【題目】As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, and no cages either. It was obvious that the elephants could, at any time, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the rope of the same size to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away.”

The man was amazed. These animals can break free from their bonds at any time, but because they believe they can’t, they are stuck right where they are.

【答案】Some adult elephants, which could have easily broken away from the chains which confine them, chose to remain where they were. This is largely due to their conditioned thinking pattern, which were formed from their early age.(37 words)

The passage casts spotlight on the moral that once the fixed thinking pattern is deeply rooted in one's mind, it becomes extremely challenging for one to make any positive changes to the circumstances. Ridiculous as it may sound, it is not uncommon for us to see some vivid examples around. For instance, some of us invariably blame our failure in exams on our poor genes inherited from our parents, thus never adopting any effective approaches to polish up this subject.(80 words)

To eliminate this vicious thinking pattern, I should determinedly resort to my teachers or parents for help. I will talk my problems through and seek their suggestions. Once finding out the underlying reasons for my fixed thinking pattern, I will think out of the box and see things from a different angle.(51 words)

【解析】文章要求首先根據所講故事用30個詞概括故事大意,這需要我們看懂故事的內容,找到文章要點,抓住本質。比如故事中為什么大象為什么不逃脫小小的繩子,關鍵是思維觀念的束縛,這一點必須要點出來。第二步要求用120詞談談對此的看法,內容包括:1.這個故事有什么寓意?要求剖析故事本質及導致的原因,根植內心的思維模式或道德準則等,可結合實際例子進行更詳細的描述,更全面的說明。2.你如何解決這樣的問題?結合自己實際寫出解決辦法,如向父母家長尋求幫助,發(fā)現問題及時解決,跳出固定的思維框架多角度看問題等。

寫作時一定要通過現象看清本質,觀點要明確。還要注意敘述的條理性。

【亮點說明】本文要點全面,觀點明確,并使用高級句型和高級詞匯,如定語從句which could have easily broken away from the chains which confine them;which were formed from their early age. that once the fixed thinking pattern。倒裝句Ridiculous as it may sound,不定式to eliminate this vicious thinking pattern;詞語due to,casts spotlight on,invariably,resort to。

【題目】A new American weather satellite could save more lives by better predicting extreme weather conditions. It will be in orbit(軌道)some 36,000 kilometers above Earth’s surface. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as NOAA, has been working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on the project.

NOAA officials are calling the new satellite GOES-R. That is short for a much longer name—the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-R Series. NOAA said GOES-R could improve the nation's ability to observe weather conditions and make weather predictions. It said the satellite's operation would lead to more exact and timely weather forecasts watches and warnings.

The government agency said the satellite will require testing of its six instruments and will be ready to work “within a year."

"The next generation of weather satellites is finally here." said NOAA Administrator Kathryn Sullivan. She described GOES-R as one of the most complicated Earth-observing machines ever created. Sullivan said its instruments will be able to study Earth five times faster and with four times more detail than any other NOAA satellite currently in operation. She believes this will make the United States an even stronger, moreWeather-Ready" nation.

A NOAA statement said the greater detail will help improve the agency’s study of ocean storms, as well asthe prediction and warnings of severe weather. "In addition, GOES-R will be able to provide improved rainfall estimates (預計), which will lead to more timely and detailed flood warning. The statement also said that GOES-R will give better estimates of wind strength, as well as better measurement of fog, ice or lightning strikes.

Craig Fugate serves as administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He says that the GOES-R satellite will improve the ability of people and organizations across America to prepare for, and react to, weather-related disasters.

1Whats the purpose of this new American satellite?

A. To test new instruments. B. To improve people’s lives.

C. To forecast weather disasters. D. To replace old weather satellites.

2What benefit will the U. S.

A. get from the satellite’s operation?

A. The advantages to own the most advanced technology.

B. More accurate and timely weather information.

C. The ability to monitor the earth from high space.

D. More powerful ability to control the weather.

3What do you know about the satellite from Paragraph 5?

A. Which aspects the satellite can improve.

B. When the satellite can find severe weather.

C. How the satellite helps to study the oceans.

D. How long the satellite forsees a weather disaster.

4Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Weather Predictions Expected to Improve with New U. S. Satellite.

B. Fighting Disasters Needs More Exact Weather Predictions.

C. New Science and Technology Used in New Weather Satellite.

D. American Weather Prediction Takes a Lead in the World.

【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項中,選出最佳選項。
(A)
An Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently — one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé (簡歷) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him.
Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for our paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists — everyone — is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
(1)What does the writer think of the reporter?
A.Optimistic.
B.Imaginative.
C.Ambitious.
D.Proud.
(2)What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A.Finding the news value of his stories.
B.Giving him financial support.
C.Helping him to find issues.
D.Improving his good ideas.
(3)Who probably wrote the letter?
A.An editor.
B.An artist.
C.A reporter.
D.A reader.

【題目】In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁榮). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culturewhich only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.

1Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty.

C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.

2The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in paragraph 3 means_____.

A. those who try their best to win

B. those who value competition most highly

C. those who are against competition most strongly

D. those who rely on others most for success

3What is the similar belief of the true competition and those with a “desire to fail”?

A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.

B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.

C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One’s success is based on how hard he has tried.

4Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

【題目】Choosing the Right Path to Be a "Better" Person

Life is a constant exercise in self-improvement. In the rush to achieve, the idea of being "better" can become lost sometimes.1Here are some tips for you.

Explore your talents.

Everybody has some outstanding skills or interests. So it's often necessary to be patient and try

many things before you find one that suits you.

2For example, people loving adventure may not be interested in the quiet chess club, but someone who enjoys other quiet activities might be. Determining who you enjoy being around may help you know what you'll enjoy.

3

No matter how much money you make, you will not be happy if you spend your entire life doing something you hate. It's important to at least devote some of your time to what makes you happy. If you're particularly unhappy at your job, consider why.4If you feel your job isn't meaningful, or isn't in line with your values, consider finding another job

Experience something new.

Research has shown that when we're in our comfort zone, we aren't as productive as we are

when we step just beyond it.5Because of that, we may react slowly to our own positive

experiences and interactions with others, even when those are little scary. Doing so can help you

achieve more.

A. Do what you love.

B. Devote yourself to your job.

C. Humans adapt very quickly to positive events.

D. It's possible that some changes may change your feeling.

E. Similar types of people may be attracted to the same activities.

F. Try not to allow yourself to focus so much on a certain aspect of your life.

G. You may wonder how to improve yourself and fulfill your dreams in an easier way.
