The monk told her to take a large pot（罐子) from his kitchen, fill it with 4 , and stand outside on the sidewalk in front of his house. “It’s hot outside,” the monk said to her “When a person 5 , you must give him or her a glass of water. Do this until there is no 6 left inside you.” 7 she stood outside with a water pot and served water to walkers every day for the next several weeks.
Every morning she asked 8 if there was any anger inside her. And every morning the answer was, “yes.” So she continued 9 water. Until one afternoon when a man walked up, took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up, and then 10 it onto the ground as he went on his way.
The woman was very 11 . Unable to control herself, she 12 the pot and threw it at the rude man. The pot broke into pieces over the back of his head and he fell to the ground, bleeding.

He is an important suspect in many murder cases and robberies.”

解析
试题分析：本文讲述了一位妇女总是将自己的怒气归结到别人的身上，然后她向高僧寻求建议。高僧让其每天为路人提供水，于是，她每天发水。有一天，她因为控制不住自己的情绪，用罐子将一个粗鲁的人打伤，结果这个人却是一名警察正在通缉的罪犯的故事。
小题1:point“指着”，laugh“笑”，smile“微笑”，scream“喊叫，尖叫”。根据who had a bad temper可知，妇女的脾气不好，所以应是她对周围的人大声喊叫，故用screamed。所以本题选D。
小题2:根据题干，本句的意思是“认为她生气都是因为别人的错。”anybody用于疑问句或否定句中，故排除；nobody表示否定，故排除；而everybody表示每个人，过于绝对，故排除。故应somebody。所以本题选B。
小题3:information“信息”，news“新闻”，advice“建议”，message“口信，信息”。根据题干，本句的意思“她去向一个德高望重的高僧寻求建议。”故用advice。所以本题选C。
小题4:juice “果汁”，water“水”，milk“牛奶” coffee“咖啡”。根据下文中you must give him or her a glass of water可知，本空应该是water。所以本题选B。
小题5:根据下文的 served water to walkers可知，本句应该是walk past“走过”。所以本题选A。
小题6:根据下文的if there was any anger inside her可知，本空应该是anger。本句的意思是“直到你心中没有怒火为止。”所以本题选C。
小题7:根据下文可知，妇女按照高僧说的做了，故应该用so。
小题8:根据题干，因为是妇女要消除自己的怒气，故应该是问她自己，故用herself。所以本题选A。
小题9:根据上文可知，妇女仍然有怒气，故应继续为路人提供水，所以应该用serving。所以本题选B。
小题10:根据此人的行为took the water pot out of her hand and drank the water up和下文可知，这个人应该是将pot仍在了地上。所以本题选D。
小题11:根据Unable to control herself和threw it at the rude man.可知，妇女很生气。所以本题选D。
小题12:根据上文可知，pot在地上，故应该是捡起来。所以本题选B。
小题13:妇女给警察打了电话，故应该用报告report。所以本题选C。
小题14:already “已经”，still“仍然”， always “总是”never“从不”。根据语境，本句应该是“她仍在哭泣。”其他选项明显不符合题意。所以本题选B。
小题15:根据题干，应该是on our wanted list。本句的意思是“那个男人是一年多来我们最想抓到的罪犯。”所以本题选A。
点评：这篇短文内容比较简单，理解不难。各小题与上下文联系比较紧密，答题中一定要注意联系上下文。答完后多读几遍，看看是否符合逻辑，适当修改。个别小题可以当作单独的词义辨析题来做，先区分词义，结合语境选出最能使语句通顺的答案。
核心考点
试题【Once upon a time there lived a woman who had a bad temper(脾气). She 1 at everyon】；主要考察你对人物故事类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Amy Chua, well-known as the Tiger Mother, has held the attention of parents all across the US. She told Reader’s Digest that she’s a little strange about how her book struck so many nerves in the US. The reporter of the magazine is sharing the interview with us.
Reader’s Digest: Did you want your book to be controversial (有争议的)?
Amy: I don’t think it would have been controversial at all if it wasn’t for the Wall Street Journal headline that was called, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior”.
Reader’s Digest: What’s your view on your parenting?
Amy: My children grew up with one Western parent. My husband doesn’t believe in raising his voice with the kids and we don’t spank (打小孩). They were really raised in a half Asian family. My book’s message is that we should try to find the balance. I believe that when children are little, you should restrict (限制) their choices. I like the traditional Chinese way. Respect authority (尊重权利) and don’t just let them watch TV all the time. I don’t think kids under the age of ten can make good choices. But once they start to get older, the lesson I learnt with Lulu (Amy’s second daughter) is that you have to start listening to them. You have to start giving them more choices and more freedom. I really think it’s important to find a balance.
I like the strict Chinese way of discipline (行为准则) and hard work when children are young. But when they’re older, you have to send love to your child, you have to listen to your child and really achieve the balance between creativity, choice and freedom on the one hand, which the west is very good at, and on the other hand, hard work and self discipline, which I think traditional Chinese parenting is very good at.

Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is pictured there. A bird called a California condor(大秃鹫)is flying overhead. Who is this man, and why is he so important that he is featured(处于显著地位)on the back of a coin?
The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the places he visited, describing their beauty.
Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them．Muir believed that nature should be conserved(保护)instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests. Soon, others began to listen.
Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired Muir’s love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California. Muir convinced(说服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservation. Later, President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for national forests and established(建立)five national parks. National parks are large areas of land that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the California quarter.
Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his work today. His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources---then, now, and for the future.
小题1:Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?
| A．Because Roosevelt loved watching nature. |
| B．Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir. |
| C．Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature. |
| D．Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland. |
| A．Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country. |
| B．Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world. |
| C．Because he wrote articles to spread the word about conserving forests. |
| D．Because he once wrote several letters to President Theodore Roosevelt. |
| A．To advise readers to become active conservationists. |
| B．To make us interested in the story about a great man. |
| C．To tell us something about an important person in history. |

While taking care of his finger I asked him if he had another doctor’s appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
