The
simplest
way
to
say
it
is
this：I
believe
in
my
mother.My
belief
began
when
I
was
just
a
kid.I
__1__
becoming
a
doctor.
My
mother
was
a
domestic.Through
her
work，she
observed
that
successful
people
spent
a
lot
more
time
reading
than
they__2__
watching
television.She
announced
that
my
brother
and
I
could
only
watch
two
to
three
pre?selected
TV
programmes
during
the
week.
With
our
free
time，we
had
to
read
two
books
each
from
the
Detroit
Public
Library
and
__3__
written
book
reports
to
her.She
would
mark
them
up
with
check
marks
and
highlights.Years
later
we
realized
her
marks
were
a
__4__．My
mother
was
illiterate.
When
I
entered
high
school，I
was
an
A?student，but
not
for
long.I
wanted
the
fancy
clothes.I
wanted
to
__5__
with
the
guys.I
went
from
being
an
A?student
to
a
B?student
to
a
C?student.One
night
my
mother
came
home
from
__6__
her
various
jobs
and
I
complained
about
not
having
enough
Italian
knit
shirts.She
said，“Okay，I'll
give
you
all
the
money
I
make
this
week
scrubbing
floors
and
cleaning
bathrooms，and
you
can
buy
__7__
food
and
pay
the
bills.With
money
__8__，you
can
have
all
the
Italian
knit
shirts
you
want.”
I
was
very
__9__
with
that
arrangement
but
once
I
got
through
allocating
money，there
was
__10__
left.I
realized
my
mother
was
a
financial
genius
to
be
able
to
keep
a
roof
over
our
heads
and
any
kind
of
food
on
the
table，__11__
buy
clothes.I
also
realized
that
immediate
satisfaction
wasn't
going
to
get
me
anywhere.Success
required
intellectual
preparation.I
went
back
to
my
__12__
and
became
an
A?student
again，and
eventually
I
__13__
my
dream
and
I
became
a
doctor.
My
story
is
really
my
mother's
story—a
woman
with
__14__
formal
education
or
property
who
used
her
position
as
a
parent
to
change
the
lives
of
many
people
around
the
globe.There
is
no
job
__15__
than
parenting.This
I
believe.

Our
children
grew
up
on
peanut
butter
and
jelly
sandwiches，although
my
husband
and
I
sometimes
sneak
one
late
at
night
with
a
glass
of
milk.I
believe
that
the
success
of
this__1__loved
concoction(混合物)
lies
not
in
the
brand
of
peanut
butter，but
rather
in
the
jelly.The
right
jelly__2__the
palate，and
homemade
is
the
only
choice.
My
mother?in?law
was
the
jelly
maker
in
this
family.This
limited
choice
was
a
welcome__3__
in
the
days
of
toddlers，siblings
and
puppies.All
I
did
was
to__4__baby
food
jars，which
my
mother?in?law
would
seal
with
wax(蜡)
and
__5__
back
home
with
us.Whenever
I
wanted
to
make
a
peanut
butter
and
jelly
sandwich，all
I
had
to
do
was
reach
for
one
of
little
jars.Jelly
making
was
just
a
way
of__6__for
my
mother?in?law.She
always
did
it，setting
the__7__
jelly
on
the
shelves.
My
father?in?law
died
several
years
ago
and
this
past
December，she
also__8__．Among
the
things
in
the
house
to
be
divided
by
her
children
were
the__9__canned
goods.
The
other
day
I
reached
my
pantry(储物间)
for
jelly
for
a
quick
sandwich.Sitting
all
alone
on
the
far
side
of
the
shelf
was
a
small
jar
of
grape
jelly，whose
lid
was__10__in
places.Written
on
it
was
“GR”
for
grape
and
the
year
when
the
jelly
was
made.
As
I
picked
up
the
jar，I
suddenly
realized
something
that
I
had__11__to
see
earlier.This
was
the
last
jar
we
would
ever
have
from
the
patient，loving
hands.We
hardly
ever
opened
a
jar
of
jelly
at
table
without__12__about
those
thousands
of
little
jars
she
had
filled.It
seems
like
such
a
small
thing，and
most
days
it
was
something
that
was__13__
for
granted.
No
longer
was
it
just
a
jar
of
jelly.It
was
the
end
of
a
family__14__．We
expect
these
hundreds
of
pictures
and
many
more
memories
to__15__the
years
and
to
pass
on
to
our
children.The
jar
of
jelly
won't
keep
that
long.It
will
either
have
to
be
eaten
or
thrown
out...but
not
today.

As
I
held
my
father's
hands
one
night，I
couldn't
help
but
notice
their
calluses(老茧)
and
roughness.His
hands
tell
the
story
of
his
life
as
a
farmer，including
all
his
struggles.
One
summer，I
remember，a
drought(旱灾)
hit
Ontario，turning
it
into
a
__1__desert.On
one
of
those
hot
mornings
I
was
picking
sweet
corn
with
my
dad
to
fill
the
last__2__from
the
grocery
store.Fifty
dozen
was
all
we
needed，which__3__
took
twenty
minutes.That
morning，however，the
process
didn't__4__
quickly.After
forty
minutes
of
aimlessly
walking
in
the
field，we__5__needed
twenty
dozen.I
was
completely
frustrated
and
__6__．Dropping
the
basket
heavily，I
declared，“If
the
store
wants
its
last
twenty
dozen，they
can
pick
it
themselves！”
Dad__7__
，“Just
think，my
little
girl，only
ten
dozen
left
for
each
of
us
and
then
we're
done.”Such
is
Dad—whatever
problem
he__8__
，he
never
gives
up.
Unfortunately，the
disastrous
effects
of
the
drought
were
felt
all
over
our
country.It
was
a
challenging
time
for
everyone，__9__
Dad
remained
optimistic.He
continued
to
be
grateful
for
other
things
like
good
health
and
food
on
our
plates.Only
then
did
I
truly
begin
to__10__Dad
and
his
faith
that
guided
us
through
the
hard
times.
Dad
is
also
a
living
example
of
real__11__．From
dawn
to
dusk，he
works
countless
hours
to
support
our
family.He
always
puts
our
happiness__12__his
own，and
never
fails
to
cheer
me
on
at
my
sports
games__13__
his
exhaustion
after
long
days.His
loving
and
selfless
nature
has
inspired
me
to
become
more
sympathetic
and__14__，putting
others
first.
Dad，the
life__15__I
have
learned
from
you
will
stay
with
me
forever.You
are
my
father，teacher，friend
and，most
importantly，my
hero.

For
a
long
time
I
saw
happiness
as
a
huge
banner
(旗帜)across
the
finish
line
of
a
long
race.I
felt
that
only
when
I__1__certain
things
could
I
finally
be
happy
in
my
life.Most
of
the
time
I
felt
like
a
tortoise
believing
that
being
slow
and__2__
would
win
the
race.At
other
times
I
would
__3__like
a
rabbit
trying
different
side
roads
at
a
dangerous
speed
hoping
to
reach
that
banner
a
little
faster.__4__，I
began
to
see
that
no
matter
how
long
I
raced
towards
it，the
banner
was
never
any
__5__．I
finally
decided
one
day
to
sit
down
and
take
a
break.It
was
then
that
I
saw
my__6__sitting
beside
me.
It
had
been
with
me
as
I__7__
hard
to
support
my
family，as
I
played
with
my
children
and
heard
their__8__and
even
when
I
was
sick
with
my
wife
at
my
side
looking
after
me.It
had
been
with
me
as
I
raced
towards
that
stupid
banner.I
just
didn't
have
the__9__to
see
it.There
is
an
old
Chinese
proverb
that
says，“Tension
is
what
you
think
you
should
be.__10__is
who
you
are.”
Perhaps
we
all
should
stop
our
race
towards
the__11__life
we
think
we
should
have
and
__12__the
life
we
have
now.Happiness
will
never
be
found
under
some

far
away.It
will
be
found
in
your
own
heart，soul
and
mind.It
will
be
found
when
you__13__that
others
love
you
just
as
you
do.Don't
be
a
tortoise
or
a
rabbit
when
it
comes
to
your
happiness.Be
a
playful
puppy
and
carry
your
stick
of

everywhere
you

yourself
out
of
the

and
realize
that
when
it

happiness，you
are
already
there.

1．A.submitting
B．resorting
C．contributing
D．extending
【语篇解读】 本文讲述了经济危机导致居民消费开支产生了自1980以来的最大幅度的下滑这一现象。
解析：这促成了近三十年来最严重的经济下滑。submit
to“服从”；resort
to“求助，诉诸”；contribute
to“有助于，促进”；extend
to“延伸到”。
答案：C
2．A.personnel
B．consumer
C．folk
D．client
解析：consumer
spending表示“消费性支出”。
答案：B
3．A.while
B．although
C．because
D．but
解析：上半句说人们在住房、日用品及服务上的支出减少了，下半句说出国度假的人花费也减少了，由此可见前后分句是并列的关系，所以用while。although
表示让步；because表示原因；but
表示转折。
答案：A
4．A.instantly
B．simultaneously
C．significantly
D．actively
解析：instantly“立即，马上”；simultaneously“同时地”；significantly“显著地，重要地”；actively“积极地，活跃地”。不难看出这里是说出国度假的人花费也明显减少了，因此选significantly。
答案：C
5．A.dives
B．pauses
C．halts
D．cuts
解析：pay
cuts表示“减薪”，pay
freezes表示“工资冻结”。dive“潜水”；halt“停止”；pause“暂停，间歇”。
答案：D
6．A.calculated
B．accumulated
C．expressed
D．showed
解析：calculate“计算”；accumulate“积累”；express“表达”；show“表明”。这里表示“数据表明”，故选择D项。
答案：D
7．A.since
B．when
C．as
D．until
解析：since
表示“从……以来”，上文提到员工们的补偿金本季度下降了1.1%，这个下降的幅度是自1955年有记录以来最大的，所以用since。
答案：A
8．A.competition
B．employment
C．achievement
D．attraction
解析：competition“竞争”；employment“就业”；achievement“成就，成绩”；attraction“吸引，吸引力”。伴随着工资的下降，竞争肯定越来越激烈，失业的人也就越来越多，所以就业率就会下降。
答案：B
9．A.released
B．relieved
C．related
D．relaxed
解析：release“发布，释放”；relieve“解除，减轻”；relate“联系，叙述”；relax
“放松”。这里release表示“发布”。句意：这份数据是作为英国国家统计局这个组织对英国经济评估报告的一部分来对外发布的。
答案：A
10．A.promoted
B．justified
C．confirmed
D．advocated
解析：promote“促进，提升”；justify“证明……是合法的”；confirm“确认，证实”；advocate“提倡，主张”。句意：这份数据证实了第一季度国内生产总值下降了1.9%这一事实。
答案：C
11．A.poorer
B．slimmer
C．weaker
D．lower
解析：从后半句“the
biggest
annual
fall
since
1980”可以得出GDP肯定是比去年降低了4.1%，所以用lower。poor“贫穷的”；slim“苗条的”；weak“虚弱的”。
答案：D
12．A.amazing
B．depressing
C．surprising
D．puzzling
解析：amazing“令人惊异的”；depressing“令人沮丧的”；surprising“令人惊讶的”；puzzling“令人费解的”。由句境可知应是令人沮丧的，选B。
答案：B
13．A.economy
B．finance
C．business
D．commerce
解析：economy“经济”；finance“财政”；business“商业”；commerce“贸易”。这里应该是对整个宏观经济的展望，所以用economy，其他三个选项太过片面了。
答案：A
14．A.opposition
B．response
C．regard
D．contrast
解析：in
response
to表示“响应，反应”，这里表示由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软，导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降。
答案：B
15．A.remain
B．prove
C．feel
D．maintain
解析：remain表示“依然，保持”，后面大多跟形容词。maintain表示“维持，保持(已有的水平、标准)”，这里表示“虽然由于房地产市场、劳动力市场以及银行借贷的疲软而导致家庭支出以及投资的大幅下降，但是我们仍然不相信……”，所以这里用remain。

1．A.applying
B．doing
C．offering
D．getting
【语篇解读】 阅读本来是一个愉悦身心的活动，但是忙碌的工作使人们远离了阅读所带来的乐趣。本文就如何开展有效的快速阅读进行了简单的说明。
解析：本句意思是“如果想谋得一份差事”。apply需加for，意思是“申请”；do“做”；
offer“提供”。此三项均不符合题意，只有get(获得)适合。
答案：D
2．A.quickly
B．easily
C．roughly
D．decidedly
解析：本句意为“快速阅读与理解的能力，是关系到成败的关键所在”。只有quickly与原意吻合。easily“容易地”；roughly“粗略地”；
decidedly“果断地”。
答案：A
3．A.good
B．curious
C．poor
D．urgent
解析：由下文“Most
of
us
develop
poor
reading…”可知此处选poor。其他选项不妥。
答案：C
4．A.trainings
B．habits
C．situations
D．customs
解析：此处的意思是“大多数人早期养成不良的读书习惯”。因此选habit“习惯”。training“训练，培训”；situation“形势”；custom“风俗习惯”。
答案：B
5．A.lies
B．combines
C．touches
D．involves
解析：此处说的是“主要的困难在于语言的自身要素，即单词”。combine“联合”；touch“接触”；involve“包括”。这三项的词义与原文不符。而lie与in构成搭配，意为“在于”。
答案：A
6．A.some
B．a
lot
of
C．little
D．dull
解析：这里的意思是“如果单个地看这些词，它们并没有什么意义”。some“一些，少量的”；a
lot
of“许多”；dull“单调的”。此三项不合题意。只有little(很少)是否定词，合乎逻辑。
答案：C
7．A.Fortunately
B．Actually
C．Logically
D．Unfortunately
解析：此句指“作者对未受过阅读训练的人的不良习惯感到遗憾”。fortunately“幸运地”；actually“事实上”；logically“合乎逻辑地”。unfortunately(不幸地)合乎句意。
答案：D
8．A.reuse
B．reread
C．rewrite
D．recite
解析：此处意思为“在阅读时经常重读(反复读)”。因此，选reread“重读”。reuse“再使用”；rewrite“改写”；recite“背诵”。
答案：B
9．A.scales
B．cuts
C．slows
D．measures
解析：scale
down“按比例减少”；cut
down“削减”。此两项不合题意。
measures不能与down搭配。只有slow
down“放慢”能与后面的speed搭配。
答案：C
10．A.accelerator
B．actor
C．amplifier
D．observer
解析：根据上文可知，训练快速阅读所使用的工具必然与提高阅读速度有关，因此选accelerator
(快读器)。actor“演员”；amplifier“放大器”；observer“观察者”。
答案：A
11．A.then
B．as
C．beyond
D．than
解析：前面的faster决定了此处应当选than，构成比较级。
答案：D
12．A.enabling
B．leading
C．making
D．indicating
解析：此句意为“快速阅读器迫使你加快阅读速度，使你再也不能逐字阅读，回顾前文内容或者默读。”enable相当于make
possible；lead“引导”；indicate“指出，表明”。都不合题意。只有make
(使得)最合适。
答案：C
13．A.but
B．nor
C．or
D．for
解析：与前半句中的not
only相呼应，构成句式not
only...but...“不仅……而且……”，只能选but，而nor、or或for均不能与前面的not
only搭配。
答案：A
14．A.Treat
B．Take
C．Make
D．Consider
解析：take与后面的for
instance构成短语，意为“以……为例”，其他三项不能与for
instance构成搭配。
答案：B
15．A.refer
to
B．go
over
C．set
about
D．get
through
解析：此处意为“在较短时间内，读完众多的材料”。refer
to“参考”；go
over“复习”；set
about“着手做”。此三项均不合题意；只有get
through
“通读”最恰当。
答案：D
