11.It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant.My cap had gone away,and my feet hurt.The loaded plates I carried seemed to be heavier and heavier.Tired and discouraged,I didn't seem able to do anything right.As I made out a check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times,I was ready to stop.Then the father smiled at me as he handed me my tip."Well done,"he said,"you've looked after us really well."Suddenly my tiredness disappeared.I smiled back,and later,when the manager asked me how I'd liked my first day,I said,"Fine!"Those few words of praise had changed everything.Praise is like sunlight to human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it.And yet,most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold criticism,but are unwilling to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.Perhaps that is why one word of praise can bring such pleasure.
It's strange how   chary  we are about praising.Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it.It's especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed.An artist gets admired for a glorious picture,a cook for a perfect meal.But do you ever tell your laundry manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right?In fact,to give praise costs the giver nothing but a moment's thought and a moment's effort.
21.Which of the following Can't describe the writer's situation before she got her tip?D
A.She was tired.
B.She was busy.
C.She was sorry.
D.She was confident.
22.According to the passage,which of the following is least likely to be given praise?D
A.An artist.
B.A cook.
C.A waitress.
D.A laundry manager.
23.The underlined word"chary"in Paragraph 2most probably meansC.
A.cautious              
B.careful               
C.unwilling          
D.greedy
24.What is the best title of the passage?C
A.Why Do You Praise Others?
B.Why do You Criticize Others?
C.Be Generous to Give Others Praise!
D.Don't Criticize Others!

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了作者自己做服務員時雖然不完美卻受到表揚的經(jīng)歷,說明了應該對人多進行表揚和夸獎,這會讓世界更美好.

解答 21.D.細節(jié)理解題.從第一段第一句"It was the end of my first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant."及 …"I was ready to stop"可以看出作者第一天上班就不想再繼續(xù)工作了,可以看出作者沒什么自信,因此She was confident不能描述作者在收到小費前的情況.故選D.
22.D.推理判斷題.從文章第二段"It's especially rewarding to give praise in areas in which effort generally goes unnoticed.An artist gets admired for a glorious picture,a cook for a perfect meal.But do you ever tell your laundry (洗衣房)manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right?But do you ever tell your laundry (洗衣房)manager how pleased you are when the shirts are done just right?"可以看出最不可能受到表揚的應該是洗衣房老板.故選D.
23.C.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)文章第三段"It's strange how   chary  we are about praising.Perhaps it's because few of us know how to accept it"奇怪的是我們對表揚是何其的不情愿.也許是因為我們很少有人知道如何接受它;可知詞義為不愿意的;故選C.
24.C.主旨大意題.通讀全文,可知作者通過自己做服務員時受到表揚的經(jīng)歷,說明了應該對人多進行表揚和夸獎.故C選項正確.

點評 考察學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

19.Darek Fidyka,a 38-year-old Bulgarian,had been paralyzed (癱瘓的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack.Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose,transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓).Now he can walk and even drive a car.The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.
The breakthrough came after 40years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman,who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves,the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows."The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesn't repair itself,"Professor Raisman said.
Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr Fidyka's spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue.The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990's,but this is his greatest success."I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997when I first saw a rat,which couldn't control its hand,put its hand out to me.That was an exciting moment,because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true."
Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt-it might not work for others.But there is a real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.
David Nicholls,who helped provide money for the breakthrough,said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.
"What you've got to understand is that for three million paralyzed people in the world today,the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,"he said.
24.Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from the nose?A
A.The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.
B.Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.
C.The nervous system in the nose has more cells.
D.Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.
25.How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?D
A.The nervous system in the spinal nerves can repair itself.
B.The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.
C.The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.
D.The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.
26.What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be repaired?D
A.His former study with other people.
B.His operation on a paralyzed patient.
C.His sudden thought about Christmas.
D.His unusual experience with a sick rat.
27.David Nicholls'words suggest thatB.
A.the world will become a better and brighter place
B.paralyzed people of today have the hope of recovery
C.the report of the breakthrough will be published soon
D.researchers across the world will carry out the operation.

3.A woman planning"Harry Potter night"at a supper club she runs at home has been forced to change their name after a warning from film studio Warner Bros(華納兄弟).
    The evenings in Kiburn,north London,were due to include food  and other elements from the Harry Potter books.However,Warner Bros,maker of the Harry Potter films,wrote to the club's organizer"Ms Marmite Lover"warning that the parties would infringe(侵犯)its rights.
    The club will now hold two"Genetic Wizard nights"for Halloween.On her blog,Ms Marmite Lover explains that she researched and developed her menu with her Harry Potter-obsessed teenage daughter and a food writer.
    Guests would have to enter the venue,called the Underground Restaurant,through"Diagon Alley"and by giving a password-while a"Sorting Hat"would decide the seating plan.
    After Warner Bros learned about the ticketed(被加標簽)event.it wrote to Ms Marmite Lover saying:"While we are delighted that you are such a fun of the Harry Potter series,unfortunately your proposed use of the Harry  Potter Properties without our permission would amount to an infringement of Wamer's rights."
     The letter added:"Warner does not,of course,object to you holding a generic wizard/Halloween night at the Underground Restaurant."
     Ms Marmite Lover suggested in her blog:"JK Rowling herself,having at one time been a struggling single parent,and having donated to the National Council for one Patent Families,would probably approve of a single mother being entrepreneurial (企業(yè)家的)and creative".
     The Underground Restaurant usually charges diners about 20-30 each,except alcohol.Warner Bros says it has guidelines to help Harry Potter fans run non-profit and charitable events true to the spirit of the stories.
