9.Blind imitation is self-destruction.To those who do not recognize their unique worth,imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength,imitation is unacceptable.
In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful.When I first learned to cook,I used recipes (菜譜) and turned out some tasty dishes.But soon I grew bored.Why follow someone else's way of cooking when I could create my own?Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child's bicycle; they help you get going,but once you find your own balance,you fly faster and farther without relying on them.
In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意識(shí)地) hold poor role models.If,as a child,you observed people whose lives were bad,you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did.If you do not make strong choices for yourself,you will get the results of the weak choices of others.
In the field of entertainment,our culture glorifies celebrities.Those stars look great on screen.But when they step off screen,their personal lives may be disastrous.If you are going to follow someone,focus on their talent,not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.
Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.
Study your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not serve you.Then you can say,"I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors'tragedies and declare victory,and know that they are cheering me on."

36.Imitation proves useful when youC.
A.know you are unique
B.lose the balance of life
C.begin to learn something new
D.get tired of routine practice
37.To avoid the bad result of imitation,we shouldB.
A.forget daily fear and pain
B.choose the right example
C.a(chǎn)sk others for decisions
D.stay away from stars
38.According to the author,the world moves on because of those who areB.
A.desperate to influence others with their knowledge
B.ready to turn their original ideas into reality
C.eager to discover what their ancestors did
D.willing to accept others'ideas
39.The trouble a creator faces isD.
A.the lack of strong motivation
B.the absence of practical ideas
C.how to search for more materials
D.how to use imagination creatively
40.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A
A.To highlight the importance of creativity.
B.To criticize the characters of role models.
C.To compare imitation with creation.
D.To explain the meaning of success.

分析 本文為議論文   作者告訴人們:盲目模仿是自我毀壞.幸運(yùn)垂青那些樂于把自己的新奇想法付諸實(shí)踐的人們;世界的發(fā)展更是需要這些有創(chuàng)造力的人.

解答 36-40 CBBDA
36.答案 C 推理題.由第二段第一句"In the early stages of skill or character development,imitation is helpful."可知,在技能和品格培養(yǎng)的早期,模仿是有益的.由此可推知,當(dāng)你開始學(xué)習(xí)一件新的事情時(shí),模仿是有用的.故正確答案為C.
37.答案 B 推理題.由第三段第一句"In daily life,imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously hold poor role models."可知,如果我們盲目地選擇模仿對(duì)象,那么我們很可能會(huì)受傷害.由此推知,正確的做法是選擇好的榜樣作為模仿對(duì)象.故正確答案為B.
38.答案 B 推理題.由倒數(shù)第二段第四句"The world is changed not by those…,but by those who do what has been done inside them."可知,我們的世界之所以進(jìn)步,不是因?yàn)槟切┳銮叭俗鲞^的事情的人們,而是因?yàn)槟切┌炎约簝?nèi)心的想法付諸于實(shí)踐的人們.故正確答案為B.
39.答案 D 細(xì)節(jié)題.由倒數(shù)第二段最后一句"The problem a creator faces  is  not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination."可知,創(chuàng)造者所面臨的問題不是如何用盡材料,而是怎樣利用所有材料敲開想象的大門.由此可知,創(chuàng)造者所面臨的問題就是如何創(chuàng)造性地利用想象,故正確答案為D.
40.答案 A 主旨題.從整篇文章來看,作者主要告訴我們不要盲目模仿,應(yīng)該有自己的創(chuàng)造性.在四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中與該意思接近的是A項(xiàng)(為了闡明創(chuàng)造性的重要性),這也正是作者寫這篇文章的目的.故正確答案為A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 主旨大意題在閱讀文章中是?嫉念}型.解答這類試題的英語閱讀理解技巧:1.讀首句抓大意.文化教育類閱讀理解文章多采用說明文、議論文體裁,而這類文章大都采用文章段落的中心,即主題句在文章開頭.因此,要尋找這類文章的主旨大意就需要研究文章的首句. 2.讀尾句抓大意.有時(shí)這類文章的主題句安排在文章的結(jié)尾,作為對(duì)全篇的總結(jié). 3.讀首段抓大意.有些文章或段落的開頭和結(jié)尾部分都有主題句.這種結(jié)構(gòu)是為了突出主題思想而使用兩次點(diǎn)題的寫作方法.這兩個(gè)主題句在句子結(jié)構(gòu)和用詞上有所不同,而且在內(nèi)容上前句和后句也不重復(fù). 4.從段落中抓大意.有些文章或段落的主題句在文章中,這種文章或段落往往以一句話或幾句話引出要表達(dá)的主題,在主題句出現(xiàn)后,再舉例子陳述細(xì)節(jié)或繼續(xù)論證. 5.歸納要點(diǎn)抓大意.有些文章或段落無明顯的主題句,只是暗示性地體現(xiàn)主題.這就要求同學(xué)們?cè)陂喿x過程中根據(jù)文中所敘述的事實(shí)或線索來概括總結(jié)主旨大意.

20.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house.As they were working,a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
"What are you doing?"asked one of the visitors.
"We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!"one of the brothers said excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh,telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.After a long silence,one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders,worms and all kinds of other insects.He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing(嘲笑)visitors.Then he said quietly and confidently,"Even if we don't dig all the way through the earth,look what we found along the way!"
Their goal was far too ambitious(有野心的),but it did cause them to dig.And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words,to set us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved.Not every job will end successfully.Not every relationship will endure(長久持續(xù)).Not every dream will be realized.But when you fall short of your aim,perhaps you can say,"Yes,but look at what I found along the way!Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!"
It is in the digging that life is lived.And I believe it is joy in the journey,in the end,that truly matters.
21.Which of the following is NOT the reason why the older boys laughed at the two brothers?A
A.The two brothers only dug out a lot of insects  B.The two brothers lacked knowledge of the earth.
C.The two brothers were foolish.D.The two brothers had a far too ambitious goal.
22.What does the underlined part"when you fall short of your aim"probably mean?C
A.When you are shorter than you expected
B.When you have less than the amount than you wanted
C.When you fail to obtain(得到)what you expected
D.When you miss the target you are aiming at
23.The passage is written toD.

17.[1]How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life.Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are,and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.
[2]Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner.If we do,they tell us,we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment.Changing fashion,of course,does not apply just to dress.A barber today does not cut a boy's hair in the same way as he used to,and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did.The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.
[3]What causes fashions to change?Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion.Take hats,for example.In cold climates,early buildings were cold inside,so people wore hats indoors as well as outside.In recent times,the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats:more American men followed his example.
[4]There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion.In the 1920s in Europe and America,short skirts became fashionable.After World War Two,they dropped to ankle length.Then they got shorter and shorter and the miniskirt was in fashion.After a few more years,skirts became longer again.
[5]Today,society is much freer and easier than it used to be.It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else.Within reason,you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion.The popularity of jeans and the"untidy"look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.
76.What do the fashion magazines or TV advertisements claim to bring to us?
(no more than 2words
77.Why does the writer take President Kennedy as an example?(no more than 14 words)To show the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion
78.What does the writer try to explain by talking about short skirts?(no more than 8 words)There is a cyclical pattern in fashion                                                                
79.Why are jeans so popular according to the writer?(no more than 10 words)Because it's a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion                                               
80.According to the passage,how can the fashion in modern society be best described?( one word)Free.

18.Ellen Parker was worried about her health.She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs.She was soon out of breath.
"I suppose I had better go to the doctor,"she thought.
She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
"I'm not surprised at all,"he said."It's obvious what your problem is."
He examined her and then gave her some advice.
"If you don't do what I say,Mrs.Parker,"he said,"you will have a heart attack.It could kill you."
Ellen Parker was very worried as she left the doctor's.She knew that she had to take his advice but it would not be easy and it would take time.
The next day she went shopping.The first shop she went into was a butcher's shop (肉鋪).
"I'd like ten pounds of steak (牛排),please,"she said.
"Certainly,madam,"the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak.He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and put it on the scale (天平).
