One morning, in addition to his 　1　 lunch bag, Molly handed him a second one. “Why two bags, and what’s in it?” he asked. Molly answered, “Just take it with you.” He stuffed 　2　 bags into his briefcase(公文包), kissed Molly and rushed off. ‎ At midday, he tore open Molly’s bag and shook out the　3　: two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny seashell, a small doll and 13 pennies. Fulghum smiled, finished 　4　 and swept the desk clean—into the wastebasket—leftover(残余的) lunch, Molly’s junk, and all. ‎ That evening, Molly ran up behind him 　5　 he was reading the paper. “Where’s my bag?” “I 　6　 it at the office. Why?” “I forgot to put this 　‎7　 in it,” Molly said. “And, besides, those are my things, Daddy, the ones I really like—I thought you might like to 　8　 them. You didn’t 　9　 them, did you, Daddy?” “Oh, no,” he said. He unfolded the note that hadn’t been put into the bag: “I love you, Daddy.”  ‎ Molly had given him her 　10　, all that a seven-year-old held dear. It was love that was in the paper bag, but he had missed it, and had even 　11　 it in the wastebasket. So, back he went to the 　12　. He picked up the wastebasket and 　13　 the contents on his desk. After washing dirt off 　14　, he carefully smoothed out the brown paper bag, put the treasures inside and carried it home. The bag didn’t ‎ look so good, but the stuff was all there and that was what 　15　. ‎ After dinner, he asked Molly to 　16　 him about the stuff in the bag. Everything had a story or a memory. “Sometimes I think of all the 　‎17　 in this sweet life,” Fulghum 　18　 the story, “when I must have missed the love I was being given.” We should all remember that it’s not the 　19　 that counts in life—it’s the journey, which, with the people we love, is all that 　20　 matters. Such a simple truth is so easily forgotten. ‎ ‎(　　)1. A. special B. normal C. same D. usual ‎(　　)2. A. both B. other C. some D. certain ‎(　　)3. A. toys B. contents C. matters D. products ‎(　　)4.

After majoring in industrial and commercial administration, Wang served as the assistant to the village head of Ertiaojie Village in suburban Beijing’s Pinggu District. For one ‎ project, Wang contacted people at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural Sciences and arranged for the local farmers to receive training in strawberry planting. Her efforts paid off. The village had a plentiful harvest of organic strawberries earlier this year.‎ Nationwide, about 150,000 university graduates found employment in rural areas last year, according to figures provided by the Ministry of Education.‎ The ministry predicts that 4.95 million students will graduate from universities across the country this year, 820,000 more than last year. About 1.4 million of them are unlikely to find jobs when they graduate.‎ In Beijing, a record 200,000 people are expected to graduate from university this year. Less than half of them are expected to be offered jobs, according to the personnel bureau.‎ ‎(　　)21. The underlined word “recruit” in the first paragraph probably means “　　　　”. ‎ A. employ B. force C. encourage 　　D. train ‎(　　)22. We can see from the passage that　　　　. ‎ A. once you are hired as a junior official, you can get an endlessly rising salary B. the government guarantee a gradually high salary for the successful candidates C. working as junior officials is easy but very meaningful D. the competition for the job as junior officials is very fierce ‎(　　)23. From the story of Wang Lina we can learn that 　　　　. ‎ A. the sooner you go to the countryside, the sooner you will be successful B. local farmers can get big harvests if they get more knowledge C. university graduates can also realize their value in rural areas D. Wang had great difficulty in helping villagers planting organic strawberries ‎(　　)24. The last two paragraphs aim to tell us that 　　　　. ‎ A. more and more graduates will work as junior officials B. the universities should not have so many students C. there are more and more graduates in recent years D. it is not easy for graduates to find jobs nowadays ‎(　　)25. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?‎ A. What Is the Best Career?‎ B. Graduates Go to the Countryside C. Job Hunting for University Graduates D. A Good Choice for University Graduates B Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on the past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect(麦克白效应)”.‎ It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands.‎ A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn’t cleaned.‎ This finding interested W.S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.‎ He decided to test hand washing’s effect on one kind of bad feeling: the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking ‎ one choice makes us feel that we’ve lost the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating(夸大) the positive aspects of their choice.‎ He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students two of the CDs and told them to select one as a gift. Some students then used liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed(闻) it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.‎ Later, the students again had to rank all the music CDs. People who didn’t wash their hands had the normal response—they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as an even more attractive one than before. But this wasn’t true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “They feel no need at all to justify(证明……正确) the choice,” says Lee.‎ But the effects of it just aren’t clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if they don’t go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.‎ ‎(　　)26. “The Macbeth effect” refers to the fact that 　　　　. ‎ A. Lady Macbeth had a habit of washing hands B. people feel less ashamed after washing their hands C. Macbeth knew about the importance of cleaning hands D. Shakespeare used to wash his hands before writing Macbeth ‎(　　)27. In Lee’s experiment, those who didn’t wash their hands after making a choice 　　　　. ‎ A. valued their choice more than before B. felt regretful about their choice C. wished they had washed their hands D. didn’t care about their choice ‎(　　)28. According to Lee, those hand washers consider justifying their choice 　　　　. ‎ A. scientific 　　B. useful C. unnecessary D. convincing ‎(　　)29. What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?‎ A. Washing hands is a habit in our daily life.‎ B. Washing hands is to keep hands clean.‎ C. Washing hands will help you make a better choice.‎ D. Washing hands can reduce the stress of decision.‎ 三、 任务型阅读 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。‎ 注意:每个空格只填1个单词。‎ Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others’ benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we don’t try to control them.‎ Ambition, however, can have several defects.‎ First of all it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgment. But what a waste of ‎ time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!‎ Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim, such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We lack the breadth of view necessary for success in higher studies.‎ Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.‎ Fourthly, our ambition may be self-centered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.‎ Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals—necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities.‎ Title: Ambition Merit With an ambition in our heart, we’re always trying our best to use our talent to (30)　　　　 ourselves, thus (31)　　　　 ourselves and others. ‎ Imperfection ‎• Unrealistic ambition may (32)　　　　 us from seeing the limits ‎ of our own abilities. ‎ ‎• We devote our attention to one narrow aim, and we lack the breadth of view which is a (33)　　　　 for (34)　　　　 success. ‎ ‎• Our ambition can be limited to lifeless aims, which lead us to the way to build up our (35)　　　　 through possessions of artificial signs of worth. ‎ ‎• Our ambition may make us among those (36)　　　　 people who gain their interests by sacrificing (37)　　　　. ‎ ‎(38)　　　 ‎ Ambition is a good servant but a bad (39)　　　　. Therefore, we must try to direct it in a proper way. ‎ 限时精练四 ‎45分钟综合性过关小练习(一)‎ 一、 完形填空 本文是一篇记叙文。早上给爸爸递午餐袋是莫莉每天的工作。一天，她给了爸爸两个袋子，其中一个装满了自己心爱的东西，以为爸爸也一定会非常喜欢。但是爸爸却把它和剩饭一起丢到了废纸篓里。还好爸爸及时采取了措施，才没有让遗憾发生。‎ ‎1.
