how will i cope? should i have brought another little person into the world? can i provide for it? heeelp! i think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy (不适) before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didnt share them.its difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to. a hen-pecked (惧内的) boss may feel like a seven-year-old when hes at home. but as he walks through the office door, and knows hes going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for advice, he grows into a fully mature man. and i think its a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progression of states, from the baby to the adult. most people feel, on tuesday, about three years old, and on a wednesday, around 80. i remember feeling very grown-up at eight, a time when i was weighed down with responsibility. these days, much older, i can, in the company of people i feel at ease with, feel like a young girl.theres a common remark that “all men are little boys”, but its not true. its more true that men often behave like little boys. but nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are capable of great maturity.once your baby arrives, youll soon feel less childlike, or rather, less often. when your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it. youll see you have very little in common with a needy child, particularly if its looking to you for comfort and support.comfort yourself, david, with two truths. one is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened. and remember that people who havent grown up dont go around talking about the fact that they dont feel grown-up.hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one.sincerely yours,miss advice43. according to the passage, miss advice thinks davids self-doubt _.a. valuableb. naturalc. unusuald. bearable44. from paragraph 2, we can learn that peoples sense of maturity _.a. will increase with ageb. is obviously seen at homec. changes with different situationsd. becomes stronger with familiar people45. miss advice holds that _.a. all men behave like little boysb. people tend to laugh at the subjectc. men with a baby feel more grown-upd. people enjoy talking about their immaturity46. miss advice wrote the letter to _.a. teach people how to grow upb. offer suggestions to a future fatherc. encourage people to be responsibled. solve problems of the less grown-up【参考答案】4345、bcc46、b【四川省资阳市2014模拟】e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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 the extraordinary eastgate building in harare, zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound (白蚁堆).architect mick pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the eastgate building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. the building the countrys largest commercial and shopping complex uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. the eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning plant didnt have to be imported. the complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium (天井) open to the air. fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents (通风口). as it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. during summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. by day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. for winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.this is all possible only because harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings days as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “you couldnt do this in new york, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” pearce said.the engineering firm of ove arup & partners monitors daily temperatures. it is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in october and three days in november, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. and the air is fresh far more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.47. why was eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?a. it was designed in a smaller size. b. no air conditioners were fixed in. c. its heating system was less advanced.d. it used rather different building materials.48. what does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? a. fresh air from outside.b. heat in the building. c. hollow space.d. baseboard vent. 49. why wouldnt a building like eastgate work efficiently in new york?a. new york has less clear skies as harare.b. its dampness affects the circulation of air.c. new york covers a larger area than harare.d. its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.50. the data in the last paragraph suggests eastgates temperature control system _.a. allows a wide range of temperatures b. functions well for most of the yearc. can recycle up to 30% of the aird. works better in hot seasons 【参考答案】4750、badb【天津市2014高考英语六校第三次联考试题】a阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。lets pay a visit to some of the most amazing and unusual places in the world, from icy hotels to temples on the side of cliffs(悬崖).hotel de glace canadaif you dont mind the cold, this igloo(冰屋) style hotel is certainly for you. nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! this hotel is so well insulated(隔热) that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. its around 23 degrees to be exact. since it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. for more information, visit the website: .the tigers nest monastery bhutanbuilt directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692. rich in history, tigers nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. however, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. visit the website /taktsang-monastery.php for more information.dinosaur provincial park canadaknown to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world, dinosaur provincial park has nearly 500 specimens (标本) in all shapes and sizes. the park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem. for more information, please visit http:/tpr.alberta.ca/parks/dinosaur/index.aspx.leshan giant buddha sichuan chinathe worlds largest buddha sits on the edge of two great rivers. construction is believed to have started around the year 713, and at the time of this construction it was the tallest carved statue in the world. all 233 feet of the stature was carved from the
