Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren’t just important to us, they make the world what it is.
Scientists say that the gravity makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes  it  go around. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it’s there.
Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster or a school fund raiser, one thing is certain--- it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it’s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, generosity is not something you need any qualifications（資格）for, and no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing a novel, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists discover cures for illnesses, and athletes become winners. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that’s one less to make the next time.
There is an infinite(無(wú)限的) number of things we value. But without love, generosity, and perseverance, we just don’t think that our lives or the world would be the way it is.
小題1:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph means         .
A．the worldB．the gravityC．the valueD．the experience
小題2:To be generous, the writer thinks       .
A．you needn’t make effort
B．you should be qualified(有資格的)
C．you should give all you have
D．you find it meaningful whatever you do
小題3:The meaning of the word “perseverance” is       .
A．財(cái)富B．體力C．毅力D．機(jī)遇
小題4:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Perseverance is the only thing to help us achieve success.
B．People don’t understand life they experience at all.
C．Helping others is always better than receiving help.
D．What the world is like depends on the gravity and love.
小題5:The best title for the passage may be       .
A．Success and failureB．Three valuesC．Endless loveD．Hard life

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:C
小題5:B

試題分析：這篇文章給我們講述了三個(gè)非常好的價(jià)值觀，關(guān)愛(ài)，慷慨，毅力，它們不僅對(duì)我們非常重要，而且也產(chǎn)生了我們現(xiàn)在的世界。
小題1:推斷題。根據(jù)文章Scientists say that the gravity makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes it go around.科學(xué)家說(shuō)地球引力使世界在轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)，但是一些人說(shuō)是愛(ài)使世界在轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)�？芍�，it指代的是地球。故選A
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第三段可知，為了變得慷慨，我們并不需要具有任何資格，不論你做什么，大的事情，還是小的事情，它都是有意義的。故選D
小題3:推斷題。根據(jù)文章Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.有時(shí)候，變得慷慨需要作出一些努力，這使我們變得有毅力。perseverance的意思是毅力。故選C
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章可知，毅力不是唯一促使我們成功的原因，給予總是比接受要好的多，世界必須要有愛(ài)，慷慨和毅力。故選C
小題5:主旨題。這篇文章給我們講述了三個(gè)非常的價(jià)值觀，關(guān)愛(ài)，慷慨，毅力，它們不僅對(duì)我們非常重要，而且也產(chǎn)生了我們現(xiàn)在的世界。故選B
點(diǎn)評(píng)：議論文的作答，重在理解作者的感情色彩，作者所持有的觀點(diǎn)。本文的作答首先對(duì)文章的大致意思進(jìn)行了解。對(duì)于細(xì)節(jié)題，學(xué)生在理解全文的基礎(chǔ)上要對(duì)題目中關(guān)鍵字在文章中迅速定位，找到相對(duì)應(yīng)的出處，答題比較問(wèn)題中的陳述與原意的區(qū)別細(xì)心作答。

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷倉(cāng)), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(擠)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was silent and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!"
A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it meaningful.
A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠誠(chéng)) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
小題1:Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because_______.
A．one was trying to help the blind oneB．one was biting the other
C．the mouth of the hole was too smallD．they were not afraid of smoke
小題2:Why did they lower their heads in shyness according to the passage?
A. Because they did not dare to answer.
B. Because they regretted(后悔)driving a poor blind mouse away.
C. Because they had mistaken the relationship of the mice.
D, Because they did not express themselves much better.
小題3:It is clear that_______.
A．a(chǎn)ll the mice came out of the hole easily
B．each of the people understood the relationship differently
C．the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D．the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight
小題4:The best title for the passage is_______.
A．Two lovely miceB．Help produces loveC．Love is allD．Friends in need
