her front yard. her dad had planted it for her when it was nothing more than a twig and several years later it started to shoot towards the sky with amazing speed. soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious, golden leaves in the fall.when the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the trees branches that were still full of leaves. the weight split (劈叉) that lovely tree down the middle. it was so sad seeing half of it laying on the ground after the storm. when i talked to my neighbor later, she said that the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down. thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump(树桩) in her front yard. i missed that tree. i missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. i missed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. i thought that the stump would be a sad reminder of its loss for a long time to come. my wonderful neighbor, though, had another plan. when i drove by her home today i saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and a colorful songbird having its dinner. it was such an affirmation of life. it was such a joy to see. i could feel my heart smile.life by its very nature is a mixed bag. it hands us both beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasure and pain. what we do with it, however, is up to us. we can let it split us in two, or we can use even its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. we can spend it complaining or we can use it to help others.1. we know from the first paragraph that _a. the tree grew very slowlyb. the authors neighbor was good at planting treesc. the tree showed its beauty and benefitsd. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight2. the authors neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_.a. a good reminder b. a seat after dinnerc. a

didnt start to drink tea until i was 35. what happened before that? the first time i felt a genuine urge to drink tea was in 2003, when i stayed briefly in the united kingdom. after a time of consuming local food, i started to really like strong black tea. although it was too strong to my tongue, i felt it was a necessity because it was comforting to my body.i took packs of green teas with me as gifts but was disappointed to find my british friends preferred much stronger black teas from sri lanka. later i learned that although people know china for its teas, it ranks only third among the worlds black tea exporters, after sri lanka and kenya.after i came back to china and started to cover food stories, i met friends in the tea-drinking circle and learned more. although the majority of the rest of the world drinks black tea, which the chinese call“red tea”, china produces and drinks mostly green teas.i feel lucky to be chinese because of the great variety of teas available in the country. it is estimated that there are more than 2,000 teas in china if you divide them geographically, including more than 600 locally famous brews. a more simple way to categorize (分类) is by color and extent of fermentation (发酵). that comes down to six main categoriesgreen, white, yellow, dark-greenish (oolong), red and black teas.tasting teas can be compared to our lives. they can be plain and predictable but sometimes they are full of pleasant surprises. occasionally they can even seem too good to be true. the best thing is, you know theres always more to explore.4. which country ranks

b细节理解题。文中共涉及到以下七个： “you can you up, no can no bb.” 、“tuhao” 、“no zuo no die” 、“dama”、 “feng shui”、“chengguan” and “people mountain people sea”所以b项是正确的。10. d 推理判断。第四段可知a是正确的。第六段第一句“the frequent use of

swiss. hell (地狱) is where the police are german, the cooks are english, the mechanics are french, the lovers are swiss, and everything is organized by the italians.”obviously the national stereotypes (模式化的思想) in this old joke are generalizations (普遍化), but such stereotypes are often said to “exist for a reason”. is there actually a sliver (裂片) of truth in them? not likely, an international research team now says.“national and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing,” said study author robert mccrae of the national institute on aging. “these are in fact unfounded stereotypes. they dont come from looking around you,” mccrae said.if national stereotypes arent rooted in real experiences, then where do they come from? one possibility is that they reflect national values, which may become known from historical events. for example, many historians have argued that the spirit of american individualism has its origins in the experiences of the pioneers on the old west.social scientists such as psychologist richard robins have given several other possible explanations for stereotypes and why they may be incorrect. robins notes that some stereotypes may have been correct at one point in history and then remained unchanged while the culture changed.we may be“hard-wired”, to some degree, to keep incorrect stereotypes, since we are less likely to notice and remember information that is different from our stereotypes. generally, according to robins, when we meet people who are different from our stereotypes, we see them as unique individuals rather than typical national or cultural groups.12. the stereotype about italians is _.a. romantic but disorganized b. friendly and good-temperedc. dreamy and impractical d. strict but thoughtful13. national stereotypes are not always correct because_.a. what was true in the past may not be true at presentb. they are formed by individual historiansc. generalizations are made through personal experienced. people tend to have false idea about other culture14. according to the research team led by mccrae, national stereotypes are _.a. interesting b. harmfulc. unreliable d. humorous15. the underlined word “hard-wired” in the last paragraph probably means_.a. forgetful b. anxiousc. helpless d. fixed【答案】12. a 13. a 14. c 15. d【解析】试题分析: 本文讲述的是各个国家由于历史给他国留下固有印象，这种固有印象会让人们以为现在也是如此，但这是不可靠的。12. a 细节理解题。根据第一段提到一个有英国警察、法国厨子、德国机械师、意大利情人，一切都由瑞士人管理的地方就是天堂。一个有德国警察、英国厨子、法国机械师、瑞士情人，一切都由意大利人管理的地方就是地狱，故推测意大利人很浪漫但没有组织性，故选a项。13. b 推理判断题。根据第二段可知，玩笑中的对于一个国家模式化的思想反应是客观事实，但这些存在都是有原因的，现在也是这样的吗，不一定，故选b项。14. d 细节理解题。根据第三段提到national and cultural stereotypes do play an important role in how people see themselves and others, and being aware that these are not dependable is a useful thing.可知，这些模式化的观念在人们如何看待这个国家的问题上起着重要的作用，但要意识到这些是不可靠的，故选d项。考点：考查文化类阅读。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。how to get along with your bossin your career, you may have to report
