One of our fellow TV presenters seriously upset the camera crew when they arrived at his house. He was rude and unconcerned, treating them like lowly workers. Minutes later, when the camera was turned on, he became the perfectly smiling spiritual figure he was publicly known to be. But, as the crew told 8‎ ‎ us later, he had already shown them that he didn't walk his talk.‎ In contrast, Ed was meeting with Jo, our TV producer, in a small London cafe. If you have ever been to London you'll know that in such cafe the tables are very close. Two well dressed African men sat down next to them, which effectively meant they were sharing the same table. Ed asked the two strangers where they were from and one said,  "South Africa. " The man pulled out his business card—his name was Jacob Zuma who, at that time, was the President of the ANC but is now the President of South Africa.‎ Usually, if you sit next to someone in a big city cafe, you don't even make eye contact, let alone conversation.  Jacob had never met Ed before so he could have been distant and polite, he certainly didn't have to talk, let alone maintain communication, which he did over the following few years. He even hugged him!‎ How we walk our talk shows far more than just our public behavior. Rather, it highlights how we view the world and our place in it. Jacob Zuma showed us how he treats others—with the fairness, consideration and respect that he treats all beings. No matter who we are, whether a street cleaner or a president, we are all equal, here together as one human family.‎ ‎1.What can we learn about the TV presenter?‎ A. He felt upset before the camera.‎ B. He was known for his being impolite.‎ C. His deeds didn't agree with his words.‎ D. He pretended to be polite to the camera crew.‎ ‎2.Which word can best describe Jacob Zuma according to the text?‎ A. Friendly. B. Humorous. ‎ C. Generous. D. Serious.‎ ‎3.Why did Ed go to the small London cafe?‎ A. To film a TV series. B. To interview Jacob Zuma.‎ C. To meet with a TV producer. D. To observe people's public behavior.‎ ‎4.What is the text mainly about?‎ A.TV presenters are often too proud.‎ B. There still exists inequality in society.‎ 8‎ C.I. earned people are more likely to be polite.‎ D. People should treat others with equal respect.‎ ‎ 【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过举例讲述了我们如何做到言行一致，礼貌待人。我们的谈话方式是我们的公共行为，表明我们如何看待世界和我们在社会中的地位，因此我们应该公平的、体贴的、尊重地对待别人。‎ ‎1.C 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段二、三句He was rude and unconcerned, treating them like lowly workers. Minutes later, when the camera was turned on, he became the perfectly smiling spiritual figure he was publicly known to be.可知，这位电视节目主持人对待同事粗鲁不礼貌，当面对镜头，他就成了众所周知的完美的精神形象。因此推断他是一个言行不一的人。故选C。‎ ‎3.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段第一句In contrast, Ed was meeting with Jo, our TV producer, in a small London cafe.可知，Ed去咖啡馆是为了见一个电视节目制片人。故选C。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，文章通过举例讲述了我们如何做到言行一致，礼貌待人。我们的谈话方式是我们的公共行为，表明我们如何看待世界和我们在社会中的地位，因此我们应该公平的、体贴的、尊重地对待别人。故选D。‎ B Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerveracking(令人紧张的)．I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn’t the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn’t stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.‎ The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying ‎ 8‎ to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together. ‎ The great thing about nature is that, it’s just you, the views, and the people around you. There’s nothing to bother you and it’s the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world’s highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible；it’s formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking(窥探) out. It’s definitely something you wouldn’t want to miss.‎ Yosemite isn’t the only great national park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It’s a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己和家人一起自驾游览Yosemite公园的经历，建议人们多去户外亲近大自然。‎ ‎1．The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ．‎ A．introduce the topic of this passage B．offer an example to us C．tell us his future plan for hiking D．describe a national park A　解析：写作意图题。通读全文尤其是第一段的第一句可知，文章主要介绍了作者和家人去Yosemite公园游玩的经历；据此可以判断，第一段旨在引出文章主题，故A项正确。‎ ‎2．While climbing up rocks, the author was ．‎ ‎ A．nerveracking　　　　　 B．injured C．pleased D．worried C　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Climbing up rocks ... a lot of fun.”可知，攀岩是作者最喜欢的项目，作者从中体会到了许多乐趣。C项意为“高兴的”，符合语境，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．According to the passage, Yosemite ．‎ A．is crowded with visitors every day B．is the only great national park 8‎ C．is worth travelling to D．is nothing but a common destination C　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句和第二段的第一句以及最后一段“Yosemite isn’t the only great ...
