題目列表(包括答案和解析)

以下是某個(gè)英語雜志有關(guān)專家對(duì)一些讀者反映問題的建議:

A. Feel Grateful!

You say you’re thankful, but then dismiss your mom’s investment as an “obligation”. By today’s economic standards, what she did is virtually miraculous. Tell your mom plainly, over and over again, how grateful you are. I’m sure the complaining will begin to fade.

B. Tame the beast!

    When one boy discovers his inner caveman, he likes to initiate others into the tribe. Don’t over-worry. Boys will be boys. You and your husband should meet the boy’s parents down the street, suggesting a plan to either tame the wild beasts or limit their time together.

C. Good effort and goodwill makes it!

    Maybe there was a reason why your buddy was out of work. He’s taking advantage of you and your employer. Remind him how to act on the job. He owes good effort and goodwill if he accepts the pay. Tell him to be quiet or get away.

D. Calm down!

    Fast vehicles and wild people---sounds like adolescent dreams to me. As some men age, they compensate with bigger, faster toys. But he’s putting you at risk and breaking the law. In a calm moment outside the car, tell him that he is scaring you. Suggest he join a car club, one that promotes safe driving.

E. Move your line away!

    You say you’re “in the middle”, but I’d say you’re dangerously close to slipping off the edge. There are lots of fish in the sea; why drop your line in waters your friend is still fishing?

F. Speak out and breathe easily together!

    You are rebuilding a relationship with new trust and affection. If there’s a bad odor left from the old day, you need to clear the air. Mention the problem, and say, “I’m sorry for my part in that argument.” I’ll bet she’ll say the same.

以下是一些讀者在生活中反映的問題。請(qǐng)匹配問題及對(duì)應(yīng)的建議。

56. Allan: My friend Jim was out of work and I helped him find a job in my company. But recently I have found he is very lazy and doesn’t do his work well. Besides, he often tells me that our employer is too bad.

57. Mary: Cathy and I were good friends. But two years ago she moved and left me because we had an argument. Now I hear she has come back to this town and lives about a mile away. I hope to visit this old friend, but I really don’t know what to do.

58. Mrs. Green: My eight-year-old son used to be obedient. But recently he’s become wild and crazy like a barbarian and doesn’t want to stay at home. My husband and I get worried. Now I find he likes to play with another boy who is also a barbarian.

59. Mike: I live with my mother, who works night and day so that she can support my schooling. I’m grateful but sometimes I get even more annoyed because she seems to be always unsatisfied with me and complains about my faults.

60. Eileen: My friend Jim is a helpful young man, and he has taken me downtown in his car several times. But every time he drove his car so crazily that I felt horrible. “I’ve got used to driving fast,” he says.

Dear Deidre,

I am 17. Further education is not for me. I want to be out seeing the world in the army. My mum and dad say they will cut me off and have nothing to do with me if I go into the military. They have other plans for me. My friends all laugh at me and say I won’t ever get on. I know I am not the fittest guy in the world but I thought that would come with the training. I am now asking myself if I should just give up my lifelong ambitions and get the sort of job my parents approve of. I don’t want to look back with regrets but sometimes I think maybe they are right and know more than me.

Samson

Dear Samson,

It’s your life and your future.

Your parents mean well, and may be fearful of what could happen to you if you are posted to a danger zone, but you must decide this by yourself.

At least talk to an army recruitment office about what is involved and about how fit you need to be. Do your research. Find out everything you can about what choices you will have. Then go for it. Start a sensible eating and exercise plan right away. If you are motivated you can get reasonably fit in a few weeks. Tell your parents and friends you want to give it a try. If you still feel it’s right for you, then apply. If it isn’t for you, at least you won’t regret for the rest of your life. Parents and friends may say, “I told you so”, but you will know that you’ve followed your dream and made up your own mind about the sort of career for you.

Talk to At East which is an independent and confidential organization providing advice and support for those who are in the military and those who would like to be. They can explain when you are allowed to leave and how much attention you have to give.

Deidre

56. Why do Samson’s friends laugh at him?

A. He has no independent opinion    B. He can’t break away from his parents.

C. He is not fit enough to join the army   D. He is in trouble now.

57. According to Deidre, Samson’s parents wouldn’t like him to join the army because _______.

A. they thought it may not be safe  B. they wanted their son to stay with them

C. they know he was not fit enough  D. they believed he would regret doing so

58. It can be inferred from the first letter that Samson is _______.

A. puzzled now                     B. an independent guy

C. disappointed with his parents   D. not popular with his friends

59. The advice that Deidre offers to Samson doesn’t include __________.

A. seeking some advice from an army recruitment office

B. deciding his life and future by himself

C. consulting At Ease on what to do

D. turning his dream of joining the army into reality

60. If the two letters are taken from a newspaper, which part may they appear?

A. Helping   B. Education   C. Military   D. News

While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal(一向節(jié)儉的)Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.
【小題1】What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?

A.To request a wage increase from his boss.
B.To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.
C.To celebrate his success with his wife at home.
D.To ask his boss to come for dinner.
【小題2】On his way back home, Andrew _________.
A.felt weak in the knees
B.was punished by the traffic policeman
C.was too anxious to share the news
D.couldn’t wait to enjoy a meal
【小題3】Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?
A.Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.
B.Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.
C.Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.
D.One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.
【小題4】Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?
A.She was confident of his getting a pay raise.
B.She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.
C.She believed that her husband was the best in his company.
D.She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.
【小題5】We can conclude from the text that ______.
A.we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us
B.work hard and you will be rewarded
C.many fears turn out to be unfounded
D.unconditional love brings courage and strength
