核心考点
试题【We always want what we cannot have. When we’re young, we want to stay out late, 】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion (提升)， the bigger paycheck, the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure (空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.
小题1:The best title of this passage probably is ________.
| A．Love your friends | B．Live a real life |
| C．Don’t waste time | D．Be a good mother and wife |
| A．By working and social experience |
| B．Learning from her friends. |
| C．Through an unfortunate experience. |
| D．Because of her children and husband. |
| A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life |
| B．it is very hard to live a real life |
| C．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life |
| D．it is so easy to make a living |
| A．Do it well to serve others. |
| B．To earn enough money to make life better. |
| C．Try your best to get higher position and pay. |
| D．Don’t let it affect your real life. |
| A．the author is a success in personal life |
| B．the author didn’t try her best to work well |
| C．the author spent all her time caring for her children |
| D．the author likes traveling very much |
A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, “Fifty is what forty used to be.” He had made an inspirational (有灵感的) point. Am I over the hill ? People keep telling me that the hill has been moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
“You are not getting older, you are getting better.” Says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
And so as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net, I am moved to share some thoughts on aging with you, I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies(悼词). In fact, a poet name Robert Browning considered it the best change of all:
Grow old along with me !
The best is yet to me.
Whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead with a curious blend(混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher(哲学家) was right when he said , “old is always fifteen years from now.”

| A．time alone will tell | B．time goes by quickly |

| A．tried to comfort him | B．got inspiration with him |
| C．were friendlier with him | D．found him more talkative |
| A．peaceful | B．ordinary | C．satisfactory | D．regretful |
| A．the old should lead a simple life |
| B．the old should face the fact of aging |
| C．the old should take more exercise |
| D．the old should fill themselves with curiosity |
| A．It’s hard for the author to jump over the six-feet high-jump bar now. |
| B．The author is optimistic about his future. |
| C．the author used to think 50 was far away from him. |
| D．Most elephants live less than 50 years. |
When Emanuel was a teenager, if he ever seemed bored with the pier(码头), his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pier after high school, the boy almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Emanuel went to war, when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”
And now, here he was, Emanuel helped out at the pier, working evenings after his taxi job, doing his father’s labor.
Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later that children understand: their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers.
One night his father, lying in hospital, was practically too weak to speak. Others comforted him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”
When the news came that his father had died, Emanuel felt heart-broken.
In the following weeks, Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there .She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two .One night, when Emanuel offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Emanuel put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said softly, “Dad’s gone.”
“Gone where?” murmured Mum.
小题1:Which of the following shows the right order of the story?
a．Emanuel’s father fell ill.
b．Emanuel helped out at pier.
c．Emanuel went to the war.
d．Emanuel wished to be an engineer.

| A．bacde | B．dcabe | C．bceda | D．decba |

| B．Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ support |
| C．Children often feel regretful because they leave their parents |
| D．Children like moving away from their parents |
| A．wake up | B．give up | C．pick up | D．get up |
| A．Emanuel’s mother was at a loss at her husband’s death. |
| B．Emanuel often helped his mother to wash the dishes. |
| C．Emanuel lived with his mother and often comforted her. |
| D．Emanuel’s mother doesn’t like to listen to the radio. |
The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I" m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I"d go, because I"ve watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.
小题1:According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?
| A．Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness. |
| B．Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia. |
| C．All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasia |
| D．If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours. |
| A．some other countries pass similar laws |
| B．Australia has to put an end to euthanasia |
| C．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasia |
| D．different effects result from the game of dominoes |
| A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life. |
| B． Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death. |
| C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population. |
| D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence. |
| A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10 |
| B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia. |
| C．an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pill |
| D．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen. |
| A．Negative | B．Critical | C．Doubtful | D．Positive |
Nightfall was approaching. Suddenly a car pulled 38 from behind me. A man got out and offered to 39 me. Seeing his unpleasant appearance and tattoos（纹身）on his arm, I became 40 as thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind. But 41 I could say anything he had already begun to take the tools to change the 42 . While watching him I happened to look back at his car and noticed someone sitting in the passenger seat. This had 43 me.
Then, without 44 , it began to rain. He suggested that I wait in his car because my car was unsafe. As the rain increased, getting us wet within seconds, I 45 agreed. When I settle into the back seat, a woman’s voice came from the front seat. “Are you all right?” She turned around to me. “Yes, I am.’’ I replied with much 46 when seeing an old woman there. It must be his Mom, I thought. To my 47 , the old woman was a neighbor of the man who was helping me. “Jeff insisted on stopping when he saw you 48 with the tire. ”“I am grateful for his help, ” I said. “Me, too!” she said with a smile. He helped drive her to see her husband twice a week in a nursing home. She also said that he 49 at the church and tutored disadvantaged students.
The rain stopped and Jeff and I changed me tire. I tried to offer him money and of course he 50 it. It was shameful that I judged people by the way they 51 . As we shook hands I began to apologize for my 52 . He said, ‘‘I experience that same 53 often. People who look like me don’t do nice things. I 54 thought about changing the way. But then I saw this as a chance to make a 55 . So I’ll leave you with the same question I ask everyone who takes time to know me. If Jesus returned tomorrow and walked among us again, would you recognize Him by what He wore or by what He did?’’
