选择题
(1) In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I\’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.
(2) \\
1.What is the author’s attitude toward his father’s advice?(B)
A. He disapproved of his father’s advice.
B. He approved of his father’s advice.
C. He was reluctant to accept it.
D. His attitude is not clear.
解析：推理判断题。由题干中的father’s advice定位至文中首段。该段末尾some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since提到，作者对父亲的建议“至今还念念不忘”；第二段是父亲的建议内容；第三段中I’m inclined to reserve all judgments表明作者“习惯于对所有人都保留看法”，这正是父亲所建议的，故答案为B。从文中第三段作者在大学里是如何对所有人都保留看法可以看出，他赞成且愿意接受父亲的建议，故可排除选项A和C。由以上分析可知，作者明确接受了父亲的建议，故排除D。
2.It can be inferred from Para. 3 that the author seemed to be a(n)________person in his college.(B)
A. optimistic
B. self-disciplined
C. sophisticated
D. pessimistic
解析：推理判断题。由题干提示定位至第三段。本段指出别人向我倾诉隐私时，I have feigned sleep, obsession or a hostile levity，因为他坚信父亲的建议是对的，“保留看法是表示怀有无限希望”。由此可以判断，作者是个自律的人，而不是圆滑世故的人，故答案为B，同时排除C；本段未提及作者是乐观还是悲观的人，故排除选项A和D。
3.According to the author, Gatsby________.(C)
A. is the one who tells the secret griefs to me
B. is the one who the author despises
C. is outstanding in many aspects
D. is romantic about love
解析：细节理解题。由题干中的人名Gatsby定位至文中第四段。该段中“under the name of the ‘creative temperament’—it was an extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person…”描述了作者对盖茨比的高度赞扬，“创造性气质”“永葆希望的超常天赋”和“富于浪漫色彩的敏捷”等说明盖茨比拥有别人所没有的杰出特质，故答案为C，同时可排除B。文中第三段描述作者在大学里耳闻其他人向他诉说的秘密伤心事，而选项A说是盖茨比向作者诉说秘密伤心事，属于“张冠李戴”，故排除A。文中第四段最后一句提到了a romantic readiness，但不是指盖茨比is romantic about love，属于过度引申，故排除D。
(1) This year, like lots of other people, I\’m going to try to make my own Christmas presents. It\’s not the first time that I\’ve promised myself this. Being a milliner, and an all-round crafty type, I\’ve often thought I should put my money where my mouth is. But this year I\’m really going to stick to it. It\’s partly that I\’m short of cash, but also that I\’ve recently returned from an inspiring trip around Britain, looking into \\
4.The author promised to make herself a Christmas present this year mainly because________.(C)
A. she wanted to save money
B. she couldn’t afford to buy one
C. she was inspired by her trip for a BBC2 program
D. a lot of people make presents themselves
解析：细节理解题。由题干中的a Christmas present定位至文章的首段。该段首句中作者明确表示I’m going to try to make my own Christmas presents，而本题考查的是作者这么决定的原因。由该段最后一句partly that和but also that得知原因有两个，but表转折，由此词得知but引导的原因才是主要原因，即“I’ve recently returned from an inspiring trip around Britain…”，故排除A和B选项，答案为C选项，选项D把现象当原因，不符合题干的要求，排除D选项。
5.Which of the following is CORRECT about the author’s trip to Britain?(D)
A. She met many artists and craftsmen on her way to Britain.
B. She spent a whole summer in Britain on crafts.
C. She was asked to sew clothes, pants and curtains, and made a fortune.
D. Many people were found to be interested in making things themselves.
解析：推理判断题。文中第二段前两句阐述了作者对英国之旅的想象，而非真正的事实，因此，排除选项A和B。第三段确实提到了选项C中的was asked to sew clothes, pants and curtains，结合上下文可推知，作者这样做并不是为了赚钱（made a fortune），排除选项C。由文章第四段首句得知，选项D为答案。
6.What is the author’s view on home-made Christmas p
