But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said: “To be is to be in relations.” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity(强烈) of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned --- poetry and prose(散文), music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs ---you are dead.
On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest --- even more, a new accomplishment(成就) --- you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China. If you’re interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people. If you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be --- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, which depends on ourselves. Let us widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let us live!

解析
试题分析:本文讲述的一种新的生存理念“To be is to be in relations.”也就是对与外面的世界保持联系,不要孤立也不要隔离。
小题1:D 主旨大意题。作者在本文中以“To be or not to be.”开头,引起了一个讨论,并介绍了关于存在的另外一个说法 “To be is to be in relations.”也就是对与外面的世界保持联系,不要孤立也不要隔离。故D正确。
小题2:C 推理题。根据本句. No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy. The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.没有一个对本题事物感兴趣的人是不快乐的。真正不快乐的是那些对一切都失去兴趣的人,他们总是预料这最不好的事情发生。这样的人总是很悲观,所以他们很不快乐。故C正确。
小题3:B 推理题。根据文章第三段前4行But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too. Where your thoughts are, there will be your life too. If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live a narrow restricted(有限的, 受约束的) life可知这些人只关注自己的问题,他们的生活就被约束住了。故B项只关注自己,这是作者不鼓励的生活方式。故B正确。
小题4:A 主旨大意题。本文讲述的一种新的生存理念“To be is to be in relations.”也就是对与外面的世界保持联系,不要孤立也不要隔离。故A正确。
点评:本文讲述的一种新的生存理念“To be is to be in relations.”也就是对与外面的世界保持联系,不要孤立也不要隔离。要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上,做出一定判断和推论,从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理题所涉及的内容可能是文中某一句话,也可是某几句话,但做题的指导思想都是以文字信息为依据,既不能做出在原文中找不到文字根据的推理,也不能根据表面文字信息做多步推理,要根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案。

But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 36 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter ,we 37 seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 38 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 39 . When we read or write something ,we do much more than simple look at words on a page. We use our 40--which is real—and our imagination—which is real in a different way --- to make the words come to life in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy(幻想) 41 the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 42 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we 43 that we are real and they are 44 . It sounds 45 ,but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 46 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by 47 that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 48 when we are reading. We pick up a book and lose 49 in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 50 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person"s life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.
小题1:________ leads to people"s deeper understanding of health.
A.Common knowledge |
B.Progress in scientific research |
C.Better conditions of living |
D.Quality of life |
A.people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer |
B.people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental health |
C.people have realized the importance of mental well-being |
D.people are inspired by medical advances |
A.nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because of improvements in the quality of food |
B.the overall quality of people"s lives improved greatly in the 20th century |
C.those who never fall ill are the truly healthy people |
D.those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now |
A.different understandings of the term "health" |
B.improving the quality of life |
C.the importance of quality living |
D.people"s expectations of a long and healthy life |
That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone’s life?
Today I looked up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read “a person who does something brave” and also “a person who is good and noble”.
That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very important. And I remembered what happened to me years ago.
After my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become "heroes".
小题1:The main idea of the passage is _______________.
A.why the writer should be a hero | B.that everyone is a hero |
C.whether the writer is a hero | D.what a hero exactly is |
A.Because he asked her son not to kill himself. |
B.Because he saved a family from a burning car. |
C.Because his story saved her son’s life. |
D.Because he was cute and kind to everybody. |
A.The fact that the sender helped the writer. |
B.The action of sending the card. |
C.The wonderful card the writer received. |
D.The fact that the sender was a friend of the writer. |
A.A person who is brave. |
B.A person who helps someone in trouble. |
C.A person who can hold a door for others. |
D.A person who writes wonderful stories. |
I first moved to Foxboro, Massachusetts, as a single mother with my baby daughter, Darcy. I was drawn to its New England beauty, friendly people and rich history. It happened that there were a lot of forsythia(连翘) bushes around the house in which I lived just like my childhood home. I joined St. Mark’s Episcopal Church where I taught the Sunday school. At church, I met my second husband, Dean. For more than 25 years, I bloomed in Foxboro, and I had another two children.
Then, when Darcy was a few years out of college, she moved to Alameda, California, to be near friends. I missed her badly. A year later my beloved husband Dean had deadly cancer. He only made it eight months. My heart was broken. Later I moved to Alameda with my children. It was a beautiful Victorian island, and I was grateful to spend more time with Darcy. I even attended a church and made a few friends there. Still, I couldn’t help but miss Foxboro. It had everything and everyone I loved.
One spring day, when I was walking by a school, something yellow caught my eyes. Forsythia bushes! They made me homesick and I kept back my tears. “I miss you, Foxboro,” I whispered. Then I went into a shop and looked at some ceramic(陶瓷的) pots lined up on a shelf. A large white one seemed to catch my attention. “That’ll be perfect in my living room,” I thought.
I turned it over to look at the price. Instead I found these words: “New England Pottery, Foxboro, Massachusetts.” A piece of artwork, from my second hometown, was right here. It was able to spread across the country and so were forsythia bushes. I took it as a sign that I can bloom, right where I am.
小题1:From the text we learn that the author ____.
A.gave birth to three children in Foxboro |
B.planted forsythia bushes around her house |
C.got to know her second husband at church |
D.worked as a middle school teacher in Foxboro |
A.have more time together with Darcy |
B.forget the sorrow at her husband’s death |
C.visit her children at Alameda College frequently |
D.enjoy the beautiful scenery on the Victorian island |
A.wanted to buy a ceramic pot to put them in |
B.thought of her life in Foxboro |
C.felt they would look great in her living room |
D.believed they were real art work |
A.Because she wanted to show she likes flowers. |
B.Because she can live in any place that is right like flowers. |
C.Because she moved across the country just like flowers. |
D.Because girls are like flowers that are blooming. |
They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the differences between friendship and love? Is platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? ___小题1:____
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way. ___小题2: ___ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things are automatically understood by our friends.
__小题3:____ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends(超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element. ____小题4:____ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. ___小题5:_____ You will not feel totally lost, if you don’t meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friend. But in love, you will do all this and much more. Indeed, there is no comparison between love and friendship.
A.What about love? |
B.My answer is “Yes”. |
C.Let us try and understand. |
D.Friendship does not have that. |
F.You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.
G.The physical element may include hand in hand while walking.
