1as

2what

3was forced

4that

5for

6toughest

7who

8me

9holding

10peacefully

【解析】

1as。考查介词。表示作为,用介词as。此处表示的意思是当我还是个孩子的时候

2what。考查宾语从句。介词后面跟宾语从句,从句中缺少threw的宾语,填what

3was forced。考查被动语态。根据句意,父亲被迫承认不能再在家照顾奶奶了,用被动语态。

4that。考查强调句式,即“it is/was+被强调部分+that+其它。本句被强调的是状语with a heavy heart

5for。考查介词。本句中,定语从句we all had her用来修饰先行词love,将这个定语从句还原为简单句,则为we all had love her。表示爱某人,为have love for sb. ,所以填介词for

6toughest。考查形容词。根据空格前的定冠词以及后面表示范围的短语of all,可知用形容词最高级形式。

7who。考查宾语从句。根据句意,奶奶不知道我是谁,用who引导宾语从句。

8me。考查代词。从语境可知此处是指作者,因作宾语,用人称代词宾格形式。

9holding。考查非谓语动词。从结构判断此处是非谓语短语作后置定语,表示主动关系,用现在分词。

10peacefully。考查副词。修饰谓语动词went,用副词形式作状语,所以要在名词peace加后缀-ful构成形容词peaceful,再加后缀-ly构成副词peacefully

【题目】Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they’ll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, I’m more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world’s attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.

Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing theory seems to be that we’re all hot-tempered single mothers who can’t keep a man. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can’t escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.

These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to commit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself.

It won’t be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all.

Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they’d like to see Michelle bring to the White House—mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone—an impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that’s been around for far too long.

【1Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?

A. She serves as a role model for African women.

B. She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady.

C. She will present to the world a new image of African-American women.

D. She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women.

【2What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?

A. They are victims of violence.

B. They are of an inferior violence.

C. They use quite a lot of body language.

D. They live on charity and social welfare.

【3What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?

A. Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans.

B. How Michelle should behave as a public figure.

C. How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House.

D. What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House.

【4What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?

A. However many fans she has, she should remain modest.

B. She shouldn’t disappoint the African-American community.

C. However hard she tries, she can’t expect to please everybody.

D. She will give priority to African-American women’s concerns.

【5What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?

A. Help change the prevailing view about black women.

B. Help her husband in the task of changing America.

C. Outshine previous First Lady.

D. Fully display her fine qualities.

【题目】C

The choice between having a career or making time for love is an extremely personal and individual decision. There are many factors which can affect your choice.

Careers and love fulfill us in different but important ways. Having a solid career gives us a sense of accomplishment and self worth. Then there are those who measure their success in terms of having a pleasant and rewarding home life.

So what happens if you cannot or do not wish to make room in your life for both? Consider these factors when pondering which is more important for you.

1. Your Career May be More Important When You are Young

Many people these days focus on careers first and family later. The reasoning is that, while you are young and unencumbered(无负担的), you have the time and energy to fully devote yourself to a career. If you have lofty career ambitions while you are young, it may indeed be the time to start making progress towards those goals.

Once you get married and begin to build a family, much of your time and energy–by necessity–becomes devoted to your family. This is as it should be. You should not start a family unless you are willing to devote time and attention to your loved ones.

2. Falling in Love can be Better When You are Older

More and more people these days are choosing to wait when it comes to making decisions about family. It is not unusual for people to delay marriage until their late 30’s or even their early 40’s. Delaying family decisions allows you to be better prepared for those obligations, and creates a better likelihood that you are in touch with your most important goals and values. You have had the opportunity to completely grow up, greatly reducing the chances of feeling like you are “missing out.” You have had the chance to purge the foolishness of youth from your system and are now confident with the wisdom of maturity.

3. Choosing Both

If you can find a work life balance that allows you to experience the joys of love and maintain a successful career, you will have a truly happy and rewarding life. A loving family at home can help you celebrate all of your successes, and bolster your confidence through your failures. There are many people out there reaping the tremendous rewards that come with including love and work in their lives, and finding the balance that allows for both.

The truly healthy and well balanced person will recognize the benefits of having both. He or she will take steps to achieve the work life balance necessary to assure the continuation of career growth while nurturing and maintaining the health of personal relationships. It is only when we can maintain this delicate balance that we are living life to its greatest potential.

1What can we learn from the first two paragraphs________?

A. Choosing to have a career or start a family life is a personal business

B. Nothing can determine peoples choice

C. Careers and love fulfill people in the same way

D. Having a solid career gives us a pleasant home life

2Why is career more important when people are young_________?

A. Because family life is not important

B. Because they can devote time and energy to their careers

A. To be better prepared for obligations

B. To have the opportunity to completely grow up

C. To rid of the foolishness of youth

D. They dont want to build a family

4From the last paragraph, we can infer that_________.

A. People take steps to achieve the work life balance

B. the continuation of career growth has nothing to do with personal relationships

C. Balancing career and family is of great benefit

D. People can live life to its greatest potential without maintaining the balance

5Whats the main idea of the passage________?

【题目】Most likely, you aren’t the family breadwinner. But doing a small job or getting a weekly allowance would put some money in your pocket. For kids and grown-ups alike money is easy to spend. If you aren’t careful, it can be gone in no time.

Being responsible with your money is an important skill to learn and the sooner you start the better. Whether you are tracking your spending or saving for something special, creating a budget can help you deal with expenses and plan for the future. All you need are paper and a pencil and some self-control.

First, take a look at our sample monthly budget. Then, use a separate sheet of paper to plan your own. In the first two columns, list your sources of income and how much you expect to earn from them. In the third and fourth columns, list what you expect to spend your money on and the amount.

Sample Monthly Budget

Monthly income

Amount

Monthly Expenses

Amount

Allowance

$ 20.00

Snacks

$ 26.00

Money earned

selling drinks

$ 25.00

Music downloads

$ 12.00

Money earned

babysitting

$ 12.50

Movies

$ 18.00

Money earned

delivering newspapers

$ 30.00

Video Rentals

$ 10.00

Total:

$ 87.50

Total:

$ 66.00

The left-hand total should be more than or equal to the right-hand total. If it is, you have an effective budget.

Budgets are not complex, but sticking to them can be tough. When planning your budget, be realistic about your expenses. If you know that you drop $18 at a movie, don’t write $12 in that space simply because you wish you were spending less.

If you are eyeing a big purchase, such as a $150 skateboard, spend less and save more until you have the total amount. No matter how attractive it may be, avoid spending your savings. One day, you will thank yourself!

1The purpose of making a budget is to help people ___.

A. learn to be realistic

B. manage their money well

C. increase their savings

D. test their power of self-control

2What should people do when planning a budget?

A. Fill in the expenses as they really are.

B. Avoid spending money on expensive things.

C. Set aside a fixed amount of money as savings.

D. List income and expenses on two pieces of paper.

3Who is the passage written for?

C. Breadwinners D. Children
