Career-oriented adults — your typical “workaholic”—value the social status and reputation that comes with professional achievement, and gain much oftheir identity from their jobs. Calling-oriented people do work that they are passionate about because they want to have a positive impact on the world.In the first empirical study into how these orientations originate, researchers found that how teenagers view their parents' work ethic is central to the development of their own work attitudes.It's not a straightforward transfer of values. People who perceive their father to have a strong career-orientation are more likely to be career-oriented themselves, but career-determined mothers have no effect on their kids' work orientation. The researchers attributed this to generational gender norms. When the study's participants were teenagers, mostly in the 1980s, men were more commonly employed outside of the home and were more likely than women to hold “career” jobs with opportunity for advancement.Mothers do have a notable effect on whether children have a job-orientation mentality. Teenagers who are close to their mothers are less likely to view work as just a job when they grow up, probably because they've been raised to value social, rather than instrumental, life experiences.Having both parents display the same work ethic has an amplified influence, but only in the case of calling-oriented children. As our society favors money and professional achievement, a child with two calling-oriented parents is more likely to have the confidence to ignore these social pressures and pursue his dreams.Children can affect their parents' work ethic, too. Allowing people to bring their children into the office has been shown to improve efficiency and productivity —and could help raise that next generation of career-oriented workers.1.If you are proud of being a teacher, and you are enthusiastic about your job, you belong to ________.A.the job-oriented groupB.the career-oriented groupC.the workaholic groupD.the calling-oriented group2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Children valuing their parents' career-orientation will be career-oriented.B. Fathers have a greater influence than mothers on teenagers' attitude towards jobs.C.Calling-oriented mothers have little effect on their children's work orientation.D.Children's attitudes towards jobs aren't related to parents'.3.What does the underlined word “amplified” in Paragraph 6 mean?A.Enough.B.Increased.C.Decreased. D.Strong.4.What is the attitude of the child with two calling-oriented parents towards the social pressure?A.He takes no notice of it.B.He thinks too highly of it.C.He looks on it as a difficulty.D.He considers it confusing.Ⅲ.任务型阅读(2014·银川质检) 1.________ It makes people suffer a lot from it.Why can't they find a cure for the common cold? The answer is easy. There are actually hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get. 2.________When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. 3.________ You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually eating the virus.Your temperature goes up and you get a fever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus.You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting into your cells.You may feel very uncomfortable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.4.________ In China and some other countries, for example, some people might eat chicken soup to make themselves feel better.Some people take hot baths and drink warm liquids. Other people take medicine to stop various symptoms of colds.There is one interesting thing to note — some scientists say taking medicine when you have a cold is actually bad for you.The virus stays in your body longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. 5.________ There is a joke, however, on taking medicine when you havea cold. It goes like this: it takes about one week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but it takes only seven days to get over a cold if you take medicine.So you should trust the function of your body.A.Therefore, there isn't a cure for each one.B.Bodies can indeed do an amazing job on their own.C.How much do you know about the various viruses in the world?D.Blood rushes to your nose and causes a block in it.E.Different people do different things to deal with colds.F.The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your cold.G.It is easy for many people to catch a cold in spring or fall.答案Ⅰ.A1.解析:for考查介词。

My four brothers and sisters and I wouldn't be here if he'd been led to any other number.Back in 1941, Dad spent his Saturday nights at “The Nixon”, a dance hall on the corner of 52nd and Market streets in Philadelphia. He could dance the Waltz and do the Jitterbug just as well as Fred Astaire. The girls dressed up and styled their hair like Ginger Rogers. Some wore silver slippers, while the more skilled dancers wore gold. In those days, when a guy wanted to dance with a girl, he had to sign up for a song on her dance card ahead of time — and every guy wanted to sweep Peg Oestreich off her feet.Dad was chatting with his friend when he first saw her walk into the dance hall, attractively beautiful, with dark brown eyes, shoulderlength brown hair and gold slippers. Dad waited in the crowd to sign her card, and they danced to “The Anniversary Waltz”. He fell in love with her completely. If only he could kiss her, just once!New Year's Eve was coming up. Maybe he could hold Peg for the midnight dance! Then he could give her a New Year's kiss. Dad spent every Saturday counting songs and figured out which dance would fall on the magic moment —number thirteen. “That can't be right,” Dad said to himself. “That's bad luck!” Had he made a mistake? Should he sign up for the twelfth or fourteenth? What if he was too early, or too late? On New Year's Eve, Dad ran to the dance hall, but Peg was already surrounded. By the time he got to sign her dance card, only one choice remained — thirteen.At 11:55, Evelyn Johnson, the bandleader, called their song. “Harvest Moon” began to play. Dad took Peg's hand. At that moment, he didn't care if the song lasted until midnight —he was happy just to dance with her. Then it happened. 10, 9, 8 ... The entire dance hall counted down. 3, 2, 1 ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Peg looked into his eyes, and Dad delivered the perfect New Year's kiss.Mom and Dad started “going steady” that night, which led to 44 years of marriage, five children, four grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren —a growing family that all began with one “unlucky” number.1.Which of the following is the name of a famous dancer?A.Waltz. B.Jitterbug.C.Evelyn Johnson. D.Ginger Rogers.2.We can infer from the passage that thirteen stands for ________.A.the order for Peg to danceB.the song to last until midnightC.the dance to honor PegD.the number to be signed on Peg's card3.The writer's father decided to sign Peg's dance card for “Harvest Moon”because ________.A.there was only number thirteen leftB.Peg invited him to dance to the songC.he mistook the thirteenth for the twelfthD.he did it intentionally with some homework4.It can be implied from the passage that ________.A.there would be no the writer without number thirteenB.the song “Harvest Moon” didn't last until midnightC.the passage was written in 1985 when the writer was a fatherD.the writer's father kissed Peg during their first danceB(2014·呼和浩特高三调研)I was in a parking lot when a tall, sincere man with glasses approached me asking for directions. He had a printout of Google Maps from the airport to a hotel on the main street, but just couldn't find his hotel. He clearly didn't have a phone, so after confirming his written directions, I mapped it on my phone and showed him exactly where he needed to go.He mentioned that he had tried going there, but there was no such street number and he just couldn't locate his hotel. I confirmed it again for him. He thanked me with a big smile, shook my hand, and took off. I got into my car and he got into his, and we parted ways. As I drove to the next grocery store and went in, something wasn't sitting right about the directions — so I googled the address again and realized that he was looking for the right address but in a city half an hour away!Unfortunately it had been several minutes, and in the rush hour time, the chance of finding him a mile away where he was surely still looking around — was slim to none. But I thought I'd give it a try and took off in that direction. I'd barely noticed what his car looked like, and was just about to give up. I parked my car as I considered what else I could do when he drove right by and pulled over into a nearby parking spot, still confused about where he was.When I pulled in next to him, he couldn't believe it. “How did you find me?!” he asked. “I'm not sure, but I fi gured out that you are in the wrong city!” I showed him the hotel information, pulled up the right directions for him, and after more smiles, laughs and a handshake, we parted ways. Likely that we'll never meet again, and that makes it all the more sweet.5.The writer helped the man in the beginning by ________.A.driving him to the destinationB.turning to other people for helpC.lending the phone to himD.pointing the way for him6.How did the writer find the man again?A.The man drove by and pulled over nearby.B.The man didn't go far in his car.C.He used his Google Maps on the phone.D.He knew what the man's car looked like.7.Which of the following best describes the writer?A.Patient and helpful. B.Wise and serious.C.Honest and brave. D.Popular and outgoing.8.What do we learn from the text?A.The writer knew the hotel well.B.The man must be grateful to the writer.C.The writer told the man the wrong way.D.The man returned to look for the writer.Ⅴ.短文改错Last summer I went to London for a holiday.

But these shows are based on stories written by the children themselves. The grown-ups are there to help them become better writers. The Story Pirates are active in more than 200 schools across the United States. Their method is designed to help children learn about the purpose and structure of writing.Actors and teachers help students write stories. The children feel the pride of ownership in their work and may get to see their stories performed. About 200 actors and teachers are members of the Story Pirates. It involves two visits to a school. On the first visit, the teachers and actors hold a writing workshop (研讨会) at a student gathering. They help students express their ideas.The Story Pirates is not just a creativity and self-confidence-building program. It is a writing program. And they focus on elements (要素) of structure and style as broad as conflicts (冲突) and creative conflict resolution, and as detailed as grammar.After about a month, the Story Pirates return to the school. This time, they perform the stories they have chosen and prepared for the stage. They sing, dance, and tell jokes — whatever they can do to make the experience fun.Ann Ledo is the arts director for a school, where most of the students are black and poor. She says, “The work of the actors is an important part of the children's education. As a school that has a focus on the arts, we bring the Story Pirates in to further our students' experience.” Some educators may think of the importance currently placed on testing in schools, and wonder how they can measure the effects of a program like this. But Ann Ledo praises the results. She says, “It really is a magical moment when the kids see their stories co me to life.”1.What is the purpose of the Story Pirates?A.To get inspiration from school children.B.To help the grown-ups to create more stories.C.To help school children to improve their writing skills.D.To encourage school children to be writers when they grow up.2.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.A.the teachers and actors pay several visits to each schoolB.the children can build confidence during the process of the activityC.a writing workshop will be held after the performanceD.the children are asked to perform the stories3.What happens at the writing workshop?A.The teachers write the stories.B.The actors give acting classes.C.The students are chosen for the performance.D.The ideas of stories are expressed by the students.4.The forms of the performance include the following EXCEPT ________.A.films B.songsC.dances D.jokes答案Ⅰ.1.did 2.had 3.was coming 4.did 5.will be improved 6.was7.was watching8.had left9.have been elected 10.is waiting11.were leavingⅡ.

With Google Glass, you would be able to actually wear a computing device and carry outall the things, which you used to do over devices like smartphones and tablets.■Small but strong hardware to connect you to the worldIt is really amazing to see how Google Glass manages to include all the features in a very small, strong and yet lightweight frame. It is backed with WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, Touchpad, Camera, Microphone, and Speakers. A main piece, a small size screen, will show you all the information. You have the choice of using Google Hangout to enjoy a group conference and carry out anything without actually being limited to your desks. You can check your text messages along with attaching the pictures and videos without actually removing your smartphone device from your pocket.■Google Glass at your commandThe axiom —“your wish is my command” — seems to be true with Google Glass as it works on a voice command. The builtin microphone backed by “Google Now” simply connects you directly to your favorite search engine. All you need to do is to say “Okay, Glass” to start working with it. You can start working with it by simply tilting (使倾斜) your head.■________As Google Glass is backed up with GPS chip, it can help you to navigate using Google Maps. This will simply avoid bringing out your smartphone from your pocket and check the locations while you drive any vehicle. Whether you are moving in an overcrowded place or hiking at the countryside, this device remains very much handful for you.1.Which of the following best describes Google Glass?A.Smart and useful.B.Handy and comfortable.C.Cheap but creative.D.Awkward but practical.2.If you need to hold a group conference, you may use ________.A.the axiom B.Google HangoutC.Google Now D.Google Maps3.According to the text, the axiom can be started ________.A.by connecting a search engineB.when you are greeting peopleC.on a voice commandD.by shaking the glass4.Which of the following titles may match the last paragraph?A.Leave your smartphone behindB.Life will be flexibleC.People are never boredD.You are never lostⅢ.任务型阅读(2014·云南一检)People will feel excited when it comes to holidays.But holidays can also be a very lonely time, particularly for those who spend the holidays alone.Here are some tips to keep yourself balanced and productive over the holidays.Plan your time in advanceYou'll have several days to fill up, so plan ahead.Find books and movies you have always wanted to read and watch, and make a list of events that you'd like to attend. 1.________ Make a list of things you have always wanted to do but never had the time for. See this time alone as a gift: a stretch of time where you have total control to do whatever you e it wisely.Find support2.________ Note that scheduling time to talk with friends and loved ones makescontact more likely to happen.Introverts who tend to avoid social contacts get support from the inside, so keeping journals and taking some time for personal reflection are a good idea.Don't wallow (沉溺)Holidays alone tend to be times when beating yourself up and getting depressed are more likely to happen. 3.________ Be grateful — some people who are enduring family dinners wish they were in your place.Do something fun, instead!VolunteerFood banks, shelters and crisis centers are shortstaffed during holidays when the demand is greatest.Helping out those in need will make you feel good, and will brighten other people's holidays in turn.4.________Do something kind. It might be feeding birds or squirrels in the park or buying a sandwich for a homeless person. It will make you feel lighter and more grateful for what you have.Have faithIf you are religious, find a church service to attend, or seek out something you regard as spiritual such as meditation, yoga, exercise, a walk in the park, or being around animals. Use this as an opportunity to fill your spiritual juice.5.________A.Random Act of KindnessB.Accept InvitationsC.Extroverts can reach out to others during the holidays.D.Avoid solo holiday depression by considering it as an opportunity to grow.E.Following those advice on having a holiday, you shall get a wonderful holiday whether you are extroverted or introverted.F.Holiday is a nice thing for all the people whether you are successful or not.G.Without a plan, you might find yourself being alone and bored, which will lower your spirits.答案Ⅰ.

But since 2011, he has also spent weeks in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda. There he teaches dance to boys who live on the street. His teaching is part of an effort by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company. The project helps young people learn more about dance and learn how to behave in a classroom environment.LaMar Baylor describes his students as genocide (大屠杀) survivors. They have lost all of their families, and some even have been in prison. “They have been through things that no one should ever have to go through,” said Baylor. Dance classes provide the children with structured learning and selfexpressio n that they've never had before. They can also take classes in information and technology after they have learned to attend classes and follow directions.Boys who have done best in the classes win scholarships, and are sent to the Sunrise Boarding School. About 30 boys have won this kind of financial aid. All the students are male, because few girls in Rwanda live freely on the street.The Rwanda program is the largest one set up by the Rebecca Davis Dance Company, founded and directed by Rebecca Davis. Ms Davis has also set up dance programs in BosniaHerzegovina and Guinea. About 2,000 children in the three countries have taken part in the project since its launch (发起) in 2010.As for LaMar Baylor, he knows from his own experience how dance can lead to a better life. He is from Camden, New Jersey. Camden has sometimes been called America's poorest and most dangerous city. Mr Baylor says that growing up in Camden, it took a long time for him to find out what he wanted to do. He now thinks dancing saved his life.1.What do we know about LaMar Baylor according to the text?A.He spends most of his time in Rwanda.B.He is director of the musical The Lion King.C.He himself grew up in a poor environment.D.He started the Rwanda program on his own.2.In how many countries are the dance programs launched?A.Two. B.Three.C.Four. D.Five.3.Which of the following is TRUE of the dance project?A.Most children participating in it are boys.B.The project could date back to the year of 2010.C.It is aimed to improve the kids' dancing skills.D.It has gained much support from the world.4.What's the main idea of the text?A.Dance offers street children the path to education.B.The largest dance project was set up in Guinea.C.Education is important to street children.D.Where you grow up decides what you are.答案Ⅰ.A1.解析:It 考查代词。

It was a hot, sunny afternoon. I parked the car and was walking to my destination, when from a distance I saw an elderly man walking towards me in the opposite direction. As we came close, I saw that he was walking slowly, in measured steps and there was a look of pain on his face. He was not feeling comfortable, which I could clearly see. I glanced at him and then moved on, wanting to go quickly and complete myunfinished work.I soon reached my destination, completed my work and was returning to where the car was parked, when again from a distance I saw the same man sitting on the road.I quickly walked across to where he was sitting. I bent down and saw that he was tired and exhausted. I was concerned and asked him where he stayed as the intention was to drop him to his house in my car. He gave me the name of the place where he stayed, however, the name did not seem familiar and I did not want to just keep searching for the place, seeing the condition of my elderly friend.I quickly saw that nearby on the opposite side of the road were a few auto rickshaws (黄包车). My experience had been that the auto rickshaw drivers were the best guides to unknown places. I quickly called one of the auto rickshaws and told the driver to drop my friend to his place.
