to use them without them using us. We always seem to be busy because we're spending
all of our time using these machines.

Peterson always got
into trouble. One day, he got to know the
wise man Jeff came to his city. Peterson decided to go to see him, "My life is full
of all kinds of problems. Please tell me the way to solve them and live a peaceful
and happy life."
Jeff smiled and said, "There are hundreds
of camels （骆驼）. If all of them sit
down, you can sleep. Peterson
went to do it.
The next morning, Peterson became sad, "I couldn't even
sleep for a moment. I tried a lot but I couldn't get all the camels to sit down
at a time. Some sat down themselves but some wouldn't sit even if I try. If one
sits down, another will stand
up."
Jeff smiled, "Some sat because
of your efforts（努力）. Others wouldn't sit
even after you tried to make them sit. And then later you would find that some of
them sat themselves wasting time."
The same way if we
solve a problem, we can still see another
problem standing there. Problems are part of life. We should learn to face them
in a peaceful heart.
42．What happened to Peterson that night
A．He really had a good sleep.
B．He was pleased with the task.
C．He couldn't complete the task.
D．He couldn't help with Jeff's problems.
43．What's Jeff's purpose of asking Peterson to let all the camels sit down
A．To make him get into trouble.
B．To help Jeff with his camels.
C．To make him know the real life.
D．To help Jeff find out the correct ways.
44．What's the best title（标题）for the text
A．Learn to solve the problems B．Face the problems in peace
C．Keep living a happy life D．Take good care of ourselves
【答案】42．C
43．C

【知识点】人生百味类；议论文
【解析】【分析】大意：本文讲述了Peterson认为自己的生活中充满了问题，然后寻求智者Jefl帮忙解决问题的故事，告诉我们:问题是生活的一部分。我们应该学会用一颗平和的心去面对它们。
【点评】考查阅读理解题。本文涉及细节题和主旨题题型，细节题要注意从文中寻找答案；主旨题需要通读全文，了解大意之后找出中心思想。
42．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I tried a lot but I couldn't get all the camels to sit down at a time.”可知Peterson并没有完成Jeff提出来的任务。故选C。
43．细节理解题。根据最后一段内容“Problems are part of life We should learn to face them in a peaceful heart."可知，Jeff让Peterson让骆驼全部坐下的目的就是让他了解什么才是真正的生活。故选C。
44．主旨题。根据“The same way ifwe solve aproblem, we can still see another problem standing there. Problems are part of life. We should learn to face them in a peaceful heart.”可知，整篇短文主要告诉我们生活中，当一些问题解决了，其他的问题接着就会出现，我们应该用平静的心态去面对一切，所以“平静地面对问题”最适合做标题。故选B。

A person called me
while I was busy writing yesterday. "I'm reading your book, "he said. "There's
a typo （打印错误） on
Page 383. "
"Thanks, but you don't need
to tell me about it, " I said politely.
He was quite surprised.
He expected me to write down the information and then have a talk with him. Instead, I simply thanked him
for calling and ended it.
I have got many calls
like this in the past 25 years. I knew they wanted to be kind to me. But that kindness
often lost the primary meaning. Most of the time, people hoped that I'd
become friends with them or I could follow the free advice happily. The typo could
set up a relationship between us.
This was where they
went wrong. They wanted to have a relationship with me, but they didn't really
understand me.
I'm a busy writer.
I've written 60 books, over 12, 000 pages. No one is
going to print my early books again, so there's nothing
I can do about the typo. Also, I have lots of important
tasks to finish.
So, a better way to begin
a talk with me might be as follows:
"Hi, Bon. I'm reading your
book. There's one thing in it that I'd like to discuss with you. It'll take you
a few minutes. Do you have free time now "
This works beautifully
in daily life. If you want to set up a relationship with someone, you need to know what
he thinks, needs and fears. In
other words, you have to, as the old saying goes, "Put yourself
in the other person's shoes."
45．Why did the writer end the person's call so quickly
A．Because the writer was impolite to others all the time.
B．Because the writer didn't like him because of his mistakes.
C．Because the writer didn't have any free time to talk with him.
D．Because the writer thought the person didn't really understand him.
46．What does the underlined word "briefly" mean in Chinese
A．简略地 B．缓慢地 C．便捷地 D．详尽地
47．Which of the following may be the best way to start a talk with the writer
A．"Do you know Sandy, one of your readers She . . ."
B．"We have a new book on sale. It's amazing. The price . . ."
C．"I'm one of your neighbors. There's a meeting in our community…"
D．"I'd like to talk about your new book. Is this a bad time for you "
48．What's the best title for the passage
A．How to choose friends from strangers
B．How to say sorry to your friends
C．How to set up a relationship with others
D．How to show thanks to people properly

In the morning, you're on the school
bus. But as soon as you turn a corner, you'll find yourself
at the end of a very long queue（队）, it's another traffic
jam! Meanwhile, in Antarctica（南极洲）, snow covers the land.
A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm using stop-and-go movements
to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection
Emperor penguins move
like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new
research. A penguin only needs to move 2 cm in any direction for its neighbor to
do the same thing. These movements then flow（涌动）through the whole group
of penguins like a "traveling wave（波浪） ".
These waves also help
the smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more
of their friends warm. A single Antarctica "traffic jam" has thousands
of penguins. Interestingly, the technology once
used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. It included
studying time-lapse（延时）videos. Scientists
also discovered that's unlike on the road, these waves can be
made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually
dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h, these traveling waves
are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can
also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly
and patient, and never to crash
into each other. These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are
on the road!
49．According to the passage, emperor penguins get together to ______.
A．cross the road B．keep warm C．learn from each other
50．In a traffic jam on the road, ______ .
A．cars cannot move fast
B．drivers can drive carelessly
C．drivers can drive fast
51．From the passage, we learn that a "traveling wave " is ______.
A．formed by the movement of penguins
B．caused by the strong winds in Antarctica
C．caused by a traffic jam on the road
52．The last paragraph wants to tell ______.
A．penguins won't move together if they are not very cold
B．traffic jams happen probably because people are patient
C．we human beings should learn from penguins

Dear friends,
The Students' Union
【答案】Dear friends,
The environmental problems are getting more and more serious nowadays. As students, we should do something to protect the environment.
First, it's very important to save water and energy in our daily life. Don't forget to turn off the lights when we leave the room. Second, we are supposed to reuse the plastic bags when shopping. What's more, we shouldn't throw rubbish everywhere. Third, we'd better walk, ride a bike or take the bus when we go out. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment more beautiful.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! If we keep doing these things, I believe we will live a better life. Let's take action from now on.

When I was a boy, we had a television
set. The program I liked best was The Jetsons. It was a cartoon series set in a
future that was full of fantastic machines that could do anything. I always dreamed
of a day when I would have machines like this to do all my work, so I could just sit
back and relax.
Now my life is full
of machines like these, but I seem to have
more to do than ever. Just today I had to spend most of the morning downloading
a new version（版本）of my word processing
program so I could write this article. When I first started out, I wrote my stories
on lined notebook paper, and it took half the
time. Last week, I spent most of another
morning trying to get my new coffee maker to work right. I seem to be drowning in
a sea of new rules and problems that come with new technology.
Now don't get me wrong.
Computers and machines have done a lot to help all of us. I just want us to be able
to use them without them using us. We always seem to be busy because we're spending
all of our time using these machines.
I hope that in the
future, machines can be more
user-friendly, so we don't spend all
our time on them. With machines we can live an easier life, but they can never
replace time spent will family and friends.
39．Why did the writer mention his childhood cartoon
A．To share his happy times with the readers.
B．To compare the life in the past and the life today.
C．To introduce his favorite program.
D．To introduce the story topic.
40．Paragraph 2 is written to show ______.
A．the writer's dream finally came true
B．machines in our life bring us a lot of convenience
C．new technology brings problems
D．the technology develops fast
41．What is the writer's attitude toward machines
A．The machines are useless.
B．Machines are helpful and time-saving.
C．We spend too much time using machines.
D．We have lived an easy life with machines.

Peterson always got
into trouble. One day, he got to know the
wise man Jeff came to his city. Peterson decided to go to see him, "My life is full
of all kinds of problems. Please tell me the way to solve them and live a peaceful
and happy life."
Jeff smiled and said, "There are hundreds
of camels （骆驼）. If all of them sit
down, you can sleep. Peterson
went to do it.
The next morning, Peterson became sad, "I couldn't even
sleep for a moment. I tried a lot but I couldn't get all the camels to sit down
at a time. Some sat down themselves but some wouldn't sit even if I try. If one
sits down, another will stand
up."
Jeff smiled, "Some sat because
of your efforts（努力）. Others wouldn't sit
even after you tried to make them sit. And then later you would find that some of
them sat themselves wasting time."
The same way if we
solve a problem, we can still see another
problem standing there. Problems are part of life. We should learn to face them
in a peaceful heart.
42．What happened to Peterson that night
A．He really had a good sleep.
B．He was pleased with the task.
C．He couldn't complete the task.
D．He couldn't help with Jeff's problems.
43．What's Jeff's purpose of asking Peterson to let all the camels sit down
A．To make him get into trouble.
B．To help Jeff with his camels.
C．To make him know the real life.
D．To help Jeff find out the correct ways.
44．What's the best title（标题）for the text
A．Learn to solve the problems B．Face the problems in peace

A person called me
while I was busy writing yesterday. "I'm reading your book, "he said. "There's
a typo （打印错误） on
Page 383. "
"Thanks, but you don't need
to tell me about it, " I said politely.
He was quite surprised.
He expected me to write down the information and then have a talk with him. Instead, I simply thanked him
for calling and ended it.
I have got many calls
like this in the past 25 years. I knew they wanted to be kind to me. But that kindness
often lost the primary meaning. Most of the time, people hoped that I'd
become friends with them or I could follow the free advice happily. The typo could
set up a relationship between us.
This was where they
went wrong. They wanted to have a relationship with me, but they didn't really
understand me.
I'm a busy writer.
I've written 60 books, over 12, 000 pages. No one is
going to print my early books again, so there's nothing
I can do about the typo. Also, I have lots of important
tasks to finish.
So, a better way to begin
a talk with me might be as follows:
"Hi, Bon. I'm reading your
book. There's one thing in it that I'd like to discuss with you. It'll take you
a few minutes. Do you have free time now "
This works beautifully
in daily life. If you want to set up a relationship with someone, you need to know what
he thinks, needs and fears. In
other words, you have to, as the old saying goes, "Put yourself
in the other person's shoes."
45．Why did the writer end the person's call so quickly
A．Because the writer was impolite to others all the time.
B．Because the writer didn't like him because of his mistakes.
C．Because the writer didn't have any free time to talk with him.
D．Because the writer thought the person didn't really understand him.
46．What does the underlined word "briefly" mean in Chinese
A．简略地 B．缓慢地 C．便捷地 D．详尽地
47．Which of the following may be the best way to start a talk with the writer
A．"Do you know Sandy, one of your readers She . . ."
B．"We have a new book on sale. It's amazing. The price . . ."
C．"I'm one of your neighbors. There's a meeting in our community…"
D．"I'd like to talk about your new book. Is this a bad time for you "
48．What's the best title for the passage
A．How to choose friends from strangers
B．How to say sorry to your friends
C．How to set up a relationship with others
D．How to show thanks to people properly

In the morning, you're on the school
bus. But as soon as you turn a corner, you'll find yourself
at the end of a very long queue（队）, it's another traffic
jam! Meanwhile, in Antarctica（南极洲）, snow covers the land.
A group of emperor penguins crowd together to keep warm using stop-and-go movements
to protect themselves from the winds. Can you see the connection
Emperor penguins move
like cars in traffic jams to keep warm, according to a new
research. A penguin only needs to move 2 cm in any direction for its neighbor to
do the same thing. These movements then flow（涌动）through the whole group
of penguins like a "traveling wave（波浪） ".
These waves also help
the smaller crowds join bigger groups, keeping more and more
of their friends warm. A single Antarctica "traffic jam" has thousands
of penguins. Interestingly, the technology once
used for studying road traffic jams was used to study the penguins. It included
studying time-lapse（延时）videos. Scientists
also discovered that's unlike on the road, these waves can be
made by any penguin and in any direction.
With temperatures usually
dropping 50 degrees below zero and winds reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h, these traveling waves
are very important for penguins to keep warm.
These penguins can
also teach us a lesson. In a big group, they learn to be orderly
and patient, and never to crash
into each other. These are skills that we should all learn from them when we are
on the road!
49．According to the passage, emperor penguins get together to ______.
A．cross the road B．keep warm C．learn from each other
50．In a traffic jam on the road, ______ .
A．cars cannot move fast
B．drivers can drive carelessly
C．drivers can drive fast
51．From the passage, we learn that a "traveling wave " is ______.
A．formed by the movement of penguins
B．caused by the strong winds in Antarctica
C．caused by a traffic jam on the road
52．The last paragraph wants to tell ______.
A．penguins won't move together if they are not very cold
B．traffic jams happen probably because people are patient
C．we human beings should learn from penguins

What's more, we shouldn't throw rubbish everywhere. Third, we'd better walk, ride a bike or take the bus when we go out. Last but not least, we need to plant more trees and flowers to make the environment more beautiful.
How important it is for us to protect the environment! If we keep doing these things, I believe we will live a better life. Let's take action from now on.
