解析試題分析:本文介紹著名影星Audrey Hepburn(奧黛麗·赫本)的生平事跡。1953年主演的《羅馬假日》使她一舉成名。從1989年直至1993年去世,赫本一直擔(dān)任聯(lián)合國兒童基金會(huì)的特使,為拉美和非洲兒童提供了很大幫助。
【小題1】推理判斷題。此題應(yīng)根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容來判斷。第一段是全文的概括,其重心在后面,即奧黛麗·赫本盡管獲得奧斯卡最佳女主角獎(jiǎng),但她擔(dān)當(dāng)?shù)脑ぷ魍瑯邮谷算懹洝T俳Y(jié)合文章接下來的敘述可知答案為D。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks”可知在荷蘭比較安全,C項(xiàng)正確。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段和第三段前半部分可知,A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第三段中“she realized she wasn’t going to be a ballerina”可知是她主動(dòng)放棄的,C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第四段中“In 1951 she played the character‘Gigi’in the Broadway play”及后文可判斷,這個(gè)角色并不是她扮演的最有名的角色,因此D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。由文章第三段的But it was Audrey Hepburn’s move to America that brought her true fame ,In 1951 she played the character“Gigi”in the Broadway play of the same name to great critical praise,可知她在20世紀(jì)50年代在美國生活,B項(xiàng)正確。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題?梢赃\(yùn)用排除法。她的婚姻、身份和貢獻(xiàn)在文章中都提到了,唯獨(dú)沒有提及她的宗教信仰,故選D。

There are stories about two US Presidents,Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren,which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don't know if either story is true,but they are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact,he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson,he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write “all correct” on it. The problem was that he didn't know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while,he shortened that term to “OK”.
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born,Kinderhook,New York. Van Buren's friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club,and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.
【小題1】The author ________.
A.believes both of the stories |
B.doesn't believe a word of the stories |
C.is not sure whether the stories are true |
D.is telling the stories just for fun |
A.couldn't draw up any documents at all |
B.wasn't good at reading,writing or spelling |
C. often had his assistants sign documents for him |
D.didn't like to read important papers by himself |
A.was approved of by President Jackson |
B.was the title of some official documents |
C.was first used by President Jackson |
D.was an old way to spell “all correct” |
A.was the short way to say “Old Kinderhook Club” |

Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured.The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.Was this the family of the little boy?

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her three-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy.
The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen. But complications arise during delivery. Finally, Michael's little sister is born. But she is in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital.
The little girl gets worse. The doctor tells the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they plan a funeral.
Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he says. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen makes up her mind. She will take Michael whether they like it or not. “If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU. The head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, "Get that kid out of here now! " The mother, the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!" Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he begins to sing.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”
Instantly the baby girl responds. The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.
"You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away "
The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr.
Keep on singing, Michael. Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.

Isn’t it cool to surf (沖浪) in summer? You catch a wave and enjoy the ride. Surfing is not only our favorite sport, though. A group of penguins (企鵝) enjoy the sport as much as we do. And they show their excitement and skills in the new animated film —Surf`s Up, which came out on June 6, in the US.
Cody loves the sport. Cody’s idol (偶像) is Big Z, a great penguin surfing king. Cody doesn’t like his brother and his mother who are not supportive. He really wants to get away.

Fourteen – year – old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.
The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “I couldn’t be thinking about how many mistakes I’d make — it would distract me from playing,” he says. “I didn’t even remember trying to impress people while I played. It’s almost as if they weren’t there. I just wanted to make music.”
Hawley is a winner. But he didn’t become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.
“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. “The important thing in life is not the triumph (勝利) but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.”
A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr. Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. “They are interested in winning, but they are most interested in self - development, testing their limits.”
One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’ve had and how much they’ve learned from each. “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says. “They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’.”
A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree.
“The worst thing you can do if you’ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a long depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.” Garfield believes that most people don’t give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you’ve done on the way to a goal.
【小題1】Hawley won the contest because ________.
A.he put all his mind to his performance |
B.he cared much about the judges’ feelings |
C.he tried his best to avoid making mistakes |
D.he paid close attention to the people around |
A.challenging their own limits | B.learning from others |
C.defeating their opponents | D.a(chǎn)voiding setbacks |
A.helps people deal with their disappointment |
B.makes people forget their setbacks |
C.makes people regret about their past |
D.helps people analyze what went wrong |
