I met this woman and her husband in the dining car while I was traveling from New York to my farm in Missouri.This couple told me that their son had joined the armed forces the day after Pearl Harbour.The woman told me that she had almost mined her health worrying over that only son.Where was he? Was he safe? Or in action? Would he be wounded? Killed?When I asked her how she overcame her worry, she replied: “I got busy.” She told me that at first she had dismissed her maid and tried to keep busy by doing all her housework herself.But that didnt help much.“The trouble was，” she said, “that I could do my housework almost mechanically.So I kept on worrying.While making the beds and washing the dishes, I realized I needed some new kind of work that would keep me busy both mentally and physically.So I took a job as a saleswoman in a store.”“That did it，” she said.“I immediately found myself in a lot of activities: customers crowding around me, asking for prices, sizes, colors.Never a second to think of anything except my immediate duty；and when night came, I could think of nothing except getting off my aching feet.As soon as I ate dinner, I fell into bed and instantly became unconscious.I had neither the time nor the energy to worry.”【语篇导读】本文是记叙文。治愈焦虑的最佳方法是积极投入工作，保持繁忙，一位家庭妇女的亲身经历证明了这一点。4.

She had to work to support her family.BShe enjoyed being surrounded by people.CShe wanted being to make her life more colorful.DShe needed a more effective way to defeat her worry.【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“I needed some new kind of work that would keep me busy both mentally and physically.So I took a job as a saleswoman in a store.”可知，这位妇女选择去做售货员是因为让脑力和体力都忙碌的工作是战胜焦虑的有效方法。【答案】D7After a days work as a saleswoman, the woman _.Aseemed quite disappointedBfell into unconsciousnessCfelt extremely tiredDlost her appetite【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“I fell into bed and instantly became unconscious.I had neither the

them.Now the website BookCrossing.com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share.BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book.Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing，says，“The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read.BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.Emails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟)The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirtyfive countries.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个图书漂流的网站，该网站鼓励人们拿出自己的图书与他人分享，如今超过135个国家的一百多万人成为该网站的会员。8Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?ATo explain what they are.BTo introduce BookCrossing.CTo stress the importance of reading.DTo encourage readers to share their ideas.【解析】推理判断题。由题干定位到第一段，该段首先说阅读是一种社会性的活动，然后谈到读书小组(book groups)，接下来说到BookCrossing这个网站，说该网站给传统的读书小组翻开了新的一页(turns the page on)，然后逐段介绍这个网站的做法，由此推断，介绍读书小组的目的是引出这个网站，因此选B项。A项“解释它们的含义”，C项“强调阅读的重要性”，D项“鼓励读者分享他们的观点”，均不是作者提到读书小组的目的，可排除。【答案】B9What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AThe book.BAn adventure.CA public place.DThe identification number.【解析】词义猜测题。画线词在第二段，该段详细介绍这个网站的具体做法：会员去网站登记自己愿意分享的书，网站给这本书一个身份编号并贴在书中，主人把书留在公共场所，希望这本书会跟“找到它的每个新读者”一起旅行。由此可知代词it指前文提到的the book。B项“一次冒险”，C项“一处公共场所”，D项“身份编号”，均不是it所指的内容。【答案】A10What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?AMeet other readers to discuss it.BKeep it safe in his bookcase.CPass it on to another reader.DMail it back to its owner.【解析】推理判断题。从题干中的after reading it判断答案在第四段。该段说，人们在看完一本书之后就把书留在公园的长凳、公共汽车、火车站及咖啡馆等地方，下一位找到这本书的人就到网站上记录他们找到这本书的地点，由此可推断选C项“把书继续传递给另一位读者”。A项“与其他读者会面，讨论这本书”，B项“把书妥善保存在书架上”，D项“把书邮寄给他的主人”，均不是会员的做法。【答案】C11What is the best title for the text?AOnline Reading：A Virtual TourBElectronic Books：A New TrendCA Book Group Brings Tradition BackDA Website Links People through Books【解析】标题归纳题。本文主要介绍了BookCrossing这个网站，因此这篇文章的标题应体现出“网站”这一关键点，再根据第三段中的the people you meet and books you read可知只有D项涵盖了这些信息。【答案】DD(2016平江市高二期中)Secrets of happy peopleEveryone wants to achieve true
