Decide to Do Well
Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.
I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you want to do ”
I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me. ” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously(叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.
Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.
Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.
11. When did the writer make the important decision
A. After he was 17 years old. B. After he was in one of the best classes.
C. When he was a pupil. D. When he was studying in Junior 3.
12. What was the writer like before the decision
A. His grades became poor.
B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult.
C. He was one of the top students in his class.
D. He did what his teachers and his parents asked him to do.
13. How did the writer make the decision
A. It was easy for him to make the decision.
B. It was his second time to make the decision.
C. He made the decision seriously.
D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.
14. Why did the writer make the decision
A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.
B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.
C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.
D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.
15. Which of the following is TRUE
A. The writer made the decision that he should work hard.
B. It took the writer several years to make the decision.
C. After hearing his mother’s words, the writer had tears in his eyes.
D. At the turning point of his life, the writer wanted to have a conversation with his mother.
【答案与解析】
I. 单项选择。
1. A。由ago可知，第一个空应该用一般过去时；动词die是短暂性动词，和一段时间连用时应该变成延续性动词去表达，因此第二句话应该变成be dead的现在完成时。故本题选A。
2. A。表示事物本身的特征用exciting；表示人的感受用excited。
3. C。there be句型的一般将来时，可以是“there will be/there is going to be”。故本题选C。
4. D。a bit of 意为“一点儿”，既可以修饰可数名词也可以修饰不可数名词；a bit 意为“有点”，用来修饰形容词副词；a few修饰可数名词；C的形式不对；故本题选D。
5. A。already用于肯定句中；yet用于否定句或者疑问句句尾。
6. D。句意“－姚明在NBA多久了？－自从2002年就在那儿了。”；询问时间的长短用how long；“自从……以来”用since。
7. B。由前后句的意思可知，此处是因果关系；排除D项。又因为空格后面是短语不是句子，因此选B。
8. D。表示去某地还没有回来用has gone to; 表示曾经去过某地用has been to; there前不加介词，故本题选D。
9. C。由a week ago可知第一个空应该用一般过去时；故排除A,B项。因为此处对主语来说是借入的，故排除D项；由句意“但是我已经把它还给图书馆了。”可知后面的空用现在完成时。故本题选C。
10. B。as soon as引导的时间状语从句遵循“主将从现”的原则，因此此处用一般现在时表将来，因为主语是第三人称单数，故本题选B。
11. B。wave to sb.意为“向某人招手”。
12. C。句意“当Eddie一个人的时候，他有时候感到孤独。”；alone意为“独自的”；lonely意为“孤独的”。
13. C。be filled with= be full of意为“充满，装满”。
14. A。be succeed (in) doing sth.意为“成功做某事”。
15. A。come over 意为“过来”；come across意为“穿过，路过，来访”；come from意为“来自”；come true意为“实现”。由句意：“嗨，李平！过来，这儿给你留了个座位。”，可知本题选A。
[真题链接]
1. D。句意：自从Rick来到中国，他已经学到了很多中国文化。本题考查引导状语从句的连词的用法。before在……之前；when当……时候；until直到……为止；since自从。由时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时可知设空处用since，引导时间状语从句，故选D项。
2. A。句意：Dick以前住在美国，但自从他搬到中国以来一直习惯吃中国菜。本题考查used的用法，used to doing sth.表示习惯于做某事或习惯于某事，to是介词，后面要跟名词、代词或动名词。而used to do sth.则表示过去常常，to后跟原形动词。
3. A。本句意为：——你喜欢我为你做的鱼吗？——我还没有吃，但是它闻起来很不错。smells闻起来； tastes尝起来； sounds听起来； feels感觉；故答案选A。
II. 完形填空。
1．C。句意为“是的，对于在法国的教育交流我过得很开心”，on此处意为“对于；关于”，故选C。
2．C。here为副词，故可排除B、D两项；由句中的was可知，arrive：应使用一般过去式，故选C。
3．B。句意为“……但一切进展顺利”，go well“进展顺利”，为固定短语．故选B。
4．A。friendly“友好的”，serious“严重的；严肃的”；strict“严格的”；hot：“热的”，句意为“我的寄宿家庭非常友好”。故选A。
5．C。make sb．do sth．意为“让某人做某事”，故选C。
