The Great Barn Adventure
One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn(谷仓). I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found…absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher(灭火器),which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.
Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.
56. When the author got inside the barn, he _______.
A. noticed a man on the elevator
B. opened the chained sliding door
C. saw many dead mice in the dark
D. found a shaft leading to the top
57. Which of the following is the right order of the author’s adventure?
a. The elevator stopped halfway.
b. He entered the round grain barn.
c. He climbed to the top of the shaft.
d. He found a fire extinguisher and shot it off.
A. b-a-c-d B. a-c-b-d C. c-a-d-b D. b-c-a-d
58. After getting out of the chained door, the author might feel _______.
A. inspired B. relieved C. surprised D. disappointed
59. From the passage, we can learn that the author was probably a boy full of _______.
A. passions B. dreams C. curiosity D. imagination

Wikipedia: The Online Know-It-All
If you want to find out a piece of information about anything, the best place to search for it is Wikipedia. The name “Wikipedia” is from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “quick”. This online encyclopedia (百科全书) is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone with Internet access can write, add or make changes to Wikipedia articles if he or she finds it incorrect or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors. But contributions cannot damage Wikipedia because many experienced editors are watching pages and techies (技术专家) can write editing programs to keep track of or correct bad edits. Where there are disagreements on how to present facts, editors work together to arrive at an article that fairly represents current expert opinion on the subject.
Wikipedia is quite different from paper-based reference sources in important ways. Unlike printed encyclopedias, it is continually created and updated, with articles on historic events appearing within minutes, rather than months or years.
What’s more, Wikipedia includes articles written in about 285 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites on the Internet that are truly international. It was started in by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. Since its creation, it has grown rapidly into one of the largest reference websites, attracting nearly 500 million unique visitors monthly. There are more than 77,000 active contributors working on more than 22,000,000 articles in different languages. As of today, there are 4,396,866 articles in English.
So, if you are looking for some information, why not try Wikipedia? It’s free, multilingual，and informative.

训练三：
“Thanks for coming,” Everett said, shaking hands with Mr. Hanson, the town councillor(议员).
“I’m curious about the ideas in your letter.” Mr. Hanson nodded toward the parking lot near where they stood. “Please tell me more.”
Everett took a deep breath. “Ever since the school closed two years ago, this area has become worse. But if we clean up the litter and repair the fence, it will be a great place for a skateboard park.” Mr. Hanson scanned the broken concrete, nodding. “The old school is being adapted to a community arts centre. This area could become a vital part of the neighbourhood again.”
“Here’s a picture of a skateboard park in another town. Look how busy it is.” Everett was relieved that the community representative seemed receptive to the idea. Mr. Hanson studied the photograph, and then asked, “If town council provides the money, how will you and your friends contribute?” Everett felt optimistic now. “We’ll help design and build the ramps(坡道). More experienced boarders could give lessons to raise money!” Everett’s voice was enthusiastic.
However, Mr. Hanson said, “We’ll still need parking spaces, and the neighbours will not like late-night noise. They might worry about the crime of deliberately damaging public property and….”
“The skateboard park would use only the back corner, which isn’t near any houses. Since young people already hang out here, why not give them something fun and physically active to do in their free time?” The lines over Mr. Hanson’s forehead unwrinkled(舒展), and Everett’s hopes rose again. “If everyone works together,” Everett thought, “maybe this idea will become reality.”
56. Where were Everett and Mr. Hanson talking?
A. In the city hall.B. Outside a park.
C. Near the parking lot. D. In the art centre.

A
When traveling, it’s important to learn about the customs and etiquette(礼仪) of the global village. What we consider polite behavior at home isn't always accepted outside our borders.
● Etiquette of Gift Giving
Gift giving should be a happy, positive experience. When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands, don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors. Giving sharp, pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky. Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up. Traditionally, red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead. Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea, be mindful of your pen's ink color. Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away-an important point to remember when giving a birthday card.
● Eating Customs
Being early or on time is viewed as being rude, too eager or even greedy in Venezuela. If you are invited to someone's home for a meal, it's recommended that you arrive 10 minutes later than the requested time. When having a meal in Egypt, don’t use the salt shaker (盐瓶). It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food, which means that you find the meal terrible. Japan is a very polite nation, and their fondness for etiquette extends to the use of chopsticks. According to Japanese custom, if you're in the middle of eating, use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate. When doing business in Turkey, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Requests to split the bill won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your fair share, Turks recommend inviting your host to a follow-up meal.
21. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Giving a fancy kitchen knife to a friend from Russia is a good choice.
B. You can use blue ink to write notes to your friend from South Korea.
C. Dining with Japanese, one can use either end of the chopsticks to get food from shared plates.
D. Invited to a meal, one should arrive earlier to show respect for the host.
22. What does the underlined word “insulting” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Respectful. B. Challenging. C. Indifferent. D. Offensive.
23. Where is this passage probably from?
A. A news report. B. A travel essay.
C. A culture column. D. A food magazine.
B
Individuality is the particular character, or aggregate (total) of qualities that distinguishes one person or thing from others. Many artists late in the last century were in search of a means to express their individuality. Modern dance was one of the ways some of these people sought to free their creative spirit. At the beginning there was no exacting technique, no foundation from which to build. In later years, trial, error and genius founded the techniques and the principles of the movement. Eventually, innovators (改革者) even drew from what they considered the dread (令人恐惧的)ballet, but first they had to get rid of all that was academic so that the new could be discovered. The beginnings of modern dance were happening before Isadora Duncan, but she was the first person to bring the new dance to general audiences and see it accepted and acclaimed (称赞).
Her search for a natural movement form sent her to nature. She believed movement should be as natural as the swaying of the trees and the rolling waves of the sea, and should be in harmony with the movements of the Earth. Her great contributions are in three areas.
First, she began the expansion of the kinds of movement that could be used in dance. Before Duncan danced, ballet was the only type of dance performed in concert. In the ballet the feet and legs were emphasized, with virtuosity (高超技巧) shown by complex, codified positions and movements. Duncan performed dance by using her body in the freest possible way. Her dance stemmed from her soul and spirit. She was one of the pioneers who broke tradition so others might be able to develop the art.
Her second contribution lies in dance costume. She rejected ballet shoes and stiff costumes. These were replaced with flowing Grecian (希腊式的) tunes, bare feet, and unbound hair. She believed in the natural body being allowed to move freely, and her dress displayed this ideal.
Her third contribution was in the use of music. In her performances she used the symphonies of great masters including Beethoven and Wagner, which was not the usual custom.
She was as exciting and eccentric (怪异) in her personal life as in her dance.
24.According to the passage, what did nature represent to Isadora Duncan?
A.Something to conquer. B.A model for movement.
C.A place to find peace. D.A symbol of disorder.
25.Compared to those of the ballet, Isadora Duncan’s costumes were less _______.
A.costly B.colorful C.graceful D.restrictive
26. We can infer from the passage that the author _________.
A. appreciates modern dance very much B. dislikes Isadora Duncan’s dance
C. thinks highly of individuality D. knows a lot about modern arts
27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Artists of the Last Century B.Evolution of Dance in the 20th Century
C.Natural Movement in Dance D.A Pioneer in Modern Dance
C
Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap(垃圾堆).
So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.
As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”
But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since . So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.
Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.
28. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangma’s peak?
A. They are relatively safe. B. They are often crowded.
C. They are very easy to pass. D. They are sites of base camps.
29. What does the underlined word “gear” mean?
A. Equipment for climbing mountains.
B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.
C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.
D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.
30. The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.
A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma
B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association
C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trash
D. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak
31. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful
B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge Mess
C. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma
D. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma
D
Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的)shoes they designed and created.
Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat-like shoes，also won last year and will receive $ 500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”
A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.
“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research，test it and go through the design process seriously.”
32. For what purpose did the students take part in the race?
A. To go across the lake to school.
B. To test their balance on the water.
C. To pass Professor Canaves’ class.
D. To win the prize money of $ 500.
33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.
B. The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.
C. Most students finished the class assignment successfully.
D. The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.
34. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.
B. It’s a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.
C. The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.
D. Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands-on learning experience.
35. The purpose of the passage is to ___________.
A. show his approval of the unique teaching style
B. report an interesting assignment
C. inspire teachers to be more creative
D. encourage more people to take part in the race
第二节 阅读填空(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分). 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项(选项有两处为多余选项)
Of the many unpleasant emotions we can experience, fear may top the list. 36 . Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter -- like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.
? Experience fear.
I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn't be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn't that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 .
? Create space.
The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn't accomplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the “fight or flight(逃避)” response in the body.
? Control the breath and feel the fear.
Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it becomes slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 39 .
With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we're able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to complete the speech successfully.
A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.
B. We can imagine a positive outcome for whatever we're about to do.
C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.
D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.
E. When we can see a positive outcome in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.
F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant.
G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.

One of my friends did business with somebody else a few years ago. Their freighter(货船) was upturned by a storm 21 and their hope, together with their merchandise vanished 22 . He was so upset by the blow that he became 23 and couldn’t 24 concentrate his attention. His 25 who suffered the same catastrophe never lost heart. His days went on as 26 as before. My friend asked him how he could 27 it. He said:” You curse, you grieve, life goes on as usual; you are happy and enjoy yourself, the world 28 as usual. Which course do you follow?”
That’s how a person leads his life. When you are optimistic and in a good 29 , your future seems sunny and bright. 30 , when you are worried and have your mind 31 in sadness, your future will turn dark. The latter situation, if you allow it 32 , will cost you a great deal. You will lose 33 and courage to fight for the better. You will 34 the joyful things that come your way. They are really the most important, the most reliable part of links of our life. If they get loose and drop 35 , how can you keep happiness?
There’s a poem 36 : “Whether you are 37 or not, whether you like or dislike, show attention or 38 , flowers bloom luxuriously all the same.” Yes, that’s 39 . Just as flowers keep blooming, fine days are passing away day after day. How to spend your days--- joyfully or 40 --- will entirely depend on yourself.

A
Twenty years ago, Americans were a rare sight in China. But decades later, things have changed dramatically. Americans are found in every Chinese province and region and in all walks of life. Much of this change is due to the increasing exchange and improving relationship between the two countries, but what lures many here is China’s rapid development and the huge opportunities that have arisen with that development. It is also China’s long history and diverse culture that hook so many Americans.
Erik Nilsson has been working for the English newspaper China Daily as a reporter for five years since his graduation from Central Michigan University. Although his original plan was to become a conflict zone reporter in Latin America, he decided to stay at China Daily after an internship there.
“I found China extraordinarily fascinating, so interesting and so different, and becoming more important globally. The changes here are so dramatic, and the people are very, very wonderful. Then I realized this is the place to be a reporter,” Nilsson told China Today.
Robert Brownell, a former IT engineer with Microsoft in Seattle, is now teaching in China and appreciates the different atmosphere in the school. His actions are a lot less restricted here than they would be in the U.S. “For good students, I can give them candy,” he explains. ”But in American schools, if you give food to students, they have to be sealed and airtight and tested. (In China) I can pat them on the back and raise my voice. But in America, everything is regulated so much, you just can’t do anything. So the class here is much more fun and lively.”
Apart from alluring job opportunities, China is also over-flowing with lucrative business opportunities. Kodi Keith Avila, the 30-year- old Hawaiian is running a business English school, New York Minutes, in Beijing. Avila first came to China in on a scholarship program as a student of University of Hawaii. It was encouragement from his professor that finally convinced him to go to China. “He thought China would overtake other countries in trade, consumption and technology,” Avila said.“I saw many good opportunities for personal careers or business development in China. So many limousines Audi, Mercedes-Benz, so many businessmen and skyscrapers. By providing the start-up capital and going through all necessary procedures, one can get a business license in China as long as one has a good business plan” he told China Today.
Gabrielle Marie Caponigro, aged 21, was drawn to China by her fascination with Chinese Acupuncture. She is a junior at Loyola University Maryland, and arrived in China for a Chinese language study program last September.
“I came to China because I am interested in Chinese medicine. Learning Chinese language will help me learn Chinese medicine,” Caponigro told China Today. She is not alone among Americans in becoming more and more fascinated with Chinese culture after they come to China, and this helps them settle into living and working here.

WASHINGTON---At least four more U.S. air-traffic controllers are caught nodding off on the job at three separate airports across the nation, the government said Wednesday.
The controller working alone in the tower fell asleep and was out of communication for 16 minutes while a medical flight carrying a patient was trying to land at about 2 A.M. Wednesday at Reno-Tahoe International Airport in Nevada, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.
The FAA announced that it is also investigating a controller who fell asleep Monday at Boeing King County International Airport in Seattle and two controllers who were unresponsive at Preston Smith International Airport in Lubbock, Texas, on March 29.The agency had earlier revealed that an air-traffic supervisor fell asleep March 23 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and a controller slept for five hours at McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee on Feb.19.
“I am sick of this,” Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Chairman Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, said in a statement. “We can’t have an aviation system where some of the people responsible for safety are asleep at the switch.”
As the incidents pile up, sleep experts say it demonstrates that the agency faces a systemic issue with the thousands of people expected to work through the night in safety-critical jobs. Scientific research shows that workers on midnight shifts make more errors because it is so difficult for the body to adapt to sleeping during the day, they say.
The agency will add an extra controller at the 27 towers staffed with one worker on the midnight shift, the FAA statement said. Agency chief Randy Babbitt and the controllers’ union president, Paul Rinaldi, will visit facilities around the country next week to reinforce the need for “the highest professional standards,” according to the FAA.
Doug Church, a spokesman for Rinaldi of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, didn’t immediately return a telephone call for comment.
Representative John Mica, the Florida Republican who chairs the House transportation committee, criticized the decision to add controllers. “Only in the federal government would you double up on workers, averaging $161,000 per year in salary and benefits, that aren’t doing their job,” Mica said in a statement. Mica has pushed legislation (立法)that would allow as many as 90 smaller airports to switch from federal to private controllers.
“People have known these problems with fatigue(疲劳)have existed for years,” said John Goglia, a Boston-based aviation safety consultant. “They’re now showing up. The FAA is admitting they exist. Now the FAA needs to work on it.”
Babbitt said April 6 a controller was in the process of being fired for deliberately sleeping on the job at the McGhee Tyson Airport in Knoxville, Tennessee, on February 19.
The four controllers in Nevada, Seattle and Texas have been suspended pending investigations, the FAA said.
50. ________ controllers since February have been caught sleeping on duty at night or early morning.
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 7
51. The underlined part “double up on workers” means ___________.
A. add two more workers B. staff two workers at a post
C. settle two workers in a double room D. give the workers double pay
52. According to John Goglia, fatigue problem ___________.
A. is a known potential danger B. has never appeared before
C. is common for day-time shift workers D. seldom shows up at night
53. Which statement is true?
A. A controller fell asleep without communication for 16 minutes in Knoxville, Tennessee
B. A medical flight carrying a patient failed to land with the controller asleep.
C. Jay Rockefeller pays little attention to sleeping at the switch
D. Mica refused to support the decision to staff more controllers on the midnight shift.
54. We can infer from the passage that ____________.
A. The controllers were working alone while they were on duty
B. The incidents are rooted in fatigue problems and those on midnight shifts need an extra nap
C. In the U.S. , thousands of people expect to work through the night in safety-critical jobs
D. The agency has added an extra controller at the 27 towers

I was 20 years old when my mother passed away. It was the first real blow that life had dealt me, and I thought I would never recover. Then, by the time the following spring came, the pain was almost bearable and again I could find pleasure in the miraculous reward of nature.
At first, I went to the cemetery with trepidation. But then, amazingly, by tending her grave and decorating it with flowers, I was ridding myself of the painful memories.
The years passed. I moved from Kaposvar, Hungary, the town where I had been born and had spent my youth. So did my siblings. We only came together on feast days, especially on All Souls’ Day in the cemetery.
Father lived with me for many years, to a ripe old age. Now that he, too, rests beneath the white marble stone, I go even more eagerly to the cemetery. While I tend my parents’ grave site, again I am with them in thought.
One day I noticed a modest grave site behind my parents’ plot. It lay among the magnificent granite and marble markers of the other graves, its very simplicity calling attention to itself. Ivy(长春藤) had covered the site and its only decoration was a simple wooden cross on which was written in copper letters a name, and that she lived 22 years. Whenever I went by, the plot and its surroundings looked cared for and neat, and each time I felt curious about this mysterious woman who had lived all of 22 years.
Once I saw an elderly man leaving from there. I concluded that perhaps he had come to visit his wife. In I was preparing for All Souls’ Day in the cemetery when again I caught sight of him, tending the grave. Tall, somewhat bent, he was well passed middle age. We nodded to each other and continued our work. Occasionally I stole a glance at my neighbor. When I noticed that he hadn’t got the tools for a proper cleanup, I offered him mine, which he gratefully accepted. After this, it seemed only natural to engage him in conversation. I asked him whose grave it was. This was his answer:
“My mother’s. She died young, in 1912 when I was only a year-and-a half old. I really never knew her. I made her that cross and the copper letters.”
Then he went on:” No one comes to visit this grave but me because I was her only child. She died of pneumonia. My father remarried and my stepmother only cared for her own children. So then I always came here to my mother, whether in sadness or in joy. Later, life took me far afield, but I never forgot this grave. For me it was the same as the family home is for others. I always came home here.”
“With the years passing, it is getting more difficult for me to come, but as long as my legs will carry me, at least twice a year I visit my mother. I’m in my 80s. so who knows how long I can still make it.’
In stunned silence I listened. Tears clouded my eyes as I realized that I had never seen such boundless love. How much easier is my lot, I thought, for at any moment I can reach into my storehouse of memories and draw out the joyful or sad vignettes(小插图) that bind me to my parents with a thousand threads. What memories might this kindly old gentleman harbor? Perhaps a face from an ancient faded photograph of his mother.
What a great attachment throughout his long life must have led him back again and again to the resting place of that young woman whose motherly love he could never truly savor(尝到), only forever feels its enormous lack.
We said good-bye. I was deeply moved because I knew that I had been given a great gift. I had been allowed a glimpse of the royal and long-lasting affection that bound a simple and noble-hearted man to his mother. I decided I would tend the grave together with that of my parents, where, finally, the aged child will have met his youthful mother.
55. All Souls’ Day is a feast day ______________.
A. to visit the cemetery and memorize the dead B. for families to get together in the cemetery
C. to give gifts to family members D. for daughters and sons to memorize their parents
56. From the passage, we know _____________.

B. the author’s mother is dead while her father enjoys a long life
C. the man’s mother died very young before he was born
D. the author’s father lived long while the man’s mother died very young
57. The underlined words “calling attention to itself” in the 5th paragraph means_______.
A. desiring to be paid attention to B. making it easily noticed
C. too modest to be noticed D. calling itself to draw others’ attention
58. The author stole a glance at her neighbor because____________.
A. they were living in the same neighborhood
B. the man was tall and straight, well passed middle age

A. the author lived near the cemetery and can visit her parents at any time
B. the poor gentleman had hardly any memory of his dear mother’s love

C. Solving Problems All Together
D. A New Way to Access Information
E. All There to Share
F. Changing Ways of Communication
Weibo, Changing Our Lives
In August of , the popular news and entertainment website Sina.com.cn launched a test version of ‘Sina Weibo”, becoming one of the first mainland web companies to experiment with a micro-blogging service. According to statistics from the CNNIC (China Internet Network Information Center), by the first half of 2011, the number of Weibo users had reached 195 million,
and this figure continues to grow.
61. ____________
In comparison to other social networking services such as SNS, BBS and Blog, Weibo offers a more streamlined, live-to –the-minute service and covers a greater range of subject matter.
On Dec. 1, a website malfunction occurred and Weibo was unavailable for four hours. Users were predictably frustrated. One daily newspaper conducted a survey through its own Weibo account on the question, ”What did you do in those four hours?” Some answers read,” I couldn’t function normally, life if dull without Weibo.” or “All I did for those four hours was keep refreshing the browser window. I can’t live without Weibo.” or” During the breakdown I was just really bored.”
62.__________
In China, people working in traditional media are more and more often accessing information via Weibo. A study into Chinese reporter’s working habits revealed that 47.7 percent of them use Weibo frequently, and more than 60 percent have used social media for clues about news, researching topics or even for interviews.
“On Weibo, the reading environment, rhythm of prose and issues of continuity between topics can all be done away with in favor of the raw message.” said Neweekly magazine chief commentator Linhu Lei.
63.___________
“ Weibo, as a form of ‘personal media’, functions as a tool for the expression of personal opinions to the society that surround us and encourages like –minded individuals to share thoughts on topics of mutual interest. This fosters a diversity of opinion and encourages information transparency, all the while building up a public platform for the pursuit of truth. In this sense, Weibo promotes a more democratic and open society,” Yu Guoming remarked.
64.__________
As Weibo has developed over the past two years, people have begun to discuss a more diverse range of topics rather than just giving simple statements about their day. These days, job opportunities and medical advice can be found through the service and groups provide a place for marketing and even for policymakers to discuss policies. There are, however, rumors, rude remarks and irrational behavior are all amplified on Weibo. Weibo can be taken advantage of by those seeking an easy buck through a scam or by someone looking to spread a rumor to sabotage a business competitor.
65._________
On July 29,2009 Twitter’s inaugural invitation to tweeters. “Share and discover what’s happening right now, anywhere in the world” replaced the original , “What are you doing?” This pioneering micro-blogging service has gone on to change the way people communicate. Weibo has changed the nature of people’s interaction with the information they obtain, and internet users have since discovered that they can make their voices heard far and wide.

In the summer when I want to relax, I go down to the river at the edge of our village. There is a deep pond there and all the village children met in hot weather to swim. The tall trees among the river bank give us a shade when we just want to sit and talk and the sandy river bank is perfect for the little children to play. On the opposite river bank are some large rocks on which we older children swim when we want to sunbathe. The river flows slow and the water is crystal clear. The air smells of trees and damp earth and my worries begin to appear as I arrive.
Sometimes on warm evenings we take food or drink down to the river. That is very pleasant to sit with friends and watching the night fall. I can’t think of anywhere I’d rather be on a summer evening.

Dear Marty,
Thank you for writing to me. Your letter touched a warm spot in my heart.
I’m surprised to learn there is a wide gap between rich and poor among you students. It is obviously wrong for that guy to put you to shame rudely.
I assume some students have more money than others, but this should not affect their behavior. There’re many ways of being rich if we can enjoy lives and find peace within ourselves. Being “rich” or “poor” will prove to be temporary especially in a rapidly changing society. Material wealth vanishes more quickly than it comes.
Try to ignore their arrogance. Do better than they can in spite of their money. Maybe you can be richer than they are in grades and behavior. Your faith in yourself and ability will be your riches and your reward will be greater than theirs.
Try it.
With warm regards and best wishes.
Bob

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings.But small towns across the country have their own traditions.
Middleburg，a small town in the state of Virginia，is known for its horses.For more than 50 years，Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields.They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox.But first，these hunters ride in the yearly parade，wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.
John Hale，a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town.“We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit，but it incorporates a lot of the o1d traditions.” The nighttime hay ride is one such tradition.Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay.The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.
There are some newer traditions，too.Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort.He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day.He says Middleburg can be a calming，peaceful place without tension.
“Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back，to take a deep breath，and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace，there’s really an opportunity where you’re allowed to step off for a little bit.”
Parade organizers say more than 13，000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask，you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade：
“I come here because I’m from a small town. I like how everybody comes together.”“I live right down that street;right there.And that’s my dog.”
Middleburg looks its best at Christmastime.That may be why so many people return each year.

If you think that running marathons will help you live a long and healthy life，new research may come as a shock.According to a recent scientific study，people who do a very strenuous workout are as likely to die as people who do no exercise at all.
Scientists in Denmark have been studying over 1，000 joggers and non-joggers for 12 years.The death rates from the sample group indicate that people who jog at a moderate pace two or three times a week for less than two and a half hours in total are least likely to die.The best speed to jog at was found to be about 5 miles per hour.The research suggests that people who jog more than three times a week or at higher speeds of over 7 mph die at the same rate as non-joggers.The scientists think that this is because strenuous exercise causes structural changes to the heart and arteries(动脉).Over time，this can cause serious injuries.
Peter Schnohr，a researcher in Copenhagen，said，“If your goal is to decrease risk of death and improve life expectancy，jogging a few times a week at a moderate pace is a good strategy.Anything more is not just unnecessary，and it may be harmful.”
The implications of this are that moderate forms of exercise such as tai chi，yoga and brisk walking may be better for us than“iron man”events，triathlons and long-distance running and cycling.According to Jacob Louis Marott，another researcher involved in the study，“You don’t actually have to do that much to have a good impact on your health.And perhaps you shouldn’t actually do too much”.
32.The underlined word“strenuous”in Paragraph l is closest in meaning to“___________”.
A.hard B.regular
C.practical D.flexible
33.The author presents some figures in Paragraph 2 to ___________.
A.suggest giving up jogging
B.show risks of doing sports
C.provide supportive evidence
D.introduce the research process
34.According to the scientists，why is too much exercise harmful?
A.It may injure the heart and arteries.
B.It can make the body tired out.
C.It will bring much pressure.
D.It consumes too much energy.
35.What can be inferred from the text?
A.No exercise at all is the best choice.
B.More exercise means a healthier life.
C.Marathons runners are least likely to die.
D.Proper exercise contributes to good health.

You think you know your dog. 36 She probably recognizes you when she sees you.But can a dog tell by simply looking at you whether you have a happy or an angry expression on your face?Researchers in Austria have taught pet dogs to know the difference.
37 When dog owners shout or speak in a strong，sharp voice，dogs often act guilty and quietly move away from the area.
Recently，researchers found that dogs can look at our faces，and tell the difference between a smile and a frown.The animals were able to recognize a look of approval from one of disapproval.Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine performed a series of experiments. 38 They showed the dogs two pictures of either the upper or lower half of a person’s face.On one picture，the person looked happy.The other appeared angry.The dogs were then shown images of the eyes or mouths of people they had never seen before.
39 Once the dogs learned to recognize which image was happy or angry，they could easily identify the same expressions in pictures of any face.Future studies will try to show whether dogs can learn the meaning of facial expressions. 40
The researchers’findings were published in the journal Current Biology.They provide the first solid evidence that humans are not the only species that can read the body language of another species.
A.Dogs are very aware of sound.
B.Dogs have feelings just as you do.
C.But how well does your dog know you?
D.They were also shown the left half of the faces used in training.
E.Some dogs are very unhappy when they are left alone for a long time.
F.They taught dogs to recognize facial expressions.
G.For example，whether a frown shows that someone is angry.

第三部分 阅读理解：(共20 小题, 每小题2分, 满分40分)
阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。
A
After battling hard times and danger for over nine months, British teenager Mike Perham made history last month as the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
The 17-year-old made the record after he cleared the Panama Canal and then sailed through the Caribbean and got home across the Atlantic.
Mike is only three months younger than Zac Sunderland, the 17-year-old American boy who had taken the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor in July.
The two youngsters met in Cape Town in South Africa as they crossed the globe in different directions. Mike insisted they were not rivals(竞争对手). “No. It's two teenagers going out there, living their dream and having the adventure of a lifetime,” he said.
Mike may be young, but he is no stranger to sailing adventures. He picked up the hobby at the age of 6 when his father took him out in a small boat on a local lake. Father and son sailed separate boats across the Atlantic when Mike was 14, making him the youngest person to cross that ocean solo. That record gave him the taste for this even greater challenge.
On the recent journey, the scariest moment for Mike came when his sailboat was hit by storms in the southern Indian Ocean.
“We were picked up by what felt like a 60-foot wave and threw down on our side at 90 degrees,” he said.
“It felt like I was going right over. Stuff was flying around and I just thought ‘Oh no’.”
At other times, he had to dive into the Pacific and fix problems. He tied himself to the boat, jumped into the water and went to work with a knife in 30-second dives underneath the boat to cut a rope away.
Mike said he felt proud that he made his dream come true. “You've got to have confidence in yourself that you will make it,” he said.
56. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. A British teenager became the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
B. How a British teenager developed his sailing hobby.
C. A British teenager's brave experience.
D. A British teenager's confidence.
57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Mike Perham crossed the Panama Canal.
B. Mike and Zac took the crown as the youngest solo around-the-world sailor at the same age.
C. The two youngsters crossed the globe in different directions.
D. Mike was never frightened during the sailing.
58. What does the underlined word “taste” in the fifth paragraph mean?
A. Flavor. B. Preference.
C. Experience. D. Ability.
59. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Both Mike and Zac had adventured spirits.
B. Mike is older than Zac.
C. They both are brave but they have different goals.
D. Mike took up the hobby of sailing adventures at 14.
60. What did Mike believe in?
A. Having confidence in yourself will make you successful.
B. Braveness is important in sailing.
C. One should pick up a hobby as a child.
D. Pride goes before a fall.

A migraine(偏头痛) can cause disabling pain. People may not fed back to normal for hours or even days. Migraines are most common among young adults and middle-aged people. In the United States， about eighteen percent of women and six percent of men are reported having migraines.
People who suffer from migraines can find that different “triggers” (诱因)in different people may get a headache started. Stress can act as a trigger. So can chocolate in some people. Many migraine sufferers say hot weather and low barometric pressure (大气压) can act as triggers. But researchers say they did not have much scientific evidence of thatuntil now.
In a new study， a team examined the medical records of seven thousand hospital patients. The patients had visited the emergency room at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston，Massachusetts，because of a headache. More than two thousand of them had been found to have a migraine.
The team then compared those records to weather conditions in the twenty-four hours before the patients visited. For every increase of five degrees Celsius in air temperature，the patients had a seven and one-half percent higher risk of migraine. Decreases in barometric pressure two to three days the patients also appeared to trigger off headaches，but to a lesser extent.
The researchers found no evidence that air pollution influenced headaches. But they could not rule out the possibility of a smaller effect similar to that seen earlier for strokes.
A separate study has found that age，gender and where a person has extra body fat may affect the risk of migraine. It found that overweight people between the ages of twenty and fifty-five may have a higher risk. On average，those who were larger around the middle were more likely to have migraines than those of the same age with smaller waistlines.
The study involved twenty-two thousand people. It was led by Lee Peterlin. She says early results suggest that losing weight in the stomach area may help younger people who experience migraines，especially women.
61.From the first paragraph，we can infer .
A. a migraine can make people unable to walk
B. a migraine can prevent people from acting normally
C. a migraine can cause people to leave home for days
D. a migraine can get people to suffer from mental disorder
62.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A. chocolate acting as a trigger B. stress acting as a trigger
C. hot weather and low barometric pressure acting as a trigger
D. high air pressure acting as a trigger
63.What any affect the highest risk of migraine according to the passage?
A. Age. B. Conditions. C. Gender. D. Overweight.
64.According to the passage，headaches are influenced least by .
A. body weight B. barometric pressure C. air temperature D. air pollution
65.In the opinion of Lee Peterlin，a person who has a migraine should .
A. avoid gathering fat in the stomach area B. eat more sweet food every day
C. stay warm in good weather D. keep away from polluted air
C
Whatever the mind can conceive (构想) and believe. it can achieve.
Would you agree with the statement that a dream is born from an idea-a simple idea conceived in the mind?
Born in the 19th century，two brothers had an idea which eventually became their passionate (热衷的) and consuming dream. Their never-ending pursuit of that dream was rewarded with an accomplishment that changed the world travel.
On Friday December 17，1903 at 10:35 a.m.，the Wright brothers(Wilbur and Orville) achieved their dream. They flew the world's first power-driven，heavier-than -air machine in which man made free， controlled，and sustained flight. This memorable wonder took place at Kitty Hawk，North Carolina, USA，on a cold windy morning.
The dream started with an idea that was planted in their minds by a toy given to them by their father. In the world of the toys，“late in the autumn of 1878，our father came into the house one evening with some object partly hidden in his hands，and before we could see what it was， he tossed it into the air. Instead of falling to the floor，as we expected，it flew across the room till it struck the ceiling, where it fluttered (飘动) a while，and finally sank to the floor.” This simple toy made of bamboo，cork and stretched rubber bands，fascinated the Wright brothers and sparked their lifelong interest in human flight.
The Wright brothers were great thinkers. They enjoyed learning new things. First，they recycled broken parts，built a printing press and opened their own printing office. Their interest moved to bicycles and in 1893， they opened the Wright Cycle Company where they sold and repaired bicycles. But Wilbur (the elder brother) had his mind set on something more exciting. He decided to seriously pursue flying.
The brothers spent many hours researching，testing their machines and making improvements after unsuccessful attempts at human flight. What started out as a hobby soon became a passion. With determination and patience they realized their dream in 1903.
66.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?
A. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. B. The early bird catches the worm.
C. Success relies on persistence. D. No pains， no gains.
67.When did they succeed in their first attempt to fly?
A. In 1898. B. In 1903. C. In 1893. D. In 1878.
68.What made them start the idea to work on human flight?
A. Bicycles they sold and repaired. B. Kites they once flew when young.
C. A toy given by their father. D. The printing office they started.
69. Who had the idea to invent a machine that could fly?
A. Father. B. Wilbur. C. Orville. D. None.
70.What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Wright brothers and their dream B. The Wright brothers
C. The flight D. How to travel
D
Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”. They featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline, it plays music. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.
But guess what? All of these things are subject to change in the not-so-distant future. It will still go and stop, but it may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.
Airbags aren't the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions (碰撞),they obviously still need some development. But they aren't going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.
Better than systems to minimize (使减少到最低限度) injury in the event of an accident，however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening in the first place. Future cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, tailgating (与前车距离过近) and sleepiness. Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver's system and prevent the car from being started, for example. Many accidents are caused by people following the car in front too closely. As early as next year, you'll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you're closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle (油门). For city streets, expect other radar devices that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed abruptly (突然地) and you should step on the brakes-or that may even brake for you.
Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There's no reason to think it won't be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such systems could be used as failsafe systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled.
71. Why was the author fascinated by cars?
A. Because other small boys liked to own a car of their own, too.
B. Because he read exotic things about cars in his brother's magazines.
C. Because his oldest brother loved to take him to places in his car.
D. Because he subscribed to cool car magazines.
72. By saying “my car doesn't do anything that my brother's Studebaker didn’t do”, the author
means that_____.
A. my car is far better than my brother's
B. my car is not as good as my brother's
C. not much has changed in the performance of cars so far
D. much improvement has been made in the design of cars recently
73. Which of the following statements is true of airbags?
A. They are in need of further improvement.
B. They are going to disappear gradually.
C. They kill people instead of protecting them in low-speed collisions.
D. They are a standard feature of European cars.
74. According to the author, what will future cars do if the sensors detect alcohol in the driver's
system?
A. They will give a warning in advance. B. They will brake automatically.
C. They will ease up on the throttle. D. They will not start.
75. Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?
A. People will give up all control to their cars.
B. Cars will be able to drive themselves.
C. No cars will ever break down on the roads.
D. Cars will all be equipped with failsafe systems.

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” —feeling important and worthwhile—and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”—finding life enjoyable—are not always the same. In the past women often were told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children—what’s all this about wanting a career?” But today women need to_____________, if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.
A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles—marriages, motherhood, and employment—were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.

伟人之所以成为伟人，是因为他们都有自己的目标，并之为不断地努力拼搏，努力奋斗着，最终才成就了伟业。
人既然在这个时间至存就必须有一个目标，一个为生存而奋斗的目标。目标，是我们人生中的罗盘，它能指引我们前进的方向。如果一个人没有了目标，那么他就失去了前进的方向和动力，就只能在人生的十字路口徘徊，迷茫。目标又宛如一束明亮的光线，照亮了物品，恶魔抢房漆黑且充满泥泞和荆棘的道路。有些人也定下了自己的目标，但他们好高骛远，定的目标都是可望而不可即的，非常不现实。所以要想成功就必须定一个比较现实，自己通过一定的努力就能实现的目标，否则就只能是纸上谈兵。
想必大家都听过这样一个故事吧!一只小猴子在森林里玩厌了，于是他想出来看看外面奇妙的大世界，出来后来到了天地里，看见了一只又大又圆的西瓜，它兴奋极了，连忙抱起西瓜，继续往前走，忽然看见一个金黄的玉米棒，小猴子乐坏了，毫不犹豫的把大西瓜扔了，奔向那金黄的玉米，小猴子正准备回森林，一个红灯笼般的苹果映入它的演练，小猴子经不住诱惑，口水都流了下来，又一次扔掉了手里的玉米，飞快地爬到树上摘苹果。就这样，一直到了晚上，小猴子什么也没得到，觉得很沮丧。
仅有了可行的一个目标是不够的，还要坚持这个目标，并为之不断努力，不断奋斗，并且只要有持之以恒的决心和毅力。爱迪生曾说过：“成功就是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九滴汗水。”的确，要想成就伟业就必须付出代价，那就是——“汗水”。
一个应聘者来到一家广告公司应聘，经理一看这个人穿得不是很体面，样子看起来也很丑陋，觉得这个人一定也没人什么才能，就撂下一句话：“你要是能在一天之内策划出三百个广告方案，我就聘用你。”应聘者明知是在为难他，但他还是果断的答应了，这个应聘者回到家，一天不吃不喝，一口气下来竟写出了五百个广告方案，当他拿到公司经理的面前时，经理惊呆了，话都说不好：“告……告诉我，你……你是怎么完成这个任务的，太不可思意了，你怎能在这么短的时间内作出五百个广告方案的，而且个个都很新颖……”当然经理立刻聘用并重用了这位应聘者。当事后，公司职员问起他时，他只说了：“当时我什么也不想，就朝着那个目标不断努力，我相信通过努力，一定会做到的!”
因此，有了一个清晰可行的目标是远远不够的，只有坚持这个目标，并为之付出巨大的努力和汗水才能实现它，才能成就伟业，才能为人生画上一个圆满的句号。
高三材料作文训练题6
新的一年已经来临，站在这个新的起点上，我想很多人都对这一年做出了很多规划，亦充满了期待。不管规划有多少，也不管期待有多高，我只想说，脚踏实地，奋力前行。
在初中同学聚会的年会上，我就跟所有同学讲述了我自己的经历，想通过自身的故事，激励在座的每一个人，为了自己的期望，为了自己的梦想，能够勇敢地向前迈进。我也跟所有人一样，经历了寒窗苦读的岁月，尝试了严峻艰难的挑战，面临了痛苦无助的迷茫，但是，每一次，我都在徘徊中变得更加坚强。因为努力，所以强大。所以，不管是的员工也好，还是奋斗在其他工作岗位上的人也好，亦或是还在学校读书的学生，我都希望大家能够拥有一颗学习的心，尽己所能，读的书，学习的知识，让自己更加充实。
古语有：“非学无以广才，非志无以成学。”很多人都在抱怨找不到好工作，抱怨社会不公平，甚至抱怨自己的出身与命运。诚然，现实有很多拼爹的现象存在，而且我们也不能决定自己的出身，但我想说，拼爹不可怕，更重要的是拼自己。是金子总会发光，关键是自己何时才能发光。
让自己发光，更需要明确自己的志向。想想自己的志向是什么，问问自己的梦想是什么?如果你都不知道你要做什么，你想成为什么样的人，那么你的人生终将浑浑噩噩，一事无成。整天纠结于我要干什么，干什么好，这样的人始终停留在原点，从未出发。不妨给自己出一道填空题吧：“我要做……”“我要成为……”，这样，你就确定了你的目标，专注于自己想做的事，人生才更加有动力。从我准备踏进高中的那刻起，我就深知我接下来要做什么，为了自己的教育梦想，我也一直在努力。俞老师更是一个鲜活的例子，通过自己的努力，执着的追求，才有了今天的成功。临渊羡鱼，不如退而结网，做自己想做的事情，让时间见证我们的努力。
然而，有些人，整天叫嚣着自己的梦想，计划着太多的事情，却没有回过头来看看自己完成了多少，再多的规划也只是痴心妄想。新年刚刚开始，那些为自己定下目标的人儿们，看看自己去年许下的诺言实现了多少吧。如果年初你还是做着重复的决定，新的一年注定还是一样。正如开头所说，脚踏实地，看清自己所做的决定，清楚自己所走的每一步，这样，你离目标才能更近。假设自己置身于悬崖之边，当前面没有路时，你别无选择，只有前进。
命运是公平的，不要妄想天上掉下馅饼，只有静下心来，丰富自己，充实自己，机会才会垂青于你。少一点抱怨，多一点行动;少一点踟蹰，多一点果断;少一点懒惰，多一点勤奋。在胜利的终点上，你的身影将光芒耀眼。
作为一名高中生，我亦希望自己通过自身的努力，在高中这片大舞台上，舞动自己的人生，实现自己的梦想。
梦想很近，现实很远。新年伊始，我祝愿所有人都能载着梦想的翅膀，踏踏实实，朝着自己的目标飞近。
品尝美味佳肴，品尝海鲜干果，每一种滋味都让人回味咂摸。人生百味，喜怒哀乐，悔恨懊恼，每一种情感都令人难以忘怀。面对高山流水，大漠孤烟；面对师长亲朋，父母家人，或许你都会“别有一番滋味在心头”。
请以“回味”为话题，写一篇文章，立意自定，文体自选。要求感情真挚，不少于800字。
[写作提示] “回味”写作内容宽泛，不论是自己亲历的事，还是他人的事，不论是国家的.事，还是民族的事，只要是过去的事，都可以写。是回味就要有所体会，体会的可以是认识，可以是情感，可以是蓦然回首的感动，可以是痛定思痛的酸苦，还可以是拨云见日的顿悟。
文体不限，记叙文、议论文均可。议论文可以谈回味的作用，如何回味等。作文时要想以理服人，就要注重论证结构的安排，分论点的设置，新鲜论据的使用。写记叙文应以回忆为主，将叙述、描写作为主要表达方式，抒情、议论为“画龙点睛”，以情感人，自然水到渠成。
红苹果的滋味
□ 叶晶晶
沉甸甸的苹果，挂在枝头，是红艳艳的惊喜；品在口中，润在心底，是人生成长的美妙滋味。
——题记
漫步少年人生路，穿过风风雨雨。蓦然回首，人生旅途中，我已品尝过许多红苹果。可是，你可曾知道，我的人生苹果究竟是什么滋味？
月华如水，微风拂面。轻倚栏杆，回忆的湖面泛起层层涟漪。
红苹果曾是淡淡的酸涩，那是人生驿站中理智的自责与自省。记得十二岁那年的春节，我贪嘴吃了爸爸待客的红苹果，爸爸生气了，狠狠地批评了我。这次我没有撒娇，没有摔门而出。我低下了头，向爸爸认了错。爸爸很惊愕，片刻，他明白了：“女儿长大了！”夜深人静，我细细地品味浸在心底的红苹果。那是一种深深的愧疚，是淡淡的酸涩，是对自省酝酿出的心灵修养的美好积淀。
红苹果是甜甜的清爽，那是人生成长的磊落和豁达。高一入学后，我特别喜欢和朋友一起望月亮，说梦想。这天夜里，宿舍里熄灯了，我又点起蜡烛钻研难题，同宿舍的一位好友一口气吹灭了蜡烛，大骂我是“一人违纪，殃及池鱼”，我心里好委屈，因为我秉烛夜读恰恰是为了明天给她补习功课。我简直要气炸了，然而我毕竟是长大了，想到宿舍这个大局，冲天的怒火倏地化为一脸微笑。我说：“朋友，谢谢你的提醒！”好友也笑了，丢过来一个红苹果。那晚的苹果，甜甜的，爽爽的，我的心胸显示出可行大船般的豁达和潇洒。
红苹果是绵长的醇香，那是人生成长的沉稳和睿智。今年的教师节，我们班举办“爱师尊师”晚会，晚会开始前，主持人突然病倒了，班长让我代为主持。心有胆怯，但却之不恭，没办法，我硬着头皮上台做了主持，没想到晚会大获成功。会后，班长犒劳我一个红苹果。我笑嘻嘻地接受了。那只红苹果好香，好醇，细细回味，心里泛起的是一丝丝气定神闲，是潇潇洒洒的自信和从容。
记忆的浪花，一片接着一片地冲到岸边。轻倚栏杆，耳边响起一位智者的话语：“自然的苹果，其味道或许是单一的，然而当红苹果融进了生活的味道，便会幻化出许多神奇的滋味，并且，随着人生经历的不断丰富，红苹果的滋味将会更加奇妙无比。
月华隐退，旭日东升，微风拂面，翘首东方。远处人生的园林，沉甸甸的苹果挂在枝头，又是一串串更加红艳艳的惊喜。
[名师点评]本文有三个亮点：一是文章标题“红苹果的滋味”亮丽独特，又能艺术地揭示主旨；二是本文以“人生的红苹果”为中心意象，从多个角度、多个层次抒写成长的感觉，议论内容、抒情内容都新颖深刻；三是语言颇具文采，排比、对偶、比喻运用巧妙，再加上丰富的联想和想象，使文章在发展等级“有文采”一项中独领风骚。

阅读下面的材料，按要求作文。
林肯曾在给朋友的信中谈到幼年的一段经历：
我父亲在西雅图有一处农场，上面有许多石头。正因为如此，父亲才以较低的价格买下了它。有一天，母亲建议把上面的石头搬走。父亲说，如果可以搬走的话，主人就不会卖给我们了，它们是一座小山头，都与大山连着。有一年，父亲去城里买马，母亲带着我们在农场劳动。母亲说：“让我们把这些碍事的东西搬走，好吗?”于是我们开始挖那一块块石头。不长时间，就把它们弄走了，因为它们并不是父亲想像的山头，而是一块块孤零零的石头，只要往下挖一英尺，就可以把它们晃动。
在你的生活中，有类似的经历或见闻吗?请以“石头与山头”为话题写一篇文章。要求自立文意，自选文体，自拟文题，全文不少于800字。
阅读下面的文字，根据要求作文。
因为有了太多的希望和梦想，才有了社会的进步和光明的未来，人类从未停止过自己不断追求的脚步。
因为每天都有新的东西产生，所以在拥有的同时又必然会失去一些东西。
请以“追求与放弃”为话题写一篇不少于800字的文章。
注意：①所写内容必须在话题范围之内;②立意自定;③文体自选;④题目自拟;⑤不得抄袭。
立意
①舍得“失去”是人生的一种大智慧。
②人生有“得”就有“失”;什么都想“得到”的人，往往什么也得不到，而懂得“放弃”的人，往往会收获到最丰美的果实。
③执著一念的人，必然会甘愿“放弃”那些与自己的事业“无关”的东西，包括享受。
④成功往往取决于正确的取舍。
题目
①放弃并不都是无奈
②已入宝山，莫要空手而归
③站在彩虹之上的人
④鱼?熊掌?人生
⑤一箪食?一瓢饮?一辉煌
好的段落
①鸟儿在天上飞，每日里与圣洁的白云对话，是因为它放弃了在清澈如鉴的水中嬉戏的快乐;花儿在幽谷里怒放，每日里跟露珠一切迎接阳光的爱抚，是因为它放弃了在温室中无风无雨的悠闲自在……人，也一样。什么都不想放弃的，最终，只能落得个“已入宝山，却空手而归”的苍白人生。
②想“乘长风破万里浪”吗?那好，你就必须“把别人喝咖啡的时间用来工作”;想实现“拿云”的少年志吗?那好，你就必须放弃在电脑房里狂打游戏的欢愉;想要追求你那“挟飞仙以遨游”的凌云志吗?那好，那就必须放弃歌舞撙前的寻欢作乐。
[例文①]
“轻装”才能“远行”
巨树将一身的葱茏抖落，才得以在风刀霜剑的严冬坚挺它的傲骨;溪流将一路的沙石沉积在河床上，才得以在壮阔的入海口将自己的汪汪一碧汇入自己蓝色的梦。“飞将军”卸铁甲以日行千里，才终使“阴山胡马久逡巡”……
人生苦短，有限的行囊装不下世间的一切。因此，我们应学那巨树，学那溪流，学学李广，要敢于一路走，一路弃，收获最终的辉煌。
回首岁月长河，我们早已从汨罗江边“长太息以掩涕兮”的三闾大夫的身上看清了是非与浊清，早已从忍辱负重的史迁眼中读懂了“泰山”与“鸿毛”的孰轻孰重，早已从“戊戌六君子”的“去留肝胆两昆仑”中感悟到了“舍生取义”的真正。但却鲜有人为我们解读古圣先贤们，也早已用他们的磊落、坦荡与“正道直行”的坚忍，为我们掂量了梦想与追求的重轻。那么就让我们拾起自己最心仪的那块美玉，用你的理由走出自己的光彩。
然而每至岔道口，陡峰前，深谷处……你可曾犹豫过?自己已经走了这么远，所得却并不多，值吗?旁边的那条路上，是否还有着更美的风景，已经被自己错过?如果你是我的朋友，那么请听我说给你：放弃了高山的巍峨，你已经收获到了清泉的甘甜;选择了咖啡的醇香，就别再去奢求碧罗的秾酽;告别了竹林的幽居，闹市里也有着浓浓的人情……即使命运不小心，把满怀壮志的你我塑造成了一个小卒，那就坚定你我梦的方向，在人生的大棋局上吼出你我最有力的一声：“将!”
的确，追求是一种勇敢，一种执著，一种能够把梦变成现实的果敢行动，但放弃却是一种智慧，一种洒脱，一种在失去中收获到人生真谛，人生真价值，人生真参悟的必须!因为放弃了对神学的钻研，巴尔扎克站在了文学的颠峰之上;放弃了医学救国的夙愿，鲁迅化作了一个泱泱华夏的“民族魂”;放弃了厚禄洋房汽车，田间地头上就挺立起一代“水稻杂交之父”的风骨……
朋友，让我们一起铭记住无数的前人用自己一生的追求，总结出的一句话吧：轻装才能远行!
