Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to  36 others how their positions, statements and points of view are   37  and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow   38  it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been   39  by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever   40  you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   43  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest   44  of the human heart. And those who learn to   45  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46  of correcting others are often hated and   47 .
A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice  48    others the joy of being right--- give them the glory.   49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than   50  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to   51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   53  possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s  54  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos(自我意识). Starting today, and let others be “  55  ” most of the time.

解析试题分析:本文讲述了在我们的人生中,我们要学会宽容别人,学会谅解别人不要总是纠正,学会倾听,才能得到别人的爱戴。
【小题1】 B  showsb.sth.“给某人展示……”。此处指有些人总是指出别人的立场、观点等是错误的。show后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。干扰性比较大的是teach,teach。b.ste教(会)某人什么,但后面一般不跟从句。
【小题2】C 由下文“纠iE"别人可知。文章的第一段用以提出问题,有些人老是指出别人的观点、立场等“不对”,因此选incorrect,相当于wrong。其他选项“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都与前后文出现的“纠正"别人在表达的逻辑上不一致。
【小题3】B  appreciate此处意为“感激”。有些人在指出别人 错误的同时,期望别人会“感激”他们。首先refuses!拒绝”在此与作者所表达的意义相反,consider“考虑”,understand“理解”都没有把握好上下文的联系和提示。上文已经提到thank一词。
【小题4】A 此处作者以反问的形式指出:你在“纠正’’别人的时候,别人感激过你吗?correct此处用作动词,意为“纠正”。fooled"欺骗”,helped"帮助”,与“感激’’在逻辑上矛盾;taught"教学”,意义不通。
【小题5】D 此处整句都是作者的反问,言外之义:你在纠正别人的时候,别人并没有“感激”你,而是怨恨你、对你敬而远之。rewarded"报答”,cared"在乎”,accepted"接受”,意义上似乎都沾点边,但都脱离了上下文的逻辑和提示。
【小题6】 C  atone'sexpense意为“以牺牲……为代价”。此处有踩着别人的肩膀往上爬之意。英语中。none's side是“站在某人一边”;prtce指的是“价格”;cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”。
【小题7】B 此处作者指出实际的情况:我们都“不喜欢、痛恨”被别人“纠正”,hate to be done"痛恨、不喜欢被……”。like“喜欢”,prefer"更喜欢”偏离了此处的意义;afford to do意为“有钱干……”。
【小题8】A 由后面的understood可知,我们都希望自己的立场得到别人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在语意上意味太强;receive"收到(具体的东西)”,realized"实现”不符合表达的需要。
【小题9】 D 指我们内心的“欲望”。shortcomings"缺点”,advantages"优点”,从意思上很容易排除;wishes干扰性较大,意思是“理想”,语意太强,而且与后面的 of the human heart不搭配。
【小题10】C 学会“倾听”别人的观点,才能得到别人的爱戴和尊敬。从不要老去纠正别人,而应该学会“倾听”这一角度,就能排除其他三个选项。
【小题11】B  beinthehabit of相当于have the habit of
【小题12】 A 由前面的“怨恨”可知,老是纠正别人会引起别人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”,不符合此处表达的意义;punished"惩罚”和scolded"批评”表达上太绝对。
【小题13】 D  allowsb.sth.“允许某人拥有……”。1et没有此搭配;lendsb.sth.意为“借给某人某物”;owesb.sth.意为“欠某人什么”。
【小题14】C 作者建议:“别再老是‘纠正’别人”,故用stopdoine"停止干……”。其他三个选项在搭配上都成立,但把握住作者的建议便可排除它们。
【小题15】B  jumpin相当于breakin"插话、打断别人”。理解了此处的意思,便可排除其他选项,break out当战争、火灾、争吵等“爆发”讲;break up当物体或关系“破裂”讲;breakoff当“挣脱”或“打断(锁链等)”讲。
【小题16】 A  stand意为“站得住脚、能成立”讲。last"持续”,work用作不及物动词,意为“起作用”,都脱离了作者表达的意图。
【小题17】D loving“友爱的”。helpful"有帮助的”,careful“细心的”,popular"流行的、受欢迎的”,此处应考虑与前面less defensive"减少敌意”在表达的逻辑上要一致。
【小题18】 C  dream"梦想”。此处作者表达的意思是:一旦你停止纠正别人,别人就会对你非常感激,超出你的期望。 此处应从“超出期望”这一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”,wanted“想”语意太弱。
【小题19】 B 目睹别人因为正确而获得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨难”,worries"担心的事”,success"成功”,都偏离了文章的意义。
【小题20】 A 由全文可知,这是作者议论的中心:让别人“对”吧。
考点:考查人生哲理类完型填空
点评:本文讲述了在我们的人生中,我们要学会宽容别人,学会谅解别人不要总是纠正,学会倾听,才能得到别人的爱戴。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力,即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑,不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此,在做题时最好将全文通读一下,了解了全文的意思以后再作答。

This is the age of being busy. Many of us live in busy places and have busy lives. Even the roads are busy as we try to get from here to there. Adults are busy going to jobs and taking care of their families. Kids are busy, too, going to school and doing a lot of homework after school and on weekends.

  Busy isn’t bad, necessarily. If you are not busy enough you might be bored. But if you are too busy, you might break down. For example, if you have a soccer game that runs late on a school night and you haven’t eaten dinner or done your homework, that’s a not-so-fun kind of busy. We wanted to know what kids thought, so we did a kidsPoll about being busy with 882girls and boys aged 9 to 13.

   Almost all of them said they felt stressed because they were too busy. About half said they felt this way once in a while or some of the time. But 17% said they felt this way most of the time and 24% said they felt this all the time! Oh dear, that’s no fun.

  Only 4% of kids said they wanted less free time and 18% said they already had just the right amount. But, no big surprise, 61% of kids wish they had a lot more free time. If they had more time, most would spend it hanging out or playing with friends.

 Often, adults plan large parts of a kid ’s day, especially during the school year. kids can’t tell their parents they’ll be skipping school(逃学) today to get more free time! But they can tell their parents they’d like to play a game or read a book during their free time instead of watching TV.

The purpose of the first paragraph is to _____.

A. Introduce the topic

B. Support the main idea

C. Raise the topic sentence

D. Attract the readers’ attention

By giving the example of a late soccer game, the writer intends to tell us______.

A. Being too busy is bad for the kids

According to the passage, the KidsPoll is done to carry out research on _____.

A. How kids arrange their free time

B. What kids think of being busy

A. Spend their free time hanging or playing out

B. Get a lot more free time from their parents

C. Have a right amount of free time with permission

D. Get more free time from school work sometimes

It’s a great sunny dayso it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather.Many of us would like tobut we have projects duetasks that need to be donepeople that we need to seeand money that needs to be made.

What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on timeSeewhen it comes to teamworkthe main focus is for the team to work together.In a “winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.

Take the example of the Chicago Bulls of the 1990s.Michael Jordan was the greatest basketball player to play the gamebut did they win a championship every year when Michael had playedNo.It took a (D?type) Michael Jordan to lead the team and control the outcome.It took a(n) (I?type) wild and energetic Dennis Rodman to keep the team fun and interesting.It took (S?types) Scottie PippinBill Cartwrightand John Paxson to support the team.And it took the (C?type) analytical mind of Coach Phil Jackson to create a foundation for the players to play on.In the end theythe Chicago Bullswere able to win six championships within eight years.

What is your team made up ofAll JordansAll JacksonsAll RodmansOr all PippinsCartwrights and PaxsonsIt is you who can choose who’s on your team.Try finding the right people for the right joband you will have a “winning” team every time!

A good friend of mine lives about one hour away. I called her last week and found out that she wasn’t doing well at work, which would make the following year a little more difficult. After hanging up the phone, I decided to offer to help her, but I couldn’t think of what to do. However, opportunities come themselves when you’re not even looking for.

A few days later, some friends and I happened to be eating desserts at a restaurant in her city. As we were looking at the menu, I turned to my friends and asked them if they wanted to join in a game. After explaining the idea, they decided to take 15 minutes to make someone’s day. We ordered an extra dessert, wrote a note, added a smile card and were off. However, there was one problem: I had no idea where she was.

Therefore, it was time to rely on the network. I called up a friend and got him to call her to see what she was doing and found out that she was at work.

We drove to her work place and one of my friends became the delivery(投递)person.He went in to look for my friend, found her, didn’t really answer her questions and walked out, saying he’s simply a delivery person.

He ran out quickly and I bent down as we drove by to make sure she didn’t follow him out. Afterwards, all of us had this huge smile on our faces. We felt as if we had just planned a surprise party or something.

A simple opportunity turned into a moment that many of us can now share.

A. Because she lives too far away from work. 

B. Because she was out of work.

C. Because she didn’t do well at work.    

D. Because she failed a test.

A. asking her friend herself by phone     

B. asking another friend to call her

C. asking what she was doing directly      

D. asking her friend herself on the Internet

A. joyful          B. thankful            C. pitiful        D. fearful

 

Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

1.The passage is probably written by      .

A. an experienced teacher        B. a city council member

C. an inspired student        D. a working parent

2.The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to "       ’.

A. environments        B. wages   C. holidays         D. benefits

3.It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to       .

A. 2 weeks         B. 6 weeks         C. 5 weeks         D. 4.5 weeks

4.The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____    .

A.      obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B.      get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

C.      have more school days to receive free school meals

D.      benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

5.It can be inferred from the passage that          _______.

A.      some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

B.      the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C.      the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"

D.      working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
