Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.

As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.

Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

試題分析:本文作者描述了自己偉大的父親,他教作者一些做人的道理,如要急別人所需,幫助別人,但是一定不要被別人利用,他不斷的推動著作者超越別人,這讓作者總是很突出。另外,他很幽默,體貼,善解人意......字里行間作者表達了自己對父親的欽佩和感激之情。

1.主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段的最后一句But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.在我一生所有認識的人中,我最佩服的是我的父親。本文主要講述了作者對父親的感激之情,因此B項作為本文標題最合適。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句話He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.C選項中的sociable“友善的,好交際的和文中的reserved“保守的,冷淡的的相反的含義,所以用sociable描述作者的父親是不恰當?shù);文中也沒有信息顯示作者的父親很博學(xué)。故選C

3.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)這個詞后面的內(nèi)容so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people.,因此在我們那群人中,我可以突出地完成工作。A項符合題意,即父親讓我超越別人。其他幾項不合題意。

4.推理判斷題。由第二段第二句話While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father or father-like figure around.,當我長大了,我常常因為看見那些沒有父親或沒有象父親那樣的人陪伴的朋友和鄰居而難過。C項正確,即她同情沒有父親的孩子。

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about.  It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants. Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors. 

It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They had to move back to an apartment in New York City. Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.

Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they ______.

A.want to be as rich as their neighbors

B.want others to know or to think that they are rich

Thirty- two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellowman?

  “Not so,”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(緊急情況). Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma(昏迷) from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk? Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak(漏洞)in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible(負責(zé)任的). He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.

  The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.”Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the “tests.”Then they went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room”and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of bookshelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder.

  Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.

  In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.

  Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

60. The purpose of this passage is ________.

 A. to explain why people fail to act in emergencies

 B. to explain when people will act in emergencies

 C. to explain what people will do in emergencies

D. to explain how people feel in emergencies

61. Which of the following is NOT true?

  A. When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.

  B. When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help.

  C. A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.

  D. A person with a heart attack needs the most.

62. The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ________.

  A. they are afraid of emergencies

  B. they are not willing to get themselves involved

  C. others will act if they themselves hesitate

D. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help

63. The author suggests that ________.

  A. we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies

  B. a person must feel guilty if he fails to help

  C. people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies

D. when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway
