【題目】閱讀理解
Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family's last vacation. It was my six-year-old son's winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a week-long trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York, so I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.
The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?
Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.
I've made a living looking for the best deals and exposing （揭露） the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.
I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money's worth. I'm also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.
（1）Why did Delta give the author's family credits?
A.They had early bookings.
B.They took a later flight.
C.Their flight had been delayed.
D.Their flight had been cancelled.
（2）What can we learn about the author?
A.She is interested in cheap products.
B.She seldom makes a compromise（折衷）.
C.She is very strict with her children.
D.She rarely misses a good deal.
（3）What does the author do?
A.She's a teacher.
B.She's a housewife.
C.She's a businesswoman.
D.She's a media person.
（4）What does the author want to tell us?

B.How to reserve airline seats.
C.How to expose bad tricks.
D.How to make a business deal.

【答案】
（1）B

Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake.
Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust.They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again. It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there.
Learn to really trust yourself. Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being.
If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated.
Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.
A. You didn't lose “everything”
B. It is putting confidence in someone.
C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim.
D. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore.
E. Remember that you can expect the best in return.
F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.
G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.

【四川省涼山州高中畢業(yè)班第二次診斷性】D

One hot summer I was traveling down the freeway on a day trip to Los Angeles. During my journey down the highway, another motorist suddenly started cutting into my lane. Being in the far right lane, my car was forced onto the shoulder of the road. Being an experienced driver, I steered my car back onto the highway, the motorist drove away without saying anything.

While I wasn’t very happy with the person for cutting in front of me, I decided to consider it an honest mistake—a lack of attention to the lane change or a driver lost in thought. It certainly could not have been done on purpose. The car sped away after cutting in front of me and was soon out of sight.

After a while, I caught up with the same motorist on the side of the road. He was an elderly gentleman who was walking along the side of the freeway on this hot day. With his car stopped on the side of the road and the nearest services at least twenty miles away, I decided to stop and see what the problem was.

The man’s car had a flat tire, and while he had a spare tire, he didn’t have a jack. I decided to help him and allowed him to sit in my air–conditioned car while I changed his tire. Fifteen minutes later, I was hot, sweaty and dirty, but I did feel good after doing something for someone.

【1】Which of the following word can best describe the author?

A. Bad-tempered. B. Humorous. C. Hard-working. D. Kind-hearted.

【2】We can infer from the second paragraph that the _______.

A. motorist didn’t pay any attention to the lane change

B. motorist was lost in thought while he was driving

C. motorist cut in front of the author on purpose

D. author forgave the motorist

【3】Why did the motorist stop his car on the side of the road? Because_______.

A. he got lost B. his car had a flat tire

C. he wanted to have a rest D. he wanted to travel with the author

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A. Actions speak louder than words. B. An act of kindness can make you feel good.

My dream is to become a school teacher in the future. In fact, I had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. In my opinion, without teachers, no society could make progresses. There is no doubt whether teachers play an important role in children growth. Not only do teachers pass on knowledge for children, but they also teach children how to behave themselves. Comparing with other jobs, teaching is hard and the pay is lower. And to me, what great fun it is to be with children! They make me to feel young forever because I'll study harder and try my best to realize my dream.

I used to live in San Paulo, Brazil.
It is a huge city with more people (live) in it than in my own country. I rented a flat in a wealthy community, but there was a favela（貧民窟）quite near. For several months I didn't have a car, so I used public transportation to go to the city centre.
Once,my way back, I had to wait for a long time at a bus stop. I was alone, except for a woman was apparently very poor. She carried a small paper bag of popcorn.
Whilewere waiting, she walked over and offered me some popcorn. I thanked her,I didn't want to help myself to it. She repeatedly (insist) that I take some from the paper bag.
I was so moved by that woman's(kind) that day. I clearly had more than she did, but she naturally and joyfully shared she had with me.
I think about how poor people are sometimes able to share the little they have more easily
those who own a lot. I wonder if it's true that the more you have, more difficult it is for you to share anything with others.

New research shows sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (嚙齒動(dòng)物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs (暗礁) with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, compared with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species (物種) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (減少) of grasslands covered with flowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.
（1）What is the passage mainly about?
A.Some new studies about animals.
B.People's wrong ideas about animals.
C.Why the number of animals has dropped.
D.The importance of protecting animals.
（2）According to the first paragraph, we may infer that sheep .
A.are less clever than rodents

C.can read maps
D.are good planners
（3）Which seems to have something to do with the number of butterflies?
A.The species of grass in grasslands.
