第三部分：閱讀理解（每題２分，共３０分）
Maria is a very fast runner. She has won many races put on by the factory in Russia where she works. She was asked how she was able to stay in such good shape（體型）. This was her answer.
“I’m in shape because of the way I spend my day. It begins at 5:30 in the morning. I jump out of bed to cook for my husband and iron（熨衣服） the clothes. Then I have to start running to work on time.
“I rush with a large bag in one hand and my four-year-old baby in the other. First， I stop at the school, hand my baby to the teachers, and then rush to work. After work I run back to the school to pick up my baby and then run to the market. Then I run home to start cooking supper-and then it takes time to feed them and get them all to bed. Then I start doing the washing so I can iron in the morning.
“My husband is soft because I have made life easy for him. He doesn’t hurry to and from work，and I have the table set when he gets home. He eats， puts on the television, sits down and reads the newspaper. And that’s why I’m in such good shape—and my husband isn’t.”

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年山東省濟(jì)寧市魚臺(tái)一中高一上學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韻律).""Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."...
One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."
I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him. Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消極的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining or blaming (責(zé)備) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".
There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.
【小題1】The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is to show that ______.

A．musicians’ living conditions are not good
B．people in that town have poor taste in music
C．different people have different attitudes
D．young people are more likely to succeed
【小題2】The underlined part "they’re rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A．they’ll push you ahead
B．they’ll have an influence on you
C．they’ll keep you from moving on
D．they’ll help you realize your dreams
【小題3】Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?
A．He is more active than the others.
B．He can earn more than the others.
C．He has more things to do than the others.
D．His attitude is more positive than the others.
【小題4】By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 4, you can ______.
A．make the right kind of friends
B．improve your ability to make friends
C．develop a better relationship with your friends
D．make some new friends with the same interests as you
【小題5】We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.
A．the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend
B．one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
C．the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends
D．one should avoid making friends with people who have lots of difficulties

閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)要求完成文章后的題目。(請將答案寫在答題卡對(duì)應(yīng)題號(hào)的橫線上。)

Kids are drawn to smoking for a lot of reasons — to look cool, act older, lose weight, or feel independent, but you can keep your child from getting addicted to tobacco. Here are a few points to keep in mind:

Discuss other topics in a way that doesn’t make your child fear punishment or judgment.

Stress what your child does right rather than wrong. Self-confidence is your child’s best protection against peer (同齡人) pressure.

Encourage your child to take part in activities that rule out smoking, such as sports.

When it comes to the dangers of tobacco use, it’s important to keep talking to your child about it over the years. Even the youngest child can understand that smoking is bad for the body.

Ask your child what he or she finds attractive or not attractive about smoking. Be a patient listener.

Read, watch television, and go to the movies with your child. Compare media images with what happens in reality.

Discuss ways to respond to peer pressure to smoke. Your child may feel confident simply saying “no”. But also offer your child responses such as, “It will make my clothes and breath smell bad.”

Encourage your child to walk away from friends who don’t recognize or respect his or her reasons for not smoking.

Explain how smoking affects the daily life of kids who start doing it. How do they afford the cigarettes? How do they have money to pay for other things they want? How does it affect their friendship?

Set firm rules that forbid smoking from your house and ______: Smokers smell bad, look bad, and feel bad, and it’s bad for everyone’s health.

1.What’s the best title for the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)

____________________________________________

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed

Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive(正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”

Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years．Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:

A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent(才能) is genetic—you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.

On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego(自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.

We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

1.What does the author think about the present generation?

A．They don’t do well at school.

B．They are often misunderstood.

C．They are eager to win in sports.

D．They are given too much praise.

2.A fixed mind-set person is probably one who              .

A．doesn’t want to work hard

B．cares a lot about personal safety

C．cannot share his ideas with others

D．can succeed with the help of teachers

3.What does the growth mind-set believe?

A．Admitting failure is shameful.

B．Talent comes with one’s birth.

C．Scores should be highly valued.

D．Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.

4.What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?

A．Encourage them to learn from failures.

B．Prevent them from making mistakes.

C．Guide them in doing little things.

D．Help them grow with praise.
