3.My grandparents believed that you were either honest or you were not.They had a simple saying hanging on their living-room wall:"Life is like a field of newly fallen snow.Where I choose to walk every step will show."They didn't have to talk about it; they showed this truth by the way they lived.
They understood that honesty is an inner(內(nèi)部的) standard for judging your behavior.Unfortunately,honesty is in short supply today.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.
There's a story told about a surgical nurse's first day on the medical team at a well-known hospital.She was responsible(負責) for all surgical instruments and materials during an operation.At the end of the operation,the nurse said to the doctor,"You've only removed 11sponges(海綿),and we used 12.We need to find the last one."
"I removed them all,"the doctor assured her."No,you didn't,sir,"insisted the nurse."Think of the patient."
Smiling,the doctor lifted his foot and showed the nurse the twelfth sponge.
So when you know you're right,you can't yield.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.
Self-respect and a clear awareness (意識)of right and wrong are powerful parts of honesty and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Honesty means you do what you do because it's right and not just fashionable or politically correct.A life of principle,of not easily yielding,will always take you forward.My grandparents taught me that.

32.From the first two paragraphs,we can infer thatC.
A.the author's grandparents liked snow
B.the author's grandparents didn't like chatting
C.the author is worried about the issue of honesty in today's society
D.Honesty is the most important standard for judging one's behavior
33.The nurse insisted there was still a sponge becauseB
A.she saw the doctor hide the twelfth sponge
B.she believed she was right
C.she thought the doctor was not responsible
D.she knew the patient well
34.What does the underlined word"yield"mean in the text?B
A.a(chǎn)dmit        B.give in         C.stop         D.look forward
35.How does the text mainly develop?A
A.By providing an example of honesty.
B.By making a comparison between honesty and dishonesty.
C.By explaining the author's grandparents'belief in detail.
D.By following the order of importance.

分析 本文主要講了今天的誠信是供不應(yīng)求的,但它是社會各方面真正的底線,也是我們必須要求自己遵守的紀律.誠信誠實意味著你做你所做的事情,因為它是正確的.

解答 32.C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段的句子Unfortunately,honesty is in short supply today.But it is the real bottom line in every area of society and a discipline (自制能力) we must demand of ourselves.不幸的是,今天的誠信是供不應(yīng)求的,但它是社會各方面真正的底線,也是我們必須要求自己遵守的紀律.可以推斷出作者擔心現(xiàn)在社會中誠信問題.
33.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)句子So when you know you're right,you can't yield.Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.所以,當你知道你是對的,你就不能屈服,不要害怕那些可能有更好主意的人,或者甚至比你更聰明的人.可以推斷出那個護士堅持是因為她認為她是正確的,所以答案選B.
34.B 猜測詞義題.根據(jù)句子 Don't be afraid of those who might have a better idea or who might even be more intelligent than you are.不要害怕那些可能有更好主意的人,或者甚至比你更聰明的人.可以猜測前文So when you know you're right,you can't yield.應(yīng)該是:所以,當你知道你是對的,你就不能屈服,答案選B.
35.A 推理判斷題  本文提出自己的擔憂之后用一個護士的故事展示了關(guān)系誠實,誠信的話題.所以答案選A.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準確把握作者觀點.

Subject:An Inquiry of the Alert Service
Good afternoon,
I am writing to request more information on your new Automated Alert Service,as advertised on your Website.I have had both personal and commercial accounts with Citizens'Bank for many years.Often,I find it necessary to move money between accounts.Because of this,it is vital that I keep a close eye on the cash flow of all of my accounts,to assure that their balances stay above the required minimums.Therefore,I have been searching for an economical means of keeping better track of my finances.I was considering purchasing software for this purpose,but I think that your new service might be a convenient alternative.

18.The American tradition of"trick-or-treating"probably dates back to the early All Souls'Day parades (游行) in England.During the festivities,poor citizens would beg for food and families would give them pastries called"soul cakes"in return for their promise to pray for the family's dead relatives.
The distribution of soul cakes was encouraged by the Church as a way to replace the ancient practice of leaving food and wine for wandering spirits.The practice,which was referred to as"going-a-souling"was eventually taken up by children who would visit the houses in their neighborhood and be given apples,food,and money.
The tradition of dressing in costume for Halloween has both European and Celtic roots.Hundreds of years ago,winter was an uncertain and frightening time.Food supplies often ran low and,for the many people afraid of the dark,the short days of winter were full of constant worry.On Halloween,when it was believed that ghosts came back to the earthly world,people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes.To avoid being recognized by these ghosts,people wou1d wear masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits.On Halloween,to keep ghosts away from their houses,people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease(使平息,使?jié)M足) the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.

28.What is the passage mainly talking about?B
A.The root of an English festival,All Souls'Day.
B.The root of some American traditions on Halloween.
C.Why do children go to houses and ask for"treat"?
D.Why people like to dress up for Halloween?
29.On early All Souls'Day,"soul cakes"were given away in the hope thatA.
A.the poor people would pray for their dead loves
B.the food could save some poor people's lives
C.the church would help them to go to heaven
D.the poor wouldn't break their houses
30.What is"go-a-souling"originally intended for?
A.Children            B.The church            C.The poorD D.The ghosts
31.On Halloween,people would dress up and put food outside in order toD.
A.make friends with their dead relatives
B.a(chǎn)ttract their dead relatives back home
C.make the wandering spirits pleased

15.Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer who helped shape the course of American literature.His life was full of tragedies,but he had the great influence on the 19th-century American literature and continues to influence writers to this day.
The early life of Edgar Allan Poe was quite unhappy.Born in 1809,Poe was not yet three years old when his parents died.Adopted by a wealthy family,he got into trouble at school.He entered the United States Military Academy at West Point,but he dropped out without graduating.His misery continued to his adult life.Later,because of a failed marriage,he suffered from mental illness.He was so upset about real life that he turned to writing.Expressing himself in an unreal and imaginary world was his only comfort.
The tragedies in Poe's life influenced the tone,style and contents of his writing.His stories usually include death,which help build his reputation as a master of"dark"literature.In his The Tell-Tale Heart,the main character goes crazy and kills his roommate while in The Black Cat,the main character kills his cat in a fit of madness.
Poe died at the age of 40 in 1849.His life is short,but his influence is very great.Poe is credited with(被譽為) creating crime fiction,and many say he contributed greatly to the appearance of science fiction.Fascinated(著迷) by the scientific theories and new inventions of his time,he wrote about imaginary societies in the future.Writers such as Arthur Conan Doyle,the author of Sherlock Holmes,regarded Poe as the father of detective fiction.Jules Verne,a French writer who helped popularize science fiction,said Poe's work had a direct influence on the stories he wrote.

24.Poe began to write toB.
A.earn his living                       
 B.find comfort in writing
C.build a good reputation                 
D.create a beautiful world
25.It can be learnt that Poe's works often reflectB.
A.soldier's life                          
B.his own life stories
C.some political problems                
 D.a(chǎn) sense of peace
26.Which can best show Poe's influence on literature according to the last paragraph?A
A.His creation of crime fiction           
B.His unique writing experience
C.His creation of scientific theories
