21Whydidtheboystarthisjobyoung?A.Hewantedtobefamousinthefuture.B.Thejobwasquiteeasyforhim.C.Hismotherhadhighhopesforhim.D.Thepetitionforthejobwasfierce.答案:C解析:由第一段中的“Shewantedmeto‘makesomething’ofmyself,anddecidedIhadbetterstartyoungifIwastohaveanychanceofkeepingupwiththepetition.”可知,作者年幼时就开始工作是因为母亲对他的期望甚高。22Fromthedialoguebetweentheboyandhismother,welearnthatthemotherwas.

A.excited B.interestedC.ashamed D.disappointed答案:D解析:从对话我们得知,作者只是站在觉得显眼的街角,但没卖出去一份报纸。这与母亲的期望甚远,她自然会感到“失望”(disappointed)。23Whatdidthemotherdowhentheboywantedtogiveup?A.Sheforcedhimtocontinue.B.Shepunishedhim.C.Shegavehimsomemoney.D.Shechangedherplan.答案:A解析:由倒数第二段可知,当“我”想要放弃的时候,母亲会责骂“我”,用言语来刺激“我”,促使我继续去卖报纸。24Whatdoestheunderlinedphrase“thisbattle”(thelastparagraph)referto?A.Thewarbetweentheboy’sparents.B.Thearguingbetweentheboyandhismother.C.Thequarrelbetweentheboyandhiscustomers.D.Thefightbetweentheboyandhisfather.答案:B解析:thisbattle指的是上一段提到的“只要我打退堂鼓,母亲就会责骂我”一事,与之最接近的表达为B项。BAdvertisingisthekeytothesuccessofanybusiness.Toensurealongandlastingsuccess,abusinessmustadvertiseinsomeway.Ithasbeensaidthatthebestformofadvertisingiswordofmouthadvertising.It’sfreeandmostpeoplebelieveit.Usually,wordofmouthadvertisingesfromsatisfiedcustomersthatwishtosharetheirexperiencewiththeirfriends,familyandcoworkersaboutaproduct,andinturnnewcustomersetothebusiness.Whilewordofmouthisawonderfulandfreewaytoadvertise,itisn’tthe“beallendall”ofadvertising.Advertisingontelevision,theradio,andprintingisstillaveryeffectiveadvertisingmethod,butthemethodisquiteexpensiveandnotsuitableforthesmallbusinesses.Amoreeconomicalbuteffectivewayistoadvertiseonline.TheInternetissuchanimportantpartofdailylifethatitishardnottoadvertiseonit.Thenumberofwaystoadvertiseonlineisendless.Thereareseveraltypesofemailmarketingcampaigns,likelinkadvertisingandwebsites.Now,emailmarketingcampaignsaremorepopularthantraditionalpostalmailmarketing,whichisslowandineffective.Manybusinessownersusestrategicnetworkingtoadvertisetheirbusinesses.It’sawayforbusinessownerstomeeteachother,getthewordoutabouttheirpanies,andeventoenlargetheirbusinessfields.Onenewkindofsuccessfuladvertisingisthroughsocialnetworking.It’smuchlikestrategicnetworkinginthatit’susuallyfreeanddonebymeetinganddiscussingproducts.However,socialnetworkingisdonethroughmodernmedia,suchaswebsites,blogs,andtheInternet.Bothofthemarehighlyeffective.Whichevermethodofadvertisingisused,abusinessmustuselongtimeadvertisingcampaignstokeepitselfsuccessful.25Unlikeadvertisingontelevision,theradio,andprintmedia,wordofmouthadvertisingis.

B.Theirlivingconditions.C.Thespiritualstimulation. D.Theirpersonalambitions.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第二部分中的“...whatseemstohavemoreofaneffectisthechaoticenvironmentsthatmanylowinekidsgrowupin.”可知,保罗·图赫认为生活环境对贫穷孩子的影响更大。31Whatdoestheunderlinedword“devastating”inthetextmean?A.Important. B.Beneficial.C.Harmful. D.Unfair.答案C解析词义猜测题。根据第三部分中的“Idon’tthinkit’squitetruethatfailureitselfhelpsussucceed.Infact...”可推测,保罗·图赫认为失败本身并不能帮助我们成功。实际上,反复的失败对孩子的成长“有害”。32Afterwritingthebook,PaulTough.

A.regardschildhoodasaraceB.hasimprovedhiswritingabilityC.ismoreworriedabouthisson’slessonsD.paysmoreattentiontohisson’spersonality答案D解析细节理解题。根据最后一部分中的“...whatI’mmoreconcernedaboutishischaracter.”可知,保罗·图赫现在更加关注孩子的性格培养。DThinkaboutthedifferentwaysthatpeopleusewind.Youcanuseittoflyakiteortosailaboat.Windisoneofourcleanestandrichestpowersources,aswellasoneoftheoldest.Evidenceshowsthatwindmills(风车)begantobeusedinancientIranbackintheseventhcenturyAD.TheywerefirstintroducedtoEuropeduringthe1100s,whenarmiesreturnedfromtheMiddleEastwithknowledgeofusingwindpower.Formanycenturies,peopleusedwindmillstogrind(磨碎)wheatintoflourorpumpwaterfromdeepunderground.Whenelectricitywasdiscoveredinthelate1800s,peoplelivinginremote(偏僻的)areasbegantousewindmillstoproduceelectricity.Thisallowedthemtohaveelectriclightsandradio.However,bythe1940swhenelectricitywasavailabletopeopleinalmostalltheareasoftheUnitedStates,windmillswererarelyused.Duringthe1970s,peoplestartedbeingconcernedaboutthepollutionthatiscreatedwhencoalandgasareburnedtoproduceelectricity.Peoplealsorealizedthatthesupplyofcoalandgaswouldnotlastforever.Then,windwasrediscovered,thoughitmeanshighcosts.Today,thereisaglobalmovementtosupplymoreandmoreofourelectricitythroughtheuseofwind.33Fromthetextweknowthatwindmills.
