I learned to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned fromit is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.I learned to love the journey,not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you willlive it with joy and passion(激情)as it ought to be lived.5.The best title of this passage probably is “”.A.Love Your FriendsB.Live a Real LifeC.Don’t Waste TimeD.Be a Good Mother and Wife答案 B6.By the underlined sentence “It is so easy to exist instead of to live” in the fifth paragraph,theauthor really means that people tend to .A.make

others.B.Earn enough money to make life better.C.Try your best to get higher position and pay.D.Don’t let it affect your real life.答案 D8.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.the author is a success in personal lifeB.the author didn’t try her best to work wellC.the author spent all her time caring for her childrenD.the author likes traveling very much答案 ACMy father was a foreman of a sugar-cane plantation in Rio Piedras,Puerto Rico.My first job was to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fields.I would walk behind an ox,guiding him with a broomstick.For $1 a day,I worked eight hoursstraight,with no food breaks.It was very tedious work,but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons.Because the plantation owners were always watching us,I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could.I’ve never been late for any job since.I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for.More important,I earned my pay;it never entered my mind to say I wassick just because I didn’t want to work.I was only six years old,but I was doing a man’s job.Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $18 a week.Our home was a three-room wood shack with a dirty floor and no toilet.Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother,father,two brothers and three sisters.This gave me self-esteem(自尊心),one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven,I got work at a golf course near our house.My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed,so the golfers could find them.Losing a ball meant you were fired,so I never missed one.Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golfand being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed,the more I thought.Why not?I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝)and a piece of pipe.Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball.And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth.I practiced with the same devotion and intensity.I learned working in the field—except now I was driving golf balls with club,not oxen with a broomstick.9.The writer’s first job was .A.to stand down the fairway at a golf courseB.to watch over the sugar-cane plantationC.to drive the oxen that ploughed the cane fieldsD.to spot the balls as they landed so the golfers could find them答案 C10.The word “tedious” in Paragraph 2 most probably means .A.difficultB.boringC.interestingD.unusual答案B11. gave the writer self-esteem.A.Having a family of eight peopleB.Owning his own golf courseC.Bringing money back home to help the familyD.Helping his father with the work on the plantation答案 C12.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.He wanted to be a successful golfer.B.He wanted to run a golf course near his house.C.He was satisfied with the job he got on a plantation.D.He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.答案ADIt’s hardly surprising that weather is a favorite topic for so many people around the world—it affects where we choose to live,what we wear,our moods,and perhaps even our national characteristics.Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate,cloudy skies slow down reaction,andhigh humidity with hot,dry winds make many people bad-tempered.If you live in a place like Britain,where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly,you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random.In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe.In the UK the weather depends on depressions,often called lows,and anticyclones,also known as highs.These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean,and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east.Highs bring sunny weather,while lows bring rain and wind.In modern times,human activities seem to be altering weather patterns.Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth’s surface,and affect cloud formation.Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been oneof the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.The human race has always tried to guess the weather,especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes.Traditional rhymes point to earlyattempts to identify weather patterns,popular poems include:Red sky at night,shepherds’ delight;red sky in the morning,shepherds’warning.Flies will swarm before a storm.Rain before 7,clear by 11.While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather,today’s methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology.Satellites,balloons,ships,aircrafts and weather centers with sensitive monitoring equipment,send data to computers.The data is then processed,and the weather is predicted.However,even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.13.When weather keeps changing, .A.people become bad-temperedB.people’s reaction slows downC.people find it hard to focus on their workD.people become hungrier答案C14.The weather in Britain is .A.randomB.moistC.depressingD.satisfying答案A15.According to a traditional rhyme,if there is a red sky at night,the next daywill be .A.windyB.rainyC.fineD.snowy答案C16.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.B.Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.C.Weather could never be predicted.D.Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.答案BⅣ.短文填词阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：（1）汉语提示，（2）首字母提示，（3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。
