阅读理解。 I was the middle child of three, but there was a gap of five years on either side, and I hardly saw my father
before I was eight. For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the only child"s habit of making up
stories and holding conversations with imaginary persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambitions
(文学志向) were mixed up with the feeling of being isolated (孤独) and undervalued. I knew that I had a natural
ability with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that this created a sort of private world in
which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.
However, the quantity of serious writing which I produced all through my childhood would not add up to
half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down to dictation. I can
not remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had "chair-like teeth"-a good enough
expression. At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the local (地方
的) newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit
older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished "nature poems". I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was
a failure. That was the total of the would-be serious work that I actually set down on paper during all those
years. 1. The underlined word "it" in paragraph 2 refers to _____. A. the quantity of serious writing
B. the writer"s first poem
C. the writer"s childhood
D. the tiger in the poem 2. From the text, we learn that as a little boy the writer _____. A. had no playmates
B. showed his gift for writing
C. put out lots of poems and stories
D. got his first poem published in 1916 3. What can be inferred about the writer? A. He was least favored in his family.
B. He had much difficulty in talking with others.
C. He had an unhappy childhood for lack of care.
D. His loneliness resulted in his interest in writing.

答案

举一反三

阅读理解。     EAT YOUR VEGETABLES. Wash your hands. Always say "please" and "thank you". We are full of advice
for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow
up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.
     Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:
     Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save $1.000, invest (投资) it at 8% and add $100
every month, by the time she"s 65, she would have $980,983!
     Be careful of credit (信用). Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history, but
they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when
you buy something using a credit card, you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have
paid if you used cash.
     Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150.Rather than paying the cash, give
him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say,$15 each week, he will be able to buy it
for himself in only ten weeks.
     Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving. "For every dollar he or she agrees to save
and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot," says Cathy Pareto, expert in money
planning.
     Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eileen Gallo, co-author of The
Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don"t
want to buy it. "You might say, "I"d rather save that money for your education,"" advises Gallo. Every time you
spend or don"t spend money, you have a chance to share your values. 1. The writer gives some basics to help _____ in a proper way. A. parents teach their children how to deal with money
B. children follow their parents" instructions
C. children manage their money
D. parents save their money 2. The writer thinks that, if a child wants to buy something, his parents should _____. A. give him some regular pocket money
B. encourage him to put money away for it
C. explain to him the importance of investment
D. tell him to save some money by using a credit card 3. The underlined word "incentive" in paragraph 6 means _____. A. honor
B. praise
C. excitement
D. encouragement 4. What leads the writer to write this article? A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.
B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.
C. He thinks money management the most important for children.
D. Parents care little about their children"s management of money.

阅读理解。     Who is there among us who hasn"t dreamed of having his or her own small (maybe, several years later),
even big business, and having wonderful freedom, both from a boss and from the time clock ; the freedom
to make up our own rules for our work, and our own plans -arranging our own hours of work? That way
work would be both painless and fun. Or, so we imagine.
     Well, in fact it isn"t quite as simple as that. Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that
you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business. But in those early years of
starting your own business. you shouldn"t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month"s vacation.
It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off,
that day might need to be devoted to accounting (算账).
     But this negative picture doesn"t destroy the beautiful hopes. The possibility of getting something wonderful
in return-both material and mental-continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses
each yearin the United States. 1. From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes _____. A. to rule others

阅读理解。     The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood
comedy (喜剧), that is exactly what happens. Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man
who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical (典型的) American way of life, except for
one thing－he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different
from the nation"s leader is that he is very nice!
     The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to
"serve his country" by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave
ends up acting as the President forever.
     Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and
Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is
an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double
performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story
that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic (经典).
     The film is 100% American. However, if you"ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the
country than the people in power, then you"ll enjoy Dave! 1. What is the purpose of the text? A. To tell the reader about the American government.
B. To discus the Americans" ideas about the President.
C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D. To introduce a new film to the reader. 2. Who plays the role of the President in the film? A. Sigourney Weaver.
B. Kevin Kline.
C. Bill Mitchell.
D. Ivan Reitman. 3. The underlined word "one" in the 2rd paragraph refers to _____. A. the President

     Sitting is art that isn"t getting passed along People these days feel as though they have to be doing
something If they are not working, they are jogging, or playing tennis or golf, or taking Courses to
improve their minds or bodies -or they are parked in front of the TV. Sitting in front of the TV isn"t
sitting-it"s watching.
     People used to sit a whole lot. You would walk down the street or drive down the road, and there
they would be, out on the doorsteps, sitting. You could go down to the store and sit on the bench out
front in the Summer or around the fire in the winter. There were sitting benches out in the town square.
At the garage, there were straight-backed chairs. There among the oilcans and tries and spare parts, you
could kick back and sit.
     Houses used to have sitting rooms, where the grown ups would go after Sunday dinner. Mom and
Dad, Grandpa and Aunt Ruby would sit and digest (消化) the fried chicken and talk about Aunt Ethel"s
illness, and how well the minister did today. Outside, the children would play, and the afternoon would
pass by in a comfortable haze (悠闲的氛围).
     That sort of thing looks like doing nothing. A recharging battery (正充电的电池) doesn"t look as if
it"s doing anything either. Sitting restores your soul. if you want to enjoy a truly full life, don"t just do
something-sit there.

阅读理解。     The first reality TV show in the world was called Expedition Robinson and it was shown in Sweden in
1997. Half the population of the country watched the final event and a new kind of TV program was born.
Two years later in Holland, the first series of Big Brother was filmed. Again, it was a great success and the
final program was watched by 15 million people. Now more than 20 countries around the world have Big
Brother or Expedition Robinson on their TV screens. The ordinary people who take part in the programs
are known by millions of people in their own countries and reality TV has become big, big business.
     For the TV producers, reality TV is a dream which come true because many of the programs cost nothing
to make. At some point, the television viewers (观众) are asked to telephone the program to vote or to apply
to take part in the show. It is the cost of these telephone calls that pays for the shows. One of the most
popular shows is Pop Idol. In the show, a group of attractive young people are made into pop stars. TV
viewers vote for their favorite person on the show. The winner makes a record and millions of copies of the
record are sold. His or her pictures are published on the covers of magazines or on the front pages of
newspapers, and then, they are quickly forgotten.
     But not everyone is happy about reality TV. In Portugal, two TV channels got into trouble because they
showed too much of the personal lives of the people in the shows. In France, reality TV is called "rubbish
TV" and the TV studios of Big Brother were attacked three times in one week. In Greece, Big Brother was
described as "against human rights and civilization". 1. Those who take part in reality TV shows are usually _____.A. common people
B. pop TV Stars
C. attractive people
D. famous film stars 2. Who would pay for the cost of reality TV shows according to the passage? A. TV producers who make reality TV shows.

C. Rubbish TV is one of the personal reality TV shows in the world.
