第二节 阅读理解
It was shortly after her daughter was born in
2005 that Deng Zhixin gave birth to an idea to help
children who had been abandoned (抛弃) by their
parents.
①While exchanging ideas online with a group
of new moms on how to take care of children，Deng
came across stories of children born with diseases
being left by their parents on the street or in hospitals.
“My original intention was to find medical aid for those kids，and give them the love they deserve as much as other children，” said Deng,41.
With a group of mothers in Beijing in 2007，Deng cofounded (共同创立) Angel Mom，an organization that helps poor orphans who might die without receiving timely medical treatment.
Angel Mom collects funds from wealthy people to provide medical help to the disabled children and finds adoptive parents for them.
“We concentrated on seeking financial support for their operations and finding them a family capable of and truly willing to adopt them，” she said.
Weeks ago，Deng quit her job for the third time in three years. Before she quit，she was the chief financial operator in a company with an annual salary of more than 500,000 yuan.
“I couldn?t handle the heavy work while taking care of the children at the same time，” Deng said.
Angel Mom now maintains cooperation with more than 15 hospitals across the country.
As soon as a child arrives，Deng and her partners immediately start seeking financial help from wealthy people through personal relationships or accept assistance from certain charities (慈善机构)，such as Smile Angel Foundation，founded in 2006 by Chinese singer Faye Wong and her husband Li Yapeng to help children with cleft lips.
②“It usually takes days or even weeks to find someone who would like to donate a sufficient amount if the child?s illness doesn?t meet the charity funds ?requirements，” Deng said，adding that six children have passed away，some due to lack of timely medication.
“For me，
those children mean responsibility. Sometimes I wish I could let them go but they are already part of my life，” Deng continued，“I chose a special life，but I don?t think I?m special”．
1．Which of the following can best describe Deng Zhixin?
A．Kind-hearted，stubborn，changeable.
B．Responsible，kind-hearted，helpful.
C．Helpful，lovable，intelligent.
D．Special，wealthy，diligent.
2．The reason why Deng quit her job was that________.
A. it was too demanding a job for her to do well
B．she was fed up with it
C．she was not content with the salary offered
D．she found it hard to cope with the two at the same time
3．Which of the following does Deng usually do according to the passage?
A. Find parents to adopt children.
B．Perform operations for the disabled children.
C．Seek financial help for the children from the government.
D．Help to find the parents who abandoned the children.
4．What Deng said in the last but one paragraph mainly suggests________.
A．the charity funds? requirements are too high
B．timely medication can prevent sick children from dying
C．they sometimes have difficulty in finding people willing to donate
D．when it comes to donation，people should be generous

①In a world where comparisons happen non-stop，
it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be
content with who you are. There?s always someone
who?s a bit better. The only solution is to reach inside
and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own
inner yardstick. There is no more accurate measure for
comparison than who you were yesterday，last week or
last decade，when you were at your best.
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get lazy，or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for nothing. It is a fool?s game. None of us are inherently above or below the person next to us. We are who we are. Not one of us is exactly alike. The only direct and honest comparison is within yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
②My opinion is that you are only allowed to compare yourself to someone else if their life situation is the same as your own. Good luck finding that match. And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated you are，there will always be someone who can run a little faster，jump a little higher，score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there?s not，you can bet someone is coming up fast behind you. So how can you always win in life？Become your best competitor.
The following are the reasons why you are your own best competitor.
1．You will always be motivated.
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to push you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday，then do 8 today. Who cares if the guy next to you did
15？It doesn?t make a bit of difference. You are a more fit person today than you were yesterday. Your own progress is all you need.
2．You will continuously be your personal best.
If you commit to a slightly higher standard of yourself every day，you will always be at the top of your game. And that game will only get better. But if for some reason you fall off your mark，you will always have the past image of your best performance to show you what you?re capable of. Once you?ve done it，you know what?s possible and then it?s just a matter of doing it again.
5. Through the passage the writer advises the readers to________.
A．avoid comparison with others
B．work much harder
C．pay attention to others? progress
D．make full use of motivation
6. If you want to achieve your best，according to the author，you should________.
A．see yourself better than others
B．measure accurately
C．compare with yourself
D．be honest with yourself
7. Which of the following is certain to happen according to the author?
A. Finding someone else who is in the same life situation as you are.
B．Finding someone who runs faster and jumps higher than you.
C．Finding someone who is hiding right behind you.
D．Finding someone who almost always wins in their life.
8．What can help you up to higher level in your life according to the passage?
A．Comparing yourself with the guy next to you.
B．Thinking about your own progress.
C．Promising to play a game every day.
D．Thinking of your most recent past limits.

①People tend to become more personal and hide
less of themselves when using email. Researchers
from the Open University in Britain have found in a
recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of
students，all strangers to each other，to solve a problem.
They had to discuss this question：If only five people
in the world could be saved from a world disaster，who
should they be？The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers? Johnson said，“They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. ②When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other，which limited the personal side of the conversation.”
Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school，or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories，and personal childhood experiences.
Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this，they become more open，especially if there are no cameras.” If you cannot see the other person，it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking，” said Dr Johnson.” However，this style of talking is not entirely new. In the 19th century people started to use the ?telegraph? to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”
Dr Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing，especially when they start work in a company.” If you don?t know about them，you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”
13．The subject discussed in this passage is________.
A．how people open up when emailing
B．how people do research studies
C．how to communicate at work
D．how to discuss and solve a problem
14．The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that________.
A．they didn?t talk about very personal things
B．they couldn?t see each other
C．the cameras on the computers were turned on
D．they had to discuss a question
15．In the writer?s opinion，one should________.
A．focus on oneself when emailing
B．talk more freely when using email than usual
C．discuss any subject that one wants to
D．consider how to use email at work

第三节 美文品读
与死神擦肩
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7∶30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
当我17岁的时候，我读到了一句格言，好像是：“如果你把每一天都当作生命中最后一天去生活的话，必定有一天你会是正确的。”这句话给我留下了刻骨铭心的印象。从那以后，在过去的33年漫长的历史长河中，我每天早晨都会对着镜子问自己：“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天，我会去愿意去做今天打算做的那些事吗？”每当答案连续多日都是“不会”的时候，我知道我该做些改变了。
提醒自己我即将离开，是帮我做出人生中许多重大抉择的最重要的工具。因为几乎所有
的一切——所有他人的期望、荣耀、面子问题和对失败的恐惧——这些在死亡面前都会消失殆尽，留下的是真正重要的东西。提醒自己我将要死去，我认为是避免患得患失的最好办法。你本来就一无所有，没有理由不顺心而为。
大概一年前， 我被诊断出患了癌症。我在早晨7点半做了扫描， 扫描结果清楚地显示我的胰腺上长了一个肿瘤。我当时甚至都不知道胰腺是什么东西。医生告诉我，这基本上是一种无法治愈的癌症， 我活在世上的时间不会超过3~6个月。医生劝我回家，安排后事，这是医生让病人等死的婉言。这意味着你要尽量把本来想在未来10年内对孩子们说的话在几个月里说完；意味着你要把一切安排妥当，让你的家人尽可能地轻松一点；意味着你要说“再见”了。
诊断结果让我想了一整天。那天晚上晚些时候，我做了活组织切片检查。医生将一个内窥镜从我的喉咙伸进去，通过我的胃， 进入我的肠子， 然后用一根针刺进我的胰腺，在肿瘤上提取了一些细胞。我当时注射了镇定剂，但在场的妻子后来告诉我，医生在显微镜下观察这些细胞的时候，忽然叫了起来， 因为我患的竟然是一种非常罕见的、可以用手术治愈的胰腺癌。我做了手术，现在痊愈了。
那是我与死神擦肩而过的一次， 我希望这也是以后几十年最接近死神的一次。以前死亡对于我只是一个有用但抽象的概念，有了这次经历后，我现在可以更加确信地对你们说： 没有人愿意死， 即使人们想上天堂， 也不会为了去那里而死。但是死亡是我们每个人共同的归宿，无人幸免。也应该如此，因为死亡很可能是生命惟一最好的发明。它是生命变化更替的推动力。它破旧立新。你们现在是新人，但是不久的将来，你们会慢慢变老，然后被清除掉。我很抱歉这很戏剧性，但事实就是这样。
你们的时间是有限， 所以不要把时间浪费在重复他人的生活上。不要受教条的束缚，因为那就意味着你依据别人的思想在生活。不要让他人喋喋不休的意见淹没掉你自己内心的声音。最重要的是， 要勇于听从你内心的直觉。可以说，内心的直觉早已知道你想要成为什么样的人，而其他一切都是次要的。
第四节 创新题型与技巧点拨
Alice、David、Maggie、Sam和Peter五位老师在教育学生的过程中碰到了一些问题。阅读下面给出的建议（A、B、C、D、E和F），选出符合他们各自需要的解决问题的方法。选项中有一项是多余选项。（浙江题型）
1.______ Alice: One of my students always gives her seat to the disabled, the old, the young or the pregnant on a bus. Recently, her left leg has been injured. When she was on a bus yesterday, nobody gave her a seat. She stood on one leg for nearly one hour. She is feeling down now. What can I do to help her?
2.______ David: One boy in my class likes to touch others offensively (令人不愉快地). When asked to stop, he always says that someone else always does the same to him. And from my observation, indeed some of them like to hit others without any reasons. Is that what I have taught him?
3.______ Maggie: When I passed the teaching building this morning, I happened to see three children cleaning the road of our school. One of them just stood by with a broom (扫帚) in his hand doing nothing. But the other two were cleaning hard with their faces full of sweat. So what on earth should we teach our kids?
4. ______ Sam: Yesterday, one girl in my class happened to be late for her history class. She said she had to go to her arts teacher?s office to ask something about drawing. But in fact, I had seen her playing on the playground before she went to the class. But how can I tell her all of this?
5.______ Peter: There is a book corner in my class. Yesterday, I found one dictionary was
missing. I asked the students where it was. One of them said he had taken it home for personal use and forgot to bring it back. But these books belong to the whole class, not to a single person. Is that what they have learned to do?
A. I think it is important that we teach our kids the proper work ethic (职业道德), that is, to teach them to work hard and do their best. Whatever their profession, our children need to know they should earn their living by providing a valuable product or service to others. It is not right to cheat, scam, trick, or steal or otherwise bamboozle (欺骗) people out of their money!
B. Don?t we all want our children to be honest? Honesty is the bedrock (根底) for proper relationships. On the other hand, lying just creates a mess. A person of that kind usually falls into a crisis. We all make mistakes. The sooner the truth is out in the open, the quicker we can deal with it and mitigate (减轻) the damage. So tell her the truth and ask her to be honest. Honesty is truly the best policy.
C. Doing things that will cause harm to yourself or other people is senseless. We teach our kids not to hit, bite or throw things at each other when they are little. As they get older, we tell them not to take unnecessary risks in other areas. Hopefully, if we?ve done our jobs, our kids will grow up respecting themselves, and others enough not to do stupid things that could cause pain like what many are feeling today.
D. Things of this kind seem so obvious, yet it clearly needs to be restated (重申). We should make the basic laws of ownership as plain as possible: If you didn?t have it first or it wasn?t given to you, then it is not yours; if it isn?t yours, then you need to leave it alone; if you borrow it, you need permission and then you need to treat it with an extra level of care beyond even what you would do if it was yours. Please teach this to your children. It could really help avoid a lot of trouble down the road.
E. In order for our kids to grow up and live happy, productive lives they need guidance. They need our direction so they can adopt the proper family values as their compass. Embedding (把??牢牢地嵌入) the right attitudes and values in our children early will keep them from running amuck (失去控制) like some of our bankers have done lately. It seems the parents and teachers forgot to teach the children some very basic family values.
F. Remember not to let other people?s bad behavior affect you. We can only control our own behavior, not the behavior of others. Focus on your own and remain true to your own values. By doing this you will not be upset when you see others behaving badly.
答案与技巧点拨：
1．F 考查理解主旨要义与文字信息匹配的能力。Alice碰到的问题是“一名学生常常在汽车上给残疾人、老人、小孩或孕妇让座，但是当她受伤乘车时，却无人给她让座，她感到很沮丧。”F项的主题是“不要让别人的不良行为影响自己”。因此，F项提供的解决问题的方法和Alice遇到的问题相匹配。
2．C 考查理解主旨要义与文字信息匹配的能力。David碰到的问题是“他的一名学生喜欢触碰别人而不听劝告，别的同学也有此行为”。C项的主题是“教育孩子不要做那些会对自己和他人造成伤害的无聊的事情”。因此，C项提供的解决问题的方法和David遇到的问题相匹配。
3．A 考查理解主旨要义与文字信息匹配的能力。Maggie碰到的问题是“某天她碰巧看见三名学生在打扫学校的路面。一名学生手拿扫帚站在那里却不干活，而另外两名学生却满头大汗地费力打扫”。A项的主题是“教给孩子们适当的职业道德非常重要”。因此，A项提供的解决问题的方法和Maggie遇到的问题相匹配。
4．B 考查理解主旨要义与文字信息匹配的能力。Sam碰到的问题是“他的一名女学
生上历史课迟到了，她却撒谎编造理由”。B项的主题是“教育孩子要诚实，牢记诚实至上”。
因此，B项提供的解决问题的方法和Sam遇到的问题相匹配。
5．D 考查理解主旨要义与文字信息匹配的能力。Peter碰到的问题是“一名学生因个
人需要不经允许把班上读书角的一本字典带回家却忘记带回来”。D项的主题是“要重申所
有权的基本法则”。因此，D项提供的解决问题的方法和Peter遇到的问题相匹配。
