【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了和女儿去一个停车场卖鸡蛋,在停车场看见一个坐在路边的人,作者和女儿拿出了所有的鸡蛋钱帮助了他。

1考查非谓语动词。句意:今天我和女儿去停车场卖鸡蛋。此处要用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to sell

2考查副词。句意:今天非常冷。此处extreme要修饰形容词cold,故用其副词形式。extremely非常,极端地,副词。故填extremely

3考查非谓语动词。句意:当我们把车开进停车场时,有一个人坐在路边。sitting是动词-ing形式,此处用作后置定语,修饰man。故填sitting

4考查定语从句关系词。句意:手里拿着一个纸盘子,上面写着“愿意为食物工作”。本句的一个限定性定语从句,此处所填关系词前有介词,which指代前面的paper,指物,作介词on的宾语。故填which

5考查固定搭配。句意:于是我把车停在他旁边,下了车,把我所有的鸡蛋钱都给了他。此处是固定搭配next to(......旁边)。故填to

6考查名词单复数。句意:其前面有another dozen修饰,此处应该用名词egg的复数eggs。故填eggs

7考查连词。句意:我车里还有一打鸡蛋。根据上下文句意,所以我问他要不要,但没想到,他拒绝了。且设空处后有unexpectedly出人意料地,可知,此处应是转折关系,需用but。故填but

8考查名词。句意:他还有半打,他不想从别人那里得到超过他需要的捐赠。此处donation是名词形式,用作want的宾语。在句中表示来自他人的捐赠品,单数和复数均符合语境。故填donation(s)

9考查非谓语动词。句意:我和他站在那里谈了一分钟,觉得整个人都僵住了,他一定坐了好几个小时了。feel感觉,系动词,其后用形容词。且此处不强调与人的主被动关系,frozen被冻僵的;freezing感到寒冷的均符合语境。故填frozen / freezing

10考查时态。句意:我很高兴我们停下来了。此处stop是指之前作者正准备走时,看到这个人还在那里而停下来和他说话,所以用过去时态。stop停下,动词原形;stopped过去式。故填stopped

1小题考查了非谓语动词to do不定式表示目的的用法。不定式to do可以表示目的和将来之意。如:

1.I have something important to tell you..

2.I have a room to live in.

3.He has the ability to solve the problem by himself.

【题目】 I have been studying literature all the time, so someone asked me if l made the wrong choice by devoting myself to studying literature. I was deep in thought.

A good friend of mine took every single literature class she could while in college and decided early on that she wasn't cut out to be a teacher. Her parents were concerned because she wasn't really focused on becoming something that would pay the bills. In order to mollify their concerns, she took a library science course and told them she would regard library science as a career path. But she ended up taking a job as a communications assistant at a mid-size company and eventually became the director of communications. She put her literature studies to work in making company materials and has benefited a lot from that.

Another friend turned his love of Hemingway’s writings into inspiration for his artworks. Most people don’t stay at one job for their entire career. I can’t tell you how many teachers I worked with over the years give up teaching to paint houses, work in an advertising company, start a company, and so on. A degree is important for many places to get your foot in the door. But I think you should choose your job based on what you're really interested in,and no one says you have to do something for the rest of your work life.

Colleges generally don’t clue you in on the possible career paths available to you with your particular studies, but some are getting far better with guiding students toward the possibilities.Your reading, writing and analytical skills would be great advantages to many companies, so don’t think that your love of literature is going to leave you with few choices. So I didn’t feel sad to devote myself to studying literature.

1What does the underlined word “mollify” mean?

A.Express.B.Relieve.

C.Deepen.D.Realize.

2What does the author want to say by mentioning his friends?

3Which of the following does the author probably agree with?

A.Change your jobs frequently.B.Stay at one job for all your life.

C.Love whatever job you take up.D.Choose your job by your interest.

4From the passage, we can learn that the author _______________.

A.didn’t regret studying literature all the time

B.had a negative attitude towards literature learning

C.thought that love for literature held the key to career paths

D.thought that colleges should design career paths for students

【题目】A recent study surveyed 5,000 British families about their experiences with volunteering and their mental health. Participants completed the same survey every two years from 1996 to 2008.

About 20 percent of the survey participants reported doing regular unpaid work Researchers found that these volunteers also scored highest on their mental health scores. The two were linked so directly that the more a person volunteered, the happier they were.

One could argue a chicken-and-egg theory: happier people are more likely to have the time, money, energy and resources to give back to others. But even when researchers adjusted for education, social class and total health, the link was there, suggesting that the mental increase came from volunteering and not the other way around.

According to Dr. Stephen G. Post, author of The Hidden Gifts of Helping, when you help others, your brain releases feel-good chemicals, which can help cells repair themselves and grow. And this translates to better health.

So volunteering can help improve both your physical and mental health—on one condition. You have to mean it. People who volunteered for "self-oriental" reasons, either because they were forced to do so for work or school or because they were trying to get away from problems in their lives, had a mortality(死亡率)risk that was similar to those who didn't volunteer at all. It was only when people were volunteering out of a true sense of sympathy that they saw any health benefits.

So whether it's arranging books at the library or walking dogs at the animal shelter, find a cause that's important to you and give it a try. Volunteering is a good way to develop a sense of connection that not only helps your community, but may also be good for you.

1Who are healthier according to the study?

A. people who are happier.

B. people who are good at taking exams.

C. people that work as volunteers regularly.

D. people that make a large amount of money.

2Why does the author mention the chicken-and-egg theory?

A. To introduce a world-famous theory.

B. To point out that volunteering came first.

C. To prove happy ones would like to help others.

D. To tell us that the cause and the effect are mixed.

3What may be one of the "self-oriented" reasons?

A. You try your best to solve others' problems.

B. You are filled with pity for the foster kids.

C. You have the duty to look after the old.

D. You're always willing to help others.

4What is the text mainly about?

A. A chicken-and-egg theory.

B. Happiness has a lot to do with health.

C. A sense of connection is important to us.

D. Volunteering willingly is good for health.
