Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope.
In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family.
She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.
There’s always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you.
Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five? If you just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? How about if you don’t work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr. or Miss Right?
There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主義).They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest an enormous amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance enhancement, even plastic surgery. They encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. They make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社會精英).
But what’s the downside of being ordinary? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac(熱衷者)? Do you need to take hundreds of selfies and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat? Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?
Don’t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want. Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people’s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it.
32. Why does Ivanka become a hit online?
A. She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her.
B. She together with her family is put under careful investigation.
C. She is a virtual role model frequently seen among ordinary people.
D. She gets what she has through personal efforts despite decent origin.
33. Which of the following are considered as a life belonging to people of higher social rank?
①Polish and post carefully- selected selfies on WeChat;
②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold;
③Spare no expense to improve physical appearance;
④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips;
A. ①④ B. ②④ C.②③ D. ③④
34. It can be inferred from the text that ____________.
A. Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the vast majority guilty.
B. Keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.
C. Being distinguished is a commonly advocated culture nowadays.
D. Improving the quality of life will promote one’s social status.
35. Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with?
A. Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
B. There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way.
C. Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
D. The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.

My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years ago and we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it does today. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and the entire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally built rock wall. The front of the house though is another story because instead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.
We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover flowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area. We would do all of the yard work on our own, even the tiring weed-pulling.
Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify, I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.
Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower with a tall skinny stalk(莖，桿) and only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.
That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability of doing the same thing. Once our environment begins to see that we believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same nourishment(營養(yǎng)) and growth as well.
Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle in order to reach your desires.
25. Why is the front of the house another story according to the author?
A. The workers finished it in a hurry.
B. There is a wall along the sidewalk.
C. The family view it as a rock garden.
D. The rocks are piled there at random.
26. The author found it unusual that_______.
A. the Sunflower grew under and around a big rock
B. the Sunflower had a tall stalk and only one head
C. the mystery plant turned out to be a Sunflower
D. a rock stood in the way of the flower’s growth
27 Which of the following best describes the Sunflower?
A. Brave and stubborn B. Confident and persistent
C. Optimistic and modest D. Mysterious and devoted
答案解析
25---27:DAB
主旨大意：本文為記敘文。一塊大石頭擋住了一株向日葵成長的路，它卻頑強的存活，美麗的綻放。作者通過對這樣一個故事的描述，旨在告訴我們，一旦周遭的環(huán)境開始看到，我們像那棵小小的向日葵一樣相信自己，我們亦能夠得到同樣的養(yǎng)分并且成長起來。
25. D[解析] 由第一段最后一句可知，房子的前邊是另一碼事——因為沿人行道修建的不是一面墻，而是在泥地上草草壘起來的石頭堆。
26. A[解析] 由第四段最后一句可知，向日葵并不是從我發(fā)現(xiàn)莖桿的地方開始生長的。它從一塊大石頭下面開始發(fā)芽、生長，然后繞過石頭，以獲取陽光。
27. B[解析] 由最后兩段可知，正因為相信自己，且不懼挫折，堅持不懈，向日葵才能頑強地生存下來。
