11.17-year old Elexis Webster grew up homeless with cruel family members and serious health problems.But Webster has got over these difficulties to become an honor student at her high school.
The teen spent her childhood living in dug-outs(防空洞),cars,and any place where her family could find shelter.She was treated cruelly by her mother,a drug user,who left her and her sister alone without food for days.Her older brother disturbed her study too many tunes.Her poor living conditions led to her becoming extremely weak,which caused her to miss school often.
However,she got a 4.1GPA in the exam,though many wouldn't expect her to have such a hard life.Surviving in the family in an environment like that,she was able to come out of it,and she knew she had to make the best of what happened to her.
At 14,her mother was put in prison for leaving Webster and her sister in a car in the middle of a school day.The two girls were placed in foster care(寄養(yǎng)所)with a woman whom Webster still lives with.She calls her"Mema".
"Mema",who the teen sees as her mom,encouraged Webster as she returned school again.Even after missing three years of school,Webster was able to be excellent.Now Webster has planned to attend University of California at Los Angeles and study physics.
"I got to a place where I was able to keep going and push for higher than a 4.1and push to get into a really great college or university.I see success.I see happiness and I see peace,"she told KPIX 5.

25.Where does Webster live now most probably?C
A.In a car.
B.In the dug-out.
C.In foster care.
D.At the University of California.
26.Why was Webster's mother put into prison?B
A.She was always taking drugs.
B.She left her daughters alone in a car.
C.She stole food for her three children.
D.She didn't let her children attend school.
27.What's the future goal of Webster?C
A.Becoming a physics teacher.
B.Earning enough money to buy a house.
C.Being admitted into a really good college.
D.Breaking away from her mother and brother.
28.What do we know about Webster?D
A.She wouldn't believe in anyone any longer.
B.She got a lot of help from her brother.
C.She was brought up in a warm family.
D.She got motherly love from Mema.

分析 本文屬于說(shuō)明文閱讀,作者通過(guò)這篇文章主要向我們描述了Webster的人生經(jīng)歷,雖然沒(méi)有母親身上得到母愛(ài),但從Mema身上得到了.

解答 25.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章The two girls were placed in foster care(寄養(yǎng)所)with a woman whom Webster still lives with.She calls her"Mema可知Webster可能生活在寄養(yǎng)家庭;故選C.
26.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章At 14,her mother was put in prison for leaving Webster and her sister in a car in the middle of a school day可知Webster的母親進(jìn)監(jiān)獄是由于她將孩子獨(dú)自留在了車上離開(kāi);故選B.
27.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)最后一段I got to a place where I was able to keep going and push for higher than a 4.1and push to get into a really great college or university可知Webster的未來(lái)目標(biāo)是考入一個(gè)好大學(xué);故選C.
28.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章Mema",who the teen sees as her mom,encouraged Webster as she returned school again.Even after missing three years of school可知Webster從Mema身上得到該得到的母愛(ài);故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

3.Weight loss is a hard topic.Lots of people aren't satisfied with their present weight,but most people aren't sure how to change it.You may want to look like the models or actors in magazines or on TV,but those goals might not be healthy or realistic for you.(36)B

(37)FThe best way to find out if you are at a healthy weight or if you need to lose or gain weight is to talk to a doctor or dietitian.(38)GIf it turns out that you can benefit from weight loss then you can follow a few of the simple suggestions listed below to get started.

Small changes are a lot easier to keep than large ones.Try reducing the amount of what you eat.Try cutting down the fat in your daily meals.(40)C.Once you have kept that down,start gradually introducing healthier foods and exercise into your life.

In addition,Rebecca has no control over whether the memories she recalls will be positive or negative-recalling painful experiences with such vividness that she has suffered from post-traumatic (創(chuàng)傷后的) stress disorder.Rebecca said,"Recently,I went back to my old school for my sister's high school graduation.Being in that building again brought all those memories flooding back.I burst into tears and had to leave."

6.In the United States,when one becomes rich,he wants people to know it.And even if he does not become very rich,he wants people to think that he is.That is what"Keeping up with the Joneses"is about.It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He told this story about himself.He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23.That was a lot of money in those days.He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses,Momand went horseback riding every day.When he saw that rich people had servants,Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race,but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to an apartment (公寓房間) in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories.He called it‘‘Keeping up with the Joneses",because"Jones"is a very common name in the United States."Keeping up with the Joneses"came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you.Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses.And there are"Joneses"in every city of the world.But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does,Mr.Jones always seems to be ahead.

16.When US musician Bob Dylan was announced as the winner of this year's Nobel Prize for literature last month,many people took to social media to suggest that Leonard Cohen was the only other living songwriter who deserved(值得)the honor.
Sadly,on Nov 7,the deep-voiced Canadian artist died at the age of 82.
Many tributes(稱贊)were written for Cohen,who had just released his 14th album,You Want It Darker,on Oct 21st."Leonard Cohen is as important today as he was in the 1960s,"Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on in a statement."His ability to describe human emotion made him one of the most influential and lasting musicians ever."
Cohen's most famous song,Hallenlujah,in which he compared physical love to a need for spiritual connection,has been recorded hundreds of times by different musician since it was first released in 1984.
And Cohen's song Bird on a Wire(1969)could be considered a perfect epitaph(墓志銘)that he wrote for himself.As the song's first line goes,"Like a bird on a wire,like a drunk in midnight choir(合唱團(tuán)),I have tired in my way to be free."
"Cohen writes words that explain what it means to be human.I've read poetry that has as much beauty as Cohen's work,but in the world of music,Cohen is a rarity,"US singer Jennifer Warnes told Austin American-Statesman newspaper.‘He describes things that go on inside a heart and what it feels like to be here."
Along with his spirituality,Cohen's dry,deep voice also helped his popularity.In 2006he spoke with the NPR radio station about how he got his interesting voice-apparently it was"500tons of whiskey and a million cigarettes."
But he never forgot to work on the instruments that made up his songs,even though he was most famous for his lyrics (歌詞)and voice.
"There is no difference between a poem and a song,"Cohen said in 1969 interview with the New York Times newspaper."Some were songs first and some were poems first and some were written at the same time.All of my writing has guitars behind it,even the novels."
"When people talk about Cohen,they fail to mention the melodies(旋律),which to me,along with his lyrics,are his greatest genius,"Bob Dylan told the New York magazine."They give a lift to every one of his songs.As far a I know,no one comes close to this in modern music."

28.What do Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan have in common?A
A.They have both written beautiful lyrics.
B.They have both achieved outstanding things in literature
C.They both came from the same country
D.They were both considered the possible winners of Nobel Prize in literature.
29.People often speak highly of Cohen for many things except forB.
A.his voice     B.his melodies     C.his lyrics     D.his influence
30.What can be inferred from the article?D
A.Hallenlujah is the most performed song in the world
B.Bird on a Wire was written to describe Cohen's personality
C.Bob Dylan took inspiration from Cohen's work
D.Cohen said his unhealthy habits contributed to his unique voice.
31.Which of the following words best describe Cohen?C
A.Humorous and optimistic
B.Sensitive(敏感的)and moody
C.Insightful(深刻的)and talented
D.Expressive and rebellious(叛逆的)

3.The world is filled with smart,educated and gifted people.We meet them every day.A few days ago,my car was not running well.I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic(技工) fixed it in just a few minutes.He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine sound.I was amazed.The sad truth is that great talent is not enough.
However,most workers"live within their means":they work and they pay the bills.I suggest that young people find work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.In my opinion,financial intelligence is important.
When I ask the classes I teach,"How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald's?"almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,"So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald's makes more money than you?"The answer is obvious:McDonald's is excellent at business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

12.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show thatD.
A.he is ready to help others
B.he has a sharp sense of hearing

A.do in their own way
B.live in their own circle
C.spend within what they earn
D.pay more than they can earn

A.They don't use their talents.
B.They don't work hard enough.
C.They have no specialized skills.
D.They lack financial intelligence.

A.how McDonald's makes much money
