Christmas Traditions
The Origin of Christmas
Since about 400 AD，Christmas Day has been celebrated on 25th December.This date was the old mid-winter festival in pre-Christian times，around the time of the longest night and the shortest day.Christmas in the 21st century has many traditions：Christmas trees，cards and presents.
Presents and shopping
Shops can make about 60 per cent of their year's income in the three months before Christmas.So most shops get ready for it in October.The shopping centres are beautifully decorated and stay open late at night.The first time this happened was in 1867 when Macy's，a famous shop in New York，stayed open until midnight on Christmas Eve(24th December)．
Trees
By mid-December，almost every house，shop and street has a Christmas tree.This tradition was started by the Germans as early as 700 AD.In the northern countries of the world，winter is cold and dark and most trees lose their leaves.The beautiful green trees decorated with lights and coloured glass balls give people hope that spring will come again.
Cards
The tradition of sending cards to friends was started in 1840 in the UK and now millions of Christmas cards and emails are sent all round the world.Cards are a good way of keeping in touch with family and friends who live far away.
Father Christmas
Father Christmas is known across the world with his white hair，red coat and big bag of toys.Young children are told that he lives in the north of Finland and makes toys for them.By tradition，he brings the toys to children at midnight，on the night before Christmas.
Food
On Christmas day a traditional meal is eaten，usually turkey(like a big chicken)and a rich，spicy cake.Some people hate Christmas.Others feel it is a magical and exciting time.They love seeing family and friends；they also love the traditions.Love it or hate it，Christmas is a time to look back over the old year—and forward to the new one.

Section A (10 marks)
The population of the United States is growing older and will continue to do so. According to a report, 39 million Americans will be 65 or older by the year 2010,51 million by 2020，and 65 million by 2030.
The “graying”of the United States is mainly due to the fact that people in the U. S. are living longer. As a matter of fact，the number of U. S. citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the population. It is also largely due to the old-growing of the“baby boomers”，the generation born after World War Ⅱ. In 1957，over 4.3 million babies were born. More than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964，the largest generation in U. S. history. In less than twenty years, millions of them will become elderly people.
The“graying”of the U. S. will greatly affect the nation's family and workforce; one likely development will be a gradual change in the family unit; it will move away from the nuclear family and towards a multi-generational family. The other likely development will be a change in the proportion (比例) of the nation's workforce. In 1989 there were 3.5 workers for every person 65 and older; by the year 2030，there will only be 2 workers for every person 65 and older.

Section B (10 marks)
Time management is a skill that can be learned. First, you need to understand how your time is spent. Keep a record for several days documenting how much time is spent in class, studying, visiting friends and family, working and eating. Take a look at the list to see ________.
Once you know how your time is spent, start a daily or weekly planner (记事簿). Put down your classes，appointments, meetings, work schedule, assignment due dates and other activities. Check the planner every day so you will know what needs to be done that day. A daily “to-do” list may assist you in knowing what needs to be done immediately.Get a copy of your school calendar and put in the important dates and holidays, so you will know when to expect tests and other important events.
In order to use your time wisely, put your assignments in a priority order with the most difficult one first.If you do your most difficult task at the beginning, it will be out of the way and the others will be easier.Be sure to schedule enough time to study and start studying in a distraction free environment.
Schedule time to allow for tests, papers, and speeches. These larger assignments may need to be broken down into smaller bits and pieces.Be sure to go over your lecture notes within a twenty-four-hour time period to keep the material fresh in your mind. Try to review your notes and any reading just before your class period so the material will be fresh in your mind.
Once you become aware of how you use your time, you will be able to manage it and do well in your studies.

综合检测(一)
1．B make the most of意为“充分利用”，为固定搭配，由此排除A、C两项。rise具体指“学习效率”，为抽象名词具体化，故前面用不定冠词a。
2．A 句意：——妈妈，别担心。医生说只是流感。——我可以松口气了。我要告诉你爸爸没有什么严重的。A项意为“可以松口气了”，符合语境。B项意为“祝贺”；C项意为“多么令人惊讶啊”；D项意为“我很抱歉”。根据句意，应选A项。
3．A 句意：——很可能会下雨。——我们在雨来之前将工作做完吧。根据问句的意思，第一句应用It's likely to rain.it指天。所以形容词不能用possible和probable。第二空构成“get＋宾语＋过去分词”句型，表示“使某事完成或解决”，故选A项。
4．A 句意：我一踏进他的办公室，Auster就伸出了手与我握手。reach out在此意为“伸出手”。
5．A 句意：由于她的伟大成就，她得到了总裁的认可。recognition“认可”；contribution“贡献”；devotion“奉献，专心”；attraction“吸引”。
6．C 句意：买旧房子时我应该注意什么问题？watch out for在此意为“密切注意，当心”。come up with提出；make up for弥补；make use of利用。
7．D 考查fit和suit的区别。fit多指衣服的大小、尺寸等合适；suit表示颜色、花样等合适。故选D。
8．B 句意：远程教育正发挥越来越重要的作用，这使得无论在何处的人们都可能受到教育。wherever，无论何地。
9．D 第一空可用sitting和seated作宾补，her与sit是主谓关系，seat与her为动宾关系；第二空用fixed作宾补，fix与her attention为动宾关系。
10．C 考查名词辨析。out of one's reach 某人够不着；out of touch失去联系；out of sight看不见。句意：要时刻记着把刀一类的危险物放在孩子够不着的地方。故选C项。
11．C 句意：当一些人说地理令人困惑并且很难学时我感到很困惑。confused表示“感到困惑的”；confusing表示“令人困惑的”。
12．B 句意：李教授观察蜜蜂的行为已经多年了，他发现它们通过跳舞来交流信息。第一空用observed表示“观察”；第二空用to dance，不定式短语作主补，表示一般情况。
13．B 句意：为了制造电脑，科学家们研究人脑如何动作。 study后接宾语从句，引导词在从句中作方式状语，故本题用how。
14．D 分析句子结构可知，题干中主语从句后置了，结合句意可知，从句中缺少原因状语，故本题选D。that引导主语从句时，不在从句中作成分，how表示方式，when表示时间，这三个选项均与语境不符。
15．B 引导词在从句中作宾语，排除C；由honesty and happiness可排除D；which引导主语从句时，通常含有疑问含义，而题干并无疑问含义，排除A，故本题选B。what在此引导主语从句，并在从句中作offers的宾语，相当于“代词＋关系代词”，即the things that，意为“……的东西”。
16．C 超市里架子上放的自然是“货物”了。
17．B 从下文得知，他们准备偷东西，所以穿“长”大衣来做掩护。四个选项中只有long与后面提到的too big有关系。
18．A 大衣长而大，穿在小孩子身上自然就觉得奇怪。young，nervous，excited与too big之间没有逻辑上的因果关系。
19．C 毕竟是做贼的，所以提醒另一人要“当心”。
20．B 开头已暗示Kate是来买米的。
21．A 按理小孩应把选中的东西放进购物篮中，但他们没有，故用instead of。
22．B 根据上文的she looked through the small open space and...，此处指动作再次重复了一遍。
23．C 这时放入袋中的显然不是前面提到过的box，而是“其他”什么东西。
24．A 购物篮中的物品两个小孩是准备付款的。
25．C 大衣的纽扣扣得整整齐齐，因为里面藏有东西，此处button是动词。
26．B 由even所表示的语气可以推知。
27．A 根据行文逻辑不难选定。
28．unless/until/before 29.a 30.their 31.for 32.every/each/an 33.where 34.warm 35.but
36．C 细节理解题。第一段中提到返校节是除毕业典礼之外的最重要的事情。
37．B 细节考查题。根据第一段的内容“Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance.”可知。
38．D 细节考查题。A、B和C项均在原文中的四、五段出现，只有D项没有提到。
39．B 词义猜测题。根据文章第五段最后一句话“It is a great honor to be chosen.”可知，vote 应与choose意义相近，意为“选举”。
40．A 推理判断题。从“All the students vote a most popular student”可知道这是学生之间的评选活动，而没有涉及“客人”或者是“队员”和“选手”。
41．C 本题考查细节理解，由第一段知圣诞节始于大约公元400年，容易得知答案为C，AD意为公元后，BC意为公元前。
42．A 根据第二段第一句易知圣诞期间营业量巨大。其他选项只是从另一个方面说明生意火爆的场面，和题干没有因果关系。
43．C 文中说这一风俗始于德国人，但A不合情理；B凭常识易排除；根据第三段最后一句可知应选C。
44．A 结合第五段及常识可知答案为A。
45．B 本题须根据文章内容做出判断，而不是自己的主观臆断。根据最后一段推知应选B。D文中未提供充分证据。
46．C 本题考查细节理解，根据第一段最后两句有关中国传统食品的介绍，用排除法不难选出C。
47．C 本题考查推理判断，由第三段内容知Father Frost和Snegoorochka在新年的前一晚上来到并把礼物放到新年树下，应推知他们和圣诞老人一样是传说中的人物。
48．D 本题考查推理判断，由第四段知Pat是泰国人。Songkran是泰国新年，又根据第一段知Miang来自泰国，故选D。
49．B 本题考查全文主旨。文中几位人物各自介绍了自己喜欢的节日，关键词应是多次出现的favorite holiday。
50．B 考查细节。A的诱答性很强，但根据第二段最后一句mainly because it is Jesus' birthday，应该选B。
51．Graying U．S. 52.By 2010 53.Causes/Reasons
54．citizens' living longer 55.Effects/Results
56．family unit change 57.workforce 58.Nuclear family 59.Workers 60.In 1989

My Teacher Mrs.Amon
Of all my teachers，Mrs.Amon is the one who impresses me most.Though she is 44，she looks very young for her age.And she's one of the most popular teachers in our school.
Compared with other teachers，Mrs.Amon pays more attention to her way of teaching.She tries various ways to make her classes lively and interesting.In her opinion，we should not only know “what”，but also understand “why”．So，instead of giving us answers immediately，she encourages us to think by ourselves whenever she puts forward questions.With her help，we've learned how to analyze and settle problems.What a wonderful world of “why” she leads us to!
She is such a learned person that we all admire her very much.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
One evening I was parked in front of the mall wiping spots of mud off my car.I had just come from the company and was waiting for my wife.She was buying presents for her mother.Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a beggar.From his looks，he had no car，no home，no clean clothes and no money.
There are times when you feel generous，but there are times that you just don't want to be bothered.This was one of the times that“you don't want to be bothered and hope he doesn't ask me for money，” I thought.But he didn't.
After a few minutes he spoke.“That's a very nice car，”he said.He dressed poorly，but had an air of dignity (尊严) around him.I said “Thanks” and continued cleaning my car.
He watched quietly as I worked.The expected plea (请求) for money never came.As the silence between us widened，something inside said，“Ask him if he needs any help.” I was sure that he would say yes，but I held true to the inner voice.
“Do you need any help？” I asked.I expected nothing but a dirty hand.He spoke three words that shocked me and I shall never forget.“Don't we all？” he said.
I needed help.Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep，but I needed help.Those three words still ring true.No matter how much you have，you need help.No matter how little you have，you can give help.
Maybe he was an angel，dressed like a beggar.Maybe the man was just a homeless beggar，but his words were reasonable.

I saw a lady with a guide dog pass my window.Before she had managed to disappear from view she stopped.After a minute or so I watched as she signalled her dog to walk forward, the dog however remained sitting and refused to move.This continued for another minute or so until I was so puzzled by it that I went out to see what was happening.Sure enough the woman was still standing and trying in vain to get the dog to move forward.
I approached and asked what the problem was.She explained that a car a few yards ahead had its tyres on the kerb(路沿)and its motor running.In a situation like this the dog is trained not to proceed but will wait for the car to either move on or have its engine turned off.As I looked at the car I was able to tell the blind lady that in fact there was no one in it.The driver had left the engine running and popped into a shop for something.I waited another 2 or 3 minutes until the driver returned and hopped into the car totally oblivious to the inconvenience he had caused.
I pointed out what had happened to the driver who seemed a little embarrassed and shot off in the car.Only a week or so later I saw the same thing.Only this time I had the answer.Once again the same blind lady and her dog were on one side of the path.The dog sat on the pavement and the lady signalling it to move forward.This time a van was parked at the side of the dirt track，the driver reading a newspaper with his engine running to keep warm.I was able to explain to the van driver what was happening and he immediately switched the engine off and the dog got up and crossed the dirt track.
A lesson to us all? It was to me and one I will never forget.

Ⅰ.1.stare 2.fare 3.footsteps 4.narrow 5.darkness 6.hesitate 7.aid 8.grateful
9．anxious 10.forecast
Ⅱ.1.A 句意：我周围数里之内除了沙漠什么都没有，连棵树都看不到。in sight看得到，符合语境。
2．A 考查动词用法辨析。句意：快速看了一眼病人之后，这名医生立即打电话叫了一辆救护车。glance at匆匆地看一眼；glare at怒目而视；gaze at(因惊讶、喜悦或有兴趣而)注视，凝视；stare at(因吃惊、恐惧等而)盯着看。结合题干中的关键词quickly和选项可知本题选A。
3．B 句意：无论你怎么读这个句子，它就是讲不通。make sense意为“有意义；讲得通”，make sense of意为“理解”。A、C两项表达错误。
4．A 本题考查名词在具体语境中的使用。句意：那些头痛的人会发现这种药物能使头痛缓解。所以A项意义符合句意，relief表示“缓解，减轻，解除”。safety表示“安全，保险”；defense表示“防御，防护”；shelter表示“掩蔽，保护”。
5．B 考查动词词义辨析。beg，“乞求，乞讨，恳求”；hesitate，“犹豫，踌躇”；desire，“渴望，期望”；seek，“试图，要求”。句意：我们为你服务。当你有任何问题时，请毫不犹豫地向我们求助。选B。

7．C 此句中的it是形式主语，动词不定式短语是真正的主语，句意：在厨房里，把你经常使用的东西放在随手可及的地方是节省时间的。within reach意为“在(某人)可触及之处”。
8．C 第二句是指“买一送一”，故此处用one表泛指，指代同一类。
9．D 句意：最近银行内所有出纳员都被要求密切注意一种叫做“HD”的假钞。A、B、C答案中均缺少相应的介词。watch out for sth.当心/留意某物。
10．B find sb.doing sth.＝sb.be found doing sth.发现某人在做某事，在“find＋宾语＋宾语补足语”结构中，宾补不用动词原形充当。如宾语和宾补存在逻辑上的主谓关系，用动词-ing做宾补；如表示动宾关系，则用动词-ed做宾补，题干he和smoke之间为主动关系，故选B项。
11．D remember doing sth.记得做过某事；remember to do sth.记得要做某事，由语境可知排除A、B两项；又由I与take为被动关系可知答案为D。
12．A 句意：一直以来，人们对地球上的生命究竟是如何开始的很感兴趣。be curious about对……感兴趣/好奇，符合句意及句子结构的要求。be excited about对……感到兴奋不已；be anxious about担忧；be careful about注意，小心。
13．C 考查非谓语动词作状语。句意：他起晚了，匆忙赶往办公室，早餐都没动。he与leave为主谓关系，排除A，由句意可知，此处表示谓语动作自然而然的结果，故应用现在分词的一般式。不定式也可以作结果状语，但不定式表示出乎意料或不好的结果。
14．A 考查“too...to...”结构。句意：那个售货员早上起得很早，因为她一直都很忙，没时间好好休息一下。too...to...表示“太……而不能……”，符合句意和句子结构的要求，不定式短语在句中作结果状语。
15．A 句意：你对失败的反应对将来的生活有影响。make a difference in sth.对……有影响，为固定搭配。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Sydney－A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month.
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon，on Sydney's northern beaches，around dawn when he was attacked.The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months.
“The father heard a scream and turned to see his son thrashing (激烈扭动) about in the water，”police said.“Fortunately，the shark swam away and the boy was helped to the shore by his father.”
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller said，“It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water.”He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to the shore.“There was a lot of pain，as you could imagine.”The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries.
Police said the bites “cut through to the bone”，but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures(骨折)．He was in a stable condition now.
Several beaches were closed after the attack.Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark，while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks.But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy.“I don't even know if he saw it.”Miller said.
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches，but attacks on humans are still relatively rare.However，there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month，one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor，not far from the famous Opera House，and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach.
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise.There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor，which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment，attracting sharks closer to the shore as they chase fish.Many shark species，including the Great White—the man-eaters made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters.
1．The report mainly tells us ________.
A．shark attacks on humans are on the rise
B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
2．The underlined word“savaged”in the first paragraph probably means“________”．
A．attracted B．dragged
C．bit D．packed
3．What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia.
B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House.
C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all the year round.
D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches.
4．About the injury of the boy we know that ________.
A．he was losing much blood when he was dragg-
ed out
B．he was very nervous when he was sent to hospital
C．he may be in danger of losing his leg
D．he was injured in the right leg

“Happiness Advantage” Effect
(2013·湖南师大附中高一期末)In July 2010 Burt's Bees, a personal-care products company, was going through big change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of high-pressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings. In doing so, managers lift everyone's anxiety level, which is responsible for effective problem solving.
Burt's Bees's then-CEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he'd send out an e-mail that praises team members for work related to global marketing. He'd remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company's values. He asked his managers to hold another three-hour meeting on happiness with employees in the course of the expansion effort. Wolfgang's emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.
That outcome shouldn't surprise us. Research shows that when people work with a positive mind-set(思维模式), performance on nearly every level—productivity, creativity，—improves. People who have a positive mind-set perform better in the face of challenge. I call this the“happiness advantage”—every business outcome shows that it has been improved when the brain is positive. I've observed this effect in my role as a researcher and lecturer in 48 countries on the connection between employee happiness and success. In an analysis of 225 academic studies, researchers found strong evidence of cause-and-effect relationship between life satisfaction and successful business outcomes.
A common misunderstanding is that only our genetics, our environment, or a combination of the two determines how happy we are. To be sure, both factors have effects. But one's general sense of happiness is surprisingly unstable. The habits we form, the way we interact with colleagues, how we think about stress—all these can be managed to increase our happiness and our chances of success.

Ⅰ.1.attracted 2.panic 3.contrary 4.likely 5.employ 6.suits 7.attach 8.bite 9.whispered 10.disability
Ⅱ.1.C 考查冠词。句意：安喜欢和人保持一定的距离。所以，在和她交谈之前，很多人都要认真思考一下。keep sb.at a distance与某人保持一定的距离；think twice三思。
2．A 根据妈妈说的话可知，妈妈说话也不会大声，whisper sth.to sb.对某人小声说某事。shout to sb.对某人大声喊；explain sth.to sb.向某人解释某事；reply to sb.回答某人，均不符合句意。
3．A get into a panic表示“陷入恐慌状态”。句意：甲型H1N1流感在我国爆发时，许多人恐慌不安，但不久形势便在控制之中了。
4．A 句意：研究表明，如果人们总是长时间坐在电脑前，他们很可能产生背部问题。所填的词作表语，主语是人，四个选项中possible和probable也都表示“可能的”，但它们作表语时主语只能是物；sure在此处意思不恰当。因此，答案是A。
5．B 句意：——我再也不去这家餐馆了。食物太难吃了！——我也不会去了。“neither/nor＋系动词/助动词/情态动词＋主语”表示同样的情况也适合另一人。A项的am不对。
6．B 考查动词的时态和语态。句意：据说她毕业以后就受雇于一家电脑公司。employ雇佣，和主语构成被动关系；又根据since graduation可知时态应该选用完成时。故答案为B。
7．D 考查强调句型。被强调部分为years of hard work，故选D项。
8．B 考查倍数表示法。句型为：倍数＋as...as...。故B项正确。
9．A 此题考查fit，match，suit三个动词的区别。fit指“尺寸吻合”；match指“和……相配，和……较量；和……相比”；而suit意为“(颜色、服装等)相配，合身”，故答案为A。
10．A taste是系动词，所以要用形容词good作其表语。well作形容词时，意思是“健康的”。故答案是A。句意：这些橘子尝起来味道很不错。
11．D 此题考查名词性从句。句意：你是否喜欢他与我无关。whether意为“是否”，引导主语从句。
12．B what引导的从句作介词from的宾语。在从句中，what作表语。句意为“我们学校和以前完全不同了”。
13．C 句意：这衣服太大了，根本不适合我。beautiful“美丽的”；lost“失踪的”；loose“宽松的”；kind“善良的”。根据句意C项符合句意。
14．B 此题考查compare的用法。compare...to/with...意为“与……比较”。句意：如果把她与许多妇女相比，她的确非常幸运。故答案为B。
15．B 句意：——你打算参加演讲比赛吗？——________机会难得，不容错过。由语境中的“机会难得，不容错过”可推断出，空处应表示“肯定要参加”。比较选项可知，表示“毫无疑问；当然；肯定”的“That's for sure”符合语境，即答案为B。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一则新闻，一个男孩在悉尼的一个海湾冲浪时遭到鲨鱼攻击，这已经是本月第三次鲨鱼袭击人的事件了。此地禁渔令的实施以及环境的改善使鱼的数量上升，鲨鱼在捕食过程中也越来越多地随着它的食物靠近海岸。
1．C 主旨大意题。文章第一段是主旨段，特别是从文章第一段第一句“A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23.”可知答案。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Kids may need to apologize if they do something wrong－like telling a lie or breaking a rule on purpose.When they do something their parents tell them not to do，or they don't do something they are supposed to do，they apologize，too.
Grown-ups can apologize，too—to other grown-ups or even to kids.After all，even grown-ups make mistakes sometimes.By apologizing when they're wrong，grown-ups can set a good example and show kids how to do the right thing and apologize when they need to.
Saying “I'm sorry” when you need to is the right thing to do.It does a lot of good.But by itself，it might not be enough to make everything all better again.Sometimes along with an apology，a person needs to fix the mistake or promise to do better.Sometimes doing a nice thing for the person after you apologize helps show that you really are sorry and want to be friendly again.
Sometimes a heartfelt (由衷的)“I'm sorry” fixes everything right away.Other times，it might take a while for someone to feel friendly after you apologize.You might need to give the other person some time.Even after you say you're sorry，you might still feel bad about what you said or did－but you can feel good about apologizing and about making up your mind to do better.
When someone apologizes to you，you might not feel like being friendly again right away.Once in a while，if a person doesn't change，you might not want to be friends anymore.You might feel glad that the other person apologized and admitted being wrong.But if someone keeps behaving in mean ways or does something that keeps hurting，you might not feel the same way anymore.Someone apologizes to you；it doesn't mean you have to be friendly again.That part is up to you.
1．The first paragraph is mainly to tell us that ________.
A．kids often make mistakes at school
B．parents often force kids to do something
C．apologizing to others is rather difficult
D．it is common for people to apologize to others
2．The writer suggests that grown-ups should set a good example of ________.
A．working hard
B．making an apology
C．doing good deeds
D．making mistakes

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.1.puzzled 2.recognized 3.volunteers 4.ignored 5.reduced 6.sniffed 7.analyse
8．sweat 9.firmly 10.approach
Ⅱ.1.A 句意：哦，我看到他就停下来冲他微笑，但是他没理我就走了。ignore不理睬，忽视；refuse拒绝；deny否认；miss怀念，错过。
2．D 句意：她停止哭泣，抽着鼻子，擦干眼泪。breathe意为“呼吸”；sign意为“叹息”；smell意为“闻，嗅；察觉”；sniff可专指哭泣时“抽鼻子”。
3．B reduce为及物动词，costs应为被减少，所以要用被动语态，排除A、C两项。另外“减少了”或“增加了”后面的百分数前要用介词by，to用在“减少到”或“增加到”后面的具体数字前。故B项正确。
4．D although引导让步状语从句，表示“虽然”，符合本句句意。A项as引导让步状语从句时，必须用倒装语序；B项once为“一旦”的意思；C项if引导条件状语从句。
5．D 由本题题干中的“When I was young”可知后面的句子应用一般过去时。因此B、C两项明显不合题意，在A、D两个选项中，A项是there be句型的过去将来时用法；used to是表示过去持续的状态，客观地陈述了当时的状态，故选D。
6．C 句意：一听到矿难的消息，她的脸就变白了。该题考查的是系表结构“go＋adj.”。get和change不能与pale搭配来表达这一状态的变化，而appear是表示状态存在的系动词。
7．D 考查动词辨析。want不接宾语从句，另外三个词都可以接从句作宾语，但是从对话的第二句可以看出前一句是征求意见，只有suggest最符合语境。
8．C 句意：专家们认为必要的时候才购物可以减少食物的浪费。分析结构可知，此处是experts believe...作主句，空格处引导宾语从句，从句不缺少成分，故用that。why在句中作原因状语；where作地点状语；what作主语、宾语或表语。故正确答案为C项。分析清楚句子结构是解题关键。
9．D 句意：新组建的委员会的政策是否会付诸实施还有待观察。该句包含一个由whether引导的主语从句“whether the newly formed committee's policy can be put into practice”，该主语从句不缺成分，所以排除B和C；由语境中的remains to be seen可知，“是否实施新政策”还有待观察，所以此处要用whether。故选D。
10．B 句意：要取得最高层次的成功，唯一的方法就是要完全相信在体育运动领域你比其他任何人都优秀。have total belief that...完全相信……，为固定句式。此处belief后接了同位语从句，从句不缺少成分，用that引导，所以正确答案为B项。
11．B 分析句子结构可知________comes是主语从句，“no matter＋疑问词”不能引导名词性从句，排除C和D；whatever无论什么；whoever无论是谁，所以选B。
12．C 句意：地球这些年在逐渐变暖这个事实令许多科学家担忧。此处that引导同位语从句，从句解释说明fact的具体内容。
13．B 句意：你为什么不让他注意到你病得无法继续工作这一事实呢？it在此作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后置的从句that you're too ill to work on。
14．A 因为2020年奥运会举办的城市未定，所以用whether引导主语从句。if虽也有“是否”的意思，但它不能引导主语从句。C、D两项不合题意。
15．D 本题中因为主语是the question，含有疑问的意味，所以排除A、B两项。而表语从句只能用whether引导而不能用if，所以选D。
Ⅲ.1.D 从全文看作者的父母很重视孩子的教育，他们在孩子很小的时候就教育他们要尊重他人。raise意为“培养”。
2．C 根据下文作者对父母的描述可推断他们不会不给作者鼓励的。
3．A 根据前面的encouragement可知，此处表示“当我在生活中遇到难题时。”
4．C 根据后句“After all，both of them are college students.”可知，父母都期望作者上大学；expect sth.of sb.“对某人有……期望”。
5．B 根据后文作者对父母的感激可知父母从来没停止过对她的爱。
6．A 根据persuaded me not to do that可知，作者放弃了那个愚蠢的想法。
7．D 父母是作者之所以最后上大学的理由。
8．A 从后边的tell me they are proud of me可知父母很高兴。
9．C 根据句中的．..get an “A”on a project判断，这些学生想与他人分享自己的快乐。
10．B 根据前面的内容可以推断作者和父母相处得很好，但这并不是说他们之间没有问题。
11．A 虽然也有矛盾，但令人欣慰的是他们还是设法解决了问题。
12．D 根据前面的they are proud of me可知作者希望自己能继续使父母骄傲。
13．So 14.it 15.could 16.in 17.As 18.too 19.which 20.more
Ⅳ.1.D 作者在第一段列举了孩子们需要道歉的若干情况，从而告诉读者向别人道歉是一种常见的现象。
2．B 根据句中的apologizing等信息可知，作者建议成人树立道歉的榜样。
3．D 根据第三段中的Saying “I'm sorry” when you need to is the right thing to do.It does a lot of good很明显可以看出，代词it指代saying “I'm sorry”。
4．A 根据第五段中的You might feel glad that the other person apologized and admitted being wrong可以推知，当朋友伤害了你，你想让他/她承认“我错了”。
5．C 本文介绍了“道歉”的必要性、技巧及其产生的效果，很明显，这些话题是有关“交际”的范畴，故C项为最佳答案。
