Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had touched so many people's lives ,and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute ( 献礼) to my grandmother.We secretly sent out letters to the people in grandmother's address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response surprised us. We compiled ( 编纂) these letters into a memory book andamazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.The unusual thing about my grandmother's friends was not the number that she had , but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother's life.I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one's lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of friends one has ,but the quality of the bonds. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say he has lived a successful life. I have madem any friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.1.

15 分钟拿下高考客观题满分! ________ 班级: ________ 满分 48 分, 实战模拟, 姓名: Ⅰ.阅读理解 Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world. Its businesstobusiness site,Alibaba. com,allowed businesses to buy almost everything. Alibabut's advantage wasn't hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its markets attract 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year-and Alibaba_is_just_the_middleman. It encourages people to use its markets-not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale. If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded,polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You're looking for what exactly? Why not try it?”my Chinese teacher asked me one day. With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began. Alibaba's original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit, and leading that group is Taobao,with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever find. TMall. com is Alibaba's other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices. What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping-bigbox retailers especially-in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao. I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is. Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I'm not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine. 1. Alibaba's advantage mainly lies in __________. A. its businesstobusiness service B. its big size C. its not charging small sellers D. its low price 2. What can we learn from the underlined sentence in the passa size among all the online sites. B. Alibaba will continue to develop. C. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers. D. Alibaba stands out as the best online site. 3. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Alibaba' s businesstobusiness service earns more money than retail now. B. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites. C. TMall. com provides more profit than Taobao. D. The author's Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover. 4. What is the passage mainly about? A. Shopping online in China is Taobao. B. Alibaba greatly influences people's daily purchases in China. C. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping. D. How the author purchases online in China.

天天增分(七)满分48分,实战模拟,15分钟拿下高考客观题满分!姓名:________班级:________Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety.That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.Parbati Barua's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up—how to catch wild elephants.Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to a boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life.“Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days after the chase,” she says. But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. “My work,”she says, “is to rescue men from the elephants, and to keep the elephants safe from men.” And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. “Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never forget them. They are also more loyal than humans,” she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!1.For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to ________.A. get long-lasting excitementB. keep both men and elephants safeC. send them back to the jungleD. make the angry elephants tame2.Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, ________.A. she spent her time hunting with her fatherB. she learned how to sing love songsC. she had already been called the elephant princessD. she was taught how to hunt tigers3.Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because ________.A. they are caught and sent for heavy workB. illegal hunters capture them and kill themC. they are attacked and their land gets limitedD. dogs often bark at them and chase them4.The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that ______.A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacksB. the man-elephant relationship is getting worseC. elephant tamers are in short supplyD. dogs are as powerful as elephants【语篇解读】本文介绍了大象公主Parbati 的故事。

天天增分(四)满分48分,实战模拟,15分钟拿下高考客观题满分!姓名:________班级:________Ⅰ.阅读理解It is a familiar scene these days: employees tak ing newly laid-off (下岗)co-workers out for a drink for comfort.But which side deserves sympathy more, the jobless or the still employed? On March 6, researchers at a conference at the University of Cambridge heard data suggesting it's the latter.Brendan Burchell, a Cambridge sociologist, presented his analysis based on various surveys conducted across Europe. The data suggest that employed people who feel insecure in their jobs show similar levels of anxiety and depression as those who are unemployed. Although a newly jobless person's mental health may “bottom out” after about six months, and then even begin to improve,the mental state of people who are continuously worried about losing their job “just continues to get worse and worse,”Burchell says.Evolutionary psychologists support this theory by arguing that human beings feel more stress during times of insecurity because they sense an immediate but invisible threat. Patients have been known to experience higher levels of anxiety,for example,while waiting for examination results than knowing what they are suffering from-even if the result is cancer. It's better to get the bad news and start doing something about it rather than wait with anxiety. When the uncertainty continues, people stay in a nonstop “fig ht or flight” response,which leads to damaging stress.But not every employee in insecure industries has such a discouraging view, Burchell says. In general, women get on better. While reporting higher levels of anxiety than men when directly questioned, women scored lower in stress on the GHQ 12, even when they had a job they felt insecure about losing. As Burchell explains, “For women, most studies show that any job-it doesn't matter whether it is secure or insecure-gives psychological improvement over unemployment.”Burchell supposesthat the difference in men is that they tend tofeel pressure not only to be employed,but also to be the primary breadwinner,and that more of a man's self-worth depends on his job.1. Why do researchers think the still employed deserve sympathy more?A. They have to do more work since then.B. They have no chance to find better jobs.C. They have to work with inexperienced workers.D. They constantly worry about losing their jobs.2. What is mos t likely to cause a “fight or flight” response?A. Not having a paid job.B. Fierce competition for jobs.C. Not knowing what will happen.D. Pressure to work longer hours.3. What will the writer talk about following the last paragraph?A. Advice on preparing a job interview.B. Advice to those in insecure industries.C. Some knowledge of psychology.D. Difference in men and women.4. What could be the best title for the text?A. Is It Less Stressful to Get Laid Off Than Stay On?B. Should Greater Sympathy Be Given to the Jobless?C. Do Employees Bear More Stress Than Ever Before?D. Do Men or Women Show Higher Levels of Anxiety?【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

In November, I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas Day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days.

We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice's face. 1.The underlined word “dementia” in Paragraph 2 probably is ________.A. a houseB. a letterC. an illnessD. a plan2.Where did Alice spend her Christmas Eve according to the story?A.
