解析

试题分析:
小题1:从下文My hero is my mother. When she was diagnosed(诊断)with breast cancer,可以看出得了癌症的时间肯定是艰难的日子,故选 D。
小题2:从I didn’t understand how she could appear so healthy 可以看出作者不能相信自己的母亲得了癌症,因为她看起来很健康,所以作者知道了这病后感觉非常吃惊,故选A。温馨提醒:shocked 震惊的;discouraged气馁的;disappointed失望的;hurt受伤的。
小题3:我不理解如此健康的一个人,而却她得了一种致命的疾病。空格前后是对比关系故选C。温馨提醒:but表示前后是转折关系;though尽管,引导让步状语从句;since自从。
小题4:go up上升,增长; go through通过,经受;  go away 走开;go off离开,进行。句意:
我母亲通过做乳房切除术来切除癌细胞,故选B。
小题5:worry sb使某人担心;impress sb感动某人;benefit from得益于;depend on依靠 。根据She is a strong woman.和 remained optimistic(乐观的)可以看出作者的母亲很坚强,所以这一点令作者很感动,故选B。
小题6:complain抱怨;mind 介意;move移动,感动;speak说话。根据remained optimistic(乐观的) 作者的母亲抱着乐观的态度,所以这里应该说她从不抱怨,故选A。
小题7:question询问; explain解释;understand理解;learn学习,认识到。根据why she had got cancer.可以判断母亲从来没有询问过为什么她得了癌症,故选A。
小题8:welcome欢迎; receive收到; change改变;accept接受。母亲不抱怨自己得了癌症,而是接受了现实,故选 D。

小题12:respect尊敬; opinion意见; gift礼物; job工作 几周过后我更加尊敬我的母亲。故选A
小题13:think认为,想起; know 知道;realize认识到; understand理解。温馨提醒:realize作为及物动词,可以表达“认识到;了解”的意思还可以表示“实现;完成”的意思。understand理解更深刻,这里就是说作者多于母亲平时的日常家务,以前的时候没有意识到有多么重要。只有在自己做起家务来才意识到这些。故选C。
小题14:像打扫卫生、洗衣、做饭、开支这些简单的家务就成了我的负担或麻烦,故选C
小题15:根据They stopped by on a regular basis ,cooked meals, and supplied us with anything…可以看出这些人尽他们的最大努力去帮助我们。所以他们做了最多了,这里把more 放在否定句里,表示最多的意思,故选 D。

举一反三
I had applied for the nuclear(核)submarine(潜艇) program, and Admiral Rickover was interviewing me for the job. It was the first time I met Admiral Rickover, and we sat in a large room by ourselves for more than two hours, and he let me choose any subjects I wished to discuss. Very carefully, I chose those about which I knew most at the time – recent events, seamanship, music, literature, naval tactics(海军战术), electronics, gunnery(射击学) – and he began to ask me a lot of questions that were more difficult. Every time after my answers, he soon showed that I knew rather little about the subjects I had chosen.
He always looked right into my eyes, and he never smiled. I was saturated with cold sweat.
Finally, he asked me a question and I thought it was my turn to show myself off. He said, “How did you stand in your class at Georgia Tech before entering Annapolis as a first year student?” I had done very well, and I threw my chest with pride and answered, “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!” I sat back to wait for the congratulations – which never came. Instead, the question: “Did you do your best?” I started to say, “Yes, sir,” but I remembered who this was, and thought of several of my times at the Academy when I could have learned more about our allies(二战时的同盟国), our enemies, weapons strategy(战略) and so on, so I finally said, “No, Sir, I didn’t always do my best.”
He looked at me for a long time, and then turned his chair around to end the interview. He asked one final question, which I have never been able to forget – or to answer. He said, “Why not?” I sat there for a while, shaken, and then slowly left the room.
小题1:The passage suggests that ___.
A.the atmosphere of the interviews was very serious
B.the author always did his best in doing everything
C.the author and Admiral Rickover were good friends
D.Admiral Rickover knew the author quite well
小题2:The word “saturated” in the second paragraph may probably mean ___.
A.very satisfiedB.completely wetC.rather sadD.too excited
小题3:When the author said: “Sir, I stood thirty-ninth in a class of 820!’’ He meant __.
A.he did better than most of his classmates at the Academy
B.he had 820 classmates and he was Number thirty-nine
C.he was proud that the class he was in was very large
D.in the class only thirty-nine students stood in front of him

Human wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, he dreams of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.
The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of wants is food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as cars and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “life-enriching” level. While the other levels mean physical satisfaction—the feeding, comfort, safety and transportation of the human body—this level means mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?
A fifth level probably would be wants that can be achieved by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes and crime. After filling our stomachs, our garages, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health and safety to enjoy more fully the good things on the first three levels.
小题1:According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when _______
A.he has saved up enough money
B.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C.he has satisfied his hunger
D.he has learned to build houses
小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans ______
A.were very rich
B.were very poor
C.Had the good things on the first three levels
D.didn’t own cars
小题3:Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?
A.A successful careerB.A comfortable house
C.A good serviceD.A family car
小题4:The author thinks that a fifth level______
A.would be a little better than the fourth level
B.may be a lot more desirable than the first four
C.can be the last and most satisfying level
D.will come true if the government takes actions

A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” his father answered, “When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple and causes oxidation. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.” The boy asked, “ Daddy, what are you talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.
小题1: In the beginning, the author tells the story of a boy and his father to ____.
A.show that the father is very knowledgeable
B.say something interesting about apples
C.introduce the subject of the passage
D.show that children nowadays ask more questions
小题2: How did the boy feel when he heard his father’s explanation?
A.He admired his father very much.
B.He knew what his father meant.
C.He thought that he had learned a lot from his father.
D.He felt it was difficult to understand.
小题3: What do Dr. Leo Buscaglia’s words mean?
A.We must make right choices as often as possible.
B.We can search the answers when enjoying life itself.
C.People have many desires when they enter the world.
D.It is hard to lead a happy and satisfying life.
小题4: What can be concluded from the passage?
A.We should learn from our mistakes and try again.
B.We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions.
C.It is very important to try to avoid mistakes.
D.It is our duty to make the world a better place.
小题5: What is the style of the passage?
A. novel       B. news     C. essay     D poem

Honesty comes in many forms. First there’s self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I’m not. I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA(personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. “Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else. ” Then there’s honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you’ve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can’t do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that
In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn’t do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I’d write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn’t thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn’t do that any more, because I wasn’t really helping them. They weren’t learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn’t helping me.
It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit(储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength.
小题1:The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the FIRST paragraph means________.
A.to be unrealB.to be honest
C.to become clearD.to come from an imagined world
小题2:Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland’s words?
A.Don’t copy others or you can’t be the first class.
B.Be your true self rather than follow others.
C.Make efforts to be the first instead of the second.
D.Don’t learn from others unless they’re excellent.
小题3:What does the author expect to show by Jeff’s story?
A.Honesty can be of great help.
B.A bad thing can be turned into a good one.
C.One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.
D.Helping others cheat can do good to nobody.
小题4:In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express________.
A.one must be brave to be honest
B.it’s difficult to be honest when others are not
C.one should be honest when making a deposit
D.honesty in one’s actions can help him in the future
