Passage 1[1]To forgive may be great,but no one ever said it was easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be very difficult to let go of your complaint(抱怨).But forgiveness (宽恕)is possible—and it can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.[2]So how do you start forgiveness? Try following these steps:[3]Calm yourself.To calm your anger,try a simple stress-management skill.“Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,someone you love,” Luskin says.[4]Don’t wait for an apology.“Many times the person who hurt you has no intention (意图)of apologizing,”Luskin says.“They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way.So if you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.”[5]Take the control away from your offender(对手).Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who cause you pain.“Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you,” Luskin says.[6]Try to see things from the other person’s view.If you understand that person,you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance,fear even love.To gain view,you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view. [7] Don’t forget to forgive yourself.“For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,”Luskin says.“But it can reduce your self-confidence if .”1.What is the best title of the passage? (no more than 10 words)plete the following statement with proper words.(no more than 8 words)If you always keep your hurt in mind,you will.3.Please fill in the blank in the last paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.(no more than 10 words)4.Which advice is the most difficult for you to follow?Why? (no more than 30 words)5.What does the underlined part“that person” (Paragraph 6)probably refer to?(no more than 6 words)答案:1.The Art of Forgiveness2.encourage the person who hurt you3.you don’t do it/you don’t forgive yourself4.Answers may vary.5.the person who once hurt youPassage 2 (2013·山东高考)[1]ean Paul Getty was born in 1892 in Minneapolis,Minnesota.He became a millionaire when he was only 24.His father was wealthy,but he did not help his son.Getty made his millions alone.He made his money from oil.He owned Getty Oil and over 100 other companies.The Fortune magazine once called Getty “the richest man in the world.”[2]But money .He married five times and divorced five times.He had five children but spent little time with them.None of Getty’s children had very happy lives.[3]Getty loved to make money and loved to save it.In spite of his great wealth,Getty was a miser.Every evening,he wrote down every cent he spent that day.He even put pay telephones in the guests’ bedrooms in his house so he could save money on phonebills.[4]In 1973,kidnappers took his 16-year-old grandson,and demanded a large amount of money for his safe return.Getty’s son asked his father for money to save his child.But Getty refused.The kidnappers were merciless and Getty’s son made repeated requests for help from his father.Finally,Getty agreed to lend the money,but at 4 percent interest.[5]Getty started a museum at his home in Malibu,California.He bought many important and beautiful pieces of art for the museum.When Getty died in 1976,the value of the collection in the museum was $1 billion.He left all his money to the museum.After his death,the museum grew in size.Today it is one of the most important museums in the United States.Getty made a large fortune in his life,but he gave his money to the art world because he wanted people to learn about and love art.76.What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?(no more than 8 words)77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words.(no more than 7 words)78.Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3.79.What did the kidnappers do to Getty’s family?(no more than 10 words)80.What does the author want to tell us about Getty in the last paragraph?(no more than 10 words)答案:76.Getty was a self-made millionaire./Getty became rich through his own efforts.77.did not buy happiness for Getty78.Although he was very rich,Getty hated to spend money.79.They took Getty’s grandson and asked for money.80.Getty made a great contribution to the art world./Getty had another side. Passage 3 (2013·江西高考)[1]Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport.People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles.In addition,they spend money on fishing equipment,bait,fuel and boat repairs.And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime.Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it.Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.[2]Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby.Firstly,of the millions of people who fish for fun,most only catch enough fish to feed their families.They catch fish that are found in large numbers,so there is little danger to the species (种类).[3]Secondly,recreational fishermen contribute to the economy.They spend money on equipment and other items,and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel.Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation(食宿)and airfares.This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year. [4]Thirdly,fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress.Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol,it is far better to go fishing.People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near—except for the smell of the bait![5]Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers,lakes,streams and oceans.This could lead to the dying out of some species.Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world,so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females,leaving few fish to produce young.[6]Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport,which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating,so they are thrown away.Once hooked,fish have no chance of escape.76.What is the main idea of the passage?(no more than 4 words)77.According to Paragraph 2,why does fishing cause little danger to the species?(no more than 8 words)78.List 4 items on which people spend their money for fishing.(no more than 7 words)79.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 5 with proper words.(no more than 4 words)Those who say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers,lakes,streams and oceans.80.What does the word “which”(Line 1,Paragraph 6) probably refer to?(no morethan 3 words)答案:76.Different views on fishing.77.Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers.78.boats,vehicles,fishing equipment,bait,fuel,boat repairs,accommodation and airfares(列出其中四项即可)79.disagree with fishing (are against fishing)80.A blood sport.Passage 4 (2013·天津高考)My name is Clara.I still remember that chilly December day,sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a TIME for Kids magazine.A piece ofnews caught my eye:NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器).Before I even knew anything else about it,a single word flooded my11-year-old mind:Curiosity.I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay.That afternoon,I raced home,sat down at the computer,and typed until my fingers ached.“Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind...”Five months later,my mom received a phone call,and immediately,a wide smile spreadacross her face.On August 5,2012,at 10:31 p.m.,the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars,and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am.I have always been fascinated bythe stars,the planets,the sky and the universe.I remember as a little girl,mygrandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours.She’d tell me storiesand point out the stars.Grandma lived in China,thousands of miles away from my homein Kansas,but the stars kept us together even when we were apart.They were always there,yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love somuch about space.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars.My answer is simple:because we’re curious.We human beings do not just hole up in one place.We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.56.How did Clara get the news about the essay contest?(no more than 10 words)57.Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA?(no more than 10 words)58.What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma?(no more than 15 words)59.What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean?(1 word)60.In your opinion,why is curiosity important?(no more than 20 words)答案:56.By reading a TIME for Kids magazine./From a TIME for Kids magazine.57.She won the essay contest held by NASA./She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”./“Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover.58.She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about the stars./Her grandma told her stories about the stars./They sat together talking about the stars.59.Stay/Remain/Live/Hide.60.Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or invention./With curiosity,we keep asking questions and exploring the unknown world./Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyondour knowledge.Passage 5 (2013·四川高考)A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60 years of walking the wards—and she hasno plans to retire.Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953—when the National Health Service (NHS) was just five years old—and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain.The diabetes (糖尿病) specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse withintwo weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts (轮班) each week. Mrs Reid said:“Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job.Working for the NHS has been my life.I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life.”Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals—including one in Scotland. Her specialist field has been diabetes for the past 40 years.She retrained after her 12-year-old daughter Michelle developed the disease.She currently works at Southend Hospital,Essex.Over the last 60 years she has treated tens of thousands of patients.Jackie believes nursing should be protected from government cuts.She said:“There’re lots of things I would say to the government.If you are going to get good care you have to have the resources (资源),you can’t do it without enough money.They shouldn’t need the cuts that there are in the NHS.It’s hard now because there’s a shortage of staff.”Jackie has lived alone in Grays,Essex,since her husband died three years ago. The couple have two daughters Michelle,50,and Karen,54.Jackie added:“My youngest daughter worries about me—she doesn’t think I should work as much as I do.I constantly say ‘don’t worry about me,I’m fine’,but she never believes me.I don’t like the thought of giving it up and will try to keep going forever.”56.In which year was the NHS set up?(within 2 words)57.What does Jackie think of nursing?(within 6 words)58.When did Jackie retrain in the field of diabetes?(within 6 words)59.What does Jackie wish the government to do?(within 7 words)60.Why does Jackie’s daughter worry about her?(within 8 words)答案:56.In 1948.57.It’s hard but she loves it.58.After her daughter developed diabetes.59.Not to make cuts in nursing.60.Because she thinks her mother works too hard.。

Passage 1It all began with...Orlando Bloom was not a “good” student at school.Because of dyslexia,a reading and writing disorder(障碍),he struggled in many courses.But Bloom says the dyslexia gave him the encouragement to overcome(克服)his difficulties.In an interview with the Telegraph,the 32-year-old said the condition turned him into an ambitious person.“Because of the dyslexia,I always thought I had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to go t he same distance,” he said.“That gave me a real kick as a kid and a lot of encouragement later on.In one sense,I guess that I’m grateful (感激的).”Bloom is always preparing it thoroughly(充分地) when it comes to an audition (试镜)for a part.Perhaps this is what won him his role in The Lord of the Rings,a highly successful film trilogy (三部曲).“I really prepared it thoroughly for the audition and it’s paid off,” he said.It was the beginning of a fame that led to even greater success as a movie actor.But unlike some young people who aim for fame and fortune,Bloom believed an acting career has been fulfilling (实现) his childhood fantasies.“Aged 9,I had this girlfriend and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day.I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her.Once I realized Superman was an actor,I thought,‘That’s for me.’”Bloom has always played special characters,like a knight (骑士) and a prince.It’s difficult to picture him in everyman roles.In October 2009,Bloom was named Goodwill Ambassador (亲善大使) for United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund(UNICEF).His first task would be to film a documentary about the importance of clean water supplies.In fact,Bloom started work for the UNICEF in 2007.On his first visit to Nepal,hewas asked by students to take a small part in a play they were performing on local radio.Personal record of Orlando BloomWhen he was nine years old He wanted to be like Superman and fly in and 1. his girlfriend.That’s why he became an 2. .When he was a student at school 3. of dyslexia,Bloom 4. in many courses,which 5. him to work twice as hard as everyone else.In one sense,dyslexia 6. him overcome his difficulties.When he chose to be an actor Bloom is always well 7. for auditions.Perhaps this is 8. won him his role in The Lord of the Rings.In 2007 Bloom started work for the UNICEF.In October 2009 Bloom was 9.

The editors of gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance.Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves,while the other half was told to spend it on others.Those who ’d shared the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who ’d spent it on themselves.There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20,suggesting that it ’s not how much money you spend,but how you spend it,that inspires the spirit.Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful.A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration (脱水) affected the moods of its female participants.

I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn.I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100,000 a year.A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade told me how many doctors and dentists struggled financially.It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase,“They are one skill away from great wealth.” There is an old saying that goes,“Job means‘just over broke(破产)’.”And unfortunately,I would say that the saying applies to millions of people.Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence,and most workers “live_within_their_means”.They work and they pay the bills.Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn. When I ask the class I teach,“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands.I then ask,“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger,how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?”.The answer is obvious:McDonald’s is excellent at business systems.The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on making a better hamburger but know little or nothing about business systems.The world is filled with talented poor people.They focus on perfecting their skills at making a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger. 1.The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph to show that________.
