一、语法填空 专题训练(三)
代词的选用
◆ 技巧点拨
当两个分句中间用逗号隔开,要求考生在第二个分句填入一个代词时,考生首先要弄清句子结构。第二个分句前如有and, but, or,so等连词,说明前后分句为并列关系,要用人称代词或指示代词。第二分句前如无上述连词,说明它是一个非限制性定语从句,因此应填入关系代词。如:
Tom's mother kept telling him to work harder,but it didn't help.
Tom's mother kept telling him to work harder,which didn't help.
Mr.Green has four sons,all of whom are famous singers.
Mr.Green has four sons,and all of them are famous singers.

三、阅读理解 专题训练(二)
文章主旨(4)
◆ 方法点拨
首尾呼应定主旨。有些文章不仅开篇点题,而且篇末照应,首尾呼应,中心突出。所以,在阅读时,同学们一定要看清并理解文章的开头和结尾,这样有助于把握文章主旨,提高解题的命中率。
◆ 活学活用
阅读下列短文,按要求完成读写任务
(2010年广东卷)When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,“Well,it's so and so's fault.” or “I know I'm late,but it's not my fault;the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser.You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation.However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems.For example,if you were late because your car broke down,maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly.Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers,so you could call for help when in need.For another example,if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability,find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person.Ask to work with a different person,or don't rely on this person.You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens.Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives;they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else.They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents.So,stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident
about your power over bad situations,problems are just stepping stones for success.
