A poor farmer had a friend,who was famous for the wonderful apple he grew.One day,his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him1.(take) it home and plant it.

The farmer was pleased with the gift,but when he got home he did not know where to plant it.He was afraid that 2.he planted the tree in one of his fields,his neighbors would come at night and pick some of the apples.Finally he planted the tree in his wood3.no one could see it.But4.sunlight and good soil,the tree soon died.

Later the friend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in5.a poor place."What's the difference?"the farmer said6.(angry)."If I had planted the tree near the road,strangers7.(steal) the fruit."

"Yes,"said the friend,"8.at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.Now you not only have robbed everyone9.the fruit,but also you10.(destroy)a good apple tree!"

 

1.to take 2.if 3.where/so 4.without 5.such 6.angrily 7.would/could/might have stolen 8.but 9.of 10.have destroyed 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一个蕴含哲理的小故事。一个农民的朋友非常善于种植苹果树,他的的朋友给了他一棵树苗让他回家种上,农民害怕种在田野里会有邻居把苹果偷走,所以就种在了自己的小树林里,但是因为缺少阳光而且没有肥沃的土壤,苹果树很快就死了,农民认为自己的苹果树死了和种在路边果实被偷走最终的结果都是一样的,但是朋友却告诉他,种在路边至少可以有人能够享受到它美味的果实,现在农民不仅抢走了大家的果实,还毁了自己的苹果树。 1.“tell sb sth”是“告诉某人某事”,“tell sb to do sth”是“告诉某人做某事”,“his friend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him_____(take) it home and plant it.”这里的意思是这个农民的朋友给了他一颗苹果树苗,告诉他带回家把树苗种上,所以应该是“to take”。 2.根据“but when he got home he did not know where to plant it”可知他不知道应该把这课苹果树种在哪里,说明还没有种,“_____he planted the tree in one of his fields,his neighbors would come at night and pick some of the apples.”抓住“would”一词,推断出这里是一个虚拟语气,用“if”引导条件句,与现在事实相反,直接用过去时。 3.“Finally he planted the tree in his wood______no one could see it”分析句子成分,主谓宾都不缺少,“in his wood”作状语,后面跟一个定语从句补充说明,定语从句不缺主谓宾,因而先行词充当状语成分,用关系副词引导,这里先行词是“wood”,表示一个地点,应该是“where”。 4.根据“But______sunlight and good soil,the tree soon died.”可知这棵树不久就死了,所以可以推测出导致树死亡的原因应该是没有阳光和肥沃的土壤,故应该填“without”,构成介宾短语作状语。 5.考察短语“such+a/an”,such修饰单数名词放于不定冠词之前,意为“这样一个……”,这里是农民的朋友指责他为什么要把苹果树苗种在这样一个环境恶劣的地方。 6.“the farmer said______(angry)”,分析句子成分,空格处的词是用来修饰谓语“said”的,所以是做状语成分,应该用副词“angrily”。 7.这里“If I had planted the tree near the road,strangers the fruit.”是一个虚拟语气,与现在相反的if从句用过去时;与过去相反用过去完成时;这里是用的过去完成时,所以是与过去相反,故主句里应该填写“would/could/might have stolen”。 8.“Yes,"said the friend,"_____at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit.”前面的”yes”,表示同意,后面“至少有人享受到了它的果实”与“同意”的意见是相反的,所以这里应该有一个转折,故填“but”。 9.根据“robbed everyone______the fruit”可知这里应该填“of”,构成“rob of”短语,意为抢走。“Now you not only have robbed everyone of the fruit”即农民的朋友指责他抢走了本应该属于大家的水果。 10.根据“But without sunlight and good soil,the tree soon died.”可知树现在已经死了,所以这里应该用现在完成时,故填“have destoryed”。

A conflict at work is common.If you can avoid conflict,it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants.Since the potential problem has not been removed,it will simply reappear later.1.

◆Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work.On many occasions(场合),conflict and disagreement are likely to happen.But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world.2.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly.The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

3.Solve a conflict when it starts,as it only gets worse with time going by.Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while.It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

◆Ask nicely.If somebody has done something that makes you angry,or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions,simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference.Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you.Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does,and a potential conflict disappears right there.4.

◆Appreciate.5.Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict.This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with,but it is a great way to move forward.

A.Praise the other part in the conflict

B.Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.

C.Invite the other person to talk about the situation.

D.Do remember to make an enquiry,not an accusation of any sort.

E.Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work

F.On the contrary,it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.

G.Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over.

Floods are second only to fire as the most common of all natural disasters.They occur almost everywhere in the world,resulting in widespread damage and even death.Consequently,scientists have long tried to perfect their ability to predict floods.So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the potential for flooding in certain conditions. There are a number of conditions,from deep snow on the ground to human error,which cause flooding.

When deep snow melts it creates a large amount of water.Although deep snow alone rarely causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather it can lead to serious flooding.If there is a fast snow melt on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is more likely to occur than when the ground is not frozen.Frozen ground or ground that is very wet cannot absorb the additional water created by the melting snow.Melting snow also contributes to high water levels in rivers and streams.

Rivers that are covered in ice can also lead to flooding.When ice begins to melt,the surface of the ice cracks and breaks into large pieces.These pieces of ice move and float down the river,They can form a dam in the river,causing the water behind the dam to rise and flood the land upstream.If the dam breaks suddenly,then the large amount of water held behind the dam can flood the areas downstream too.

Broken ice dams are not the only dam problems that can cause flooding.When a large human-made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,the results can be devastating.Dams contain such huge amounts of water behind them that when sudden breaks occur,the great force of the water is like a great tidal wave.The dam waters can travel tens of kilometres,cover the ground in metres of mud and litter,and drown and crush every thing and creature in their path.

Although scientists cannot always predict exactly when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are probably going to occur.Deep snow,ice-covered rivers,and weak dams are all strong conditions for potential flooding.

1.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

("P" stands for "Paragraph".)

A.     B.

C.     D.

2.Why does frozen ground probably contribute to flooding when deep snow melts?

A. It is likely to form an ice dam.

B. It is too hard for water to run off.

C. It cannot take in more water.

D. It makes the snow melt too quickly.

3.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word "devastating" in Paragraph 4?

A. Positive.    B. Disappointing.

C. Impressive.    D. Damaging.

4.What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A. How floods come into being.    B. Where floods usually occur.

C. Why floods do huge damage.    D. How to prevent floods effectively.

Recently,people in US education have gotten extremely worried because a new report has shown that American students have a math problem.

The 2015 Program for International Student Assessment(评估)(PISA) shows math scores in the US getting lower and no improvement in science or reading.PISA tests 15-year-olds from different countries and regions in their math,science and reading skills.About 540,000 students from 72 countries and regions took part in the assessment in 2015.

US scores in reading and science were about the same as three years ago,leaving Americans near the middle of the bigger group.But the situation in math is much more worrying.The US average score was 470,be;ow the OECD(经合组织)test average of 490,meaning the US was No.40 among the 72 countries and areas.It was 12 points lower than in 2012 and 18 points lower than in 2009.So,what is going on with American students' math skills?

One reason may be that the US does not teach math in enough depth."Students are often good at answering the first part of a problem in the United States,"said Andreas Schleicher,director of education and skills at OECD."But as soon as students have to go deeper and answer the more complicated part of a problem,they have difficulties."In comparison,many high-performing countries and regions in math teach a lot less but focus in much greater depth, especially when you look at East Asia,Japan and Singapore,according to Schleicher.

Another reason may be the fact that many people in the US are unwilling to travel to foreign countries to learn better teaching practices."One of our biggest challenges in the US is that the teachers are not going out and seeing what high-performing countries do differently,"said Wendy Kopp,who started Teach for America,in a news program.

1.When it comes to the 2015 PISA results,people in US education are more concerned about      .

A. the US average score

B. the differences from the previous PISA

C. American students' performance in math

D. American students' situation in science and reading skills

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. American students are not interested in simple math problems.

B. American students are unwilling to go abroad for further study.

C. American math teachers envy high-performing countries better teaching skills.

D. American math teachers seldom teach students how to solve complicated problems.

3.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To inform people of American students' 2015 PISA results.

B. To analyze the causes of American students' problems with math.

C. To stress the importance of learning math well to America students.

D. To give American math teachers some advice on how to teach math.

Pink has never been one of the favorite colors of the fashion industry,as it's often seen as silly and not cool enough.But this spring,it's having its moment in the spotlight,all thanks to the fact that the color is no longer all about being girly and sweet.Instead,pink is taking on a new meaning of independence and power.

This shift happened last month during the Women's March.Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of major cities in the US and in countries all around the world to protest(抗议)against the disrespect to women.What was unusual about the protests is that a lot of people taking part were wearing pink hats,making the streets appear like a "sea of pink".Even though the hats were without any slogan(标语),their pink color is thought to have sent out a message that is louder than any words."We women have power and we're not going to sit down and shut up," Aileen Gildea,one of the protesters in the US,told The Boston Globe.

Now young people are changing their attitudes to pink.They are no longer trying to escape pink,but give new meanings to it instead.

"Women who came before us ...to be taken seriously they had to get away from the symbols used to make women seem less capable.Younger women don't have that reaction.They're more interested in breaking and rebuild those symbols,"Audrey Gelman,a businesswoman in the US,told The Wall Street Journal.

So sometimes it's not the thing itself that needs to be changed,but the way we look at it.And in the case of pink, what used to be seen as silly may be turned into something really serious.

1.In general,people tend to relate pink to      .

A. independence    B. weakness

C. power    D. sadness

2.According to Aileen Gildea,what were their protests meant to convey?

A. Women actually prefer pink to any other color.

B. Women need to get away from those symbols of silliness.

C. Women ought to have a bigger voice in society.

D. Women should have the right to choose whatever colors.

3.The last paragraph implies that sometimes it is necessary to      .

A. change our traditional concepts

B. show greater respect for women

C. have doubts about the so-called "truth"

D. tell something silly from something serious
