[1]Cleveland was an industrial boom town in the years after World War Ⅰ.The city grew very fast，thanks to the steel industry，the automobile industry and other big businesses.And along with a growing population，there was also a growing number of cars.
[2]Garrett Morgan was the first AfricanAmerican man in Cleveland to own one.One day，Morgan was at a busy Cleveland intersection when he witnessed a particularly bad collision.As he analyzed what had happened，he realized what the problem was.
[3]Back in those days，traffic signals were just “stop” or “go”．And a lot of times，the sign would switch while a car was in the middle of the intersection—with no time to get out.That gave Morgan an idea.He created a traffic signal that had a third function—the “warning” sign that had been missing up until that point.And on November 20th,1923，the US Patent Office officially recognized his new invention.
[4]Originally，the traffic signal that Morgan invented had to be operated manually instead of autoswitch.Eventually，he sold the rights to his traffic signal to General Electric Company，which led to the creation of the modern traffic light.
[5]Morgan was born in Kentucky in 1877.As a teenager，he moved to Ohio to find work.At first，finding work was difficult because a lot of businesses would not hire a black man.But Morgan was determined and he became a successful businessman himself—and a newspaper publisher as well.He also invented a number of other products in addition to the traffic signal—including a gas mask that became the model for the protective masks worn by soldiers during World War Ⅰ.
[6]In terms of the key to his success，______________helped open new roads to success，for the generations that have followed him.“If a man puts something to block your way，the first time，you go around it，” he once said.“The second time，you go over it.And the third time，you go through it.”

[1]A great number of people spend a lot of time earning money because they believe the money itself will make them happy，or will guard them against things that will make them unhappy.They make great efforts to achieve the perfect relationship，the perfect house，the beautiful body，the approval of others，all in an attempt to be happy.
[2]Sometimes these things make people happy；other times，people stress over not having reached the goals，or reach them and find they’re still unhappy.Other times，people focus on just one goal and don’t have time for other things that will make them truly happy.
[3]Some experts studying human happiness and the factors that contribute to it have identified several key areas of life that seem to be more related to personal happiness.Some of them are the things like money，friends，health and living conditions；others are things you may not think of in your daily life，such as your neighborhood and sense of meaning in life.
[4]So while setting your goals，remember all of the areas of life that are important to you and find a balanced lifestyle including social support，personal development，physical health and meaningful pursuits besides career success and financial security.______________，your attitude about life and the things that happen to you each day can also have a great effect on your level of happiness and life satisfaction.In addition to being optimistic，happy people tend to believe they are the masters of their fate，rather than the victims of circumstance.
[5]Explore the state of your life，assess how truly happy you are，and find a direction to work toward what will likely bring more happiness.Reach your goals，set new ones and live a life that truly makes you happy.

I am a German by birth and descent. My name is Schmidt. But by education I am quite as much an Englishman as a 'Deutscher', and by affection much more the former. My life has been spent pretty equally between the two countries, and I flatter myself I speak both languages without any foreign accent.
I count England my headquarters now: it is “home” to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.
I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent”; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man”. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.
Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner's son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose. And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.
Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow's natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.
12. The writer preferred to be called ________.
A. a German B. an Englishman
C. both a German and an Englishman
D. neither a German nor an Englishman
13. Which of the following words cannot be used to describe the writer?
A. Talented B. Modest C. Reliable D. Wise
14. The head of the company where the writer works is ________.
A. Schmidt B. Moritz C. Wilhelm’s father D. Gerhardt
15. The writer often stayed awake on the train or kept a ready-loaded gun in the hotel, because ________.
A. some people sometimes let out the secrets of his company
B. the writer occasionally didn’t keep the secrets of his company
C. patents and the laws are strange things to have to do with
D. the secrets were connected with Government orders or contracts

阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。
For more than nine days，for more than 60 miles，thousands of Beijingbound vehicles have come to an almost total stop on highways called the 6 and 110 that run from Inner Mongolia southeast to the nation's capital.
Bai Xiaolong，a 30yearold truck driver，says it took him five days to make the 350mile journey from Inner Mongolia to Tianjin.He spent much of that time reading，textmessaging and sleeping rather than speeding up.
“There was one day that I didn't move，not even an inch，”said Bai，an inhabitant of Jining in Inner Mongolia，a city at the western end of the traffic jam.
Chinese officials said that the congestion is mainly because of the maintenance(维护)projects that began in midAugust and are scheduled to be completed in midSeptember.Trucks carrying 8 tons or more of coal or fruit have been responsible for damaging the roadway，thus making the work necessary.
Drivers who often use the route know that heavy traffic has long been a fact of life.“The problem is really that there're too many cars and trucks and not enough lanes(车道)，”Bai said.“We drivers are used to this sort of thing happening.”
The two national freeways are heavily used by trucks carrying coal from the recently opened fields of Inner Mongolia to China's coastal cities.
The seemingly endless jam began on the 6 and spread to the 110，which runs parallel(平行的)，when officials sought to ease the traffic on the 6.
The Global Times，and Englishlanguage newspaper，said the jam had eased somewhat in the last two days，but inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads.
The congestion has created an economy of its own.Vendors(小贩)sell boxed lunches，noodles and drinking water to the travelers，often at jackedup prices.And because of the longstanding problems along the highways，dozens of small hotels have appeared，attracting drivers who need a stop to catch more serious sleep.
1．According to the text，the 110 was mainly damaged by________.
A．too many cars B．bad weather
C．poor maintenance D．heavy trucks
答案：D 细节理解题。依据文章第四段最终一句及第六段可知，导致这条国道毁坏的主要缘由是那些重型卡车，故选D项。
2．What can we infer from the text?
A．Bai Xiaolong was born in Tianjin.
B．The problem of traffic jams in China will be solved soon.
C．Chinese officials think it is necessary to build more lanes.
D．The local people don't think the congestion has eased.
答案：D 推理推断题。依据文章倒数其次段中的inhabitants of the region say the congestion simply spilled out onto other roads可知，当地居民认为交通堵塞只是转移到了别的道路上，也就是说他们认为当地的交通拥堵并没有得到缓解。
3．The underlined word“jackedup”in the last paragraph probably means“________”．
A．high B．right
C．special D．low
答案：A 猜想词义题。由于堵车所以司机被困在那里，他们需要吃的和喝的，而一些商贩发觉了这个商机，往往哄抬物价，司机们别无选择，由此可猜想出该词的意思为“很高的”。
4．What would be the best title of the passage?
A．The congestion creates an economy of its own
B．Traffic jam near Beijing stretches on for days
C．The traffic has improved in Beijing
D．Truck drivers in China live a hard life
答案：B 标题归纳题。本文报道了一次严峻的交通堵塞。60多英里的道路变成了停车场，足足堵了九天多的时间，B作为标题最合适。
阅读下面短文，把握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者)listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in the first grade and beyond, Japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
Like in America, there is diversity (多样性)in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated (一流的)schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化)in some Japanese kindergartens.
1. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe______.
A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents
B. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction
D. Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs
2. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on______.
A. preparing children academically
B. developing children’s artistic interests
C. developing children’s potential
D. shap
