【題目】What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?

Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality? I know that it sounds like one of those silly tests you see on Facebook, but I have to admit that it is exactly correct for me. Here’s how it works.

Look at your three middle fingers of your hand. Is your index finger longer than your ring finger? Is your ring finger longer than your index finger? Or are the two of the same length? Find the situation that best matches your hand and see if what follows is an accurate description of your personality.

Longer ring finger: The Sweet Talker

If your ring finger is longer than your index finger, research shows that you’re likely a charming type, and you can probably talk yourself out of any situation. Others often find this personality type irresistible and will go to great lengths to help you. You’re more likely to take risks, and you’re good at problem-solving. People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.

Longer index finger: The (Over) Confident One

If your index finger is longer than your ring finger, chances are you are full of confidence—possibly even to the point of being over-confident and proud. You are not necessarily introverted (內(nèi)向的), but you do enjoy time to yourself, especially when you’re trying to complete a project. You are a dream pursuer who can make things happen, but you may be shy when it comes to taking the first step in a relationship. You are also probably happy with what you have, but you’re always wishing for more.

Index and ring finger are of the same length: The Peacemaker

If your index finger and ring finger are roughly of the same length, you are likely to avoid conflict at all costs and seek to keep the peace in your relationships. You are well-organized, faithful and sympathetic. But deep down under all of that caring and peace-loving, you also have a hot-tempered side that can appear unexpectedly when you’re pushed too far. You will try your hardest to avoid a fight.

How well do these descriptions match your personality? I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I’m not going to tell you which one it was!

【1】Which of the following hand could be an engineer’s hand?

A. B. C. D.

【2】We can learn from the passage that the author ______.

A. is very charming and helpful B. always tries hard to avoid a fight

C. often takes silly tests on Facebook D. thinks the descriptions suit him well

【3】What does the passage intend to tell us?

A. How accurate the description of the test is.

B. The length of fingers can reveal personality.

C. Why your fingers are not of the same length.

D. Personality is determined by your finger length.

【4】Where can you probably find the text?

A. A popular magazine. B. An official report.

C. A public advertisement. D. A biology textbook.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】本文主要介紹了根據(jù)手指長度判斷人的性格。食指比無名指長，食指比無名指短或者二者一樣長都反應(yīng)出不同的性格。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由Longer ring finger一段中People in this category make great engineers, soldiers and crossword-puzzle solvers.可知，無名指較長的手可能是工程師的手，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段中I was surprised at the accuracy in my case, but I'm not going to tell you which one it was!（我對我的例子的準(zhǔn)確性感到驚訝，但我不打算告訴你是哪一個�。┛芍�，作者覺得這個測得特別準(zhǔn)，而沒有提到他屬于那種類型，故選D。

【3】主旨大意題。由首句What Does the Length of Your Fingers Say About You?你的手指長度告訴了你什么？第一段Are you the peace-loving type or the ambitious go-getter? Your finger length might be a clue. Take a look at your fingers. Would you believe me if I told you that the length of your fingers in relation to one another can predict your personality?（你是愛好和平的人還是雄心勃勃的干將？你的手指長度可能是一個線索，看看你的手指，如果我告訴你，你的手指長度的關(guān)系 彼此可以預(yù)測你的個性，你會相信我嗎？），接下來文章都在介紹不同的手指長度對應(yīng)什么樣的性格，所以全文告訴我們手指長度可以反映出人的性格，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。A. A popular magazine.一本流行雜志B. An official report.一份官方報告C. A public advertisement.公共廣告D. A biology textbook.生物學(xué)教科書。根據(jù)常識，這篇文章只能出現(xiàn)在流行雜志上，與其它期刊不符，故選A。

The teenage year from 13 to 19 were the most difficult time for me. They were also the best and worse years in my life. At the first, I thought I knew everything but could make decisions by myself. Besides, my parents didn’t seem to think so. They always tell me what to do and how to do it. At one time, I even felt my parents couldn’t understand me so I hoped I could be freely from them.

【題目】Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life, mostly for the better. However, social changes brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.

An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (調(diào)查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate.

However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.

In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.

Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.

Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings.

【1】The surveys inform us of______.

A. the development of technology

B. the changes of adult children’s behavior

C. the parents’ over-protection of their college children

D. the means and expenses of students’ communication

【2】The writer believes that__________.

A. parents today are more protective than those in the past

B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages

C. technology explains greater involvement with their children

D. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence

【3】What is the best title for the passage?

A. Technology or Attitude

B. Dependence or Independence

C. Family Influences or Social Changes

D. College Management or Communication Advancement

【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

I: Introduction P:Point Sp: Sub-point C: Conclusion

A. B.

C. D.

The other day I happened to meet a young America student in our school. It was the first time that I have met a foreigner, so I went up immediately and greeted him with English. He told me that he was a college student travel in China and he liked China very much. I volunteered to show him around the school. He was deep impressed with the Chinese buildings and was busy taking the photos all the time. He said never had he seen so beautiful buildings. After that, they went boating on the BingXi River and had a wonderful time. I was very glad to have such a good chance to practicing my spoken English.

I’d like tell you something about your life in this boarding school. I stay in a dormitory with three other girls，all of whom are kind and nice. We get on well to others and have become good friends. Living in a boarding school make me independent. I am confidence to take care of myself, wash the clothes, and clean the rooms, which I never did when at home. The classes here are very interesting and challenged. I’m still feeling a little dissatisfied with some other thing. The living conditions are not as good as it at home and the chance to get in touch with the outside world is limited. Anyway, I’ll get used to live here and hope everything will be more better soon.
