bone.he came through several operations”可知，tom 病得很厉害。27d推理判断题。由第四段的“and tom, with the strength of his fantasy，successfully made it through the operation.”可以看出，tom的妈妈答应儿子的要求，就是想帮儿子减少手术的痛苦感。其他选项可以这样排除：由第三段的“she had avoided buying the expensive costume(戏装)，but finally she agreed.”可以看出a和b错误；c项可以由常识排除。28b 细节理解题。由第四段的“the next day tom appeared as the powerful superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way.”可知当时他的行为和超人一样。故选b。29c 推理判断题。这是对前面所讲述的故事的升华，故事中小tom用自己的想象力战胜了痛苦，作者在这里也建议我们面对困难时要“need to become to win over your challenge and do it in your mind first.”还要“let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.”由此可见，c项符合题意。30d 写作目的题。文章开篇点题：imagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear.告诉我们想象力的重要性，然后通过一个具体的例子加以论证。最后一段中作者又鼓励我们在挑战和困难面前使用想象力，使自己内心强大起来，故选d。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、和d）中，选出最佳选项。aafter more than a year of bitter political debate, president obama sat down in the white house east room on march 23 and signed the 2010 patient protection and affordable care act into law with a pen，and then another pen，and another. obama used 22 pens to sign the $938 billion health care bill. the practice of using different pens to sign important legislation（法规）dates at least as far back as franklin roosevelt. the reason is fairly simple. the pen used to sign historic legislation itself becomes a historical artifact. the more pens a president uses, the more thank-you gifts he can offer to those who helped create that piece of history. the white house often give pens to supporters of the newly signed legislation. when lyndon johnson signed the civil rights act in 1964, he reportedly used more than 75 pens and gave one of the first ones to martin luther king jr. and in 1996, president clinton gave the four pens he used to sign the line-item veto bill to those most likely to appreciate the bills consequence. once theyre given away, some pens end up in museums; others are displayed proudly in recipients(接受者) offices or homes. but they sometimes appear again, like in the 2008 presidential campaign（竞选活动）, when john macain promised to use the same pen given to him by president reagan to cut pork from the federal budget. not every president goes for the multipen signature, however. president george w. bush preferred signing bills with only one pen and then offering several unused gift pens as souvenirs. 1.we can learn from paragraph 1 that the 2010 patient protection and affordable care act . a. has been passed easilyb. was put forward one year agoc. becomes law in the usad. is unimportant2. how are the pens dealt with after being used by president obama?a. supporters of the newly signed legislation are likely to get some of them.b. obama will keep them.c. they will be just set asided. they will be sold to the public at a high price. 3.what can we learn about john macain?a. he was ever president in the usa.b. he took part in the 2008 presidential campaign.c. he never used the pen given by reagan.d. he was only concerned about his own business. 4.what does this passage mainly tell us ?a. obama signed the 2010 patient protection and affordable care act. b. it is a practice to use multiple pens to sign important legislation in the usa. c. pens are necessary in the signature.d. all the presidents like the multipen signature. 1-4 cabb *结束 do you know the cold?everybody knows what happens when you catch a cold. first you sniffle(抽鼻涕) or get a more throat. then you sneeze. after coughing and blowing your way through the next few days its over-until next timedo you know what causes a cold, how it is spread or how to help prevent it? and which of the many medicines is best for your cold?there is no known cure for the common cold. once you catch a cold, your body usually produces antibodies(抗体) to the virus which caused the cold. these antibodies help the body develop resistance（抵抗力) to the virus if you catch it again. unfortunately, over 200 different viruses cause the common cold. these viruses may change over time, so your resistance to them reduces. the large number of viruses and the fact that they change help explain why there is no cure for the common cold and why you will suffer colds in the future.the colds increase in winter(usually between septenber and march) but not because of the cold! cold weather has not been shown to increase the number of colds. people spend more time indoors in winter. they are therefore more likely to come into physical contact with each other and spread the disease. all these ideas remain to be proven. no one has been able to discover what really causes these coldscommon colds are spread by sneezes or by direct contact with a cold sufferer, usually when two people hands touch or an object is passed from one person to another. sneezing spreads colds when someone sneezes near other people, or sneezes on objects which others later touch. a cold virus can survive up to three hours on hard surfaces.the simplest and most effective way to lower the risk of catching a cold is to wash your hands frequently. another important step in cold prevention is for cold sufferers to get rid of used tissues immediately after use.5.from the passage, we can know_.a. a cold virus can survive up to four hours b. most of people know how to cure a cold c. there are more colds in november than in may d. all of us catch more than one cold a year6.according to the passage, people tend to catch a cold_.a. because they dont take exercise in winter b.if they stay outdoors in freezinf cold winterc. if they stay indoors more often in winter d.because the viruses of colds usually exist in winter7.we can know colds sre spread through_.a. air and touching b. coughs and objects c.two people d. a person and his hands 57、cca *结束c72013广东卷 bsome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family，and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck.im not going to say luck，talent，and circumstances dont come into play because they do.some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence，and thats just the reality of how life is.however，to succeed in life，one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical.and，in addition to that，in order to get really good at something，one needs to spend at least 10，000 hours studying and practising.to become great at certain things，itll require even more time，time that most people wont put in.this is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. if you dont enjoy what you do，it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.when you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success，you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost.its sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent，but thinking that way does you no good，and theres a huge chance that youre wrong anyway.whatever you do，if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out，almost to the point of addiction，and over a long period of time.if youre not willing to put in the time and work，dont expect to receive any rewards.consistent, hard work wont guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.31paragraph 1 mainly talks about _athe reasons for successbthe meaning of successcthe standards of successdthe importance of success32in paragraph 2，the underlined word that refers to _abeing good at somethingbsetting a practical
