4 people all know that one should have definite objectives , a strong will and good learning habits , quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 5 these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried 6 their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic （遗传的）factors , malnutrition ,（营养不良）or laziness , but they never take 7 consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons 8 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 9 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 10 themselves up as hopeless.

If we don’t start now to 16 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 17 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward 18 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
First, parents and teachers should 19 understand teenage psychology. On this basis , they can help them to pursue （调动）the objectives of learning , 20 their interests and toughening their willpower .

语篇解读：本文记述了作者一次因开会去拉斯维加斯时，飞机因沙尘暴而延时降落，在不断延长的等待中，成人焦急、害怕，唯独不知恐惧的婴儿在享受着过山车一样的颠簸。作者也深受启发，体验了一次孩子的享受。
1. 答案：B
解析：根据 “High desert winds…to close all but one runway”可知因沙尘暴关闭所有的跑道，只留一条，故应为延时降落。
2. 答案：A
解析：因为沙尘暴迫使机场关闭跑道。 B为“警告”；C意为“打扫，席卷”；D意为“提醒”，均不符合题意
3. 答案：C
解析：飞机在等待降落的过程中应该是绕城市盘旋。故应选C。 A. watch用于着动态的场面； B. visit意为“参观，拜访”； D. cross意为“横穿”
4. 答案：D
解析：根据上下文句意可知，飞机要绕城市盘旋几分钟以便等待着陆
5. 答案：C
解析：句意为；“我们被告知仍在座位上坐好，系好安全带，因为飞机可能有颠簸。”此处应为because引导的原因状语从句
6. 答案：B
解析：make…pale by comparison “使……相形见绌”，此处用以强调飞机在空中极不稳定
7. 答案：A
解析：句意为：“象过山车一样的巨烈运动使旅客恶心而不得不用呕吐袋。A. sick 意为“恶心的”；B. nervous意为“紧张的”； C. angry 意为“生气的”；D. afraid意为“害怕的”。
8．答案B
解析：此空前的that指的是using airsickness bags，也就是发生在飞机上狭小空间中的呕吐，因此选用narrow“狭窄的”，后面的space指的是飞机内部空间。empty 意为“空的”，secret意为“秘密的”，均不合题意。
9．答案A
解析：在这种情形下本来就很难受，在飞机上呕吐使得这种难受更加强烈，此处serve意为“起……作用，用作……”。
10. 答案：A
解析：根据后面的 a sense of anxiety and fear可知，人们都很紧张、焦虑，在这种情形下飞机上的人一定是静悄悄的。
11. 答案：D
解析：飞机上的焦躁不安，应该是能够很明显的被感觉到，故选clearly
12. 答案：B
解析：从后文中的 “he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried…Those are what we grown—ups have learned …”他不知道害怕和着急……，那是我们成年人……，可推测出应该是孩子
13. 答案：D
解析：应是飞机的每一次颠簸让孩子体验坐过山车一样的感受，孩子发出咯咯的笑声
14. 答案：A
解析：句意为我意识到孩子不知道他应该害怕和担心
15. 答案：B
解析：应是为他的安全担心
16. 答案：C
解析：成人都是从孩子时代过来的。是成人的亲身经历让他们知道孩子不知道什么是害怕和担心
17. 答案：D
解析：因为孩子不知道害怕，自然是在飞机的颠簸中享受坐过山车般的快乐
18. 答案：A
解析：sat back into my seat意为坐回到座位上
19. 答案：C
解析：句意应为：“我坐回到我的座位上，假装真地坐上了过山车。”A项意为“几乎”；B项意为“最后”，D项意为“突然”，均不合题意。
20．答案B
解析：我甚至咯咯地笑了一两次。作者应该是真的笑出了声，才让邻座的手拿呕吐袋的人懊恼。做成了某事用managed to do.

【要点综述】作者围绕其母亲去世时留给她的一条珍珠项链这一主线展开故事。叙述了她在项链失而复得之后，为了缓减对母亲的思念，在一次不经意的度假中找到了她的新生活----成家立业；作者在生活中以各种形式来怀念她的母亲，感受到家的温暖；而“项链”既是表达了对母亲的怀念之情同时也暗示了母亲对她生活的影响。
1. A 根据下句“…a pearl necklace Mum had left me... ”可知母亲是在当年10月去世。
2.B根据句子“I was distraught (忧心如焚的)”说明项链弄丢了。
3.D “我是被告在一起工作的一个伙计拾到了项链。”A为“展示”；B意味“安慰”；C为“说服”均不符合题意。
4. C. 句意为：“他可能把项链变卖成钱了。”根据句意选C。
5. A 根据上一句和下一句“他把项链交还了我”可知选A。A意为“幸运地”；B意为“自然地”； C意为“当然”；D意为“希望”。

8. D 根据前后文可知我就立刻爱上了Morzaine这个地方。A为“突然，猛然地”；B为“最终”；C为“将近，几乎”；D为“立即，马上”。
9. C 句意为：“原本只认为是一次权宜之计的旅行最终却成就了我新的生活”。was supposed to be意为“原以为是，本该是”，故C符合题意。
10. D上文提到我开始了一种新的生活，故应该感到比以前心情更轻松了。故选D。
11. B 根据“as a hotel manager” “moved here full time”可知她受雇当旅馆经理。
12. D 根据下文“but by summer, we got married”可知我不想讨论结婚的事情。
13. C 我不想讨论结婚的事，是因为我深陷丧母悲痛仍无法自拔。故C项最合适。
14. B 根据句意：“Paul他理解此事，从未催促过我，但到夏天时我们还是结婚了。”故选B（敦促，催促），切合题意。
15.A根据下一段话中“guests” ”eachroom” 等词汇可知是建他们自己的旅馆。
16.A每个房间都以来自生活的记忆为主题，并将母亲用过的小椅子置于房间，显然我们是要给我们的客人以一种家的感觉。故选A. homely(如在家一般的，像家的)。
17.B 根据句意“过去放在她卧室的一把小椅子”选B“过去常常”。A为“应该”；C为“可能”，D为“能够，可能”，均不符合句意。
18.D根据后文“I know she’s here in spirit, keeping an eye on us.”可知母亲很自然会感觉到我们正在过的这种美好的生活。
19.C根据句意：“我们正在过着一种美好的生活，母亲自然是感知到它，因为，要不是她给我的那条项链的话，我是绝不会来这个地方的。“选C。
