While it's always a good time to visit Disneyland, there are times during the year that are better than others.Holidays, school schedules and yearly passholders greatly affect Disneyland's schedule.For example, Disneyland has a large number of locals.Many of those locals are yearly passholders, who think of the fantasy amusement park as their second home.They pop in for a few hours here or there—maybe on a weekday, or on a spring or fall Sunday morning before heading to the beach.
Since the Happiest Place on Earth can be also one of the Busiest Places on Earth, it's helpful to have some tips in play when you hit the park.Here, we're outlining the best times to visit Disneyland in 2018.
Weekdays in January (minus the week of New Year's Day)
Weekdays in February (minus the days around President's Day)
The first few days in March (until March 9, 2018)
Weekdays in the second half of April 2018
Weekdays in May
The last two weeks of August
The first half of September
Mondays through Thursdays in November (minus the week of Thanksgiving)
Mondays through Thursday during the first half of December
If you're planning a visit, but don't see your particular dates here, click the comments below.We will be happy to provide answers.And our Disneyland Crowd Calendar is also available on line.It is a helpful tool to help you get an idea of expected crowds in advance.
1．Which of the following has little influence on Disneyland's schedule?
A．Holidays. B．School schedules.
C．Seasons. D．Annual passholders.
2．What is the best time for a visit to Disneyland during the summer vacation?

Last year, around Labor Day, I read a “Happy Ad” in our local newspaper.There was a lady in a local nursing home for the aged, who was celebrating her 90th birthday and her family wanted everyone to know about it.It said that if you wanted to drop her a line, here was her address.So I did.I found a birthday card and dropped her a short note, wishing her a happy birthday.
A week or so later, someone knocked at my front door.I opened the door and found a middle-aged man standing on my doorstep.He introduced himself as the son of this woman to whom I had sent the card.He explained that he just wanted to drop by in person and thank me for sending such a nice card to his mom.Apparently, like many older folks, she did not receive much mail and was quite excited to receive mine.I just didn't know what to say.I told him it was my pleasure and that I hoped his mom had enjoyed her birthday.
That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home.I just told her that I was thinking about her and hoped that she had a nice holiday.I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes in between.I just thought she might like to have someone write to her, to get some mails.
She passed away a couple of months ago.I never met this lady, but I did keep her and her family in my thoughts.I dropped them a line of sympathy.I hope that my few little notes were enough to brighten a couple of her days here on earth.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者两次寄贺卡给一位养老院里的老太太，给老人带来快乐的故事。
4．C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There was a lady in a local nursing home for the aged，”可知，这位老太太生活在当地的一个养老院里。故C选项正确。
5．D 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，作者在老人生日的时候寄给老人一张卡片。由第三段中的第一句“That year, I did not send out any Christmas cards, except to this lovely old lady in the nursing home.”和“I sent her a holiday card and also a couple of notes in between.”可知，作者在圣诞节那天又寄给老人一张卡片。故D选项正确。
6．C 推理判断题。根据作者两次给老人寄卡片，且根据最后一段中的“I dropped them a line of sympathy”可知，作者对他们表示同情。由此可知，作者是一个非常具有同情心的人。故C选项正确。

While both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, it's good to know there are some differences in culture.If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.
One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(感知)time and space.For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.This is probably because America is a fairly young country.However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2，000 years old.However, perception of distance seems to be the opposite.While Europeans would consider 100 kilometers a long way to drive, Americans would think twice.This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.
Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(传动)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器)．European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped.Trucks and limousine are vehicles that American enjoy.In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.
The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition.In fact, it is just expected for children to attend college there and not a privilege(特权), as in the United States.
8．The author wrote the first paragraph mainly to________．
A．tell the differences between Europe and America
B．advise people to travel to Europe and America
C．introduce the topic of this passage to the readers
D．persuade people to live in a European country
9．Which of the following shows the Americans' perception of time?
A．An ancient house has a history of 200 years.
B．Europe has been at least 2，000 years old.
C．A hundred kilometers is a long way to drive.
D．It is proper to drive a speed of 100 kilometers.
10．It can be concluded from the last paragraph that________．
A．Americans are richer than Europeans
B．Americans work harder than Europeans
C．the children in Europe needn't go to school
D．it costs Americans a lot of money to go to college
11．The author develops this passage by__________．
A．arguing B．persuading
C．comparing D．doubting
答案与解析
这是一篇说明文。美国和欧洲诸国虽然同属西方世界，但在文化上很多方面有明显的差异，本文主要讲述他们在对时空的理解、汽车和教育等方面的不同。
8．C 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.”可以推知，文章第一段是为了引出本文的话题。这篇文章目的是向美国读者介绍去欧洲国家旅行时的一些有用的信息。故选C。
9．A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient.在美国，有200年历史的房子会被认为是古老的。”可知，这表现出美国人的时间观。故选A。
10．D 细节理解题。根据末段中的“In America, parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college.在美国，父母可能会存很多年的钱，甚至还会负债，为他们的孩子支付大学学费。”可知，美国人上大学要花很多钱。故选D。
11．C 推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句“One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(感知)time and space.”，第三段的第一句“Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States.”，第四段的第一句“The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.”这些句子都是各自所在段落的大意，每段的内容都是用比较的方法来阐述的。故选C。
Ⅳ.短文改错
It is almost five years since I begin to learn English.I'm glad to say I'm getting along good with it.But first I came across a lot of difficulties.I couldn't pronounce English words well, so could I remember the words I had learned.I couldn't even understand that the teacher had said in class.When I almost lost heart, the teacher told me, “Keeping on, and you'll do well.” I was greatly encouraged.I started working hard at English.Under the help of him and my classmates, I've made a great progress.I am very pleasing and I'll work even hard in future.
答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者学英语五年了，但是起初的时候遇到了很多的困难，后来在老师的帮助下，英语取得了很大的进步。
1．考查动词时态。根据句型：It is/has been＋时间段＋since＋一般过去时，“自从……以来已经多久了”可知since后用一般过去时，故begin→began。
2．考查副词。短语get along well with“与……相处融洽”，故good→well。
3．考查介词。句意：起初的时候我遇到很多的困难。可知此处应该使用介词短语at first“首先；起初”，故在first前加at。
4．考查连词。句意：我既不能很好地发英语单词的音，也记不住学过的单词。根据句意可知，此处表示两者的否定“既不……也不……”应用not...nor/neither...，故so→nor或neither。
5．考查连接词。本句为宾语从句，关系词在从句中作动词said的宾语，意为“什么”，所以应使用关系代词what。故that→what。
6．考查祈使句。引号内的句子为祈使句，所以应该使用动词原形开头。故Keeping→Keep。
7．考查介词。短语with the help of 意为“在……的帮助下”，为固定用法。故Under→With。
8．考查冠词。短语make great progress“取得巨大进展”中间没有冠词，故去掉a。
9．考查形容词。句意：我非常高兴……。主语I为人，应用-ed结尾的形容词修饰，故pleasing→pleased。
10．考查形容词比较级。句意：……将来我会更加努力学习。根据上文的程度副词以及句意可知应用形容词比较级，表示未来与现在状况的比较“更加努力”，故hard→harder。

Once a child reaches their teenage years, many parents may think it is too late to help them change a negative attitude.This is not the case, and while it may take longer, it is possible to help your child develop a positive attitude.Having a positive attitude is important to a teenager's happiness and success.__1__
Judge your own attitude.__2__Teens watch their parents and how they react to certain experiences and events.Children learn a good part of their belief system from their parents.Therefore, a parent's attitude and a loving home environment are important to help develop positive attitudes in teens.
__3__This is the little voice in our heads which we use to communicate with ourselves.Positive self-talk will have a direct influence on how positive a person's attitude and actions are.Tell your teen instead of using negative statements, replace them with positive ones.For example, “I can do this right.I just need to concentrate” is much better than “I failed again.I never do anything right.” If you promote positive self-talk you should notice a clear change in the teenager's attitude.
Teach your teen to aim high, while showing her how to acknowledge her limitations.__4__If your teen wants to achieve the impossible, this will only make her feel negative when she fails to do it.Unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest causes of negative attitudes in children, says the Kids Health website.
Try to praise your teenager when he deserves it.Show him you value him and recognize when he makes positive choices.__5__Be sure to give credit when credit is due.Your teen's attitude will be much more positive if you also show him respect as well as command it from him.
A．Teach them how to self-talk.
B．A child's attitude is a learned behavior.
C．Avoid unkind blames to affect your teen's attitude.
D．A negative attitude can result in them feeling upset.
E．There is no problem having reasonable dreams.
F．Most teenagers will appreciate their parent's praise.
G．Encourage him to take up new hobbies or interests.
答案与解析
这是一篇哲理性的文章。家长要帮助孩子培养积极的态度，因为拥有积极的态度对一个青少年的幸福和成功是很重要的。怎样去帮助孩子，短文给父母提出了一些建议。
1．D 这段主要叙述的是家长要帮助孩子培养积极的态度，改变消极的态度。根据前一句“Having a positive attitude is important to a teenager's happiness and success.(拥有积极的态度对一个青少年的幸福和成功是很重要的)”，这里叙述的是积极态度的益处，后面应该叙述的是消极态度的不利的一面，D项A negative attitude can result in them feeling upset(消极的态度会让他们感到沮丧)符合语境，故选D。
2．B 承接上句“Judge your own attitude.”判断你自己的态度，这是给父母说的一句话；再根据后面“Teens watch their parents and how they react to certain experiences and events.Children learn a good part of their belief system from their parents.青少年观察他们的父母，以及他们对某些经历和事件的反应。孩子们从他们的父母那里学到了很多他们的信仰的一部分。”可知，为什么要父母注意自己的态度，因为孩子会学自己的父母，B项A child's attitude is a learned behavior.孩子的态度是一种后天习得的行为。承上启下。故选B。
3．A 根据后文“This is the little voice in our heads which we use to communicate with ourselves.Positive self-talk will have a direct influence on how positive a person's attitude and actions are.这是我们头脑中用来与自己交流的小声音。积极的自我对话会直接影响一个人的态度和行为的积极程度。”这里提到了关键词self-talk，A项Teach them how to self-talk.这里有关键词self-talk，故选A。
4．E 根据后文“Unrealistic expectations are one of the biggest causes of negative attitudes in children.不切实际的期望是导致孩子消极态度的最大原因之一。”这里有关键词Unrealistic expectations(不切实际的期望)与之相反的词应该是选项E里的reasonable(合理的)，所以有合理的梦想是没有问题的，故选E。
5．F 根据“Try to praise your teenager when he deserves it.当孩子值得表扬的时候，要试着去表扬你的孩子，”这里提到的关键词是praise(表扬)。F项Most teenagers will appreciate their parent's praise(大多数青少年会珍惜他们父母的赞美)有关键词praise，故选F。

答案与解析
本文是一篇说明文。文中讲述了中国为保护环境在农作物种植上做了一些变化并得到了世界上的知名人士的认可。
1．has grown 考查时态。since加时间点，主句要用现在完成时。句意：2011年以来，中国种植的玉米比水稻多。故填has grown。
2．the 考查冠词。句意：玉米产量在过去25年里增长了近125%，而大米只增长了7%。故是特指在过去的25年里。故填the。
3．actually 考查副词。句意：对肉的需求实际上是这种变化的背后原因。句子结构完整，用副词修饰句子。故填actually。
4．to improve 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了改善水质政府鼓励农民种植玉米而不是大米。没有连词且谓语动词是encourages，故improve应该用非谓语动词。此处表示目的，故用不定式。故填to improve。
5．than 考查连词。句意：玉米比大米使用的水更少。根据关键词less可知，填比较连词。故填than。
6．pollution 考查词性转换。句意：这一转变减少了中国较大的湖泊和水库的污染，使人们的饮用水更加安全。has decreased后跟名词作宾语，故填pollution。
7．global 考查词性转换。句意：中国约占全球化肥总消费量的30%。fertilizer consumption是名词短语，故应该用形容词修饰。故填global。
8．started 考查时态。句意：在2005年政府开始了一项土壤测试项目。本句是when引导的定语从句，由于时间是2005年，故用过去时。故填started。
9．that/which 考查定语从句关系词。根据空后的谓语动词gives可知，该空缺少主语，指代program并且引导后面的句子。指物用that/which，故填that或者which。
10．feeding 考查省略句。句意：中国在养活了中国人民的同时又保护了环境。这一做法为全世界的农业和粮食政策制定人提供了很有用的经验。空格处表示正在进行的动作，while后面省略掉了China is。省略句的原则：在时间状语从句、条件状语从句，让步状语从句中，如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致且含有be动词时，那么可以把从句的主语和be动词一块省略。故填feeding。

A
India is a country with all kinds of people, culture, food practices, etc.which are all prepared from the same products but the recipe(食谱)resulted finally is certainly named differently.However still the Baby Food Recipes are the same throughout the country, often all follow Healthy Food Practices.Healthy food for kids can either be homemade or a product suggested by doctors.
The world speaks more about the Indian baby food, since in the old days they used to feed the kid with the homemade foods, which are highly nutritious and can improve the baby development, making it grow more robust.The food prepared at home is easily digestible by the baby, which never has bad effect on the digestive system or causes related problems.A good mother care always starts with the best food practices, which can really make the kid grow healthier and safer.A better feed can make the kid sleep calmly.
Baby foods, like the greens, fruits, eggs and meat are very good for kids.The foods have all the proteins and vitamins that are very important for the kid to grow strong.But the question is how much food can really be fed to a kid at a time? That may either matter with the culture or the physical ability of the kid.You can feed kids the products like the Nestle Cerelac, which is more easily digestible by the baby.
Today baby food will be inherited(继承)by the next coming generations, so it's always safe to advise the coming generations to stay far from the junk foods and foods that are short of nutrition.As the Indian culture and the baby food practices are great, they never ruin their traditional culture of what Indians inherited.
1．What does the underlined word “robust” in Para.2 mean?
A．happy B．lovely
C．active D．healthy
2．Why are the greens, fruits, eggs and meat good for kids?
A．They contain rich proteins and vitamins.
B．They may matter with the Indian culture.
C．All of them are not very difficult to digest.
D．They are all very fresh and kept very clean.
3．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Great Food Practices
B．The Baby Food Recipes
C．Indian Traditional Culture
D．Indian Healthy Baby Food
答案与解析
本文讲述的是印度的健康婴儿食品。
1．D 词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句“The world speaks more about the Indian baby food, since in the old days they used to feed the kid with the homemade foods, which are highly nutritious and can improve the baby development, making it grow more robust.”世界更多地谈论印度婴儿食品，因为在过去，他们用自制的食物喂养孩子，这些食物非常有营养，可以改善婴儿的发育，使其变得更加强壮。由此推知，划线词的意思是“健康的，强健的”，故D项正确。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句“Baby foods, like the greens, fruits, eggs and meat are very good for kids.The foods have all the proteins and vitamins that are very important for the kid to grow strong.”可知，绿色、水果、鸡蛋和肉对孩子有好处是因为它们含有丰富的蛋白质和维生素。故A项正确。
3．D 标题归纳题。根据第一段“India is a country with all kinds of people，culture，food practices，etc.which are all prepared from the same products but the recipe(食谱)resulted finally is certainly named differently.However still the Baby Food Recipes are the same throughout the country，often all follow Healthy Food Practices.Healthy food for kids can either be homemade or a product suggested by doctors.”可知，本文讲述的是印度的健康婴儿食品。故D项正确。

Looking almost as fresh as the day it was bought, this McDonald's Happy Meal is in fact six months old.Photographed every day for the past six months by Manhattan artist Sally Davies, the kids meal of fries and burger hasn't any signs of mould(霉菌) or decay(腐烂)．Sally put the Happy Meal on a shelf in her apartment and watched it with increasing shock.Even her dogs stopped trying to steal a free tasty snack.
“I bought the meal on April 10 this year and brought home to see how it changed，” she said.“I chose McDonald's because it was nearest to my house, but the project could have been about any other fast food.The first thing that shocked me on the second day of the experiment was that it no longer gave out any smell.And my dogs stopped circling the shelf.”
Sally expected the food to go mouldy after a few days.In fact, Mrs.Davies' surprise turned to shock as the food still had not shown any signs of decay after two weeks.“It was then that I realized that something strange might be going on with this food that I had bought，” she explained.“The appearance of the food did not change as the weeks turned to months.And now, at six months old, the food is plastic to touch.The only change that I can see is that it has become as hard as a rock.”
The experiment has brought her amusement rather than fear.“Maybe I would be frightened at seeing this if I were a meat eater.” she said.
4．Sally Davies kept the record of the McDonald's Happy Meal by__________．
A．touching it B．drawing pictures of it
C．smelling it D．taking photos of it

D．McDonald's Happy Meal shows no sign of decay after six months.
答案与解析
本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲了一名曼哈顿艺术家Sally Davies通过拍照的方式记录麦当劳的欢乐餐，居然发现这些食物放置六个月都没有发霉和腐烂。
4．D 细节理解题。由第一段中的“Photographed every day for the past six months by Manhattan artist Sally Davies, the kids meal of fries and burger hasn't any signs of mould(霉菌) or decay(腐烂)．”可知Sally Davies通过拍照的方式记录麦当劳的欢乐餐，选D。
5．C 推理判断题。由最后一段“‘Maybe I would be frightened at seeing this if I were a meat eater.’she said.”可知Sally Davies说：“如果我是一个肉食者，可能我会很害怕看到这些。” 由此推断出Sally Davies不吃任何肉，故选C。
6．C 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Sally expected the food to go mouldy after a few days.”可知在实验之前，Sally Davies本来认为食物会发霉，故选C。
7．D 主旨大意题。由第一段主题段中的“Looking almost as fresh as the day it was bought, this McDonald's Happy Meal is in fact six months old.Photographed every day for the past six months by Manhattan artist Sally Davies, the kids meal of fries and burger hasn't any signs of mould(霉菌) or decay(腐烂)．”可知这篇主要讲了一名曼哈顿艺术家Sally Davies通过拍照的方式记录麦当劳的欢乐餐，居然发现这些食物放置六个月都没有发霉和腐烂，选D。
C
For the past 100 years, people believed middle age to be around 50 years old.This is a time when we start to grow old.However, new research says we have to change this.A study from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIAS) in Austria and Stony Brook University in New York says middle age now starts at 60 or even 65, or older.Why?
The biggest reason is that we are living longer.We are also healthier, we have better diets, we exercise more and we have more money to live in a nicer lifestyle.The IIAS said，“Since life expectancy has increased over the past several decades, and are continuing to increase, people once considered old should actually be viewed as more middle aged.”
The study was not a worldwide one so perhaps not everyone in all countries can say they are middle aged when they are 65.The researchers looked at populations in 39 European countries, so this is good news for Europeans.Britain's National Health Service warned against looking at this study and believing it to be 100 percent true.It said the researchers did not look at things which could reduce life expectancy: “We don't know whether, for example, they factored (把……因素包括进去) in the possible impact of being unable to treat infections because of rising antibiotic (抗生素) resistance, or the increased numbers of people with diabetes (糖尿病) due to obesity.”It recommended healthy living, eating and exercise as a way to live longer.
8．What do people believe for the past century?
A．People start to grow old when they are about 50.
B．Middle age is far beyond 50 years old.
C．People will die at around 50 years old.
D．Middle age is a time when people become ill.
9．What's the main idea of the second paragraph?
A．The main reason why we are living longer.
B．The reason why middle age now starts at 60 or even 65.
C．Life expectancy has increased.
D．Middle aged people were once considered old.
10．What do Britain's National Health Service's words mean?
A．It believes the study to be true.
B．To live longer, one should live a healthy life.
C．There are more people who suffer from diabetes due to obesity.
D．The researchers didn't factor in the possible impact.
11．What is the writer's attitude towards the study?
A．Indifferent. B．Supportive.
C．Negative. D．Objective.
答案与解析
这是一篇科学研究报道。这篇文章报道了在过去的一个世纪，当一个人50岁的时候，人们就认为他变老了。最新研究发现，随着人们寿命的延长，中年从60岁甚至是65岁开始。
8．A 细节理解题。答案定位在第一段中的“For the past 100 years, people believed middle age to be around 50 years old.”可知在过去的一个世纪，当一个人五十岁的时候，人们就认为他变老了，故选A。
9．B 段落大意题。答案定位在第一段末“A study from the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIAS) in Austria and Stony Brook University in New York says middle age now starts at 60 or even 65, or older.Why？”可知接下来会回答这个问题，中年为什么从60岁甚至是65岁开始，这正是第二段要讲述的内容，故选B。
10．B 细节理解题。答案定位在最后一段中的“It recommended healthy living, eating and exercise as a way to live longer.”可知英国国家卫生局所说的话意思是想要活得长，一个人就应该过健康的生活，故选B。
11．D 推理判断题。这篇文章报道了在过去的一个世纪，当一个人50岁的时候，人们就认为他变老了。最新研究发现，随着人们寿命的延长，中年从60岁甚至是65岁开始。作者只是在客观的陈述这个研究发现以及它背后的原因，所以作者对这个研究持中立态度。A.Indifferent冷漠的；B.Supportive支持的；C.Negative否定的；D.Objective客观的，故选D。
Ⅲ.短文改错
Since my childhood, libraries have played a role of great important in my life.When I was a pupil，I regarded on my every trip to the school library as an adventure.I enjoyed my stay there when I could read various book I was interested in.It was for this reason why I decided to volunteer at a library.At first I had difficulty remember where each book should be shelved and I got used to doing so soon with the help of a kind librarian.Working in the library might seem bored for most people.However, it was rewarding experience for me.It has not only developed my ability to read，but also help me make a contribution to society.
答案与解析
本文是记叙文，叙述了作者从童年起，图书馆就在他的生活中扮演着重要的角色，为了读到更多的书，作者在图书馆当了一名志愿者。这样做不仅培养了他的阅读能力，而且帮助他为社会做出了贡献。
1．考查名词。句意：从我的童年起，图书馆就在我的生活中扮演着重要的角色。of是介词，后应该用名词，important是形容词，重要的；importance名词。故答案为：important→importance。
2．考查动词短语。句意：当我还是个小学生的时候，我把每次去学校图书馆的旅行都看作是一次冒险。短语regard...as“把……看作”。regard后不用介词on。故答案为：on 删掉。
3．考查定语从句的关系词。句意：我在那里过得很愉快，在那里我可以读我感兴趣的各种书。先行词是there，后跟where引导的定语从句，where在从句中作地点状语。故答案为：when→where。
4．考查名词的复数。句意：我在那里过得很愉快，在那里我可以读我感兴趣的各种书。various后跟名词的复数形式。故答案为：book→books。
5．考查强调句型。句意：正是因为这个原因，我决定去图书馆做志愿者。这里是强调句型，it was＋被强调部分＋that＋其他，判断强调句型的方法：去掉it was和that句子仍然成立，不缺成分。故答案为：why→that。
6．考查动名词。句意：起初，我很难记住每本书应该放在哪里，但是在一位善良的图书管理员的帮助下我很快就习惯了这样做。短语have difficulty (in)doing sth.“做某事有困难。”这里用动名词作介词的宾语。故答案为：remember→remembering。
7．考查并列连词。句意：起初，我很难记住每本书应该放在哪里，但是在一位善良的图书管理员的帮助下我很快就习惯了这样做。and表示前后是并列关系，but表示前后是转折关系。这里是转折关系。故答案为：and→but。
8．考查形容词。句意：对大多数人来说，在图书馆工作似乎很无聊。这里句子的主语Working in the library是一件事。这个事情令人无聊的用boring。人感到无聊的用bored。故答案为：bored→boring。
9．考查冠词。句意：然而，这对我来说是一次有价值的经历。这里experience经历，是可数名词的单数，其前用不定冠词。故答案为：rewarding前加a。
10．考查动词时态。句意：它不仅培养了我的阅读能力，而且帮助我为社会做出了贡献。根据前面用的是developed一般过去时，所以这里也应该用一般过去时。故答案为：help→helped。

答案与解析
这是一篇记叙文。作者去看望父母亲，但是父母不在家，在父母的卧室走动的时候，看见了很多对父母有重要意义的物品，这些物品是他们的回忆和青春的见证，但作者一直忙于自己的事业，几乎没有时间陪伴父母，也没有时间去了解他们的过去和经历。作者呼吁我们要多陪伴我们的父母亲，千万不要“树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不待”。
1．C 考查连词辨析。A.and和；B.or或者；C.but但是；D.so所以。句意：上周六我开车开了很长一段路去看望他们，但他们都不在家。由“neither of them was at home”可知，他们都不在家。所以前后语意表示转折。故C选项切题。
2．B 考查介词辨析。A.to朝向；B.for因为；C.of的；D.in在……里。句意：所以我耐心地在家等他们回来。wait for“等待”为固定短语。指作者耐心地在家等父母回来。故B选项切题。

6．A 考查名词短语辨析。A.family photos家庭照；B.Santa Claus圣诞老人；C.family trees家谱图；D.old clothes旧衣服。句意：墙上挂着全家的照片，我想这对他们一定有特别的意义。由“on the wall ”以及下文中的“The photos”可知，一般时候我们都是将照片挂在墙上。故A选项切题。
7．B 考查形容词辨析。A.simple简单的；B.special特别的；C.past结束了的；D.real真正的。句意：墙上挂着全家的照片，我想这对他们一定有特殊的意义。老照片代表了怀念他人或者曾经过去的岁月，所以说对父母来说具有特殊的意义。故B选项切题。

11．A 考查动词辨析。A.realized意识到；B.declared宣称；C.admitted准许……进入；D.promised承诺。句意：当我看着那些骄傲地挂着徽章和他所珍藏的照片时，我意识到这是他生活的一个重要部分，但是我从来没有花时间和他谈论过它们。作者从照片和徽章中，意识到了它们在父亲的生活中的重要作用。故A选项切题。
12．C 考查名词辨析。A.courage勇气；B.chance机会；C.time时间；D.energy能量。句意：当我看着那些骄傲地挂着徽章和他所珍藏的照片时，我意识到这是他生活的一个重要部分，但是我从来没有花时间和他谈论过它们。sb.spend ＋时间/金钱＋(in) doing sth.“花费时间/金钱做某事”符合句意。故C选项切题。
