Although problems are a part of our lives,it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or another,you’ll have to stand up and say—problems,I don’t want you in my life.
1 Problems with friends,parents,girlfriends,husbands,and children—the list goes on.Apart from these,the inner conflicts within ourselves work,too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk and it really helps.What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 2 Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 3 When you write down your problems,you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this,imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life,don’t lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money,family...you should still have faith. 4
Your problems aren’t the worst.No matter what problem you get in life,there are another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 5 Your problems might just seem big and worse,but in reality they can be removed.

B.When we have a problem,a pressing,critical,urgent,life-threatening problem,how do we try and solve it

I never expected to go to the University of Michigan.I grew up in a small Midwest town where college wasn’t 1 by any means.Many students entered the workplace straight out of high school.For a long time,that’s where I thought I would end up.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。本文主要介绍了如何处理生活中遇到的问题。一个人从出生就开始跟麻烦打交道,遇到问题并不可怕,问题是可以被解决的。
1.A 上文“Although problems are a part of our lives...you’ll have to stand up and say—problems...”点出本文的话题是生活中的问题,空格处承上启下,下文“Problems with friends,parents,girlfriends,husbands,and children—the list goes on.”说明生活中的问题贯穿着人的一生,A项中的troubles和problems对象一致,“since we were born”时间线与下文不同人生阶段中问题的对象一致。故选A项。
2.D 上文说明本段的话题是talk,大多数人持有反对观点,下文“Talking helps you move on and let go.”观点相反,交谈能帮助你继续前进,放下过去。推测空格处观点发生转折,D项出现but 连词,且对talk是支持态度。故选D项。
3.C 上文“Write your problems.”为本段中心句,下文“When you write down your problems,you are setting free all the tension from your system.”说出写出问题的意义,C项中“Having a personal diary”与上文一致,用一本私人的日记来写下问题。故选C项。
4.G 上文点出本段主题是要有信心和希望,空格在段落末尾,总结本段,选项中“With faith and hope...”关键词重复,概括段落。故选G项。
5.F 上文围绕your problems展开,下文“Your problems...but in reality they...” 话题指代你的问题。F项前半段“Tell yourself:when they can deal with them”,其中yourself和they指代与上下文一致,代词them代指problems,上下呼应。故选F项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们,生活中的困难教会我们独立和有责任心,我们要尝试自己从来没有想过能做的事情。
1.C 根据后文“Many students entered the workplace straight out of high school.”可知,许多学生高中一毕业就直接进入职场,由此可知,作者不指望能上大学。故选C项。
2.B 根据第三段倒数第二句“I did the application all by myself.”可知,此处指作者开始申请大学。故选B项。
3.A 根据本句中的“required grades”及“the ACT(American College Testing)”可知,作者达到所要求的成绩和ACT分数(scores)。此处“grades”与“scores”同义。故选A项。
4.D 根据上文中的 “I had the required grades and the ACT(American College Testing) ,but I came from a town of nowhere.”可知,作者达到了大学的申请条件,但觉得自己来自一个不知名的小镇,因此心情矛盾。故选D项。
5.D 根据后文“Now that the opportunity was open to me,I decided to go.”可知,作者最终上了大学,故信封上的字应是“祝贺”。故选D项。
6.C 根据下文的“scholarships”可知,作者得到了助学金和奖学金,即经济上的援助。故选C项。
7.B 根据上文可知,作者获得了经济上的帮助,这推动了作者决定去上大学。故选B项。
8.A 根据后文“it would just be considered a waste of ”可知,此处表示无论作者投入多少,作者感觉都是在浪费时间。故选A项。
9.D 根据前半句和句意可知,作者认为无论自己投入多少,都是在浪费时间。故选D项。
10.A 由后文“I did the application all by myself.”和“the lack of support...”可知,因为作者自己申请大学,又要自己挣钱支付自己的开销,所以作者觉得自己缺少支持。故选A项。
11.B 根据后文“and bills”可知,作者做两份工作来支付生活必需品和账单。故选B项。
12.C 根据后一句中的“But”可知,作者认为自力更生不容易,但却从中受益匪浅。故选C项。
13.D 根据后文“which taught me to be and responsible in hard times”可知,因为这段时期教会了作者要负责任,所以作者感激这段时期。故选D项。
14.A 根据空后“and responsible in hard times”可知,此处指在困难时期要独立和负责任。故选A项。
15.B 根据后文“to try things I never thought I would ever be able to try”可知,因为要尝试自己从未想过能够尝试的事情,所以此处指超越预期。故选B项。Unit 3分层跟踪检测(三)Developing ideas & Writing

I was never very neat,while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.Each of her objects had its place,but mine always hid somewhere.She even labeled(贴标签) everything.I always looked for everything.Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier.She would push my dirty clothing over,and I would lay my books on her tidy desk.We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening.Kate came into the room.Soon,I heard her screaming,“Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!” Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.I jumped to my feet and started yelling.She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger.We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call.Kate answered it.From her end of the conversation,I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill.When she hung up,she quickly crawled under her covers,sobbing.Obviously,that was something she should not go through phone.All of a sudden,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly,I collected the pencils,took back the books,made my bed,cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side.I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up.She was watching,her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief.Then,she reached out her hands to grasp mine.I looked up into her eyes.She smiled at me,“Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year.We didn’t always agree,but we learned the key to living together:giving in,cleaning up and holding on.

Ⅶ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day,my brother and I were alone in our apartment.The reason was that my parents had both gone for a ball party and had left me in charge of everything.I was doing my homework while my younger brother was watching TV.All of a sudden,the doorbell rang.Ding-dong!Ding-dong!My younger brother had rushed to the door before I decided to answer the door.We both thought that our parents had come home.As a result,he unlocked the door and opened it.
Outside of the house stood a man who wore a black raincoat and black rubber boots.He looked no different from other people and he said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home so he could talk with them.
Without any thinking,my brother said,“No.” He asked if we would like to buy some comic books,which he was selling.I quickly explained to him that we were not supposed to buy anything without our parents’ permission.However,it seemed that he was not willing to follow my advice and he had an intention(意图) to enter our house.
Then,I realized something terrible would happen.As I was about to close the door,he forced his way into(硬闯) our house.He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with some rope which he took out from his pocket.I tied up(绑上) his hands but I tied in a special way so my brother could untie(解开) himself as we often did.The man then tied my hands up and locked both of us in the kitchen.
Soon,he went upstairs to search the bedroom for something valuable.I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands.He then untied me.I rushed to the telephone to call the police,but the line was dead.The doors were all locked from the outside and what’s worse,I did not have the keys.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Luckily,the man forgot to lock the kitchen window.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。作者与室友生活习惯迥异,冲突在所难免。在室友遭遇悲痛之时,作者以实际行动表达自己的同情,从而和好。作者从中懂得一个道理:让步、整理房间和坚持是处理室友关系的关键。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I heard her screaming,‘Take your shoes away!Why under my bed!’ Deafened,I saw my shoes flying at me.”可知,室友生气是因为作者乱丢乱放的鞋子。故选D项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中“All of a sudden,a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.”可知,作者整理房间是出于对室友悲伤的同情而表达自己的关切。故选D项。

3.to blame 考查非谓语动词。sb.be to blame是固定短语,意为“责怪某人”,是不定式的主动表示被动。故填to blame。
4.Fortunately 考查副词。空格处用副词修饰整个句子,fortunate的副词是fortunately,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Fortunately。
5.has offered 考查时态和主谓一致。由“in the past few years”可知,句子时态是现在完成时,主语the National Ranking of Academic Subjects是单数。故填has offered。
6.The 考查冠词。空格处用定冠词the特指前面的“the National Ranking of Academic Subjects”,且位于句首,首字母大写。故填The。
7.included 考查非谓语动词。空格处是独立主格结构,achievements和include之间是被动关系,因此空格处用过去分词included,表示被动。故填included。
8.with 考查介词。compare with是固定短语,意为“和……相比”,因此空格处是介词with。故填with。
9.that/which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,先行词universities是物,因此空格处用关系代词that或which引导。故填that/which。
10.holding 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空格处是with复合结构,subjects和hold之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词,表示主动。故填holding。

Ⅶ.Luckily,the man forgot to lock the kitchen window.Both my brother and I managed to get out of the house through the window with joy and we ran to the nearby police station,nervously but happily,where we asked them for help.The police bravely arrived at our house as soon as possible.And as a result,the man was caught,which made us very happy.
Just at the same time,our parents came back home.The police asked my family to go to the police station.It was at there the police told us that the man was a wanted robber pretending to sell comic books and they had been looking for him for a long time.The police praised my brother and me for our braveness.Back home,I told my parents the whole story about the robbery with a mixture of excitement and happiness.They were thankful that we were not hurt but they scolded me for not stopping my brother from opening the door to strangers.I learned a lesson on safety and responsibility.Unit 3分层跟踪检测(一)Starting out & Understanding ideas

According to a new research,the more people in a country who have a particular gene(基因),the happier the nation will be.This DNA is known as the FAAH gene.People with a particular version of it tend to be cheerier souls.There is a link between levels of the FAAH gene and the number of people who say they are very happy.
Sweden—one of the happiest countries in the world—also has lots of happy DNA.Ghana,Nigeria,Mexico and Columbia all come out near the top in the happiness league,and have high rates of the gene.In contrast,the people of Iraq,Jordan and China are among the least likely to rate themselves as very happy and also have the lowest level of the FAAH gene.
However,wealth and health are found to have little effect on happiness.The finding could help explain why some of the world’s poorest nations are also the happiest.In addition,the FAAH gene and an optimistic attitude would not always go hand in hand.For example,Russians and Estonians score very low in happiness,despite having the right happy DNA.
Professor Michael Minkov said,“The climate condition is associated with the nation’s happiness.We can notice the high occurrence of the FAAH gene in tropical(热带的) areas in the Americas and Africa.And the occurrence of the gene around the Mediterranean Sea is much lower than that in Northern Europe.”
The social experts say that genetics is not the only determinant(决定因素) of happiness.The economic and political difficulties in some nations also contribute to the very low happiness scores.Nations that are not blessed with the right DNA aren’t necessarily miserable.
4.The new study shows that .
A.happiness is in your genes
B.human body is made up of DNA
C.the FAAH gene will make people sad
D.most people are satisfied with their lives
5.What does the underlined part “go hand in hand” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Walk with friends.
B.Be closely related.
C.Disappear from hands.
D.Fight against each other.
6.What affects happiness according to Michael
A.Money.
B.Health and fitness.
C.Differences in climate.
D.The number of population.

5.B 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“For example,Russians and Estonians score very low in happiness,despite having the right happy DNA.”可知,拥有FAAH基因并不总是与幸福感有关系,故画线部分“go hand in hand”短语应理解为“与……有关系”,解释说明FAAH基因与乐观快乐的生活观念之间的关系。故选B项。
6.C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“The climate condition is associated with the nation’s happiness.”可知,影响一个国家的整体幸福感的因素是气候状况。故选C项。
