Do you remember your first day of school...

    Do you remember your first day of school? Were you excited or a bit scared? When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.

My mother and I walked quietly, downhill into the center of town. When we entered the classroom, I noticed all the children were sitting quietly in their seats. Anxiously, I picked a spot next to a friendly-looking girl.

In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered. Her desk was covered with huge cardboard cones. I knew that my mother had filled my Schultuete with goodies and brought it to my classroom the day before, but I didn't know which one was mine.

That morning, the focus of my attention remained with those cones. All of the fear slowly disappeared. When the teacher asked me to approach the desk, she did not seem threatening at all. When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.

Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all. Hurriedly, I unwrapped my Schultuete and discovered candies, chocolates, and oranges. This day stayed in my mind as one of the sweetest in my life.

When I was older I asked my mother about her first day of school. She told me she hadn't received a Schultuete from her parents because the custom had not been established all over Germany at that time.

The custom began in the cities in the 1800s and then spread to the towns and villages. By the early 1950s, the tradition of the Schultuete was established all over the country. And it has been passed on even in the present day.

1.How did the author feel at first about her first day of school?

A.Excited B.Confused

C.Afraid D.Delighted

2.According to the text, a Schultuete _____.

A.is given to kids as a gift on their first day of school

B.is presented as a reward by a school teacher

C.became popular in the early 19th century

D.is usually filled with school supplies

3.The underlined sentence “The hill did not seem steep at all” implies that ____.

A.the author was in good health B.the author was very excited then

C.the author enjoyed climbing hills D.the author missed her mother badly

 

1.C 2.A 3.B 【解析】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者第一天上学的经历。 1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的When I started school, I lived in an area of southern Germany. I remember how frightened I was, mostly because I didn’t know what to expect.可知,当我开始上学的时候,我住在德国南部的一个地区。我记得我有多害怕,主要是因为我不知道会发生什么。由此可知,作者第一天上学的时候,感到很害怕。故选C。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的In my nervousness, I had totally forgotten I was to receive a Schultuete (school cone) on the first day of school, but as I looked at my teacher's desk I remembered.可知,(由于紧张,我完全忘记了开学第一天我将收到一份学校Schultuete,但当我看着老师的桌子时,我想起来了)及第四段中的When she smilingly handed me my Schultuete, I was the happiest girl.(当她微笑着把书递给我时,我是最快乐的女孩)和第五段中的Proudly, I carried my gift home.(我自豪地把礼物带回家)可推知,Schultuete是学校在孩子们第一天上学的时候,给他们的礼物。故选A。 3.词义理解题。根据划线句及前句Proudly, I carried my gift home. The hill did not seem steep at all.可知,我自豪地把礼物带回家。这座山看上去一点也不陡峭。由此推知,这时候作者非常的兴奋。故选B。

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?” 1..

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time 2.. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad (少年) offered to take his place. 3..

This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the lad had gone home to ponder (考虑) his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well. Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差).When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. 4.. And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A. It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

B. People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.

C. it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers.

D. Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

E. But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

F. He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?

A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

2.It is suggested in this passage that_______.

A.close relation usually have similar intelligence

B.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

C.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

3.The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _______ .

A.purposely B.frequently

C.aimlessly D.independently

4.The best title for this article would be_______.

A.What Dose Intelligence Mean ?

B.On Intelligence

C.We Are Born with Intelligence

D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
