(2017·鄭州第三次質(zhì)量預(yù)測)Today, we're sending Sally away for a week of summer camp.She never actually asked to go.It was all my idea to sign her up (報名).She's nearly 12, and I notice that I'm with my child nearly 24 hours a day.
Living on a?farm without any neighbors, I've chosen a life that is quieter than a typical family's.But rather than longing for space away from me, Sally has become increasingly dependent on my presence.
What frightens me most is that she has become a “mini-me”.She pursues my hobbies, my dreams and my opinions.And that's why I pulled her to the summer camp:a nearby wilderness camp called Hawk Circle.
After we ate, we drove to Hawk Circle.Once there, we got a tour of the grounds and were ?introduced ?to Sally's fellow campers.Sally stood by the group of children, holding my hand, horror in her eyes, trying to work up the courage to join in a game of soccer.
“I need you for a few more minutes,”?she told me, holding my hand tightly.
I pulled away?and walked up to one of the camp workers.“Excuse me,”?I said loudly.“I'd like to introduce my daughter to you.Maybe you could help her meet a few of these kids.” He came over to talk to Sally, and I kissed on her cheek and then my husband and I disappeared before Sally realized we were gone.
It was not until I drove home that I finally felt it.A piece of my soul had been taken from my body.I began to shake.Tears streamed down my face.It took every bit of my strength to keep driving forward.
When we?arrived home, I calmed down and reminded myself why I chose this path.I want Sally to have a chance to find herself out of my shadow.I don't want to see only myself in my child.I want to learn who she is.After 12 years of constantly being together, I want to finally meet my daughter for the first time.

(2017·青島模擬)Tea,?the most typical English drink, became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess, Catherine of Braganza, the queen of Charles【來源:21cnj*y.co*m】
?Ⅱ.As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal, she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for the_beverage?in the 17th century.The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes, and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day.Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break”.However, drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people.It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well.21·世紀(jì)*教育網(wǎng)
Around 1800, the seventh Duchess of Bedford, Anna Maria Russell, began the popular practice of “afternoon tea”, a ceremony taking place at about four o'clock.Until then, people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner.At ?approximately ?the ?same ?time, the ?Earl ?of ?Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread — in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them.Before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon, involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life.
As tea?became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society.Thus, tea became ?Britain's favorite drink.In ?working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten when workers returned home after a day's labor.This meal has become known as “high tea”.Today, tea can be drunk at any time of the day, and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain — with the exception of water.
25.What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?21世紀(jì)教育網(wǎng)版權(quán)所有

B.Because it was taxed as an alcoholic drink.

(2017·太原二模)Some scientists will say it is impossible to read minds.They will also tell you that you can make educated guesses on what a person might be thinking or feeling.Perhaps there really is nothing mysterious about the power to read minds.Perhaps it is simply human sense based on observation and educated guesses after all, but that's really a useful ability to learn.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Learn body language.How a person moves and holds their hands, and even what their eyes are doing are actually telling about what is going on inside their head.For example, pupils (瞳孔) tend to grow larger when you are interested in or excited about something.If you are talking to someone and making eye contact, finding their pupils are large and round, chances are that they are not feigning?interest in the conversation.Someone biting their nails is probably nervous.Someone who folds their arms across their chest when they are not cold is probably trying to put a barrier between you and themselves.
Learn to mentally put yourself in another's place.Scientists have recently discovered that your brain has neurons (神經(jīng)元) that become active when you watch someone do something the same as we did the action ourselves.So when you are able to open yourself to understand how other people are feeling, you can figure out reasons and predict future actions, reactions, even thoughts.
Sometimes you can?use Extrasensory Perception (ESP) (超感知覺) to read someone's mind.This does not mean you will literally be able to read their mind like a book.Instead, you will receive impressions or feelings, which are difficult to explain.
To improve your ESP abilities, take up meditation (冥想).Because meditation helps enable you to purposely put your brain in a state of relaxed awareness where you will be more successful in reading people and receiving impressions.
Practice and combine all of these steps.You will soon find yourself able to read people's minds.
32.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The ways of reading people's minds.
B.The steps of learning body language.
C.The necessity of learning to read people's minds.
D.The relationship between minds and body language.
解析:選A 主旨大意題。根據(jù)最后一段“Practice and combine all of these steps.You will soon find yourself able to read people's minds.”并結(jié)合全文的整體內(nèi)容可推知,本文主要講的是讀懂他人的心思的方法和策略,故選A。
33.What does the underlined word “feigning” mean?
A.Expressing. B.Pretending.
C.Finding. D.Declaring.
解析:選B 詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段第三句“For example, pupils (瞳孔) tend to grow larger when you are interested in or excited about something.”并結(jié)合“finding their pupils are large and round”可知,瞳孔放大說明人們真的而不是假裝對某事感興趣,由此可推知畫線詞表示“假裝”的意思,故選B。
34.Why can you?read someone's mind when you mentally put yourself in his/her place?
A.Because you suddenly have the ability to understand his or her feeling.
B.Because your imagination ability and your past experience are combined.
C.Because some neurons in your brain improve your observation ability.
D.Because your?past similar experiences make some neurons in your brain active.
解析:選D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“Scientists have recently discovered that your brain has neurons (神經(jīng)元) that become active when you watch someone do something the same as we did the action ourselves.”可知,當(dāng)你看到某人和你有相似的經(jīng)歷時,你大腦中的神經(jīng)元會活躍起來,故選D。
35.How does meditation help with mind reading?
A.By making educated guesses on minds.
B.By learning to make eye contact.
C.By changing ESP abilities for the better.
D.By strengthening impressions received.
解析:選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“To improve your ESP abilities, take up meditation (冥想).”可知,冥想可以提高人們的超感知覺,故選C。21*cnjy*com

How to Welcome Change in Your Life
Do you embrace (欣然接受) the road you are now on or resist and avoid change at all costs when a recent event has shaken you greatly? Here are things you can do in the midst of uncertainty to choose differently to change the track of your life.【出處:21教育名師】
Don't react.
What do we do when we don't know what to do? First, stop, take a deep breath and don't do anything.__36__ It is having faith and trusting what you do know in the unknown.
Reflect on the past.
Another activity is to recall times in your life when you were faced with an unknown.Then, think about how you handled the situation.__37__ Use your past experiences to bring you strength, and to remind you what you are capable of.
Make conscious decisions.
__38__ However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace.Go over your list of what ifs and make a more balanced list of the best and worst situations possible.Then talk to loved ones about what you would do in each situation and the choices you do have.
__39__
We often see fears as?our greatest enemy, yet they provide us with an enormous opportunity for self-growth.What if we were to see them as friends who want to help us become a better person? Let your fears help you instead of hurting you.Then, write down what comes to you.__40__
A.Don't panic.
B.Befriend your fears.
C.You may be surprised by the answers.
D.When we are fearful, our options seem limited.
E.Then try to feel at ease with the state of “not knowing”.21cnjy.com
F.Learning from past failures helps you make better decisions.
G.Remembering these incidents will remind you that you've gone through difficult situations.
36.選E 根據(jù)空前的“First, stop, take a deep breath and don't do anything.”及E項中的“with the state of ‘not knowing’”與空后的“in the unknown”的對應(yīng)關(guān)系可知E項符合語境。
37.選G 根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“Reflect on the past.”及空前的“think about how you handled the situation”可知,空處應(yīng)是與回憶過去的情況相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,故G項符合語境。
38.選D 根據(jù)本段的小標(biāo)題“Make conscious decisions.”及空處與空后的“However, more possibilities open up when we are at peace.”之間存在轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系可知,D項“當(dāng)我們害怕時,我們的選擇似乎是受限的”符合語境。
39.選B 根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容尤其是“What if we were to see them as friends who want to help us become a better person?”可知,本段主要講的是對待恐懼要如同對待朋友一樣,而不要把它們看作敵人。故B項符合語境。
40.選C 根據(jù)空前的“Then, write down what comes to you.”可知,空處的內(nèi)容有關(guān)寫下這些東西的結(jié)果,故C項“你可能會對答案感到震驚”符合語境。
