解析
试题分析：“When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.”是一句谚语，直译意思为“当你用一根手指指着别人的时候，还有三根手指指着自己。”我们可以意译为“指责别人的时候，更得找找自己的不是。”本篇文章就是对这句英语用事例进行了诠释。有则小故事有助于你更好地理解：有个研究生有一次在工作上遭受重大挫折，分别向两位导师诉苦。他解释并抱怨说并非自己不努力，也不是遇到了神一般的强大对手，而是被猪一般的队友搞砸了，连累了他。他那说英文的导师用他一贯的睿智和委婉回复道：“Always remember when you point one finger，there are three fingers pointing back to you.”。而说中文的导师则更加直接一些，说：“小子，你是解释系主任还是借口院院长？怎么净想着找别人的岔，把自己摘干净？为什么不反思自己哪里做得不够好呢？！”。
小题1:B problem问题；wisdom智慧，古训；idea主意；action行动，行为。本句话的意思讲的是对上述所提的谚语的另一种版本。这儿“wisdom”就是“saying”的同义词。
小题2:C dropping丢下，落下；holding举，抓住；ignoring忽视，忽略，视而不见；neglecting
漏做，疏忽，忽略。跟上文“focus on”相对应的有两个词“ignoring”和“neglecting”，但是这两
个词有质的区别。前者表示：故意不理睬，故意忽视，而后者则为：漏做，疏忽，忽略，不含“故
意”的意思。根据语境应该选C项为最佳。句意：不要老是盯着兄弟眼中的灰尘不放而忽视你自己
眼中的污垢。
小题3:A (be) centered on集中注意力于，聚焦于；put up with忍受，容忍，容受，忍得住，将
就；deal with处理，处置；move out迁出，搬出，出发。此句意思是说：我们为什么要这么做(不要老是盯着兄弟眼中的灰尘不放而忽视你自己眼中的污垢)？因为别人的评论/批评老是盯着咱们那。揭露他人的同时，也暴露了我们自己。
小题4:C forget忘记；kill抹***，消磨(时间)；broadcast广播，播放，使广为人知；express表达。本句是对上文“expose ourselves”的进一步解释，所以这儿要用“broadcast”与“expose”属于同一范畴意义的词。句意：我们使我们自己的弱点和渺小暴露无疑(即让我们自己的弱点和渺小广为人知)。
小题5:D cancel取消，注销，抵消；explain解释；doubt怀疑；illustrate说明，表明，给……加插图；(用示例、图画等)说明。一则古老传说中的故事说明了在评判“好”于“坏”上的差异。下文正是用示例来加以说明的，故用“illustrates”，而不用“explains(解释)”。
小题6:A meet with偶然遇到，碰到，遭受，和……会面 ；question about询问，盘问；worry about
为……而担忧/担心；looks after照看，照顾。从下文看本句是指：皇帝召见尼尔森和迪克(即与他们会面)。
小题7:B leave离开；return返回；wait等待；stay待在，呆在。原词重现。下文“Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone than himself.”已经给出了答案。
小题8:A better更好；faster更快；higher更高；shorter更矮，更短。同义词复现。这儿的“better”与上文中的“qualified”为同义词。下文“When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn"t find anyone better than himself.”也证实这个答案。
小题9:A But但是，表示转折关系；Although虽然，尽管，表示让步关系；Moreover再者，此外，而且，表示递进关系；Therefore所以，表示因果关系。这儿上文“Dick”说的话正好与“Nelson”所说的话相反，故上下文为转折关系。
小题10:D happy快乐；quick快捷；disabled残废，残疾；unable不能。因为他们所说的正好相反，故用“unable”。本段的意思是：愚蠢的迪克返回来告诉皇上他没有发现比他更优秀的人。但是聪明的尼尔森返回来却说他没能发现比他更差的人。
小题11:D side一边，一方；life生命，生活；thought思想；psychology心理学，心理特点，心理状态，心理影响。从上文的故事中我们可以看出为什么“迪克”和“尼尔森”的发现不同，其实就是人的“心理作用驱使”而已。
小题12:A shortcomings缺点；excuses 原谅，借口；worries担忧，担心；advantages优点。跟下文“faults”形成并列意义的就是“shortcomings”。优秀的人总是看到自己的缺点和错误，认为他们不比别人优秀到哪里去。
小题13:A consider认为；take(...as)把……当作；have(...as)把……当作；keep保持。然而差劲的人总是看到别人的缺点和错误，认为他们比别人优秀。

“Small talk is where all your relationships begin,” Forbes magazine summed up.
The following is a five-step guide to making small talk from Bernardo J. Carducci, the director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast, US. Let’s have a look.
Getting started
Begin by talking about the setting, such as the weather outside or the room you are in (“It’s cold in here, isn’t it?”). The purpose of talking about the setting is to show the other person that you are willing to make a conversation.
②The personal introduction
You should mention something about yourself, such as your name. A good personal introduction helps move the conversation forward.
③Looking for topics
At this point, you and your conversation partner need to find common ground. This is a good time to ask questions or to refer back to things you’ve said or heard earlier. Don’t worry if it gets quiet. The other person is probably just thinking of something to say.
④Expanding the topic
The goal is to keep the conversation going. At every stage, you should be careful not to talk too much. But don’t let the other person dominate the conversation either. If that starts to happen, mention something about yourself when he or she takes a breath.
⑤A polite ending
When ending a conversation, let the person know you’ll be leaving soon, express gratitude for the conversation and set the stage for a future conversation. For example, you could say, “I really must be going soon, but I had a great time chatting with you. I really liked hearing your opinion about that new movie. Here’s my phone number. Call or text me if you know of any other movies you think I might enjoy.”
小题1:According to the article, starting by talking about the setting is meant to ________.
| A．find common ground | B．impress the other person |
| C．make a conversation | D．make the room warmer |
| A．interrupt | B．control | C．adapt | D．simplify |
| A．talk about how much you want to keep talking |
| B．show that you’ve not enjoyed the talk |
| C．mention a specific movie that you love |
| D．give your opinion about the other person’s earlier comments |
| A．encourage students to make more friends |
| B．give students tips on making small talk |
| C．introduce popular topics for students |
| D．teach students how to create friendships |
Improve your player or your free throwing skills by following the tips below:
Make it personal. The truth is, there is no rule on how one should handle and throw the ball in a free throw. What matters is that the player should shoot the ball from the free throw line no matter how he does it. So when trying to improve your free throw shooting, better stick to what works the best for you. Do not copy other people’s techniques. Make it your own and leave those techniques as theirs.
Formulate (公式化) a repetitive way of shooting the ball. A free throw should be personalized. But it should also be repetitive. You should be able to repeat your free throw techniques whether you are in your court or in another court, whether you are energized or tired. You can’t say you have a personal free throw technique if you can’t repeat it over and over again.
Shoot at the same position and distance for every free throw. Basketball courts may be located in different places or maybe marked with different paint colors. But all of these courts maintain the same distance from the ring to the free throw line. Familiarize your perfect position when making your free throws. That should help you do your perfect throw.
小题1:Why do so many players fail to make a successful free throw?
| A．Because they don’t have any special skills |
| B．Because they are lacking in practice and tips. |
| C．Because they are not so familiar with rules |
| D．Because many of them are green hands. |
| A．Learn from others. |
| B．Form your own throwing skills. |
| C．Keep active in the court. |
| D．Learn to throw in different locations. |
| A．sound | B．basket | C．ball | D．group |
| A．How to play basketball successfully in the court. |
| B．How to improve your basketball throw skills. |
| C．How to gain more points in throwing. |
| D．How to improve your basketball free throwing. |
2Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
3Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
4American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
5White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.
小题1:Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I?
| A．They were taken to serve the war. | B．They had their equal right at that time. |
| C．Workforce was in great need. | D．They had better productivities. |
| A．Blacks women were not allowed to fight in World War I. |
| B．All American women went to work during World War I. |
| C．Northern cities applied more blacks during World War I. |
| D．Women and blacks earned a lot during World War I. |
A. Americans benefited a lot from World Ward I.
B. World War I had strong effect on America.
C. Some Americans benefited from World War I indirectly.
D. U.S.A. women and blacks contributed much in World War I.
小题4:Which of the following shows the right structures of the above passage?
| A．1→23→45 | B．1→2→3→4→5 |
| C．1→23→4→5 | D．123→4→5 |
When you leave it, lock it!
First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable - nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.
When you move house...
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don’t know who else may have keys.
Never let strangers into your house. An official - looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully - if you are still not satisfied, don’t let the person in.
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection - preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up - to - date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don’t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the hank or with your insurance company.
Going on holiday?
Don’t talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back.
Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on.
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble.
Don’t leave cash or valuables in the house—take them with you or put them in the bank．
