At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example,when I was 12,I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico(波多黎各),to always put on sunscreen(防晒霜),not to wander away from my grandmother,and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.

    But despite(尽管)her worries,she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens,she continued to give me space to grow and learn,even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year,I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers(同龄人):While many of them wanted to stay close to home,I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away,she was supportive and excited for me.

    One big thing I realized during my senior year,as my mom granted(允许) me more freedom,was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life,and especially when I was little,the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.

    I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important, like education,and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.

A. didn’t allow him to do so

4.What does the author mainly want to tell us in the text?

1.C 2.D 3.A 4.B 【解析】试题分析:作者的妈妈总是为作者担心,但是,她仍旧放手让作者自己去做许多事情,并给予作者极大的支持。母亲的严格要求和较高的期待督促作者成长。作者把自己能够成为坚强独立的人归功于妈妈的教导。 1.推理判断题。根据第一段句子I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it.和第二段的But despite her worries可推断,作者是单独一人去波多黎各,妈妈非常担心他。故选C。 2.推理判断题。根据第二段句子While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own.可知,作者与同龄人不同,同龄人想到离家近的地方上大学,而作者却迫不及待地想去更远的地方上大学,因此推断作者离开去上大学是为了想要成为独立的。故选D。 3.推理判断题。根据第三段句子I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important, like education,and made me who I am.可推断,作者的妈妈对他期待很高。故选A。 4.写作目的题。根据最后一段句子I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.可知,作者感激妈妈的支持和参与自己的生活,把自己能够成长为一个坚强独立的人归功于妈妈是一个坚强的人,因此推断作者写这篇文章的目的是为了告诉我们妈妈的信任和支持的重要性。故选B。

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

    Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.

    Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.

    Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. zxx|k

    This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.

    Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.

    That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.

1.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?

A. Her camera stopped working.

B. A woman blocked her view.

C. Someone asked her to leave.

D. A friend approached from behind.

2.According to the author, the woman was probably_______.

A. enjoying herself

B. losing her patience

C. waiting for the sunset

D. thinking about her past

3.In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?

A. The rich color of the landscape.

B. The perfect positioning of the camera.

C. The woman’s existence in the photo.

D. The soft sunlight that summer day.

4.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ________.

A. the need to be close to nature

B. the importance of private space

C. the joy of the vacation in Italy

D. the shared passion for beauty

5.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon _______.

A. a particular life experience

B. the pleasure of traveling

C. the art of photography

D. a lost friendship

When my college life begins, I feel it is quite different from senior high school life.

Above all, there are various activities on the campus(校园). They arouse our enthusiasm and we all like to take part in them, from which we benefit much.

Besides, we have to learn how to look after ourselves. When I was in high school, I lived with my parents and they took perfect care of me. But now, I'm in a new place. If I still depend on others, I would never adapt myself to the new surroundings. So college life makes me mature.

In senior high school, teachers would drive me to study if I didn't work hard. But now, it seems to be another story--study becomes my own business(actually it should always be). More often than not, I'm in the classroom studying on my own. So I can say it is college life that lets me know how to study.

1.Why do we like to take parts in the activities on the campus?

A. There are many activities.

B. There are few activities.

C. We were forced to take parts in them.

D. They arouse our enthusiasm and we benefit much from them.

2.Why did the author said that the college life makes him mature?

A. He has to learn to look after himself.

B. He can live with his parents.

C. He can still depend on others.

D. He would never adapt himself to the new surroundings.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. College life is quite different from senior high school life.

B. There are a lot of activities on the campus.

C. Teachers don't care about the students' study at all.

D. College life makes one mature.

It seems that if the result is bad, which people work for will be meaningless. Personally speak, the process of fighting for the goal is less important than the result. When we fight for our goals, we will be devoted what we are doing and try to improve us. If we fail in the end, when we look back on the beginning, we will find that we are no longer the childish one. We have grown up. What's the more, in the process of fighting, we got close to success, as the saying goes that failure are the mother of success. So don't treat the result so serious; just enjoy the process.
