Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t? The only thing more absurd than the story itself is the fact that is not fiction. There are people who have sued(控告)fast food chains for causing their weight problems.
This is an example of one of the ways in which many of us spend enormous amounts of energy trying to deny the undeniable and universal fact that we are all ultimately responsible for our own choices and our own lives.
How much easier would we make it for ourselves if we could accept this fact rather than resist it? But how can we embrace the truth, that we are living the lives we choose to live, that we are enjoying or suffering the consequences(结果) of our own choices, and that blaming others for our problems and shortcomings is nothing more than a comfortable fantasy?
We must acknowledge the truth of our lives, however unpleasant this may be. If we are overweight, in a bad relationship, in a dead end, we need to accept that this is where we are, at this moment in time.
Imagine that woman decided that she was unhappy with the extra pounds she’d gained after many years of eating fast food on a regular basis. Imagine that this woman took the time to really understand and accept that she and no one else was responsible for her eating choices. Having acknowledged this fact, she then decides to make the changes in her lifestyle to become the healthier, slimmer person she wants to be.

A.Be responsible for Our Own Choices. |
B.Overcome the Challenges in Our Life. |
C.Acknowledge the Truth Rather than Deny It. |
D.More than a Comfortable Fantasy. |
A.To show the right way of dealing with weight problems. |
B.To describe a familiar scenario in life. |
C.To give support to the author’s viewpoint. |
D.To compare the consequences of different choices. |
A.Fast food chains contribute little to people’s overweight problems actually. |
B.Fast food outlets are responsible for many people to become overweight. |
C.Many people tend to blame others for their own problems. |
D.The author himself is a supporter of fast food chains. |
A.Acknowledge the truth of his life and let it be. |
B.Think about what’s wrong with himself and then put it right. |

解析
小题1:主旨题,文章第一二段的举例说明文章的主旨,第三段才真正说出作者的想要表达的观点:This is an example of one of the ways in which many of us spend enormous amounts of energy trying to deny the undeniable and universal fact that we are all ultimately responsible for our own choices and our own lives.说明每个人都要为自己的选择负责。选A。
小题2:推理题,文章在第一段和最后一段提到这名妇女,就是下想通过这个例子支持作者的观点。C正确。
小题3:细节题,从文章第一段She chooses to bring a lawsuit against the fast food outlet, claiming that the food served there was the cause of her being overweight and in poor health. 看出这位妇女起诉快餐店,认为导致自己发胖和健康状况变差的原因是那里的快餐,从而得出结论:很多人往往会把自己的问题归咎于别人。故选C。
小题4:推理题,从文章第四段的:that blaming others for our problems and shortcomings is nothing more than a comfortable fantasy?意思是:因为自己的问题和缺点去责备别人只是一个舒适的幻想。所以要是和室友出了问题应该想想自己什么地方错了,纠正它。B正确。
核心考点
试题【Imagine the following scenario(情景): A woman buys her lunch every day from a fast】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
You’ve probably seen a Venus’ flytrap. It’s often sold in museum gift stores, department stores, and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks(茎)are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger(触发) hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus’ flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society’s Newsletter. Note: Despite any science –fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some forms of insects, including flies, butterflies, and moths. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants ---well, most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis(光合作用). Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen(氮). Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can’t obtain any other way. Why almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil “Meat-eating” plants can’t. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity(酸度). So they’ve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize(施肥)them! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly.
小题1:According to the passage, carnivorous plants .
A.only grow in wild field | B.are rare to see |
C.are as common as flies | D.cannot grow on Antarctica |
A.its numerous long stalks | B.a container where it grows |
C.its insect-catching leaves | D.the lining of tiny trigger hairs |
A.carnivorous plants are dangerous |
B.carnivorous plants are fictional |
C.carnivorous plants occasionally eat books |
D.carnivorous plants are harmless to humans |
A.Carnivorous plants cannot grow in acid soil. |
B.Carnivorous plants can grow in nutrient-poor soil. |
C.Carnivorous plants will die if they cannot catch any insects |
D.Carnivorous plants can get nitrogen from nutrient-rich soil. |
This is a natural way of learning. When a child is left to learn in a natural environment, the child’s natural development takes place. Influence of any materialistic way doesn’t let the mind develop naturally. Watching TV, playing video games or joining classes of dance, swimming or any other sports will not let the mind develop naturally.
Here creativity of their mind is developed. They explore ideas. The logic behind this is that the kids of animals learn by nature, so can our kids. So let our children play in the garden, to watch flowers, plants, birds, butterflies and other gifts of nature. In the classes of dance, swimming etc. their creativity is influenced and their natural creativity is suppressed (压制). In these classes they are overburdened and can’t train their creativity. So let them play in the open air or garden without any burden instead of joining classes.
Generally parents give toys to their children and explain how to operate them. But those parents who believe in slow parenting give toys and observe how the children are managing them. Their skill to learn and understand comes out. Maybe the process is slow, but it will be their exploration, which will make them self-dependent, and self-capable to learn.
小题1:In slow parenting, parents ______.
A.set limits to what their children do |
B.keep a close watch over their children |
C.give the whole directions to what their children do |
D.give their children freedom to do what they think proper |
A.Arousing children’s curiosity. |
B.Helping children to be independent. |
C.Making children interested in exploring nature. |
D.Keeping children away from materialistic influence. |
A.children should join some classes |
B.slow parenting should be done in a logical way |
C.exploring nature is a good way of slow parenting |
D.children can’t learn by nature like the kids of animals |
A.Slow parenting and its advantages. | B.Different parenting styles. |
C.The requirements of slow parenting. | D.The author’s opinion on slow parenting. |

When I was a boy, every holiday that I had seemed wonderful. My 1 took me by train or by car to a hotel by the 2 . All day, I seem to remember, I 3 on the sands with strange 4 children.

In those days the 7 seemed to shine always brightly 8 the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country, 9 ruined (毁灭的) houses and dark woods and climbing trees. There were 10 in one’s pockets or good places where one could 11 ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
Although I am now thirty-five years old, my idea of a good 12 is much the same as it was. I 13 like the sun and warm sand and the sound of _14 beating the rocks.

Sometimes I 17 what my ideal (理想的) holiday will be like when I am 18 . All I want to do then, perhaps, will be to lie in bed, reading books about 19 who make houses and gardens with sands, who watch the incoming tide, who make 20 sick on too many ices...

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original (最初的) language of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago English was a little -known relative of German spoken on one of the borders(边界)of Europe.
If a language has a lot of speakers or if it is very old, there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China cannot understand speakers from other parts.

A.most people in the world speak Chinese |
B.there are thousands of languages in the world today |
C.man has much knowledge about languages |
D.some people know several languages |
A.will soon die out completely |
B.were once a relative of English |
C.are the same as before |
