题型一：此部分共有一篇短文，短文后有5个句子，请根据短文内容对这5个句子进行判断。认为对，填A（True）；认为错，填B（False）。

Passage 1

My husband got married in 1981 and for the first ten years of our marriage I was happy to stay home and raise our three children. The four years ago, my youngest child went to school and I thought I might go back to work.

My husband was very supportive and helped me to make my decision. He emphasized all of the things I could do around the house, and said he thought I could be a great success in business.

After several weeks of looking for a job, I found my present job, which was working for a small public relations firm. At first, my husband was very proud of me and would tell his friends, “My clever little wife can run that company she’s working for.”

But as his joking statement approached truth, my husband stopped talking to me about my job. I have received several promotions and pay increases, and I’m now making more money than he is. I can buy my new clothes and a new car. Because of our joint incomes, my husband and I can do many things we had always dreamed of doing, but we don’t do these things because he is very unhappy.

We fight about little things and my husband is very critical of me in front of our friends. For the first time in our marriage, I think it is possible that our marriage may come to an end.

I love my husband very much, and I don’t want him to feel inferior, but I also love my job. I think I can be a good wife and a working woman, but I don’t know how. Who can give me some advice? Will I have to choose one or the other or can I keep both my husband and my new career?

1. The passage was probably written around 1996.

2. The husband was supportive for the author at the beginning, for he encouraged her to look for a job.

3. Her husband continued to support his wife when her career was approaching success.

5. The difficult position the author is in is a choice between career and children.

Passage 2

A group of frogs wre traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into  a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of （倾听）what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.

The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frog said, “Didn’t you hear us?” The frog explained to them that he was a little deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

The story teaches us two lessons:

1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him up and help him make it through the day.

2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill him.

Be careful of what you say. The power of words is sometimes hard to understand because an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
