阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it. Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.
1 According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________.
A. Doesn't need improving B. couldn't be improved
C. will be better some day D. Will be worse in the future
2 What does the author think of the woman's life?
A. positive B. satisfying C. colorful D. passive
3.Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A. Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B. Your luck can be changed by your efforts
C. You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D. You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
4 In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _____________.
A. positive action B. positive thinking C. hope for the best D. intention to succeed
5 The text is mainly written to advise you to ____________.
A. understand yourself B. improve your life
C. believe in yourself D. change your normal way
A篇【解析】
B。细节理解题。依据第三段的“she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it”和第四段的“She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it”，可知该女子接受现在的生活是由于她认为她已经尽力，但生活却未能转变。
D。作者态度题。作者认为该女子只是重复日常活动，并没有“doing her best”，所以是passive (消极的)。
B。细节理解题。依据第五段的“Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it”，可知B为正确答案。
A。细节理解题。第五段主要强调行动，而不仅仅靠运气、思想或期望。尤其是依据末句的“It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively”，可知A为正确答案。
B。文章意图题。从文章的首句和尾句可以得到提示。

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A,B,C或D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Eddie Mckay,a once-forgotten pilot,is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.
It all started when Graham Broad,a professor at the University of Western Ontario,found McKay’s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni (校友)who had served during the First World War,but his name was unfamiliar to Broad,a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity,Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆)in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged,he finally gave up. On his way out,Broad’s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture,he experienced a thrilling realization. “After looking for him all day,there he was,staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,” said Broad. Excited by the find,Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually,a picture came into view.
Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,outlived his entire squadron(中队)as a WWI flyer,spent some time as a flying instructor in England,then returned to the front,where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there’s more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,” says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke,the most famous German pilot at the time.” Yet,in a letter home,McKay refused to take credit,saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.
McKay’s war records were destroyed during a World War Ⅱ air bombing on London—an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.
But now,thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students,a marker in McKay’s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word‘deceased’ (阵亡)next to his name,” said Corey Everrett,a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us,but instead of finishing his time at Western,he chose to fight and die for his country.”
1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay.　　　　B. A footnote about McKay.　　　　
C. A book on McKay.　　　　 D. A picture of McKay.
2. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time. B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War. D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
3. McKay’s flying documents were destroyed in　　　　.　
A. Belgium　　　　B. Germany　　　　C. Canada　　　　D. England
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay　　　　.　
A. preferred fight to his study B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett D. set an example for his fellow students
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history. B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars. D. The importance of military studies.

依据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Everyone needs a break, and vacations are not meant for serious study. __36__ The Spring Festival is coming up so this is the perfect time to discuss some great English language literature to take on a long train journey.
Before getting into the recommendations, you need to determine your English reading comprehension level. If you’re at the beginner level, there are two options: reading a children’s book or reading a book that you’ve read in Chinese translation. __37__ If you’re at the intermediate level, popular books like pop fiction, mysteries and thrillers are good options. For advanced readers, classic works of literature or modern prize winners (Nobel, Pulitzer) are good options.
__38__ When I pick up a book I like, even though the first few chapters are really hard to get through, I would try to get accustomed to the language the author uses. Generally, after the first few chapters, things get a lot easier, especially if I get involved in the story.
Another great way to keep yourself motivated is to find a friend who’s interested in reading the same book. You can make goals that you both want to achieve. __39__
Some quick recommendations: Harry Potter, start with the first book and go on from there; the Narnia series; anything by US writer Michael Crichton; and if you like horror, US writer Stephen King is always unusual and fun. __40__ Happy reading!
A. If you pick a book which is so challenging, it will be too stressful.
B. The most important thing is to pick a book that you’re really interested in.
C. You may also enjoy your reading when hanging out with your family.
D. You should just find a topic or author you’re interested in, and the rest will go from there.
E. You can also discuss plot lines or vocabulary issues with each other by SMS or e-mail.
F. Instead, they’re a great way to take a break and enjoy a good book.
G. This will help you get over any unfamiliar words or phrases, since you’re already familiar with the story.
