regret and selfpity.Is it really a crime to be a housewife? Is it really embarrassing when you choose not to work outside and instead choose to work in your home?‎ How could you be “just a housewife” when the basic social unit of society depends on you and your service？A housewife works for the longest hour，supporting your husband，child’s studies，caring for elders，managing finances，paying bills，grocery shopping，cooking according to individual taste，cleaning，etc.A housewife could be anyone: daughter，wife，mother，teacher，financial advisor，fashion designer and nurse，gardener，driver，cook，and so on.Don’t think you are not being paid for it.You get the reward that no money can offer—the love and affection of your family，their trust in you，a happy home and your own satisfaction.‎ It is you who choose to be in this occupation，willingly or for any other reason.After a busy day，all wait to return to the comfortable home set by you.They know you will be there to absorb all ‎ their stress and tiredness and relax them.Would the life have been the same had you been working outside to earn some money? Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money?‎ Respect yourself for what you are.Introduce yourself to the world with the same dignity.The world understands the importance of your job; it’s time to make them accept it.Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes “I am a housewife”．Kick that “just” out.‎ ‎11．How do people feel when they say “I’m just a housewife”？‎ A．Satisfied. B．Proud.‎ C．Regretful. D．Anxious.‎ 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句“I don’t understand why their introduction is always filled with regret and selfpity.”可知，家庭主妇在自我介绍时会对自己的身份感到惋惜或者遗憾。‎ ‎12．Listing the housewife’s duties，the author implies that a housewife .‎ A．usually leads a terrible life B．plays a more important role C．does not always get her reward D．makes a great contribution to the family 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的整体内容可知，家庭主妇身兼多职，其在家庭中的作用和地位不可小觑，为整个家庭做出了巨大的贡献。‎ ‎13．If a housewife worked outside，she would .‎ A．have the same life like before B．set a comfortable home for her family C．absorb her family’s stress D．lose the content that she is enjoying 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Would you along with your family have been able to buy all the content in life that you are enjoying now with that money？”可推知，职业妇女是不可能享有家庭主妇所享有的那种满足感的，那是钱买不来的。‎ ‎14．What is the author’s attitude towards housewives?‎ A．Supportive. B．Doubtful.‎ C．Opposed. D．Tolerant.‎ 答案　A 解析　作者态度题。作者在文中主要论述了家庭主妇的伟大之处，再根据文章最后一段的“Introduce yourself with pride and with twinkle in your eyes ‘I am a housewife’．Kick that ‘just’ out.”也可推知，作者是支持家庭主妇的。‎ Ⅲ.七选五 ‎(2016·陕西师大附中模拟)‎ There is an old Spanish proverb which states，“Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”． 15 I’d say，too many.Our dreams should not，and cannot wait.We have to go for them now! Here’s why.‎ ‎1． 16 ‎ Nobody likes to talk about death，but the reality is that everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day，or the hour.Therefore，today is all we have.Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream，big or small right now.‎ ‎2．The world is waiting on your gift.‎ I know this may be hard to believe，but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes，YOU! 17 Sure，other people may be able to sing.But they’ll never be able to sing exactly like you.Sure，other people can write，but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.Don’t deprive the world of your gift.It’s the oxygen that we need to survive.Thus，it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is，and use to better your life and the lives of ‎ those around you.‎ ‎3． 18 ‎ You can dream about writing the great American play that you want，but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.You can dream about finding a

dreams until tomorrow?‎ E．You were born into the world with a unique gift，which nobody on this earth can duplicate.‎ F．Possibilities you never knew existed are waiting on you.‎ G．Unless you take the first step，your dreams will never come true.‎ 语篇解读　作者在本文中呼吁我们一定要抓住今天，抓住现在，不要拖延，只有这样我们才会成功。‎ ‎15．答案　D 解析　根据下一句“I’d say，too many.”可知此处应该是一个疑问句。选项中只有D项“How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow？”是询问的这一问题。故D项正确。‎ ‎16．答案　B 解析　根据本段最后两句“Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream，big or small right now.”不要到坟墓里再去追求梦想，无论梦想是大还是小，现在就下定决心去追求它。可知也就是说不要拖到明天。故B正确。‎ ‎17．答案　E 解析　根据本段标题“The world is waiting on your gift.”‎ 可知世界上的每个人都要发挥自己的天赋和才干。因为每个人的天赋和才干都是独一无二的。选项中只有E项“You were born into the world with a unique gift，which nobody on this earth can duplicate.”和该段的主题一致。‎ ‎18．答案　G 解析　根据本段所举的两个例子可知，只有采取行动，你的梦想才会实现。故G符合要求。‎ ‎19．答案　C 解析　本段讲述的是我们要采取行动，梦想才会实现。C项“In other words，dreams don’t work unless you do.(换句话说如果你不去做，梦想是不会实现的。)”符合本段的中心思想。‎ Ⅳ.完形填空 ‎(2017·广西桂林中学月考)‎ It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering the ninth grade.High school is well known for being a battleground，where everyone
