1．阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
What makes a person a giver or taker? The idea "give vs. take" takes shape in all interactions
(互动) and relationships of our lives. We're either giving advice, making time for people, or we're
on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily
basis, if not an hourly one.
According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are
matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay
something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any
rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support givers so that they can get
the good they deserve.
Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?
A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question.
She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and
the other as an employee to discuss salary promotions. Male "employees" asked for an average
salary of $146k while the females asked for only $141k. But why did they not bargain as hard as
the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.
As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and my
attention to others. I don't expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I
feel like I'm being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's continuous
actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it's safe to say I'm 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.
I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They're constantly devoting their time, sharing
valuable insights (洞察力) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path.
Although they're changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the
universe is slowly repaying them; they're now extremely successful, well known for what they do.
（1）We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.
A. most people think they are givers
B. people are not always givers or takers
C. an individual is born to be a giver or a taker
D. few differences exist between givers and takers
（2）In Adam Grant's opinion, most people ________.
A. hate takers
B. prefer giving to taking
C. enjoy relying on themselves
D. balance giving and taking
（3）Hannah's study focused on ________.
A. the role of giving and taking in jobs
B. the gender difference in giving and taking
C. the role of men and women in society D. the salary difference between women and men
（4）The author tends to ________.
A. think acts of kindness should be valued
B. expect something in return for giving most of the time
C. take giving for granted
D. be a complete matcher
（5）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Giving is the shortest path to success.
B. Sharing is the greatest human quality.
C. No good deed goes undone.
D. Givers are worth respecting.
【答案】 （1）B
（2）D
（3）B
（4）A
（5）C
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，大多数人在寻求给予和接受之间的平衡，但是好的行为最终都会得到回报。
（1）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“We're either giving advice, making time for people, or
we're on the receiving end. We alternate between the two based on different situations we face
on a daily basis, it not an hourly one.”可知，我们根据每天面对的不同情况在两者之间交替。我们有时是给予者有时是索取者。故选B。
（2）考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“They make careful observations on takers and make it
a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards
others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support
givers so that they can get the good they deserve.”可知，在Adam Grant看来，大多数人在寻求给予和接受之间的平衡。故选D。
（3）考查细节理解。根据第四段可知，哈佛教授调查发现女子比男子更有可能是给予者，这表明这项实验集中于人们是给予者还是接受者的性别差异，故选B。
（4）考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one's
continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed.”可知，作者不期望任何回报，但作者会在觉得他的善意没有受到注意的情况下感到沮丧，所以作者认为一个人的善意应该被珍惜。故选A。
（5）考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“But the universe is slowly repaying them; they're
now extremely successful, well known for what they do.”可知，好的行为最终都会得到回报，善有善报。故选C。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇人生感悟类阅读，考生需要准确掌握细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。

“Some day, there’ll be no Americans left in the NBA,” said 12-year-old Xing Tao, who
joined his school team two weeks ago after watching Yao Ming in a televised NBA game, “The
players will all be Chinese, like Yao.”
To China, Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the world’s first basketball
league closer to Chinese players. To the NBA, the 2.23-meter center offers an opening of a
different sort into the world’s largest new market. Yao’s NBA first appearance against the Indiana
Pacers in October reached 287 million families in the US. That game might have been a bit of a
letdown to Yao’s fans: He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds(篮板) and got no
points. Comparing that with his performance on December 19, also against Indiana, Yao won 29
points and 10 rebounds. “This was one of the most exciting games I’ve had,” Yao said after

There are lots of ways to educate yourself on the Internet. You can find photos, documents,
and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , you can access lectures by
artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.
TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from the fields of
technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time event focusing on
technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the
founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an
annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and
money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.

I'm a single person and live with my dog. Jed isn't just my dog. He is my family. He goes
everywhere with me. So I was overjoyed last year to hear that Bunnings was allowing dogs on a
leash(皮带)- into their stores.
But no sooner had the rule come in than it was quickly repealed(撤销). A little girl in Victoria
had walked up to a Jack Russell in a store and been bitten(咬伤). That was it. No more dogs.
I don't know the whole story. But here's what I have to say: dogs bite sometimes and kids are
sometimes difficult to control.
There is nothing I love more than a kid who wants to touch Jed. But what's even better is when
they ask permission first.
I was at my local dog park last week. It's huge, with an off-leash dog area to one side and a

Experts note that an unhealthy lifestyle can put you at great risk of heart disease and stroke. So
doctors urge us to eat healthy foods, get exercise, stop smoking and limit our alcohol intake. But
there is something else you can do. And it is free and easy. Smile!
Dr. Chockalingam, a heart disease specialist in Columbia, advises his patients to smile. He says a
smile may be one way to help your heart. "When we smile, the brain wiring changes. The
chemicals that are released are more positive." He says smiling is the first step in fighting physical
and emotional stress and its sometimes harmful effects on human health. This is not just New
Age advice. Several studies support his opinion.
When you feel stressed or under pressure, your body releases many natural hormones (荷尔蒙)

“Years ago when I was at the Grand Canyon, I remembered someone coming up to the
canyon's edge, taking a shot with a camera and then walking away, like 'got it – done', barely
even glancing at the magnificent scene in front of him,” Linda Henkel, a scientist at Fairfield
University, US told Live Science.
Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days -
before dinner, during friends' birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.
They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel's
latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what
actually happened, reported The Guardian.
In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to

When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home
instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a
few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do
anything to cut the cost of a university education.
One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years
instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning
process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education
suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model.
I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any

When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of
my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town.
But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for
helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater
purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I
realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help
them feel less alone.
Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books.
The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to

Passage 1
There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to
explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had
difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had
his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The
problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New
York．Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old
