What makes a gift special Is it the price you see on the gift receipt Or is it the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true value What gift is worth the most
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father.My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything.I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked.The message was from my father.My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming,and underneath a poem by William Blake.The flower,a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky,inspired me.My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid.That may even be the reason why I love writing.I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back.I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift.I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.As I was arranging the details,another poem came to mind.The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe;my dad recited it as much as he did the other.I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming,and after searching I found the perfect picture.The image was painted with blues and greens and purples,twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer,the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood.I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived.The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame,I knew I had given the perfect gift.

We use emotional(令人动情的) language to express our own attitudes and feelings.We also use it to persuade other people to believe what we believe or to do what we want them to do,and,of course,other people say emotional language to us to get us to believe or to do what they want to.
We get a lot of advice,day in and day out,at home and in school, on the radio and on television.It comes from parents and teachers, from film stars and politicians,but,most of all,of course,from advertisers.Most of the advice is expressed in emotional language and is intended to excite our feelings rather than to make use of our thinking.
We should look at the intentions behind all this advice.Why do they want to persuade us What do they want us to do We will not be thinking very clearly unless we try to see through the covering of words and realize something of the speaker’s purpose.
A call to emotion is in itself neither good nor bad.Our emotions are here and they are part of our personality(个性).On some occasions,people try to excite our emotions on the highest levels and from the best of intentions.A case in point is Churchill’s wartime speeches:Whatever people thought of Churchill as a politician,they listened to him and were united behind him when he spoke as a national leader in those dark days.

America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,extending(延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality(好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they treat us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes,we,as hosts,will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants,except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!
( )12.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.
B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.
C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.
D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.
本文讲述的是中美对于友谊的不同的看法。
12.D [细节理解题。由第一段第五句“If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.”得出答案。]
( )13.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend,we will probably be
.
A.warmly welcomed at the airport
B.offered a ride to his home
C.treated hospitably at his home
D.treated to dinner in a restaurant
13.C [推理判断题。由最后一段第一句“For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants”得出。]
( )14.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean .
A.willing to spend time B.serious with time
C.careful with time D.strict with time
14.A [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“...they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.”和第二句“This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country”可知。]
( )15.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.
A.Friendships Between Chinese
B.Friendships Between Americans
C.Americans’ Hospitality
D.Americans’ and Chinese’s Views of Friendships
15.D [标题归纳题。根据第一段和最后一段可知中美对于友谊的看法是不同的。]

How and What to Study Before Exam
Study for an approaching exam.Studying hard for a few days can be tiring,but it always pays off! Most people clearly recall the fear they felt when they realized that an exam was drawing near.If you’re in this situation,don’t worry.Many people have proven that there is still enough time to study,if you do it properly.Here are some strategies to help you.
Calm down!Fear will only make your situation worse. 16 . Many times,fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam.If you are nervous,take deep breaths,keep calm and find yourself strategies to help you.
Study the most important highlighted topics first.Exams usually cover a few main ideas,concepts,or skills.When you are short of time,focus your energies on the key areas.Review the highlighted topics in textbooks and the parts your teacher stressed repeatedly.
17
Determine what subjects you don’t know enough and are not clear about. 18 The parts you know more about still need reviewing,but they will come to you more easily.So try to focus on the more challenging topics.
19 You don’t get extra points for doing it alone.Classmates can be helpful in studying,and choose someone who will be able to help you.Ask for help from your parents,brothers or sisters. 20 . From a study group,not only do you have additional help,you also have the advantage of studying with people you know well.
(2013年山西模拟卷)

C.They may really appreciate being asked.

本文主要讲述了在考试前怎样复习备考。
16.E [根据后一句话“fear can even hurt your chances of doing well in the exam”可知这里是指你的紧张会影响你考试的表现。你将会把所有的精力放在对考试的恐惧上,而不是即将到来的考试。故选E。]
17.F [根据这一段开头“Study the most important highlighted topics first”可知,书本上重点突出的内容以及老师上课重复讲的内容是考试中的重点,故选F。]
18.A [由本段开头“Determine what subjects you don’t know enough and are not clear about.”可知本段是关于自己不太擅长的内容,对于这样的部分要更认真地学。故选A。]
19.B [由第四句“Ask for help from your parents,brothers or sisters”,可知这里是指要向别人提问。故选B。]
20.C [根据前一句“Classmates can be helpful in studying”可知本段是关于合作学习的。故选C。]

语法突破——阅读理解之阅读填空题（七选五）
一、阅读填空题的特点
阅读填空题是给定一篇阅读文章,从中挖出五个空白处。一般都是句子,也可能是小标题。考生从后面的七个备选项中选出五项放回原文空白处,使文章恢复原貌。这个题型不但要求考生具备词汇、句子、语段、语篇等方面知识,而且要有辩证、综合、分析、归纳等方面的逻辑思维能力。
二、阅读填空题型分析
文章篇幅一般在250词左右,文体包括叙事、说明、议论。
阅读填空题对考生提出更高层次的要求,不仅要有阅读速度,还要对所读文章的主旨要义、具体信息有所了解,能够把握文章的写作结构和脉络层次,增强了对考生逻辑思维能力及综合运用语言的能力考查。
因此,了解这种新题型的考点、出题位置,在阅读文章时就能有意识地对文章写作思路和结构组织安排重点把握,掌握英语文章常见的几种写作结构就非常有必要。因为文章一般都是有脉可循的,所以从分析文章层次结构入手,就能找到解答此题的方法。
三、阅读填空的解题步骤
(一)快速浏览文章,了解文章大意。
注意以下几个方面:1.标题。2.文章类型(议论文、说明文、记叙文)。3.文章结构。从文章结构特点上宏观把握段与段,部分与部分之间的逻辑关系。参考依据:排版形式、大小写、特殊符号,如:●、1、2、Q&A等。
(二)细读选项,彻底理解所给选项的意思。
注意选项的形式,常见形式有陈述句、祈使句、疑问句、名词短语等。
(三)细读文章,根据具体内容并结合关键句和关键词将选项填入文中。
细读文章,抓关键段,比如:首尾段,第一段必须要读懂。关键句:首尾句、空白前后的句子。关键词:表逻辑关系、并列与递进关系、转折关系、因果关系、时间关系、例证关系、表结论和概括的信号词,重复出现的词,及表同义、近义、反义,同类事物的词,代词(指代前面提及的名词,巧妙利用这样的指代关系和根据代词的单复数差异可以准确而快速地解题)。
(四)将所选答案代入文中,再次通读全文,重点考查逻辑关系。
根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略。1.问题在段首。(1)通常是段落中心句。认真阅读后文内容,根据段落一致性原则,查找同义词或其他相关的词,推断出主题句。(2)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示,即阅读上一段结尾部分,通常正确答案与上一段结尾有机地衔接起来,并结合下一段内容,看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。2.问题在段中,重点阅读理解空白前后的句子。3.问题在段尾。(1)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句,重点阅读以锁定关键词。(2)段落间的过渡句,起到承上启下的作用。此时以下一段为阅读重点。
(五)研究多余选项,确定排除理由,最终确定答案。
高考话题:世界与环境(the world and the environment)
——保护水资源对未来生活的重要性
It goes without saying that water is the source of life.Water means the head spring to all lives on the earth.Protecting water is of great importance and necessity to life.Firstly,there will be less and less fresh water in the future,especially drinking water.We human beings will face great challenges if we do not protect it from now on.Secondly,water will play a vital role in the future,both in people’s daily life and in agriculture or industry.Finally,only by protecting our valuable water resource can we create harmony between human and nature.
