阅读理解。                                                               Community College
     Here I am, a senior. After four years of high school, I have learned a lot of lessons. Some were
good and valuable. And I have also learned others just from growing up and being around other
teenagers.
     I started senior year with a 1.5 GPA (=grade point average平均分,相当于65%), which is not
even close to what I am capable of. The last three years I fooled around and cut lots of classes. Now,
I can easily say that it is the only thing in life that I regret. Next year I will watch most of my friends go
to college while I lost that chance. This does not mean that I am giving up on my dreams, but when I
started high school, my goal was to get great grades and go to a competitive college.
     At first I blamed the people around me for my bad experiences, but I"ve learned that it"s my fault
when bad things happen. In the last three years I realized that I am the only one in control of myself.
While making my teachers and my peers the excuse for not wanting to go to class, I developed a huge
lying problem.
     If I could start over, I would in a heartbeat, but I can"t, so instead of beating myself up, I try talking
to younger teenagers about the importance of doing well in school by explaining the situation I got myself
into. Community college looks like a great opportunity. I am looking forward to taking many credits and
receiving good grades. I see community college as a year to turn my life around. It"s my ticket out of here
to wherever I want to go. I have another chance to make my future and I"ve promised myself I won"t
mess up.
     We need to study history so we won"t repeat our past; I"ve studied my personal history, and will
avoid my mistakes in the future. I am ready for the next task in life, the only question is, is it ready for
me?1. The author takes the community college seriously because he wants to ________.  A. show his ability to be one of the top students
B. prove that others did wrong to him before
C. improve himself and win others" respect
D. get the opportunity to apply for a good job2. Which of the following is NOT the author"s advice?  A. To behave well at school is necessary.
B. Others should be blamed for our hard time.
C. Learn from past, don"t make mistakes.
D. Be hopeful, choose community college.3. From the passage, we know that the author is ________.A. easygoing and hard working                        
B. confident and responsible
C. sensible and independent              
D. honest and ambitious4. The underlined phrase "fooled around" in the second paragraph means "________".  A. wasted time    
B. played tricks
C. made faces          
D. felt ashamed
答案

举一反三
阅读理解     A lot of people are their own enemies. They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and
often feel that there have been no accomplishments (成就) in their lives. In my first year of college
especially, I saw people get themselves down too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. When they
disappeared for good(长久地), no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after
that first test.
     I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say: "You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college. Breathe. Hope. Act." Such people should not use
self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should start taking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up without even trying.1. The phrase "get themselves down" (Para. 1) probably means ______. A. tell lies  
B. lose confidence    
C. avoid dangers    
D. waste time2. When the two students dropped out (退学), no one took much notice because ______. A. they had long lost heart in class performance
B. they were absent from class too often
C. they didn"t get on well with other students
D. they were so much cut off from the rest of the class3. According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of their ______. A. shyness    
B. proudness    
C. self-doubt    
D. laziness4. The author thinks that the two students should ______. A. give up their college education        
B. learn from other students
C. feel happy because they are in college      
D. try hard before giving up

阅读理解。     One of my closest friends has a family tradition that I quite like, and I"ve been slowly trying
to implement(实施) in my own family. Basically, each year after Thanksgiving dinner, all of the
people sit around in the living room and each person takes a few minutes and talks about the
thing they are most thankful about over the last year. Everyone in the family takes the question
seriously and answers it honestly, giving thanks for what really matters and adds value to their life.
     This is something I"ve actually thought about a lot in the last year, and I really came up with
two things, one obvious and one not so much.
     The first one, obviously, is the conception and birth and healthiness of my daughter. She"s a
healthy, happy twomonthold baby who smiles a lot and very much enjoys sitting on her dad"s lap.
I am so thankful for having this wonderful baby in my life, and thankful that she has the gift of
good health.
     The second one isn"t my financial turnaround (as some of you might have expected-that was
what I was most thankful for last year). Instead, I am thankful for the discovery of the value of
writing in my life. A year ago, The Simple Dollar was only a few weeks old and was far from
popular yet-according to my data, on Thanksgiving Day last year I had about 60 subscribers.
The process of writing was bringing me enjoyment. This past year showed me otherwise, and I
am deeply thankful for it. After thinking about it for a while, I began to realize that it is a very
powerful and wonderfully positive exercise. You spend time reflecting deeply on the positives in
your life, and you often realize that even when things are bad, you do have lots to be thankful for
because there is a lot of good in your life, and it can shine a bright light even in a dark spot in your
life. I hope to repeat this each year on Thanksgiving, because it brought forth a pretty strong joy in
my life today.1. What does the family tradition mentioned in the first paragraph refer to? A. Having Thanksgiving dinner together.
B. Enjoying the warm family atmosphere together.
C. Talking about the things they appreciate most.
D. Talking about their attitude towards future life.2. The author is thankful for the fact that ________. A. she has a happy and healthy baby
B. her daughter likes playing with her dad
C. her daughter makes her dull life full of fun
D. her daughter is losing weight3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.  A. the author keeps doing exercise to strengthen her body
B. the author once suffered financial difficulty
C. the author will not go on writing until she discovers the value of writing
D. writing has made the author known nationwide4. According to the last paragraph, what does the author realize?A. People should have low expectation.
B. People should find a suitable career.
C. People should reflect on their mistakes.
D. People should hold a positive attitude.

阅读理解。     Nobody knows for absolute certainty all the details of the life of Aesop. However, scholars have
been working to established some facts and this is the brief story of Aesop as it is accepted today.
     Aesop was born a slave around the year 620 B.C. In Ancient Greece , it was a privilege and
tradition of freedmen to be interested in public affairs, so Aesop worked hard to raise himself from a
servile slave"s position to a high position of renown. He was a thinker and philosopher and eventually
became widely admired.
     Aesop was a smart man and a good speaker. He liked to learn and to also teach people, so he
traveled through many countries. He came to Sardis, the capital of the famous king Croesus of Lydia
who was a patron of learning and learned men.
     Croesus was so impressed by Aesop that he invited Aesop to permanently reside at Sardis. The
king hired Aesop to do diplomatic government work such as trying to establish peace between the
various republics of Greece. Aesop reconciled the inhabitants of these cities by telling his wise fables.
     It was on one of these ambassadorial missions that Aesop was killed. Croesus had sent him to
Delphi with lots of gold which was to be distributed among the citizens. After talking with the people
of Delphi, Aesop got so mad at the citizens because of their covetousness. He refused to divide the
money and instead sent it back to his master. The Delphians were so mad they executed Aesop as a
public criminal.
     As it often happens in Greek history, the Delphians were visited by a series of calamities as a sort
of retribution for Aesop"s death. This is where the phrase "the blood of Aesop" originated. The saying
means "wrongful deeds will not go unpunished".
     In memory of Aesop, a statue was erected in Athens. The statue was created by the famous Greek
sculptor, Lysippus.1. Why did Aesop work so hard?A. Because he wanted to be an official.  
B. Because he desired to join in public affairs.
C. Because he wanted to make more money.  
D. Because he wanted to write wise fables.2. According to Paragraph 3, Aesop traveled through many countries to __________.A. spread knowledge  
B. seek help    
C. admire the scenery  
D. collect facts3. Croesus hired Aesop to _________.A. establish relations with other republics    
B. handle interal affairs of Lydia
C. be in charge of his wealth            
D. publish the neighboring republics of Greece4. Which of the following word can best describe Croesus?A. Strong-willed.    
B. Generous.      
C. Adventurous.      
D. Knowledgeable.5. The phrase "the blood of Aesop" probably means "__________".A. No pains, no gains.                  
B. Well begun is half done.
C. It"s no use crying over spilt milk.        
D. Wrongful deeds will not go unpunished.
