17.Not many years ago,a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England.He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.When he was seventy-five,he gave﹩60,000to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children's ground.
As a result of his kindness,he became famous.Many people came to visit him.Among them was a newspaperman.During their talk,Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred.The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five.Johnson had a sense of humor.He liked whisky and drank some each day."I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,"he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.
The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant.In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck.Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain,asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

1.Johnson became a rich man throughA.
A.doing business  
B.making whisky   
C.cheating     
D.buying and selling land

C.a(chǎn) daily injection in the evening would make him sleep well
D.there was something wrong with his neck.

分析 有錢而古怪的Johnson在他七十五歲的時(shí)候給當(dāng)?shù)匦W(xué)捐錢去購置設(shè)備和用地,他因此而出名了.然后每天都有很多人來拜訪他.當(dāng)一名記者問到他是如何保持健康的時(shí)候,他幽默的把每天喝的一杯威士忌酒說成了每晚注射的針劑,于是人們紛紛寫信尋問針劑的情況.

解答 1.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第一段 He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.可知Johnson是通過做生意成為有錢人的,答案選A.
2.D推理判斷題.根據(jù)情理可知只有善良、有愛心的人才會做慈善,給學(xué)校捐錢,而且根據(jù)文章第二段首句As a result of his kindness也可以證明他是善良的,所以D選項(xiàng)正確.
3.B推理判斷題.從文章內(nèi)容可知當(dāng)記者問Johnson如何在七十五歲的時(shí)候仍然能夠保持健康的原因時(shí),他幽默的把每天喝一杯威士忌酒說成了"I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,",由此推斷人們給他寫信問他"daily injection"的情況,實(shí)際上是問他如何才能長壽,故答案選B.
4.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,"he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky.可知當(dāng)Johnson提到"an injection in my neck"實(shí)際上是指每晚喝的威士忌酒,故答案選A.

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

8.Why must we pay taxes?The answers is that the government needs money for many things,for example to pay its soldiers,sailors and airman,to build roads,bridges,offices,schools,etc and to buy goods from abroad;and only the people of the country can supply the money.One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax,no matter he is a businessman,a doctor,a lawyer,a shopkeeper,a miner,or anything else.This is called a"direct"tax,because it is paid in money direct to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches,jewelry,new clothes,tobacco,wine,etc,when they are brought into a country,such tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops.We call it"indirect"tax,because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes,but they forget that the money is spent on the things that they and their families need.We need policeman to catch thieves,to see that men obey the laws,to direct traffic,etc,and they must be paid what they earn;children need education and there must be schools and teachers;we want our streets to be kept clean,and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid.Above all,the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies,and we cannot have an army without paying for it.
Taxes,therefore,cannot be avoided.we buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements,but there are several things that the States finds the money for,and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue.So we have to real cause to complain when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.
27.Indirect tax meansD.
A.tax that is not paid directly to the government
B.tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods
C.tax that one pays direct to the government
D.Both A and B.
28.Which of the following is right?B
A.Taxes are paid to the sellers.
B.Tax is amount of money that you have to pay to the government so that it can pay for public services.
C.Income-tax is an indirect tax.
D.The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government.
29.People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes becauseC.
A.some shopkeepers are very rich
B.they need money to buy goods from abroad.
C.the money is spent on the things that they and their families need
D.their children need education
30."Taxes cannot be a voided"meansB.
A.you do not have to pay tax on some goods
B.people have to pay taxes to the government
C.soldiers do not have to pay taxes
D.a(chǎn)ll goods have to be taxed.

12.Why do Americans try hard with watching their weight (體重),while the French,who eat rich food,continue to stay thin?Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However,Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States,Mireille Guiliano,author of French Women Don't Get Fat,decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity (肥胖率)-or  extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%.However,as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.

9.This text is mainly the relationship betweenB.
A.Americans and the French                     
B.life style and obesity
C.children and adults                                
D.fast food and overweight
10.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola?D
A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
D.They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles.
11.The text is mainly developedB.
A.by space                                     
B.by comparison
C.by process                                 
D.by classification (分類)
12.Where does this text probably come from?C
A.A TV interview (評論)               
B.A food advertisement (廣告)
C.A health report

9.Phrases like"tiger mom"and‘‘helicopter parent"have made their way into everyday language.Many of us find ourselves drawn to the idea that with just a bit more parental hard work and effort,we might turn out children with bright futures.But is there anything wrong with a kind of"overparenting style"?
Parental involvement has a long history of being studied.Many of the studies,conducted by Diana Baumrind,a famous psychologist at the University of California,Berkeley,have found that a good parent is the one who is involved and reacts to her child in a positive way,who sets high expectations but gives her child independence.These"authoritative parents"appear to hit the sweet spot of parental involvement and generally raise children who do better academically,psychologically and socially than children whose parents are not strict and less involved,or controlling and more involved.Why is this parenting style so successful?
Authoritative parents actually help improve motivation in their children.Carol Dweck,a social psychologist at Stanford University,has done research that indicates why authoritative parents raise more motivated children.In a typical experiment,Dr.Dweck takes young children into a room and asks them to solve a simple puzzle.Most do so with little difficulty.But then Dr.Dweck tells some,but not all,of the kids how clever they are.As it turns out,the children who are not told they're smart are more motivated to solve increasingly difficult puzzles.They also show higher levels of confidence and show greater progress in puzzle-solving.
As the experiment suggests,praising children's talents and abilities seems to shake their confidence.Dealing with more difficult puzzles carries the risk of losing one's status as"smart".Dr.Dweck's work strongly supports that of Dr.Baumrind,who also found that reasonably supporting a child's independence and limiting interference (干涉) causes better academic and emotional results.
The central task of growing up is to develop a sense of self that is independent and confident.If you treat your young child who is just learning to walk as if she can't walk,you reduce her confidence.Allowing children to make mistakes is one of the greatest challenges of parenting.It is easier when they are young.The potential mistakes carry greater risks,and part of being a parent is reducing risk for our children.

12.According to the passage,a"tiger mom"C.
A.helps her children realize their dreams
B.speaks her children's everyday language
C.pays close attention to her children's experiences
D.places reasonable expectations on her children
13.It is implied that controlling style of parenting mayD.
A.foster independence in children    
B.lead to children's academic success
C.face more challenges of children
D.cause more problems in children
14.The example of the children doing the puzzles suggests thatA.
A.overpraising makes children less motivated and confident
B.a(chǎn) good game plays a big role in training young minds
C.puzzle-solving can give children the motivation they need
D.bright children usually show less confidence in difficult games
15.The last paragraph tells us thatB.
A.children should correct mistakes with the help of their parents
B.parents should allow their children to learn from mistakes
C.parents should not increase the risk of challenging
D.children should not be given much freedom.
