***阅读理解

Have you ever been given something you don't like or that doesn't fit，but you don't want to hurt the feelings of the person who thinks about you？You're not alone.Everyone has received an unwanted gift at least once in his or her life.That doesn't mean the item is bad or useless.It simply means that it doesn't work for you.

If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn't fit into your lifestyle，consider regifting it.Before you do that，make sure you understand the manners of this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent.

There are specific things you should do to an item.Failure to do any of them may create an awkward situation.You never have to lie about what you are doing，but you don't want to be in the position of having to explain anything.For example，remove the original wrapping paper and rewrap it in your own way；make sure the box is in good condition so the item doesn't appear used；check the item and make sure there are no cards or names on the packaging；inspect the item and make sure it is in excellent condition.

When you get ready for regifting，consider having a white_elephant gift exchange for your next celebration.This removes all the embarrassment of being caught regifting because that's the whole purpose of the event.In order to prevent hurting feelings，provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.

1．Why does the author begin the passage with a question?

A．To share a hot phenomenon.

B．To introduce the following part.

C．To ask for readers' answers.

2．What most contributes to the growing regifting?

A．People's lack of money.

B．People's dislike of the gifts.

C．People's reduced desire for gifts.

D．People's understanding of its manners.

3．What's mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A．What to do before regifting.

B．How to make use of unwanted gifts.

C．What kind of gifts to be regifted.

D．Why regifting can cause embarrassment.

4．What does the underlined phrase in the last paragraph mean?

A．Suitable but valueless.

B．Expensive and useful.

C．Packaged and invaluable.

D．Nice but unsuitable.

【解题导语】本篇文章是说明文，讲述怎样转送不喜欢或者不太适合自己的礼物。

【难句分析】In order to prevent hurting feelings，provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything given by the people on that list.

分析：这是一个复杂的简单句。In order to prevent hurting feelings是目的状语；过去分词短语given by the people on that list作anything的后置定语；provide everyone with a guest list and ask them not to bring anything是由and连接的两个并列祈使句。

译文：为了防止伤害感情，(你)可以向每位客人提供一张宾客名单，且要求他们不要带任何名单上的人已经送过的礼物。

1．B　考查推理判断。第一段点出了文章主旨，首句采用设问句是为了引出全文的话题“Everyone has received an unwanted gift...It simply means that it doesn't work for you”，从而引出下文，所以选B。

2．A　考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“this practice that is more and more common as people find it difficult to make ends meet to a great extent”可知，转送礼物变得越来越常见是因为人们发现在很大程度上实现收支平衡很难，故选项A“人们缺钱”正确。

3．A　考查段落大意。通读第三段可知，该段首句为段落中心句，指出对于一件将被转送的礼物你有几件具体事情要做，故选项A“在转送礼物之前该做什么”与中心句意思最接近，所以选A。B项意为“怎么充分利用不想要的礼物”；C项意为“什么类型的礼物可以转送”；D项意为“为什么转送礼物可能引起尴尬”。这三个选项与该段主题不符，故排除。

4．D　考查词义猜测。根据第二段首句“If you find yourself with something nice but that doesn't fit into your lifestyle，consider regifting it”并结合第三段内容可知，要转送的礼物应是很好的但不适合自己的，所以D选项正确。white elephant意为“昂贵而无用之物”。

篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。全文主要介绍了作者所认识的一对很有趣且极具正能量的姐妹的故事。

1．the　考查冠词。由空后的“most interesting”的提示可知，此处为形容词的最高级，应用定冠词修饰。

2．whose　考查定语从句的引导词。whose引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作定语，先行词为Joan and Bernice。

3．pleasure　考查词性转换。结合语境和冠词a的提示可知，此处应用名词形式。

4．happier　考查形容词的比较级。否定词与比较级连用表达最高级含义，与上文的joy呼应。

10．thankful　考查词性转换。be动词后一般跟形容词作表语，故此处用形容词形式。

I __1__ them years ago as a college student，sitting in the library，__2__，working on a paper.Out of nowhere，those words came __3__ off the page in a quote(引语)：“In the midst of death life persists，in the midst of __4__ truth persists，in the midst of darkness light persists.”

Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more.Then I __5__ my granddad.I loved to talk with him.And I was __6__ to hear what he'd think of it.He had poor hearing，so I had to __7__ it a few times，but once he __8__ it，he laughed.“All I can say to that is totally __9__，” he said on the phone.I told him how glad I was，after a long winter，to finally see spring and __10__ to find that quote.“Why is that？” he asked.“Well，spring is a sure __11__ that life persists.And it just makes me __12__.”

He laughed again，and then __13__ his lovely voice，he recited for me his __14__“spring time” words：“The desert shall rejoice(高兴)，and __15__ as the rose does...even with joy and singing.”

Many years later，__16__ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛开的)cactuses，I could __17__ hear my granddad laughing：“The desert shall rejoice.”

Life persists，and so do we，in the silence of __18__ and the blooming of cactuses；and in the dead of __19__ and the green of spring.Spring __20__ us that we're alive forever.

【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述的是作者有感于春天的活力，从偶然读到的一段话联想到生命的意义与坚持。生命长存于漫漫沙漠的植物中，长存于冬去春来的绿意中。冬去春来，生命依然长存，而我们也要继续前行。

1．B　根据语境可知，几年前坐在大学的图书馆里作者偶然遇到这两个单词“Life persists”。happen on“偶然遇到或发现”，符合语境。pick out“挑选，辨别出”；make up“编造”。

2．A　根据下文中的“Suddenly I wasn't unhappy and impatient any more”可知，作者当时在图书馆里的心情是很烦闷的。故选bored“厌倦的，烦闷的”。

3．B　这两个词突然从书页上的引语中跃入作者的眼帘。dancing在此形象生动地描述了这两个词所富含的美好活力以及作者遇到它们的偶然性。

4．D　在死亡中，生命依然坚持；在谎言中，真理依然长存；在黑暗中，光明依然永驻。根据句中的death与life, darkness与light的对应关系可知，此处应填truth的反义词。untruth“虚假，不真实”，符合语境。accusation“控告”；suspicion“怀疑”。

5．A　根据下文中的“on the phone”可知，作者给爷爷打电话。call“(给……)打电话”，符合语境。visit“看望，拜访”；consult“咨询”；inform“告知”。

6．D　根据语境及上文中的“I loves to talk with him”可知，作者很想听到爷爷(对这句话)是怎么看的。desperate“极想，渴望”。patient“耐心的”；upset“不安的”。

7．C　根据上文中的“He had poor hearing，so I had to”和下文中的“a few times”可知，爷爷的听觉不灵，所以作者不得不多次重复(repeat)这句话。copy“抄写”；print“打印”；recite“背诵”。

8．A　但是一旦作者的爷爷明白(got it)了，他就笑了起来。make it“获得成功，准时到达”。

9．C　根据上文中的“laughed”和下文中作者的爷爷所背诵的语句与该句话的主题的一致性可知，作者的爷爷对这句话所表达的主题是完全同意的。puzzlement“疑惑”；scepticism “怀疑”；agreement“赞同，同意”；disapproval“反对，不赞成”。

10．B　作者告诉爷爷她在漫长的冬天过后，最终看到春天，特别是偶然发现这句引语，自己是有多高兴。especially“特别，尤其”，符合语境。practically“实际地，差不多”；obviously“明显地”；naturally“自然而然地”。

11．D　春天就是一个可信的迹象，它表明生命是长存的。sign“迹象，征兆”符合语境。inspiration“鼓舞人心的人(或事物)”。

12．C　根据上文中的“I wasn't unhappy”，下文中的“rejoice(高兴)”“joy”及文章的主题可知，这句话使作者感到开心(merry)。astonished“震惊的”；energetic“精力充沛的”。

13．A　作者的爷爷又笑了笑，然后用他那悦耳的嗓音为作者背诵了他最喜欢的语句。in...voice是固定搭配，表示“以……的嗓音”。

14．D　参见上题解析。impressive“给人印象深刻的”；superb“极佳的，质量极高的”；classical“经典的”；favorite“最喜欢的”。

15．B　沙漠应该高兴，像玫瑰一样盛开。根据空后的“as the rose does”可知，flower“开花”符合语境。

16．B　多年后，当作者和丈夫驱车穿越一个有很多野花和盛开的仙人掌的沙漠时，她几乎又听到了爷爷笑着说“沙漠应该高兴”。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导时间状语从句，且在从句中作时间状语，故选when。

17．C　参见上题解析。almost“几乎，差不多”，符合语境。

18．D　根据空后的“the blooming of cactuses...”和上文中的“a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛开的)cactuses”及“The desert shall rejoice”可知，生命长存，同样的，我们也要坚持。生命长存于寂静的沙漠(desert)中和盛开的仙人掌里。

19．A　in the dead of winter“在隆冬，在严冬”。空前的dead形象地表现出了冬季万物萧条的景象，与春季的绿意及万物复苏的景象形成鲜明的对比。

20．C　春天提醒我们，我们永远充满活力。convince“使相信”；assure“使确信”；remind“提醒”；strike“突然想到”。

***短文改错

Li Ming is a friend of mine. I'm glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat two

years before. He got tired so easy that he couldn't take exercise, that made him very upset. Later, he realized unless he went on like that, he would end up achieve nothing. So he made up his minds to make a change. He went running every morning and played the basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables or less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overcome it with great determination and strong willpower.

答案：

Li Ming is a friend of mine. I'm glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat two years . He got tired so that he couldn't take exercise, made him very upset. Later, he realized he went on like that, he would end up nothing. So he made up his to make a change. He went running every morning and played basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overcome with great determination and strong willpower.

难项分析：

第一处：changed前加has　考查动词的时态。根据时间状语in the past two years可知，此处表示从过去开始发生的动作，并对现在造成了影响。因此，应用现在完成时。故在changed前加has。

第二处：before→ago　考查副词。before指从过去某刻起若干时间以前，常与完成时连用，ago指从此刻起若干时间以前，常与过去时连用。根据上下文可知，此处讲述的是过去的事情，故将before改为ago。

第五处：unless→if　考查连词。“he went on like that (他继续像那样)”是“he would end up ... nothing”的条件，因此应用if引导条件状语从句。故将unless改为if。

考前的心理准备，考前可通过心理暗示缓解紧张情绪，进行临场心理调节。紧张时可用“我能行”、“静心”、“认真”等自我暗示来稳定情绪，适当做做深呼吸。放松心情，减少压力，参加成考的学生需要将平时的家庭、学校、社会的压力全丢掉，轻装上阵。Coming back home in the evening, family and I sat and watched TV together, we are returning and eating the fruit while chatting, the whole family is happy and harmonious!考试要淡定。拿到试卷后，不要急于动笔，先浏览试题，粗略知道各题的难易、分值后合理安排答题时间。分值较小的题，如果一时做不出来，可先放一放，抢时间先做会做的题，然后再回头考虑本题。.I live very happily today! In the morning, it is very fine! Then I climb the mountain with family, the air on the mountain is very fresh, the flowers plants and trees on the mountain all seem extremely beautiful.

This kind of charm doesn't need any decoration.It comes out of your heart and reaches directly into others' hearts. 学习态度是指学习者对学习较为持久的肯定或否定的行为倾向或内部反应的准备状态。它通常可以从学生对待学习的注意状况、情绪状况和意志状态等方面加以判定和说明。So they choose to reach a compromise and become mediocre. They become the background colors in others' eyes.学生的学习态度，具体又可包括对待课程学习的态度、对待学习材料的态度以及对待教师、学校的态度等。认识成分是指学生对学习活动或所学课程的一种带有评价意义的认识和理解，它反映着学生对学习的价值的认识，它是学习态度的基础。

They won't achieve anything great to be written down in history, nor can they bring any enjoyment to the people around them. 学习态度调节学习行为，还表现在学生对学习环境的反应上。当学生在学习态度与教学环境上保持一致时，就积极努力地学习。但如果由于某些原因对学习环境（如教师、学校等）产生不良态度时，则会回避学习环境并产生不利于学习的不良行为，如逃学、反抗等。
