A
“I am not an American,” mark twain (1835-1910) once said, “I am the American.”
He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’ Neill called him “the father of American literature”.
Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read the adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined.
The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure.
More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the ha rder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter.
Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly.
For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines… We have gone there to conquer.”
He also believed strongly in wo men’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.
“Tom was a glittering hero once more –the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” Twain writes in Tom Sawyer. But he could just as well be describing himself.

A. it’s not worth all the praise

I was lucky enough to have a chance to study in the United States as an international student from the Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school,West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.
I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.
And the moment the word “international”flew out of my mouth, i was surrounded by thirty people who were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is the Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?”“Do you have McDonald’s? Does it taste the
same?”and “Say something in your language.” It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.
During the first three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”
One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally , my classmate came up to my locker and whispered, “Is that true that you are a princess(公主)and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown and waving at the crowd. What ? People do have a wild imagination!
During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world, experienced great culture, met a lot of incredible(不可思议的)people and improved my language. This trip inspired me to learn foreign languages. That is one of the reasons why I speak five different languages today.
4.On the first day of school, the author was afraid that__________.
A. she would be too shy to talk with others.
B. she could not communicate with others well.
C. she would not be able to do well in her studies
D. she would have difficulty learning a new language.
5.When the author’s classmates knew she was an international student, they
______________________.
A. made fun of her
B. prepared a special gift for her
C. were eager to make friends with her
D. showed interest in her country’s culture.
6.What does the underlined word “suspiciously” in Para.5 probably mean?
A. Doubtfully
B. Excitedly
C. Angrily
D. Fearfully
7.What can we learn from the text?
A. The author decided to settle in the USA.
B. The author didn’t want to make herself known.
C. The author always imagined herself as a princess.
D. The author got lots of benefits through studying abroad.
C
I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.
I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job and then became a full-time journalist.
Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that-even if that excitement can come with pain and frustration.
I have lost count of the numbers of emails I have had ignored. I have spent hours at meeting listening as hard as I could for a story-only to go home empty-handed.
Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find a woman who(my editor had told me )“woke in the night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story…then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which no name on it, only 100 words long.
Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going, if you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.
I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, increasing a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas, and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was publish, the residents phoned me, full of joy. The managers had apologized and promised to change their ways.
Journalism can be dangerous and boring , with long and unpredictable work hours. And the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. B ut it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making difference and telling the world about it. 8．What is the article mainly about?
A. Getting started in a career in journalism.
B. The author’s colorf ul experiences as journalist.
C. How you can be a good journalist.
D. Why life is easier for male journalist. 9．According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from .
A. unfair treatment
B. fruitless efforts
C. misunderstanding
D. dangerous and risks
10．What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that .
A. she gets to see her name printed
B. she earns a lot through writing fun stories
C. she can meet different people and her their stories
D. sh e can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives
11．From the article we can conclude that the author .
A. is not good at keeping secrets
B. does not mind the challenges in her career
C. is not appreciated by her editor
D. is interested in exciting and dangerous work
D
Do you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so? Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out, but perhaps not in the way that you think.
According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, the best strategy isn’t offering money; it’ giving someone money, then threatening to take it away.
Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7,000 steps every day over 13 weeks.
To motivate the people who took part to reach the goal, researchers divided them into three groups. People in the first group received $1.40(9 yuan ) each day as long as they finished 7,000 steps, the second group was only able to collect the $1.40 if they had reached 7,000 steps the day before, and the third group was given $42 at the beginning of each month and $1.40 was taken away every time someone failed to meet the goal.
The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the other two groups, showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losing money.
“People are more motivated by losses than gains, and they like immediate gratification.” study author Dr Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the US, told CNN.” They want to be rewarded today, not next year or far into the future.”
Our brains tend to avoid wanting to lose things more than they try to get the benefits from gaining them, Patel explained. “It makes people think like the mon ey is theirs to lose from day one.”
In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only the motivated will stay involved, Patel said.
“In ours, we were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed.” he added.
The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentive（奖励）,but also how you think about them. This is important to how effective they are. The evidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in the future, according to the study.
“Incentives themselves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health and wellness consultant with the Aonplc corporation, told The Wall Street Journal.” It’s really important to change up the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”
12．According to Dr Mitesh Patel, the third group did better than the other two groups mostly because .
A. they were satisfied with being paid immediately
B. they did not want the money they had gained to be taken away
C. they were able to get more money than the other two groups
D. they were given money at first while the others were not
13．By mentioning other similar programs, Dr Mitesh Patel intended to .
A. prove that their program has been more successful
B. show that motivation mattered more in other programs
C. stress that they didn’t expert the result
D. make a further comparison between these programs
14．What can we infer from Stephanie Pronk’s words?
A. Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit
B. Incentives and ways in which they are given are key to fitness programs
C. People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives
D. There are many ways to get people to feel motivated to work out more
15．We can learn from the study that for incentives to work .
A. more benefits than losses should be obvious for participants
B. direct profits should be given rather than long-term ones
C. designers need to consider how people think about incentives
D. designers need to work out the right from of motivation

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Like it or not, there will be difficult times in our lives. You might lose your job, fail in your exams or have an illness. 16 Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.
1.Have faith.
17 No matter how bad the situation is, things will turn out to be good in the end. Several years ago I failed to get my master’s degree. It was a really bad experience. 18 It was of much better quality than my previous university. Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.
2.Be around supportive people.
Going through difficult times is hard, and going through them alone is even harder. You need a group of positive people who can support you. 19 If yo u don’t, my suggestion is to start looking for one. Don’t wait until you need it, because it will be too late by then. You need the community before difficult times come.
3. Help others.
An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people. It pushes you to help others and, therefore, think about other people. 20
As a result, your situation won’t look as bad as it would be otherwise. Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention. Shifting（移开）some of your attention a way will put the situation in a better view.
A. Your community helps a lot.
B. Whatever it is, it’s important not to lose hope.
C.However, I changed my attitude towards failure.
D.In this way you shift your focus away from yourself.
E.But I got a scholarship at an overseas university later.
F.You must believe that things will work out well eventually.
G.You should become part of a community that cares for one another.

Dear friends,
I am honored to deliver a closing speech on behalf of all the Chinese
students in the camp. As we know, the camp is made up of thirty students from several countries. Before I came to Canada, I had made careful preparations for this camp. However, I still experienced some unexpected challenges, such as the difficulty in making myself understood, talking with strangers and dealing with culture shock. With great patience and kindness, the organizers helped me out. The four weeks in the camp has changed me greatly. Not only did i improve my oral English, but I also made lifelong friendships. Most importantly, I became more confident. So now I would like to express my great thanks to all the people who contributed to the camp.
That’s all. Thank you for listening.

Lorna, 16, rushed across and caught up with her dad, who had just kicked open the front door. They looked upstairs where they saw smoke coming out of the top flat. Lorna followed her father into the flat, where they found a pan on fire in the kitchen and the young mother, Mane Linn, who had been asleep, lost consciousness in the smoke-blackened sitting room. Lorna’s dad threw a wet cloth over the pan and then turned off the stove before starting to help Mane through the smoke down the stairs to safety. Suddenly Mane started crying, “My baby, my baby!” “Where’s the baby?” asked Lorna. “In the bedroom,” Mane shouted back. While John pulled the crying mother from the house, Lorna, without a thought for her own safety, turned back to search for the baby. She found the little girl, 14-month-old Ann lying with her eyes closed. Lorna quickly took the baby, rushed downstairs through the fire and smoke. “It didn’t cross my mind at the time that I was near to dying when I rushed through the smoke,” said Lorna. “I was just thinking of the baby. Even after I came out of the house, I wasn’t frightened.” When help arrived, baby Ann and her mum were taken to hospital for treatment. It was only when Lorna got back into the saf ety of her own house that she realized the danger she had faced. “I started shaking all over and thought of what could have happened to me,” she said. 1.

荥阳高中2017-1018学年上学期实验班 阶段性测试（四）高二英语 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A “I am not an American,” mark twain (1835-1910) once said, “I am the American.” He had good reason to say so. A Nobel winner in literature, US playwright Eugene O’ Neill called him “the father of American literature”. Twain is someone Americans are taught to love. Older relatives, English teachers and the media often praise him. But when you actually take the time to read the adventures of Tom Sawyer, which was first published 140 years ago, you find that his work is more wonderful than you could ever have imagined. The novel describes a young boy named Tom Sawyer growing up in a small town along the Mississippi River. He explores the countryside on a riverboat with his friends, falls in love with girls, starts secret clubs and searches for treasure. Twain’s idea of childhood is magical – a time of imagination, wonder and, of course, adventure. More importantly, through the eyes of Tom Sawyer, Twain cleverly makes fun of US culture. For example, Tom hates going to church, and Twain uses Tom to make fun of religion and its old traditions. “Often, the less there is to justify a traditional custom, the ha rder it is to get rid of it,” he writes in one chapter. Twain’s writing is full of these kinds of critical points about culture and politics. That’s why he is so loved in the US –he wasn’t afraid to state his opinions, and he did so clearly. For instance, Twain didn’t like US wars abroad. In 1900, after the US invaded the Philippines, Twain wrote in a newspaper article: “We do not intend to free, but to subjugate the people of the Philippines… We have gone there to conquer.” He also believed strongly in wo men’s right to vote in elections and gave a famous speech on the subject, called “Votes for Women”, in 1901.
