D．By themes.‎ 解析：选D　写作手法题。文章所推荐的三类书籍分别为：哈利·波特迷、迪士尼迷以及科幻和超级英雄迷。每类中推荐的书籍都是分别与这些主题相关的书。由此可知，文中所推荐的书籍是按照它们的主题分类的。‎ B Sonam Tenzin has a clear understanding of what modern material wealth would mean to him: treatment and medication for his elderly, disabled mother, and his aunt and uncle and a good education for his two sons.‎ Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife, so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.Last year, the family’s situation got worse when their house was damaged by fire.Although he got help, Sonam had to borrow 60,000 yuan from the bank to repair the building.‎ In the coming five years, according to the policy, the government will provide parttime jobs, such as forest rangers (护林员), for 500,000 people.Sonam Tenzin has been offered a job as a forest ranger, which will bring him about 3,000 yuan every year.‎ ‎“However, some people just do nothing and think the government will take care of them, anyway，” Nyima, the official, said.“Stopping the resettlement projects from turning into slums (贫民区) is at the top of our tasks.”‎ The real challenge for the government lies in working out how poor families can be helped to make a living without government assistance.In one resettlement project in an urban area of Nyingchi, the government has set an entry condition that requires poor families to have at least one person working in the area before they are allowed to move in.‎ Although Sonam Tenzin had excellent performance in his schoolwork, the need to support his family forced him to drop out before he finished high school.Now, his dearest wish is that his children will receive an education good enough to help them live up to their potential (潜能)．‎ ‎“Every time I am invited to a gathering of my middle school classmates, I always refuse.We were very close, but now we live very different lives，” he said.“I just hope my children will not be in the same position as me in the future.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了西藏自治区林芝市的Sonam Tenzin在当地政府的政策帮助下摆脱贫困。‎ ‎4．Why does Sonam Tenzin have to support his family by himself?‎ A．Because only he has a job in his family.‎ B．Because his wife doesn’t live with him.‎ C．Because only he has the ability to work.‎ D．Because his wife is terribly ill.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段“Sonam Tenzin is separated from his wife, so he supports his sons and his three aging relatives alone.”可知，Sonam Tenzin与妻子分居，因此他只能独自抚养儿子和赡养他三个年迈的亲属。‎ ‎5．What’s the biggest problem that the resettlement projects are facing?‎ A．Some people’s laziness.‎ B．The poor living conditions.‎ C．Some people’s disagreement.‎ D．The shortage of job opportunities.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，政府官员Nyima说有些人什么事情也不做，觉得不管怎样政府都会照顾他们。如何不让“重新安置工程”变成贫民区是政府议程中的首要任务。由此可推知，“重新安置工程”面对的最大问题是一些人的懒惰。‎ ‎6．What is the real challenge for the government?‎ A．Letting the poor people live a better life.‎ B．Providing the poor families with more money.‎ C．Letting every able man have a job of his own.‎ D．Letting the poor be able to make a living independently.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第五段第一句可知，政府真正的挑战在于解决如何让贫困家庭在没有政府的帮助下维持生计。由此可推知，政府面对的真正挑战是让穷人独立谋生。‎ ‎7．In Sonam Tenzin’s opinion, the most important thing to his children is .‎ A．the safe life B．the chances to go out of the village C．the chances to be educated well D．the easy life 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句可知，Sonam ‎ Tenzin现在最迫切的愿望就是他的孩子能够得到足够好的教育，即在Sonam Tenzin看来，对他的孩子们最重要的事情是接受良好教育的机会。‎ C The holiday is coming.For some families with children, holiday gifts — while wonderful and thoughtful in many ways — can become nearly unmanageable, filling both rooms and minds.‎ This year, I’m trying to achieve the goal of simplicity as I pick a few key presents for my girls.I will probably fail.But it’s a good goal, and one that has some new science to back it.Little kids play longer and more creatively with toys when there are fewer toys around, researchers report.‎ Researchers led by professor Alexia Metz at the University of Toledo in Ohio were curious about whether the number of toys would affect how the children played, including how many toys they played with and how long they spent with each toy.The researchers also wondered about children’s creativity, such as the ability to imagine a bucket (桶) as a drum or a hat.‎ In the experiment, 36 children aged 18 to 30 months visited a laboratory playroom twice while cameras caught how they played.On one visit, the room held 4 toys.On the other visit, the room held 16 toys.‎ When in the playroom with 16 toys, children played with more toys and spent less time with each one, the researchers found.When the same kids were in a room with 4 toys, they stuck with each toy longer.‎ What’s more, the quality of the children’s play seemed to be better when fewer toys were available.The researchers noted more creative uses of the toys when only 4 were present versus (相对) 16.‎ Metz and colleagues noticed that initial attempts to play with a toy were often simple.But if a kid’s interest stuck, their manner of playing became more complex.This type of longlasting engagement might help children learn to focus their attention, an important skill Metz compared to a muscle that they have to exercise.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，如果给孩子太多的玩具，他们的精力会被分散，这会损害孩子的注意力和创造力。‎ ‎8．What can we learn from the experiment?‎ A．Children prefer to play with more toys.‎ B．Children are poor at focusing on toys.‎ C．Children play better with fewer toys.‎ D．Children have no aims to play with toys.‎ 解析：‎ 选C　推理判断题。根据第二段的最后一句可知，玩具少的时候孩子玩得时间长，他们的创造力也会表现出来，由此可知答案选C。‎ ‎9．What happened when children were given only 4 toys to play with?‎ A．They tended to do more exercise.‎ B．They chose to focus on only one toy.‎ C．They lost interest in them more quickly.‎ D．They were more creative in playing with them.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可知，当只有四个玩具可以玩的时候，孩子们的创造力会更好地表现出来。‎ ‎10．What do the researchers mainly stress in the last paragraph?‎ A．Providing kids with more exercise.‎ B．Training kids to focus their attention.‎ C．Getting kids interested in playing with toys.‎ D．Teaching kids good manners of playing.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，研究者强调了训练孩子专注力的重要性。‎ ‎11．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A．To present the finding of an experiment.‎ B．To introduce his ways to educate children.‎ C．To show the importance of playing with toys.‎ D．To advise parents to buy proper gifts for kids.‎ 解析：选A　写作意图题。本文主要介绍了一项实验的结果：给孩子太多玩具反而会损害孩子的注意力和创造力。‎ D Studies have shown a direct link between goals and improved performance in both sports and business.Earl Nightingale put it this way, “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.It’s as simple as that.”‎ Dr.Maxwell Maltz, author of the classic PsychoCybernetics, said that human beings have a builtin goal seeking “success mechanism (机制)” that is part of the subconscious (潜意识的) mind.This success mechanism is constantly searching for ways to help us reach our targets and find answers to our problems.According to Maltz, we feel better when our success mechanism keeps going after clear targets.All we have to do to use this mechanism is give it a target.‎ One important reason goal setters achieve such outstanding results is that they have learned how to focus and concentrate their time, energy and resources (资源) on a single ‎ goal, even though it is just for a few hours at a time.One major time management challenge we are facing today is that there are more things available for us to do than anyone could possibly attempt, let alone accomplish, in an entire lifetime.If we are not careful, it is very easy to waste our time on unimportant things.‎ Most significant accomplishments are accompanied with difficulties, struggles and failures.Thomas Edison failed over one thousand times before he finally discovered a way to make the light bulb work.It is very rare for something important to be accomplished successfully on the very first try.If you want to achieve anything significant, it is likely that you will struggle and fail many times before you finally reach your target.One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their “why”．Goals can help you remember your “big why” when you need to pick yourself up and keep going in the face of difficult situations.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。要想成功，我们要树立目标，并全身心地投入到这一件事情上，心中有目标就不会轻言放弃。‎ ‎12．What can we learn from Earl Nightingale’s and Dr.Maxwell Maltz’s words?‎ A．It’s important to succeed in life.‎ B．It’s extremely easy to achieve aims.‎ C．It’s greatly significant to set goals.‎ D．It’s common to make accomplishments.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章前两段的内容可知，Earl Nightingale和Dr.Maxwell Maltz所说的话都表明了设立目标的重要性，心中有目标才能成功。‎ ‎13．What’s important in achieving success according to Paragraph 3?‎ A．Setting a realistic target.‎ B．Concentrating on your aim.‎ C．Managing your time properly.‎ D．Making the most of your resources.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第三段的“One important reason goal setters achieve ...a few hours at a time.”可知，集中所有精力于你的目标上，就会有一个好的结果。‎ ‎14．What can we conclude from the last paragraph?‎ A．Goals can prevent us giving up easily.‎ B．Goals mean achieving more than others.‎ C．Goals get rid of doubts about what we do.‎ D．Goals lead to more difficulties or failures.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“One of the main reasons why people give up so easily in the face of failure is that they lose sight of their ‘why’．”‎ 可知，树立目标可以防止我们轻易放弃。‎ ‎15．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．How to set goals?‎ B．How can we succeed?‎ C．Why should we set goals?‎ D．Why should we keep going?‎ 解析：选C　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章论述了设立目标的重要性以及益处，告诉我们为什么要树立目标，故C项为最佳标题。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎30 years ago, I was rocking my baby boy in my arms. 16 My wife was half asleep and half watching TV in the living room.I poured myself a glass of iced tea in the kitchen, and walked into the front yard.‎ ‎ 17 On the hill next to our house the neighbor’s children were running after fireflies (萤火虫), hoping to catch one in a jar.I sat down in my chair and watched them for a while.‎ As fast as they could run, though, they couldn’t seem to catch the slow moving lighting insects.Finally, tired, they sat down on the grass and just watched the little guys flying through the air, flashing their light on and off. 18 It felt so good to get to see one of nature’s many miracles (奇迹) lighting up my front yard on a warm summer night.‎ Over the years since then I have appreciated and enjoyed all of the wonderful light in this world. 19 I have found it in nature, books, music, animals, prayer, and most of all in the lives of those around me.I have never tried to catch this light, however.I have learned that true light and true love must come from within. 20 ‎ A．Let them remind you to shine your own light as well.‎ B．When he fell asleep I put him gently down for a good night.‎ C．I have taken it into my heart and welcomed it into my soul.‎ D．I slowly drank my tea and joined them in their appreciation.‎ E．They must flow freely between us and cannot be caught in a jar.‎ F．The next time you see some fireflies, take a seat and enjoy their light.‎ G．As soon as I stepped into the yard I heard the sweet sound of laughter.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。一个夏夜，作者在院子里看到邻居的孩子们捕捉萤火虫，他们捕捉失败后开始看着萤火虫漫天飞舞。作者由此发出感慨：真正的光芒和爱一定来自内心。‎ ‎16．选B　上文提到作者哄孩子睡觉，下文提到作者在厨房给自己倒了一杯冰茶并走进前院。故B项“When he fell asleep I put him gently down for a good night.”符合语境，he指代上文中的“my baby boy”。‎ ‎17．选G　第一段末提到“walked into the front yard”，故G项中的“As soon as I stepped into the yard”与之呼应。‎ ‎18．选D　上文提到孩子们捉不到萤火虫后坐在草地上看着一闪一闪的萤火虫漫天飞舞，下文提到“It felt so good to get to see ...on a warm summer night.”，故空处应是作者也观赏萤火虫的内容。D项符合语境。‎ ‎19．选C　通读本段可以发现，下文句式都与该段第一句呼应，因此空处应用现在完成时。故选C项，且C项中的it指的就是上文中的“all of the wonderful light in this world”。‎ ‎20．选E　空前提到“我学到了真正的光芒和爱一定来自于内心”，结合上文作者在院子里的所见和感受，故E项“它们必须在我们中间自由地流淌，而不能被装在罐子里”，即真正的光和爱是自由的、不受束缚的，符合语境。‎
