【題目】 It's a common school day at Southern Cross School near the famous Kruger National Park in South Africa. Teachers and pupils don't sit in a classroom. I【1】, they go through the forest or sit under the trees.

The teachers and their pupils go out into n【3】 and work with animals and plants. These can be used to study a【4】 from maths and social sciences to languages. The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted. To get to class, students travel a road through the forest that wild animals use as well.

In this school you won't hear a teacher saying "C【6】 how many apples Jane has in her basket." Actually, the children visit a nearby river to count the number of marks left by animals. This way they can see how many different animals come to d【7】 during the night.

The students are encouraged to take care of the injured and small animals. If they find a dead animal in the area, they study where the animal fits in the foot chain and how and why it d【8】.

The headmaster says, "We must make people understand what we are doing to the e【9】. We need to care for our p【10】."

【解析】

這篇短文主要介紹了南非克魯格國家公園南十字學校特殊的教學方式。他們利用自然作為教學工具，老師和學生走進自然和動物及植物一起合作學習。他們就是想通過這種方式讓人們關愛我們的地球，我們的環(huán)境。

【1】句意：老師和學生不坐在教室里，相反他們穿過森林，或坐在樹下。

根據(jù)前后句意相反可知，應該表示“相反”，故填Instead。

【2】句意：這所學校教這個國家其他學校所有相同的科目。

前面有提示詞“teaches”，學校里所教的應該往“內(nèi)容”，“科目”方面進行聯(lián)想，根據(jù)首字母可知，應該填subject；same這個詞是個干擾詞，后面不能填單數(shù)形式，all the same…,所有相同的……，注意名詞的復數(shù)變化。故填subjects。

【3】句意：老師和他們的學生們到大自然去和動植物一起工作。

根據(jù)本句中的“work with animals and plants”和下文中的“The school is in an area where animals live wild and can be hunted.”可知，學生的學校在野外，也就是在大自然中，故填nature。

【4】句意：這些能被用來學習任何事情，從數(shù)學，社會科學到語言。

根據(jù)后面的from...to... 是一個選項的提示范圍，做的定語�？芍侨魏问虑�，故填anything。

【5】句意：例如這一天的第一節(jié)課是數(shù)學，但是教學方法是非常特殊的。

結合后文的具體描述In this school you won't hear a teacher saying "C___6__ how many apples Jane has in her basket."以及but都是關鍵性的提示詞，就是為了突出此種教法與眾不同，所以填寫special。

【6】句意：在學校里，你不會聽到老師說“數(shù)一數(shù)簡的籃子里有多少蘋果”。

根據(jù)本句中的how many和首字母C可知，表示數(shù)一數(shù)有多少蘋果。故填Count。

【7】句意：這樣他們就能看到在夜晚有很多不同的動物來喝水。

前面的提示詞“river”很關鍵，同學們來到河邊觀察不同種類的動物做什么，結合實際生活中的常識，自然聯(lián)想到喝與吃等相關動作。故填drink。

【8】句意：如果他們在這一地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)一只死動物，他們就會研究在腳鏈上的位置，以及它是如何和為什么死的。

根據(jù)If they find a dead animal in the area這個條件狀語從句中有個關鍵的提示詞dead可知，這些學生會研究這只動物是如何死的，以及為什么死的，故填died。

【9】句意：我們必須使人們明白我們正在為環(huán)境/地球做什么。我們需要關愛我們地球。

根據(jù)上文描述可知，這所學校就是為了讓學生走進大自然，從而保護我們的地球和環(huán)境。故填earth / environment。

【10】句意：我們需要關心我們的星球

根據(jù)上句話可知，學生學習的目的是為了保護地球和環(huán)境，當然也是我們的星球，根據(jù)首字母p可知，應該填planet。

【題目】 Most people need to hear those “three little words” -- I love you. Sometimes they hear them just in time.

I met Connie in the hospital where I worked as a volunteer. Although Connie was in the final stages of her fight against cancer(癌癥), she was cheerful. I asked if she needed anything. “Oh, yes,” she said, “would you please show me how to use the TV? I enjoy the soaps.” Connie was a romantic. She loved soap operas, and movies with a good love story. As we became familiar, she said how annoyed it was to be married 32 years to a man who often called her “a silly woman.”

　　“I know Bill loves me,” She said, “but he has never been one to say he loves me. I’d give anything if he’d say ‘I love you,’ but it’s just not in his nature.”

　　Bill visited Connie every day. In the beginning, he sat next to the bed while she watched the soaps. Soon, when she no longer watched television and had fewer waking moments, I began spending more of my volunteer time with Bill, who was a carpenter and made furniture. He and Connie had no children, but they’d been enjoying retirement by travelling, until Connie got sick.

One day, over coffee I got him on the subject of women and how we need romance in our lives; how we love to get cards and love letters.

　　“Do you tell Connie you love her?” I asked, and he looked at me as if I was crazy.

　　“I don't have to,” he said, “She knows I do!”

　　“I'm sure she knows,” I said, “but she needs to hear what she has meant to you all the years.”

　　Two days later, I saw Bill leaning up against the wall in the hallway and staring at the floor. The head nurse told me Connie had died at 11 a.m..When Bill saw me, his face was wet with tears. Finally, he took a deep breath. “I have to say how good I feel about telling her.” He stopped to blow his nose. “I thought a lot about what you said, and this morning I told her how much I loved her…and loved being married to her. You should have seen her smile!”

I went into the room to say my own good-bye to Connie. There, on the bedside table, was a large Valentine card from Bill. “To my wonderful wife…I love you!”

【題目】 Imagine there is a glass on a table in front of you. It has water in it but it is not full. How do you describe the glass? "Half full or half empty?"

If you say half full, you might be an optimist. If you say half empty, you might be the opposite - a pessimist.

Optimism and pessimism represent your general attitude toward certain situations or to life in general. And your attitude about life may be more important to living than you think.

A new study suggests that your level of optimism may affect your health. People who are optimistic may live longer than those who are pessimistic.

Researchers at Harvard University's School of Public Health in Boston did the study. They compared women with "a general expectation that good things will happen" to women who were less optimistic. They found that the optimists had a much lower risk of getting several deadly diseases, including cancer, heart disease and certain types of infection.

Eric Kim is one of the study leaders. He says there is increasing evidence that strengthening psychological (心理的) resilience may help prevent disease. Kim says that these new findings suggest that people should make efforts to increase their resilience and optimism. He says optimism is connected with healthier behaviors and healthier ways of dealing with difficulty. Optimists tend to take better care of themselves by exercising, eating healthy foods and getting enough sleep.

However, the researchers say that healthy behaviors of optimistic people only partly explain the connection with reduced risk of disease.

For the study, researchers looked at information gathered on 70,000 women in the Nurse's Health Study. This massive study began in 1975. It collects health information on those involved in the study every two years. The Harvard researchers looked at the level of optimism of the women, as well as other factors such as race, diet, physical activity level and overall health. They found the most optimistic women had nearly a 30 percent lower risk of dying from disease.

Kaitlin Hagan, another study leader, says earlier studies show that a person can use simple, low-cost methods to increase optimism. For example, thinking about and writing down the best possible outcomes for areas of their lives, like their careers or relationships.

Leslie Ralph, a clinical psychologist and counselor, has several ideas about how to increase optimism. She says each night you might plan to do two or three simple, enjoyable activities the next day, such as watching the sun rise, visiting a friend, dancing to a favorite song or reading a story with your child. And the counselor adds offering praise or support to someone can also improve your own outlook. A smile and "thank you" from another person may help you feel more optimistic.

【1】What do we know from the passage?

A.Relations lie among optimism, pessimism and a glass of water.

B.Good expectations increase risk of dying from disease.

C.An optimist is more likely to live healthily.

D.Supporting someone may receive praise of a pessimist.

【2】What does the underlined word "resilience" mean in Paragraph 6?

A.The ability to recover from difficulty or change.B.A way of thinking and reacting to things.

C.Factors that influence one's health.D.The ability to experience the sense of touching body.

【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.To Be Optimistic or PessimisticB.To Look on the Bright Side or the Opposite

C.Increasing Optimism Keeps You More ActiveD.Looking on the Bright Side Might Help You Live Longer
