11.It was Saturday when the entire summer world was bright and fresh.Tom looked at the fence,which was long and high,feeling all enthusiasm leaving him.He dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence.He knew other boys would arrive soon with all minds of interesting plans for this day.As walking past him,they would tease him for having to work on a beautiful Saturday-which burnt him like fire.
He,putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint,found nothing that could buy half an hour of freedom.At this dark and hopeless moment,a wonderful idea occurred to him,pouring a great bright light into his mind.He took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness.
Presently,Ben Rogers came in sight-munching an apple and making joyful noises like the sound of a riverboat as he walked along.Tom went on whitewashing,paying no attention to the steamboat.
"Hello!"Ben said,"I'm going swimming,but you can't go,can you?"
No answer.Tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result.Ben came nearer.Tom's mouth watered for Ben's apple while he kept painting the fence.
Ben said,"That's a lot of work,isn't it?"
Tom turned suddenly saying"Here you are!Ben!I didn't notice you."
"I'm going swimming,"Ben said."Don't you wish you could go?Or would you rather work?"
Tom said,"Work?What do you mean‘work'?"
"Isn't that work?"
Tom continued painting and answered carelessly,"Maybe it is,and maybe it isn't.All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer."
"Do you mean that you enjoy it?"
"I don't see why I oughtn't to enjoy it."
"Does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently"said Tom.
Ben stopped munching his apple.
Tom moved his brush back and forth-stepped back to note the effect-added a little paint here and there.Ben watched every move,getting more and more interested,more and more absorbed.After a short time,he said,"Tom,let me whitewash a little."
Tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said,"No,Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect.If it was the back fence,maybe you could do it.But this fence beside the street is where everybody can see it.It has to be done right."
"Oh,come on,let me try.I'll be careful.Listen,Tom.I'll give you part of my apple if you let me paint."
"No,Ben,I'm afraid-"
"I'll give you all the apple!"
Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face butalacrity in his heart.While the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun,Tom,an artist sat in the shade close by,munching his apple,and planning how he could trick more of the boys.
Before long there were enough boys each of whom came along the street; stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint.By the middle of the afternoon,Tom had got many treasures while the fence had had three layers of whitewash on it.If he hadn't run out of whitewash,he would have owned everything belonging to the boys in the village.
Tom said to himself that the world was not so depressing after all.He had discovered a great law of human action:in order to make a man cover a thing,it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.
9.By using"Tom continued painting and answered carelessly",the author shows TomC when he was talking to Ben.
A.made mistakes 
B.damaged things 
C.was natural 
D.wasn't concentrating
10.The underlined word"alacrity"in the last but two paragraph most probable means"D".
A.kindness 
B.discouragement 
C.sympathy 
D.eagerness
11.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?B
A.Tom did not want to go swimming at all
B.Tom was asked to help Aunt Polly paint the fence
C.Tom did not get along well with his friends

 10:D 猜測(cè)詞義題.Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face but alacrity in his heart.實(shí)際上Tom成功的誘騙了Ben幫他干活,表面上很不情愿,實(shí)際上心里很急切,說(shuō)明Tom很狡猾,故eagerness正確.
 11:B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect.If it was the back fence,maybe you could do it.是,Aunt Polly要求Tom幫助他粉刷籬笆,故B正確.
 12:A 總結(jié)歸納題.根據(jù)最后一段in order to make a man cover a thing,it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain.說(shuō)明在人們看來(lái)難以得到的東西都是好的.選項(xiàng)中的A項(xiàng)禁果很甜.意思和這句相符.故A符合要求.

6.We have a strange and strong belief in the idea of perfection.Driven by our culture,we struggle for an unattainable ideal:If I have the perfect parents,perfect grades,perfect…,then I would be happy.We seek what we can't have without remembering that we don't actually need to be perfect.Imperfection allows us to be human.
Parents,teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive.However,what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18?Although these grades would be admirable achievements,are they worth losing sleep over?We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job.Making use of our thirst for perfection,the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals.
Truth is,you only need to be good enough to get into the conversation.It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart.Focus more on your passions.Don't worry about anything secondary to your passions.You don't become an expert at anything if you spent your time trying to succeed in everything you do.You only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy.
As members of this society,we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do,not perfect.Although perfection can be a goal,it should not be the only goal.We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week.Thus,we need to plan what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do.
With everything,though,make sure you're doing enough.Pursuing your passions is not enough of a reason to completely give up on everything else.Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself.Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams.Most of all,remember that you're going to be okay.
8.It is implied in Paragraph 1 that there is a culture whereB.
A.Students are driven to learn concepts
B.great importance is attached to perfection
C.imperfect people aren't happy at all

9.We can infer from the second paragraph thatD.
A.a(chǎn) perfect grade is worth losing sleep over
B.the whole college and career industries are perfect
C.some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D.someone is profiting from our search for perfection
10.According to the author,we shouldB.
A.see becoming perfect as our responsibility
B.deal with what we hope to do first
C.set a goal of perfection in our life
D.worry about our future dreams
11.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?B

C.Finding your own passions
D.Giving up your secondary goals.

3.Researchers from France and Italy discovered that Canadian parents are less strict with their children than mothers and fathers in France and Italy.
"Our most important finding was the difference between Canadians and the others,"said Professor Michel Claes,the lead author of the study."Canadians focus on independence and negotiation.On the other hand,Italians,for example,exercise more control.We found Canadians seem to focus on negotiation in case of a conflict."
Claes said Canada,F(xiàn)rance and Italy were selected for the study because they share important cultural and social factors."We chose FrenchCanadians because they share the same language as France,and originally came from France and share certain values.Italy was included because it was considered to have similar,strong and important family values,"he explained.
The researchers examined the emotional ties between parents and their children by questioning 1,256students aged 11to 19years old.
Canadian students reported less control and more free actions,according to the study.Italian parents were stricter and French parents were somewhere in the middle.
Claes explains that the differences lie in education in Canada,F(xiàn)rance and Italy.
"North America has its own educational values,which promote individualization.Tolerance and comprehension are encouraged.Italy,on the other hand,promotes respect of authority,control,and the need for permission."he said.
Children from all three countries described their mothers as warm and communicative.Italian and Canadian children had similar feelings about their fathers,and reported high levels of emotional ties.But French fathers were generally thought by their children to be more distant and cold.
"We were surprised by this,"Claes admitted."It seems as though the relationships between French mothers and their children were becoming closer over time,while fathers maintain a form of distance and coldness,which is more of a source of conflict in France than in the other countries."
21.Professor Michel Claes believes that Canada,F(xiàn)rance and ItalyB.
A.have the same family spirit
B.have some similar cultural traditions
C.have experienced some similar social changes
D.have experienced similar cultural developments
22.How did the researchers carry out the study?B
A.By collecting answers of parents from Canada,F(xiàn)rance and Italy.
B.By collecting answers of children from Canada,F(xiàn)rance and Italy.
C.By questioning parents and their children from Italian Canadian families.
D.By  questioning  children  from  FrenchCanadian families.
23.According to Michel Claes,what mainly leads to the differences in parentchildren
relationships among Canada,F(xiàn)rance and Italy?C
A.Educational opportunities.
B.Traditional ideas.
C.Educational values.
D.Historical events.

1.Bullets (子彈) are known for their ability to kill.However,not all bullets are bad.Magic bullet is something that solves a difficult problem easily.But there is not one thing that solves a difficult problem.For example,let's say a country is suffering from a weak economy.It raises various social issues.People want change and protest (抗議) in the streets.However,there is no magic bullet to cure all these problems.
To take a bullet for someone is a good thing.Well,the thought behind this expression is a good thing.It means you are willing to harm yourself to protect someone else.This often sounds like a tough expression.Mothers might not say"I'd take a bullet for my child",but they would.People in the army,however,might say,"I'd take a bullet for you,man."
When you sweat bullets you are very nervous or anxious about something.What does dodging a bullet mean?For example,let's say you get up late for work.Your boss has warned you that if you are late again,you may get fired.When you arrive at the office,you are sweating bullets.However,you need not worry.As it turns out,your boss is out sick that day.You have dodged a bullet.
To ease the pain of a difficult situation,people are sometimes asked to bite the bullet.What is the origin of this expression?During the Civil War,pain-killing drugs were often hard to find.So,doctors working on the battlefield would give their patients something to bite on.Many times it was a bullet.Hollywood movies helped to keep this expression alive.In old western movies,more than one cowboy was seen biting a bullet,perhaps drinking some wine,while removing an arrow from his body.In modern conversation,biting the bullet means to accept a difficult decision or situation.

25.What does the author think of a magic bullet?A
A.Unrealistic.
B.Valuable.
C.Approachable.
D.Necessary.
26.Whose actions speak louder than words according to the author?D
A.Bosses'.
B.Doctors'.
C.Soldiers'.
D.Mothers'.
27.What can we say when we avoid a bad thing luckily?B
A.Sweat bullets.
B.Dodge a bullet.
C.Take a bullet for someone.
D.Be faster than a speeding bullet.
28.What is the meaning of"bite the bullet"nowadays?D
A.Reduce one's pain.
B.Act too nervously.
C.Drink too much wine.
D.Have to do something unpleasant.
