试题【Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her cl】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course(课程) so when this show business thing doesn"t work out, you"ll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom," I don"t know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography(自传), After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn"t want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we"re self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn"t always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up —again—and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, "why me?" about something or other," she insists. "It doesn"t do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I"ve come to realize the importance of that as I"ve grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
小题1:Why did Mary feel regretful?
A.She didn"t achieve her ambition.B.She didn"t take care of her mother.
C.She didn"t complete her high school.D.She didn"t follow her mother"s advice.
小题2:We can know that before 1995 Mary
A.had two books publishedB.received many career awards
C.knew how to use a computerD.supported the JDRF by writing
小题3:Mary"s second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her
A.living with diabetesB.successful show business
C.service for an organizationD.remembrance of her mother
小题4:When Mary received the life-changing news, she
A.lost control of herself B.began a balanced diet
C.tried to get a treatment D.behaved in an adult way

It was New Year’s Night. An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful eyes towards the deep blue sky, where the stars were floating like white lilies on the surface of a clear calm lake. Then he cast them on the earth, where few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal --- the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the stages leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and remorse. Now his health was poor, his mind vacant, his heart sorrowful, and his old age short of comforts.
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrance of the two roads --- one leading to a peaceful, sunny place, covered with flowers, fruits and filled with soft, sweet songs; the other leading to a deep, dark cave, which was endless, where poison flowed instead of water and where devils and poisonous snakes hissed and crawled.
He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “O youth, return! O my father, place me once more at the entrance to life, and I’ll choose the better way!” But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.
He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness. These were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall down from the sky and disappeared, and this was the symbol of himself. His regret, which was like a sharp arrow, struck deeply into his heart. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered on life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were now honored and happy on this New Year’s Night.
The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents’ early love for him. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way. With shame and grief he dared no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived. His darkened eyes were full of tears, and with a despairing effort, he burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days! Come back!”
And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream which he had on New Year’s Night. He was still young though his faults were real; he had not yet entered the deep, dark cave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.
Those who still wander on the entrance of life, hesitating to choose the bright road, remember that when years are passed and your feet stumble on the dark mountains, you will cry bitterly, but in vain: “O youth, return! Oh give me back my early days!”
小题1:We can learn from the passage that ____.
A.the man returned from a long journey and regretted what he had done
B.the man didn’t enter the deep, dark cave when he was young
C.the man was deserted by his parents when he was only a child

A.He wants to tell people it’s time to recall the past
B.he suggests the aged man will have a bright future
C.He tries to stress the man’s sad feeling
D.He expects people to share the man’s emotion
小题3:The aged man in the passage can be described as ________.
A.sorrowful, fearful and regretfulB.hopeful, cheerful and peaceful
C.regretful, painful and disappointedD.disappointed, regretful and hopeful
小题4:The author writes the passage mainly to ________.
A.encourage young people to take the right roadB.help the old man to pick up his confidence
C.describe the old man’s unsuccessful experienceD.show his compassion for the aged man
