My friends would say “Aliceyou look great !” or “ How did you lose so much weight? ”. Those compliments（赞扬）made me feel good and confident.Soon I dropped to 110 ponds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a presenta bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me thatitwould do serious harm to my body.By mid-June, when school was coming to an end, I was down to an only alive state of 95pounds. All of a sudden, I knew I had to do something. I guessed the number itself scared me. I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what? To make those who love me worried? Is it worthwhile to be thin?Now I realize that models in magazines, TV and movies are not realistic. The price to pay for the “perfect body” is living with the dangerous and sometimes deadly eating disorder. And there are more important things to think about than how thin you are.21. How did the author feel when she weighed 115 pounds?A. Happy. B. Disappointed. C. Worried . D. Painful.22. The authors mother went to her room to _.A. bring her some chocolates. B. tell her she missed her.C. ask her to stop dieting. D. talk about her studies.23.The author decided to stop dieting_.A. when her friends told her to do so B. when her father left some messagesC. when her weight dropped to 95 pounds D. when her mother had a talk with her24. What does the writer want to tell us?A. It is too expensive for people to lose weight.B. You will be healthy as long as you stop dieting.C. There is no model with a perfect body in real life.D. Being thin is not the most important thing in our life. BIn America, each of the states likes to promote themselves with a slogan(口号). I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is Life Elevated. Its a nod to outdoor entertainment in the high country, including the ski industry. I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt, great mountains and golden plains. The slogan there is Colorful Colorado. Years ago I lived in the Peach State of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is Land of Enchantment(魔力).We never seemed to get away from dust in New Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty breezes. She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it. The newcomer said, Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesnt it? Thats not dust, honey, the shop owner replied. Thats ENCHANTMENT.That made the problem more acceptable, or at least live with. A Hong Kong shopping center manager was informed that an escalator(自动扶梯) broke. He posted a sign to warn customers. He chose not to use the traditional Out of Order or Do Not Use warnings. Instead, his sign read, This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway. He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.And in fact there are some things, like the weather, we cant change. All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them. I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation. Finding something amusing or enjoyable of a difficulty, an irritation or a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do. Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.25The first paragraph is severed as a(n). A. prediction B. explanation C. introduction D. conclusion26How would the newcomer probably feel after hearing what the shop owner said? A. Angry B. Curious C. Nervous D. Relaxed27Whats the purpose of the writers writing the passage?A. To encourage people to find the funny side in their daily life.B. To show the effects of using slogans to raise the position.C. To explain the skills of turning a disadvantage into humor.D. To tell the strange experience of a bargain in an antique shop. CAlmost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or another. Choice, we are given to believe, is a right. But, for a good many people in the world, in rich or poor countries, choice is a luxury, something wonderful but hard to get, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false idea created by companies advertisers hoping to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to anxiety in peoples lives. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of everyday goods leads to a sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted. Recent studies in England have shown that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. More difficult decision-making is then either avoided or trusted into the hands of the professionals, lifestyle instructors, or advisors. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, but the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Advances in design and production help quicken the process .Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is computers, which are almost out-of-date once they are bought. This indeed makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk withcase into a shop and buy one thing; no choice, no anxiety.28. What is this passage mainly about? A. The variety of choices in modern society. B. The opinions on peoples right in different countries C. The Problems about the availability of everyday goods. D. The helplessness in purchasing decisions29. Why do more choices of goods give rise to anxiety? A. Professionals find it hard to decide on a suitable product. B. People are likely to find themselves overcome by business persuasion C. Shoppers may find themselves lost in the broad range of items. D. Companies and advertisers are often misleading about the rage of choice.30. What does the author try to argue in Paragraph 1? A. The exercise of rights is a luxury. B. The practice of choice is difficult. C. The right of choice is given but at a price. D. Choice and right exist at the same time.31. By using computers as an example, the author wants to prove that . A. advanced products meet the needs of people B. products of the latest design fold the market C. competitions are fierce in high-tech industry D. everyday goods need to be replaced often DThere is a scene in themovieThe Descendants and it went something like this -George Clooneys character Matt King has a daughter who may be 9 or 10. She said something bad to a girl at her school that made her cry.The mother of that girl made Matt and his daughter come to their house to apologize.“Sorry,”said his daughter very casually.She was clearly not sorry for her actions and the girls mother complained she didnt take her apology seriously.Mattshrugged(耸)his shoulders.What was he supposed to do? His daughter apologized as asked.He couldnt make her mean her words.Ialwaysthinkof this story when my daughter is asked by other adults to apologize for her wrong doings.Iknow my daughter is being taught to say“sorry”with all the best intentions.They are teaching her to be polite.But she isapologizingbecause she is being forced to please the adult or toavertpunishment.This situation has happened on a few occasions and it really bothers me.Here are three reasons whyIdont think its a good idea to teach children to say sorry: 1. My daughter is being taught to say things that are not from her heart. 2. She is being taught insincerity(不真诚) is valued over genuineness. 3. She is being taught she needs to please others to be loved.These messages make me uncomfortable andIwill not ask my children to apologize.Instead, this is whatIthink people shouldteachchildren:teach them behavior that is acceptable and to practice positive behavior.teach them how their actions affect others.give them space to think about the situation and ask them to suggest ways to make the situation better.help them make healthy choiceslead by example and show them how to fix wrong doings32. The story in Paragraph 1 mainly shows that _.A. sometimes people dont take their apology seriouslyB. The Descendants is a good film that is worth seeingC. forcing a child to apologize may not get expected resultsD. parents should punish their children fortheirmistakes33.What does the underlined word“avert”in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Suffer B. Avoid C. Deserve D. Get34.From Paragraph 3 we can learn that the author _.A. doesnt like apologizing to other people.B.doesntthinkapologizingis important to childrenC. doesnt think her daughter has done anything wrongD. thinks forcing a child to apologize has disadvantages35. According to the last paragraph, the author suggests people should _.A. teach children how to become independentB. teach children how to apologize in the correct wayC. teach children to behave well instead of forcing themD. teach children how to set a good example to others第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项For the question of how to set goals,we have a very simple process that you can go through to set your personal goals.36Identify your personal values and task statements.37If you can identity your personal values, your personal goal will not go wrong.
