I was standing in the checkout line behind a woman who looked to be in her 60s. When it was her turn to pay, the cashier greeted her by name and asked her how she was doing.
The woman looked down, shook her head and said, “Not so good. My husband just lost his job and my son is up to his old tricks again. The truth is, l don't know how I’m going to get through the holidays.”
Then she gave the cashier food stamps.
My heart ached. I wanted to help but didn’t know how. Should I offer to pay for her groceries, ask for her husband’s resume?
As I walked into the parking lot, I spotted the woman returning her shopping cart. I remembered something in my purse that I thought could help her. It wasn't a handful of cash or an offer of a job for her husband, but maybe it would make her life better.
My heart pounded as I approached the woman.
“Excuse me,” I said, my voice trembling a bit, “I couldn’t help overhearing what you said to the cashier. It sounds like you’re going through a really hard time right now. I’m so sorry. I’d like to give you something.”
I handed her the small card from my purse.
When the woman read the card’s only two words, she began to cry. And through her tears, she said, “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
I was a little startled by her reply. Having never done anything like this before, I didn’t know what kind of reaction I might receive. All I could think to say was, “Oh my. Would it be OK to give you a hug?”
After we embraced, I walked back to my car-and began to cry too.
The words on the card?
“You Matter.”
A few weeks earlier, a colleague gave me a similar card as encouragement for a project I was working on. When I read the card, I felt a warm glow spread inside of me. Deeply touched, I came home and ordered my own box of You Matter cards and started sharing them.
24. Which of the following is TRUE according to the first three paragraphs?
A. The woman and her family were having a tough time.
B. The cashier helped the woman by giving her some food for free.
C. The woman’s family mainly depends on her son.
D. The author wondered why the cashier was familiar with the woman.
25. The woman cried when she got the card, probably because ________.
A. it could solve her present problem B. she could use it to buy food
C. it greatly encouraged her D. it could land her husband a job
26. The underlined word startled in Paragraph 10 probably means ________.
A. interested B. grateful C. ashamed D. astonished
27. From the article, we can tell that the author is ________.
A. a knowledgeable person B. a kind-hearted person

For many adolescents, “screen time” is almost a full-time job that could to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen, whether it’s a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people, studies done by Dr. Ian Michael Janssen show. “They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year,” said Janssen, a researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately, fixing the problem isn’t as easy as simply cutting down screen time, Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels,” said Janssen, Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity, he points out.
As well, screen time is not necessarily bad, Janssen said. “The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers,” he said. Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too, along with the quantity---consider the negative health messages found in food advertising during children’s shows, he said. Ideally, children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen’s real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type 2 diabetes in kids, where once there were none, hut the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
28. Which one doesn’t belong to “screen time” according to the passage?
A. Watching TV. B. Surfing the Internet.
C. Seeing a film on an MP4. D. Making a telephone call.
29. In Janssen’s opinion, kids had better ________ to keep healthy.
A. lose weight. B. decrease screen time
C. take physical activities D. go on a diet
30. What’s the researcher’s attitude towards “screen time of adolescents"?
A. Concerned. B. Passive. C. Positive. D. Frightened,
31. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. many of the people having full-time jobs suffer from obesity and diabetes.
B. decreasing screen time can’t really solve the problem
C. children today most use computers to finish their school work
D. a new type of obesity in kids becomes Janssen’s real worry
D
A 2 billion year old Martian rock appeals to have at our time been full of water from the surface of the Red Planet.
“Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That’s really exciting,” Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico, told the Associated Press.
Agee led a team of scientists who published their report on the newly discovered meteorite,nicknamed Black Beauly, The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water, and scientists believe it likely interacted with water at a time when most of the planet’s surface was believed to have been arid.
The baseball-size rock was discovered in the Sahara, and scientists say it contains more evidence of water than any of the other known Martian rock samples.
“It’s fairly fresh. It hasn’t been subjected to a whole lot of weathering,” University of Alberta meteorite expert Chris Herd told the AP.
Billions of years ago an eruption on the surface of Mars, likely caused by a volcano or planet collision, sent the rock into space, where it eventually made the journey to Earth, Agee and his team said the sample is “strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.”
Over the years, scientists have collected more than 60 Martian rock samples, with most being discovered in the Sahara and Antarctica. The new sample is much older than most of the other specimens, which are about 600 million years old or younger. The oldest known sample is an estimated 4.5 billion years old.
32. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Mara B. the Red Planet C. Black Beauty D. the report
33. Where was the meteorite found?
A. In I he Sahara. B. In Antarctica. C. In Mars. D. In America.
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Black Beauty has the size of a baseball.
B. Blank Beauty contains the most evidence of water among the known Martian rock samples.
C. An eruption on the surface of Mars sent the rock into Earth directly.
D. Black Beauty is not the oldest known sample.
35. Where can we most probably read this text?
A. In a personal diary. B. In a science report.
C. In a travel magazine. D. In a geography textbook.

【文章大意】
我站在一个看上去60多岁的女人后面的收银台前,轮到她付钱时,收银员用名字向她打招呼,问她最近过得怎么样。
这位女士低下头,摇了摇头说:“不太好。我丈夫刚丢了工作,我儿子又干起了老本行。事实上,我真不知道该如何度过假期。”
然后她给收银员食品券。
我心如刀割。想帮帮她,但又不知道该怎么做。我该为她买的东西付钱?还是索要她丈夫的简历?
当我走进停车场的时候,我发现这位女士正在归还她的购物车。我想起来我钱包里的东西可以帮助她;这不是钱,也不是一份给她丈夫的工作,但是,或许这会让她生活得更好。
当我走近这位女士时,我的心砰砰地跳了起来。
“对不起,”我说,声音有点颤抖,“我无意间听到了您跟收银员的对话。听起来你现在正经历一段非常艰难的时期,对此我很难过。我想给你点东西。”
我把钱包里的小卡片递给她。
当这位女士读到卡片上仅有的两个词时,她哭了起来。她流着泪说:“你不知道这对我有多重要。”
她的回答让我有点吃惊。以前从来没有做过这样的事,我不知道会有什么样的反应。我所能说的只有:
“哦,上帝!给你一个拥抱会好一些吧?”
拥抱之后,我回到车里哭了起来。
卡片上的单词是什么?
“YOU MATTER (你很重要)。”
几周前,一位同事给了我一张类似的卡片,为我正在从事的项目给了我鼓励。当我读那张卡片时,我感到温暖的光在我身上蔓延,让我深受感动。回到家后,我订购了一箱我自己的YOU MATTER (你很重要)卡,并开始分享它们。

For many adolescents, “screen time” is almost a full-time job that could to obesity, diabetes and other health issues, a Canadian researcher says.
Adolescents now spend an average of six hours a day in front of some type of screen, whether it’s a television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices now popular with young people, studies done by Dr. Ian Michael Janssen show. “They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year,” said Janssen, a researcher at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada. The result is a rise in obesity rates among adolescents. Unfortunately, fixing the problem isn’t as easy as simply cutting down screen time, Janssen cautions. “Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels,” said Janssen, Some active kids also spend a lot of time in front of television and computer screens, and some kids who have low screen times also have low levels of physical activity, he points out.
As well, screen time is not necessarily bad, Janssen said. “The tricky part is that children today need to be using computers,” he said. Computers are required for schoolwork, and technological skills are important for future job prospects. The quality of screen time matters too, along with the quantity---consider the negative health messages found in food advertising during children’s shows, he said. Ideally, children should aim for no more than two hours of recreational screen time a day.
Janssen’s real worry about the rise in childhood obesity rates is not that there are now rare cases of type 2 diabetes in kids, where once there were none, hut the health problems these children are likely to face in the future as adults, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease.
28. Which one doesn’t belong to “screen time” according to the passage?
A. Watching TV. B. Surfing the Internet.
C. Seeing a film on an MP4. D. Making a telephone call.
29. In Janssen’s opinion, kids had better ________ to keep healthy.
A. lose weight. B. decrease screen time
C. take physical activities D. go on a diet
30. What’s the researcher’s attitude towards “screen time of adolescents"?
A. Concerned. B. Passive. C. Positive. D. Frightened,
31. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. many of the people having full-time jobs suffer from obesity and diabetes.
B. decreasing screen time can’t really solve the problem
C. children today most use computers to finish their school work
D. a new type of obesity in kids becomes Janssen’s real worry
【答案与解析】 本文属于一篇报道,所报道的内容是:由于青少年用大量的时间看电视屏幕或电脑屏幕,从而导致肥胖、糖尿病和其他健康问题。而且强调了“减少屏幕时间不会自动增加身体活动水平”。
28. D 细节理解题,文章中涉及到的属于屏幕时间的有:电视屏幕、电脑屏幕、、年轻人流行的许多便携式设备之一(belong to “screen time”)有(television or computer screen or one of the many portable devices),没有打电话(Making a telephone call),故选择答案为D。
29. C 推理判断题,詹森说:“他们每天在屏幕前呆的时间比一年在教室里多。”(They spend more hours daily in front of a screen than they do in a classroom in a given year);故最佳答案为C。
30. A 推理判断题,研究人员对待“屏幕时间”的态度既不是被动的,也不是主动的,更不是恐吓;而是给予关注。故选择答案为A。
31. B 主旨大意与细节理解题,根据“解决问题并没有简单地减少屏幕时间那么容易”和 “减少屏幕时间不会自动增加身体活动水平”(Decreasing screen time will not automatically increase physical activity levels)得知减少屏幕时间不会解决根本问题。故选择答案为B。
【文章大意】
加拿大一位研究人员说,对于许多青少年来说,“屏幕时间”几乎是一份全职工作,可能会导致肥胖、糖尿病和其他健康问题。
伊恩·迈克尔·詹森博士的研究表明,现在的青少年每天平均要花6个小时在某种类型的屏幕前,不管是电视屏幕还是电脑屏幕,还是现在年轻人流行的许多便携式设备之一。加拿大金斯敦皇后大学的研究人员詹森说:“他们每天在屏幕前呆的时间比一年在教室里多。”詹森警告说,结果是青少年肥胖率上升。不幸的是,解决问题并没有简单地减少屏幕时间那么容易。詹森说,“减少屏幕时间不会自动增加身体活动水平,”他指出,一些活跃的孩子也会花很多时间在电视和电脑屏幕前,一些屏幕时间较低的孩子也有较低的身体活动水平。
詹森说,同时,屏幕时间也不一定不好。“棘手的是,现在的孩子需要使用电脑,”他说。计算机是学校工作所必需的,技术技能对未来的工作前景很重要。他说,屏幕时间的质量和数量也很重要,考虑一下儿童节目中食品广告中的负面健康信息。理想情况下,孩子们的目标应该是每天不超过两小时的娱乐屏幕时间。
詹森真正担心的是儿童肥胖率的上升,并不是说现在有的罕见的儿童2型糖尿病病例曾经没有。这些儿童未来可能面临的健康问题包括高血压、高胆固醇和心血管疾病。
28. 根据文章,哪一个不属于“屏幕时间”?
A. 看电视。 B.上网。
C. 在MP4上看电影。 D.打电话。
29. 在詹森看来,孩子们最好通过________保持健康。
A. 减肥。 B. 减少屏幕时间
C. 参加体育活动 D.节食
30. 研究人员对“青少年屏幕时间”的态度是什么?
A.关注 b.被动 C.主动 D. 恐吓
31. 我们可以从这篇文章中学习到________。
A. 很多全职工作的人都患有肥胖症和糖尿病。
B. 减少屏幕时间并不能真正解决问题。
C. 今天的孩子大多用电脑完成学业。
D. 儿童肥胖的一种新类型成为詹森真正担心的问题。
D
A 2 billion year old Martian rock appeals to have at our time been full of water from the surface of the Red Planet.
“Here we have a piece of Mars that I can hold in my hands. That’s really exciting,” Carl Agee, director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico, told the Associated Press.
Agee led a team of scientists who published their report on the newly discovered meteorite,nicknamed Black Beauly, The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water, and scientists believe it likely interacted with water at a time when most of the planet’s surface was believed to have been arid.
The baseball-size rock was discovered in the Sahara, and scientists say it contains more evidence of water than any of the other known Martian rock samples.
“It’s fairly fresh. It hasn’t been subjected to a whole lot of weathering,” University of Alberta meteorite expert Chris Herd told the AP.
Billions of years ago an eruption on the surface of Mars, likely caused by a volcano or planet collision, sent the rock into space, where it eventually made the journey to Earth, Agee and his team said the sample is “strikingly similar to the volcanic rocks examined by the NASA rovers Spirit and Opportunity on the Martian surface.”
Over the years, scientists have collected more than 60 Martian rock samples, with most being discovered in the Sahara and Antarctica. The new sample is much older than most of the other specimens, which are about 600 million years old or younger. The oldest known sample is an estimated 4.5 billion years old.
32. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to “________”.
A. Mara B. the Red Planet C. Black Beauty D. the report
33. Where was the meteorite found?
A. In I he Sahara. B. In Antarctica. C. In Mars. D. In America.
34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Black Beauty has the size of a baseball.
B. Blank Beauty contains the most evidence of water among the known Martian rock samples.
C. An eruption on the surface of Mars sent the rock into Earth directly.
D. Black Beauty is not the oldest known sample.
35. Where can we most probably read this text?
A. In a personal diary. B. In a science report.
C. In a travel magazine. D. In a geography textbook.
【答案与解析】 本文是一篇科学类报道,主要描述了有关在撒哈拉沙漠被发现的火星陨石----黑美人(Black Beauty)。
32. C 细节理解题,通过阅读这一段中的“… nicknamed Black Beauly, The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water? and scientists believe it likely interacted with,…”即可看出it指的是黑美人。故选C。
33 A. 细节理解题,根据第四段第一句话的前半句即可得知“The baseball-size rock was discovered in the Sahara, …”,故选A。
34. C 细节理解题,根据所给答案快速阅读文章可知文章第四段提到了“黑美人有棒球那么大(The baseball-size rock)”和“这块岩石估计含水6000PPM(The rock is estimated to have contained 6,000 parts per million water)”;文章最后一句告诉我们“已知最古老的样本估计有45亿年的历史(The oldest known sample is an estimated 4.5 billion years old)”,显然比黑美人跟古老。因此可以排除C。再者,文章没有说“An eruption on the surface of Mars sent the rock into Earth directly(火星表面的一次喷发将岩石直接送入地球)”,事实上是先“将岩石送入太空,然后才到达地球”,不是直接送入地球(几十亿年前,火星表面的一次喷发,可能是由火山或行星碰撞引起的,将岩石送入太空,并最终到达地球)。故选C。
35. B 推理判断题,文章介绍的是有关火星陨石的一些专业的知识,故选B。
【文章大意】
一块有20亿年历史的火星岩石吸引着当代的我们,它充满了这个红色星球表面上的水。
新墨西哥大学陨石学学院院长卡尔·阿吉告诉美联社记者说:“我这里有一块可以拿在手中的火星,这真的很令人兴奋”。
阿吉领导了一个科学家小组,他们发表了关于新发现的被昵称为“黑美人”陨石的报告,这块岩石估计含水6000PPM。科学家相信,这表明在这个星球大部分干燥多尘的时候,地表附近的水会发生相互作用。
这个棒球大小的岩石是在撒哈拉沙漠被发现的,科学家说,黑美人比其他已知的火星岩石样品含有更多的水的证据。阿尔伯塔大学的陨石专家克里斯·克劳德告诉美联社记者:“它相当新鲜,没有经受过太多的风化。”
几十亿年前,火星表面的一次喷发,可能是由火山或行星碰撞引起的,将岩石送入太空,并最终到达地球。阿吉和他的团队说样品“与美国宇航局‘漫游者精神号’和‘机遇号’在火星表面探测到的火山岩非常相似”。
多年来,科学家们已经收集了60多个火星岩石样品,其中大多数是在撒哈拉和南极洲发现的。新样本比其他大多数样本都要古老得多,这些样本大约有6亿年或更年轻。已知最古老的样本估计有45亿年的历史。
32. 第三段中带下划线的单词指的是“________”。
A. 玛拉 B.红色星球 C.黑美人 D.报告
33. 陨石在哪里发现的?
A. 撒哈拉沙漠 B. 在南极洲 C. 在火星 D. 在美国
34. 根据文章,下列哪项不正确?
A. 黑美人有棒球那么大。
B. 在已知的火星岩石样品中,黑美人含有最明显的水。
C. 火星表面的一次喷发将岩石直接送入地球。
D. 黑美人不是已知的最古老的样本。
35. 我们最有可能在哪里读到这篇文章?
A. 在个人日记中。 B. 在科学报告中。
C. 在旅游杂志上。 D. 在地理课本上。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多项。

When you need to someone, don’t do it in your own office. ___39___ .it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get someone out of your space even after explaining how busy you are.
If you have a door to your office, make good use of it. ___40___ .If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter. Excuse yourself and let the person know you’re busy so they can get the hint than when the door is closed, you’re not to be disturbed.

E. It’s important that you let them know when you’ll be available
F. It might seem unkind to cut people shirt when they interrupt you
G. Leave it open when you’re available to talk and close it when you’re not
【答案与解析】
36. B 属于后句暗示。根据后句there are several ways to handle things, Let’s take a look at them now可知下文是关于几种防止被打断的方法,此句和前半句构成一个完整的句子,所以答案选b。
37. A 本题能,属于后句暗示。根据后句Tell the person you’re sorry and explain that you have a million things to do and then ask if the of you can talk at a different time,主要讲述:学会在自己忙的时候去拒绝别人,故答案选A。
38. E 属于前句暗示。根据前句When people try to interrupt you, have set hours planned and let them know to comeback during that time or that you’ll find them then,可知安排好时间,让他们知道你什么时候回来,或者告诉他们,你回去找他们,这样他们就不会打断你了,故选答案选E。
39. D 属于后文暗示。根据后文it’s much easier to excuse yourself to get back to your work than if you try to get some one out of your space even after explaining how busy you are此句中it指代前文中don’t do it in your own office,作者认为不在办公室了解释更好,故选答案选D。
40. G 属于前后句暗示。根据前句If you have a door to your office, make good use of it. 和后句 If someone knocks and it’s not an important matter所说话题与“door”有关,再结合句义,所以答案选G。
【温馨提示】
这篇文章需要注意的是句子之间的逻辑关系,上下句之间都有注释性关系,要把前后句看作一个整体,体会之间的相互关系,注意把握上下文逻辑意义。
【文章大意】
当你试图完成工作时,中断是最糟糕的事情之一。当你想避免工作中的干扰时,有几种方法来处理事情。现在我们来看一下。
如果你很忙,不要因为拒绝而感到难过。告诉对方你很抱歉,解释一下你有很多事情要做,然后问对方是否可以换个时间交谈。
当试图有人要打断你的时候,你要让对方知道你已经安排好时间返回的时间,并且返回的时候你能找到对方。让他们知道你什么时候有空是很重要的。这有助于消除接下来的干扰。
当你需要某人时,不要在你自己的办公室里找。如果你在另一个人的办公室或在公共区域,你会更容易找到返回到工作中的借口,这比即使你解释了自己有多忙,让对方离开你的办公区域会更方便。如果你有通往你自己办公室的门,那就好好地利用它。
当你有机会说话的时候就把你的门打开,当不说话的时候就可以把门关上了。如果有人敲门,而且又不是什么重要的事情,你就找借口让对方知道你很忙,这样以来,不等你关门,他们就可以得到提示,你就不会被打扰了。

第二节 (共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分 )
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
China will allow all couples to have two children, —61— (give) up its decades-long one-child policy, the Communist Party of China (CPC) —62— (announce) after a key meeting on Thursday.
The change of policy is intended to balance population development and meet the challenge of an aging population, according to a communiqué —63— (issue) after the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held from Monday to Thursday. The proposal must be approved by the top legislature —64—it comes into force.
China's family planning policy was first introduced in the late 1970s —65—(control) the rapid —66—(grow) of population by limiting most urban couples —67—one child, and as to rural couples, they can have two children on condition that their first child born was a girl. The policy was later relaxed. Parents —68—were both only children in their family could have —69—second child.
The one-child policy was —70— (far) loosened in November 2013 after the Third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee, and couples are allowed to have two children if one of them is an only child.
【答案与解析】
61. giving 62. announced 63. issued 64. before 65. to control
66. growth 67. to 68. who/that 69. a 70. further
61. giving 考查分词的用法。“…giving up its decades-long one-child policy, the Communist Party of China (CPC) announced after a key meeting on Thursday.”中国共产党周四在一次重要会议后宣布,……,放弃长达数十年的独生子女政策。逻辑主语是the Communist Party of China (CPC)。现在分词表示的是逻辑主语发出的动作;过去分词表示的是被动的动作。所以此处要用现在分词形式giving。
62. announced 考查动词时态 。对周四的事情进行的报道,故用过去式announced。
63. issued 考查动词时态。对过去事情的报道,故用过去式issued。
64. before考察介词的用法,在……之前。故填before。
65. to control 考察动词不定式做目的状语的用法。China's family planning policy was first introduced in the late 1970s to control the rapid growth of population,故用to control。其目的是“……控制人口快速增长”
66.growth 考察名词。见注释65,其前面是由形容词rapid修饰的,后面是of(表示……的),意思是:人口的快速增长。故用growth。
67. to考查介词的用法。“by limiting most urban couples to one child, and as to rural couples, they can have two children on condition that their first child born was a girl.”,目的是通过将大多数城市夫妇限制在一个孩子的范围内来控制人口的快速增长,而对于农村夫妇来说,如果他们的第一个孩子是女孩,他们可以生两个孩子。故填to。
68. who/that 考查定语从句的用法。“Parents who were both only children in their family could have a second child.(父母都是家里的独生子女,可以生第二个孩子。)”定语从句中修饰表示人的引导词用who或者that。故填who/that。
69. a 考查冠词。见注释68中的“could have a second child”,表示可以生一个第二个孩子,既:二胎,故填a。
70.?that 考查比较级的用法。…farther loosened...表示更进一步地放宽了……。故用比较级further。
【温馨提示】本文考查了动词时态、分词、形容词、副词比较级、名词、冠词、介词等的用法。
【文章大意】
中国共产党周四在一次重要会议后宣布,中国将允许所有夫妇生育两个孩子,放弃长达数十年的独生子女政策。
据中国共产党十八届五中全会后周一至周四发布的一份公报称,政策的改变旨在平衡人口发展,应对老龄化人口的挑战。这项提案在生效前必须得到最高立法机关的批准。
中国的计划生育政策最早是在20世纪70年代末开始实行的,目的是通过将大多数城市夫妇限制在一个孩子的范围内来控制人口的快速增长,而对于农村夫妇来说,如果他们的第一个孩子是女孩,他们可以生两个孩子。后来政策放宽了。父母都是家里的独生子女,可以生第二个孩子。
党的十八届三中全会后,2013年11月进一步放宽了独生子女政策,其中一个独生子女允许夫妻生两个孩子

Someone asks me what on the earth happiness means? I can’t give you the exactly definition of it, and I’m sure if you love and help others, you’ll get it.
I’ll never forget an old lady. She lives a small house alone. It’s said that her husband and her son died in a traffic accident. How bitter her life is! But the old lady often helped others with a smile. Wherever it snows, she is always the first to clean the paths. She looks after several children living nearby. I am one of those.

【解析】
1.去掉the 考查固定搭配,on earth表示究竟,中间没有定冠词。
2. exactly → exact 考查形容词用法,形容词修饰名词。
3. and → but 考查逻辑关系,此处表示转折,用but。
4. lives后面加in 考查不及物动词用法,live是不及物动词,后面接宾语时要加介词in。
5. helped → helps 考查时态,本文主要用现在时态,并且often也提示了是经常发生的动作,所以用一般现在时。
6. Wherever → Whenever 考查状语从句的用法,根据句意,无论何时下雪,她都是第一个清扫道路的人。
7. those → them 考查代词的用法,此处指代上文出现过的children,故用them。
8.去掉about 考查介词的用法,tell是及物动词,后面可以直接接宾语, 此处不需要介词。
9. lucky → unlucky 考查上下文逻辑关系,根据句意,也许她是不幸的,但是我认为她是个幸福的人。
10. life后面加is 本句缺谓语,full是形容词, 不能作谓语, 所以添加系动词。

Dear Mr. Smith,
I have read your advertisement for an assistant teacher for a children’s winter camp. I’m quite interested in this position and I think my personality and experience will qualify me for the job.
I’m outgoing, energetic, well-organized and responsible. And most importantly, I love working with children! In the past two years, as the monitor in my class, I have proved myself to be an excellent helper to my teachers. I speak fluent English, which enables me to help native English teachers communicate freely and effectively with students in an English-only environment.
I will soon have a three-week winter vacation, so I have no problem working on evenings and weekends. I can start working from the end of this month. I would appreciate it if you could give me this opportunity.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Sincerely yours,
Wang Hong
