举一反三
Whether she will reach the fifth grade is another matter. Fatimah is facing the realities of a school with no toilet, no water, no hope of privacy (隐私) other than the shadow of a bush, and no girlfriends with whom to share feelings. Fatimah is the only girl of the 23 students in her class. In fact, in a school of 178 students, she is one of the only three girls who have made it past the third grade.
“I have no friend in the class,” she said. “Most of my friends have dropped out to get married. So during the break, I just sit in the classroom and read.”
Her father, however, now says he is fully behind her. “The people from the government are all the time telling us to send our daughters to school, and I am listening to these people,” he said.
But in many cases, parents don’t listen. Parents think that if the girls stay home, they can help with the harvesting, fetch the water and collect the firewood. So they take them out of school.
In a region where poverty, tradition and ignorance make about 24 million girls not even have an elementary school education. There are many other barriers (障碍) that prevent girls going to school, such as the lack of school toilets and water.
The issue is not only equality. The World Bank thinks that if women in sub-Saharan Africa had equal education, land and other wealth, the region’s economy could improve greatly. There is a connection between growth in Africa and sex equality. It is of great importance but still ignored by so many people.
小题1:The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _______.
| A．find the cause of Africa’s poverty |
| B．describe the poor education conditions of African girls |
| C．prove the inequality in African society |
| D．reform the present schooling systems in Africa |
| A．Fatimah is a girl who shows signs of success for the future. |
| B．Fatimah’s father is now giving a lot of support to her. |
| C．Fatimah is the only girl who has made it past the fifth grade in her school. |
| D．Fatimah has no friends at school because they most of them have dropped out to get married. |
| A．most African girls are treated equally in society |
| B．African governments don’t care whether girls go to school or not |
| C．most African girls would rather get married than go to school |
| D．African girls can’t enjoy equal chances for education |
Our spiritual intelligence quotient，or SQ，helps us understand ourselves，and live fuller，
happier lives．
While we’re all born with SQ，most of us don’t even realize that we have it．Fortunately，you don"t have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ．Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding．
Sit Quietly．The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude（独处）and
silence．To tune in to your spirit，you have to turn down the volume in your busy，noisy，complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all．Start small by creating islands for silence in
your day．In the car，instead of reading or doing something else，use the time to think．At work，
shut the door to our office between meetings，take a few breaths and let them out very，very slowly．Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed．
Step Outside．For many people，nature sets their spirit free．Go outside to watch a beautiful
sunset．If you are walking with your dog，take the time to admire flowers in bloom；follow the flight of birds；watch clouds float overhead．
Ask Questions of Yourself．Ask open-ended questions，such as “What am I feeling？” “What are my choices？”or “Where am I heading？” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some
supernatural form or e-mail．“Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question，”says Reverend Joan Carter，a Presbyterian（长老会的）minister in Sausalito，California．“But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective（视角）I never considered before．”
Trust Your Spirit．While most of us rely on gut feeling（本能的反应）to realize danger，spiritual intelligence pushes us，not away from，but towards some action that will lead to a greater good．
68．The passage is mainly about_________．
A．what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit your life
B．what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved
C．the relationship between your SQ and your life
D．advantages and disadvantages of SQ
69．The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the third paragraph probably means______．
A．get your spirit relaxed B．keep up your spirit
C．keep seated quietlyD．change your spirit
70．The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that_________．
A．there are no immediate answers to your questions
B．e-mails can’t keep working out a problem
C．the more questions you ask，the better answers you’ll get
D．changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem
71．From the passage，we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is________．
A．a peaceful mind B．deep thought
C．spare time and hobbies D．good spirits

I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a 16 opponent(对手). The score was 20 to 17 in her 17 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20.

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项（A、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项。
Everyone has their friends, but I knew one girl who didn"t. I guess you could call her a geek, because all she did was reading, studying, and doing homework. I don"t think she even played a sport. She was one of those quiet people who no one really paid attention to, and
those who did only made fun of her. I had heard all kinds of rumors (谣言) that she had problems, but I didn"t really believe them. I felt bad for her.
My friends and I were nice to her. We let her sit at our lunch table and we often said "Hi" to her, but she wasn"t our best friend. Throughout the year, she started talking to us more and more. We continued being kind to her. She was normal as far as I was concerned (就我而言). She was just really quiet.
That summer I got a letter. When I opened it, I realized it was from her. “I just wanted to thank you so much for being so extremely kind and friendly to me this year. Before you
became my friend, I had no one to talk to or sit with at lunch. I even wanted to kill myself. But you and your friends changed that. You made me feel wanted and included. It meant so much to me. I am going to be moving and switching to another school next year. I"ll never forget you and what you did."
By the time I finished the letter, I was in shock. I could not believe what I had just read. I learned that the simplest things and the smallest acts of kindness can mean the world to someone else.
56. What kind of person does the underlined word "geek" in Para1 probably refer to?
A. A confident and hardworking student.
B. A dishonest and badly behaved person.
C. Someone is not popular and does strange things
D. Someone is naughty and always makes fun of others.
57. How did the girl feel before the author became her friend？
A. Happy and comfortable. B. Pleased and confident.
C. Worried and surprised. D. Sad and lonely.
58. From the passage, we learn that the author and her friends ______.
A. helped get the girl out of trouble B. got the girl to go to another school
C. changed the girl’s the habit of working hard D. didn"t want to help the girl at all
59. What"s the best title for the passage？

C. A Girl without Any Problems D. Just the littlest Things

This morning, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, Nikko, which immediately changed this bright sunny day into a dark terrible pit of endless sorrow. He told me that Diane’s dad had just 36 , at 12:00 on January 3,2008.
Nikko told me that Diane had 37 everything about her dad on her blog, so I 38 right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so 39 and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief.
She must have been writing with 40 streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so 41 from the sleepless night, and with a heart so 42 and regretful and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will, 43 strength and love. She showed no 44 of weakness and retreat. She 45 that she didn’t notice how her father was feeling before the sudden stroke (中风) 46 him on his sleep. I feel so sorry for her , as her close friend, that I am not able to give her my support and a shoulder to 47 because I live so far away. But I know she will be 48 . She had determined to become the pillar(支柱) of 49 for her mom and her brother.
Although Diane’s father is no longer 50 , his memories would always be with his family. I gave Diane my deepest condolence（吊唁）for her 51 of her most beloved one.
I have known Diane and her family ever since we were in primary school. 52 can be really cruel sometimes, 53 someone or something you have learned to love and rely on. A(n) 54 death like Diane’s father is the most sorrowful. Destiny didn’t even give his family the 55 to say their last goodbyes.
Diane wanted everyone to cherish their loved ones and do not wait until it’s already too late. Tell them you love them and let them know how you feel before it’s too late.
