Ⅰ.阅读
Toni
Morrison
was
an
American
writer
who
received
the
Nobel
Prize
in
Literature.
Her
novels,
Beloved,
Song
of
Solomon
and
others
explored
the
way
African?Americans
search
for
freedom
and
identity
in
a
country
obsessed
(受困扰的)
with
skin
colour.
Morrison
was
nearly
40
when
she
published
her
first
novel
The
Bluest
Eye
in
1970.
The
Nobel
Prize
committee
described
her
writing
as
“language
itself,
a
language
she
wants
to
liberate
from
race”.
Her
novels
discussed
America's
past,
focusing
on
black
history
and
the
effects
of
slavery
and
racism.
She
called
her
characters
“the
unfree
at
the
heart
of
the
democratic
(民主的)
experiment”.
In
1988,
she
won
the
Pulitzer
Prize
for
her
novel
Beloved,
the
story
of
a
mother
who
kills
her
baby
daughter
rather
than
permit
her
to
return
to
slavery.
It
became
a
best?seller
and
was
later
made
into
a
film.
Many
Americans

university
in
Washington,
DC.
At
Howard,
she
read
African,
British
and
American
literature,
including
writers
William
Faulkner
and
Virginia
Woolf.
After
a
short
marriage,
she
became
a
single
mother
of
two
sons
and
worked
as
a
book
editor
in
New
York.
Several
publishers
rejected
her
first
book
The
Bluest
Eye,
but
it
impressed
The
New
York
Times'
book
critic
(评论家)
John
Leonard,
who
believed
Morrison
was
an
important
new
voice.
He
said
her
writing
was
“so
full
of
pain

the
novel
becomes

Ⅱ.七选五
Learning
to
Give
a
Pep
Talk
(激励的话)
Everyone
wants
to
be
the
type
of
person
who
gives
the
critical
talk
that
turns
around
a
friend's
outlook.
However,
giving
a
good
pep
talk
isn't
easy.
__1__
You
need
to
not
only
listen
and
understand,
but
also
stress
the
other
person's
strengths.
You
also
need
to
know
when
to
stop
talking.
“A
lot
of
people
think
they
are
giving
a
pep
talk,
but
they
are
just
saying
what
they
would
want
to
hear,”
says
Stacy
Kaiser,
a
psychotherapist
(心理治疗师)
in
Los
Angeles.
Instead
of
instantly
telling
someone
what
to
do,
ask
him
what
action
he
has
thought
about
taking
and
why
he
thinks
it
will
be
beneficial.
“Don't
jump
right
in
and
insist
‘You'll
be
fine’,”
says
Kaiser.
__2__
Repeat
the
person's
concerns
out
loud,
so
he
feels
heard.
Then,
show
your
friend
that
you
believe
in
him
and
that
he
has
what
it
takes
to
get
through
this
hard
time.
Stress
his
strengths.
__3__
You
can't
guarantee
success,
but
you
can
remind
the
person
that
he
has
been
through
a
tough
time
before
and
has
got
it
through.
At
last,
Kaiser
says
you
must
know
when
to
stop.
“
__4__
Don't
argue
if
the
person
disagrees
with
what
you
are
saying.
Instead,
tell
him
‘I
am
sorry
you
are
having
such
a
hard
time’,
and
then
back
down.”
Kaiser
says
he
has
learned
to
give
good
pep
talks
by
giving
bad
ones.
He
lost
a
number
of
loved
ones
during
a
short
period.
“Timing
is
everything.”
There
is
a
time
to
give
a
pep
talk,
and
there
is
a
time
to
just
listen.
__5__
A.Let
your
friend
have
his
moment.
B.Give
your
pep
talk
and
then
shut
up.
C.Arguing
with
your
friend
makes
no
sense.
D.Show
your
friend
that
you
understand
why
he
is
sad.
E.He
isn't
interested
in
what
his
best
friends
really
need.
F.It
requires
an
understanding
of
what
your
audience
needs.
G.It
is
also
important
to
remember
that
pep
talks
are
about
hope.
Ⅲ.完形填空
In
our
backyard
there
was
a
big
pond
with
lots
of
trees
and
bushes.
Both
my
grandparents
were
fond
of
our
so?called
garden.
One
morning
our
new
neighbor,
an
aggressively
ambitious
businessman,
saw
my
grandfather
__1__
two
rare
deodar
tree
saplings
on
both
sides
of
our
gate.
__2__
he
said
he
had
planted
the
same
tree
saplings
in
his
garden.
My
grandfather
gave
his
plants
__3__
adequate
amount
of
water
and
didn't
give
them
full
__4__
,
while
our
neighbor
interested
in
better
__5__
and
looked
after
them
too
well.
His
plants
were
much
__6__
and
greener.
Normally
in
summer,
we
have
fierce
thunderstorms.
__7__
the
extreme
damage,
these
storms
also
bring
a
welcome
sudden
__8__
from
the
terribly
hot
climate.
After
a
thunderstorm,
we
came
out
to
__9__
the
damage
to
our
garden
and
saw
the
neighbor
in
his
garden,
too,
but
he
looked
__10__
as
his
plants
had
been
uprooted.
Ours
were
standing
__11__
on
the
ground.
Surprised
to
see
this,
he
came
up
to
us
and
said
with
embarrassment,
“My
trees
__12__
from
the
roots
while
yours
didn't.
Why?”
My
grandfather
said,
“You
gave
your
plants
more
attention,
water
and
manure
(肥料),
__13__
they
didn't
need
to
work
for
anything.
I
gave
mine
just
an
adequate
amount,
letting
their
roots
do
the
__14__
;
thus
their
roots
went
deeper
and
became
stronger.”
Our
neighbor
nodded
in
__15__.
Hearing
the
words,
I
realized
that
anything
easily
given
can
be
taken
away
much
more
easily
and
we
will
not
understand
the
hard
work
it
takes
to
earn
those
things.

famous
scientist.
When
he
1.________
(ask)
why

he
gave
the
answer.
It
all
came
from
an

with
2.________
mother
when
he
was
about
two
years
old.
“I
was
trying
to
get
a
bottle

when
I
lost

floor—a
sea
of
milk!
I
got
3.________
(frighten)
and
I
didn't
know
what
to
do!”
he
said.
Instead
of
4.________
(punish)
him,
his
mother
asked
him
to
play
in
the
milk
for
a
while.
Then
she
said,
“You
know,
we
failed
in

carry
a
big
milk
bottle
with
two
tiny

This

1.a 考查不定冠词。句意:尽管米奇是一名前程似锦的体育记者,但他认为他的生活中缺少了一些东西。由句意可知,设空处应填不定冠词,且successful以辅音音素开头,故填不定冠词a。
2.is
being
weakened 考查动词的时态和语态。句意:一了解到莫里正在因一种严重的疾病而变得虚弱,米奇就开始每周二去他家看望他。分析句子结构可知,设空处在从句中充当谓语,由句意可知用现在进行时态,且从句主语Morrie和动词weaken之间为被动关系,故用现在进行时的被动语态。

is
important
in
our
