【題目】閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
C
In seventh grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first part before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas carol didn't get me any role.
Am I embarrassed? No. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it's such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science proves this theory.
Researchers have conducted numerous studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy(笨拙的) way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you're competent(有能力的) at something and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.
Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A's and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.
When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy(同情) for others than ourselves. With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life's challenges going forward.
More importantly, if you're frequently worried about looking silly, you'll never be able t o get improvement at work. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn't the end of the world. Think about it: what's the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.
(1)What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?
A.A mistake makes you more likeable.
B.An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.
C.Competent people always mess up in life.
D.It's not embarrassing to share mistakes.
(2)Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The author is proud of her work.
B.The author was once a perfectionist.
C.The author always made some mistakes.
D.The author felt ashamed of her high standards.
(3)What message can be got in the last two paragraphs?
A.Making a fool of yourself when necessary.
B.Being sensitive when it comes to forgiveness.
C.Viewing mistakes as l earning opportunities.
D.Not being afraid to face your mistakes.
(4)What does the author want to tell us in the passage?
A.It's okay to make mistakes.
B.Everyone may make mistakes.
C.It's time to forgive yourself.
D.How to forgive our mistakes.

【答案】
(1)A
(2)B
(3)C
(4)A
【解析】每一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤都會(huì)有一個(gè)教訓(xùn),如果你學(xué)會(huì)放手,寬恕自己,你將有更好的裝備來(lái)處理生活的挑戰(zhàn)。
(1)A詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段中 I think the main reason is that admitting to mistakes makes you easier to relate to. 我認(rèn)為主要的原因是承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤會(huì)讓你更容易與之協(xié)調(diào)?芍狝項(xiàng)符合題意。(2)B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句 Growing up, I was the type of student who had to get straight A's and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game.可知在成長(zhǎng)中我在告方面追求完美。B項(xiàng)符合 題意。
(3)C推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward. 每一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤都會(huì)有一個(gè)教訓(xùn),如果你學(xué)會(huì)放手,寬恕自己,你將有更好的裝備來(lái)處理生活的挑戰(zhàn)。再根據(jù)最后一段最后一句In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.在很多情況下,獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)往往大于風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。C項(xiàng)符合題意。
(4)A目的意圖題?v觀全文,特別是根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第三句With each mistake comes a lesson, and if you can learn to let go and forgive yourself, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward. 每一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤都會(huì)有一個(gè)教訓(xùn),如果你學(xué)會(huì)放手,寬恕自己,你將有更好的裝備來(lái)處理生活的挑戰(zhàn)。故選A。

【題目】閱讀理解
Most of us lead unhealthy lives;we spend far too much sitting down. If, in addition, we are careless about our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slowmoving. There are some aspects(方面)of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park, they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them.
For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports—and it is especially difficult to do so if you are not good at them—there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair.
Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sports or gymnastics, you are still only halfway to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental and physical relaxation(放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts, meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practised in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical(諷刺性的), though, that as our lives have improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity—physical effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other—which were the natural way of life of our forefathers.
(1)Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _________.
A.causes of unfitness
B.bad features of living in the city
C.the things we can completely do away with
D.unavoidable things in the city
(2)We don't get much out of separate sports because we __________.
A.don't do them very often
B.don't do them actively enough
C.find it hard to get out of our armchairs
D.don't find them interesting
(3)To be healthy, we must__________ .
A.keep fit and active
B.keep fit and learn to relax
C.be active and practise Yoga
D.have a sound mind
(4)Our forefathers were healthy because__________ .
A.their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B.they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C.they spent most of the time out of doors
D.their environment was not polluted

Last Friday, I learned a lesson about telling lies. Early in morning, I didn't want to go to school, but I pretended to feel ill. My mother was very worrying when I told her. She left quickly and I thought she has gone to work. But soon, she came back with a bottle of medicines. She said that she had asked for a day off work to look for me. I felt a little guilty but I dared not tell the true. That afternoon, my teacher came to visit to me. I felt so regretfully for telling lies. I had wasted anybody's time. Finally, I admitted I had lied and promised never to do it again.

Several years ago I was at a train station waiting in line to buy a ticket. As I stood there I saw a young man asking people for money so that he could buy his breakfast.
