2．There are stories about two U．S．presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don't know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper，he would write"all correct"on it．The problem was that he didn't know how to spell．So what he really wrote was"ol korekt"．After a while，he shortened that term to"OK"．
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York．Van Bnren's friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called"OK"．
21．The authorC．
A．believes both of the stories            
B．doesn't believe a word of the stories
C．is not sure whether the stories are true   
D．is telling the stories just for fun
22．According to the passage，President JacksonD．
A．couldn't draw up any documents at all
B．didn't like to read important papers by himself
C．often had his assistants sign documents for him
D．wasn't good at reading，writing or spelling
23．According to the first story，the term"OK"C．
A．was approved of by President Jackson
B．was the title of some Official documents
C．was first used by President Jackson
D．was an old way to spell"all correct"
24．According to the second story，the term"OK"was first usedB．
A．by Van Buren
B．in a presidential election
C．to organize the Old Kinderhook Club
D．by the members of the"Old Kinderhook Club"

分析 文章講述了與"OK"的由來有關的兩個美國總統的故事．

解答 21-24 CDCB
21．  C    細節(jié)推理題．根據第一段We don't know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．可知作者不知道這些故事是否真實，故選C．
22．  D  推理判斷題．根據第二段President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．可知總統Jackson接受教育很少，讀寫有困難，故選D．
23．  C  推理判斷題．根據第二段So what he really wrote was"ol korekt"．After a while，he shortened that term to"OK"．可知總統Jackson把寫錯了的單詞簡化成了"OK"，是他發(fā)明了這個單詞并首次使用，故選C．
24．  B   推理判斷題．根據最后一段They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called"OK"．可知競選時支持Van Buren的人被叫做"OK"，故選B．

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，要根據文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

14．An Unexpected Storm
This is a story about an extreme storm in Moscow．It happened two and a half years ago．It was the first time in my life that I saw such a strong storm．For Moscow，it was very unusual，and nobody predicted this storm before it happened．
It was a sunny day in July，and I was at home alone watching TV．The windows and the door to the balcony were wide open because the weather was so hot．
Suddenly，I felt a strong wind from outside．I wanted to close the window and came near．I looked out of the window and saw a black sky and trees blowing over because of the strong wind．I tried to close the window，but the wind made me fall down．I was afraid that the glass might break．
I stood up and tried to close the window again，but it was not possible because the wind was now stronger，and it was pushing the window open．I ran into the bathroom and took the mop to close the window．It worked．
When I looked outside，the tree in front of my window was fiat on the ground，and there was strong thunder and lightning．I decided to pull out all the electrical plugs，which took about 10seconds．A sportsman would have envied my speed．
When I finished，I looked outside．It was terrible，and I understood how people are helpless compared to the power of nature．
Suddenly，the wind stopped，and it began to hail （下冰雹）．The ice was the size of grapes．After 10minutes，everything stopped，and the sun shone as before．It was strange．A few minutes later，the phone began to ring every five minutes．It was my friends or relatives．We asked each other how it was and how we felt after the storm．
Many trees died because of the storm．For a few days，the people helped clean parks and gardens．Some people's cars were damaged by trees falling on them．After one week，it was history already．This is my story about an extreme storm in Moscow．It shows us that we are children of nature，and we must respect her．
21．How did the weather change according to the passage？D
A．Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-windy-hail-sunny．
B．Sunny and hot-windy-hail-thunder and lightning-sunny．
C．Sunny and hot-thunder and lightning-hail-windy-sunny．
D．Sunny and hot-windy-thunder and lightning-hail-sunny．
22．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5mean？A
A．I did all the things in a flash．
B．I could run faster than a sportsman．
C．I could stay at home on a stormy day．
D．I was admired by the sportsman for my speed．
23．What did the author learn from the unexpected storm？B
A．Everything will be history．
B．We should respect nature．
C．We should help each other．
D．The disaster will be predicted．

11．A．Get to know yourself．
B．Take care of your body．
C．Practice basic respect towards yourself．
D．Be honest with yourself and with others．
E．Think about what it means to respect someone．
F．Recognize when people disrespect you and take steps to stop it．
How to Respect Yourself A lack of self-respect can prevent you from fulfilling your potential and developing healthy relationships．Here are some steps to help you know how to respect yourself．
61．E  The  qualities  that  we  respect  vary  from  person  to  person，and  the  way  we express it varies from culture to culture．Generally，we respect people who have more experience and are more accomplished  than ourselves．But  there  is  also a basic  level of  respect  that most people will  agree  is  a  right，and  does  not  need  to be  earned．So  think  about what  it means  to respect others．Here are some widely agreed-upon signals of respect：You don't steal from，harm，
or  insult  them； you are honest with  them； you  listen  to what  they say，consider  their opinions，and avoid interrupting them．
62．C We  often  do  things  for  ourselves  that  we  would  never  dream  of  doing  for someone we care about．Whatever you believe to be respectful，apply it to yourself．Don't harm yourself．Don't insult yourself．Don't steal from yourself．Be honest with yourself．Develop your own opinions and don't be afraid to stand by them．
63．F A person with self-respect doesn't allow others to treat them badly，and would rather not be around someone who is disrespectful．This might seem obvious，but there are many times when we accept being  treated badly．When someone doesn't give you basic  respect，you need to be able to say，in one way or another，"You just disrespected me and that's not acceptable!If you don't respect me，I won't spend time with you any more．"Can you say that，and mean it？Can you turn your back on someone who's clearly shown that they don't respect you？Once you do，you'll feel your sense of self-respect go up．
64．B When you make an effort to keep your body in good working order，you'll not only feel better physically，but also  feel a sense of pride．Respecting your body also means not insulting it for what it is，naturally．Make an effort to get fit and stay healthy．Focus on the things you can change and improve，and do them because it feels good．
65．A The more  you  know  about  yourself，the more  you'll  see  and  appreciate  how unique you  really are．And you'll  respect yourself more．Discover your principles，personality，and  talents．Stop waiting  for other people's approval and start developing your own standards．Develop a unique and original way of expressing your opinions while at the same time being a good listener．

12．After decades of skimpy（小而暴露的）skirts and sleeveless tops on game days，some schools in the US are saying cheerleader uniforms will have to meet stricter dress codes when they are worn in class．
In Lake County，Florida，cheerleaders with uniforms too skimpy for the code are being asked to wear long shorts or trousers under their skirts and a T-shirt under the sleeveless tops，according to a district memo．Principals at two of Lake's eight high schools-Leesburg and Lake Minneola-are not allowing the outfits in school at all．
Michelle Thomas，a cheerleader at Leesburg High School，was disappointed when she learned she couldn't wear her outfit to school on game days．
"It shows that we're a team just like all the other sports．"She said．

"Cheerleading is athletic，"Noone said．"There's a lot of jumping so you won't want a knee-length skirt that might hamper a toe touch．"
Most cheerleaders were sad to hear the news，but say they'll follow the rules．Even male cheerleaders，whose pants and tops meet dress codes，chose not to wear their outfits to show unity．
"I understand，because they are kind of short，"said Holly Bishop，14，a Lake Minneola High School cheerleader，about her miniskirt．"It would've been really，really cool to wear them to school．"
