A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile(敵意的)person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Mirrors have a very particular __36__. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a __37__ mirror works as the vehicle to reflection, __38__ do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden __39__ a reflection. When we love someone，it's a(n) __40__ of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I'm with that person”. That simply __41__ into “I'm able to love me when I love that other person”. __42__， when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”. Sometimes it's as if we've __43__ each other for a long time. That feeling can come from __44__ similarities.
Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(內(nèi)涵). __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly __47__ about. We may have some criticism(批評)in our mind about the __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend __49__ time.
Often, when we __50__ qualities in other people, ironically(諷刺地), it's usually the mirror that's __51__ to us.
At times we meet someone __52__ and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted. __53__ we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or __54__ to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to __55__ what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.

解析：根據(jù)下一句可知，本句是說鏡子具有獨特的功能或作用，因此選擇function，意為“功能”。
答案：C
解析：就像人們可以從有形的鏡子中看到自己，生活中的所有人也同樣可以反映自己。physical“有形的”。
答案：B
解析：本句是把我們生活中的人比作鏡子，因為前面的句子是肯定形式，因此選擇so，表示“某人或某物也……”。
答案：A
解析：我們所看到的漂亮的花園也是一面鏡子。serve as“充當(dāng)”，符合題意。
答案：D
解析：我們愛別人就是愛我們自己的反映。
答案：C
解析：從句意可知，本句是對前面句子的解釋，因此用translate。
答案：B
解析：經(jīng)常地，我們遇見一個陌生人，感覺仿佛是一見如故。選擇frequently與下一句中的sometimes呼應(yīng)。
答案：D
解析：有時感覺好像我們已經(jīng)相識甚久。
答案：A
解析：這種熟悉感可能來自彼此身上的共同點。share“有同樣的感情(或想法、經(jīng)歷等)”，符合語意。
答案：C
解析：就像“鏡子”或他人能映射出我們積極的一面一樣，我們更有可能注意到映射出自己消極方面的“鏡子”。notice符合語意。
答案：D
解析：作者是用具體的事例來說明本段的中心，因此選擇C項。
答案：C
解析：我們很容易就能記住我們碰到自己不太喜歡的人的時刻。be not crazy about…“不喜歡……”。
答案：A
解析：我們可能在心里對那個人有些反感。the person指上文提到的那個我們不喜歡的人。
答案：D
解析：當(dāng)我們認(rèn)識自己不喜歡與之相處的人時，這種情況就更為明顯。想與他們相處更短的時間，即不喜歡與他們相處，因此less符合題意。
答案：A
解析：本文從兩個方面闡述鏡子的作用，第三段是積極的反映，第四、五段是消極的反映，因此選擇dislike。
答案：B
解析：我們不喜歡別人身上的品性，這也是“鏡子”的作用。speak to sb.對某人訴說，符合語意。
答案：C
解析：根據(jù)下文的“feel distant，disconnected，or...”可知這里是指我們遇到陌生人，因此選擇new。遇到友好的人不會有距離感，因此D項不符合語意。
答案：A
解析：盡管我們不想去相信，不容易也不想去深究，但是弄清楚這個人的哪些品質(zhì)在自己身上有所體現(xiàn)是非常重要的一課。因此選擇although，引導(dǎo)讓步狀語從句。
答案：B
解析：根據(jù)前面的not easy可知深究這個問題是不容易的或者有時也不愿去深究，因此選擇desirable更為貼切。
答案：D
解析：弄清楚這個人的哪些特質(zhì)在自己身上有所體現(xiàn)是非常重要的一課，因此選擇figure out“弄清”。
答案：A

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(獨特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outface? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildness. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century.
1. The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because _______.
A. it was an important clue to life in the past B. it was found on a famous trail
C. it at one time belonged to a VIP D. it was a fashionable shoe at that time
2. According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska _______.
A. eventually became millionaires B. brought with them many shoes
C. had conflicts with the Eskimos D. were not properly equipped
3. The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that _______.
A. they would not die of hunger and cold
B. the army would have enough food for fighting a war
C. they would change these goods with the Eskimos
D. the supplies would make Alaska rich
4. No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, _______.
A. she must have lived a happy life
B. she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose
C. her adventurous spirit is definitely admired
D. her other shoes were equally fashionable
(B)
Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s “no”.
What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.
Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”
Susie Watson, a famous writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(內(nèi)疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(強(qiáng)制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”
Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
“No” is power and strength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
5. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.
A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
6. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.
A. secret way B. polite way
C. proud way D. guilty way
7. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.
A. they say “no” at a suitable time
B. they say “no” as much as possible
C. they are afraid of saying “no”
D. they make others angry at them
8. If a person says “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A. enjoys a wonderful life B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life D. forgets to say “yes” in the end
(C)
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man — the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual(體力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪華地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
9. From paragraph 1, we can know that in America _________.
A. people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B. people can always rise to the top through their won efforts
C. college professors win great respect from common workers
D. people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors.
10. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.
A. servants in American are hard to get
B. she takes pride in what she can do herself
C. she can hardly afford servants
D. It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
11. The expression “ wait on table” in the second paragraph means “_________”.
A. work in a furniture shop B. keep accounts for a bar
C. wait to lay the table D. serve customers in a restaurant
12. Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?
A. A Respectable Self-made Family B. American Attitude toward Manual Labor
C. Characteristics of American Culture D. The Development of Manual Labor
(D)

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物種). That’s a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
17. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.
A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas
B. save endangered animals from dying out
C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study
D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another
18. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.
A. available panda eggs B. host animals
C. qualified researchers D. enough money
19. The best title for the passage may be _______.
A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning
B. The First Cloned Panda in the World
C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas
D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever
20. From the passage we know that _______.
A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog
B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit
C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches
D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida for a long weekend to warm themselves up during one particularly icy cold winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years ago. They both had jobs, so it was decided that the husband would fly to Florida on a Thursday, and his wife would follow him the next day. Upon arriving as planned, the husband checked into the hotel. There he decided to open his laptop and send his wife an e-mail back in Minneapolis. However, he accidentally left off one letter in her address and sent the e-mail without noticing his error.

科目：高中英語 來源：同步題 題型：閱讀理解
I made a pledge (發(fā)誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would
try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical (圣經(jīng)
的) passage about husbands being thoughtful of their wives. Then he went on to say, "Love is an act of will.
A person can choose to love." To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks
that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, "That new yellow sweater looks
great on you.
"Oh, Tom, you noticed," she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but
then I thought, "Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me." We
walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum
though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that's how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love.
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.
Last night at our cottage,p reparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
" What's the matter?" I asked her.
"Tom," she said in a voice filled with distress, "do you know something I don't?"
"What do you mean?"
" Well...that checkup (體檢) I had several weeks ago...our doctor...did he tell you something about me?
Tom, you've been so good to me...am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
"No, honey," I said, wrapping her in my arms. "You're not dying; I'm just starting to live."
