The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a White-collar job is __50__ good reason for choosing it as life's work. __51__, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large percentage of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the __52__ of young people should give serious __53__ to these fields.
Before making an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants __54__ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take __55__ for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demands as well as its rewards.

文章大意:本文是一篇议论文,论证“交不同的 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )朋友比交同类朋友更有益。”开头富有特色,通过描述自己的实际生活将读者自然地引向主题。通篇立意新颖、条理清楚,结构明晰,分三点论述,每一点都有一句统领段的主题句,展开的部分都紧扣本段论点,但方式决不雷同。引用的事例自然、贴切,语言也较生动、活泼,可谓有理有据,却不枯燥乏味,读来让人兴味盎然,相信同龄人看了更是有一种强烈的认同感。

C.how D.What
答案:A “This is b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ecause +从句”意为“这是因为……”,“This is why +从句”意为“这就是为什么……”。这两个句型中because和why引导的是表语从句。从逻辑关系上看这两个句型正好相反。前者中的“that”指代原因,后者中的“that”指代结果。This is how…“那就是……如何……的。” 本题易误选B。
3.A.true B.right
C.same D.similar
答案:D 根据后面的differen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t及下文可知选similar。true“真实的, 真正的, 忠实的”;helpful“有帮助的, 有用的”;same指“同一的”、“相同的”,常于the连用。

7.A.Therefore B.Otherwise
C.However D.Moreover
答案:D Moreover “而且 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 此外”,表示递进逻辑关系,用于句首和句中,不能用于句末。相当于besides;Therefore“因此”,表示因果关系;Otherwise“否则”;However“然而”,是过渡词,表示上下文意思的转折。本题易误选A。
8.A.lack B.abandon
C.bear D.maintain
答案:D maintain“保持”;lack“缺乏”;abandon“放弃,遗弃”;bear“负担, 忍受”。
9.A.obvious B.impossible
C.impressive D.hidden

14.A.make with B.benefit from

15.A.quarrel B.contact
C.argument D.view
答案:B contact“ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )接触,联系”;quarrel“吵架,争吵”;argument“争论,辩论”;view“观点,见解”。 本题易误选D。

People in co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mmunities have slowly been pushed apart through the years, mostly because
people simply aren’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t taking the time to say a simple “ hello. ” After considering this phenomenon, I decided I was going to 1 the way I was doing things.
My 2 came o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne morning when I was in the community library. I passed by a girl who 3 her books out of her locker. Thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, I continued my way. However, when I had to 4 because I stupidly forgot my book, I noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. No one had stopped to 5 her.
“OK,” I thought to myself, “this is where I should have changed.”
My best oppo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rtunity came a few days later when I saw a man 6 by himself waiting for the library to open, so I sat down next to him and began a 7 . It was difficult to get started, and even when I had to say goodbye, almost every 8 from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it. And who could blame him
People aren’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t used to making an 9 chat with a stranger. But a change, no matter how 10 it is needed, doesn’t just happen. It takes people like us to make it possible. I 11 you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someone’s day a little brighter. Together, we can really make society come 12 as a whole.
( ) 1. A. change B. explain C. learn D. show

文章大意:本文是记叙文。文章通过作者记叙自己在社区图书馆的经历,来劝告人们通过尝试与陌生人交流来增进彼此之间的关系。
1. C 考查动词。根据文章,作者在思考 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后,决定改变之前的行为,值得注意的是,后文即对作者的行为进行描述,会发现第三段的最后一词即为change符合前后对应原则。
2. D考察名词,一天早上,当我在社区图书馆的时候,我的…出现了。可以
通过理解打出答案
3. B 考察动词。对应后文pick up,可知小女孩之前是将书掉落,选dropped
4. C 考察短语。根据文意,作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩,说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方
5.答案C。考察动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应,所以动作也应该对应,所以选help。
6.答案A。考察动词。后文so是解题点,说明作者的动作与男人的动作一致,故选sitting。
7.答案D。考察名词。第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案,因此选chat的同义词conversion。
8.答案B 考察名词。文章说我的新朋友的每 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )…中都显示出怀疑的语气。首先joke,cry,和story文中均未提及,直接排除,选response。
9. B 考查形容词。文章说,人们对于一 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )个陌生人并不习惯于进行…的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对于陌生人的交谈很不顺利,如何开始如何结束都显得十分困难,因此本题应该选择与困难相近的词,纵观备选项unprepared未准备好的,符合文章。
10. A 考察副词,文章说,无论 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )和陌生交谈方式改变的需要无论是…,它都不会发生。此题单纯从文章理解比较困难,建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这三个选项均不是文章讨论的内容,可以排除,剩下答案desperately十分,非常地修饰这种需要的迫切程度
11. D 考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况,建议人们努力改善,答案容易得出。
12. C 对应第一段的apart, 此处应选择相对应的反义词,closer.

What are the basic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) elements(要素) of good manners Certainly a strong sense of justice is one; courtesy(谦恭) is often 36 more than a highly developed sense of fair play. A friend of mine once told me about a time he was 37 along a narrow, unpaved(未铺柏油的) mountain road. 38 was another car that produced clouds of 39 , and it was a long way to the nearest 40 highway. Suddenly, at a 41 place, the car ahead pulled off the road. 42 that its owner might have engine trouble, my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong. “ 43 ,”said the other driver, “but you’ve endured(忍受) my dust this far; I’ll 44 with yours the rest of the way.”
Another eleme ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nt of courtesy is empathy(善解人意), a 45 that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else, to understand the pain or 46 there and to do something to minimize it. A man 47 alone in a restaurant was trying to open the cap of a beer bottle, 48 he couldn’t do it because of badly injured 49 . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle, turned his back 50 and loosened the cap without difficulty. Then he 51 it again. Turning back to the man, he 52 to make great efforts to open the bottle without success. 53 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly, saying that he had managed to loosen it ----but only with a pair of pliers(钳子).
Yet another element ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of politeness is the ability to treat all people 54 , in spite of all status or importance. 55 when you have doubts about some people, act as if they are worthy of your best manners. You may also be astonished to find out what they really are.

【语篇解读】 本文为一篇记 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )叙文。文章主要讲述一天“我”为离开温暖的家而伤心难过时,祖父过来安慰“我”,并告诉“我”无论发生什么永远不要说再见。直到祖父去世时,“我”才真正明白祖父所说的“永远不要说再见”的真正含义——不要屈服于悲伤和难过。
1. A.felt   B.fixed
C.watched    D.heard
解析 根据语境可知,此处指“我”跑到后院,任泪水流淌。突然“我”感觉有只手放在“我”的肩膀上。feel感觉到,符合语境。
答案 A
2.A.watch   B.interview
C.see   D.discover
解析 此处指“我”抬起头结果看见是祖父。see强调看的结果;watch强调有意识地“观看”。
答案 C
3.A.difficult    B.hard
C.easy    D.comfortable
解析 由上文可知,祖父看到“我”因不得不离开家而悲伤难过得哭了,所以他会说“不容易是吗”,故此处应为easy。
答案 C
4.A.making   B.taking
C.leading    D.carrying
解析 根据倒数第二段最后一句话“...I took his hand as________as he had once taken mine.”可知,此处应填taking,与下文相照应。
答案 B
5.A.where    B.when
C.which    D.while
解析 “________a hug ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e red rose bush sat alone”为非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the front yard,先行词在从句中作地点状语,故填关系副词where。
答案 A
6.A.what    B.how
C.who    D.whether
解析 此处指“我”看着花不知道该说什么 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )。________to say为宾语从句,从句中缺少成分,故应用关系代词what引导,作动词say的宾语。
答案 A
7.A.red   B.tasty
C.funny     D beautiful
解析 根据下文“It isn’t just ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the roses that are beautiful,Billy.”可知,此处应填beautiful,与下文相照应。
答案 D
8.A.close   B.hard
C.far   D.around
解析 根据语境可知,此处是指祖父把“我”拉近。close符合语境。
答案 A
9.A.bought    B.planted
C.treated    D.discovered
解析 根据语境可知,此处是指当祖父的第一个儿子出生时,他种植了这些玫瑰。plant意为“种植”,符合语境。
答案 B
10.A.approach   B.method
C.way    D.solution
解析 method指相当精心安排的技术 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )技巧所构成的方法,强调以效率与精确为其目标;way为普通用语,指一般的方法,a/the way of doing sth./to do sth.意为“做某事的方法”;A、D项之后都接介词to。
答案 C
11.A.preferred    B.wanted
C.referred   D.used
解析 由下文“a terrib ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le war robbed him of his life”可知,此处为祖父过去常常看儿子摘玫瑰花给妻子,而现在无法看到了,因为战争夺去了他年轻的生命。used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”,符合语境。
答案 D
12.A.give up    B.give off
C.give in   D.give away
解析 give up放弃;g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ive off发出(气味等);give in屈服,让步;give away赠送;泄露,出卖。根据文章最后一句话“...about refusing to give in to sadness.”可知,此处应填give in,与下文相照应。
答案 C
13.A.word    B.happiness
C.sight    D.memory
解析 由并列连词and可知,空格处与前面joy相呼应。
答案 B
14.A.ill   B.weak
C.old    D.serious
解析 由下一句“Then all memb ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ers of the family were________back,and I returned to the old house.”可知,祖父这时病重。
答案 A
15.A.ordered    B.called
C.delivered    D.sent
解析 由于祖父病重,所以把家里所有的成员都叫回来。call符合语境。
答案 B
16.A.pleasure    B.duty
C.turn    D.wish
解析 此处指祖父临终前和家人作临终告白,当轮到“我”时……turn意为“轮流”,符合语境。
答案 C
17.A.happily    B.sadly
C.carefully    D.gently
解析 由第二段“Gently________my hand in his...”可知,当轮到“我”时,“我”像祖父曾经抓住“我”的手一样轻轻地抓住他的手。所以gently符合语境。
答案 D
18.A.laughed    B.shouted
C.added    D.whispered
解析 laugh笑;shout ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )喊叫,大声说;add接着说,补充说;whisper小声说,耳语。此处指“我”小声地说:“你好,祖父”。A、B、C项皆不符合语境。
答案 D
19.A.sign   B.sigh
C.smile    D.wave
解析 此处应指祖父和“我”说完话之后是含笑而终。smile符合语境。
答案 C
