6．We have a strange and strong belief in the idea of perfection．Driven by our culture，we struggle for an unattainable ideal：If I have the perfect parents，perfect grades，perfect…，then I would be happy．We seek what we can't have without remembering that we don't actually need to be perfect．Imperfection allows us to be human．
Parents，teachers and other high-achieving peers will have us believe that we must be perfect if we wish to remain competitive．However，what job or school requires you to develop a cure for some form of cancer by the age of 18？Although these grades would be admirable achievements，are they worth losing sleep over？We feel like we need the perfect grades to get into the perfect college that will provide us with the perfect education necessary to obtain the perfect job．Making use of our thirst for perfection，the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals．
Truth is，you only need to be good enough to get into the conversation．It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart．Focus more on your passions．Don't worry about anything secondary to your passions．You don't become an expert at anything if you spent your time trying to succeed in everything you do．You only become an expert when you devote your time to that one project that truly brings you joy．
As members of this society，we have a responsibility to be excellent in what we do，not perfect．Although perfection can be a goal，it should not be the only goal．We only have 24 hours in a day and seven days in a week．Thus，we need to plan what we want to do and cut out the activities we cannot do．
With everything，though，make sure you're doing enough．Pursuing your passions is not enough of a reason to completely give up on everything else．Try as hard as you can and let your future worry about itself．Worry about your task at hand and you will be successful in achieving your dreams．Most of all，remember that you're going to be okay．
8．It is implied in Paragraph 1 that there is a culture whereB．
A．Students are driven to learn concepts
B．great importance is attached to perfection
C．imperfect people aren't happy at all
D．perfect grades result from remembering facts
9．We can infer from the second paragraph thatD．
A．a(chǎn) perfect grade is worth losing sleep over
B．the whole college and career industries are perfect
C．some schools ask students to invent some medicine
D．someone is profiting from our search for perfection
10．According to the author，we shouldB．
A．see becoming perfect as our responsibility
B．deal with what we hope to do first
C．set a goal of perfection in our life
D．worry about our future dreams
11．What might be the most suitable title for the passage？B
A．How to be perfect
B．Being enough is enough
C．Finding your own passions
D．Giving up your secondary goals．

分析 本文屬于議論文，很多人都追求完美，也在為完美付出了巨大的努力．但是我們并不需要給自己如此巨大的壓力，只要自己努力即可．

解答 8．B，推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段第二句Driven by our culture，we struggle for an unattainable ideal：If Ihave the perfect parents，perfect grades，perfect…，then I would be happy．可知被我們的文化所驅(qū)使，我們在努力讓自己更加完美．也就是說在我們的文化中，人們追求完美．故B正確．
9．D，推理判斷題．根據(jù)本段最后一句Making use of our thirst for perfection，the whole college and career industries have emerged claiming to help us reach our goals．利用我們對完美的渴望，大學(xué)以及相關(guān)的行業(yè)都聲稱會幫助我們實(shí)行目標(biāo)．幾乎所有人相關(guān)的人都會從中受益．故D項(xiàng)正確．
10．B，推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段二、三、四句It is what you do afterwards that sets you apart．Focus moreon your passions．Don't worry about anything secondary to your passions．我們首先要聚焦于我們的激情，也就是要做我們喜歡做的事情．故B正確．
11．B，標(biāo)題歸納題，短文主要講了很多人都追求完美，也在為完美付出了巨大的努力．但是我們并不需要給自己如此巨大的壓力，只要自己努力即可，因此最好的標(biāo)題是B選項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評 解答任務(wù)型閱讀理解題，首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽，掌握全文的主旨大意．因?yàn)殚喿x理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題，所以，速讀全文，抓住中心主旨很有必要，在速讀的過程中，應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料．其次，細(xì)讀題材，各個擊破．掌握全文的大意之后，細(xì)細(xì)閱讀每篇材料后的問題，弄清每題要求后，帶著問題，再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息．最后，要善于抓住每段的主題句，閱讀時，要有較強(qiáng)的針對性．對于捕獲到的信息，要做認(rèn)真分析，仔細(xì)推敲，理解透徹，只有這樣，針對題目要求，才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn)．

5．Usually，when your teacher asks a question，there is only one correct answer．But there is one question that has millions of correct answers．That question is"What's your name？"Everyone gives a different answer，but everyone is correct．
Have you ever wondered about people's names？Where do they come from？What do they mean？
People's first names，or given names，are chosen by their parents．Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used．Some parents choose the name of a well-known person．A boy could be named George Washington Smith； a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones．
Some people give their children names that mean good things．Clara means"bright"； Beatrice means"one who gives happiness"； Donald means"world ruler"； Leonard means"as brave as a lion"．
The earliest last names，or surnames，were taken from place names．A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near brook（小溪）； someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long，paved road．The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest．
Other early surnames came from people's occupations．The most common occupational name is Smith，which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals．In the past，smiths were very important workers in every town and village．Some other occupational names are：Carter-a person who owned or drove a cart； Potter-a person who made pots and pans．
The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village．The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture．
Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin，or their size，or their special abilities．When there were two men who were named John in the same village，the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray．Or the John was very tall could call himself John Tallman．John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer．
Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name．English-speaking people added-s or-son．The Johnsons are descendants of John； the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert．Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O．Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell．
36．Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover？B
A．Places where people lived．
B．People's characters．
C．Talents that people possessed．
D．People's occupations．
37．According to the passage，the ancestors of the Potter family most probablyC．
A．owned or drove a cart          
B．made things with metals
C．made kitchen tools or containers   
D．built houses and furniture
38．Suppose and English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader，the baby might be namedD．
A．Beatrice Smith          
B．Leonard Carter
C．George Longstreet       
D．Donald Greenwood．

1．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．（31）B Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays （紫外線）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（32）C
•Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．（33）G Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
•（34）A As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．Vitamins（維生素） C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隱形眼鏡）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．（35）F Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

A．Eat your greens．
B．Eye care should begin early in life．
C．They can properly protect your eyes．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
F．Always follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．
G．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．

11．It was Saturday when the entire summer world was bright and fresh．Tom looked at the fence，which was long and high，feeling all enthusiasm leaving him．He dipped his brush into the whitewash before moving it along the top board of the fence．He knew other boys would arrive soon with all minds of interesting plans for this day．As walking past him，they would tease him for having to work on a beautiful Saturday-which burnt him like fire．
He，putting his hands into his pockets and taking out all he owned with the expectation of letting someone paint，found nothing that could buy half an hour of freedom．At this dark and hopeless moment，a wonderful idea occurred to him，pouring a great bright light into his mind．He took up his brush and continued to work pleasantly with calm and quietness．
Presently，Ben Rogers came in sight-munching an apple and making joyful noises like the sound of a riverboat as he walked along．Tom went on whitewashing，paying no attention to the steamboat．
"Hello!"Ben said，"I'm going swimming，but you can't go，can you？"
No answer．Tom moved his brush gently along the fence and surveyed the result．Ben came nearer．Tom's mouth watered for Ben's apple while he kept painting the fence．
Ben said，"That's a lot of work，isn't it？"
Tom turned suddenly saying"Here you are!Ben!I didn't notice you．"
"I'm going swimming，"Ben said．"Don't you wish you could go？Or would you rather work？"
Tom said，"Work？What do you mean‘work'？"
"Isn't that work？"
Tom continued painting and answered carelessly，"Maybe it is，and maybe it isn't．All I know is it suits Tom Sawyer．"
"Do you mean that you enjoy it？"
"I don't see why I oughtn't to enjoy it．"
"Does a boy have a chance to paint a fence frequently"said Tom．
Ben stopped munching his apple．
Tom moved his brush back and forth-stepped back to note the effect-added a little paint here and there．Ben watched every move，getting more and more interested，more and more absorbed．After a short time，he said，"Tom，let me whitewash a little．"
Tom seemed to be thinking for a moment before he said，"No，Aunt Polly wants this fence to be perfect．If it was the back fence，maybe you could do it．But this fence beside the street is where everybody can see it．It has to be done right．"
"Oh，come on，let me try．I'll be careful．Listen，Tom．I'll give you part of my apple if you let me paint．"
"No，Ben，I'm afraid-"
"I'll give you all the apple!"
Tom handed the brush to Ben with unwillingness on his face butalacrity in his heart．While the riverboat worked and sweated in the hot sun，Tom，an artist sat in the shade close by，munching his apple，and planning how he could trick more of the boys．
Before long there were enough boys each of whom came along the street； stopped to laugh but soon begged to be allowed to paint．By the middle of the afternoon，Tom had got many treasures while the fence had had three layers of whitewash on it．If he hadn't run out of whitewash，he would have owned everything belonging to the boys in the village．
Tom said to himself that the world was not so depressing after all．He had discovered a great law of human action：in order to make a man cover a thing，it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain．
9．By using"Tom continued painting and answered carelessly"，the author shows TomC when he was talking to Ben．
A．made mistakes 
B．damaged things 
C．was natural
