16.In this age of Internet chat,videogames and reality television,there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied.Yet,despite the competition,my 8-year-old daughter Rebecca wants to spend her leisure time writing short stories.She wants to enter one of her stories into a writing contest,a competition she won last year.
As a writer I know about winning contests,and about losing them.I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher.I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories.What if she doesn't win the contest again?That's the strange thing about being a parent.So many of our own past scars and dashed hopes can surface.
A revelation (啟示) came last week when I asked her,-Don‘t you want to win again?‖-No,‖she replied,-I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade.‖
I had just spent weeks correcting her stories as she spontaneously (自發(fā)地) told them.Telling myself that I was merely an experienced writer guiding the young writer across the hall,I offered suggestions for characters,conflicts and endings for her tales.The story about a fearful angel starting first grade was quickly-guided‖by me into the tale of a little girl with a wild imagination taking her first music lesson.I had turned her contest into my contest without even realizing it.
Staying back and giving kids space to grow is not as easy as it looks.Because I know very little about farm animals who use tools or angels who go to first grade,I had to accept the fact that I was co-opting (借用) my daughter‘s experience.
While stepping back was difficult for me,it was certainly a good first step that I will quickly follow with more steps,putting myself far enough away to give her room but close enough to help if asked.All the while I will be reminding myself that children need room to experiment,grow and find their own voices.

41.What do we learn from the first paragraph?A
A.Many senseless activities compete for children‘s time nowadays.
B.Children do find lots of fun in many mindless activities today.

D.She could no longer stand any pressure from writing.

C.She was sure of winning with her mother‘s help.
D.She had won a prize in the previous contest.
44.From the underlined part in Paragraph 4 we can infer that the writerA.
A.had unconsciously done too much while correcting her daughter‘s story
B.had already offered practical suggestions for her daughter‘s story
C.had nearly replaced her daughter to take part in the contest
D.had successfully turned her daughter into a young writer
45.What‘s the writer‘s advice for parents?D
A.Parents should spare no effort to make their children successful writers.
B.Parents should keep an eye on the activities their children engage in.
C.Children should be given proper guidance to become more excellent.

分析 本文是一篇夾敘夾議的文章,這篇文章講述了一個(gè)作家母親指導(dǎo)女兒寫(xiě)作的故事,通過(guò)作者的親身經(jīng)歷向人們揭示出當(dāng)今社會(huì)的子女教育問(wèn)題.告訴我們要給孩子自由發(fā)展的空間,不要把自己的思想強(qiáng)加于孩子們.

解答 41.A    推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段第一句話(huà)"In this age of Internet chat,videogames and reality television,there is no shortage of mindless activities to keep a child occupied"可知,在這個(gè)網(wǎng)絡(luò)聊天,電子游戲,真人電視的年代,從沒(méi)有缺少不動(dòng)腦筋的活動(dòng)使得孩子們保持忙碌.故選A.
42.C    細(xì)節(jié)判斷題.根據(jù)文章的第二段前半部分"I know what it is like to work hard on a story only to receive a rejection slip from the publisher.I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories"可知,作為一個(gè)作家,我享受過(guò)奪得競(jìng)賽優(yōu)勝的喜悅,也品嘗過(guò)失敗的滋味.我知道辛辛苦苦寫(xiě)出來(lái)一個(gè)故事、結(jié)果卻得到一張出版商的退稿信時(shí)的感受.我同樣知道奪得優(yōu)勝后再想保住這份榮譽(yù)的壓力.故選C.
43.B   細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段"she replied,-I just want to tell the story of an angel going to first grade."可知,她想告訴人們一個(gè)上小學(xué)一年級(jí)的天使的故事,也即想與人們(至少是讀到它的人)分享這個(gè)故事,故選B.
44.A  句意理解題.很明顯此句話(huà)的意思是:不知不覺(jué)的我把女兒的競(jìng)賽變成了我的競(jìng)賽.說(shuō)明我在盡力地使得女兒按照我的希望去做.故選A.
45.D  理判斷題.根據(jù)第四段的大意可知,第一步,我不再干擾孩子,而后,給她空間的同時(shí)又能在需要時(shí)隨時(shí)提供幫助.作者隨時(shí)提醒自己,孩子需要嘗試、成長(zhǎng)以及表達(dá)自我的空間.故選D.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí),一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法,即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子,與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案;推理判斷題既要求學(xué)生透過(guò)文章表面文字信息推測(cè)文章隱含意思,又要求學(xué)生對(duì)作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷,力求從作者的角度去考慮,不要固守自己的看法或觀(guān)點(diǎn).

In the age of"peep culture,"a tell-all,show-all,know-all digital phenomenon is (48)dramatically changing notions of privacy,individuality,security,and even humanity.Susan Boyle became a(n) (49)overnight celebrity because of peep culture.The entire world was staring at her after her (50)transformation from a resident of a small Scottish town to a global celebrity.We like the story because she's like a movie,but she's real.

8.Start Small and Grow Big
Jack Ma,F(xiàn)ounder and Chairman of e-commerce(電子商務(wù)) giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.,is one of those self-made billionaires in the technology field.His rags-to-riches journey is just as spectacular as his Internet Empire.
Jack Ma,whose Chinese name is Ma Yun,was born in a normal family in 1964.Like most Chinese parents back then,Ma's father beat him growing up.He was poor at math but loved English.Starting at age 12,he awoke at 5a.m.to walk or bicycle to Hangzhou's main hotels so he could practice his English with foreign tourists.He did this for nine years and acted as a free tour guide to many,befriended several and later visited one family in Australia.Those experiences opened his eyes.
After twice failing the national college entrance exams,Ma entered what he called"Hangzhou's worst college."Graduating in 1988,Ma married his college sweetheart and taught English at a local college for five years,earning 15a month.During that time,he also applied for jobs at a local KFC,a hotel and the city police,and failed to land.
Determined to enter business,Ma set up a translation company,but he still had to peddle goods on the street to get by.During a short trip to the US as an interpreter in 1995,Ma first experienced the Internet.He believed in the Internet's business potential when few other people did.In 1999,with the help of more than a dozen friends who pooled their resources-just 60,000-he started Alibaba in his Hangzhou apartment.At that time,e-commerce was unheard of in China."I called myself a blind man riding on the back of blind tigers,"he once said,according to The Guardian.His unusual ideas earned him the nickname"Crazy Jack Ma".
Since its foundation,Alibaba has grown from 15employees to more than 30,000.The company floated on the New York Stock Market in September 2014for 25billion-the largest public offering in history.The company now makes more profit than rivals Amazon.com and e-Bay combined.Alibaba has directly and indirectly created 40million jobs for China.Ma hopes to keep expanding Alibaba outside of China (the company is already big in Russia and Brazil) and is aiming for 2billion consumers and 10million small businesses to use the company abroad.
Ma's lifestyle is very simple and modest.Ma enjoys meditation(冥想) in the mountains,playing poker with friends and writing his own kung fu novels.Forest Gump is Jack Ma's hero.
"Forest Gump never gives up and believes in what he is doing,"said Ma.He also quoted the phrase"Life is like a box of chocolates because you never know what you're going to get."
56.What made him into e-commerce industry?B
A.His English learning experience.
B.His foresight and ambitions.
C.His simple and modest lifestyle.
D.His friends and 60,000funds.

B.Ma was a blind man riding on a blind tiger
C.Ma had not enough money at that time
