题型:不详难度:来源:
My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and       those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again         brother and me around before the ship was out of        , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of         in with the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing        , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my brother and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while         some type of part-time job. Leaving a         career is just one of the sacrifices which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so. While she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother, somehow, managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and comfortable.
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,         with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to         a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this       into adventure for us all! Each relocation (变换位置) was a chance to       another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a         to rearrange furniture, make curtains and         pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a         attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so       all those years during my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my heroine.

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
The dirty, homeless man sat on the pavement, staring at the stones. He thought back more than twenty years to when he was a boy living in a small red brick house on this very street. He recalled the flower garden, the swing his dad made, and the bike he had saved up for months to buy.
The man shrugged impatiently, for the brightness of those pictures hurt him, and his memory traveled on another ten years. He had a job by then, plenty of friends and started to come home less. He did not really want to remember those years, nor the day when, because of debts, he had gone home planning to ask for money. He felt embarrassed, but he knew exactly where his dad kept the money. When his parents stepped out of the room, he took what he wanted and left.
That was the last time he had seen them. Ashamed, he went abroad, and his parents knew nothing about the years of wandering or time in prison. But locked in his cell he often thought of home. Once free, he would love to see his parents again, if they were still alive, and still wanted to see him.
When his prison time was up, he found a job, but couldn’t settle. Something was drawing him home. He did not want to arrive penniless, so he hitchhiked most of the long journey back. But less than a mile from his destination he started to feel sick with doubt. Could they ever accept this man who had so bitterly disappointed them?
He spent most of that day sitting under a tree. That evening he posted a letter which, although short, had taken him hours to write. It ended with:
I know it is unreasonable of me to suppose you want to see me ... so it’s up to you. I’ll come early Thursday morning. If you want me home, hang a white handkerchief in the window of my old bedroom. If it’s there, I’ll come in; if not, I’ll wave good-bye and go.
And now it was Thursday morning and he was sitting on the pavement at the end of the street. Finally he got up and walked slowly toward the old house. He drew a long breath and looked.
His parents were taking no risks. ________________________________________

The United States economy has dipped into economic recession (经济衰退). This caused discomfort and hardship in every level of society; but for many of the nation’s poor, discomfort and hardship turned into misery (苦难).
An increase in homelessness is probably the worst result of a nation’s financial disaster. About 3 million Americans were homeless because of a lack of affordable housing. Experts suggest that a family should spend no more than 30 percent of its income on housing. In fact, in some families housing costs make up 50 percent or more. An unexpected event, such as losing work or illness, can quickly push a family into homelessness.
An article in Time magazine tells a story of one such family. A young couple and their three children rented a two-bedroom apartment for about $350 a month. They could hardly go on with the husband’s $920-a-month take-home pay; so when their rent was raised to $500 a month, they could no longer make ends meet.
Another woman was found dead on a street in Washington D.C., the capital, and she died at a bus-stop across the street from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development.
People become homeless for different reasons. Some may not be able to pay for housing, because they have lost their job and cannot find another place they can afford. Others have mental diseases, or are addicted to drugs or alcohol, many of whom do not live with their family. And what’s more, there are not enough centers for shelter as the government doesn’t pay enough attention to this social problem. 
People are making efforts to solve the problem. However, it will not be easy, because it is a personal and economical problem as well as a social problem.
小题1:The passage is mainly about __________ in the US.
A.ways of solving economic problems
B.homeless people being taken good care of
C.different reasons for economic recession
D.economic recession leading to social problems
小题2:In the passage the author supported his view by __________.
A.presenting specific figuresB.giving examples
C.explaining in detailsD.discussing different opinions
小题3: One main result that economic recession has led to is __________
A.an increase of living costsB.more and more deaths
C.an increase of homeless peopleD.less centers for poor people
小题4:How many reasons why people become homeless are listed in the passage?
A.2.B.3.C.4.D.5.

Self-confidence is an attitude which allows individuals to have positive yet realistic views of themselves and their situations. Self-confident people trust their own abilities, have a general sense of control in their lives, and believe that,within reason, they will be able to do what they wish., plan., and expect. Having self-confidence does not mean that individuals will be able to do everything. Self-confident people have expectations that are realistic. Even when some of their expectations are not met,they continue to be positive and to accept themselves.
People who are not self-confident depend too much on the approval of others in order to feel good about themselves. They tend to avoid taking risks because they fear failure. They generally do not expect to be successful. They often put themselves down and tend to ignore compliments(赞美)paid to them By contrast,self-confident people are willing to risk the disapproval of others because they generally trust their own abilities. They tend to accept themselves;they don"t feel they have to conform in order to be accepted.
Many factors affect the development of self-confidence. Parents" attitudes are crucial to children"s feelings about themselves,particularly in children"s early years. When parents pro- vide acceptance, children receive a solid foundation for good feelings about themselves. If one or both parents are much to critical or demanding, or if they are overprotective and discourage children"s moves toward independence, children may come to believe they are unqualified or inadequate.
Surprisingly, lack of self-confidence is not necessarily related to lack of ability. Instead it is often the result of focusing too much on the unrealistic expectations or standards of others, especially parents and society. Friends" influences can be as powerful or more powerful than those of parents and society in shaping feelings of one"s self. Students in their college years reexamine values and develop their own identities and thus are particularly sensitive to the influence of friends.
小题1:Paragraph 1 mainly talks about____.
A.the sources of self-confidence
B.the benefits of self-confidence
C.the development of self-confidence
D.the lack of self-confidence
小题2:In Paragraph 2,the underlined word "conform" probably means“_______”.
A.refuseB.separateC.permitD.obey
小题3:According to the passage, self-confident people tend to____.
A.be practicalB.control others
C.avoid risksD.depend on others
小题4:Which of the following can we learn about self-confidence according to the passage?
A.Self-confidence is usually the symbol of special abilities.
B.Parents" protection prevents children"s self-confidence development.
C.Parents and friends matter in building one"s self-confidence.
D.College students are the least self-confident group in society.
小题5:What might the author most probably continue to talk about in the following passage?
A.How we can become more acceptable.
B.Lack of self-confident has many side effects.
C.What self-confident children usually get from parents.
D.What one should avoid in building self-confidence.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six - year – old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.“Can we write him a letter?”
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the mailman go there?” I asked.
“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six - year - old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went out-side and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.“Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.”The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he’d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on. I prayed to be a balloon.
