題目列表(包括答案和解析)
If practicing an attitude of gratitude(感激) during the storms of life is too much for you right now, that’s OK. When things are tough, most people have a hard time being thankful. They’re so caught up in what’s wrong in the present moment that they simply can’t see some things are still right.
If that’s true for you, then accept it. You’re going through a particularly difficult or unhappy period of time, and you don’t like it one bit. Very normal, very human. But remember this: there is always something to be grateful for. It maybe only a small comfort right now, but it is a start. Make a list of some of the terrible things that didn’t happen. For example:
●You’re in debt...but you’re not homeless.
●You lost your job...but you didn’t lose your health.
●You broke your leg...but you didn’t break your neck.
●Your mother has Alzheimer’s disease...but your father doesn’t.
No matter how bad things are, they could always be worse. Start finding gratitude for what might have happened, but didn’t. It does help a lot. Of course, you may not be thankful for everything— but you can always be thankful for something.

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項A、B、C和D中，選出最佳選項。
With the entry of the twenty-first century, we can't help asking ourselves whether it is possible to persuade mankind to live without war. War is an ancient institution (慣例) which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always not only ruinous but also foolish, however, in the past the human race managed to live with it. As we know, the war nowadays is quite different from what it used to be, and its ruination has been incomparably doubled. In some way, either man will abolish(廢除) war, or war will abolish man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons (武器) that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater danger. If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international disputes(爭端) in a new way, not as competition of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people, but by settlement in accordance with agreed law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology(意識形態(tài)) would prevent war. I believe this to be a terrible mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic(武斷)statements which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them, so they are willing to go to war in support of them.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has been very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace that nuclear war must be kept away. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are being approached (接近) is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that talks should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important fight nowadays is not between different countries, but between man and the atom bomb.

[ ]
2．From paragraph 2 we learn that the writer of the passage ________.
[ ]
A．is a supporter of some modern ideologies
B．does not think that the acceptance of any ideology could prevent war
C．believes that the acceptance of some ideologies could prevent war
D．does not doubt the truth of any ideologies
3．According to the writer, ________.
[ ]
A．war is the only way to solve international disputes
B．war will be less dangerous because of the improvement of modern technology
C．it is impossible for people to live without war
D．war must be abolished if man wants to continue to live
4．The last paragraph suggests that ________.
[ ]
A．international agreements can be reached more easily now
B．man begins to realize the danger of nuclear war
C．nuclear war will surely not take place
D．world opinion welcomes nuclear war
When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 1 . Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 3 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 5 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 6 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 7 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page. We use our 8 --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words 9 in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 10 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not. It sounds 11 , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 12 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 13 when we are reading. We 14 a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 15 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.
