核心考点
试题【Basically, people are afraid of giving talks in front of others. Some may have n】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Don"t you just love ice skating every winter? I am sure, that since winter is approaching, your skates are set to come out, just waiting to be used. Impress your friends with your new trick on how to ice-skate backwards with the help of these tips. Skating backwards on ice is a bit difficult but once you master the basic, there" s nothing like it. Follow the steps given below and you will be able to skate backwards in no time.     
Stand Straight
The first thing that you need to do is, stand straight. If you feel that you are falling backwards, then just put your chin up and slightly bend your knees. Don"t worry; this happens to all.
Confidence is What You Need
The most important step while learning how to skate backwards, is having enough confidence in yourself and in what you are doing. How can you achieve this? By practice. Just practice rolling backwards down a gentle slope every single day or just by pushing off from a wall or something of that sort. But before you do that, make sure that the place where you are practicing is free from any kind of debris(碎片)because otherwise, you could end up in the hospital due to some accident. While going backwards, just get used to the feeling of moving backwards. One of the important ice skating tips and techniques is that if you feel that you are losing your balance, then scissor (做剪式运动) your skates. Keep practicing this till you are confident about it.
Maintain Speed
Confident now? Great! Now the next step is to maintain your speed. While rolling in a straight line with one skate, with the other try sculling (滑浆), that is, keep pushing yourself backwards with an outwards stroke (滑动). Now bring the skate which you were using to scull, and then again, repeat the same process. Make sure that you put most of your weight on the skate which is moving straight and not the one with which you are sculling. Now, try the same thing using the other foot. Again keep doing this till you are confident enough.
Increase Your Speed Now
Once you are confident that you can scull with either foot, the next thing that you have to do is increase your speed. Try some of your own tricks now. Scull with either foot or with both at the same time.
Scull and Be Aware
While you keep one foot straight, keep sculling with the other. You can do that simultaneously with both feet. Concentrate on what you are doing but don"t get so involved that you don"t see where you are going. If you are not watching your back, you might just bang against something or someone.
小题1:According to the text, confidence comes from ________ .
A.constant exerciseB.strict coachesC.high speedD.good techniques
小题2:Which is the right order of ice-skating backwards?
a. Increasing your speed.                       b .Being able to scull with one foot.
c. Being about to stand straight.                   d. Trying some different tricks.
A.c→a→d→bB.c→b→d→aC.c→b→a→dD.a→c→b→d
小题3: In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _________.
A.one must be brave to learn to ice-skate backwards
B.skating and keeping cautious are both important
C.it’s difficult to concentrate when ice-skating backwards
D.it" s a common thing to hit someone when ice skating backwards

Last year, CCTV journalists approached pedestrians with their cameras, held a microphone to their mouth and asked a simple question, “Are you happy?”
The question has caught many interviewees off guard. Even Mo Yan, who just won a Nobel Prize, responded by saying, “I don’t know”.
While the question has become a buzz phrase and the Internet plays host to heated discussions, we ask: What exactly is happiness? And how do you measure it?
In the 1776 US Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson set in writing the people’s unalienable right to “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”. 235 years on, Wen Jiabao told the nation, “Everything we do is aimed at letting people live more happily.” At National People’s Congress, officials agreed that increasing happiness would be a top target for the 12th five-year plan.
US psychologist Ed Diener, author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth, describes happiness as “ a combination of life satisfaction and having more positive than negative emotions”, according to US broadcasting network PBS. This may sound straightforward enough, but it still doesn’t explain what determines people’s happiness.
Many argue that happiness is elusive and that there is no single source. It also means different things to different people. For some, happiness can be as simple as having enough cash.
Researchers believe happiness can be separated into two types: daily experiences of hedonic (享乐的) well-being; and evaluative well-being, the way people think about their lives as a whole. The former refers to the quality of living, whereas the latter is about overall happiness, including life goals and achievements. Happiness can cross both dimensions.
Li Jun, a psychologist and mental therapy practitioner at a Beijing clinic, says, “Happiness can mean both the most basic human satisfaction or the highest level of spiritual pursuit. It’s a simple yet profound topic.”
Chen Shangyuan, 21, a junior English major at Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, said his idea of happiness always evolves. “At present it relates to how productive I am in a day,” he said. “It might be linked to job security or leisure time after I graduate.”
Then there is the question of measuring happiness. Does it depend on how many friends we have, or whether we own the latest smart phone? Is it even quantifiable?
Economists are trying to measure happiness in people’s lives. Since 1972, Bhutan’s GDP measurement has been replaced by a Gross National Happiness index. It is calculated according to the peoples’ sense of being well-governed, their relationship with the environment, their satisfaction with economic development, and their sense of national belonging.
In 2009, US economist Joseph Stiglitz proposed “to shift emphasis from measuring economic production to measuring people’s well-being”. But is well-being more easily measured?
小题1: In the second paragraph, the writer gave an example to ________.
A.support his idea that being famous is the reason to be happy
B.introduce his topic to be discussed
C.tell people winning a Nobel Prize is a great honor
D.show that the question was quite difficult
小题2:From what Thomas Jefferson and Wen Jiabao mentioned in the passage, we know ________.
A.people’s happiness is determined by great people
B.people’s happiness is an important target for the development of a country
C.people in all countries have the right to ask the government for a happy life
D.people both in China and America are living a happy life
小题3:According to the passage, the writer may most likely agree that ________.
A.CCTV journalists are concerned about people’s happiness out of sympathy
B.the question has led to heated discussions about who are the happiest people in China
C.Bhutan’s new index shows that people there are the happiest in the world
D.it is not easy for us to decide what determines people’s happiness
小题4:What does the underlined word “elusive” in the sixth paragraph mean?
A.available.B.easy to get.C.hard to describe.D.unimaginable.
小题5:The best title of the passage is ________.
A.Are you happy?B.The Measurement of Happiness
C.GDP and HappinessD.The Secret of Happiness

Ball Management
Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting for their opponent to find a ball to serve(发球).
Behavior & Attitude
Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you play, so try to have fun and stay positive.
Pace
Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready after making an attempt at returning the serve.
For Spetators(观众)
Cheering
While it is seen as proper etiquette(礼仪)to remain silent during the live play, loud and spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a high level when the crowd is actively involved.
Leaving and returning to your seat
During live play it’s expected that all spectators will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看台) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other audience.
Photography
The issue of camera shutter(快门) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography should be avoided during live play.
小题1:During warm-ups, tennis player ______________.
A.ought to hit a full pace
B.can place their shots anywhere
C.should not practice competitively
D.had better run around the whole court
小题2:According to the text, during tennis matches, _____________________.
A.players can slow the game down when tired
B.players don’t have to keep a ball in their hand
C.the receiver shouldn’t return the serve if not ready

小题3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________________.
A.flash photography is acceptable on the golf court
B.tennis fans can use flash photography during matches
C.the noise from cameras is not permitted in tennis matches
D.tennis matches require a less degree of quiet than golf ones

I find some of the ways in which Chinese parents show love for their children rather surprising. Obviously there are some pretty big differences between our behaviors and theirs in this respect. Most Chinese children seem to get whatever they want, from ice creams, sweets and toys to endless attention from the adults around them. Is this a sort of spoiling or love? I wonder.
Most westerners would think it is a sort of spoiling rather than love. We think love means educating your children and bringing them up to lead an independent life. That includes learning to accept the fact that he can"t get everything he wants. As an adult, he will not always get the quite expensive car he hunts for; she will not always manage to acquire the beautiful dress she longs for. So we try to teach our children early to cope with the disappointment of not getting what they want.
I find too much such kind of love for the children can actually spoil them. To my surprise, it seems that the life of a Chinese child is rather hard. Without doubt, the child is the very center of a whole circle of adults, but on the other hand he or she is also expected to start studying according to adults" wishes. Many children of my son"s age take piano lessons, painting classes and even English lessons. It looks as if Chinese adults think that just playing without learning anything is a waste of time. So in this respect our children appear spoiled, just because they are allowed to play. But without this sort of play how can western children develop such free and rich imaginations? In fact the connection between this imagination and the creativity is so important in the children’s future life.
小题1:In which way do most Chinese children seem to be spoiled?
A.They can be supported by their parents.
B.They can play whenever they want.
C.They need not behave themselves.
D.Their demands can always be satisfied.
小题2:In the author"s opinion, the life of a Chinese child is         .
A.rather hardB.rather easyC.independentD.colorful
小题3:The author thinks Western children appear spoiled because         .
A.they can manage time by themselves
B.they can have the freedom to play
C.they can take piano lessons
D.they may have expensive toys
小题4:The best title of the passage could be         .
A.Chinese children"s early education
B.How to develop kids" imagination
C.What is the real love for children
D.The imagination and creativity

Most people will praise many technological gadgets(小装置) that they use in their everyday lives. Technology is developing at a very fast rate, and what most people did not even think could be real a few years ago is now becoming a reality. Although many will use and advertise modern technology for many of its achievements and advancements, what many don’t realize is that it has affected and continues to affect society and people in general in a negative way.
Newspaper companies, as we all know, have been hit very hard by the advancements in technology. Big newspapers have been forced to either lay off a percentage of their work force or shut down altogether because news is readily available for free on the Internet. Music does not have to be purchased at a music store any more because MP3 files are readily available on the Internet as well, thus causing big music store chains to shut their doors for good. The movie industry has also been hit hard because DVD sales have decreased since people can pay for and download their favorite movies online.
Technology has its benefits, but when you take a look at how people communicate with one another, you will quickly see that it has a negative impact. Modern technology has allowed people to communicate with just about anyone they want to at any given time. The fact remains that people do not interact personally with one another as often as they used to. This has created a barrier for face-to-face communication among people because they no longer have to hold a meeting in an office or they no longer have to call friends or family members together to wish them a happy birthday or congratulate them on their recent success.
As a result, people don’t feel the urgent need to step outside of their home to find entertainment, such as participating in a dynamic game of basketball with friends, meeting a friend at a coffee shop, etc.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to tell us that _____.
A.technology is developing rapidly
B.many dreams have come true.
C.technology benefits us a lot
D.technology has its disadvantages
小题2:The author shows us the negative effects of the technology by _____.
A.telling some storiesB.giving some examples
C.listing some figuresD.doing some experiments
小题3:What does he underlined word “interact” in the third paragraph probably mean?
A.argueB.consultC.communicateD.work
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The negative effects of advancing technology
B.The benefits of the modern technology
C.The development of the modern technology
D.The social problems caused by the technology
