Jealousy is a very common problem in daily life. It’s everywhere. For example, if someone does better than you, you will get annoyed because you want to be No. 1. We may become jealous of a best friend’s top marks in an exam, or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time. We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.
It’s bad to feel jealous. We should be pleased with the things we have. But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person. Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves. And, too often, these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy.
However, envy is also a kind of compliment to others. We see that other people have styles and talents different from our own. By comparing ourselves with others, we can know what we lack. And we can turn this comparison, the envy of others, into a kind of power.
Therefore, being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like. It can push us to become what we really want to be.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從A、B、C、D四個選項中選出能回答所提問題或完成所給句子的最佳答案。
小題1:According to the first paragraph, why do you get annoyed?
A．Because the teacher dislikes others.
B．Because others do something better than you.
C．Because you are an annoying person.
D．Because you want to be No.1 in the exam and you do.
小題2:The Chinese meaning of the underlined part “speaking ill of” probably is “_____".
A．贊美B．說…的壞話C．憎恨D．說…病了
小題3:What should be the right attitude towards jealousy?
A．It’s a good thing.
B．It’s just a bad thing.
C．It’s a kind of compliment to others.
D．It makes us know what we are like and what we want to be like.

小題1:B
小題2:B
小題3:D

試題分析：本文論述了人們常有的一種心理—嫉妒，當人們看到別人取得了比自己好的成績時，就產(chǎn)生了嫉妒心理，有可能在背后就說這個人的壞話，本文最后告知我們嫉妒也使我們了解自己需要的東西。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.因為別人比你強所以心里煩惱，故選B。
小題2:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves.不是分享別人的快樂而去說別人的壞話，故選B。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like.故選D。
點評：細節(jié)理解題可以分為集中型細節(jié)理解題和分散型細節(jié)理解題。集中型：就文章的單個細節(jié)提問，答案在原文中出現(xiàn)的位置一般也位于單句話或幾句話中。因為具體細節(jié)不同，出題形式千變?nèi)f化，因題而異。分散型：題目涉及到文章某一段或幾段，甚至貫穿全文的各個位置，需要考生尋找文章中的多個細節(jié)。請注意，分散型細節(jié)理解題并不意味著題目的正確答案出現(xiàn)在文章的不同位置，正確答案往往也是關(guān)于文章的某一個句子或細節(jié)。只是說文章的干擾選項是關(guān)于不同的細節(jié)，需要我們在定位的時候閱讀某一個區(qū)域。

Many people in the village at that time could not     22   the suffering of being a fugitive（亡命者） and wanted to commit suicide. After she knew about it, she would come to those    23     ,saying, “Don’t do that     24     thing. There are no such setbacks(挫折) that we could not overcome!”
Finally she insisted until the day when all the Japanese armies were kicked out of China.   25   , her son died of disease without sufficient     26      and nutrition in those days of hardships. Her husband, after knowing the death of his son, lay in bed for two days without eating and drinking anything. She teared to her husband and said, “We have a tough destiny, but however tough our lives will be, we should also     27   . Though our son has passed away, we can have another. ”
After giving birth to the second    28    , her husband died of edema（水腫�。�, which almost    29  her away. But eventually, she    30     and held the three young children in her arms, saying, “My sweet hearts, don’t feel scared. You still have me, your dear mum!”
It took her pain efforts to     31    her children up and the life of her family was getting better and better. Two daughters were married and so was his son finally. She said to everyone she met, “Look! What I said is     32    right. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome! My life is so happy now!” She was      33    gradually and could not do the farm work anymore. So she stayed at home and did some sewing work.
Nevertheless, the Heaven seemed to show no affection to her who had undergone a   34   life. She got her leg broken      35     when she was nursing her grandson. Due to her old age that posed a great risk to her operation, she did not receive operation and had to lie in bed all day long. Her children all cried heavily, while she merely said, “Why do you cry? I am still living.”
     36     she could not rise from bed, she did not complain about anything and anybody. Instead, she sat on the bed and did some sewing work. She had learnt scarves-weaving, crafts-making, etc. All her neighbors spoke      37     of her skills and came to learn from her.
She lived until 86. Before she went to Heaven, she said to her children, “You all should live to your best. There are no such setbacks that we could not overcome!”
We will only get to realize our own iron will and strong tolerating ability after getting   38    heavily. Therefore, no matter what you are suffering from now, do not merely complain about the   39     of our destiny and maintain low-spirited all the time.

How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and, old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities(責任) to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. What’s more, life is always giving new things to the child——things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is repeatedly being told not to do something, or being punished for what he has wrongly done.
When a young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
小題1:According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that          .
A．life for a child is fairly easy
B．a(chǎn) child is always loved whatever he does
C．if much is given to a child, he must do something in return
D．only children are interested in life
小題2:The main idea of the passage is that            .
A．life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains
B．young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C．childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D．one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life
小題3:The paragraph following this passage will most probably discuss           .
A．examples of successful young men
B．how to build up one’s position in society
C．joys and pains of old people
D．what to do when one has problems in life

In 1986, when Monty Reed was a member of the Army Rangers (黑鷹突擊 隊), he had an accident. "It was a night jump, and we were jumping low," he recalls. "We were training. Somebody got too close to my parachute (降落傘)."The parachute below blocked Reed’s air and his parachute failed to open. Reed crashed a hundred feet to the ground, breaking his back in five places.
The next morning, Reed could not move. "Doctors said it was likely that I would never walk again." Reed stared out of his hospital window, wondering what the future would be like. It was the saddest moment of his life. "The experts are telling me my body doesn’t work! What am I supposed to do?" he thought.
To distract (轉(zhuǎn)移注意力) himself, he picked up a book: Robert Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. The science-fiction describes a set of man-made muscles that would allow people to carry 2,000 pounds. He thought that if he could build something like that, it might be able to lift him out of his wheelchair. So he began his project and finally succeeded in building a set of robot legs. Several years later, he made an amazing recovery and was able to get up and walk away from his wheelchair. He even jumped out of an airplane again to celebrate.
Reed wanted to do something for others with the second chance that life had given him. He has now perfected the robot legs that can get the injured, the elderly and the paralyzed (癱瘓的) out of their wheelchairs. Now he has started his own company to make the legs. "I’ve seen them compete in marathons and go swimming and mountain climbing," he said. "So never give up!"
小題1:Monty had an accident in 1986 because_______.
A．his feet hit the ground too hard

A．He didn’t lose heart in the face of difficulty.
B．He is fond of reading science fiction.
C．He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

Over the years I've been teaching children about a simple but powerful concept -- the ant philosophy (哲學).I think everybody should study ants.
They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That's a good philosophy. If they're headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they'll look for another way.
They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you're supposed to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That's an important viewpoint. You can't be so naive ( 天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.
An ancient story says, "Don't build your house on the sand in the summer. " Why do we need that advice.'? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you've got to think storm. You've got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won't last long ; we'll soon be out of here. " And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they'll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can't wait to get out.
And here's the last part of the ant-philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.
Wow, what a great seminar to attend -- the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
小題1:If you try to stop ants going forward, they will
A．climb over your headB．quit looking for a way
C．search for another wayD．keep climbing around
小題2:What is the second philosophy of ants?
A．Think winter all summer.B．Always be realistic.
C．Never become lazy in summer.D．Always look ahead.
小題3:Which of the following can best describe the third part of the ant philosophy?
A．Always stay positive.B．Always remind yourself.
C．Always think summer.D．Always be hardworking.
小題4:We can learn from the last part of the ant philosophy that we should
A．never stop gathering food in the summerB．a(chǎn)lways get prepared for the winter
C．gather as much as possible for the futureD．do whatever we can for the future
小題5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．The Concept of AntsB．The Ant Philosophy
C．Never Give upD．Do All You Can

I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood and her grandmother brought her down to meet me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, scared to look at each other.
Soon, we lost the shyness and started playing with each other, bike riding to each other’s house and having sleepovers. In 7th grade she was going through family problems. However, every summer we would always sit at each other’s house and watch movies on TV and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. She suffered from clinical depression（抑郁癥）, and had to go to a hospital during the day. I was very sorry for her at first. But with the late night calls, and meeting each other halfway up the street at midnight, we still stayed in touch. I wanted to be there for her since her new best friend left her, and I knew I still cared about her like a sister.
Yesterday she came to me and said this. “I never knew what a best friend was until you were the only person that would stop me from cutting myself; the only person that ever made me feel better about myself and my problems. You didn’t know this but I was trying to kill myself that very night you called me and I was crying. I owe you so much, and you didn’t even know you were helping me. ”
We both cried. And I guess a kind of lesson from my life so far is to never give up your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need someone there. If you leave them, you will only be very sorry. So if friends need you, and you care for them, you should be always there for them.
小題1:Why did the two girls hide behind their family members when they first met?
A．Because they were playing a game.
B．Because they didn’t like each other.
C．Because they quarreled before.
D．Because they were both shy.
小題2:What would have happened to her friend if the author had not cared about her?
A．She would have lost her new best friend.
B．She would have killed herself that night.
C．She would have run away from her family.
D．She would have stayed in hospital for a long time.
小題3:What lesson does the author learn from the story?
A．Always care for your friends.
B．Don’t care about others’ opinions.
C．Never owe your friends too much.
D．Try to be as cool as others.
