That
cold
January
night,
I
was
growing
sick
of
my
life
in
San
Francisco.
There
I was,
walking
home at one in the
morning after a tiring practice at the theatre.
With opening night only a week
away, I
was still learning my lines. I was having trouble
dealing with my part-time job at the bank
and my acting at night at the same
time. As I walked, I thought seriously about
giving up both
acting and San
Francisco. City life had become too much for
me.
As I walked down
empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very
small and cold. I began running,
both
to keep warm and to keep away from any possible
robbers
（抢劫犯）
. Very few
people
were still out except a few sad-
looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my apartment
（公寓房间）
, I heard a sound
behind me. I turned quickly,
half
expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.
The street was empty. All I saw was a shining
street-light. Still, the noise had made
me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until
I reached my
apartment building and
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had
been. It had been my
wallet falling to
the street.
Suddenly I
wasn't cold or tired any more, and I ran out of
the door and back to where I'd heard
the noise. Although I searched the
street anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet
was nowhere to
be found.
Just as I was about to give up the
search, I heard the garbage truck
（垃圾车）
pull up to the
street
next
to
me.
When
a
voice
called
from
the
inside,
Camacho?
I
thought
I
was
dreaming. How could this man know my
name? The door opened, and out jumped a small
red-
haired man with an amused look in
his eyes.
It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I
got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that
night, but I had
got
my
wallet
back.
I
also
had
got
back
some
enjoyment
of
city
life.
I
realized
that
the
city
couldn't be a bad place as long as
people were willing to help each other.

As a young
woman
，
my mother worked in
the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty.
She was hardworking and had a special
skill in making delicious strawberry
jam.
Aunt Fanny was
single and had no children. She didn't like to
share love with others. I thought
she
was very lonely
，
although
she didn't mind it. She had a workshop where my
mother helped
her make the best
strawberry jam
，
and everyone
in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked
my mother not to tell the
recipe
（秘方）
of making the
strawberry jam to others.
When
the
strawberries
were
ripe
，
my
family
would
pick
them
together.
We
talked
and
laughed
，
experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But
aunt Fanny never joined us. She just
asked us to pick strawberries quickly
and make more strawberry jam to make more money
for her.
Each person in our town said
that she just paid attention to money rather than
anything else.
What a poor woman! It's
no use having too much money because she had no
family and friends
to share her
happiness during her lifetime.
Maybe it was the recipe that
brought success to aunt Fanny. But to
me
，
it was just a common
recipe. Money can make you feel rich
for a while
，
but it is the
beautiful days spent with family
and
friends that truly make you rich.
（

Who
owns the recipe of making the best strawberry
jam?

paid attention to nothing except money.

shared her success.
D.
Because she always thought of helping others
rather than herself.

根据短
文理解，选择正确答案。
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom
turned on and with one wall in my bedroom
entirely lined with bookshelves, most
of my childhood was spent on books I could get
hold of. In
fact,
I
grew
up
thinking
of
reading
as
natural
as
breathing
and
books
unbelievably powerful
in
shaping
perspectives
（
观点
）
by creating worlds we could step into, take part
in and live in.
With
this belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a
writer. Here too, reading became useful.
Every writer starts off knowing that he
has something to say, but being unable to find the
right
ways to say it. He has to find
his own voice by reading widely and discovering
which parts of the
writers he agrees or
disagrees with. He cannot write without loving to
read, because only through
reading
other
people's
writing
can
one
discover
what
works,
what
doesn't
and,
in
the
end,
together
with lots of practice, what voice he
has.
Now
I
am
in
college,
and
have
come
to
realize
how
important
it
is
to
read
books.
Reading
reminds
me
that
there
is
life
beyond
my
own.
It
allows
me
to
travel
across
the
high
seas
and
along the Silk Road, all
from the comfort of my own armchair, to
experience, though secondhand,
exciting
experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to
have in my lifetime.

What can be inferred
about the author as a child?
A. He never watched TV.
B. He found reading unbelievable.
C. He considered reading part of his
life.
D. He read what he had
to.
（
2
）
The
underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph
most probably means “________”.
A. a belief
B. a way of writing
C. a sound quality
D. a world to write about
（

）
What
effect does reading have on the author?
A. It opens up a wider
world for him.
B. It
helps him to realize his dream.
C. It makes his college life more
interesting. D. It increases his interest in
worldwide travel.

【分析】作者从小的时候就
非常喜欢阅读，这个习惯也让他有了成为一名作家的
想法。而这一梦想反过来又更加督促
他去更多的阅读，因为这样他才能表达自己的思想。
作者觉得阅读对于他来说是很重要的

I grew up in a
house where the TV was seldom turned
on
and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined
with bookshelves, most of my childhood was
spent on books I could get hold of. In

可
知，作者从小生活在一个很少开电视，却
有很多书的家庭里，他童年的大多数时候都是在
读书中度过的，他觉得读书就像呼吸一样
的自然。由此可知，作者觉得读书是他生活的一
部分。故应选
C
。
（
2

Every

starts
off
knowing
that
he
has
something
to
say,
but being unable to
find the right ways to say it. He has to find his
own voice by reading widely
and
discovering which parts of the writers he agrees
or disagrees with.
可知，作者想要成为一名
作家，他觉得每个作家都是以阅读开始的，这样他才能找到正确的方式去表达自己的想
法。因此这里的
voice
指的就是一个作家的写作方式。故应
选
B
。
（<

）推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段
R
eading reminds me that there is life beyond my

It allows me to travel across the

comfort of my

to

ime
可知，阅读对于作者来说是非常重要的，它可带着
作者穿
过海洋，沿着丝绸之路，去体验令人激动的经历，这些经历可能在作者的一生中不
会拥有
的。因此选项中
A
选项最符合文意，阅读给作者打开了更广阔的
世界。故选
A
（
4
）主旨大意题。这篇短文介绍的是作者从小的时候开始就非常喜欢阅读，这个爱好
还让
作者想要成为一名作家，而这个梦想反过来又让作者读得更多，到大学的时候，作者
意识
到了阅读是多么的重要。因此文章的主题是作者为什么阅读，不是怎样读、读什么或
什么
时候读。故应选
C
。
【点评】这篇短文介绍了作者为什么喜欢阅读，整篇短文的内容不是很难理
解，但是后面
的题目需要学生对文章的主题有深层次的理解才能做出来因此理解文章的主
题、了解作者
的写作意图是做题的关键。例如第
2
小题，划线的这个单词
voice
本意是声音，但是
在文
章里，它肯定不是这个意思。根据这一段的意思可知，作者因为喜欢阅读而有了一个
梦
想，就是成为作家。而想要成为作家，要去表达自己的思想，就需要更多的去阅读，这
样
他才能找到自己的写作方式。因此这里的
voice
不是说出来的声音，而是作家笔下写出来
的、能表达自己思想的声音，也
就是作家的写作方式，因此应选
B
。

There is another who had a baby within
a year of marriage.
Obama
retires
（退休）
at 55, but Trump
starts at 70.
Absolutely
everyone
in
this
world
works
based
on
their
Time
Zone.
People
can
have
things
worked out only
according to their pace.
（步调）
People
around you might seem to go ahead of you; some
might seem to be behind you. But
everyone is running their own race, in
their own time.
Don't
envy them or laugh at them. They are in their TIME
ZONE, and you are in yours!
Life
is
about
waiting
for
the
right
moment
to
act.
Hold
on,
be
strong,
and
stay
true
to
yourself .Fight in your time
zone.
So, RELAX. You're
not LATE. You're not EARLY. You are very much ON
TIME , and in your time
zone destiny
set up for you.
