A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well, but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly(肚子) or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people"s rule. They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar( 奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy to work in that way. Now the very same thing is true to literature. And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 小题1:A friend of the writer"s drew the horses ____. A.very well | B.in the way of western rule | C.in the way of his own rule | D.all of the above | 小题2:The writer was surprised because ____. A.the artist began to draw at the head of the horse | B.the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse | C.the artist made his own rule | D.the artist did not follow other people"s rule | 小题3:You are not yet experienced because ____. A.you don"t know where to begin | B.you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail | C.you always asked question | D.you do not trust to your own powers | 小题4:when you become more experienced you will ____. A.never ask question | B.often begin at the tail | C.should write the end of the story | D.should think of the beginning | 小题5:The topic of the passage is A.How to draw a horse | B.How to write a story | C.How to make your own rules | D.Trust to your own powers |

解析
文章通过一个故事告诉我们要相信自己的能力,当自己又了能力以后,从什么地方开始做都是一样的。 小题1:C 推理题。根据文章第五段And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people"s rule.说明这位艺术家是想通过自己的方法来画马,所以他才从尾巴开始,而不是和别人一样从头开始。故C正确。 小题2:D 细节题。根据第二行Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised.说明他没有从头开始画,这是我惊讶的真正原因。 小题3:D 推理题。根据最后一段2,3行That is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will never ask the question如果你不相信自己的能力,那么你就不会去体验。 小题4:C 推理题。根据文章最后两行I think that you will often begin at the tail -- that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 说明如果我们有足够的经验,我们在画之前就已经想好了结尾,那么我们就可以从最后开始画。故C正确。 小题5:D 主旨大意题。文章通过一个故事告诉我们要相信自己的能力,当自己又了能力以后,从什么地方开始做都是一样的。 |

My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It has taken many years of 36 my confidence to be able to do that. I didn’t 37 how short I was until I started school.As time went on,I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be 38 my whole life.I was determined to make my 39 an advantage rather than a disadvantage.My friends became increasingly 40 . They’d help me up the bus steps.If people were cruel,they would take them aside and 41 them. 42 I lacked in height,I 43 in personality my ability to laugh,even at myself.For example,one time I was 44 the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes.I fell 45 in and yelled for Mother,who was sitting nearby reading the paper.Watching feet 46 everywhere,she laughed and said,“I should leave you in there.” I 47 her. I’m 47 now,and the 48 have not reduced as I’ve grown older.People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse.They look 49 when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side.During those times,I try to keep a good 50 . When people are rude,I 51 myself,“Look what else I have --a great family,nice friends.” And it’s the children’s questions that make my life 52 .“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children,they are left 53 that their questions have been answered.My hope is that in taking time with them,I will 54 them to accept their peers,whatever size and shape they come in, 55 treat them with respect.

Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father. As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy"s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children"s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others" needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion(同情) for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved(保守的) man, but to everybody"s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends. Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in. 小题1:Which of the following could not be used to describe the author"s father?A.Considerate and humorous. | B.Affectionate and open-minded. | C.Energetic and helpful. | D.Learned and fashionable. | 小题2:Which of the following can best explain the underlined word“excel”?A.Show off. | B.Do better than others. | C.Be cleverer than others. | D.Keep healthy. | 小题3:According to the underlined part, the father was telling the author to _________A.try to be good to those who were worth making friends with. | B.try to take advantage of those who were friendly to her. | C.think about others and help them, but not to be made use of in a negative way. | D.think about others and help them, so that she could make them serve her. | 小题4: What can we infer about the author?A.She appreciated her father because he solved all the problems for her. | B.She considered her father humorous and was often made to laugh by him. | C.She was outstanding in work because her father pushed her hard. | D.She had compassion for the fatherless. |
