Maybe you know the saying, “When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.” One wise man had a version of this       when he said, “Don't focus on the dust in your brother's eye while       the dirt in your own eye.” Why do we do this? Because criticisms are always        ourselves. When we criticize others, we do not expose them, but expose ourselves. We      our own weakness and smallness.
A story in the old tales       the difference in wisdom between the good and the bad. Once a king        both Nelson and Dick. The king asks Nelson to go out into the kingdom and       after finding someone less qualified than himself. Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.
When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.       Wise Nelson says that he was       to find anyone less qualified than himself on his return.
Moral of the story is something about human      . Good people always look at their own       and faults and consider themselves less qualified than others. Whereas bad people always look at the shortcomings and faults of others and       themselves more qualified than others.

試題分析：“When you point one finger, there are three fingers pointing back to you.”是一句諺語，直譯意思為“當(dāng)你用一根手指指著別人的時(shí)候，還有三根手指指著自己�！蔽覀兛梢砸庾g為“指責(zé)別人的時(shí)候，更得找找自己的不是�！北酒恼戮褪菍�(duì)這句英語用事例進(jìn)行了詮釋。有則小故事有助于你更好地理解：有個(gè)研究生有一次在工作上遭受重大挫折，分別向兩位導(dǎo)師訴苦。他解釋并抱怨說并非自己不努力，也不是遇到了神一般的強(qiáng)大對(duì)手，而是被豬一般的隊(duì)友搞砸了，連累了他。他那說英文的導(dǎo)師用他一貫的睿智和委婉回復(fù)道：“Always remember when you point one finger，there are three fingers pointing back to you.”。而說中文的導(dǎo)師則更加直接一些，說：“小子，你是解釋系主任還是借口院院長(zhǎng)？怎么凈想著找別人的岔，把自己摘干凈？為什么不反思自己哪里做得不夠好呢？！”。
小題1:B problem問題；wisdom智慧，古訓(xùn)；idea主意；action行動(dòng)，行為。本句話的意思講的是對(duì)上述所提的諺語的另一種版本。這兒“wisdom”就是“saying”的同義詞。
小題2:C dropping丟下，落下；holding舉，抓�。籭gnoring忽視，忽略，視而不見；neglecting
漏做，疏忽，忽略。跟上文“focus on”相對(duì)應(yīng)的有兩個(gè)詞“ignoring”和“neglecting”，但是這兩
個(gè)詞有質(zhì)的區(qū)別。前者表示：故意不理睬，故意忽視，而后者則為：漏做，疏忽，忽略，不含“故
意”的意思。根據(jù)語境應(yīng)該選C項(xiàng)為最佳。句意：不要老是盯著兄弟眼中的灰塵不放而忽視你自己
眼中的污垢。
小題3:A  (be) centered on集中注意力于，聚焦于；put up with忍受，容忍，容受，忍得住，將
就；deal with處理，處置；move out遷出，搬出，出發(fā)。此句意思是說：我們?yōu)槭裁匆@么做(不要老是盯著兄弟眼中的灰塵不放而忽視你自己眼中的污垢)？因?yàn)閯e人的評(píng)論/批評(píng)老是盯著咱們那。揭露他人的同時(shí)，也暴露了我們自己。
小題4:C forget忘記；kill抹殺，消磨(時(shí)間)；broadcast廣播，播放，使廣為人知；express表達(dá)。本句是對(duì)上文“expose ourselves”的進(jìn)一步解釋，所以這兒要用“broadcast”與“expose”屬于同一范疇意義的詞。句意：我們使我們自己的弱點(diǎn)和渺小暴露無疑(即讓我們自己的弱點(diǎn)和渺小廣為人知)。
小題5:D cancel取消，注銷，抵消；explain解釋；doubt懷疑；illustrate說明，表明，給……加插圖；(用示例、圖畫等)說明。一則古老傳說中的故事說明了在評(píng)判“好”于“壞”上的差異。下文正是用示例來加以說明的，故用“illustrates”，而不用“explains(解釋)”。
小題6:A meet with偶然遇到，碰到，遭受，和……會(huì)面  ；question about詢問，盤問；worry about
為……而擔(dān)憂/擔(dān)心；looks after照看，照顧。從下文看本句是指：皇帝召見尼爾森和迪克(即與他們會(huì)面)。
小題7:B leave離開；return返回；wait等待；stay待在，呆在。原詞重現(xiàn)。下文“Then he asks Dick to go out into the kingdom and return after finding someone       than himself.”已經(jīng)給出了答案。
小題8:A better更好；faster更快；higher更高；shorter更矮，更短。同義詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。這兒的“better”與上文中的“qualified”為同義詞。下文“When Fool Dick returns, he tells the king that he couldn't find anyone better than himself.”也證實(shí)這個(gè)答案。
小題9:A But但是，表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系；Although雖然，盡管，表示讓步關(guān)系；Moreover再者，此外，而且，表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系；Therefore所以，表示因果關(guān)系。這兒上文“Dick”說的話正好與“Nelson”所說的話相反，故上下文為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
小題10:D happy快樂；quick快捷；disabled殘廢，殘疾；unable不能。因?yàn)樗麄兯f的正好相反，故用“unable”。本段的意思是：愚蠢的迪克返回來告訴皇上他沒有發(fā)現(xiàn)比他更優(yōu)秀的人。但是聰明的尼爾森返回來卻說他沒能發(fā)現(xiàn)比他更差的人。
小題11:D side一邊，一方；life生命，生活；thought思想；psychology心理學(xué)，心理特點(diǎn)，心理狀態(tài)，心理影響。從上文的故事中我們可以看出為什么“迪克”和“尼爾森”的發(fā)現(xiàn)不同，其實(shí)就是人的“心理作用驅(qū)使”而已。
小題12:A shortcomings缺點(diǎn)；excuses 原諒，借口；worries擔(dān)憂，擔(dān)心；advantages優(yōu)點(diǎn)。跟下文“faults”形成并列意義的就是“shortcomings”。優(yōu)秀的人總是看到自己的缺點(diǎn)和錯(cuò)誤，認(rèn)為他們不比別人優(yōu)秀到哪里去。
小題13:A consider認(rèn)為；take(...as)把……當(dāng)作；have(...as)把……當(dāng)作；keep保持。然而差勁的人總是看到別人的缺點(diǎn)和錯(cuò)誤，認(rèn)為他們比別人優(yōu)秀。

Pottery is the name given to all kinds of useful or artistic objects made from clay. Pottery can be plates or water pots or baskets. Pottery can be large or small, fancy or plain. Pottery is part of the large family of ceramics（陶器）.Ceramics are synthetic materials. For example, bricks and tiles (瓦片) are both ceramics.
How is pottery made? First, a potter takes some clay. Clay is a soft, red material from the earth. It looks a little like red dirt, but it's very different. Clay is thick and rich. Wet clay can be worked into any shape. When the clay dries, it will keep that shape. The potters takes some clay and pushes and squeezes（擠壓）it until it is soft and smooth. After that, the clay can be shaped into anything. There are several ways to shape clay. Sometimes potters use their hands. Sometimes they use a special wheel. They place the clay in the center of a round, flat wheel. The wheel moves very fast, and the potter shapes the clay.
After the potter has shaped the clay, it can be decorated(裝飾). Potters use glaze, which is a kind of paint, to decorate their work. Some glazes are very simple. Other glazes have beautiful colors and designs. The glaze is not just beautiful. It is also useful. The glaze makes the pottery smooth and waterproof. Potters also make some decorative lines and designs on the surface. After it is decorated, the clay must be baked, or fired, in a special oven.
Baking the clay at very high temperature makes it hard and strong. Firing also makes the glaze stick to the pottery. When the firing is over, the potter carefully removes the pottery from the oven and lets it cool slowly. If it cools too quickly, it could crack and break.
Since pottery is waterproof, it is very popular for dishes. You can find examples of pottery in almost any home. But pottery can also be found in museums. Some pieces of pottery are valuable and beautiful pieces of art.
小題1:It is possible that ceramics are materials of _______ .
A．metalB．plasticC．woodD．earth
小題2:The word "waterproof" means _______ .
A．能盛水的B．防水的C．溶解于水的D．吸水性強(qiáng)的
小題3:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Plates, water pots and bowls are all examples of pottery.
B．Wet clay can be made into anything of different shapes by the hands or a special wheel.
C．The clay becomes smooth and waterproof because of the glaze.
D．After the firing in high temperature, pottery is easy to break.

The candidate who is longing for election to the highest office in the United States must be native-born American citizen who is at least 35 years old and who has lived in the United States for at least 14 years. The election course is complicated, and the road to the Oval Office is long.
Potential candidates must present papers stating their intention to seek their party’s recommendation; delegates(代表) then choose from among those running some months later at the national conferences. Before that, however, each state holds a primary election that determines how the state’s voters want the party’s delegates to vote. Methods of choosing the delegates vary from state to state. At the conferences, there are speeches and often heated discussions. It may take several rounds of voting before delegates can agree on a candidate. On the final day of the meeting, the presidential candidate announces his or her choice for vice president.
Election Day, by law, is the Tuesday that follows the first Monday in November. On this day, registered voters may cast their votes for president, vice president, and candidates for other federal state, and local offices. The popular vote, however, does not determine who will be president. The president is chosen by a vote of the Electoral College, a group of 538 citizens from the 50 states and the District of Columbia who are chosen to cast votes for the president and vice president.
The rules for choosing electors, as with the delegates, vary. Each state also decides whether its electoral votes must reflect the popular vote. The number of electors in each state is determined by the number of representatives and senators that a state sends to Congress and, therefore, may change every 10 years, depending on the results of the United States census (人口普查). The winner must get at least 270 of the electoral votes when the Electoral College meets in December of the election year. The election results are not official, however, until the following January, when Congress meets in a joint conference to count the electoral votes.
At the end of the road to the Oval Office is the swearing-in ceremony, at which the new or reelected president takes the oath of office on January 20.
小題1:Which of the following is not a requirement for candidates for the presidency of the USA?
A．Minimum age of thirty-five years old.
B．Native of the United States of America.
C．Bottom residency of fourteen years in the State
D．Previous experience in an elective office.
小題2:According to the passage, we can conclude that _______.
A. ways to select the delegates of each state are very much the same in the USA.
B. the candidate who wins the popular vote will be the winner of the election
C. the change of a state’s population barely has effects on the presidential election.
D. the presidents of the United States are theoretically picked by the citizens directly.
小題3:Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．The Various Ways of Presidential Election in the USA
B．The Qualifications for Being the President of the USA
C．The Process of the Election for the President of the USA
D．The Rules for Choosing Presidential Candidates in the USA

Don’t invite crime--take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time --- and this is the one thing a burglar can’t afford. Most thieves are casual opportunists to whom the best deterrents（遏制性因素） are delay and noise which could mean discovery. 
When you leave it, lock it!
First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them! If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away. “Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable - nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.
When you move house...
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change them. You don’t know who else may have keys.
Never let strangers into your house. An official - looking cap is not enough, ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully - if you are still not satisfied, don’t let the person in.
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection - preferably by leaving them with your bank. A small security safe works too, but not to the most determined burglar. It is also important to keep an up - to - date list of valuables and their descriptions. In the case of fine art, paintings, or jewelry, color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen. Enter the details on the back of the pictures. But don’t keep such documents in your house, keep them at the hank or with your insurance company.
Going on holiday?
Don’t talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public. Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back.
Operate a “Good Neighbor” program to ensure that mail is taken in, the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on.
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away. Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble.
Don’t leave cash or valuables in the house—take them with you or put them in the bank．
小題1:How should you deal with your ladders or tools?
A．You should leave them in the yard．
B．You should put them in the safe place and lock the door．
C．You should lean them against the tree in the yard．
D．You should take them apart．
小題2:When moving into a new house，you are supposed to_______．
A．stop using the original lock
B．buy a safe
C．never let officials into your house unless he wears an official cap
D．stay away from strangers
小題3:In case of your jewelry being stolen，you should do the following Except__________．
A．taking a color photo of it
B．keep them at the bank
C．keep the picture in your house
D．keep them with your insurance company
小題4:When you are away for holidays，you_________．
A．should cancel your mail
B．shouldn’t leave your keys to your neighbors

Ball Management
Players should always keep a tennis ball in their hand or pocket during a match. Even the most patient tennis players despise waiting for their opponent to find a ball to serve(發(fā)球).
Behavior & Attitude
Even if you’re playing badly, you should not shout or look depressed in a friendly match. Undoubtedly, your attitude affects how you play, so try to have fun and stay positive.
Pace
Do not deliberately slow the game down. Play at the pace of the server and look ready. Servers also should not rush to start each point. You should re-do the point if you serve the ball before the receiver is ready. The receiver is out of luck, however, if he claims he was not ready after making an attempt at returning the serve.
For Spetators(觀眾)
Cheering
While it is seen as proper etiquette(禮儀）to remain silent during the live play, loud and spirited cheers are welcome after a hard-earned point. The players appreciate the recognition for their efforts and are encouraged to continue playing at a high level when the crowd is actively involved.
Leaving and returning to your seat
During live play it’s expected that all spectators will remain seated until the next break between games. Movements in the stands(看臺(tái)) can serve as a distraction(分心的事物) to the players and can also block the view of other audience.
Photography
The issue of camera shutter(快門) noise has earned a lot of attention in golf, but luckily for tennis fans it’s much less of a concern on the court. While the noise produced by the camera is not seen as a major issue, flash photography should be avoided during live play.
小題1:During warm-ups, tennis player ______________.
A．ought to hit a full pace
B．can place their shots anywhere
C．should not practice competitively
D．had better run around the whole court
小題2:According to the text, during tennis matches, _____________________.
A．players can slow the game down when tired
B．players don’t have to keep a ball in their hand
C．the receiver shouldn’t return the serve if not ready
D．loud cheers are not allowed even after hard-earned points
小題3:It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________________.
A．flash photography is acceptable on the golf court
B．tennis fans can use flash photography during matches
C．the noise from cameras is not permitted in tennis matches
D．tennis matches require a less degree of quiet than golf ones
小題4:What’s the text mainly about?
A．Some tips for tennis players to win a match.
B．What to do while watching tennis matches.

Recently, we went on a vacation for a week that involved visiting four different ports in the sunny and warm climate of the Caribbean. There were         of laughter, fun and great food. It’s a        thing when you go away that each day of the vacation also        to the end and a return to work.
It was twelve years since we went on a vacation, so this vacation was viewed with        of a great break away from my daily routine. And we weren’t        .
But there was something very different about this vacation compared to those when we worked in a corporative environment. The main       was that when we returned, when the vacation was rapidly drawing to a close, we didn’t have the same feeling of     stress, anxiety and fear.
In this recent vacation, it wasn’t that we        enjoyed the various fun and new activities, the break away from routine, the pleasure of touring different countries and cultures, the         to do what we wanted when we wanted or the leisurely      of each day that was significant. What was significant was that we didn’t       fear the last day of vacation. You see, we know that we were        what we love to do not what we had to do.
The feelings experienced in the last couple of days of vacation were viewed with the same joy as the very first days. In the previous times, the last days of vacation were terrible. We experience an increasing        of stress      we knew that a return to our field of employment was “work” and not        that we loved and thoroughly enjoyed.
The        is this: If you do what you love, it doesn’t matter       that a vacation has to end. If you love what you do you will not        yourself wishing for even a few more days of vacation, or wishing that you could      enjoying this vacation for much, much longer. A love of what you do        you back like a magnet.
