25、appy is he who is content.一、单句填空1.can句意:我的iPad不在我的包里。我可能把它放在哪里了呢?考查情态动词。can在疑问句中表推测。2.to句意:既然你已完成了工作,你应该休息一下。ought to应该。3.narrowed句意:我能很容易地游过这条河,是因为干旱的季节使它变窄了很多。考查动词。narrow v.变窄。4.will句意:只有吃正确的食物,你才能保持健康。only if引导的状语从句位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装,即把助动词放在主句的主语的前面。5.naturally句意:这两位年轻人偶然泄露了公司的最高机密,这自然使老板非常生气。考查副词。na
26、turally adv.自然地。6.that句意:爸爸一结束商务旅游回到家就问妈妈我在高中的学业成绩,还有我上初中的妹妹的学业成绩。根据语境可知空格处的代词是代替前面的academic performance,属于同类但不同物,即the academic performance of my little sister,要用that。7.distant句意:正如谚语说的那样:“远亲不如近邻”。考查形容词。此处应该用形容词修饰后面的名词relative,a distant relative关系疏远的亲戚、居住离得很远的亲戚。8.surrounded句意:他只知道自己手里拿着枪躺在那儿,被想杀死他的
27、人包围着。考查非谓语动词。此处是非谓语动词作状语,he与surround之间是被动关系,应该用过去分词形式。9.through;suffer句意:自从1990年以来伊拉克经历了很多次战争,让它的人民备受煎熬。考查动词短语和非谓语动词。第一个空表达“经历,经受”应该用go through;第二个空是make sb.do 让某人做。10.invited句意:除了医生、护士和胡博士邀请的人之外任何人不能进入病人的房间。考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知空格处动作与those之间是被动关系,应该用过去分词形式。二、语法填空语篇解读本文为议论文。本文告诉我们要花点时间观察自己的内心世界,当我们失望的时候想
28、想是什么令我们失望。态度的改变会有助于我们减少失望。1.disappointment考查名词。本句话中缺主语,且设空处前有the,所以应该用名词形式,即disappointment。2.was supposed to考查动词短语。suppose构成短语be supposed to,同时本句话用的是一般过去时,所以用was supposed to,表示“本应该”。3.believed考查动词。前面的时态是一般过去时,所以这里也应该用一般过去时,即believed。4.down考查副词。根据前面的I was disappointed判断“我感到失望”。let sb. down“使某人失望”,为固定
29、短语。5.that考查强调句。该句是一个强调句型,被强调部分是just my attitude to the matter,所以用that。6.paying考查非谓语动词。as well as连接的是studying myself与paying attention to others around me,共同作介词through的宾语。误解分析:本题容易填pay,认为as well as连接的两个并列成分是realize与pay。7.things考查名词。由前面的修饰语those判断应该用复数,所以用things。8.made考查动词时态。noticed后面接的是宾语从句,从句中时态用一般过去
30、时。9.Obviously考查副词。副词作状语,因为放在了句首,所以大写第一个字母。10.what考查连词。what引导表语从句,在从句中作主语。三、完形填空语篇解读圣诞节来临之际我们为儿子Mike买了很时髦的礼物,可是在23号他提出了自己的新要求:一辆自行车。可时间已来不及了,于是爸爸为儿子用黏土做了一辆小自行车。爸爸为什么这么做?Mike又会作出什么反应呢?1.D句意:随着圣诞节越来越近,他对自行车的渴望好像在减退,或者我们这样认为。第一句话说Mike提出的圣诞礼物是要一辆自行车,现在那种得到自行车的渴望似乎减退,故选D项。imagination想象、想象力;taste味道、口味;ques
31、tion问题、疑问;desire渴望、愿望。2.A根据第1题的解析可知此处是两种情况的选择:或者是或者是。3.C句意:我们给他买了最时髦流行的军舰和坦克。此处表达我们给儿子买圣诞礼物,故选C项。4.B句意:可是令我们感到惊讶的是,在12月23日他说自己最想要的还是一辆自行车。情景:我们已经给他买了礼物,这个时候他又提出这样的要求,让我们感到吃惊,故选B项。despair绝望;delight高兴;sorrow悲伤、悲痛。5.D根据本段的描述:在圣诞节马上就要到来的时候,我们还有这么多事需要去做,所以现在给他买自行车就有点太晚了,故选D项。special特殊的、专门的;urgent紧急的、紧迫的;

33、他制作一辆小自行车会怎样呢?What if?要是会怎么样?故选A项。11.C根据后文第18空后的trade in this bike可知此处表达:圣诞节过后他可以用这来这个来交换一辆真的自行车,故选C项。12.A句意:我们的理论是:既然这(自行车)是一件昂贵的物件,他也是一个大孩子了,到时候由他自己挑选不是更好吗?since在此表达我们这么做的理由。13.C句意:于是在接下来的四个小时里他爸爸努力地用黏土为儿子制作了一辆小自行车。考查spend time doing sth.结构。14.D根据第13题的解析可知答案为D项。choose选择、挑选;repair维修、修理;ride骑车、乘坐;cr
34、eate创作、制作。15.B圣诞节的早上,当Mike打开包着那件特殊礼物的包裹时,我们当然很是激动,故选B项。16.B根据情景:Mike打开包着那辆小自行车的包装,那件东西自然应该被包装在一个包裹里,故选B项。其余三件都不能包装它。17.C此处描述Mike打开了(open)了包裹,开始读那张字条。18.A句意:这就意味着(mean)我能用这辆爸爸制作的自行车交换一辆真的自行车了?19.D句意:我永远都不会交换爸爸为我制作的这辆可爱的自行车的。false错误的、虚假的;expensive昂贵的、贵重的;strange奇怪的、陌生的;charming可爱的、迷人的。故选D项。20.B句意:而我会永
35、远保留着(keep)它。答案为B项。四、阅读理解语篇解读本文为议论文。题材为个人情感与人际关系。文章介绍了随着我们年龄的增加和对成功追求压力的加大,我们逐渐忽略了身边快乐的存在。在生活中容易满足的人会更快乐。1.A细节理解题。由第一段的.,which seems to get rarer the older we get.可知,我们年龄越大,快乐似乎就会越少。故选A项。2.C推理判断题。第五段主要讲了作者对快乐的理解:我们越享受我们所拥有的,我们就会越快乐。第六段主要讲了作者的一次经历,孩子和丈夫的吵闹声也让作者感受到了快乐。所以从这两段我们可以得知作者很容易从日常生活中感到快乐。故选C项。3.D推理判断题。本段心理学家认为快乐的来源是有可以享受的休闲时间和令人满意的工作。而作者的奶奶对于心理学家认为的快乐来源都没有,但是有自己的朋友和亲人,这或许是让奶奶满意也是快乐的事情。故选D项(奶奶的快乐来自于对生活适度的期盼。)。4.B推理判断题。第八段告诉我们:在每个领域我们有太多的选择和追求成功的压力,我们已经把快乐变成了另外一个东西,甚至把它等同于财富和成功,但是我们没有注意到其实拥有财富和成功的人不一定更快乐。故选B项。5.D推理判断题。本篇文章的中心段是最后一段。在最后一段作者指出我们的快乐不是去期望我们没有得到的东西,而是要享受我们所拥有的。故选D项。
