When you meet someone for the first time, you will form an impression in your mind of that person in the first moment. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers (晴雨表) for how you perceive(理解) yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate something about another unless it reflects something you love or hate yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.
Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate (闡明;照亮) more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To survive together peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective from judgment of others to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.
Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest dissatisfactions as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
1.The purpose of the author writing this passage is to advise people to _______.
A.a(chǎn)void inappropriate manners
B.learn tolerance towards others
C.pay attention to others’ needs and feelings
D.judge others favorably in any case
2.The underlined word “objectionable” in Paragraph 4 has the closest meaning to __________.
A.discouraging B.disappointing C.disgusting D.disturbing
3.According to the passage, the following statements are all true except ______.
A.You can’t really love or hate others if they are similar to you.
B.We are easily attracted by someone who is similar to us.
C.Our first judgment of a person mostly comes from our personal opinion.
D.The moment we see a stranger, our mind forms an impression of that person.
4.It can be implied from the text that __________.
A.the writer’s first reaction to the man was to judge him as offensive
B.we will need to learn tolerance to co-exist with others
C.we shouldn’t focus on judging others but should constantly reflect on our own

試題分析:本文講述了我們不喜歡的人的身上有很多我們不喜歡我們自己的地方。這些我們喜歡還是不喜歡的地方都反應出我們自己的性格的很多方面,我們不要總是去判斷別人,而是要反思我們自己。
1.B 主旨大意題。本文講述了我們不喜歡的人的身上有很多我們不喜歡我們自己的地方。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.以及文章最后一句guiding you to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.都告訴我們要學會容忍和接納。故B正確。
2.C 推理題。根據(jù)第三段1,2行Several days ago I had a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as rude and his table manners as annoying.可知我認為他是一個在餐桌上沒有禮貌的人,他的餐桌禮儀是讓人厭惡的,和前面后面的annoying.是近義詞。故C正確。
3.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一段最后2行We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.說明我們喜歡那些和我們有很多相似之處的人,不喜歡那些和我們有很多的差異的人。故A項的說法是錯誤的。
4.C 推斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段前3行Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as rude does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him.可知我們不要總是去判斷別人,而是要反思我們自己。因為在我們不喜歡的人的身上有很多我們的所不喜歡的自己的性格的反應。故C正確。

Each spring brings a new wildflower blooming in the fields along the highway I travel daily to work.
There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours. The afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day each year for about two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.
This spring, I started a wildflower garden in my yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the fields would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers.
Every day I drove past the flowers, thinking, "I'll stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty…" Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a tool one year for that expressed purpose.
One day on my way home from work, I was saddened to see that the highway department had cleared up the fields and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done it when you first saw them blooming this spring. "
A week ago we were shocked and saddened to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a cancer. She is 20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked.
I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful memories that will bloom every year for us.
And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, I'm sure I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.
1.How long might the blue flower bloom in spring?
A. About two weeks. B. The whole season.
C. About one week. D. The whole day.
2.Where did the writer want to transplant the flowers?
A. Across the fields. B. Along the highway.
C. In the garden. D. Outside the yard.
3.Which of the following is NOT true about the writer's sister-in-law?
A. She is seriously ill.
B. She is twenty years old.
C. She lives far away from the writer.
D. She is not in close touch with the writer.
4.What does the writer want to tell us?
A. Value now and don't lose chances.
B. Visit our relatives only after they get ill.
C. Refresh our wonderful moments every year.
D. Plant flowers and don't enjoy them in the field.

第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Some people have unforgettable past memories that make them sad and angry. Well, to deal with this, I suggest that you pick yourself up and move ahead. It is easier said than done! So here are a few ways to bring about the change.
Do something you really love doing. We all have interest in what we love working on, but most of us don’t have any time to do anything about them. Well, this is your time to do that! It’ll take your mind away from whatever is making you unhappy and of course it’ll help you remember your happy days in the past when you used to relax more often.
Think long and hard. I’m sure you must be doing this already, but I want you to think about the effect that forgiving other people could have. Think about whether you are ready to accept the changes this might bring.
Write about your feelings. Most people are too lazy to write, but it is often the best way to clear your mind. Write about your experiences and then forget about your past memories. On the Internet there are thousands of places where you can list out all your experiences without writing down your real name.
Make a start on this and I’m sure the frequency of your worries will decrease soon enough.
56. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how to forget bad past memories B. how to do the things we love
