10.A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.
The unpunctual man,on one hand,never does what he has to do at the proper time.He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name.A lost thing may be found again,but lost time can never be regained.Time is more valuable than material things.In fact,time is life itself.The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (財(cái)產(chǎn)) as well as others'.The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters,or return calls or keep appointments promptly.But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it.He knows that he can not get through his huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.
Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others.If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time,he keeps all the other guests waiting for him.Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.
Unpunctuality,moreover,is very harmful when it comes to do one's duty,whether it is public or private.Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time.A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted.

56.If one is not punctual,it is the sign that heshows no or little respect for other people..
57.According to the passage,what is the main reason that a person is always unpunctual?The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time.
/Because he always mismanages and wastes his time.
58.When should you show up if invited to dinner?at the appointed time/earlier than the appointed time/on time/no later than the appointed time
59.Based on the passage,when you have something urgent to do and need some help,you should turn to those who arepunctual/punctual people..

分析 赴約時(shí)不準(zhǔn)時(shí)不僅是對他人的不尊重,而且也是浪費(fèi)自己的時(shí)間;做一個(gè)守時(shí)和被人信任的人吧!

解答 56題答案:shows no or little respect for other people.
解析:根據(jù)文章第三段的Failure to be punctual in keeping one's appointments is the sign of disrespect towards others.(赴約的時(shí)候沒能準(zhǔn)時(shí)是對他人不尊重的表現(xiàn))及題目要求可知本題答案為:shows no or little respect for other people.
57題答案:The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time./Because he always mismanages and wastes his time.
解析:根據(jù)文章第二段的The unpunctual man is forever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset (財(cái)產(chǎn)) as well as others.(不準(zhǔn)時(shí)的人永遠(yuǎn)都在浪費(fèi)和管理不善他自己的和別人的最寶貴的財(cái)產(chǎn)--時(shí)間)及題目要求可知本題答案有兩個(gè):The main reason is that he always mismanages and wastes his time./Because he always mismanages and wastes his time.
58題答案:at the appointed time/earlier than the appointed time/on time/no later than the appointed time.
解析:根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time,he keeps all the other guests waiting for him.(如果一個(gè)人被邀請去參加晚宴,而到達(dá)的時(shí)間要比指定的時(shí)間晚那么他就使其他所有的客人在等他)可知"如果被邀請去參加晚宴,應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)時(shí)或在指定時(shí)間之前到達(dá)",結(jié)合題目要求可知本題答案為:at the appointed time/earlier than the appointed time/on time/no later than the appointed time.
59題答案:punctual/punctual people.
解析:根據(jù)最后一段的A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted.(一個(gè)習(xí)慣性不準(zhǔn)時(shí)出了名的人從來都不會被信任)及題目要求可知本題答案為:punctual/punctual people.

點(diǎn)評 本文是一篇閱讀表達(dá),題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合題目要求做出正確答案.

15.MOOC (massive open online courses)is a quite new way for people to learn the subject that they are interest in.But you may find yourself unable to use it if the browser of your computer is not the right one,such as Internet Explorer 8 or Windows XP,because support for Internet Explorer 8 and Windows XP has ended.Then you may ask why.Well,IE 8 is 12 years old-that's pretty old for an operating system.
In the past 12 years you've probably gotten a new phone,maybe a new TV,and possibly even a new car.Maybe it's time for a new PC too,so you can make sure you have more memory and storage,faster processing speeds,and a higher-quality display (some even come with touch).And they're less expensive than you might think.
We support our older operating systems much longer than most other businesses in this industry,but we can't keep supporting old operating systems and still move forward creating new and better products.We've been supporting Windows XP for the past 12 years-that's longer than we've supported any other operating system in our history and already two years longer than the standard ten years of support we normally provide.It's time for us to look ahead so we can create better products and services for you and all our customers.
We encourage you to learn more here about what end of support means,but in the end you have two options:
Option 1:Keep using Windows XP-unprotected
Option 2:Start using Windows 8.1
If you don't like the idea of your data and personal information being hacked,consider moving to Windows 8.1.
 
(Answer each question in no more than ten words)
56.You may have no access to MOOC if your browseris not the right one.
57.List any two of the benefits that the new personal computer can bring to youmore memory and storage;faster processing speeds;a higher-quality display;less expensive(隨便選擇兩個(gè)即可)
58.What's the task that the writer thinks their company should do for the readers of this passage?
creating better products and services
59.Why does the writer suggest that you download and install Windows 8.1?So that tourdata and personal informationwon't behacked.

20.I had worried myself sick over Simon's mother coming to see me.I was a new teacher,and I gave an honest account of the students'work.In Simon's case,the grades were awfully low.He couldn't read his own handwriting.But he was a bright student.He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult comprehension.His work in no way reflected his abilities.
So when Simon's mother entered the room,my palms (手掌心) were sweating.I was completely unprepared for her kisses on both my cheeks."I came to thank you,"she said,surprising me beyond speech.Because of me,Simon had become a different person.He talked of how he loved me,he had begun to make friends,and for the first time in his twelve years,he had recently spent an afternoon at a friend's house.She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the self-respect I had developed in her son.She kissed me again and left.
I sat,stunned,for about half an hour,wondering what had just happened.How did I make such a life changing difference to that boy without even knowing it?What I finally came to remember was one day,several months before,when some students were giving reports in the front of the class,Jeanne spoke quietly,and to encourage her to raise her voice,I had said,"Speak up.Simon's the expert on this.He is the only one you have to convince,and he can't hear you in the back of the room."That was it.From that day on,Simon had sat up straighter,paid more attention,smiled more,and became happy.And it was all because he happened to be the last kid in the last row.The boy who most needed praise was the one who took the last seat that day.
It taught me the most valuable lesson over the years of my teaching career,and I'm thankful that it came early and positively.A small kindness can indeed make a difference.
26.We can infer that when Simon's mother entered the room,the writer feltB.
A.satisfied  
B.nervous 
C.happy    
D.surprised
27.The following words can be used to describe Simon before he met the writer exceptC.
A.unconfident 
B.lonely
C.outgoing    
D.clever
28.What the teacher said in paragraph 3is intended toA.
A.encourage Jeanne to speak louder   
B.encourage Simon to work hard
C.a(chǎn)sk Jeanne to convince Simon      
D.tell the students that Simon was expert on that
29.The purpose of the passage is toD.
A.tell the story of Simon  
B.tell teachers how to be kind to students
C.a(chǎn)dvise the readers to be kind to others
D.share a valuable lesson with readers.
