What sounds or impressions are you making on the people around you? Think about it. Your words, phrases, even your message may soon be forgotten but believe me, good or   1   , your melody music.

An odd choice of phrase? Not really. The dictionary   2   melody? as a succession of sounds, and what is life other than the combining and blending of a succession of movements and sounds.

Just as a musical composition affects the moods and emotions of people who hear it, so too does the way you live your   3   .

Think of your life as a   4   sheet of manuscript paper. Only the rhythm is there ------it is    5   to you to create the harmony. Naturally you will want your composition to be a   6   , a chart buster' even a Symphony - something to be remembered with pleasure.

So where to   7   ? YOU MUST BEGIN WITH YOURSELF. Have the right   8   , enjoy life, - and most importantly, be optimistic about the future.

Be really   9   in other people. Make a conscience effort to bring peace and happiness into other people's lives.

  10   situations that generate excessive ambition, envy, anger

and pride. They are all   11   of peace and will play ruin with your harmony.

  12   has been said that if these emotions or feelings were forgotten, the world would live in permanent peace. Well, to banish（消除） them from the world is probably aiming a bit high but it shouldn't be too   13   to rid them from your own life.

Develop features such as smart, social, and sensitivity. These attributes are invaluable in enhancing not only your own life but the lives of those around you.

Everything you do has an   14   on those around you. The way you move, whether you   15   or frown. You are capable of making someone's day bright or miserable.

Take time to    16    other people. If there are too many discords & not enough harmony in their lives,   17   them to have a brighter outlook.

Throughout the world most people are striving for   18   .

From the family unit   19   around the dinner table to world leaders at the conference table, the name of the game is the pursuit of peace.

So, let us all play our part in composing the rhythm of life by consciously choosing peace and harmony in our daily lives to   20   a harmonious Universe.

1-20 CACAD BDACC ABCDA BABCA


解析:

本文說明的是快樂交際，幸福生活。完成本文要結(jié)合生活實(shí)際。

1. C無論好壞，前面是good，后面自然是Bad，壞，而不是wrong:錯(cuò),harmful：有害。

2. A 字典對(duì)這個(gè)詞的定義是動(dòng)聽的聲音，define：定義，think:認(rèn)為，regard：認(rèn)為，act：扮演。

3. C live one’s life 是固定結(jié)構(gòu)，意思是：過……的生活。

4. A 稿紙自然是空白的，也就是blank, used：舊的，full:滿的，deserted:拋棄的，這些不合適。

5. D你生活的曲調(diào)就取決于你的行為。取決于，就是be up to sb.，準(zhǔn)備好（ready）,決定（decide）,可能（possible），不合適宜

6. B 實(shí)際上你想讓自己表現(xiàn)得很好。表現(xiàn)的好，就是成功的人士，故success，而不是失敗（failure），模特（model）,和一團(tuán)糟（mess）.

7. D 既然出現(xiàn)了問題，要解決問題，從哪開始（begin: 開始）呢？，do:行動(dòng)，做，write：寫， make：制作，明顯不行。

8. A 后面無論是享受，還是樂觀，都是對(duì)生活的態(tài)度：attitude，類型：type，情緒:mood，觀點(diǎn):opinion,都不合適。

9. C 有交往就得對(duì)別人感興趣（interested），而不是熱烈的：enthusiastic,太強(qiáng)烈了，mild: 溫和的，太柔了，cautious：小心的，就更不合適了。

10. C 后面的驕傲，嫉妒等等都是負(fù)面情緒，當(dāng)然得避免（avoid）了,而不是choose：選擇，discover：發(fā)現(xiàn)，design：設(shè)計(jì)。

11. A 上述的那些不良情緒都是你和人相處的大敵（enemy），而不是朋友（friends），條件（condition），更不是幫助（help）。

12. B據(jù)說如果人類消除了這些情緒，世界就會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)和平。It be said that +主語從句：據(jù)說，別的無法構(gòu)成這樣的句型。

13. C避免這些情緒應(yīng)該不會(huì)太難（difficult），而不是easy ：容易，willing：自愿，terrifying：令人害怕。

14. D你做的每件事都會(huì)在周圍人有影響（have an effect on）,而不是effort：努力，mark：記號(hào)，damage：損害。

15. A是喜笑顏開（smile）還是怒氣沖沖？都會(huì)影響到別人是開心還是難過，cry：哭喊，shout：大叫，talk：談話，顯得不行。

16. B 花些時(shí)間去傾聽（listen to ），而不是攻擊（attack），改變（change），采訪（interview）。

17. A如果他們的生活中有太多的矛盾和別扭，鼓勵(lì)（encourage）他們用樂觀的態(tài)度去面對(duì)，根本不是打�。╠efeat），培訓(xùn)（train），停止（stop）。

18. B 全世界大多數(shù)人都在為和平（peace）而奮斗，而不是為了戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)（war），爭(zhēng)斗（fight），談判（talk）。

19. C 無論是一家人圍坐（seated）在飯桌前，還是國家級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人圍坐著會(huì)議桌前，他們的目的是一樣的——追求和平，總不能被安排（arranged），被達(dá)到（reached），被裝上（loaded）吧。

20. A所以，讓我們每個(gè)人拿和平，和諧為基調(diào)來開創(chuàng)（create）我們的生活樂章吧！像發(fā)明（invent），尋找（seek），保護(hù)（protect）等等明顯不行。

Do you know what really troubles me? For some reason, words with silent letters have always bothered me. For example, consider these words: know, design, island, school, wrist, naughty, and salmon. All of these words have at least one letter that is not typically pronounced, and these words are just a very small part of words with silent letters in them.

   Some words are even worse, consider this word: colonel. Not only are some letters not pronounced, but letters that are not even there are pronounced.

   Even foreign languages, especially French, are guilty of this needless complexity and confusion. I know there must be some main historical reasons why the words are spelled and pronounced the way they are, but that does not mean bad traditions must continue to survive. Especially if they are no longer logical.

   Unfortunately, there is very little that anyone can do for it, because there’s no group of people who can change or have the right to change the English language for everyone. However, the only thing we can do is make changes in the way we talk and write in hopes that it catches on. For example, I pronounce the letter “l(fā)” in salmon on purpose to make people annoyed and to sound more different or complicated. I even pronounce colonel the correct or French way.

   I can only hope these two minor changes to the English language make sense to you, and you will help to keep up these minor changes forever in your everyday life.

We can learn from the passage ________.

   A. colonel is pronounced   

B. salmon is pronounced

   C. all the words with silent letters come from French

   D. linguists will solve the problem of dumb letters

Which of the following is the main reason for silent letters?

   A. French language.   B. Historical reasons.  C. Some linguists  D. Bad traditions.

The underlined phrase “catches on” probably means “________”.

   A. becomes popular   B. gets across   C. follows the fashion  D. doesn’t fall behind

Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

   A. Troubles in everyday life            B. Traps in English words

   C. Words with silent letters            D. Necessary changes of languages

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年湖北省荊門市高二上學(xué)期期末教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè)英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and cannot focus on our schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem(自尊) is the key to success.Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can make people less likeable or more upset when they fail in something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange. After all, feeling good can be good for you.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
However, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said:“ There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos(自我) that can make them less likeable, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, VOhs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail in something, try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy(藥方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’ m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
【小題1】What does the underlined part “on top of the world” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Quite helpful.B．Extremely happy.C．Very unlucky.D．Rather upset.
【小題2】The conclusion drawn from the new research shows that high self-esteem_____.
A．is not important at allB．makes people more likeable
C．may not be the key to successD．helps you do better at school
【小題3】Which of the following is TRUE according to Vohs?
A．Feeling good doesn’t mean you lead a happy life.
B．People with high self-esteem always seek others’ help.
C．People with high self-esteem tend to be selfish.
D．People with low self-esteem are often more popular.
【小題4】We can infer from the text that the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people_____.
A．with high self-esteemB．with low self-esteem
C．who contribute significantly to societyD．who are in need of support

I'm fat. I'm too skinny. I'd be happy if I were taller, shorter, had curly hair, straight hair, a smaller nose, bigger muscles, longer legs. Do any of these statements sound familiar? Do you often put yourself down? If so, you're not alone. As a teen, you're going through a ton of changes in your body. And as your body changes, so does your image (形象) of yourself. Lots of people have trouble getting used to it and this can affect their confidence.
Some people think they need to change how they look or act to feel good about themselves. But actually all you need to do is change the way you see your body and how you think about yourself.
The first thing to do is recognize that your body is your own, no matter what shape, size, or color it comes in. If you're very worried about your weight or size, go to your doctor to check that things are OK. But it's no one's business but your own what your body is like-finally, you have to be happy with yourself.Next, find which aspects of your appearance you can change and which you can't change and need to accept-like their height, for example, or their shoe size.
If there are things about yourself that you want to change and can do this by making goals for yourself. For example, if you want to get fit, make a pan to exercise every day and eat nutritious foods.
When you hear negative comments coming from within yourself, tell yourself to stop. Try building your confidence by listing three things in your day that really gave you pleasure. It can be anything like the way the sun felt on your face, the sound of your favorite band, or the way someone laughed at your jokes.
【小題1】. From the first paragraph, we can infer that _________.

A．most teens like to have a special body image
B．many teens can't accept their body change easily
C．teens prefer to change their body image quickly
D．teens usually change their opinions on their body image

A．Realize you can't change everything about yourself.
B．Change the way other people look at you.
C．Go to your doctor for advice on how to change your body.
D．Learn from some celebrities on how to change your body.
【小題3】. The underlined phrase "put yourself down" in the first paragraph probably means_____.
A．make yourself fall down B．say negative things about yourself
C．force yourself to do something D．write down your name somewhere
【小題4】. The passage is mainly about_______.
A．how to adjust to the changes of your body
B．how to build confidence by changing your body

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔隊(duì)) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小報(bào)) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed
Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
【小題1】It can be learned from the passage that stars today___.

A．a(chǎn)re often misunderstood by the public
B．can no longer have their privacy protected
C．spend too much on their public appearance
D．care little about how they have come into fame
【小題2】What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
【小題3】 What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A．Availability of modern media. B．Inadequate social recognition.
C．Lack of favorable chances.D．Huge population of fans.
【小題4】What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A．Sincere.B．Sceptical.C．Disapproving.D．Sympathetic.
