20、小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AThe cost of living in countries like the U.S,Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed (飞涨) in recent years.However, if you are willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap a
21、nd low cost of living.Check out the following countries when planning your next move.EcuadorEcuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the U.S. dollar for their currency.In this country, it is cheaper to eat out every da
22、y than cook for yourself on a budget in the US.You can even buy a property for around $50,000 and hire someone to tend to it while you are away.MexicoAlthough the country is known for its poverty-ridden streets,there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need.You can live of
23、f a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico,and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.ArgentinaArgentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore.Not to mention, it is not very expensiv
24、e to live there. A decent sized home can cost around $139,000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.VietnamVietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or
25、small home for around $25,000 to $50, 000 if you search in the right areas.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。近年来,生活在美国、英国、澳大利亚或法国等国的成本猛增。文章介绍了厄瓜多尔、墨西哥、阿根廷和越南的生活成本。21How much does it take at least to live in Mexico for six months?_A_AAbout $ 4,200.BAbout $ 8,000.CAbout $ 8,400.DAbout $ 9,800.解析:细节理解题。根据Mexico部分的“You can
26、 live off a mere $700 to $800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.”可知,在墨西哥一年的生活成本大约是$8 400至$9 600之间,半年就是$4 200左右。故选A。22What does Argentina and Vietnam have in common?_C_AThey both have great restaurants.BThe cost of living in them is both
27、 expensive.CPeople are all fond of travelling to the two countries.DThe middle-sized homes both cost around $139,000.解析:细节理解题。根据Argentina部分的“Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.”和Vietnam部分的“Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.”可知,阿根廷和越南都是
28、受欢迎的旅游目的地。故选C。23In which country did the purchaser probably pay extra money after he left?_A_AEcuador.BMexico.CArgentina.DVietnam.解析:推理判断题。根据Ecuador部分的“You can even buy a property for around $50,000 and hire someone to tend to it while you are away.”可知,你在厄瓜多尔甚至可以花大约5万美元买一处房产,在你不在的时候雇个人照看它。因此推断,在这里购买
29、房产以后还要额外花钱请人照顾。故选A。BBy the time I reached junior high, I was sure I wanted to be a nurse.If you didnt study Latin, you couldnt be a nurse, so I enrolled (登记).Many Latin words were familiar to me.The hard part turned out to be the usage and creating sentences with the words that seemed so easy to pro
30、nounce.Several weeks into the course my teacher came to me, saying, “I think you should withdraw (退出) from this course.It seems to be too hard for you.”That was the day I learned I wasnt smart enough to become a nurse.With shame, I handed in my Latin textbook.After high school,the years raced by.I m
31、arried and had children.Then one day my husband John came home,“Carol,Max died this afternoon.” I looked at my husband with disbelief.John was touched by this tragedy (悲剧).Finally one evening he said,“Carol,Jackie has never worked and now shes alone with four children.Ive been thinkingif anything ha
32、ppens to me, I want you to be able to take care of yourself and the children.Why dont you think about what youd like to do and get the training youll need to do it?”I signed up for the entrance exam for nursing programs.One day I received a letter from the school.I wanted so badly to open it, but wi
33、th my lack of confidence,I laid it on the kitchen counter, saying, “Im not in the mood for a rejection letter today.”Finally I forced myself to open it.“Dear Carol,” I read.“We are pleased to inform you that you successfully passed the entrance exam.”An insensitive (冷漠的) teacher once stole my dream.
34、If you have a dream, exhaust every effort to reach it.Ive worked thirty years now as a nurse and Ive never been more certain that this is what I was meant to be.文章大意:本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了卡罗尔重拾梦想的故事。24Why did John advise Carol to find a job?_B_ATo support the family.BTo be able to live independently.CTo live
35、a more colorful life.DTo provide more money for her kids.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知,丈夫让她找工作是希望她可以独立生活。故答案为B。25From the text, we know what the teacher said _C_.Asaved Carol from wasting her timeBhelped Carol find her true interestCdestroyed Carols dream to be a nurseDencouraged Carol to be careful in learn
36、ing解析:推理判断题。根据第二段内容及最后一段第一句可推知,老师所说的话摧毁了她的梦想。故答案选C。26After receiving the letter from the school, Carol _D_.Acouldnt wait to open itBhad no mood to read it thenCdidnt take it seriously at allDwas uncertain about the result解析:推理判断题。第五段提到卡罗尔收到一封信,但因为她没有把握通过考试,担心被拒绝,所以那天她没有打开信;第六段提到她打开了那封信,高兴地得知自己通过了考试。
37、由此可推知,卡罗尔对信中的内容不确定。故答案为D。27What may be the best title for the text?_A_AToo Stupid to Be a NurseBA Dream too High to AchieveCNever too Late to LearnDA Chance too Important to Miss解析:标题归纳题。根据第二段第一句并结合全文可知,作者在借用这句话说明当时老师对她的影响,最后作者通过努力打破了这一观念,实现了护士梦。A项实际上含有调侃的意味,更能突出主题。故答案为A。CA scientist turns out to be
38、 able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see.

40、set.Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns.

42、s “character”EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, and how ones ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use.Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now general
43、ly agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了自我控制能力对个人成功的作用,从儿时开始个人的自我控制能力就有了
44、不同,它显示了一个人的情商。在成功的因素中,研究人员现在普遍认为智商约占20%,其余取决于从社会阶层到运气的一切。28Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the passage?_C_ATo make the readers amused.BTo prove the scientists wisdom.CTo introduce the topic of the text.DTo show us how to do an IQ test.解析:推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“A scientist tur
45、ns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.”(科学家通过给四岁左右的孩子每人一块糖,并观察他们如何处理糖的问题,最终能够预知未来。)可知作者在文章开头提到实验是为了引出文章的主题。故选C。29The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that _B_.Athe age of 4 is a proper time for
46、 scientific experimentBthe ability of self-control plays a role in personal successCemotional intelligence wont show up until Teen years.Dcandy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold ou
47、t generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable.”(一项调查发现,那些四岁时有足够的自制力坚持的人一般长大后更受欢迎、富有冒险精神、自信和可靠。)可知四岁儿童的实验表明自我控制能力对个人成功的作用。故选B。30The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means _A_.ApositiveBnegativeCimpatientDfriendly解析:词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的“But brain theory cant
48、explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant person.”(脑理论不能解释我们所困惑的,比如为什么有些人在面对令人沉沦的麻烦时,仍会保持乐观。)由此可知词义为乐观积极。故选A。31From the passage we learn that _D_.AEQ does not have any connection with IQBthe higher a
49、persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ isCbrain theory is able to explain what we wonder about mostDscientists havent discovered the way EQ and IQ work together解析:推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together”可知研究者们一直试图了解他们是如何一起工作的,即科学家们还没有发现情商和智商是如何协同工
