What most of us dont know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day.Lincoln learned to tell jo

11、kes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury (陪審團(tuán)), and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincolns stories were irrelevant and distracting (轉(zhuǎn)移、分心) to the jury. The trouble for them was

12、 that Judge David Davis loved Lincolns jokes more than anyone else in the court room.As a politician, Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen ADouglas complained that “Nothing else not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions dis

13、turbs me. But when he begins to tell a story, I feel that I am to be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincolns saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story.As the responsibilities of the

14、 office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used humor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincolns neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “Whats the matter, Mr. Lincoln?” the neighbor a

15、sked. “The same thing thats the matter with the whole world,” Lincoln answered. “I have three walnuts, and each one of them wants two of them.”O(jiān)ne cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience

16、and relieving the pressure he experienced as President during the terrible Civil War.1、When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?AHe wanted to satisfy the judges desire for jokes.BHe wanted to distract his opposing lawyer.CHe wanted to relieve his pressure.DHe want

17、ed to impress the jury.2、What might be Douglas attitude towards Lincolns humorous stories?AAppreciative. BAnnoyed.CConcerned. DSurprised.3、Whats the purpose of the text?ATo educate. BTo inform.CTo persuade. DTo entertain.22（8分）The tornado came without any signthe sky was blue and the sun had been ou

18、t. The first alert my husband, Jimmy, 67, and I, 65, got came around 9 p.m., from some scrolling text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel to our local Pensacola, Florida, station.No sooner had we found coverage of the tornad

19、o than it was on top of us. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. Pink insulation（絕緣材料） flew into the room from a trapdoor to the attic, and the wind began to roar through the house. We had three flights of steps to navigate to get to the relative safety of the first floor. Because t

20、he closet down there is wedged （塞進(jìn)） underneath a brick staircase, it seemed like the sturdiest(堅(jiān)固的) place in our town house to wait things out.I didnt know how or if we would make it down the steps. It felt as if there were no floor underneath me as the wind lifted me off my feet. I gripped the bani

21、ster(樓梯扶手) and tried to move forward, but this intense pressure held me in place. In those seconds of stillness, I could hear everything around me rattling.As we reached the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Shards of glass that looked like broken ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-

22、foot-long tree branch whipped through the doorframe. It flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us. The back wall of the house followed suit and tore off into the darkness outside.Instantly I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet flo

23、or, but he couldnt get inside himself because of the wind. I gripped Jimmys arm as the tornado sucked the door open and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and scalp were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out and into the bay. “Hold o

24、n! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldnt believe it was over. Jim

25、my said hed go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Dont leave me.”O(jiān)ur neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.

26、1、Paragraph 24 mainly tell us_.Athe tornado was on top of usBthe tornado caused great damageCthe coverage of the tornado became a realityDthe tornado was so strong that it lifted the author off her feet2、The underlined words “this intense pressure” in Paragraph 3 refer to_.Athe authors nervousness a

29、m23（8分） Have you ever thought that your life will be perfect if something in your outside world changes? You may say, “I will live happily if I find my soul mate.” You may say, “If the perfect job comes along, I will get satisfaction. My problem is that my boss is stupid.” Or you may say, “If I have

30、 a child, I will know what it is like to be loved.” The problem is that it is not the outside world that prevents you from experiencing peace, love and joy. Instead, it is your own internal (內(nèi)部的) patterns that get in your way.To prove this point, at my weekend programs, I had my students look at a f

31、lower on my table. Then I asked them to share their experiences. Some showed a state of complete joy because staring at the flower reminded them of their wedding or a great trip with their lovers. Others said the flower made them angry because it reminded them of a gift given by a former partner who

32、 turned against them. Some students even told me that the flower reminded them of their beloved grandmothers gardens with some shedding tears (流淚)of joy and others shedding tears of sadness. However, the flower was still just a flower.Our internal patterns decide whether each moment is filled with p

33、eace, anger, joy, love or sadness. When you dont realize that it is your own internal state that is creating your experience, you are likely to blame (責(zé)備)the external situations in your life. Most people arent taught that emotion is a choice. And they arent taught how to change those lower emotional

34、 patterns such as anger, anxiety, sadness and so on. Next time, when you meet something bad, please look at your internal state. When you accept that you are responsible for your own state, and find the courage to turn inward, you can step out of being a slave to what shows up in your external world

35、.1、Why does the author mention the examples in Paragraph 1 ?ATo lead to the topic of this passage.BTo complain about imperfect life.CTo show common problems in life.DTo encourage people to change the outside world.2、How does the author prove his opinion?ABy giving examples.BBy doing an experiment.CB

36、y telling a related story.DBy comparing other peoples opinions.3、What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?ATo step out of negative emotions.BTo pay attention to our internal world.CTo share our real emotions with others.DTo use different methods to change bad emotions.4、What does t

37、he author want to express through the passage?AOur external world matters a lot.BOur emotions can affect our health.COur internal patterns truly decide our emotions.DOur experiences have a great influence on our emotions.24（8分）Suppose you work in a big firm and find English very important for your j

47、and understand. And anyone who has tried to learn to play the violin or other instruments can report similar challenges.Now researchers have found that people with musical training have an easier time learning Chinese. Writing in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience，researchers from Northwester

48、n University say that both skills draw on the same parts of the brain that help people discover changes in pitch(音調(diào)).One of the studys authors，Nina Kraus，said the findings suggested that studying music “actually tunes our sensory system”.This means that schools that want children to do well in langu

49、ages should hesitate before cutting music programs，Dr. Kraus said. She said music training might also help children with language problems.Mandarin(普通話)speakers have been shown to have a more complex encoding(編碼) of pitch patterns in their brains than English speakers do. This is because in Mandarin

50、 and other Asian languages，pitch plays a central role. A singlesyllable word can have several meanings depending on how it is intoned.For this study，the researchers looked at 20 nonChinese speaking volunteers，half with no musical background and half who have studied an instrument for at least six ye

51、ars.As they were shown a movie，the volunteers also heard an audio tape of the Mandarin word “mi” in three of its meanings:squint，bewilder and rice. The researchers recorded activities in their brain stems to see how well they were processing the sounds. Those with a music background showed much more

52、 brain activities in response to the Chinese sounds.The lead author of the study，Patrick CM.Wong，said it might work both ways. It appears that native speakers of tonal languages may do better at learning instruments.1、When learning Chinese，a foreigner will find _.Ahe has a difficult time learning mu

53、sic at the same timeBhe has an easier time learning music at the same timeCit is hard to master the tones required to speak and understandDit is easy to use the brain to help him discover changes in pitch2、Why does Chinese learning have something to do with music training?ABecause there is the same

54、difficulty in learning Chinese and music.BBecause skills to learn the two make use of the same parts of the brain.CBecause music training might help people with language study.DBecause people who do well in Chinese study do well in music.3、The underlined word “intoned” in the fourth paragraph can be

Obviously, I would be late for 1 up the children, and the babysitter would be unhappy. Nothing had gone 2 all daymy car broke down

57、 on my way to work this morning; the secretarys 3 threw the whole office out of order. And this traffic jam seemed the perfect ending to this 4 day.All I wanted was to get home and took a hot shower, 5 some peace and quiet. But I knew the endless 6 was waiting for me: supper to be done, messy room t

58、o be cleaned, clothes to be washed.I sighed loudly, though there was no one to 7 . Surely there was more to living than this. I guess I was simply too busy and too 8 to look for it.And then I saw him.The lone flagman was standing in the middle of the street, hardly 9 but for his bright orange vest,

59、10 directing four lanes of traffic merge into one. But there was something 11 about this flagman, and as my car approached, I realized what it was.Standing among dozens of impatient motorists 12 every icy mud splashed on him, he was 13 . And at every driver that passed, he not only smiled, he waved.

60、 As I sat waiting my turn in my warm, dry car, I began to feel 14 . If this man, who did nothing all day 15 watch one car after another go by, could stand in the cold rain hour after boring hour and still have a friendly 16 for every single person who passed, what right did I have to 17 about my lif
