“i go in case everyone else has given up on them,” he told me once. “ill never give up.” never giving up is a quality we honor in athletes, in soldiers, in survivors of disasters, in patients recovering from severe injuries. if you struggle bravely against strong opponents（对手）, you are likely to end up on the evening news. but in less flashy, less newsworthy forms, devotion to a task, or a person, or an occupation shows up in countless lives all around us.it shows up in parents who will not quit loving their daughter even after she dyes her hair purple, tattoos （纹身）her belly and runs off with a rock band. it shows ill couples who choose to mend their marriages instead of ending it. it shows up in volunteers at the hospital or library, it shows up in unsung people everywhere who do their job well, not because the boss is watching or because they are paid large amounts of money but because they know their work matters.1. why did the man visit the prisoners every week _. a. thats his jobs. b. he wanted to teach them a lesson. c. he was a postman. d. he wanted to show care and offer help.2. from the third paragraph, we can infer that when never giving up is mentioned, people are likely to relate it to _. a. unknown people b. people facing challenges c. the divorced couples d. the hospital volunteers3. what quality does the author value most according to the text?

whos going to have green beans? whos going to have sweet potato pie? obama has shown a knack(窍门) for symbolism, in this case following the thanksgiving tradition of helping the poor, said david greenberg, a rutgers university historian who is working on a history of political spin. here hes showing a different side of himself, the president as national conscience or moral authority. i think thats probably a good note for him to introduce in a transition period thats been so heavily focused on wall street and the financial system and these economic problems, he said. hes not forgetting who these economic problems are hurting the most. for bush, his final thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. he always reflects a bit at thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared（放飞）the thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin, on wednesday. he gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people. then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago and that his mother, former first lady barbara bush, was doing well after being hospitalized. most of all, he said, i thank the american people for the tremendous privilege of serving as the president. this thanksgiving, obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, sasha, 7, and malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids. i want them to learn the importance of how fortunate they are and to make sure theyre giving back, he said of bringing the girls to the church. and whats he thankful for? i just want you to know what im thankful for is my family and my friends and my community, he told the schoolchildren. thats the most important thing. 1. the best title of the passage should be _a. thanksgiving for bush and obama b. thanksgiving dayc. how to celebrate thanksgiving day d. thanksgiving day for presidents答案解析：答案为a。本题考查文章的标题。全文报道了即将卸任的总统bush和新选举的总统obama各自在感恩节做的事情。故答案为a。2. the underlined word “squeeze” in paragraph 2 is closest to _a. force b. push c. join d. take答案解析：答案为c。本题为词义猜测题。结合下文的第三段 “on a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family. the other, promising change, is surrounding himself with dozens of people in a busy city.”可知，“one man”指的是第一段提到的president george bush，他和家人一起要去遥远的山顶；“the other”指的是第二段提到的president-elect barack obama，他在繁忙的城市中，周围都是人。可以推断，第二段写的是新选举的总统obama加入了圣诞节的购物潮中，因此squeeze意思最接近 “join”，故答案为c。3. which of the following is not right according to the passge?a. bush is thought highly of by the people in the article.b. bushs daughters are 27 years old now.c. obama visited some of the people who needed help.d. bush gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节题。由第三段 “on a holiday designed for reflection, one man, historically unpopular, is heading to a remote mountaintop with his family.”可知，“one man”在历史上不受欢迎，结合上题的分析，“one man”指的是bush，因此a选项“文中人们对bush评价很高”错误，故答案为a。 第九段写的是bush, 由文中 “he gave thanks to troops and volunteers, to teachers and pastors, to all the american people. then he gave thanks for his wife and twin daughters two thanksgiving miracles who we were blessed with 27 years ago”可知，b、d选项符合文意。由第四段 “dressed casually in a leather jacket and black scarf on wednesday, obama handed out food to the needy at a chicago church”可知，c选项符合文意。 4. the passage suggests that _a its a tradition for a us president to spare a turkey on thanksgiving day.b on thanksgiving day, obama mainly has a get-together with his family and friends.c obama asked his two daughters to make contribution to the us economy.d bush thinks it a honour and also a pity to be the us president.答案解析：答案为a。本题为细节推理题，解答此题可用排除法。由第十一段 “this thanksgiving, obama used the opportunity for a relatively rare public event with his wife and children, sasha, 7, and malia, 10 and a chance for a little lesson for the kids.”可知，obama利用这个机会和妻子孩子团聚，没有和朋友一起，故b选项错误。c、d选项未提。因此只有选择a选项“对于美国总统来说感恩节放飞火鸡是一种传统”，文中第八段提到 “for bush, his final thanksgiving in office is proving a time for nostalgia. he always reflects a bit at thanksgiving, but he went further as he spared the thanksgiving turkey, pumpkin, on wednesday.” 由此可知，a选项是正确的。 2013 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。one of the greatest gifts one generation can give to other generations is the wisdom it has gained from experience.this idea has inspired the awardwinning photographer andrew zuckerman.he interviewed and took photos of fifty oversixtyfiveyearolds all over the world.his project explores various aspects of their lives.the photos and interviews are now available on our website.click on the introductions to read the complete interviews.let us now have a culture of peace.federico mayor zaragoza，spainfederico mayor zaragoza obtained a doctorate in pharmacy(药学)from the complutense university of madrid in 1958.after many years spent in politics，he became directorgeneral of unesco in 1987.in 1999，he created the foundation for a culture of peace，of which he is now the president.in addition to many scientific publications, he has published four collections of poems and several books of essays.writing is a discovery.nadine gordimer，south africadue to a weak heart，nadine gordimer attended school and university briefly.she read widely and began writing at an early age.she published her first short story at the age of fifteen，and has completed a large number of works, which have been translated into forty languages.in 1991，gordimer won the nobel prize for literature.jazz is about the only form of art today.dave brubeck，usadave brubeck studied music at the university of the pacific and graduated in 1942.after world war two he was encouraged to play jazz.in 1951，he recorded hi
