科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆江西南昌10所省重點中學(xué)高三第二次模擬突破沖刺(五)英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解
Life is full of change, and this leads to growth. Change is what keeps our lives moving, and allows us to achieve what we desire and deserve. Like it or not, we need to be willing to go with the flow, and be adaptable when something doesn’t go according to plan. A catalyst is a person that causes something else to happen, and if you’re not currently a catalyst for change, here are some things you can do to become one.
Take a look at what you’ve got going on in your life right now. Write down everything that comes to mind. Is there anything that jumps out at you that you're not content with? Is there something that isn't moving forward as quickly as you would like it to? Identifying what you want to change is the first step to getting somewhere with it.
Take the initiative to make change happen. Once you have identified what you want to work on changing, write down several possible "next steps" you can take to realizing that change. Whatever it is you want to change, you won't get very far without having specific actions in mind to carry out. Start small, and then focus on items that are a bit more involved or difficult and just keep going!
When carrying out a change, it’s great if you’re able to bounce ideas off other people, particularly if they can help you implement that change in some way. Be receptive to feedback, but realize that others’ opinions are not golden. Also remember to give feedback when asked for it. Be sure it's genuine and that you are able to stand behind it.
Create an environment for change. There is nothing more discouraging than trying to create change in an environment that is not conducive to it. It’s like trying to stick to a diet in a house that is filled with chips, cookies, ice cream and chocolate; you are just making it more difficult for yourself.
Change is good, and often leads to process improvement, increased productivity and efficiency. Take the initiative, and make changes to your life to get to where you want to go faster than you are going right now.
【小題1】If you decide to change, you should start by _________.
A.going with the flow |
B.changing from day to day |
C.writing down good ideas |
D.making sure you know what to change |
A.One should accept others’ opinions uncritically. |
B.One should be cautious about the opinions of others. |
C.It’s more important to get than to give feedback. |
D.Change may not happen without ideas from other people. |
A.get approval from others |
B.get your ideas across to other people |
C.get others’ feedback about your ideas |
D.carry out your ideas without the help of others |
A.Change benefits us in different ways. |
B.Creating a good environment is the most important step. |
C.It’s discouraging to try to change one’s environment. |
D.Being a catalyst for change is risky but rewarding. |
A.How to achieve what you desire. |

C.How to act according to your plans. |
D.How to move in the right direction. |

I’m trying to be a writer, but I can’t even start. What should I do?
Abraham, Nebraska
There are many ways to come up with ideas, one of which is to write down a list of your experiences, as well as things from your imagination. When you want to write, look in the notebook for ideas.
Books for writers often have good suggestions, too. One we like is Spilling Ink: A Yong Writer’s Handbook by Anne Mazer and Ellen Potter. Perhaps your library has it.
My classmates keep asking about a new movie I’ve seen. But I don’t want to spoil it for them. What should I do?
Corinne (by e-mail)
You could ask your classmates whether they are sure they want to know and if they insist, go ahead and tell them. You may be able to give them a general idea of the movie without revealing details of the ending.
I’m going to a soccer camp for youth, but I’m not sure if I’m good at soccer or if I’ll make friends.
Louise, New Hampshire
Soccer camp is for people who share an interest in the sport. No matter what a person’s ability is at the beginning, it’s likely that everyone will leave camp with improved skills.
Sharing a common interest may make conversations easier. Smile, be friendly, and have a sense of humor. Before long, you may find that you’ve made some good friends.
Someone invited me to a birthday party. When I got there, kids were doing stuff I’m not interested in, like watching scary movies. I told them my mom would pick me up, so I just left. Was I rude for doing that?
Sam (by e-mail)
You just did the right thing and that isn’t being rude.
We hope you’ll talk with your parents about this. They’re probably proud of what you did. They may have other suggestions for you, too. Talk about different situations that might come up and what would be the best way to handle (處理) them.
【小題1】Who is interested in Spilling Ink: A Yong Writer’s Handbook?
A.Corinne. | B.Louise. | C.Abraham. | D.Sam. |
A.The practice is hard but interesting. |
B.It is difficult to make friends in the camp. |
C.The camp only wants people who are new to soccer. |
D.One’s skills can be improved when leaving the camp. |
A.funny | B.strange | C.foolish | D.smart |
A.keeping smiling | B.Being humorous |
C.Changing your habits | D.Being friendly to others |

For a girl who's interested in fashion, what would be the dream job? Being a model? Probably
no–-that's for a pencil thin who doesn't eat. One answer is, fashion stylist.
Girls can find it hard to ignore this attractiveness and the field is opening up to normal girls,
not only style or fashion design majors(某專業(yè)的學(xué)生). "It looked too high before, but now I
find it more approachable," said Xue Rui, 22, a Fudan University Chinese literature graduate who works as an assistant stylist at Hermès in Shanghai. "There is no certain principle in dressing up models, and you can try every way with your own distinct taste to make them pretty and attractive." Some professionals said that Xue's not mistaken.
The attractiveness of this work is not only in the wonderful clothes. Now it's a career with a bright future and pay packet. The income can allow you to buy expensive clothes and, with your name and photo appearing on pages, readers will remember your fashion tips.
A stylist at a fashion magazine can have some unique rights. You have a chance to contact famous persons and dress them up in a style you like. You need to cooperate with top photographers and select places around the world to take photos in. You might also be invited to fashion shows of top brands and can select some of the favorite clothes.
"You have to be ‘a(chǎn)ll-round’:from hair and make up to clothes, shoes, and accessories (配飾) to the event," said He Qing, 21, a junior in fashion design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. "You have to know everything, and handle several things at the same time. It's challenging. That's why I love it."
So, remember girls, you've been warned.
【小題1】 The underlined phrase “ pay packet” (paragraph 3) means________.
A.a(chǎn) large bag | B.a(chǎn) large amount of money | C.chances | D.choices |
A.There are certain principles in dressing up models. |
B.The only attractiveness of this work is in the wonderful clothes. |
C.Only style or fashion design majors can work as a fashion stylist. |
D.A stylist knows how to make a person beautiful, from head to toe。 |
A.You have a chance to contact celebrities and dress them up in a style you like. |
B.You need to cooperate with top photographers and select places around the world to take photos in. |
C.You might also be invited to fashion shows of top brands and can select some of the favorite clothes. |
D.All of above |
A.Top brands that fashion stylists like best. |
B.Various fashion shows |
C.Difficulties that fashion stylists may meet |
