本文是一篇記敘文。吉姆在房間里打籃球的時(shí)候不小心弄壞了花瓶，母親用三顆巧克力去獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)他，讓他意識(shí)到了錯(cuò)誤，并從此不再撒謊。

【1】

句意：他的籃球意外地?fù)糁辛思茏由系幕ㄆ俊?/span>

spirits精神；mother媽媽；basketball籃球；pet寵物。根據(jù)“Jim played basketball in the living room”可推斷，是籃球擊中了花瓶，故選C。

【2】

句意：花瓶掉在地板上，瓶口被磕掉了一大塊。

knocked碰撞；taken帶著；kicked踢；cut切。knock off撞落，根據(jù)句意可知，這里指的是花瓶掉到地上，瓶口摔掉了一大塊，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有A符合句意，故選A。

【3】

句意：為了掩蓋他造成的巨大麻煩，他把花瓶的碎片粘在一起，然后把花瓶放回了原位。

down向下；back回原處；away離開；up向上。根據(jù)句意結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，花瓶碎片起來并放回原位才能掩蓋自己的錯(cuò)誤，put…back to把……放回……，固定短語，故選B。

【4】

句意：那天晚上他媽媽注意到了花瓶上的變化。

forgot忘記；searched搜索；accepted接受；noticed注意。根據(jù)“She asked the boy if he broke the vase.”可推斷，他媽媽發(fā)現(xiàn)了花瓶的異樣，所以才問是不是他打碎了花瓶，空處所缺信息是發(fā)現(xiàn)，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有D符合句意，故選D。

【7】

句意：然而，他的母親只是保持冷靜，并說這是她的粗心，沒有把窗戶關(guān)上。

shocked震驚的；calm平靜的；angry生氣的；excited興奮的。根據(jù)上下文可知，母親明知道他在撒謊，本該生氣，但是卻說是自己粗心忘了關(guān)窗，由此推斷，此處是保持冷靜，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選B。

【12】

句意：我不應(yīng)該把花瓶放在容易掉下來的地方，希望你沒有被傷到，我的甜心。

easily容易地；completely完全地；exactly恰好地；quickly很快地。根據(jù)“ I shouldn't have put a vase in a place”及上文的“sorry”可推斷，此處是我不應(yīng)該把花瓶放在容易掉下來的地方，故選A。

【題目】 A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles (踝關(guān)節(jié)) was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I decided to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P. E. class, the teacher required us to run and hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later told me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. It was a test of wills.

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating (出汗) and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

The next day, the Marathon started.

At mile 3, I passed a sign: "GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!"

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.

By mile 21, I was quite hungry. As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished. And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels (世俗標(biāo)簽). I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

【1】A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

A.was well trainedB.felt excitedC.made up his mind to runD.lost hope

【2】Why did the author mention the P. E. class in his 7th year?

A.To show the support of his teacher.B.To tell the readers a funny story.

C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a valuable memory.

【3】How was the author's first marathon?

A.He made it.B.He stopped halfway.

C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.

【4】What does the story mainly tell us?

A.A man ones his success to his family support.

B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C.Failure is the mother of success.

D.Soon learn, soon forgotten.

【題目】 A group of 30 young people in a software company was a team who were willing to learn. The team leader decided to teach them about finding real solutions (解決辦法) to the problems.

The team was called to play a game in a hall. They were quite surprised. As they entered the hall, they found the hall decorated with colourful papers and balloons all over the place. It was more like a kid's play area, than a meeting hall. Also, there was a huge box of balloons placed in the hall.

The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it. Every one happily picked a balloon and blew it.

Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up. All tried to write their names on the balloons, but not everyone was successful. A few balloons blew up because of pressure (壓力) and they were given another chance to use another balloon.

Those who failed to mark their names even after the second chance were ruled out of the game. After the second chance, 25 were left to move on to the next level. All the balloons were collected and then put into a room.

The team leader announced the members to go to the room and pick the same balloon that had his name on it. Also, he told them that no balloon should blow up and warned them to be very careful!

All 25 members reached the room, where the balloons carrying their names were thrown here and there. They were searching for the balloons carrying their names. While they were in a rush to find the balloons, they tried not to burst them. It was almost 15 minutes and no one was able to find the balloon carrying his own name.

The team was told that the second level of the game was over.

Now it is the third and final level. They were asked to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of each person.

The team leader announced: this is called the real solution to the problems.
