For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body Why not look inside Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.
4. The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A. body size B. different beauty standards
C. culture difference D. attitudes towards life
5. What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The whole world B. All the problems.
C. All the properties. D. The absolute truth.
6. What can be inferred about the author
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
7. According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later
A. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
B. They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C. The feel angry about the regained weight.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.
C
Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop，because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptop, ipads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.’
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
8. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________.
A. the course materials B. the author’s class regulations
C. discussion topics D. others’ misuse of technology
9. Which of the following statements is true
A. The author made the rule since he was against technology.
B. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
C. The author’s history class received low assessment.
D. The students think highly of the author’s history class.
10. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.
A. allow students to get on well with each other
B. improve teaching and offer more help
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. prohibit students being involved in class
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. The author will continue his plan until a good reason comes up.
B. Some students will be punished according to the rule.
C. More and more students will be absent in history class.
D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.
D
Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water(放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant’s damaged reactors(反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan’s coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible,” and South Korea summoned(召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地).”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
12. How do most of the local people react to the plan
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Disapproval.
13. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B. It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C. Ocean discharge is the only way the deal with the wastewater.
D. The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
14. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A. The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B. It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C. It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D. It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’ permission.
15. The passage is most probably taken from a _______.
A. geography textbook. B. personal diary
C. news report D. fiction book

Once when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus (马戏团) . Finally, there was only one family between us and the ticket counter (柜台).
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn’t have a lot of money.
Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns. elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight (骑士) in shining armor (盔甲).”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right” . The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight child tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned (倾斜) a little closer and asked. “How much do you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted (报价) the price. The man didn’t have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn around and tell his eight children that he didn’t have enough money to take them to the circus
Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
注意：续写词数应为80左右。
Seeing what was going on, my dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That day my father and I went back to our car and drove home without any tickets.

For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize (幻想) about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal .We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long time to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body Why not look inside Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes towards ourselves, the whole world changes.
4. The passage tries to stress the importance of ____________.
A. body size B. different beauty standards
C. culture difference D. attitudes towards life
5. What does the word “everything” in paragraph 2 mean
A. The whole world B. All the problems.
C. All the properties. D. The absolute truth.
6. What can be inferred about the author
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
C. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
D. The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
7. According to the author , what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first and gained it back later
A. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
B. They are indifferent to the regained weight.
C. The feel angry about the regained weight.
D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop，because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule—no laptop, ipads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.’
I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
8. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with________.
A. the course materials B. the author’s class regulations
C. discussion topics D. others’ misuse of technology
9. Which of the following statements is true
A. The author made the rule since he was against technology.
B. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.
C. The author’s history class received low assessment.
D. The students think highly of the author’s history class.
10. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ________.
A. allow students to get on well with each other
B. improve teaching and offer more help
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. prohibit students being involved in class
11. What can we infer from the passage
A. The author will continue his plan until a good reason comes up.
B. Some students will be punished according to the rule.
C. More and more students will be absent in history class.
D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】

Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water(放射性废水) from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted(稀释) to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.
More than a million tons of radioactive water is currently being stored at the Fukushima power plant in a massive tank farm big enough to fill 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. The wastewater comes from water pumped in to cool the plant’s damaged reactors(反应堆). The government says it has simply run out of room to store all the water. The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.
On Tuesday, Suga said that after years of study, his scientific advisors had concluded that ocean discharge was the most possible way to cope with the wastewater. But the decision to pour Fukushima wastewater into the ocean has drawn fire from neighboring Asian countries and local fishermen along Japan’s coast.
China called the decision “extremely irresponsible,” and South Korea summoned(召唤) the Japanese ambassador in Seoul over the matter. “They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,” Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. “We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally(单方面地).”
The actual release of water from the Fukushima plant will take decades to complete. Critics have called on Japan’s government to at least ensure that independent monitoring is in place to check the level of radiation in the poured water is safe for the environment.
12. How do most of the local people react to the plan
A. Indifferent. B. Uncertain. C. Supportive. D. Disapproval.
13. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A. The wastewater is being stored in 500 Olympic-sized swimming pools.
B. It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.
C. Ocean discharge is the only way the deal with the wastewater.
D. The plan has aroused anger in all the Asian countries.
14. What does Kanji Tachiya probably agree with
A. The plan is to pull the whole world into the disaster.
B. It’s imperative that the plan should be carried out immediately.
C. It’s safe and easy to pour the wastewater into the ocean.
D. It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’ permission.
15. The passage is most probably taken from a _______.
A. geography textbook. B. personal diary
C news report D. fiction book
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了“日本要将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋”事件，尽管官方声称首先要对水进行过滤和稀释，使其达到安全水平，但大多数居民仍然坚决反对这一计划。同时，将福岛污水排入海洋的决定引起了亚洲邻国和日本沿海当地渔民的强烈不满。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“…but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. (但大多数居民仍然坚决反对该计划。)”可推知，当地居民对此计划持反对态度。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段末尾内容“The plan to dump the water into the ocean first came to light in the autumn of last year, when Japanese news reported anonymous officials said the decision had been taken.(将水倒入海洋的计划在去年秋天首次曝光，当时日本新闻报道称，匿名官员称已经做出了这个决定。)”可知，该计划于去年秋天公之于众。选项B“It was last year that the plan was exposed to the public.(这个计划是去年公布的。)”为符合原文的正确论述。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段内容Kanji Tachiya的话“‘They told us that they wouldn’t release the water into the sea without the support of fishermen,’ Kanji Tachiya, who leads a local cooperative of fisheries in Fukushima, told national broadcaster NHK ahead of the announcement on Tuesday. ‘We can’t support this move to break that promise and release the water into the sea unilaterally.’(“他们告诉我们，如果没有渔民的支持，他们不会把水放入海里，”福岛当地一家渔业合作社的负责人立屋Kanji Tachiya在周二宣布这一消息前告诉日本国家广播公司NHK。“我们不能支持这种违背承诺、单方面把水放入海中的行为。”)”可知，Kanji Tachiya不支持“未经渔民许可将水倒进海里”的这种行为。由此可推知，他应会认同D项观点“It’s unacceptable to pour the water into the ocean without fishermen’ permission.(未经渔民许可将水倒进海里是不可接受的。)”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通过阅读文章可知，文章首段内容“Japan said Tuesday that it would start pouring treated radioactive water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean within two years. Officials in Tokyo said the water would be filtered and diluted to safe levels first, but most residents remain firmly opposed to the plan. Protesters gathered outside Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s residence in downtown Tokyo to criticize the government’s decision.(日本周二说，将在两年内开始将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋。东京的官员说，首先要对水进行过滤和稀释，使其达到安全水平，但大多数居民仍然坚决反对这一计划。抗议者聚集在日本首相Yoshihide Suga位于东京市中心的官邸外，批评政府的决定。)”交待了文章的主要内容，且主题为“日本要将福岛核电站的经过处理的放射性水倒入太平洋”事件，具有时效性特点，可视为新闻报道中的“导语”部分。由此可推知，该文章应是来自于新闻报道。故选C项。

【答案】Dear Jim.
I’m so delighted to hear that you will come to China. I can’t wait to see you here, and I’d like to tell you some table manners in China.
First, the main difference is that in the West, everyone has their own plate of food, while in China all people share the dishes placed on the table. Second, you’re supposed to eat with chopsticks. Maybe it’s difficult for you. Remember not to point at anyone with chopsticks while eating. When eating noodles, it’s bad manners to make noises. Third, please don’t talk or laugh loudly because it can interrupt others. People here are quite friendly so that I am sure you will love it when you come here
Looking forward to your coming.

Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns. elephants, and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice.
One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be highlight of their young lives. The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as could be. The mother was holding her husband’s hand, looking up at him as if to say, “You are my knight (骑士) in shining armor (盔甲).”
He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say, “You got that right” . The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, “Please let me buy eight child tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus.”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man’s wife let go of his hand, her head dropped, and his lips began to shake. The father leaned (倾斜) a little closer and asked. “How much do you say ”
The ticket lady again quoted (报价) the price. The man didn’t have enough money.

Actually we were not wealthy in any sense. So I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
