【題目】Freda Bright says, “Only in opera do people die of love.” It’s true. You really can’t love somebody to death. I’ve known people to die from no love, but I’ve never known anyone to be loved to death. We just can’t love one another enough.

A hear-warming story tells of a woman who finally decided to ask her boss for a raise in salary. All day she felt nervous and late in the afternoon she summoned the courage to approach her employer. To her delight, the boss agreed to the raise.

The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table set with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festival meal. She wondered if someone from the office had tipped him off, or --- did he just somehow know that she would not get turned down?

She found him in the kitchen and told him the good news. They embraced and kissed, then sat down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It read: “Congratulations, darling! I knew you’d get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you.”

Someone has said that the measure of love for his wife is love without measure. What this man feels for his wife is total acceptance and love, whether she succeeds or fails. His love celebrates her victories and soothes her wounds. He stands with her, no matter what life throws in their direction.

Upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa said, “What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family. And love your friends. Love them without measure.”

【1】The sentence in the first paragraph “Only in opera do people die of love.” means ________.

A. no love in the world is believable

B. love is one thing, and life is another

C. love in operas is truly touching

D. love can survive forever, though people die at different ages

【2】 That the husband prepared her a second letter about her raise suggests that ________.

A. he loves her because he believes that she is sure to receive a raise

B. he has a great way to promote his wife’s love towards him

C. he has a false love for people even if the person is his wife

D. he loves his family members truly, whether they are in good conditions or not

【3】From the text, we might say the author ________.

A. refuse any spiritual emotions as embraced and kissed

B. criticizes the attitude of suspicion of the love

C. doesn’t believe there is true love in the world

D. thinks the true love does not expect repayment

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】D

【解析】

【題目】If there is a building which symbolizes a country—such as the Eiffel Tower for France and Sydney Opera House for Australia—then it has to be the Taj Mahal for India.

It was set up by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1653 in memory of his wife, Mumtaz Mahal. From the time they got married, they wouldn't be separated. She followed him to wars, advised him on affairs of state, and was loved by his people for her good work. But she died in 1631 during childbirth. The emperor was heart－broken and had the Taj Mahal built as a sign of his love.

It took more than 20 years for the Taj Mahal to be built. Workers were brought in, not only from all over India, but from Central Asia too. A total of 20,000 people worked on the building.

In 1657, Shah Jahan fell ill, and in 1658 his son Aurangzeb, imprisoned (囚禁) his father and seized power. Shah Jahan stayed in prison until his death in 1666. He was finally buried there with his wife he could never forget.

The Taj Mahal is definitely worth more than a single visit. As it is built with white marble stones, its character changes in different lights. It looks more beautiful at sunrise and sunset. At sunset, for example, the colour of the Taj changes from white to yellow, then to pink. As the moon rises, it turns a silvery white.

To show respect to the Taj, tourists are asked to take off their shoes during their visit.

【1】Emperor Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal to ________.

A．make it symbolize India B.memorise his wife

C．show his great power D．give his wife a present

【2】Which of the following about the Taj Mahal is NOT true?

A．It is a symbol of India.

B．It took over 20 years to build the Taj Mahal.

C．All workers building the Taj Mahal came from Central Asia.

D．The Taj Mahal was built with white marble stones.

【3】According to the passage, we know that Shah Jahan ______.

A．lived a hard life in his last few years

B．lost his life just because of his old age

C．was not popular with his people at that time

D．treated his son badly when he was young

【4】The word “seize” in the fourth paragraph may most probably mean ________.

A．throw B．memorise C．give D．capture

When you live in America, it is not uncommon to see many children coming home from school to an empty house.【1】. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. They’re children who look after themselves while their parents work. 【2】

Kate Green was one of the headmasters of an elementary school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached. I was constantly telling them to put them inside skirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” 【3】

She and her husband began talking to the children. They offered the suggestion:

【4】. One in every three latchkey children the Greens talked to once reported being scared. Many had nightmares (噩夢) and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. 【5】The second is TV. They’ll often play it at high volume. It’s hard to get statistics (統(tǒng)計) on latchkey children, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

A. Slowly, she learned they were house keys.

B. But they don’t mind.

C. Some deal with the situation by watching TV.

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。 Empathy

Last year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. _【1】__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs.

Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __【2】__

There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __【3】__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.

Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. _【4】_ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.

What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __【5】__

To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” with your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.

A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.

B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.

C. “One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.

D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.

E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.

F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.

G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships.
