　　(2009年東北三校第二次聯(lián)考，A)

　　It was Molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.

　　One morning，in addition to his usual lunch bag，Molly handed him a second paper bag.This one was worn and held together with staples (書釘)．

　　“Why two bags？” her father asked.“The other is something else，” Molly answered.“What’s in it？”“Just some stuff (東西)．Take it with you.”

　　Not wanting to discuss the matter，he put both sacks into his briefcase，kissed Molly and rushed off.At midday he opened Molly’s bag and took out the contents：two hair ribbons (絲帶)，three small stones，a plastic dinosaur，a tiny sea shell，a small doll，and 13 pennies...The busy father smiled，finished eating，and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket，Molly’s stuff included.

　　That evening，Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper.“Where’s my bag？”“What bag？”“The one I gave you this morning.”“I left it at the office，my dear.”“I forgot to put this note in it，” she said.“And，besides，Daddy，the things in the sack are the things I really like.I thought you might like to play with them.You didn’t lose the bag，did you，Daddy？”“Oh，no，” he said，lying.“I just forgot to bring it home.I’ll bring it tomorrow.”While Molly hugged her father’s neck，he unfolded the note that read，“I love you，Daddy.” Molly had given him her treasures—all that a 7-year-old held dear.

　　Love was in a paper bag，and he missed it—not only missed it，but had thrown it in the wastebasket.So he went back to the office.Just ahead of the night janitor (看門人)，he picked up the bag from the wastebasket.He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully.The bag didn’t look so good，but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted.

　　After dinner，he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack.It took a long time to tell.[來源:學(xué)#科#網(wǎng)Z#X#X#K]

　　Everything had a story or a memory.

　　“Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life.” he thought.We should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life，but the journey.That journey with the people we love is all that really matters.It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.

　　1．Why did Molly give her father a second bag?

　　A．She didn’t want to keep the things in the Bag.

　　B．She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.

　　C．She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.

　　D．She enjoyed playing with her father.

　　2．How did Father deal with the bag after he opened it?

　　A．He kept it in the drawer.

　　B．He took it back home.

　　C．He threw it into the wastebasket.

　　D．He put it on his table.

　　3．After Father heard what his daughter said，he felt________.

　　A．regretful                  B．surprised

　　C．sad                      D．satisfied

　　4．Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?

　　A．An Important Journey          B．Two Bags

　　C．Father and Daughter           D．Love in a Paper Bag

　　Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead，realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

　　The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not a chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

　　You cannot be successful without first developing yourself-esteem (自尊)．Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself，and thus over your life.People with low self-esteem do not believe that they have any power，or responsibility for their lives.They are leaves tossed (搖擺) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.

　　You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.

　　Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause，we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible for setting our expectations.Our success depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.

　　If you associate with positive-thinking people，you are definitely going to achieve success.On the contrary，the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding，planting，and nurturing (培育) the seeds that contain future victory，born from setbacks.

　　In short，in all areas of your life，whether they are financial，physical，emotional，or spiritual，you are responsible.Once you recognize this，accept it，and firmly believe it，you are on the road to success.

　　5．Losers would think that________.

　　A．success is the result of hard work

　　B．working hard will lead to success

　　C．they fail only because of bad luck

　　D．they don’t make efforts to succeed

　　6．It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.[來源:Zxxk.Com]

　　A．whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

　　B．developing confidence is the key to future success

　　C．thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind

　　D．setting our expectations is essential before taking action

　　7．The last paragraph serves as________.

　　A．the proof of the author’s point

　　B．the conclusion of the argument

　　C．a(chǎn)n introduction to another topic

　　D．a(chǎn) comparison between two views[來源:學(xué)科網(wǎng)]

　　8．Which is the best title of the text?

　　A．Success is a choice                      B．The secrets of success

　　C．Develop our confidence               D．How to achieve success

　　答案：

　�、�.單項填空

　　1．C　由句意“看醫(yī)生時最好帶點東西讀，以防需要等”可知應(yīng)用in case。in order that為了，even if即使及as if好像，均與語境不符，故選C。

　　2．C　develop表示“發(fā)展”。句意為：大學(xué)期間我們有許多課外活動來發(fā)展我們的社交技能。

　　3．A　exist表示“存在”。句意為：我們不能繼續(xù)假裝在我們城市沒有無家可歸的人的問題。live in居住，survive存活，都不合題意

　　4．D　考查連詞的用法。句意為：既然你已獲得了機會，就不防充分利用。for是并列連詞，用來補充說明理由，不能放在句首。because語氣最強，表直接原因。even though表示“即使”，不合句意。now that說明已成為事實的理由，常譯為“既然”，相當于since。

　　5．D　考查交際用語。句意為：——我能看一會兒菜單后再作決定嗎？——當然可以，先生，你慢慢看。take one’s time表示“慢慢來，別著急”，根據(jù)句意應(yīng)選D。

　　6．C　atmosphere表示“氛圍、氣氛”。句意為：由于完全沉醉在足球賽的令人興奮的氛圍中，湯姆全然不知有人掏他的口袋。其他選項無此意。

　　7．C　句意為：他沒說清楚會議將于何時、何地舉行。依題干句式結(jié)構(gòu)，make后缺形式賓語。四個選項中只有C項it能在句子中作形式主語或賓語。

　　8．B　whether連詞“是否”，引導(dǎo)主語從句，不作成分，if不能引導(dǎo)主語從句。

　　9．B　本題考查動詞短語。link with聯(lián)系著；depend on依賴；connect to連接；decide on決定。由題意不難推出答案為B。句意為：我計劃舉行一次露天聚會，但是我不敢保證，因為這要取決于天氣。

　　10．D　本題考查交際用語。go ahead用吧，拿吧，請吧，一般用于回答允許別人做某事；good luck祝你好運；no problem沒問題，都與題意不符。cheer up用于鼓勵別人，意為“加油，打起精神”。句意為：“我在想明天的考試，我很擔心這次通過不了。”“打起精神，我相信你一定行的。”

　　11．D　句意為：不要當著小孩子的面談?wù)撨@樣的問題。appearance出現(xiàn)；surface表面；existence存在；in the presence of sb.當著某人的面。

　　12．B　句意為：十年前我們村的人口是他們村的兩倍。population往往與large或small搭配，且形容詞比較級的結(jié)構(gòu)之一為：倍數(shù)＋as＋形容詞原級＋as...。

　　13．D　考查短語辨析。break out爆發(fā)。break into破門而入；break up分裂；break down損壞。

　　14．C　考查短語辨析。in time及時。句意為：我本來打算趕早班的火車，但是我沒能及時起床。

　　15．B　do harm to sb./sth.為固定短語，意為“對……有害”，且“the modern farming...countryside”為定語從句修飾harm。

　　。

　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　1．B　根據(jù)文章第五段可知，小女孩以為自己喜歡的那些東西，父親一定也喜歡，并會給他帶來快樂。

　　2．C　根據(jù)第四段最后一句可知，父親將女兒的東西丟進了廢紙簍。

　　3．A　由第六段可知，父親很后悔自己輕率的行為。

　　4．D　小女孩將自己心愛的東西裝在紙袋里，希望它能給父親帶來快樂，其實她是將自己對父親的愛裝在紙袋里面了。

　　5．C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章的第四段可知，失敗者總是認為事情的發(fā)生都是偶然的，因此他們會把自己的失敗歸因于時運不濟。

　　6．A　推理判斷題。第五段講述成功的秘訣：人們的思想和信念決定一切。走向成功需要對自己充滿期望和自信。

　　7．B　最后一段開頭的短語In short暗示本段為文章的結(jié)論部分。

　　8．A　主旨大意題。本文圍繞一個中心來寫“成功是你我的選擇”。
