18.When I was about 12,I had an enemy,a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点).Week by week her list grew:I was very thin,I wasn't a good student,I talked too much,I was too proud,and so on.I tried to bear all this as long as I could.At last,I became very angry.I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly,then he asked."Are the things she says true or not?Janet,didn't you ever wonder what you're really like?Well,you now have that girl's opinion.Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said."
I did as he told me.To my great surprise,I discovered that about half the things were true.Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin),but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change.For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy.He refused to take it."That's just for you,"he said."You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.But you have to learn to listen,not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt.When something said about you is true,you'll find it will be of help to you.Our world is full of people who think they know your duty.Don't shut your ears.Listen to them all,but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do."
Daddy's advice has returned to me at many important moments.In my life,I've never had a better piece of advice.

17.What did the father do after he had heard his daughter's complaint?C
A.He told her not to pay any attention to what her"enemy"had said.
B.He criticized (批评) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C.He told her to write down all that her"enemy"had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D.He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
18.What does"Week by week her list grew"mean?B
A.Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
B.She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C.I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D.Week by week,my shortcomings grew more serious.
19.Why did her father listen to her quietly?A
A.Because he believed that what her daughter's"enemy"said was mostly true.
B.Because he had been so angry with his daughter's shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.
C.Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D.Because he wasn't quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
20.Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?B
A.Not an Enemy,but the Best Friend
B.The Best Advice I've Ever Had
C.My Father
D.My Childhood.

分析 本文讲述了做这场被一个女孩说他的缺点,那一天她哭着去找爸爸,爸爸让她所做的事是要敢于面对自己的缺点的故事.

解答 17.C:细节题,由第二段的最后一句Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points that are true.Pay no attention to the other things she said.可以知道写下小女孩说的并且接受事实,所以选C
18.B:推理题,由第一段的第二行I was very thin,I wasn't a good student,I talked too much,I was too proud,and so on.可以知道随着时间的流逝,她发现作者的缺点越来越多,所以选B
19.A:推理题,由第二段爸爸说的"Are the things she says true or not?Janet,didn't you ever wonder what you're really like?"可以知道他很平静是因为他认为作者的死对头说的话都是正确的,所以选A.
20.B:推理题,由本文的主要意思"爸爸对自己的女儿说要敢于面对自己的缺点,这是作者一生最好的建议",所以选B

点评 本篇文章难点在推理判断题上.推理判断题要以表面文字为前提,以具体事实为依据进行推理,做出判断.这种推理方式比较直接,考生只要弄清事实,即可结合上下文推断出合理的结论.

13.The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago.It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays.To protect them from harm,friends and family would come to stay with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes.Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to keep away from the evil spirits.This is how birthday parties began.

Japan-New clothes.The birthday child wears entirely new clothes to mark the occasion.
New Zealand-Birthday claps.After the birthday cake is lit,the happy birthday song is sung loudly and often out of tune and then the birthday person receives a clap for each year they have been alive and then one for good luck.

9.Hello.I'm Jan from Mrs.Lake's class.My class wants to work together to help the public.We think we have found a great way to do this.Last month we did a class project on the highways near our town.We learned about the Adopt-a-Highway Program.This program brings people together to pick up litter along the roads.We think it would be a great idea for all students in our school to join the program and adopt a highway.
Adopting a highway is not like adopting a pet.When a highway is adopted,only part of the highway is cared for by a group of p eople.The group agrees to work every week to keep its part of the highway clean.Each group gets its own sign that has the name of the group printed on it.The sign is put up at the side of the road.This sign lets drivers know who is keeping that area of the road clean.
The Adopt-a-Highway Program is a great way for people to help their environment look nicer.Also,the government does not have to send out as many road workers.This saves money.Finally,people may try harder to keep roads clean if they see people,especially teenagers like us,cleaning them up.
    We will need helpers to care for our adopted highway.If you want to feel great and keep our roads clean,please come with your parents to the meeting next week.We will meet in Mrs.Lake's room on Wednesday at 6:00 P.M.At the meeting,we will talk about which roads are the dirtiest as a result of people's unkind acts.Then we'll try to pick an area to adopt and clean.
   I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.Remember to keep our roads clean!
4.What is the Adopt-a-Highway Program about?C
A.Giving names to the highways.
B.Drawing pictures of highways.
C.Picking up litter along the roads.
D.Putting up signs near the roads.
5.What should the students do first if they want to join the program?B
A.Pick a spot to care for.
B.Go to a meeting on Wednesday.
C.Write a letter to their parents.
D.Call Mrs.Lake next week.
6.What is the purpose of this speech?A
A.To encourage students to join the program.
B.To introduce the traffic system.
C.To show drivers how to drive safely.
D.To tell a story about adopting a highway.
7.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?D
A.Adopt-a-Pet                           
B.Volunteers on Roads
C.Ways to Protect the Environment       
D.Adopt-a-Highway Program.
