选出最佳选项 并在答题卡上 将该项涂黑 A For many years I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size I believed that when the weight disappeared it would take old wounds hurts and rejections with it Many weight conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved being special and being cherished We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long awaited goal We work very hard to realize this dream Then at last we find ourselves there 用心 爱心 专心5 But we often gain back what we have lost Even so we continue to believe that next time it will be different Next time we will keep it off Next time being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness self worth and of course love It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty Beauty standards vary with culture In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds More importantly if it s happiness that we want why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body Why not look inside Many of us strive hard to change our body but in vain We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves When we change our attitudes toward ourselves the whole world changes 56 What does the underlined word everything in Paragraph 2 mean A All the problems B All the properties C The whole world D The absolute truth 57 What can be inferred about the author A The author is a Samoan B The author succeeded losing weight C The author has been troubled by her weight D The author probably got wounded in an accident 58 According to the text those who have lost weight first and gained it back later feel A angry about the regained weight B indifferent to the regained weight C optimistic about future plans on weight control D they should give up their future plans on weight control 59 The text tries to stress the importance of A body size B attitudes toward life C culture difference D different beauty standards B B There are two kinds of people in the world Those of the first kind are born idlers 游手好闲者 taking interest in nothing It seems what they live for is to pass time idly They simply don t know why they have to do so nor will they bother to ask The other kind are those who take things seriously and never wish to idle away their life But only a part of the second group are eager enough to make success All the others fail to make enough effort to make their dreams come true Why do things so happen to them What are the reasons I later find out that some people are determined They are igniters that catch fire of their own giving light and heat But that s not the case with others They may be fuels but not igniters As pieces of wood or coal they need a match or a lighter to make them burn so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat The majority of people need some igniter to light them Thus igniter becomes 用心 爱心 专心6 a must for those people to succeed Unless a suitable igniter comes their way they will always remain idle like cold unused firewood or coal Fortunately such an igniter is not difficult to meet One may find it in an instructive book a film story a few words of a close friend some advice of a good teacher a pleasant journey or an unexpected love Any of these coming at the right time can serve as an igniter to start one s enthusiasm for learning or for a better career to turn him from a passive state of waiting to an active state of pursuing to lend him strength to go ahead bravely In that case what he has prepared for years will be quickly turned into fruitful reality Such an igniter may turn up of itself but most likely we have to find it ourselves Never let a chance slide away for it is the key to your success 60 According to the text are the persons that can light many people so that their energy can be released to give off light and heat A idlers B ignitersC fuelsD serious people 61 According to the writer what do most people definitely need to succeed A Storing a lot of energy B Great interest in everything C An igniter coming at the right time D Wonderful dreams about a bright future 62 The writer writes the article to A describe two kinds of peopleB encourage people to find chances to succeed C praise those who work hardD make fun of idlers C C During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another Understandably so Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything from organized sports to music dance and more But we can overdo it leaving our children feeling a little burnt out and according to parent educator Diane Loisie it s their school work which suffers the most After school if they re busy in a number of sporting events besides they need to do their homework then the time they ll feel sleepy is in the classroom Your child needs free time So if you re filling up that after school time then it s during the day that they re going to be taking a break Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there s a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away Relaxing time is important for children It s time just to do the things they want to do A child can go up to their room or they can play around It doesn t look like productive time parents certainly wouldn t be saying Wow are they ever learning things now But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day It helps a child prepare for sleep but it also helps to understand the learning that s gone on that day It s hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons 用心 爱心 专心7 After all many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that However Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything then what we re doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill So choose your children s activities wisely It may be one of the best things you ve ever done for your kids and for the family drivers 63 What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school A They can get bored easily about everything B They might have no time to do the homework C They might not pay much attention to learning D They cannot easily focus on learning during the day 64 What should we think of children s playing around aimlessly A It is productive B It is helpful C It is a bad habit D It is a waste of time 65 Why should parents limit the activities our children attend A Because children have no time B Because children cannot learn many things C Because children do not have enough sleep D Because children cannot focus on too many activities 66 What is the main idea of this passage A Don t be children s drivers after school B Choose activities for your children wisely C Make your children learn as much as possible D Let children learn something from various subjects D It was Molly s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work One morning in addition to his usual lunch bag Molly handed him a second paper bag This one was worn and held together with staples 订书钉 Why two bags her father asked The other is something else Molly answered What s in it Just some stuff Take it with you Not wanting to discuss the matter he put both bags into his briefcase kissed Molly and rushed off At midday he opened Molly s bag and took out the contents two hair ribbons 丝带 three small stones a plastic dinosaur a tiny sea shell a small doll and 13 pennies The busy father smiled finished eating and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket Molly s stuff included That evening Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper Where s my bag What bag The one I gave you this morning I left it at the office Why I forgot to put this note in it she said And besides 用心 爱心 专心8 Daddy the things in the sack are the things I really like I thought you might like to play with them You didn t lose the bag did you Daddy Oh no he said lying I just forgot to bring it home I ll bring it tomorrow While Molly hugged her father s neck he unfolded the note that read I love you Daddy Molly had given him her treasures all that a 7 year old held dear Love in a paper bag and he missed it not only missed it but had thrown it in the wastebasket So back he went to the office Just ahead of the night janitor 看门人 he picked up the wastebasket He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully The bag didn t look so good but the stuff was all there and that s what counted After dinner he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack It took a long time to tell Everything had a story or a memory Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life he thought We should all remember that it s not the destination that counts in life but the journey That journey with the people we love is all that really matters It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten 67 Why did Molly give her father a second bag A She didn t want to keep the things in the bag B She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father C She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things D She enjoyed playing with her father 68 How did father deal with the bag after he opened it A He kept it in the drawer B He took it back home C He threw it into the wastebasket D He put it on his table 69 After father heard what his daughter said he felt A regretful B surprised C sad D satisfied 70 Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage A An important journeyB Two bags C Father and daughterD Love in a paper bag E Spring is a wonderful season to celebrate rebirth and new life The long cold winter is over The weather is warmer and sunnier The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming The season represents hope joy and beauty At this time many people think of this classical music piece Spring which shows happiness Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundred However not all songs about spring are happy This song written and sung by K D Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008 Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945 Frank Sinatra sings it It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring Richard Rodgers also wrote 用心 爱心 专心9 Spring Is Here this time with Lorenz Hart Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season Frank Loesser wrote the sad song Spring Will be a Little Late This Year Why has the season been delayed Becaus
