21、   When I was about 12, I had an enemy (敌人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings (缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin; I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark (标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention (注意力) to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to a very clear picture of myself.

I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty (职责). Don’t close your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”

Daddy’s advice returns to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.

【1】What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in Paragraph One?

A.Week by week she found more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.

B.Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.

C.She made a list of her shortcomings and it grew longer and longer.

【2】What did the father do after he heard his daughter’s complaint (抱怨)?

A.He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” said.

B.He criticized (批评) her and told her to change all her shortcomings.

C.He told her to write down all her “enemy” said about her and pay attention just to the things that were true.

【3】Why did the writer feel surprised?

A.Because she could change many of her shortcomings.

B.Because she found that half of the things in the list were true.

C.Because her father refused to take the list.

【4】We can learn from that passage that ________.

A.the father knows better than anyone else the truth about the writer.

B.the writer could change everything pointed out by the girl.

C.Daddy’s advice is the best piece the writer has in her life.

【5】Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?

A.Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend

B.The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had

C.My Father

22、【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】

Our polite, little phrases

Many of us share these kinds of verbal habits: pausing at certain moments, filling in sentences with extra words or qualifying statements to make them sound more honest.

For example, have you ever been told by your friend: “I am only telling you this because I care about you—you really need to lose weight”? Or, by your classmate: “No offense, but to be perfectly honest, you’ve done a terrible job”?

These speech acts are called “verbal tee-ups”, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. They are like cushions meant to soften bad or unpleasant news. Other verbal tee-ups include: “Don’t take this the wrong way, but…”, or “Don’t get mad, but…”.

For speakers, verbal tee-ups make it easier to say difficult things. They sound formal and polite. But aren’t they dishonest?

According to James W. Pennebaker, Psychology Department chair at the University of Texas at Austin, US, these phrases “are to formalize social relations so you don’t have to reveal your true self”, he told The Wall Street Journal.

However, Anne Curzan, professor of English at the University of Michigan, US, says that verbal tee-ups are a bit like traffic signals. “If we know that we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it can be nice to give the listener a moment to prepare for the message,” she wrote in the article Verbal Tee-ups: A More Positive Spin, published in The Chronicle of Higher Education.

Curzan gives an example. Suppose she needs an extension from an editor because she can’t get her article done on time. She might start her request with “I’m sorry to have to ask…”, or “I understand if this isn’t possible…”.

She could just say: “I need an extension”. But that doesn’t “feel very polite”, Curzan noted. Instead, it’s “sudden” and doesn’t “give the editor any choice”.

【1】What’s the purpose of pausing at certain moments and fill in sentences with extra words?

A．To give a pause.

B．To make them sound more honest.

C．To make an apology.

D．To give thanks.

【2】What’s the function of “verbal tee-ups”?

A．To soften bad or unpleasant news.

B．To soften good news.

C．To give bad or unpleasant news.

D．To make others feel uncomfortable.

【3】According to Anne Curzan, if we’re about to say something potentially damaging, it’s better to ________.

A．give a pause

B．use “verbal tee-ups”

C．say it directly

D．say sorry

【4】If we don’t use “verbal tee-ups”, it means________.

A．we are honest

B．we are polite

C．we are impolite

D．we have news to say

【5】What’s the passage mainly about?

A．“Verbal tee-ups”—a polite verbal habits.

B．“Verbal tee-ups”—a bad habits.

C．Verbal habits.

D．An honest pause.

24、   “Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country.” It’s a famous sentence from US president John F. Kennedy’s speech in 1961.

Mark Zuckerberg, who set up (创立) social network site Facebook, must agree with Kennedy. The 35-year-old American raised $100 million for the public schools in New Jersey, US.

Who is this young billionaire? How did he make his fortune (财富)?

Zuckerberg was a computer geek (天才) at Harvard University. As a second-year student, he set up a website to put the “face books” — photos of incoming first-year student —online. The website, where people were able to share personal information, was a success at once.

Zuckerberg first opened Facebook to high school students and then to everyone. Soon it became a part of American life. Now Facebook is the most popular site in the world with 600 million users. If Facebook were a country, it would be the world’s third largest.

“I could have never imagined all of the ways people would use Facebook when we were getting started six years ago,” Zuckerberg wrote in his blog.

Zuckerberg’s dream is to make the Internet a more connected place. That task could help Facebook make money: The more people share information about themselves online, the more money Facebook will make selling advertising.

Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye. At the company, he sits among a sea of desks like hundreds of workers. A visitor to Facebook might not even recognize Zuckerberg in T-shirt and jeans. He usually takes one two-week vacation each year with his wife Priscilla Chan, who was once a Chinese American student at Harvard. On the weekends, he roasts pig in his garden for friends and takes Mandarin (普通话) lessons.

The Social Network, a movie based on Zuckerberg’s story, was among popular films of Year 2010.

【1】At the very beginning, Mark Zuckerberg set up the website in order to ________.

A.communicate with more people B.make a lot of money

C.put the photos of first-year students online D.become a famous person

【2】Mark Zuckerberg gave $100 million to ________.

A.Harvard University B.the public schools in New Jersey

C.his hometown D.high school students

【3】Mark Zuckerberg set up Facebook ________.

A.when he was a first-year student at Harvard University B.when he was 26 years old

C.in his second year at Harvard University D.soon after he finished the study at university

【4】The underlined sentence “Yet the billionaire keeps his own life out of the public eye.” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.Mark Zuckerberg tries not to attract others’ attention to his family life

B.Mark Zuckerberg doesn’t like to speak in public

C.Mark Zuckerberg is afraid to meet new people

D.Mark Zuckerberg chooses to live in a place far away from people

【5】According to the passage, Mark Zuckerberg ________.

A.likes to roast pig for friends on weekdays B.takes Mandarin lessons

C.likes to wear suits at work D.makes some movies

【6】At the beginning of the passage, the writer says Mark Zuckerberg must agree with Kennedy’s famous sentence because ________.

A.he helps to introduce America to the outside world B.he works hard to make his country rich

C.he seldom asks others to help him D.he does a lot of charity (慈善) work for his countrymen
