We’re aliens from many galaxies(星系) on Planet Kindergarten,” he reflects as he sees his very varied classmates for the first time.

Prigmore, who designs for the movie industry, uses black backgrounds and bright colors to give this space adventure visual excitement and humor.

The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade

By Justin Roberts. Illustrated by Christian Robinson.

42 pp. Putnam. $18.99.

It makes sense that the author of the long, rhyming lines in “The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade” is a children’s music performer. The story is about the power of one small person to fight prejudice.

Sally, whom no one ever seems to notice, is “paying super extra special attention” to the “terrible stuff” happening around her. When she decides to take action, she’s not alone for long.

And Two Boys Booed

By Judith Viorst.

32 pp. Margaret Ferguson/Farrar, Straus & Giroux. $16.59.

Ever felt quietly confident one minute, and a shaking mess the next? In Viorst’s story about determination, a little boy wakes up thinking about singing his song in the class talent show.

【1】Which of the following is true about the book Edda, a Little Valkyrie’s First Day of School?

A. Edda found it easy to apply herself to the life on earth.

B. The book was Adam Auerbach’s first picture book.

C. The book was illustrated by Shane Prigmore.

D. The story of the book was about a little boy’s determination.

【2】If you are interested in space adventure, you would probably choose______.

A. Edda, a Little Valkyrie’s First Day of School

B. Planet Kindergarten

C. The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade

D. And Two Boys Booed

【3】The book The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade was published by__________.

A. Christy Ottaviano/Holt.

B. Chronicle.

C. Putnam

D. Margaret Ferguson/Farrar, Straus & Giroux.

【4】All of the four books mentioned_______________.

Reasons to exercise regularly

You’ve been told a hundred times that exercise is good for your health.___ 【1】____Here are four benefits that you can get from just a little daily exercise.

____【2】_____ Do you feel a bit more clear after good daily exercise? Not only is your brain getting more energy and oxygen, but many studies have shown that exercise can help you remember and learn things better. Of course, an intense exercise right before a big exam could leave you more tired than smart - but the two are still undoubtedly linked.

You will become more confident.___ 【3】____ Through exercising, you will feel more accomplished and social (if you work out at a gym). Even if you don’t see immediate results in your body, the effort will make you feel better - and a bit of confidence can go a long way.

You will live longer. It’s no secret that healthy living will keep you alive longer. One study found that exercise improves life expectancy as much as quitting smoking.__ 【4】_____ And just a bit of regular exercise can slow the process for a while.

You will sleep better. If you ever have trouble falling asleep at night, it is a good way to solve this problem with regular exercise. The National Sleep Foundation says that regular exercise can help you sleep better. ____【5】_____ If you exercise too closely to bedtime, it can actually have the opposite effect! Luckily, you can choose other good ways to fill up that pre-bed relaxation time.

A. You will be happier.

B. You will improve your memory.

C. It is really true that sitting all day is killing you.

D. Both of these are important parts of losing weight.

E. It’s true, and it’s good for a lot more than just losing weight or building muscle.

F. Obviously, exercise can improve your appearance which can improve confidence.

G. The best time to exercise is in the morning or in the afternoon, rather than before bed.
