    Some years ago，writing in my diary used to be a usual activity.I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events，feelings，and impressions in my little blue diary.I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words，but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper.After all，isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?
    When I was thirteen years old，I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley，well­equipped with pens，a diary，and a camera.During the trip，I was busy recording every incident，name and place I came across.I felt proud to be spending my time productively，dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels.On my last night there，I wandered out of my tent，diary in hand.The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon，and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows.I automatically took out my pen...
    At that point，I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.
    Now，I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books，or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures，but not very often－only of objects I find really beautiful.I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera，busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
    I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places；maybe I’ll forget certain facts，but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don’t live to make memories－I just live，and the memories form themselves.
    小题1:Before the age of thirteen，the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of________.
    A．observing her school routine
    B．expressing her satisfaction
    C．impressing her classmates
    D．preserving her history
    小题2:What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?
    A．A dull night on the journey.
    B．The beauty of the great valley.
    C．A striking quotation from a book.
    D．Her concerns for future generations.
    小题3:What does the author put in her diary now?
    A．Notes and beautiful pictures.
    B．Special thoughts and feelings.
    C．Detailed accounts of daily activities.
    D．Descriptions of unforgettable events.
    小题4:The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is________.
    A．to experience it
    B．to live the present in the future
    C．to make memories
    D．to give accurate representations of it

    小题1:D
    小题2:B
    小题3:B
    小题4:A
    这是一篇富有生活哲理的记叙文。作者小时候喜欢写日记，每天忙着把“现在”记录在本子上。但她13岁时的一次经历使她意识到，我们应该学会享受而不是记录“现在”，“活着不是为了记忆”。
    小题1:解析：选D。细节理解题。第一段在讲述作者小时候记日记的经历之后说，“把记忆积累起来，这不就是在保存过去吗？”由此可知选D。
    小题2:解析：选B。细节理解题。第二、三段描述作者13岁的那次经历，当时作者还是热衷于为了将来的回忆而记录“现在”，但晚上她看到山谷的美丽时突然明白，“我写的任何东西都比不上此时让自己好好体验山谷的美丽”，从此作者的态度发生了转变。
    小题3:解析：选B。细节理解题。第四段说，作者现在只把自己特殊的想法或情感写在日记中，即B项所陈述的，而不是“笔记和美丽的图画”“日常活动的详细记载”“对难忘的事情的描述”。
    小题4:解析：选A。推理判断题。最后一段作者说，“也许我会忘了一些事实，但至少，这些经历将一直在我的脑海里”。这就是主人公对生活的感悟：把握现在，感受今天；生活，重在感受而不是为了回忆而记忆。

    Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people.Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didn’t pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.
    At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn’t want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.
    In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning.This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters.After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes.Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
    The popularity(流行)of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.
    小题1:The origin of the tango is associated with________.
    A．belly dancers
    B．American soldiers
    C．a Spanish city
    D．the capital of Argentina
    小题2:Which of the following is true about the tango?
    A．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.
    B．People of the upper classes loved the tango most.
    C．It was often danced by two males in the beginning.
    D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.
    小题3:Before World War I，the tango spread to________.
    A．AmericaB．Japan
    C．FranceD．South Korea
    小题4:What can be the best title for the text?
    A．How to Dance the Tango
    B．The History of the Tango
    C．How to Promote the Tango
    D．The Modern Tango Boom

    It's such a happy­looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian­friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
    It's a library built with love.
    A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break！”
    Son Austin, now a 10th­grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses, and made a door of glass.
    After adding the library's final touches(装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
    They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay­at­home mom.
    Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
    The project's best pay­off, says Peter, are the thank­you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
    小题1:In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”？
    A．It owns a yellow roof.
    B．It stands near a sidewalk.
    C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
    D．It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
    小题2:Janey got the idea to build a library from ________.
    A．a visit to Brian Williams
    B．a spring break with her family
    C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
    D．a report on a Wisconsin­based organization
    小题3:The library was built ________.
    A．by a ship supply company
    B．on the basis of toy horses
    C．like a mailbox
    D．with glass
    小题4:What can we infer from the signboard?
    A．It was made by a user of the library.
    B．It marked a final touch to the library.
    C．It aimed at making the library last long.
    D．It indicated the library was a family property.
    小题5:The passage tells us that the users ________.
    A．donate books to the library
    B．get paid to collect books for the library
    C．receive thank­you notes for using the library
    D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily

    There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
    His other standard question—How’s the car? -- used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is doing. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having problems about marriage or doubting a career choice, he might have to act Mom on the line.
    At age thirty I finally took the plunge(跳进) into adulthood by renting a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are unwilling to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily jump on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: Even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function -- suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare -- to feel he has a role in my life.
    小题1:In the author’s opinion, her father always attended her school plays or softball games to_____.
    A．satisfy any demand she made to him
    B．show his interest and watch them for fun
    C．make up what he was previously short of
    D．expect his daughter would be great in games
    小题2:The author has learned that by asking “How is the car?”, her father is actually_____.
    A．reminding her not to waste money
    B．asking how his daughter is getting along
    C．expressing his concern for her daughter’s safety
    D．asking his daughter if the car breaks down or not
    小题3:According to the author, her father, like many other fathers, is unwilling to retire probably because_____.
    A．he wants to continue to earn money
    B．he is doubtful of children’s independence
    C．he won’t put an end to caring for his children
    D．he is afraid of losing connection with children
    小题4:We can safely draw a conclusion from the story that in the author’s eye her father_____.
    A．has a strong passion for his work
    B．has the deepest love for his children
    C．has great interest in his daughter’s car
    D．has too much control over his children

    Most of us lose life’s tough battles by starting an unexpected attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win.   the case of a young friend of mine, who was     in a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job.     there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he    that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t     any longer. His boss was probably already pacing     preparing a speech to fire him.
    Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as     as a locker room;     was hard at work. Sam’s boss came up to him angrily.
