阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
This past weekend I was browsing through my RSS reader, and I came across an interesting post 1 ( title) What is success. The author is basically questioning what should be considered success,
and he comes to the 2 (conclude) that success should be measured as the positive effect his work will 3 on the lives of other people.
The article caught my attention because I have the exact same opinion. 4 (obvious) ,I don’t think there is right or wrong as to how we define success. The term 5 (it)is a subjective thing, so what success means to you might be different from what it means to me or other people. I think 6 is useful to discuss about such definitions, be—cause it helps us to analyze 7 or not we are moving in the right direction.
For example, most people tend to equate success with money. That is, the more money you make, the 8 successful you are. But under this definition one could argue that a drug dealer who makes 9 (million) of dollars annually is a very successful person. I don’t agree with this. I could tell you that such a drug dealer is a smart businessman, but I wouldn’t call him a success, because the effect he has on the lives of other people is 10 (actual) a very negative one.

7.考查连接词。whether or not...表示“是否……”。
8.考查固定句式。the more...the more...表示“越……,就越……”,此处说的是“你赚钱越多,你就越成功”。
9.考查数词。此处表示不确切的数目,millions of表示“数百万的……”。
10.句意:……因为他对其他人生活的影响实际上是消极的。此处需用副词,故用actually。

【题干】Last December, Doris Low turned 90.Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind( CNIB) in Toronto, where she helps transform literature into braille (盲文) to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers. She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.
After working in the business world for a while, Low got fed up.So she turned to teaching at a technical school and later moved into the library.
Low’s mother liked reading. As her eyes began to fail, Low read to her.Then “hearing an advertisement encouraging people to learn braille, I decided to give it a try.”In 1973,she was certified as a raille transcriber(转译者) and began transcribing books as a volunteer for the CNIB library.
The job was strenuous—she could get to the end of a page, make a mistake on the last line, and have to do the whole thing a—gain. For a number of years, Low also worked in the CNIB sound studio reading books onto tape. Three years ago, she took up proofreading(校对) at the CNIB’s word factory.
In April, during Volunteer Week, the CNIB recognized Low for her great contributions.Thanks to volunteers like Low, the CNIB library has got more than 80,000 accessible materials for people unable to read traditional print.“I can’t imagine how many readers of all ages have benefited from Doris’ contribution as a skilled volunteer through her rich voice and her high degree of accuracy in the hundreds of books she has brailled and proofread over the years—and she is still doing so,” said a CNIB official.
“For me,” said Low,“ the CNIB is more than just a place to volunteer.Three things matter most in my life: a little play, a little work, a little love.I’ve found them all here.”
1.What does Low still do at the age of 90 at the CNIB (no more than 10 words)
_________________________________________________________________
2.Why did Low learn braille (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________
3.What does the underlined word “strenuous” most probably mean (1 word)
___________________________________________________________
4.What are Low’s contributions to the CNIB (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________
5.What do you think of Low Give your reasons.( no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】1. She helps transform literature into braille ( for blind readers/the blind).
2. (Because) her mother’s eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement.
3. Difficult/Hard/Tiring/Tough.
4. She has brailled and proofread hundreds of books, and read books onto tape.
5.Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into braille as a volunteer.
4.Or: Low is a kind—hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others.
【解析】语篇解读 本文是记叙文,题材为个人情况和情感。本文讲述了90岁高龄的Doris Low 40年来坚持不懈地把文学著作翻译成盲文,用故事和知识给盲人带去了力量。
1.原文第一段第二句为提示处。
2.原文第三段第二句为提示处。
3.画线词后面的句子是对该词的解释,即她能够坚持到最后一页,当在最后一行出错的时候,她还得从头开始。由此可推测strenuous意为“艰难的”。
4.原文第五段最后一句为提示处。
5.从文章第一段信息...where she helps transform literature into braille...和最后—句 She has been volunteering her time and talents to such enterprises for more than 40 years.可以推测出,Low是一个非常善良而又乐于助人的人,是一位生活积极向上、乐观豁达的女士。
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。【题干】Q&A
Question: I have recently got a senior position within my company.
One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials. During my first meeting, I presented and then opened the floor to questions. 16 My first reaction was to answer defensively. Later, I realized that I shouldn’t have felt that way. But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this type of settings
Answer: Congratulations on your new position!Presenting in front of your peers(同事) is a hard task in itself, and it becomes much more difficult when a question—and—answer period is required. Question—and—answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points. 17
18
When a person is asking a question, show interest and a desire to understand the question by listening and asking for clarification.
Buy time.
When facing a hard question, most people can’t give an answer immediately. Buy time by repeating the question in your own words. 19 These techniques allow you to quickly organize your thoughts as well as to make sure you will be correctly answering the question.
Suggest a private meeting.
A one—on—one meeting is a calmer setting than speaking in front of your peers. 20
A.Show your true interest.
B.Restate the question with respect.
C.Some ideas can be quite concrete.
D.There were many difficult questions.
E.It can also be more effective in exchanging ideas.
F.You may also ask for clarification on the question.
G.Here are some ideas that can help you prepare for your next meeting.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. A
19. F 20. E
【解析】语篇解读 本文采用问答形式,说明作者在升迁之后所面临的新问题以及就此问题而提出的建设性意见。
16.由信息句My first reaction was to answer defensively.(我的第一反应就是要进行防卫性的回答)可知,这里是作者遇到一的第一个难题。故选D。
17.下面提到的三点是对你做会议准备所提供的建议。故选G。
18.下文信息show interest and a desire to...就是问题的关键,因此判断提出的第一个建议是:表明你真的感兴趣的态度。故选A。
19.根据前后语境分析,这里表示递进关系,即你自己可以不断地重复一个问题,你也可以要求对这个问题清楚地阐述。这些窍门都有助于你正确地回答这个问题。
20.从前面语境分析,这里也属于递进关系。这种一对一的私人会议使你在你的同事面前说话显得底气较足,当然这也是思想交流的一种有效的办法。故选E。
阅读下面材料,在空白处填人适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
【题干】Being born during the Great Depression, as the middle of seven children to a carpenter's family, was not a “silver spoon” experience, but I am one 41 (bless) beyond measure in life.

I was blessed with good teachers throughout my 43 (educate).
After graduating from university, I spent two years in the army, and saw Europe with richer experiences. After returning home, I worked in the local bank, married my sweetheart, and thought I would live a normal lifestyle. 44 who knows what life has to give us

41.考查非谓语动词。前面的逻辑主语one与括号里所给的动词构成被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
42.考查非谓语动词。括号里所给的动词与句子谓语动词构成伴随关系,故用现在分词短语作伴随状语。
43.考查名词。根据前面的物主代词my可知应用所给单词的名词形式,故空格处应填education。
44.考查连词。上文说的是:我原以为我会过上正常的生活;下文说的是:谁知道生活会给我们什么呢?上下文构成转折关系,故填But。
45.考查被动语态。I与call之间是被动关系,而这里是指过去的事,放用一般过去时的被动语态。
46.考查非限制性定语从句。根据句意可知空格处所填的词代替前面的一句话,在从句中充当主语,故答案为which。
47.考查非谓语动词。句子的主语I与return构成逻辑上的主动关系,故本空用现在分词returning,相当于when I returned。
48.考查名词。根据后面的Chairman,President,and CEO of the bank可知应该用其复数形式,故答案为ranks。
49.考查形容词。根据后面的名词wife可知,应用所给单词的形容词形式。devoted意为“挚爱的”,符合句意。
50.考查副词比较级。根据后面的than和句意可知是帮助不如我幸运的人,故答案为less。
【题干】When times are hard, 1 we are sick, or have lost a partner or a job, then it’s not always easy to be thankful. Yet those can actually be the very best times to give 2 (thank)for the things we do have, but not to complain about those we don’t have.
For example, 3 (take) a moment right now to appreciate the chair you are sitting on as you read this. Just consider 4 went into the making of this chair—the wood, cotton, wool or other fibers, the trees and plants 5 (make)into these materials and so on; because of all these you can be sitting here now.
You can apply this 6 everything as every single thing is a part of everything else and all are needed to make a whole. There’s just an 7 (end) stream of connectedness that has come together to enable you to be here right now. And you still don’t think you have anything to feel grateful for or worth 8 (appreciate)
Appreciation must also include yourself. This is often the 9 (hard) part, as it’s so easy to ignore. If you can’t appreciate 10 (you), then how can you appreciate anyone else
1.________2. ________
3. ________4. ________
5. ________6. ________
7. ________8. ________
9. ________10. ________
【答案】1.If 2. thanks
3. take 4. what
5. made 6. to
7. endless 8. appreciating
9. hardest 10. yourself
【解析】1.考查连词。此处说的是困难时期的情况,表条件,故用if。
2.考查名词。根据语境可知此处用名词thanks,thank为动词。
3.句意:例如,现在用一分钟的时间来感恩您阅读这个时坐的椅子。祈使句以动词原形开头。
4.考查宾语从句。consider后的宾语从句中缺少主语,再依据句意可知此处说的是做椅子用的东西,故用what。
5.考查非谓语动词。此处trees and plants与make之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
6.考查介词。表达“将……应用到……”需用apply...to...。
7.由句法特点可知,此处需用形容词,且有否定意义,故用endless。
8.考查固定用法。be worth后用动词的—ing形式表达被动含义。
9.考查形容词最高级。被the修饰,且根据句意可知感谢自己是最难的部分,故用最高级形式。
10.考查反身代词。句子的主语是you,所以再次提及需用yourself。
【题干】About three years ago, I gave a card to a Starbucks waitress. When I went in the next day, she couldn’t help crying and told me that she was 1 (deep)moved by my note and realized what she did really mattered.
I went through a hard time 2 I felt anything but thankful. On New Year’s Day of 2008,I went for a hike, feeling 3 ( happy).I was overweight. I owned a lawyer’s office, but it was losing money. On
my hike, I heard a voice. It said I 4 (should)worry about what I wanted or had lost but should be grateful for what I had. The idea of a year of thank—yous came into my head. This project changed my life. After I thanked my 5 (colleague)for directing cases to me, they sent me 6 (many). When I expressed gratitude to clients for paying on time, they 7 (begin)doing so even more quickly.
8 life has improved since that hike. I’m now in great shape, and I have got my dream job. Having written my 860th note, I can say thank—you letters make 9 difference and that 10 (grateful) is a path to the peace we all try to get.
1.________2. ________
3. ________4. ________5. ________6. ________7. ________
8. ________9. ________
10. ________
【答案】1. deeply 2. when
3. unhappy 4. shouldn’t
5. colleagues 6. more
7. began 8. My 9. a
10. gratefulness
【解析】1.考查副词。deeply“深深地”,为副词,修饰动词moved,表示抽象的含义。
2.考查定语从句的关系词。when引导的定语从句修饰先行词time。
3.考查形容词。前面语境谈到:我经历了艰难的一段时间,由此判定“感到不高兴”,因为feel表示“感觉”,后面接形容词,所以用unhappy。
4.考查情态动词的用法。根据后面的but should be grateful for what I had可判定“我不应该为想得到的或者已经失去的担忧”,所以用shouldn’t。
5.考查名词复数。根据后面的they sent me...判断“同事”不止一个,所以用其复数形式,即colleagues。
6.考查代词。根据语境此处应填表示更多的人或物的词,所以用more。
7.考查时态。根据前面的句子When I expressed gratitude to clients for paying on time可知,应该用—般过去时,所以用began。
8.考查代词。根据语境可知此处应该用My。
9.考查固定短语。make a difference“起作用;产生影响”,为固定短语。
10.考查名词。从后面的内容is a path to the peace we all try to get可以看出,所填词应该是名词,作主语,所以用gratefulness。

【题干】Directions : Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep qualify and cushion us against depression.
Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK—but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components(组成部分).Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindful—ness—time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.
Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions. Second, don’t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long—term happiness than physical possessions.
【答案】1. Vacations 2. performance
3. quality of sleep
4. attempt
5. worry
6. good flight deal
7. adding
8.rules
9. choice
10. shopping wisely

【题干】Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.
There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my coworker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my coworker that I would take care of him.
I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:
“So what happened today ”
It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he
could go to find his teacher to apologize.
1.The boy made trouble for his teacher because he
A.was blamed for creating an air of tension
B.was made to do things against his will
C.was told not to yell at other children
D.was accused of destroying property
2.Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first
A.She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.
B.She was tired of shouting and threats.
C.She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.
D.She didn’t want to make it worse.
3.The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by
A.avoiding making critical remarks
B.describing his teacher’s feelings
C.giving him a good suggestion
D.playing games with him
4.Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end
A.He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.
B.He was fearful of the author’s warning.
C.He was regretful about his behavior.
D.He was sorry about his reputation.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.A 4.C

Think for a moment about the teachers you have had at school. Which one did you like most And why Were the teachers you liked most also the ones who were the best teachers in your opinion
Before you read further, consider for a minute the qualities that make a teacher outstanding(杰出的).
Some very common answers to this question are that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have an expert. knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devote themselves completely to their jobs. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain extent(在一定程度上) but they are perhaps a little too simple.
It is impossible for anyone to love everyone he knows, and teachers deal with a very large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are interested in them and pay attention to the development of both their brains and their characters. A deep knowledge is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively—a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching.
These skills include how to control a class, and so on. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, as models, they should set a good example for their students to follow, so it is important that they should be well—balanced people with interests outside their school work, friends, hobbies, etc. A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow—minded (狭隘的).

【题干】 C
Liu Qian, a magician from Taiwan, cast his spell(魔法) over an audience of thousands on the CCTV Spring Festival Show. Diehard fans are still trying to work out the secrets behind many of the tricks he performed.
But Liu, 32, when asked, laughed off the idea that there might be an “answer” to his magic. “The most fascinating thing is the puzzling process. People enjoy how magicians make the impossible come true,” said Liu.
Few people today believe in the possibility of real magic. They also often fail to consider magicians’ devotion to their art. It can take a magician years’ practice to perfect a trick before he performs it on stage.
Part of Liu’s star appeal is his astonishing skill. However, when he began in the industry, he was all embarrassingly clumsy. “I could practice thousands of times for one single act. It wasn’t much fun,”he said.
No magician’s supernatural powers on stage extend to their life off stage. Liu says his life was no easier or funnier because he was a magician.
He developed an interest in magic at a young age, but didn’t consider making a living out of it until he graduated from university. He had studied Japanese and found himself unable to find a job. “ My parents never considered being a magician as a proper job. To begin with, I had little confidence I would be doing this in the long term,” he said.
Yet Liu felt a powerful calling to be—come a magician. “For many people, magic somehow means a miracle, which is some—thing we all secretly wish for no matter how hardbitten we become,” he said.
Liu may be right. A popular modern dream is of the fairy god—mother, who waves her magic wand (魔杖)and makes our dreams come true. But according to Liu, we all have the power to create magic in our lives. As Liu puts it: it’s not the magic that makes it work; it’s the way we work that makes it magic.
9.Talking of whether there’s real magic, Liu Qian believes_________.
A.there is no real magic and what counts in our life is the way we work
B.if we secretly wish for something, magic will turn out to be a miracle
C.the puzzling process of performing magic tricks is the answer to magic
D.there exists a fairy godmother waving her magic wand to make our dreams come true
10.Which of the following is similar to the underlined sentence in meaning
A.All roads lead to Rome.
B.A miss is as good as a mile.
C.Every dog has his day.
D.No pain, no gain.
11.What is the best title for the passage
A.Magic Power by Liu Qian
B.The Magic Skill
C.A Popular Magician—Liu Qian
D.How to Be a Successful Magician
【答案】9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】语篇解读 刘谦几度上春晚,亿人瞩目,他却感触颇多:台上一分钟,台下十年功。
9.推理判断题。从最后一段的...we all have the power to create magic in our lives. As Liu puts it: it’s not the magic that makes it work; it’s the way we work that makes it magic.可知。
10.推理判断题。从第二段的The most fascinating thing is the puzzling process. People enjoy how magicians make the impossible come true及第三段的It can take a magician years’...on stage:可知。

【题干】 D
Arthur sat at the desk in his room, pencil in hand. He had to write a story for his English class by Friday. “l don’t know what to write about,” he complained to his dog Toby, who was asleep at his feet. Arthur was talkative when speaking to his friends, yet he had trouble finding words when he had to write.
By bedtime Arthur had drawn a picture of Toby’s smiling. He had drawn a tree with its branches blowing in the strong wind. He had also written a note asking his friend Lee to go to the movies on Saturday. But he had not written a single word of his story.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Solomon, Arthur’s English teacher, asked the class to turn in the first draft of their stories. His heart sinking,
Arthur turned in the only work he had—the page with his name, the drawings and the note.
Arthur wasn’t surprised when Mrs. Solomon asked him to stay after class the next day. But he was surprised by what she said to him. “This is an attractive story, Arthur. The dog, the movie, the tree
in the wind—l can’t wait to find out how they all fit together.”
“That isn’t my story, Mrs. Solomon,” Arthur admitted. “I haven’t been able to think of one yet.”
“Oh, I think you have the seed (种子) of a story there,”Mrs. Solomon replied.“Look at your note and the pictures and see if a story comes to you.”
That night Arthur sat at his desk, and this is what he wrote: “One Saturday Mike went downstairs to meet his friend Julio at the cinema. It looked as if it might rain, so Mike carried his umbrella.
Suddenly a big storm blew in, bending the trees. The noise of the wind sounded like the barking of Mike’s dog Toby. Toby really hated storms and barked whenever he wanted to be let inside. Then Mike realized that it wasn’t the sound of the wind. It was Toby. The dog was running after him down the busy street, barking. The sound was filled with blame. Mike felt guilty because he had left Toby outside. He turned and headed home with Toby running beside him. Mike let Toby in the door just as the rain started to pour down.”
Arthur had a story in the end. The last thing he did was to write his name proudly at the top of the page.

【范文】This quotation from Winston Churchill tells us that we shouldn’t get discouraged right after failures. Instead, we should keep trying with enthusiasm.①Success consists in the ability to continue efforts through failures.
At the age of twelve, I got a nice bike as a birthday gift. ②So excited was I that I couldn’t, wait to try my hand at riding it. HOW —ever, it was harder than expected. The bike seemed too heavy and difficult to control.③Worse still, I took many falls off the bike.④I was about to give up when my father came and encouraged me to keep going.
With more practice, I did better and better.⑤Loo—king back, I feel I wouldn’t be able to ride a bike if I had lost heart.
Actually, we can’t succeed in everything we try.⑥What’s important is that we should stick at it.
