核心考点
试题【My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my fat】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Gift of Time
Moms just want to spend time with their children so make it a Mother-Daughter/Son day. Spend the whole day with her. Do the things she likes doing with her.
Home Video
Take your family videos and make them a short home video. She can enjoy it whenever she misses you. Although it may take a lot of time, the process(过程) can be great fun and the result is often priceless(无价).
Mom Mix
Make a CD for her. It’s a collection of all the songs that remindher of you and your growing up.
Write a Letter
Write a letter instead of a simple card. Write about all the good memories you have with her and all the things she has done for you.
Flowers
People send carnations(康乃馨) on Mother’s Day. You can easily spend a lot of money on them. If you have flowers in your garden, or can handpick them, it can be a great gift.
Dinner
Make a dinner and invite her over. You can also take it over to her house and surprise her. Just don’t’ forget to wash the dishes after the dinner.
小题1:Why is it not easy to find a right gift on Mother’s day?
| A．Because we want to save money |
| B．Because mothers don’t like gifts. |
| C．Because we always want to get something special |
| D．Because mothers are very difficult to deal with |
| A．fun | B．boring | C．easy | D．nothing |
| A．使……防范 | B．使……想起 | C．使……经过 | D．使….. 痛苦 |
| A．4 | B．5 | C．6 | D．7 |
| A．you can buy a big cake for your mom on Mother’s day |
| B．writing a letter is better than sending a simple card to your mom on Mother’s Day. |
| C．inviting your mom to eat in a restaurant is a good gift for her. |

Everyone does it, and most interestingly—most do it unconsciously. You may wonder: “Does that mean I have to study psychology to succeed in reading body language?” The answer is “no” because most people are already body language readers.
It’s a skill developed since we’re babies—think of how most babies can recognize facial expressions and get attention without saying anything. That is, you needn’t spend most of your time practicing some of your body language cues(暗示)!
However, you should know that the context(语境) is king. It suggests that, depending on the context of the situation, people will hide body language cues. So sometimes cues can be tricky: a woman who locks her arms may think you are boring—or she may just feel cold. You must learn to read into the context as well as the cues. Sometimes people care more about their body language cues. For example, poker(扑克牌戏) players will consciously hide more of their body language cues.
The first place to start when reading a person’s body language is the face. The easiest way to hide your feelings is to cover your face. This is why it’s sometimes hard to tell if an Islamic girl likes you.
If the eyes are the windows of the mind, the eyebrows(眉毛) are the windows of the eyes. So, notice how a person’s eyebrows will generally rise when they meet someone, see something they like or are surprised at. Eyes generally smile along with the mouth when someone is happy, so everyone knows “^ . ^”.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly to show _____.
| A．how to express your meanings clearly |
| B．how to draw other’s attention |
| C．the importance of body language |
| D．the role of words in communication |

| B．The context makes body language difficult. |
| C．The context helps when reading body language. |
| D．The context is more important than body language. |
| A．Scientists | B．Farmers. | C．Teachers. | D．Poker players. |
Don"t feel worried．It"s not your fault(过错)! Being bullied can make you feel very lonely and angry，but you are not alone．Don"t feel that you have to hide the problem．You should find a person you can trust，and tell them．It might be your teacher，your parents，or even your friend"s parents．After you tell someone，you will get some support and feel some relief(解脱)．
Speaking to an adult might make you nervous，but here are other things you can do．Some people express their feelings more easily on paper．Write a letter to someone or keep a diary．Include all the details about what the bullies do, as well as when and where the bullying happens．You can use it as proof to show what is going on．And it is a wonderful idea to show your letter or diary to a teacher or another responsible adult．Then the bullies will feel very afraid if their names appear in a letter!
Also，don"t show you are sad and don"t try and fight with the bullies. You could get in trouble yourself. Ignore them and just walk away. The bullies will soon stop.
小题1:What do you think the text is trying to tell us?

This depth made the job even tougher. As the pressure on my body increased, I had to breathe harder, which used my air supply faster. So the deeper I dived, the shorter my time underwater.
I had a lot to do. First, I had to find the pygmy sea horse’s special type of fan .Then I had to look over the whole fan with my magnifying glass(放大镜) to see if a sea horse lived on it. If not, I had to find another fan—all the while keeping an eye on my oxygen supply. The second fan rewarded me with a find. The dive guide held the magnifying glass so I could have my first look at the tiny fish.
My next challenge was to focus my camera on such a small subject. The dive guide pointed at the tiny creature. I looked through the viewfinder(取景物) on my large underwater camera housing(相架), found the guide’s finger, and followed it to the sea horse.
It was hard to hold ourselves steady because both of us were floating in mid-water, but our system worked. I could hardly contain my excitement as I focused on the eyes of the cutest sea horse imaginable.
小题1:What do we learn about the red pygmy sea horse?
| A．It lives on red sea fans only. | B．It swims very quickly. |
| C．It lives nine feet deep. | D．It usually floats in mid-water. |
| A．how the author swam under water | B．how the author found a sea horse |
| C．why the author dived with a guide | D．why the author used a magnifying glass |
| A．she felt extremely nervous | B．her camera didn’t work well |
| C．the guide helped focus the camera | D．the sea horse was swimming away |
| A．To study the natural habitat of sea animals. |
| B．To explain why sea horses are endangered. |
| C．To tell us how to be an underwater photographer. |
| D．To show us how she took pictures of a sea horse. |
Dr Elizabeth Breeze, one of the researchers, said that women could become happier as they get older as they no longer have to worry about looking after their families.
She said:“There is a difference between the way men and women view their quality of life and they are influenced by slightly different things. Women are affected negatively by caring for someone else or if they are not in employment but if they see their children and family more they are positively affected.”
“A strange thing happens to male actors, especially movie stars, in my experience,” said Helen Mirren, a 62-year-old Hollywood actress.“A young male actor feels that all the girls want him-he’s a star. As actors get older they bad-tempered for they have lost that sense of being in control of their destiny(命运).”
Wealth also helps you live longer with the poorest people more than twice as likely to die earlier than the richest, researchers at University College London discovered. In some age groups. the difference was even greater. The poorest women between 60 and 74 are six times more likely to have died than the richest women of the same age.
According to the study, you have more chances of living longer if you are married, educated to certain degree or a professional. single people are twice as likely to die early as those who are married or living with a partner.
小题1:What may be the best title of the passage ?
| A．Why Women Are Happier Than Men in Old Age . |

| D．The Difference between Women and Men in Old Age |
| A．Men should not worry about looking after their family any more in old age |
| B．Male actors, especially movie stars are easy to get bad—tempered when they get older and older. |
| C．The poorest women about the age of 50 can’t live longer than the richest women at the same age. |
| D．Education has nothing to do with happy life in people’s old age. |
| A．Things that the old should do to be happier. |
| B．The disadvantage of being actors. |
| C．We should earn money as much as we can. |
