this is a lesson that serves myself. it only shows just how to get rid of something (ill-feelings, responsibility) by blaming others. its not my “best self”.we have to search for our “best self” when with our children. they dont need perfect parents, but they do need parents who are always trying to get better. here, i am reminded of the words of a great thinker. “when a man lives with god, his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the book” then, in our lifetime, couldnt we always speak to our kids in such a sweet voice since most of us consider them as the most precious in the world? and before we reach this level, what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?【文章大意】本文叙述了作者忙于烦人的工作时，发现孩子把房间弄的乱七八糟，于是大喊。孩子们因此不愿意理他了。当作者发现自己错了，他于是开始于孩子开玩笑，逗乐孩子。作者认为大人要始终对孩子保持最好的一面，不要对孩子着急发火。41. the author couldnt help yelling at his kids this time probably because_.a. the weather was so unpleasant b. he was tired of his boring workc. the kids didnt ask him to join them d. a daddy has his right to do so【答案】b【 解析】推理判断题。根据with a tiresome report to write, i felt bothered at my desk. suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault.可知作者正在写一篇烦人的报道，因此对自己的工作感到厌烦，有发现孩子把房间弄得换七八糟，因此大喊。故选b42. which of the following made the author aware of his fault?a. no obvious reason. b. the boys yelling back.c. his self-awareness. d. the girls shouting back【答案】d【 解析】推理判断题。根据there being an expression of support from his sister.和all of a sudden, i found the fault in myself.可知作者发现孩子的姐姐也认为是他错了，打算要远离他，此时作者才意识到是自己错了。故选d。43. according to the passage, the author will _ in another similar situation.a. play a crab again like this time b. apologize to kids in a sincere wayc. avoid blaming kids in a hurry d. beat them up about such things【答案】c【 解析】推理判断题。根据i regretted not having controlled myself first in a right way.可知作者后悔着急的对孩子发火。因此可推断作者下次再相似的情况下会控制自己，避免急匆匆的责骂孩子。故选c。44. what will the writer go on to write about in the next paragraph(s)?a. how to behave ourselves properly when kids are at fault.b. how to play with our children in a more interesting way.c. how to deal with the housework with children around us.d. how to persuade children to do what they are told to.【答案】c【 解析】推理判断题。根据what should we do when we come across various difficult cases with our children?可知此处作者问当我们遇到与孩子有不同的难题时应该怎么办，因此可推断下文将会讲如何处理与孩子遇到的问题，像家务。故选c。45. what does “the boy wanted no part of me” in the third paragraph mean?a. the boy was happy because i loved them.b. the boy was curious because i wanted to help them. c. the boy was very happy for i was angry. d. the boy didnt want me to join them.【答案】a【 解析】词义猜测题。根据“get away from us!” he shouted back,可知孩子大喊离我们远点，由此猜测这句话的意思是孩子不想让他加入他们。故选acmost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. it may be walking, cycling, or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. it may be a game of some formsfootball, basketball, hockey, golf or tennis. it may be mountaineering.those who have a passion of climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks in high mountains? this astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure. mountaineering is a sport and not a game. there are no man-made rules, as others, as there are for such games as golf and football. there are, of course, rules of different kinds which would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.if we compare mountaineering with other more familiar sports we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. we should be mistaken in this. there are, it is true, no “ matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.the mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. he has to fight the forces of nature. his sport requires high mental and physical qualities.a mountain climber continues to improve in skill year by year. a skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty. but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps. they may take more time than younger men, but they perhaps climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.【文章大意】本文叙述了登山运动的独特之处以及登山运动员所要战胜的困难。登山运动员不遵循一些人为的规则，而是自由的用自己的方法来攀登，因此登山属于一种运动而不是一种比赛。登山运动员不仅要战胜内心的强迫意识而且要战胜自然界的力量。46. what sports are popular among people in winter in the passage?a. soccer and golf. b. skiing and skating. c. cycling and hockey. d. mountaineering.【答案】b【 解析】细节理解题。根据or in winter, skating or skiing.可知冬季人们喜爱的运动有滑雪和滑冰。故选b47. the underlined word “passion” in paragraph 2 could best be replaced by _.a. strong emotion b. good way c. better feeling d. enough affection【答案】a【 解析】词义猜测题。根据willing to suffer cold and hardship and to take risks in high mountains可知登山运动员愿意遭受寒冷和辛苦，冒险登山需要的是很强的热情和激情。故选a48. mountaineering is a sport, not a game because_.a. it has man-made rules b. it is too dangerous for climbersc. it cant bring people joy or leisure d. it is free for climbers to use their own methods【答案】d【 解析】推理判断题。根据those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.可知登山运动员不遵循一些人为的规则，而是自由的用自己的方法来攀登，因此登山属于一种运动而不是一种比赛。故选d。49. we know from the passage that _. a. mountaineering has no appeal for people b. physical quality is more important than mental one for climbersc. a mountain climber passes his best by the age of thirtyd. it is possible for an old man of fifty or sixty to climb the alps【答案】d【 解析】推理判断题。根据but it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the alps.可知50岁或60岁的男人攀登最高山阿尔卑斯山是很常见的，是有可能的。故选d。50. what is the best title for the passage?a. sports in winter b. team work in climbingc. mountaineering d. the quality for mountaineering 【答案】c【 解析】标题归纳题。全文围绕着登山运动的独特之处，以及登山运动员需要战胜的困难，可知本文主要讲的是登山运动。故选c。dwhen times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. when were hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. we take buses instead of taxis. and we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. with college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education.one cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelors degree in three years instead of four. educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. but theres a question: would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? few us universities have formally approved a “three-year degree” model.i doubt that mainstream north american colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum (课程) any time soon. for one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. in addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly “throw out” one quarter of the required credits. professors will resist “diluting (稀释)” the quality of the education they offer.in my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. a college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. it is not a good idea to water down education, any more than its not a good idea to water down medicine. if we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. we should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. we should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at northeastern university. 【文章大意】本文叙述了大学教育是否要削减时间，由四年制改为三年制。虽然许多美国大学没有正式的赞同三年制的教育模式，但是在美国大多数大学，有些优秀大学生可以提前毕业。作者认为四年制的大学教育质量比三年制的更优越，学生可以利用充足的时间在所主修的专业和领域变得越来越熟练。51. which of the following can be the best title?a. its time to shorten the learning processb. best learning takes place over timec. university education should be watered downd. college education calls for reform【答案】b【 解析】标题归纳题。根据a college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major.可知作者认为大学教育要求学生利用充足的时间在所主修的专业和领域变得熟练，也就是要求最好的学习需要充足的时间。故选b52. we can learn from the passage that _.a. most american universities are against the “three-year degree” modelb
