【題目】 It was the middle of third grade and I was not sure what had got into me. I lied about many things ---I lied that I had eaten all my dinner, when in fact I buried it in the trash can, I lied that I had made my bed, when clearly I had not. My lies were not hurting anyone, but for some reason I felt the need to tell lies on an impulse (沖動 )that didn't feel like my own. I was labeled a liar.

One day my sisters and I were invited to spend the weekend with my aunt we all loved it. She spoiled us with her time. And she was an amazing artist. She had cool pencils，erasers and other supplies that any young girl would love to get her hands on. Then it happened ... someone took one of Aunt Kim's good art erasers and rubbed it across the entire top of the TV. The eraser ruined the shiny finish on the TV’s casing. All the three of us were called into the TV room and asked to admit. Nobody did! Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was.

The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on their way to picking me up. It had to be me! I was the liar. I argued, but no one listened. And then before dinner there was a knock at the front door! Aunt Kim was standing there. It turned out my younger sister finally felt guilty! She admitted that she was the one who rubbed the eraser on the TV. I was invited back!

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】D

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，主要講述了作者為自己的撒謊行為付出代價的故事。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段的“My lies were not hurting anyone，but for some reason I felt the need to tell lies on an impulse (沖動) that didn't feel like my own.”“我的謊言并沒有傷害任何人，但出于某種原因，我覺得有必要在一種不屬于我自己的沖動下撒謊。”可知作者撒謊是出于一種難以抑制的沖動。故選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的敘述，尤其是Nobody did! Aunt Kim told us how disappointed she was.可推知，姑姑之所以感到失望是因?yàn)闆]有一個人承認(rèn)這個錯誤。故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的The next thing I knew was that she was on the phone with my parents and they were on their way to picking me up. It had to be me!“我知道的下一件事是她和我的父母通了電話，他們正在來接我的路上。一定是我!”可知，因?yàn)樽髡呓?jīng)常撒謊，作者的父母和姑姑都認(rèn)為是作者做了那件事。故選D。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的No matter how big or small your lies are, once you are labeled a liar, earning trust takes a lot of work and time.“無論你的謊言是大是小，一旦你被貼上了說謊者的標(biāo)簽，贏得信任就需要大量的工作和時間。”可知，作者通過自己的親身經(jīng)歷明白了一個道理：撒謊的人如果重新贏得他人的信任需要花費(fèi)很多時間和努力。故選B。

【題目】 Do you remember your first day of school? Were you excited or a bit scared? When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.

My mother and I walked quietly, downhill into the center of town. When we entered the classroom, I noticed all the children were sitting quietly in their seats. Anxiously, I picked a spot next to a friendly-looking girl.

In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered. Her desk was covered with huge cardboard cones. I knew that my mother had filled my Schultuete with goodies and brought it to my classroom the day before, but I didn't know which one was mine.

That morning, the focus of my attention remained with those cones. All of the fear slowly disappeared. When the teacher asked me to approach the desk, she did not seem threatening at all. When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.

Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all. Hurriedly, I unwrapped my Schultuete and discovered candies, chocolates, and oranges. This day stayed in my mind as one of the sweetest in my life.

When I was older I asked my mother about her first day of school. She told me she hadn't received a Schultuete from her parents because the custom had not been established all over Germany at that time.

The custom began in the cities in the 1800s and then spread to the towns and villages. By the early 1950s, the tradition of the Schultuete was established all over the country. And it has been passed on even in the present day.

【1】How did the author feel at first about her first day of school?

A.ExcitedB.Confused

C.AfraidD.Delighted

【2】According to the text, a Schultuete _____.

A.is given to kids as a gift on their first day of school

B.is presented as a reward by a school teacher

C.became popular in the early 19th century

D.is usually filled with school supplies

【3】The underlined sentence “The hill did not seem steep at all” implies that ____.

A.the author was in good healthB.the author was very excited then

C.the author enjoyed climbing hillsD.the author missed her mother badly

【題目】 When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew Pinsky on their Sunday night radio show Loveline. I listened so often that I began to use one of their well-known phrases — “good times” — in my daily conversations. Scientists have a name for this phenomenon: behavioral mimicry.

You’ve probably experienced this before: after spending enough time with another person, you might start to pick up on his or her behavior or speech habits. You might even start to develop your friend’s habits without realizing it. There is a large body of literature concerning this sort of phenomenon, and it regularly happens for everything from body gesture to accents to drink patterns (模式). For example, one study found that young adults were more likely to drink their drink directly after their same-sex drinking partners, than for the two individuals to drink at their own paces.

And the effect isn’t limited to real-life face-to-face activities. Another study found that the same you-drink-then-I-drink pattern held even when watching a movie! In other words, people were more likely to take a drink of their drinks in a theater after watching the actors on the screen enjoy a drink. At least I don’t feel so strange anymore, having picked up on Adam Carolla’s “good times”.

New research published today in the journal PLOS ONE indicates that the same sort of behavioral mimicry is responsible for social eating, at least among university-age women of normal weight. That’s right: the young women were more likely to adjust their eating according to the eating pace of their same-sex dining companion.

As with most experiments, these results raise a whole new set of questions. However, the finding that behavioral mimicry may at least partly explain eating behavior is important, and has real effects on health. The researchers note that “as long as people don’t fully recognize such important influences on intake (eating), it will be difficult to make healthy food choices and keep a healthy diet, especially when people are exposed to the eating behavior of others”.

【1】The author takes his own example of using “good times” to_______.

A.show the influence of the hosts’ wordsB.express his love for radio shows

C.prove the popularity of the showD.introduce the topic of the passage

【2】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

A.behavioral mimicry is beneficial to our health

B.behavioral mimicry decides our eating behavior

C.people have realized the effect of behavioral mimicry on our health

D.It’s impossible to keep a healthy diet without knowing behavioral mimicry

【3】What is probably the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A.To introduce behavioral mimicry and its influence.

B.To appeal to readers not to fall into others’ habits.

C.To advocate healthy food choices among readers.

D.To draw readers’ attention to popular radio shows.

【題目】 If you are thinking about redecorating the home, you are probably searching about interior (室內(nèi)的) decoration ideas. Redecorating presents a great chance to reflect your personality by displaying your style and interests. It will be easy to redecorate the home if money is not a restriction. 【1】Here are some tips on how to do so:

Search some magazines. You can get dozens of home interior decoration ideas from countless magazines and TV programs. Some programs tend to show less costly interior decoration ideas.【2】It's a good way of comparing different styles. Here you can make distinction between broad styles, country, contemporary, etc.

Fond of primitive style.If you are fond of primitive or traditional style, warmer colors are the best for the room. These colors go with all kinds of cloth of old style and wooden furniture.【3】

Modern style. If you like modern styles, use brighter colors instead of white and off white. Home decoration of these styles includes minimum disorder and a lot of free space and light. Leather furniture matches the room: white or black with contrasting throw cushion (靠墊) per seating place.【4】

【5】 This often occurs anyway, especially if the people give you furniture or you inherit (繼承 )the same. If you wish to combine different pieces of furniture from different styles, you need to bridge a gap between them. This Call be done easily with materials like throw pillows, wall hangings and carpets.

A. A white one on a black sofa suits here.

B. There is nothing wrong in mixing two styles.

C. Another effective and affordable option is by surfing the internet.

D. The combinations and possibilities in the first decoration are endless.

E. Autumn colors go well to produce warm, friendly and pleasant atmosphere.

F. Nevertheless, the question for most is how to redecorate the home within limited budget.

G. The walls tend to have one or two pieces of wall art rather than 6 to 10 of the older time.
