At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer(拖车式活动房)that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh …that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent(急迫的), my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
28. Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A. Because it was their normal work.
B. Because the family asked them to do it.
C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
29. What can we learn from the story?
A. The family needed two parking spaces.
B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
30. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Pillow B. A New House
C. The Family D. An Interesting Program
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. A

Being busy can become a way of life. Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages. They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way. Being busy has a dangerous allure(诱惑). If you are busy all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling. Why not let everything become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?
Many of us are busy because our self-worth goes up when people make demands(需求)on our time. Why don’t we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously(主动地)keeping ourselves not busy. In fact many great discoveries were made by people who built white space into their day.
Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I’ve never heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are.
What are they doing differently?
First, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control. They’ve had excellent staff, implemented(实施)thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.
It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours. To do this, you need to change your way of thinking. It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book.
How to free us from the trend of being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity. Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively(预先)if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are. Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your day and begin doing it. Put your time and energy where you want it to be.
31. What are many of us busy doing every day?
A. Sitting quietly and think actively.
B. Meeting people’s demands on our time.
C. Making great discoveries.
D. Takinghigh-level decisions.
32. Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?
A. Because they value working abilities and attitude.
B. Because they focus on attracting excellent workers.
C. Because they pay more attention to learning management.
D. Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks.
33. The writer probably agrees that we should ______.
A. stop considering each thing a choice
B. work more hours to achieve our goals
C. answer emails and messages as soon as possible
D. be mindful where we want our time and energy to be
34. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise us to be freed from the trend of being busy.
B. To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life.
C. To show us ways to feel good about being busy.
D. To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life.
【答案】31. B 32. D 33. D 34. A
【解析】
【分析】每天我们中的大多数人忙于满足人们对我们时间的需求,成功的人们像Warren Buffet 不忙碌是因为他们认真思考花了更多时间在紧要的任务上。写这篇文章作者的目的是建议我们从忙碌中解脱出来。
【31题详解】

【33题详解】
细节理解题。据最末段第三句“ For one day, be mindful of every daily activity.”每一天,要注意日常的活动。可知,作者可能同意我们应该介意我们想让时间精力花在哪儿。故正确答案为D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,且据最末段可知,写这篇文章作者的目的是建议我们从忙碌的趋势中被解放出来,把时间和精力花在更重要的地方。故正确答案为A。

You may not realize it, but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school.School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance.Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.
Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying ,“Treat others how you want to be treated.”You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier.Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests.The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.

At the age of sixteen, I went on my first volunteer program in West Virginia to repair or build homes for poor families. When we arrived, we discovered that the family we were going to help was living in a trailer(拖车式活动房)that was in poor condition, no bigger than two parking spaces. A group of people had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another appeared.
We soon decided that the only way was to build a new house. It was something unusual because normally our goal was to repair old homes. The family was pleased with their new house that was 20 by 30 feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.
On Tuesday of that week, I asked the family’s three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Kids in the families we had helped usually wanted toys or posters, so we were surprised when Josh, the oldest boy said, “We just want beds.” The boys had never slept in a bed. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gift. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.
On Friday when we saw the truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. They were very excited.
That afternoon, while we were setting up the beds, Eric ran into the house to watch us with wide eyes. As Maggie, a member of our group, put one of the pillows on the bed, Eric asked, “What is that?”
“A pillow,” she replied.
“What do you do with it?” Eric went on asking.
“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” Maggie answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as she handed Eric the pillow.
“Oh …that’s soft,” he said, holding it tightly.
Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems very urgent(急迫的), my dad always asks, “Do you have a pillow?” We know exactly what he means.
28. Why did the writer’s group build a new house for the family?
A. Because it was their normal work.
B Because the family asked them to do it.
C. Because the trailer could no longer be repaired.
D. Because they thought it was a perfect gift for the family.
29. What can we learn from the story?
A. The family needed two parking spaces.
B. The boys of the family wanted toys and posters.
C. The family were excited about the beds and bedding.
D. The writer’s group made some furniture for the family.
30. What is the best title for this passage?
A. The Pillow B. A New House
C. The Family D. An Interesting Program
D
Being busy can become a way of life. Our lives are always filled with emails and text messages. They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way. Being busy has a dangerous allure(诱惑). If you are busy all the time, it’s hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what you’re feeling. Why not let everything become a choice — how we spend time, who we reply to and how much or little we write?
Many of us are busy because our self-worth goes up when people make demands(需求)on our time. Why don’t we free ourselves from needing, or even wanting? Why don’t we make the best use of the time and space to be productive in a way that it best serves us? That may be consciously(主动地)keeping ourselves not busy. In fact many great discoveries were made by people who built white space into their day.
Imagine asking “How are you?” to one of the most successful people you know like Warren Buffet. I’ve never heard anyone at that level answer “busy” though most people believe they are.
What are they doing differently?
First, they aim to project an image that things are under control. Second, they actually have things under control. They’ve had excellent staff, implemented(实施)thoughtful processes and they spend time only on critical tasks that require their attention. They make high-level strategic decisions with a large effect.
It’s time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours. To do this, you need to change your way of thinking. It’s cool to say you’re busy, but it’s better to be busy helping someone carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a book.
How to free us from the trend of being busy? Start with small steps. For one day, be mindful of every daily activity. Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively(预先)if it’s necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half the time. Next, stop saying how busy you are. Then, figure out what you want to achieve with your day and begin doing it. Put your time and energy where you want it to be.
31. What are many of us busy doing every day?
A. Sitting quietly and think actively.
B. Meeting people’s demands on our time.
C. Making great discoveries.
D. Takinghigh-level decisions.
32. Why don’t successful people like Warren Buffet answer “busy”?
A. Because they value working abilities and attitude.
B. Because they focus on attracting excellent workers.
C. Because they pay more attention to learning management.
D. Because they think well and spend more time on critical tasks.
33. The writer probably agrees that we should ______.
A. stop considering each thing a choice
B. work more hours to achieve our goals
C. answer emails and messages as soon as possible
D. be mindful where we want our time and energy to be
34. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To advise us to be freed from the trend of being busy.
B. To warn us about the danger of leading a busy life.
C. To show us ways to feel good about being busy.
D. To tell us how to fit into the busy modern life.

阅读回答问题
You may not realize it but you are doing much more than just studying when you are at school.School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people.But this is not always easy.What can you do if you just don't like one of your classmates?
If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance.Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.We cannot change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other.Knowing others constantly makes us understand others' differences.
Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad.Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and an open mind.
You need to remember an old saying ,“Treat others how you want to be treated.”You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it.No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in.Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.
It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone's life easier.Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests.The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.
