試題分析：本文主要講述了一個(gè)寓言故事，講的是國(guó)王Midas過(guò)去很喜歡金子，有一天，他遇到一個(gè)仙女，仙女允許她許一個(gè)心愿，國(guó)王說(shuō)自己喜歡金子，希望所接觸到的任何東西都變成金子。到了第二天，國(guó)王實(shí)現(xiàn)了愿望，所有他接觸的所有東西，都變成了金子，國(guó)王很高興自己成為這個(gè)世界上最富有的人。然而，漸漸地卻出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題，食物和水都變成了金子，國(guó)王又餓又渴，他的女兒也變成了黃金塑像。這時(shí)仙女出現(xiàn)了，國(guó)王祈求仙女把神力帶走，仙女告訴國(guó)王這是一個(gè)教訓(xùn)，然后叫國(guó)王去河邊洗澡，國(guó)王趕緊洗掉了神力。

【1】理解題。由全文可知，國(guó)王在實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的愿望，擁有神力，讓所有接觸到的神力都轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)榻鹱又�，并不開(kāi)心，因?yàn)樯畛霈F(xiàn)混亂，所以擁有金子并不是最好的，而這對(duì)于國(guó)王來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)教訓(xùn)，因此，仙女是想讓國(guó)王學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)教訓(xùn)。故選C。

【2】理解題。當(dāng)所有的食物和水都變成金子的時(shí)候，國(guó)王又餓又渴，所以國(guó)王有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心。故選C。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)題。由第四自然段she asked, putting her arms around him. There and then she became a golden statue.意思是：她問(wèn)道，把胳膊放在他身上。之后她變成了一個(gè)黃金塑像。故選C。

【4】推斷題。由倒數(shù)第二自然段的最后一句Go and wash in the river. Then the golden touch will be gone.”意思是：去河里洗澡。然后黃金接觸就會(huì)消失的。由此可知當(dāng)國(guó)王去河里洗完之后，他的女兒就會(huì)變回原來(lái)的樣子，而國(guó)王之間接觸的東西也都會(huì)變回原樣。故選D。

【5】主旨推斷題。文章通過(guò)這個(gè)寓言故事，講述了一個(gè)道理，僅僅擁有金錢(qián)也不會(huì)讓人開(kāi)心，因此告訴人們，金錢(qián)不是會(huì)讓生活開(kāi)心的東西。故選C。

【題目】My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹣跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.

The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.

After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Here is the truth of the story:

Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.

I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.

In the song “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage. At one point he sings, “And if we try to leave, may God send angels to guard the door.”

【2】From paragraph 2, we know that_______________________.

A. the dog didn’t go with the writer

B. the writer had his own pet dog

C. the dog belonged to one of the couple’s friend

D. the dog didn’t eat any of the food

【3】The underlined part “our problem” in the passage refers to the fact that .

A. the writer didn’t want to take Julie’s advice

B. an old black dog appeared in front of them

C. Julie disagreed with the writer’s travel on business

D. the couple had some trouble with their marriage

【4】 We can infer from the passage that ___________________.

下面是幾則寓言小故事：

【1】 An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the bird catcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.

【2】Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. ―He gave me this advice, his companion replied. ―Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.

【3】 A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.

【4】 A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! Ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. ―You may be a treasure, signed the cock, ―to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.

【5】 An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. ―Untie it, said the father, ―and each of you take a stick. When they had done so, he called out to them: ―Now, break, and each stick was easily broken.

【題目】Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationship with ourselves?

Here are some tips:

1. Forgive yourself

You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.

2. Focus on your strengths

Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.

3. Stop comparing yourself with others

You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.

【1】________________

Whatever you focus on, you tend to get more of. Many people spend time thinking about what they don’t want, but horrible stuff keeps showing up in their lives. If you pay attention to what you do want instead, you’ll end up becoming more aware of avenues to getting it.

【2】_______________

Luck doesn’t just happen upon us--it comes to us when we’re open. Trying something new is a great way of getting more opportunities. Learning a new skill, visiting a new place, or trying a new hobby are all great ways of expanding your opportunities and your mindset.

【3】_______________

Some people are already lucky, and they just don’t know it. Instead of focusing on what’s lacking, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends, family, a roof over your head and food on the table. By acknowledging these things regularly, you can instantly feel more lucky.

【4】_______________

People who view the future as threatening, dangerous or uncertain are unlikely to draw any luck to them. Having a negative view of what is to come makes you likely to be mentally and emotionally withdrawn into a place where you won’t even see any lucky opportunities. Be positive and excited about what the future may hold, and you should find many lucky opportunities on the horizon.

【5】________________

You’ll never create any luck if you sit there waiting for it to fall into your lap. Take steps towards your goals and dreams and greet every challenge with a positive mindset. You will find you create more luck in everyday life.

A. focus on what you really want

B. pay attention to what you have

C. try something new

D. take action
