试题分析:做此类题目,首先我们应该把短文后的几个选项浏览一遍,可得到一些大概的信息。然后返回看原文,这样有助于我们做题。

1.小题1】A他希望能在大城市找到一份工作。文中”Once there was a very poor villager. He found it difficult even to support his family. He walked about in the streets, but he did not get a job.”之前这个村民很穷,很难维持他们家的生活。他游荡在大街上,因为没有找到一份工作。由此我们可知选A。

2.小题2】E所以商人要求这个村民给他写信。One day, the businessman saw that the villager was writing something. He said, “You can also read and write! Your handwriting is very good.”一天,商人看见村民的书写的能力不错,所以此处填的应该是E。

3.小题3】G商人没有亲眼看见,所以他不相信那些会计说的。”They told the businessman that the villager had a small room where he hid the money stolen from him. “嫉妒村民的会计们和商人说村民偷了钱。所以后文应该写的是商人听到后的反应,故选G。

4.小题4】B会计们关上门跑去向商人告状。”One day, they had their chance. They saw the villager going into ‘that’ room.”一天,会计们看见村民进去房间后,所以接下来紧接着的动作应该是B。

5.小题5】D。商人被眼前所看到的感动了。”The villager was ordered to open the box with his own hands. And there was only a pair of dirty shoes and some old clothes.”商人要求村民打开那个盒子,可发现里面只有一双脏鞋子,和一些破衣服。后写的应该是商人看到此后的感受,故选D。

One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.

We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.

I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.

I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.

The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.

Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous (有毒的) berries (干果). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.”

Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.

A. He had just got a new cage.

B. He liked its beautiful feather.

C. He wanted a pet for a companion.

D. He wanted it to sing for him.

2.The mockingbird died because it ______.

A. drank the poisonous water by mistake

B. was frightened to death

C. ate the poisonous food its mother gave it

D. refused to eat anything

3.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?

A. Freedom is very valuable to all living things.

B. All birds put in a cage won’t live long.

C. You should keep the birds from their mother.

D. Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Bad events like "serious illness of a family member" were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like marriage.

When you take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal with stress ---it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you deal with these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran titles like "Stress causes illness".

If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many — like the death of a loved one — are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from chances as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about people. It supposes we’re not active in the face of the difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom and physical and mental pressure.

1.The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical research tells us _________.

A.the way you deal with major events may cause stress

B.what should be done to avoid stress

C.what kind of event would cause stress

D.how to deal with sudden changes in life

2.The score of the Holmes-Rahe test shows ______.

A.how you can deal with life-changing events

B.how helpful events can change your life

C.how stressful a major event can be

D. how much pressure you are unde

3.Why is “such simplistic advice” impossible to follow according to the author?

A.No one can stay on the same job for long.

B.No prescription is effective in reducing stress.

C.People are sure to get married.

D.You could reduce stress by doing nothing.

4. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become _______.

A.nervous when faced with difficulties

B.physically and mentally tired

C.more able to deal with difficulties

D.cold toward what happens to them
