【題目】根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。
In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her [來源:]to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mum was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mum was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.
My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders. But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.
So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can't keep scores if you don' t know what game you are playing.
After my mom's partner gave up, she had to abandon(拋棄) her business to support herself. She swore（發(fā)誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn't a "next time" for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was. She never had an opportunity to be everything that she could be.
There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever that may mean to you.
（1）The author's mum started her own business after she ________.
A.got continuous orders with her friend

【答案】
（1）A
（2）D
（3）C
（4）C
【解析】本文是一篇說明文，作者通過母親做生意失敗的案例說明了設(shè)定目標(biāo)的重要性。

⑴考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.” 可知，她和她的朋友連續(xù)下訂單之后，作者的媽媽開始自己的生意。故選A。

⑵考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段“My mum went into her business because she had a creative idea. She got orders and filled orders.But there was no purpose and no real strategy(策略). In 1991, my mum' s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either my mum or her partner.“我媽媽進(jìn)入她的公司，因?yàn)樗幸粋�(gè)創(chuàng)造性的想法。她接訂單，填訂單。但是沒有目的，沒有真正的策略。在1991年，我媽媽的伙伴陷入財(cái)務(wù)困境，沒有足夠的錢來支持我的媽媽和她的伙伴�？芍�，D項(xiàng)Innocent（天真的）是對作者媽媽的最好描述。

⑶考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段中的”She swore（發(fā)誓）she would run a business again and do it differently the next time.“可知，作者的母親反思了自己這次生意失敗的原因，所以發(fā)誓下次要用不同的方法做生意。故選C。

⑷考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的”make sure you ask yourself what you want out of your business. If you don't set goals, how will you know what direction to go in ... You can't keep scores if you don't know what game you are playing“及最后一段中的”Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success“可以看出，作者寫這篇文章的主要目的是強(qiáng)調(diào)設(shè)定目標(biāo)的重要性。故選C。

I am writing to ask for whether you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen pal, hopefully a girl in the early twenties, and with interests similarly to mine. In my mind, he is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it will be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping one at home for some time. With such pen pal, I hope I can share with her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whichever we have in common. I believed I will improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

【題目】During a period of global economic depression, financial disturbance and trade protectionism, a country would face a battle to solve these issues alone. There is no denying that in the current situation, competition between countries is emphasized more than cooperation in that neither country would like to lose out to the other countries.

The Hangzhou G20 summit, in which heads of state and government and central bankers get together to exchange views with each other, aims to create an “open innovation” environment, which means to promote innovation not only within a single country, but by virtue of cooperation with other countries, to deal with common problems facing all of humanity.

“China has already become a big player in the international arena(競技場). However, China alone cannot wrestle with all the problems,” said Atsushi Sunami, vice president at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies. “Being the second largest economy in the world, China needs to join forces with other nations to solve these existing problems, in relation to the environment, education, energy, clean water and climate change.”

【題目】閱讀理解
It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future.
But the dream didn't last long. The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
（1）Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?
A.The frogs made too much noise.
B.They need money to buy medicine.
C.They wanted to please the visitors.
D.The frogs were easy money.
（2）What might be the cause of the children's sickness?
A.The crops didn't do well.
B.There were too many insects.
C.The visitors brought in diseases.
D.The pesticides were overused.
（3）What can we infer(推斷) from the last sentence of the text?
A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B.Health is more important than money.
C.The harmony between humans and nature is important.
D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

Dear Tom,
Last summer I take a part-time job in the International Camp for children. I have told one more worker will be needed in this year and I think you are fit for it. How about join us? The camp is at the foot of a small hill closed to a river. It's such beautiful a place! We can hear birds singing happy all round. Everybody sleeps in tents, that is very exciting. We usually work only five hours a day, so we will have a lot of spare time to visit the area or have fun. I am sure it will be a unforgettable experience. If you have an interest in it, write to me soon
Yours,

【題目】Christmas was near a season that we took seriously in our house. But a week or so before the 25th, my father would give each of his children $ 20. This was the 1970s, and $ 20 was quite a bit of money.

But I saw it differently. My father trusted me to have the smart to spend money wisely. Even better, he gave me the means to get it. On a very basic level, my father was giving me a shopping spree (狂歡) every year.. But he was also giving me charge over my own fun, trusting my ability to manage money and making me feel like a grown-up. He didn’t buy me Sherlock Holmes, but he gave me the means to walk into the bookstore and choose it for myself, so it felt like a gift from him.

My mother had a gift for giving me what I needed, usually right at the moment I needed it most. This was when I was 25, I failed at being an adult on my very first try. I had quitted my previous job but had no new one. But when my mother paid me a visit, I put on a good show, telling her I had started my own company.

My mother knew that I was trying hard and failing at that time. It wasn’t until after she left that I noticed at the foot of my bed an envelope thick with cash. She knew how desperately I needed it. She knew that had she just shown up with groceries, or offered to pay my rent, she would have made me feel much worse. The cold, hard cash meant she was helping me. And, funnily enough, the distance with which she gave the gift felt like she was giving me space to fix my life and preserve my dignity. My mother and father both did the same thing. One was giving me the means to take my own decisions, and the other was giving me a second chance when those decisions had cost me dearly.

【1】What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs?

A. His family once celebrated Christmas happily.

B. His father gave the author chances to make decisions.

C. His best memories about Christmas were in the 1970s.

D. He used to choose books as his father’s gift on Christmas.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. money offered by his father. B. father generous with money.

C. Christmas being important. D. the means of spending money.

【3】When he was 25 years old, the author .

A. planned to open his company B. became interested in shows

C. gave his mother a gift D. was out of work

【4】Which word can best describe the author’s mother?

A. sensitive. B. optimistic.

C. considerate. D. determined.
