The Wisdom of One Word

Upon reaching downtown El Paso，I met an old man，a bum，on the street corner．He stopped me and questioned me as I passed by．He asked me if I was running away from home，I suppose because I looked so young．I told him，“Not exactly，sir，”since my father had given me a ride to the freeway in Houston and given me his blessings while saying， “It is important to follow your dream and what is in your heart．Son．”

After conversing for a few minutes，the friendly bum told me to follow him．He told me that he had something grand to show me and share with me．We walked a couple of blocks until we came upon the downtown Public Library．

The bum first led me to a table and asked me to sit down and wait for a moment while he looked for something special amongst the shelves． A few moments later，he returned with a couple of old books under his arms and set them on the table．He then sat down beside me and spoke．He started with a few statements that were very special and that changed my life．He said，“There are two things that l want to teach you，and they are these：Number one is to never judge a book by its cover， for a cover can fool you．”He followed with．“I’ll bet you think I’m a bum，don’t you，young man?”

I said，“Well，uh，yes，l guess so，sir．”

“Well，I’ve got a little surprise for you．I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. I have probably everything any man could ever want．But a year ago，my wife passed away, and since then I have been deeply reflecting upon life．I realized there were certain things I had not yet experienced in life．one of which was what it would be like to live like a bum on the streets．So，you see，don’t ever judge a book by its cover，for a cover can fool you．”

“Number two is to learn how to read，my boy．For there is only one thing that people can't take away from you，and that is your wisdom．”At that moment，he reached forward，grabbed my right hand in his and put them upon the books he’d pulled from the shelves．They were the writings of Plato and Aristotle immortal classics from ancient times．

His parting request was for me to never forget what he taught me． I haven’t． 16.The writer was riding his car with his father when he saw the old man

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned

www.123zcyy.com

正确答案:B

解析:该题说的是：作者看到老人的时候正好与父亲在一起开车。第一段提到了作者的父亲将他送到了休斯顿的高速公路上并为儿子祝福，很显然作者与老人遭遇的时候已经与父亲分别了，所以题干的说法是错误的

17.Actually the old man was the leader of the Public Library they had entered

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:C

解析:该题说的是：事实上，老人是他们所去的市区公立图书馆的馆长。文章只是提到了两人去了图书馆，并在文章的后半部分说明了老人富豪的身份，但是图书馆的经理是谁，文章没有具体说明

18.The old gave two pieces of advice to the writer in the library

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:A

解析:该题说的是：老人在图书馆里给了作者两条忠告。第三段的There are two things that l want to teach you，and they are these具体提到了老人要交给作者两件事 19.The old man was sure of the writer’s mistaking him for a beggar

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:A

解析:该题说的是：老人确信作者将他看成了乞丐。第三段的I’ll bet you think I’m a bum，don’t you，young man?提到了老人确信作者将他看成了乞丐，注意I bet和be sure of的同义转换 20.The old man’s wife got cancer and left the world a year ago

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:C

解析:该题说的是：老人的妻子一年前患癌症去世。文章中只提到了老人的妻子于一年前去世，但没有提及去世的原因

21.The old man became so upset at his wife’s death that he gave all his fortunes away to be a bum on the street

A.Right

www.123zcyy.com

B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:B

解析:该题说的是：由于老人为失去妻子感到过度伤痛，因此他放弃一切财富成了一个乞丐。倒数第三段中，老人说I am one of the wealthiest men in the world.这足以证明老人是一个富翁，他在街上流浪只不过是一种生活的体验而已

22.The old man asked me to read more about Aristotle because he thought Aristotle was the greatest philosopher in the world

A.Right B.Wrong C.Not mentioned 正确答案:C

解析:该题说的是：老人让作者多读亚里士多德的书籍，因为老人认为他是世界上最伟大的哲学家。文章最后老人拿出两本书，但是文章只是通过这两本书说明读书的重要性，至于老人对于亚里士多德的具体评价，文章并没有涉及 三.概括大意与完成句子

Angelina Jolie: A Beauty with a Soul

1 Angelina Jolie：humanitarian, mother，movie star and object of desire for men everywhere． 2 Angelina Jolie was born in LA as Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4,1975．Being the daughter of Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight，she was no stranger to the Hollywood scene in her childhood and teenage days．That，and having the face of an angel of course，gave Angelina Jolie the opportunity to become a superstar in the American movie industry!

3 Because of her relationships with famous Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt，Angelina Jolie provides a constant source of gossip for the press．But let’s not forget that Angelina Jolie has a talent for portraying strong and unusual women that has helped her to propel her to the Hollywood A—list．Today, Jolie is one of the richest female leads in the movie business．

4 Jolie’s beauty is almost legendary．For the past decade she has been voted the most beautiful woman in the world numerous times；she is，however, rather modest about her own looks．Inside sources say she is unhappy about her nose and hips and that she doesn’t consider herself to be the beauty that the rest of the world perceives her to be．

5 Angelina considers motherhood to be her most important and rewarding role to date．The 31-year-old star，along with ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton，adopted Cambodia-born Maddox in 2002 after seeing and falling in love with him at one of the country’s orphanages．Jolie says that adopting Maddox was the best decision she had ever made．In July of 2005，Jolie adopted a six-month-old girl from Ethiopia，Zahara Marley Jolie-Pitt，who was orphaned by AIDS．On May 27，2006，Jolie gave birth to a daughter named Shiloh，in Namibia．Becoming a mother certainly seems to have had a calming influence on Angelina．

6 For the past few years，the gossip and innuendo that usually surrounds Jolie has made way for coverage of the work she does as Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations．Few actors

www.123zcyy.com

and actresses of her generation spend so much time working for the poor and needy. She has personally donated $4 million since 200 1 to Pakistani earthquake victims and other causes--most recently to the maternity wards of state hospitals in Namibia，the impoverished African nation where she gave birth to her daughter Shiloh．The first photos of her new baby，which Jolie released to Getty Images，brought a reported $4.1 million payment from People magazine--Jolie elected to donate the proceeds to charity．

7 We can clearly see that Angelina Jolie is a personality with many faces．Therefore，it is rather difficult to predict what kind of career and life she will choose next．In 2004，she vowed to quit the movie business and lead a quite life with her son Maddox．Since the life of Angelina Jolie never was particularly quiet，we can surely count on more spectacular，interesting and perhaps curious career moves from her in near future! 23Paragraph 2 24Paragraph 4 25Paragraph 5 26Paragraph 6 A.Background of Jolie B. Love affairs of Jolie C. Generosity of Jolie D. Great charm of Jolie E. Maternal love from Jolie F. Inspiration from Jolie

正确答案:ADEC

解析:23.第二段讲的是茱莉的出生和身世背景，所以A“茱莉的身份背景”是正确的选项。 24.第四段主要讲的是茱莉的美貌，所以C“茱莉的魅力”是正确的选项。

25.第五段讲的是茱莉作为母亲为孩子们付出的爱，所以E“来自茱莉的母爱”是正确的选项。 26.第六段讲的是茱莉的慈善工作。所以C“茱莉的慷慨”是正确的选项。 27The press showed their strong curiosity about Jolie on 28It is said that Jolie is not satisfied with

29Jolie thought that the best decision she had ever made is 30We are not certain about Jolie’s future life because of A.her adoption of the little homeless boy B. her bottom

C. her complicated characteristics

D. her interference with the global charity work E. her love affairs with the famous movie stars F. teenager life

正确答案:EBAC

www.123zcyy.com

解析:27.问题问的是：媒体主要因为什么关注茱莉？文章第三段的Because of her relationships with famous Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt，Angelina Jolie provides a constant source of gossip for the press．提到媒体主要关注的是茱莉与一些好莱坞男星的关系。注意love affairs是relationships的同义改写。

28.问题问的是：据说茱莉对什么不甚满意？第四段提到Inside sources say she is unhappy about her nose and hips and that she doesn’t consider herself to be the beauty that the rest of the world perceives her to be．注意hips和bottom的同义改写。

29.问题问的是：茱莉认为自己最好的决定是什么？第五段的Jolie says that adopting Maddox was the best decision she had ever made．提到茱莉最好的决定就是收养了这个小孤儿。注意adoption与adoptive的词类转换。

30.问题问的是：为什么我们无法确定茱莉未来的生活？最后一段的We can clearly see that Angelina Jolie is a personality with many faces．Therefore，it is rather difficult to predict what kind of career and life she will choose next．提到茱莉是一个具有多面性格的人，注意C选项是对a personality with many faces同义改写。 四.阅读理解 1.

To Live in Harmony

So many of us hold on to little resentments that may have stemmed from an argument, a misunderstanding, or some other painful events. Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us -- believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.

An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn't very good, recently told me that she hasn't spoken to her son in almost three years. “Why not?” I asked. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn't speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, “I can't do that. He's the one who should apologize.” She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.

Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff” into really “big stuff” in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn't mean that you're wrong. Everything will be fine. You'll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be fight. You'll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be \"rightoward you. They might even reach back. But, if for some reason they don't, that's okay too. You will have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you will be more peaceful yourself. 31.The writer’s intention in writing this article is to tell us that

A.many people hold on to little resentments

www.123zcyy.com

B.when resentments occur, if someone reaches out, everyone wins C.you should do your part to create a more loving world

D.it's good to be the first one to reach out when we hold on to little resentments 正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是：作者写这篇文章主要是想告诉我们什么？主旨大意题。文章提出了问题，给出了解决方法。解决方法“主动和好”就是本文的主旨即作者的意图所在 32.What happened to the writer’s friend after she called her son

A.She was literally willing to die B.Her son said sorry to her C.She was encouraged by the author D.She realized her mistakes and felt regretful 正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是：作者的朋友主动给儿子打电话之后发生了什么事情？从第二段中可知，作者的这位熟人得到了她儿子的道歉

33.What does the writer imply by taking her acquaintance as an example

A.That both parties will be happy if one party forgets the little resentment to reach out first B.That a gentle encouragement will be helpful for those who are reluctant to reach out first C.That little resentments between friends or family members should be forgotten

D.That parents and children are much easier to make peace with each other after little

resentment occurs

正确答案:A

解析:问题问的是：通过朋友的例子，作者向我们暗示了什么？推理判断题。第二段的例子在最后给出了要论证的观点：当一个人抓住机会采取主动时，大家都是赢家 34.We can infer from the third paragraph that

A.being right in a disagreement or misunderstanding leads to resentments B.to be peaceful is more important than to be right in any disagreement C.being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy D.happiness is more important than the embarrassment at reaching out first 正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是：从第三段我们可以得出什么判断？推理判断题。第三段前面部分的意思是说，快乐比立场更重要。即使你是正确的，你也可以主动和好，让别人正确 35.According to the passage, you can be more peaceful by

A.turning “small stuff” into “big stuff” B.standing on right positions

C.understanding the importance of being right

www.123zcyy.com

D.forgetting little resentments 正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是：根据文章的意思，您最有可能在什么情况下变得平和？事实细节题。文章的最后提到“你可以变得更平和”，条件在前面这句话中：You’ll experience the peace of letting go…，letting go在这儿应理解为“摒弃前嫌”，即忘掉文章开始提到的little resentments。其他三项只会将事情弄得更糟糕 2.

The Important Things to Success

A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work. He may have the idea that he is not capable of it. A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate of his ability, older people may be handicapped by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age.

A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless. He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence. Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this. When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him. In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.

One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His newfound confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic.

This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability. 36.A person might be kept from doing good work because

A.he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental faculties B.he accepts another person's underestimate of his ability C.he has the idea that he is capable of doing .everything D.he believes in what the other people think of him 正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是：人们会受到阻碍，使自己无法有良好表现的原因是什么？事实细节题。由题干关键词hindered from doing good work定位到文章第一段首句A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work．可知，人对自己的认识可能会妨碍自己的成功。该段第三句后半句…or he may accept another person’s mistaken estimate of his ability．又提到，有些人也可能受到别人低估自己能力的影响

www.123zcyy.com

37.A person who believes in his incompetence will

A.spare no efforts to do things B.fail to go at a job but never lose heart

C.shift to learn other course instead of mathematics D.show complete lack of confidence 正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是：如果一个人认为自己没有能力胜任某项工作时会怎样？推理判断题。由题干关键词believes in his incompetence定位到文章第二段的第一.二句A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort．Because he feels that it would be useless．He won’t go at a job with the confidence necessary for success．可知，他做事时缺乏成功所必需的信心而导致了失败

38.As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because

A.he lost his self-confidence B.he was mentally retarded

C.his teacher had no confidence in herself D.his parents expected too much of him 正确答案:A

解析:问题问的是：Alfred Adler小时候数学不好的原因是什么？事实细节题。由题干关键词Alfred Adler定位到文章第二段所举出的例子，以借此说明没有信心就会失败 39.Which of the following is the most important factor to Alder's success

A.Spirit and experience B.Interest and self-respect C.Confidence and determination D.Purpose and knowledge 正确答案:C

解析:问题问的是：Alfred成功的最重要的因素是什么？事实细节题。由题干关键词Alder's success定位到文章第四段，该段指出最终取得成功的最重要因素就是由于他有了自信和决心

40.Alder's experience made him realize that

A.people are not as capable as they think B.people can be more capable than they think C.lack of knowledge leads to failure

D.lack of ability results in lack of determination 正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是：Alfred的经历使他认识到了什么？文章最后一段的开始部分This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have…．．可

Death Penalties

You brush up against a lot of weird stuff in the course of child rearing, but one phenomenon that always had me scratching my head was the parents who hit their kids to teach them that hitting was a bad thing. In their defense, they had a civic model for that kind of bizarre circular reasoning. Americans still live in one of the few countries that kill people to make clear what a terrible thing killing people is．Hardly any other civilized place does this anymore.

Last week the Supreme Court agreed to reconsider capital punishment, a boomerang the justices find coming back at them time and time again. Much of the debate about the death penalty since it reared its ugly head again in the l970s has been about whether it is disproportionately meted out to poor minorities, whether it should be permitted for juvenile offenders, whether various methods constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Most of these discussions are designed not to examine underlying deep moral issues but to allow Americans to continue to put people to death and still feel good about themselves.

Since l976，more than a thousand men and women have been executed in the United States. But during that same period more than l23 death-row inmates have been proved innocent．That’s a terrible statistical average. Put another way，more than l23 individuals truly guilty of savage crimes were walking free while someone else sat waiting on death row．And most，if not all，of those death-row inmates would have been wrongly executed if not for the lengthy appeal process death-penalty advocates like to decry.

Some years ago the execution of a woman named Karla Faye Tucker in Texas got a lot of attention. When Tucker was put to death, there was a mob scene outside the prison. Some of those who gathered there were opponents of the death penalty. Some wanted the execution to proceed．And some of the latter group danced and laughed and cheered and acted as though they were at the Super Bowl and their team had just scored a touchdown．If they had lived 300 years earlier，they would have happily paraded through streets with Karla Faye’s head on a pike.

Most people who support capital punishment can’t be counted as members of that crazy mob．But this is one of those issues where there isn’t really a middle ground．Just because the electric chair has been phased out doesn’t mean civilization has prevailed．The question isn’t whether executions can be made painless：it’s whether they’re wrong． 41.In the first paragraph，the author introduces his topic by

A.posing a contrast B.making a comparison C.presenting a lawsuit

D.exploring the root cause of murder 正确答案:B

解析:问题问的是：在第一段，作者通过什么引出主题？在第一段中，作者把家长通过打孩子来教育孩子不要打人，与国家通过对杀人犯处以死刑以便教育人们不要杀人做了一个比较，认为二者具有同样的作用，都是荒唐的，是一种循环式的怪论。言外之意，通过暴力来

www.123zcyy.com

制止暴力只能引向更多的暴力。在文章的第一段，作者实际上已经明确地表达了自己反对死刑的立场

42.Most of the debates about capital punishment surround all of following EXCEPT

A.its applicability to minor criminals B.possible unfairness in the executions C.permanent cancellation of death penalty D.means of ending the criminals’ lives 正确答案:C

解析:问题问的是：以下哪一项不是有关死刑争论的内容？参阅第二段。在作者看来，这些讨论实际上都是以赞同死刑为前提的，只不过是如何执行死刑的问题。而真正应该讨论的是：死刑到底符合不符合道德(见第二段最后一句)。它本身是不是错误的(见全文最后一句) 43.The author seems to base his argument mainly on the fact that

A.many innocent people are wrongly executed B.executing the few protects the majority

C.wrong child rearing methods lead inevitably to crimes D.giving children proper moral lessons reduces criminal cases 正确答案:A

解析:问题问的是：作者反对死刑的依据是什么？在第三段，作者提到他反对死刑的理由 44.The execution of Karla Faye Tucker is cited to show that

A.a perfectly innocent person can be put to savage death

B.many death penalty opponents are overzealous about their cause C.death is the right fate for a person who kills with a pike D.our society is far from being Civilized in its attitude to death 正确答案:D

解析:问题问的是：文中提到的有关Karla Faye Tucker的例子说明了什么？这一观点在举完例子以后——也就是在第四段最后一句表述得很清楚。文章的最后一段(尤其是该段第三句)也提到这种看法

45.The author’s attitude towards capital punishment is

A.negative B.Positive C.indifferent D.impersonal 正确答案:A

解析:问题问的是：作者对死刑持说什么态度？在文章的第一段，作者实际上已经明确地表达了自己反对死刑的立场 五.补全短文

Big Rocks

One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget.

As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he said, \"OK, time for a quiz.\" He pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him. (46) Then he carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, \"Is this jar full?\"

(47) The time management expert replied, \"Really?\" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, \"Is this jar full?\"

By this time the class was on to him. \"Probably not,\" one of them answered. \"Good!\" he replied. (48) He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, \"Is this jar full?\"

\"No!\" the class shouted. (49)Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, \"What is the point of this illustration?\" One eager student raised his hand and said, \"The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!\"

(50)The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Time with your loved ones, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, or teaching others? Remember to put these big rocks in first or you'll never get them in at all.\"

A.He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand B. \"No,\" the speaker replied, \"that's not the point C. Everyone in the class yelled, \"Yes.\" D. Once again he said, \"Good.\"

E. He figured out that where the priorities lie F. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks

正确答案:FCADB

解析:46.这里讲的是一个试验，前面提到了一加仑的广口瓶，接下来要提到的应该是另外的试验用品，由于后一句“When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside,”提到了石块高出了广口瓶，所以从指代的关系可以得出这里提到的试验材料是石块。 47.上一段最后一句提到了问题，那么这里应该是学生们的回答。该句的主语也应该是学生，因此C选项合适。

48.后一句提到了沙子填满了石块和砾石间的缝隙，由此可知老师又拿出了新的试验用品——沙子。

49.由于学生们得出了正确的答案，因此老师应该持赞许的态度，所以D选项合适，注意主

www.123zcyy.com

语he指代的是教师。

50.由于下文老师给出的答案和上文学生的答案不一致，而且后一句提到“The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all.”“这个例子真正要反映的是如果你没有先投入大块的石头，那么以后你就没法再填进去了。”所以说老师先否定了学生的答案，继而说出了正确的答案。 六.完形填空

Advertisements

A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of (51) we already know about. (52) you want to buy a washing machine, it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance, price, etc. from an advertisement. Lots of people (53) that they never read advertisements, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is (54) possible not to read advertisements these days. And what (55) they often are, too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like (56) advertisements. Would you enjoy (57) at a blank wall or reading railway bylaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a (58) to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.

We must not forget, (59), that advertising makes a positive contribution to our (60).Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not survive without this (61) of revenue. The fact that we pay so (62) for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!

Another thing we mustn't forget is the \"small ads,\" (63) are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful (64) they perform for the community!
