【題目】 Personality is, to large extent, inherent --A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children.

One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying，"Rejoice, we conquer!".

By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.

Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into Bs. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.

【1】 According to the author, what factors contribute to the building of personality?

A. Inheritance.

B. environment .

C. Competition.

D. inheritance, competition and environment.

【2】 The phrase "soak up" is closest in meaning to _____.

A. pull up B. take up C. take in D. pull in

【3】 What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?

A. positive B. negative C. doubtful D. neutral

【4】What suggestion does the author make concerning the management of schools?

A. All students be made into competitive A types.

B. A child's personality be considered in regard to his possible future job.

C. All students be changed into B characteristics.

D. Schools abolish all forms of examinations.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】C

【3】C

【4】B

試題分析：本文講述了性格形成的影響因素，學(xué)校對(duì)學(xué)生性格的形成有很大的作用，此外作者給學(xué)校管理提出了一些建議。

【1】D推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的描述：性格在很大程度上是先天形成的-A型性格的父母會(huì)有A型性格的子女。但環(huán)境也一定對(duì)其有深刻的影響，因?yàn)槿绻?jìng)爭(zhēng)對(duì)父母來(lái)說(shuō)很重要的話(huà)，那它也可能成為孩子生活中的一個(gè)重要因素，可知遺傳、競(jìng)爭(zhēng)和環(huán)境都對(duì)性格的形成有影響，故選D。

【2】C詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第二段的描述，可知第一句的含義是“讓孩子吸收A型性格的一個(gè)地方是學(xué)校�！惫蕜澗�的短語(yǔ)是“吸收”的意思，故選C。

【3】C觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第三段The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable,（通過(guò)考試來(lái)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)這種做法的好處本身有點(diǎn)值得懷疑），可知作者對(duì)于考試是持懷疑態(tài)度的。A.積極的；B.消極的；C.懷疑的；D.中立的。故選C。

【4】B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章最后的描述The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.（這個(gè)世界需要各種性格的人，一個(gè)重要職責(zé)是使孩子的性格適合將來(lái)可能從事的工作。這才是最好的管理理念），可知B選項(xiàng)就是作者給學(xué)校管理提出的建議。

【題目】閱讀理解。

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(維生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.

The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.

Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.

Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.

【1】What did the author think of her winter life in New York?

A. Exciting. B. Boring.

C. Relaxing. D. Annoying.

【2】What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile?

A. Having a swim.

B. Breathing in fresh air.

C. Walking in the morning sun.

D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.

【3】What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?

A. They are soft. B. They look nice.

C. They taste great D. They are juicy.

【4】What was the author going to that evening?

A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel.

C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegatables.

Four ways to Improve Your Memory

Have you ever imagined the benefits that a good memory can bring to you? Being able to remember important pieces of information can give you a powerful advantage in your life.【1】. Here are four ways to improve your memory:

Make the most of your imagination. 【2】For example, to remember where you have left your car keys, pretend to hold a camera to your eyes, focus on the scene, and click the image into your memory when you are leaving. This technique works with almost everything you want to remember, as the roll of films in your mind is endless.

Try to practice. There are lots of ways to do this: try to remember which day of the week your last birthday was. 【3】 Try to remember all the ping-pong finalists and the winner. If you can try to remember the scores as well, it would be even better to practice. It won’t be long before your daily practice pays off, making your mind sharper and more adaptable.

Get physical exercise. Physical exercise not only improves memory but also helps you think faster. A combination of mental and physical activity can protect your memory. It is known that the brain’s processing speed gradually slows as you age. 【4】_

【5】_Mental exercises are as important as physical ones to keep one’s brain power. Take up word games like crossword puzzles. Memorize favorite poems and read challenging books or articles that encourage you to expand your interests. Any activity that requires you to think and concentrate will challenge your brain. And your brain will develop better on the challenge.

A. Exercise your brain.

B. Play more games.

C. Fortunately, staying physically fit can avoid some of the effects of age on the brain.

D. In fact, the ability to remember things is necessary to your success.

E. Then extend this to the birthdays of all your family members.

F. An easy way to remember something is to “take a picture”.

G. If you are right-handed , try to brush your teeth with your left hand.

【題目】In 1997, I found myself in a situation I never thought I'd be in: alone and begging for money in New York. My father had been separated from our family, and my mother had recently died from complications related to AIDS. What I remember most about such nights is lying on the cold marble floor and using my backpack for a pillow.

Even though I had lost my family, I made choices every single day to turn my life around. There was the haven for homeless teenagers called the Door, a non-profit organization that provided me with guidance, medical care and food, all of which kept me going while I completed my homework in train stations and under hallway lights. Perhaps the most surprising help though, I did not seek out it found me. The New York Times told my story. In the weeks that followed, dozens of strangers reached out to me from all across the United States. At my high school, I began receiving handwritten letters of encouragement. Strangers showed up bearing clothes, books, and even hugs. Since the article mentioned I was applying to Harvard, one woman knitted a blanket for me. She attached this note to the box it was posted in: "It gets cold in those dorms. May you warm yourself knowing that people care about you".

With the help of these people, my life today bears no resemblance at all to my life then. I graduated not only from high school but also from Harvard University.

Before these people — some of them nameless — I just didn't realize how good people could be. But now I do, and I can say that the people who helped me have forever changed me. They are the reason behind my decision to join the board at the Door so that I can be part of a small team of people opening a high school for homeless teenagers. They are the reason I dedicate my life to opening pathways for others. And they are the reason I travel around the world helping people transform their own lives.

【1】According to the passage, the author ________.

A. tried to change her life

B. often slept in friends’ homes

C. felt lonely because of her illness

D. felt quite desperate for her father

【2】What can we learn about the Door?

A. It is an organization helping homeless teenagers.

B. It is an organization seeking profits.

C. It provides entertainment for children.

D. It reports the stories about the homeless.

【3】Which of the following is the correct order to describe the author's life?

a. The newspaper reported her story.

b. She graduated from Harvard University.

c. She slept on the cold floor at night.

d. She joined the committee at the Door.

e. Her mother died from the illness.

A. d→e→c→a→b B. e→c→d→a→b

C. e→c→a→b→d D. b→c→d→e→a

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Patience is a virtue.

B. Love can be passed on.

C. Time waits for no man.

D. Honesty leads to success.
