14.It's amazing how we grow from careless kids to responsible teens.What happens in the course that makes us responsible now?It's the seed that we sow(播種) in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree.As I sit here,silently thinking about my growth,I wonder over some questions which don't have an answer but it's because of such unanswerable situations that life has become a roller coaster ride.
As a kid,I used to read a lot of story books.In one particular book,I read a story of a bird.From then on,that has become an integral (必不可少的) part of my life.It described a male bird which takes a lot of pain to build a nest and the female bird takes shelter in it and nourishes(哺育) the baby.When the bird learns to fly,the whole family flies off to a different place leaving behind the beautiful nest for other birds to grow their family in it.It made me wonder.How could they so easily give up their house built with so much effort?
One night,when I was deep in sleep,I got this particular dream.I was walking miles on the endless road,completely separated but lined with beautiful trees on the either side.Fascinated by the greenery,I marched towards it only to end up deeper and deeper into the greenery.I happened to stop upon seeing something.It was a massive,wonderful house.I fell in love with that amazing part of art.Yeah,it was indeed a piece of art with every nook and corner touched artistically and lovingly.I don't know why I felt that it was done lovingly.Maybe because things turn out to be beautiful only when we put our love into it---just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love.
I explored the house only to fall more in love with it.There was a sloping(斜的) roof which matched with the greenery around; the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted.The small water body that kept the house cool added to the beauty of the house-of course,it was all dried up now.It's really wonderful how such things add life to the spaces which otherwise just become structures.Such liveliness and happening turns the house into a home.They say‘THE HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS',but now I began to feel it.This is where my heart belongs.This is what I'm destined(注定的) to do.
When I woke up from the dream,I was clear about everything.I realized where that mile of walk was intending me to lead.I realized what message my dream wanted to convey(傳遞) me.And years later,when finally my turn of choosing my destination came,I simply closed my eyes,held that book in my hand,pressed it against my chest and relived the dream.When I opened my eyes,I was sure what to do.I decided to choose the road-less traveled.Yes,I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do.I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did,to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it.This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable.

分析 短文主要講了作者小時候看到鳥撫育小鳥長大后去往另一個地方這個故事,并從他自己的夢中作者悟出"家"的意義,以及到長大后作者為何把建筑當成他的事業(yè)-----把建筑作為我的專業(yè)是因為這是我注定要做的事.

解答 66.B,細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章的第二段中的"How could they so easily sacrifice their house built with so much effort?"可知作者在思考為何鳥兒可以如此輕易地犧牲自己費力搭建的鳥巢,當時他是"困惑的"(confused)符合語境,故選B.
67.C,推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章的第一段和最后一段中的"It's the seed that we sow in the beginning which grows and becomes a huge tree."以及"I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do.I wanted to do the same thing that the male bird in the story did,to take pain in building a beautiful house and let others stay in it."可知指的是故事中的鳥,故答案選C.
68.A,細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章的第三段中的"…just like the food prepared by mom which tastes more delicious with her love."可知,母親做的飯之所以好吃,是因為她在用她的"愛"在做,故選A..
69.C,推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章的第四段中的"the large central open courtyard reminded me of the activities that might have taken place there which felt lively even now when it is completely deserted."可知,房子里充滿生機最能吸引作者,故選C.
70.D,主旨大意題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"I took up architecture as my profession because this is what I am destined to do."以及"This is my dream come true and the happiness that I gain now from this profession is indescribable."可知這一段主要講的是作者為什么把建筑當成他的事業(yè),故答案為D.

點評 解答任務型閱讀理解題,首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關信息.最后,要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準.

9.Success is so much more than just money or fame.(36)G.If you want to have a successful life,if you want to create a life that makes you feel passionate to be alive,here are the three tings you need to focus on.
Believe In Yourself
If you don't believe in yourself,how do you expect other people to?
If you don't believe that you can have the life you desire,if you don't believe that you can achieve all that you are setting out to achieve,it is going to be very difficult to create a successful life.(37)C.It also helps you to take a leap of faith when it comes to going after what it is that you truly desire.
(38)A.
If your intention is simply rooted in money and fame,chances are you are never going to truly feel successful.The feeling of success that is given through money and fame is only temporary and is not enough to sustain a long-term feeling of fulfillment and happiness.
(39)E.When your intention is to serve your purpose,make a change in the world and express your gifts and talents,you will feel true success and satisfaction no matter what the outcome.
Realize You Are Already Successful
Success is all around you and flows through you and the more you can welcome that into your life,the more you will Mart to feel it.
Being grateful for the tiniest successes in life will also help you to create more and more success.(40)F.The truth is that you are already successful and once you realize this,there is no stopping what you can do.
A.Know Your Intention.
B.Realize your dream.
C.When you believe in yourself,it fuels your creativity,your ambitions and your motivation to do things.
D.Success is the result of preparation,hard work and learning from failure.
E.For a truly successful life,your intention has to be rooted in your purpose,in your passions and in what feels good to you.
F.This is a powerful mindset shift and one that will help you to align (使結盟)with your ambitions and dreams.
G.Success is about being able to live a happy and fulfilling life that allows you to be true to who you really are.

19.Tired of all the pushing in supermarkets?Fed up with waiting in endless lines to pay for what you have bought?Angry at wasting time in traffic jams only to find no parking spaces when you eventually arrive at the store?If this is you,then online shopping is the answer to your dreams of trouble-free shopping.Or is it?
Online shopping brings its own challenges.Here are a few things to bear in mind when browsing various websites.The claim made by online sites is that shoppingonline is a safe and secure way to make purchases.The evidence challenges this.In any case,you only have to be the victim of fraud (詐騙) once to experience all the problems that come with this form of stealing.Use only sites that have a trusted history and an excellent reputation.
Another problem is the appearance of items in reality is often quite different from what you see on your computer screen.This might not be a problem if you are buying washing up powder but could be a major disappointment when that beautiful blue dress you ordered turns up in green.Also,product descriptions are sometimes simply untrue.Perhaps the wisest plan is to purchase items where design and color are not essential to customer satisfaction.
Some even argue that online shopping indirectly contributes to global warming.Yes,your car can stay parked but how are online goods delivered?Often by some large vans pouring out carbon monoxide and adding to our already desperate traffic problems.You are also by now becoming increasingly irritated (使煩惱) by the fact that the delivery is late and you have wasted the leave from work you have taken to receive it!
Without question,online shopping is here to stay and it has its benefits.However,perhaps it is not as wonderful as some of its supporters claim it to be.

59.The author lists several questions in Para.1 toD.
A.support online shopping              B.collect answers from readers
C.show his dislike of going shopping       D.introduce the topic of the passage
60.The author agrees with the fact thatD.
A.customers are never satisfied with online products
B.online shopping is a safe way to make purchases
C.online shopping has nothing to do with global warming
D.delivery delay often makes online shoppers unhappy
61.What is the author's attitude towards online shopping?C
A.Very popular.B.A wise choice.C.Not trouble free.D.A waste of time.
