【答案解析】本題考查非限制性定語從句。句意：喬通過一條近道把他的朋友們送到那里，這樣把50分鐘的車程減少到了15分鐘。由空格前的逗號可知是非限制性定語從句，故由which引導(dǎo)，代替前面的整個主句。

第18題______there like that，you remind me of your father.

A. To sit

B. Being sitting

C. Sitting

D. Sit

【正確答案】C

【答案解析】本題考查非謂語動詞。句意：你像那樣坐在那里，你讓我想起了你的父親。sit的邏輯主語是you，用現(xiàn)在分詞表主動。

After working long hours on her feet everyday in the operating room，Taryn Rose knew a lot about foot pain.But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money:Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International，a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.

At the beginning，Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of failure.“I could hear my friends and family saying，‘Why did you leave a good job?’ If I failed，would I be okay facing them? And I thought,‘So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.’ I started to accept that it would be okay to say，’I failed，but I tried.’ Once I was comfortable with that thought，the fear came to an end.I realized I feared regret more than failure.And after you turn to the path you choose，there is nothing acceptable but success.”

Now，Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine.“What I’m doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor.The goal is the same:to relieve(減輕)pain.A former professor told me:‘You’re helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes.As a doctor，you would have helped only the few who went to your office.You’re having a much greater effect.’”

Looking back，Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks.“To me，luck is about being prepared for those opportunities(機會)that come knocking.You have to have an open mind，the right skills and all your senses working to see what opportunities present themselves.Luck can open the door，but you still have to walk through it.”

Last fall was a first?of?its?kind season.I did not arrange(安排)any after?school classes for my children.No swimming.No music lessons.No play dates.Nothing.

Once they finished their homework，they were free to do what they pleased，but only one hour of TV.In the beginning，my sons，Ben，11，and Nick，9，were anxious about this sudden,unplanned freedom.I had to push them out of the door with a ball，a bike，and so on.“Play!”I ordered.

I learned that this new plan takes time，patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn’t really important.

When my older kids，now in college and high school，were young，I brought in the rules of modern parenting.They are unspoken，but followed carefully.First，you must let your child have a variety of activities.After all，you never know where you’ll find a genius(天才).Second，if the child shows the slightest talent(才能)，the activity must be pushed with lessons，special coaching(輔導(dǎo))and practice of several days a week.Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose.That was really too much for my children.

Now with the new plan，we told stories.We listened to music.And the kids played with bikes，balls，and whatever was handy.Nobody kept score.In fact，the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places.They’ve made friends with those who come from all over the neighbourhood to play games.

We like those peaceful evenings.Ben and Nick have a good time this fall.Maybe that’s because the time off has allowed us to enjoy each other’s company.

第40題 What was new for the family last fall?

A. The children began to learn music when school was over.

B. The writer arranged no extra lessons for the children.

C. The writer found no time to play with the sons.

D. The children had nothing to do after school.

【正確答案】B

第41題 At the beginning of that season the children______.

A. hated to spend more time on their homework

B. felt excited about making their own decisions

C. were pleased to have more freedom

D. were worried about the change

【正確答案】D

第42題 According to "modern parenting" discussed in Paragraph 4，parents should______.

A. make use of every minute to be with the children

B. provide coaching and practice for each activity

C. try every means to find a childs real talent

D. know the rules but never talk about them

【正確答案】C

第43題 From the passage we learn that______.

A. children like story-telling more than bike?riding

B. parents should teach their children how to make a plan

C. children should have time to enjoy themselves after school

D. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with others

【正確答案】C

C

A woman heads into a popular New York City coffee shop on a cold winter morning.Just ahead of her，a man drops a few papers.The woman pauses to help gather them.A clerk at a busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something.“Enjoy,” the young woman says，smiling widely.“Have a nice day.” She sounds like she really means it.These are the common situations we may see every day.

However，in her best?selling book Talk to the Hand，Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying “Excuse me” almost no longer exist.There are certainly plenty who would agree with her.According to one recent study，70 percent of the U.S.adults(成人)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.

Is it really true?We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see.In this politeness study，reporters were sent to many cities in the world.They performed three experiments:“door tests”(would anyone hold the door open for them?);“paper drops”(who would help them gather a pile of “accidentally”dropped papers?);and “service tests”(which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase[購物]?).

In New York，60 tests(20 of each type)were done.Along the way，the reporters met all types of people:men and women of different races，ages，professions(職業(yè))，and income levels.And guess what?In the end，four out of every five people they met passed their politeness test—making New York the most polite city in the study.

第44題 What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?

A. People are not as polite as they used to.

B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.

C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude.

D. People dont care about manners any more.

【正確答案】A

第45題 What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?

A. The study was reported in many cities of the world.

B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.

C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.

D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.

【正確答案】D

第46題 What is found in the study?

A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.

B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.

C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.

D. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.

【正確答案】A

D

This is not a diet(減肥食譜)—or a hard exercise program.Nobody can stick to those for long.Instead，it’s a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live.And guess what? It’s fun! You don’t have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises.It’s about balancing calories(平衡卡路里)in tiny ways that add up to big benefits(好處).You just use some tricks the “naturally thin” people do.Pick the ones you like，stick with them，and you’ll lose weight and be strong!

Talk it UP Every time you pick up the phone，stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more every day than thin people，according to a study.

Get face time We use e?mail so much that we’ve forgotten what our colleagues look like.Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person.And go out of your way:go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor—and take the stairs，of course.

Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink:A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories，while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.

Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you’ll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year.This is really not difficult to do.

第47題 What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A. How to do exercises daily.

B. How to lose weight easily.

C. How to work comfortably.

D. How to eat and drink regularly.

【正確答案】B

第48題 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Thin people sit fewer hours daily than heavy people.

B. People deliver messages to their colleagues in person.

C. More people walk around when they talk on the phone.

D. Heavy people make longer phone calls than thin people.

【正確答案】A

第49題 What does the writer mean by "face time" in Paragraph 3?

A. Time for getting to know each other.

B. Time for sharing ideas face to face.

C. Time for doing small jobs.

D. Time for taking the stairs.

【正確答案】B

第50題 Which of the following probably has the most calories?

A. Strawberry daiquiri.

B. Regular beer.

C. Margarita.

D. Wine.
