閱讀理解

　　People who show confidence really seem to have it made．They seize more rewarding careers, keep good relationships, and just seem to do everything with more style than the rest of us．

　　So what’s their self-confidence’s secret? There isn’t one．Self-confidence is a skill and habit that anyone can learn to develop．And although people who are raised in an encouraging environment with confident role models have a head start in self-confidence development, we all can learn to become more confident at any age．

　　Try these simple tips for practicing and increasing your confidence levels：

　　Dare to fail．Anybody who’s out there bravely performing is going to fail repeatedly．If you’re not failing, you’re not trying．So don’t take failure too hard or too personally．Just learn to roll with it and use its lessons to keep improving．

　　When in doubt, pretend you know what your are doing．Because if you are confident of your abilities, by the time you have done it, you will be experienced．

　　Dress for success．You don’t have to be beautiful to be confident．Make the most of your own unique physical characters and weaken your disadvantages so that you know you’re giving out your best image．

　　Listen to be yourself．You’re the only person who knows what’s right for you．Don’t put others’ opinions above your own inner voice．

　　Build a confident vocabulary．Stop putting yourself down and give up continually blaming your tiny weaknesses．Learn to show up your strong points and the world will learn to see and celebrate them with you．

　　Pass on praise．Praise others for their virtues and strength．This practice will not decrease your confidence, but help increase it．

閱讀理解

　　For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者)．They were there all the time：early morning, noon, and evenings．There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces．“Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening．“You’ll feel great．”

　　Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could．So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more．Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I’m not alone in my opinion．

　　First of all, jogging is very hard on the body．Your legs and feet take a real pounding(追擊)running down a road for two or three miles．I developed foot, leg, and back problems．Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about．Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me．

　　Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging．Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun．Jogging is also a lonely pastime．Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts．” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt．

　　And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week; it was practically every day for two months．I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun．What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?

　　I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will．I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good．I bicycle to work when the weather is good．I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time．I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape．

(1)

From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer’s neighborhood ________．

[　　]

A．

people jogged only during the daytime

B．

jogging provided a chance to get together

C．

jogging became very popular

D．

Alex organized an army of joggers

(2)

The underlined word “them”(Paragraph 3)most probably refers to ________．

[　　]

A．

physical weaknesses

B．

heart attack

C．

back problems

D．

famous joggers

(3)

What was the writer’s attitude towards jogging in the beginning?

[　　]

A．

He was very fond of it．

B．

He felt it was worth a try．

C．

He was strongly against it．

D．

He thought it must be painful．

(4)

Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?

[　　]

A．

He was worried about being left alone．

B．

He disliked doing exercise outside．

C．

He found it neither healthy nor interesting．

D．

He was afraid of having a heart attack

(5)

From the writer's experience, we can conclude that _______．

[　　]

A．

nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit

B．

he is the only person who hates jogging

C．

jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport．

D．

not everyone enjoys jogging

科目：高中英語 來源：2013屆山東省聊城市高三第一次模擬考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Sarah came running in saying, "Look what l found. " Over the top of the paper I was reading I saw a long object that made me jump. It was a piece of snakeskin that had been shed （脫皮)  by one of our garden snakes.
'Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah.  Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (憂點(diǎn)) and excellence in the world.
"Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
"Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin.  It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn't think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did.  Like buying a new suit. "
Of course, I'm sure this explanation won't suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off.  I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
"Snakes don't peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained.  "lt happens as part of their growth. "
"I see, Dad. " said Sarah.  She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩飾) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的);  or at best,  remember the things we discard（丟掉）to teach us how we can improve.
【小題1】When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________

A．he was shocked and jumped
B．he tried to understand her point of view
C．he thought that telling the truth was a merit
D．he decided to teach her something about the garden
【小題2】How did Sarah feel about the author's explanation?
A．Confused.B．BoreciC．Satisfied.D．Excited.
【小題3】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A．By reflecting on ourselves, we can better ourselves.
B．It is necessary to force others to remove some things.
C．The community and culture force us to change.
D．It is natural to keep some old clothes.
【小題4】From the text, we can conclude that the author___________.
A．does not like nature much
B．takes the chilcl's feelings lightly
C．is both a logical and thoughtful person
D．loves to see his daughter excited about animals
【小題5】Which of the following could be the best title for the article?
A．The things we should cast offB．A shed snakeskin in Sarah's eyes
C．A natural part of our growthD．Renewal for snakes and us

選擇恰當(dāng)?shù)闹黝}句

Read the following text and choose the most suitable topic sentence from A—E for each paragraph. There is an extra one which you do not need.

A. l don’t really know my daughter，for she isn’t easy to get on with.

B. We were closest when she was about four，which I think is a wonderful age for a child.

C. I’m very pleased to have Carmen.

D. My first wife and I only had one child.

E. I’ve always wanted the best for her.

Family Matters

Oliver Darrow, actor, talks about his daughter, Carmen．

72   It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son，but we just had Carmen.

I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humour and share many interests，except that she’s crazy about animals，obsessed with them-she has always had dogs，cats，and horses in her life.

73    That’s when they need their parents most．But as soon as Carmen went to school，she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn’t talk to me for days. 

74  We sent her to a good school, but she wasn’t happy there. She left because she  wanted to become an actress. So with my connections I got her into drama school. but she didn’t like that either. She worked for a while，doing small roles in films, but she must have found it boring because she gave it up，though she never really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband’s a vet.  They must be happy because they work together. and she loves animals.

We have the same tastes in books and music，When she was younger I used to take her to the opera-that’s nay passion-but she can’t have liked it very much because she hasn’t come with me for years. I don’t think she goes to the cinema or watches TV much. She might watch my films. but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she talks to me about.

75  ．She’s a good daughter, but I don’t think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn’t visit us very often. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she’ll have a son.
