完形填空
1. D。她从教师工作上退了下来，然而她一直很忙。B项有一定干扰性。keep rich意思是“富有”，从后文she was even willing to work without pay．可以看出B项不合题意。
2. A。从空后的that helped other businesses find jobs for old people．可以看出，她提供的是商业服务。
3. B。从空后的By talking with them可以看出，Anna Douglas每天都与很多老年人会面，而不是观察或安慰他们。
4. A。通过与他们交谈，她认识到两件事情。接下来的两句便是她认识到的事情。recognize在这里是“认识到”的意思。
5. D。老年人有未被利用的能力。这是她积极为老年人找工作发挥他们余热的原因。其他答案不合题意。
6. B。然而老年人也有老年人的问题。A项有较大干扰性。从后文我们知道，有一位老年人不受其孙子女的欢迎，这是他面临的问题，而不是错误。
7. D。从后文She began to write a newspaper column called“Sixty Plus”，我们知道，她为国家杂志写人物故事是以前的事。
8. A。联系上下文Old people like herself．是报纸的一个话题（subject），因此其它选项不合题意。
9. A。get old在这里为系表结构，其它选项不正确。
10. C。B，D项有较大干扰性。作者举的例子说明很多老年人被其孙子女误解，而不是（他们的要求）被拒绝等。
11. A。从空后的see the truth behind a problem我们得知，Anna Douglas用的是 thinking abilities。
12. C。从下文举的例子看，她明白的是事情的起因，因此其它选项不合题意。
13. B。A项有较大干扰性。从前文我们知道Anna Douglas是靠写文章与老年人交流，而不是建立了咨询中心，因此A项不合题意。
14. C。联系上下文我们可以推知，这位老年人与其孙子女关系并不融洽，因此当他进来时，孩子们就离开。
15. C。她给这位老人建议了几种方法。
16. B。A，C有较大干扰性。从空后的 your grandchildren’s world我们得知，想了解孙子女世界的一切是不可能的。
17. A。本空承接and前的分句而来，因此答案应在questioning和listening间选择，选项中没有questioning。
18. B。联系上文Say good things to them and about them．得此答案。A项有一定干扰性，空前的Never决定了此选项不正确。
19. D。stick to在这里是“固执地坚持”。A，B均有一定干扰性。联系前文Mrs. Douglas认为老人应该多听听孙子女的见解，不要太固执地坚持自己的看法。 speak out意思是“说出”，give up是“放弃”，因此不合题意。
20. A。D有较大干扰性。Naturally意思是“自然而然地”，而Commonly指“通常情况下”。
B

这是一篇议论型完形填空，主要说明孩子们在童年和青少年时期所面临的来自大人们的压力。
1. B考查语境理解。由后半句害怕考试与学校的成绩报告单可知答案。

3. A考查生活常识。孩子在成长阶段中的一举一动都受到大人的关注。
4. C考查词语辨析。这里用times指代需要早早上床休息的时光。
5. D考查语境理解。从had to eat判断，小孩子不愿意吃，hateful十分讨厌的符合语境。
6. A考查语境理解。从if you don’t do as I say, I will来判断，大人是在施加压力，所以用pressure。
7. B考查生活常识。自己印象深刻的话语或事情，是不容易忘掉的，故用never。 8. C考查行文逻辑。结合上下文可知，此处表示程度的加深及进一步列举事例。 9. A考查固定搭配。Suffer from受苦，受折磨。

16.考查固定搭配。Lack of意为缺乏……。

19. C考查词语辨析。青少年经历大喜或大悲时更能够体现他们感情的强烈。
20. A考查行文逻辑。前面提到了青少年的状况，这里又说他们对成年人的看法，两句之间应属并列关系，所以用and。

完形填空
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
A
The question of whether war is inevitable is one which has concerned many of the world’s great writers. Before 1 this question, it will be useful to introduce some 2 concepts. Conflict, 3 as opposition among social units-or individuals-directed against one another, is4 from competition, which 5 opposition among social units 6 seeking to obtain something which is 7 inadequate supply. Competitors may not know about one another, which those who 8 in a conflict do. Conflict and competition are both 9 of opposition. The meaning of opposition has been stated as a process by which social unit function in the disservice of one another, opposition is 10 contrasted to cooperation, a 11 by which social units function in the service of one another. These 12 are necessary because it is important to emphasize that competition between individuals or groups is inevitable in a world of limited 13 , but conflict Isn’s. Conflict, nevertheless, is very likely to occur and is probably an essential and desirable 14 of human societies.
Many authors have 15 their arguments that war cannot be avoided on the idea that in the struggle for existence among groups of animals, only those which are best 16 remain alive. In general, however, this struggle in nature is competition, not conflict. Those who fail in this competition 17 starve to death or are 18 by other types of animals. This struggle for 19 is not similar to human war, but is like the competition of 20 for jobs, markets, and materials. The most important quality of this struggle is the competition for the necessities of life that are not enough to satisfy all.
( ) 1. A. considering B. solving C. answering D. saying
( ) 2. A. related B. used C. translated D. sacred
( ) 3. A. specified B. remarked C. defined D. claimed
( ) 4. A. variable B. distinguished C. various D. isolated
( ) 5. A. acknowledged B. denies C. assumes D. means
( ) 6. A. critically B. approximately C. independently D. costly
( ) 7. A. on B. for C. with D. in
( ) 8. A. enter B. participate C. fall D. involve
( ) 9. A. formations B. classes C. terms D. reactions
( ) 10. A. nevertheless B. however C. thus D. maybe
( ) 11. A. procession B. standard C. process D. measurement
( ) 12. A. accounts B. definitions C. descriptions D. explanations
( ) 13. A. resources B. origins C. sources D. materials
( ) 14. A. matter B. element C. event D. coincidence
( ) 15. A. concentrated B. fixed C. centered D. based
( ) 16. A. encouraged B. accepted C. adapted D. adopted
( ) 17. A. not only B. either C. neither D. both
( ) 18. A. killed B. raised C. fired D. surrounded
( ) 19. A. resistence B. privilege C. favour D. employment
( ) 20. A. workers B. officials C. individuals D. residents
1.A 考虑这个问题之前，有必要介绍一些与之相关的概念。
2.A “相关的概念”，应用related。
3.C define, “解释”，“下定义”，后面经常接as; specify,“指定”，“指明”。The regulations specify that you may use a dictionary in the examination。规则指明考虐时可用字典。remark,“说”。claim,“要求承认某人之身份，所有权”。Does anyone claim this umbrella 有没有人认领这把伞？ 冲突，指的是社会单位，团体或个人之间的对抗。它与“竞争”不同。竞争指的是社会单位间为夺取一种不足够的供应而进行的对抗。
4.B distinguish from区别，不同；variable与vaious(多样的)后面一般不接from; isolated“与……隔离开来”。
5.D 对前面competition的解释，“意味着”。
6.C critically批判地；approximately大致地；independently 独立地；不受控制地；costly形容词，昂贵的。根据文中含义，“竞争对手各自寻求物质，所以才会有冲突”。所以此外选C为宜。
7.D in short(inadequate) supply“缺乏的”为固定搭配，一般不用其它介词。
8.B enter in登记姓名，细节等。例：enter in an item in an account?book将一笔账记入账本；fall in陷入，例fall in love with sb. involve in“卷入”，一般为卷入某个事件；participate in参与。 竞争者们可能彼此不了解，而冲突者们则熟识对方。
9.B formation,构成;terms,术语;reactions,反映;classes在此处指“种类，类别”。冲突和竞争都属于对抗。
10.C 选这类连接副词时，关键是弄清句与句之间意义关系。上句讲到对抗就是彼此不服务。这句讲到合作就是彼此服务。他们之间连接词自然就是“因此”了，因此他们相反。对抗与合作相反。合作指的是社会单位互相服务。
11.C procession队伍，行列；standard标准；process过程；measurement衡量。上句中谈到对抗是彼此不服务时，用的是“a process by which social...”,此处与上句这部分结构完全相同，就可套用process一词。
12.B accounts叙述；definitions，定义，概念；descriptions,描述；explanations，解释。文章第二句话是第一自然段主题句：介绍几个概念，然后作者分别介绍。本题中用these definitions“这些概念”则与上文浑然一体。对这些定义的理解非常必要，因为有必要强调，个人或团体之间的竞争在这个资源有限的世界是难免的，而冲突则是可免的。
13.A resource资源，指国家、人类或个人所拥有的人力及物力，例：We must exploit the natural resources of our country. 我们必须开发本国的天然资源。source指河的源头：the source of Nile尼罗河的发源地。source还指出处，来源，例：The news comes from a reliable source.这项消息出自可靠的来源。origin起源，the origin of a quarrel 争吵的起因。此空前为a world of limited一个有限资源的世界，因此选A。
14.B 冲突很可能发生，它可能是人类社会必不可少、值得得到的要素。
15. D base...on... 把……建立在……上。
16.C 只有那些适应（能力）强的才活下来。
17.B 看到or就会想到either; not only...but also; neither...not...,both...and都是固定搭配。在竞争中失败的动物，要不就是饿死，要不就被别的动物杀死。
18.A 由前句starve to death和or可知，此处应同death意义相近。
19.A 为生存的抗争不同于人类战争。
20.C 由后面的jobs, markets and materials可知，此处应填“个人”。 workers, officials和residents（居民）都以偏概全。
B
The purpose of a letter of application(求职信)is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 1 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 2 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 3 any necessary fact.
In writing such a letter, keep in 4 what a possible employer is most 5 to want to know about, therefore, the opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 6 the first few sentences fail to 7 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 8 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs of the employer not 9 your own needs of desire. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 10 in today’s paper,” you might say “I have made a careful 11 of your advertising during the past six months.” 12 “I have made a survey(调查)to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it.”
Be clear about the kind of job you are now 13 .Try to avoid(避免)generalities. College 14 looking for their first positions often ask, “What can I 15 against such a situation in a letter Employer want experience—which, naturally, no 16 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is 17 .
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 18 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something clear to do or expect. An excellent19 is to enclose(内附)a stamped, self-addressed envelop with your letter, which makes it 20 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
( ) 1. A. clearly B. carefully C. seriously D. easily
提示:本段第一句是文章的论点，下文都是围绕在求职中如何“推销”自己展开论述。后文表明正确地推销自己并被雇用不是一件容易的事，排除D项。本段最后一句对求职信的要求表明:求职信重要的是表达清楚，因此，正确答案为A。
答案:A
( ) 2. A. found B. done C. known D. heard
提示:求职信应该说明你做过什么，有哪方面的经验，所以，正确答案为B。下文有该答案的暗示。
答案:B
( ) 3. A. sending out B. taking out C. leaving out D. picking out
提示:上文说求职信应表达清楚，本句进一步说不要有遗漏。
答案:C
( ) 4. A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind
答案:D
( ) 5. A. probably B. possibly C. likely D. able
提示:本题考查词的辨析。从语法上讲四个选项都正确，但是able用在此处语意不通;probable和possible作表语时都不用人作主语;likely作表语时既可以人作主语也可物作主语。
答案:C
( ) 6. A. While B. Now that C. As D. If
答案:D
( ) 7. A. pay B. win C. show D. fix
提示:解此题时应注意词的搭配和用法:pay attention to 和fix one’s attention on 的主语为发出该动作的人;win one’s attention 的主语为被注意的对象。
答案:B
( ) 8. A. kept B. continued C. written D. read
提示:解此题时，不妨将四个选项分别代入空格，根据语意的不同，很容易找出正确答案是D。全句的意思为:如果一封信的前几句引不起读信人的注意，那么这封信的剩余部分就不会被读下去了。
答案:D
( ) 9. A. to B. for C. into D. from
提示:从前文看，应选A。key sth.to+n.意为“调节……(使适合)”。例如:His topic was keyed to young people.(他使话题适合年轻人的口味。)
答案:A
( ) 10. A. advertisement B. instruction C. article D. introduction
答案:A
( ) 11. A. watch B. search C. study D. discussion

答案:C
( ) 13. A. working at B. asking for C. preparing for D. taking up
提示:通篇文章都讲如何在求职信中推销自己，所以A、C、D项都与上下文不符。
答案:B
( ) 14. A. graduates B. students C. experts D. professors
提示:依据后文their first position排除C、D项。找工作一般都是毕业生的事，不是在校生的事，所以正确答案为A。
答案:A

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 1 sixty hours of service learning, 2 they will not receive a diploma. Service learning is academic learning that also helps the community. 3 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. 4 a service experience, students must keep a journal（日志）and then write a 5 about what they have learned.

Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility, and as young adults, we must learn to handle both wisely.
