to me in china but would certainly never happen in the us. one of those things is being called “strong”the first time was last december. i was walking across the high school campus in guangzhou where i taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello. i smiled and waved back, but then she stopped and called my name. “youre so strong！” she smiled and pointed at what appeared to be my arm.i looked down at my arms. lets get one thing clear: im a very skinny guy. once, while rehearsing for a high school talent show, i was told by the teacher in charge that i couldnt participate in the mens shirtless dance routine because my visible rig cage(胸腔) would frighten the audience. “im so what？” “youre so strong！” she repeated. “um, thanks！” i didnt know what else to say, so we both waved goodbye.the next morning i stepped into my oral english classroom only to be greeted instantly by a unanimous(异口同声的) “waaa！” of shock and admiration. “what？” i asked. “youre so strong！” shouted a boy from the back of the class. “okay, will someone tell me what that means？” i was curious as to the real reason for such praise. so i turned to the monitor, gesturing for him to speak. “we just mean, you look very strong today，” he offered earnestly. “what？！ you mean like this？” i curled(卷起) my arm like a bodybuilder. “no! but its so cold, and youre only wearing a shortsleeve shirt.”oh, i got it. my “strength” had less to do with my muscle and more to do with my apparent ignorance of the cold weather.文章大意：我是一个很瘦的人，可是学生们却说我“strong”，这是怎么回事呢？67from the passage we can learn that the author is_.a. a chinese student b. an american studentc. a chinese teacher d. an american teacher68the author used the example of being refused to join in the dance routine to show that_.a. many people worry about his bad healthb. he is as strong as a body builderc. actually he isnt physically strong at alld. being called “strong” often happens to him69the underlined word “she” in the 4th paragraph refers to_.a. the girl he met on the campus b. the teacher in charge of the dance routinec. the girl who joined in the rehearsingd. a stranger he met on the way to work70which of the following is the best title for this passage?a. the chinese culture or the western cultureb. am i strong or do i need a sweaterc. how i can get stronger in winterd. how we can tell two different cultures apart67答案：d推理判断题。由第一段第一句话可知，作者是美国人；由第二段第二句话“i was walking across the high school campus in guangzhou where i taught when a student in a gray scarf waved hello.”可知，我是广州一所大学的老师。68答案：c推理判断题。第三段论述的中心是“lets get one thing clear: im a very skinny guy.”，即我并不强壮；而所举例子正是为论证这一观点的。69答案：a猜测词义题。由前文可知，此处的she指的就是在校园向我问好的那个女学生。70答案：b主旨大意题。全文讲述了作者对学生说作者“strong”的误解，此处的strong并不是身体强壮，而是不怕寒冷之意。所以b项符合。*结束 (2012济南二月月考)the western alphabet, which is used in europe, the america, africa, australia and new zealand as well as in other countries, originated in the middle east. the people who gave the world this alphabet were the phoneacians, a people who established colonies all over the mediterranean, including carthage in africa and gades in spain. in their alphabet, the letters were represented by little pictures which represented sounds. the phoneacian a was aelph, which means “bull”， and it was made from a little picture of a bulls head. the letter b was beth which meant “house”， and showed the roundroofed buildings which you can still see today in syria.the phoneacians had contact with another nation of sailors, the greeks, with whom they fought and traded. the greeks also started to use the phoneacian alphabet. they changed the names, so aelph and beth became alpha and beta. the shapes of the letters are the same, but they have been turned sideways. if you know any greek, you can try turning the letters around again, and see how they look. you will see that the curve on the right of the greek a becomes the horns of a little bull. of course, the first two letters of the alphabet give it its name. over the years there have been changes. latin developed an alphabet with some different letters to the greeks, and other letters have been added since. but really westerners are using the same system of writing which has served them so well for thousands of years.文章大意：本文告诉我们的是西方字母表的历史。71what is the purpose of this text?a. to share something of the phoneacian history. b. to tell the story of the western alphabet.c. to compare the western alphabet with others. d. to describe the order of the greek alphabet.72where did the western alphabet originally come from?a. carthage. b. gades. c. the mediterranean. d. the middle east.73which picture, according to the text, represents beth? 74which change did the greeks make to the phoneacian alphabet?a. they changed the pictures to sounds.b. they put a curve on the letter a.c. they changed the shapes of the letters.d. they turned the letters in a different direction.75which of the following shows the development of western alphabet? more letters were added to the alphabet. little pictures represented sounds. the letters were turned sideways. the names of the letters were changed. a. b. c. d. 71答案：b推理判断题。文章一开始就点明了主题：西方的字母表。72答案：d细节理解题。由第一段第一句话“.originated in the middle east.”可知。73答案：a细节理解题。由第一段最后一句话“the letter b was beth which meanthouse，and showed the roundroofed buildings which you can still see today in syria.”可知，应该选圆顶的房子。74答案：d细节理解题。由第二段第四句话“the shapes of the letters are the same, but they have been turned sideways.”可知，希腊人保存了字母的形状，但是给它改变了方向。75答案：a细节理解题。由文章叙述顺序可知。*结束*结束c42012福建卷 finally, a cell phonethatsa phonewith rates as low as $3.75 per

basics of mathmade clearbasic math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. these 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for algebra(代数)and beyond.the lessons in basic math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. they also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. in addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.basic math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. the lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. they also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazingand completely understandablefield of study.by the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. they will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. in addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.professor h. siegel, honored by kentucky educational television as “the best math teacher in america”， is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. from the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is a master in making math lectures learnerfriendlier and less scary.with a phd in mathematics education from georgia state university, dr. siegel teaches mathematics at central arizona college. his courses include various makeup classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.if the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. or you can get your money back.56what does the course basic math mainly cover?aalgebra.bcollege mathematics.carithmetic.dmathematics education.57what benefits can students expect from basic math?astronger imaginative ability.badditional presentation skills.cmore mathematical confidence.dgreater chances of becoming teachers.58what can we learn about professor hsiegel?ahe is a guest lecturer at kentucky educational television.bhe is to deliver 30 lectures in basic math.che works in georgia state university.dhe specializes in training teachers.59where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?aa news report.ba book review.ca lesson plan.dan advertisement.【要点综述】本文主要介绍了一个数学课程，从课程内容、功能用途、预期目标、主讲人等方面做了详细说明，是一则招生广告。56. c细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“the lessons in basic math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic.”可知此题答案为c。57. c细节理解题。本题考查课程的功能作用。第四段整体在讲述该课程的功能作用。只有c项为本段中讲述的。其他项均未涉及。58. b推理判断题。本题适合用排除法对四个选项进行排除。文中只说明他是被kentucky educational television评为美国最好的数学教师，并没说明他是在电视台做客座讲师；文中也谈到他在georgia state university取得博士学位，而他是在central arizona college教数学。他的课是为future primary school teachers做准备，而不是直接培训教师。本文只谈到他一个教师，所以推断应该是唯一教师。结合第一段数学课程是由30个讲座构成，所以选b。59. d推理判断题。根据最后一段 “if the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. or you can get your money back.”可知，此课程为收费课程，应是招生广告。所以选d。*结束a(2011辽宁卷，a)i got my first drivers license (执照)
