17.A man came to the USA from other country.After (61)settling(settle) down at an island,he went into a cafeteria to get something(62)to eat(eat).He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order,but nobody did.(63)Finally (final),a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him (64)how the cafeteria worked.
"Start out at that end,"she said."Just go along the line and pick out what you want.At(65)the other end they'll tell you how much you have to pay."
"I soon(66)learned(learn) how everything worked in the USA,"the man told his friend."Life's a cafeteria there.You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price.You can even get success,(67)butyou'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.You have to get up and get it(68)yourself."
You can't change the inevitable.The only thing you can do(69)is(be)to control your attitude.Once you reach that point in life,happiness and(70)satisfaction(satisfy) can't be too far away.

分析 本文讲述了一个从别的国家来到美国的人,通过在自助餐厅由不知如何进餐到学会了吃自助餐,从而得出了结论:生活是自助餐厅,只要你愿意付出代价,你就能得到任何你想要的东西,你甚至可以获得成功,但如果你等着别人把它带给你,你永远也得不到成功.

解答 61.settling考查动名词.因为After 是介词,后面动词应用动名词形式,句子主语和settle 之间是主动关系,所以填settling.  
62.to eat 考查非谓语.get something to do中to do 作定语修饰前面的不定代词,主动表示被动,故填to eat.
63.Finally考查副词.修饰整个句子用副词,final 是形容词,所以用它的副词形式,因为是句首,故填Finally.
64.how考查连词.句意:一位妇女告知他自助餐厅的吃饭是怎样运作的.这里是一个宾语从句,缺少引导词,根据句意应该用how.
65.the考查定冠词.根据前面一句"Start out at that end,"吃自助餐时,在那一端开始,所以根据句意At   65   other end 在另一段结束,one---theother---一方面---另一方面,故填the.
66.learned考查时态.本句叙述的是过去的一件事情,所以句子用一般过去时态.句意:这个男士告诉他的朋友,"在美国我不久就了解到每件事情怎样运作".故填learned.
67.but 考查连词.上句"你甚至能到达成功"与下句"如果你等着别人给你带来,你永远不会得到"之间是转折关系,故填but.
68.yourself考查反身代词.根据句意:你不得不站起来,靠自己得到它.可知此处应用反身代词,因为主语是you,故填yourself.
69.is考查时态和主谓一致.分析句子成分可知,The only thing是句子的主语为第三人称单数,本段叙述的是客观事实使用了一般现在时,所以本句也是一般现在时,故填is.
70.satisfaction考查名词.因为and连接并列成分,根据and前的名词happiness可知,此处应用satisfy的名词形式,故填satisfaction.

点评 语法填空题是考查学生的语言运用能力.解题时,要在理解文章的基础上,灵活运用语法知识,如词性,时态,名词单复数,连接词,代词,冠词等判断空白处应填写的内容.答完后,还要通读全文,核对所填单词形式是否正确,是否符合语境.

9.When I was in seventh grade,I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town.I volunteered about 30to 40hours a week during the summer.Most of the time I spent there was with Mr.Gillespie.He never has any visitors,and nobody seemed to care about his condition.I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him,helping with anything that needed to be done.He became a close friend of mine,even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand.Mr.Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).
I left for a week for a vacation with my parents,and when I came back,Mr.Gillespie was gone.I didn't have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was,for fear they might tell me he had died.So with many questions unanswered,I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.
Several years later,when I was a junior in high school,I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face.When I realized who it was,my eyes were filled with tears.He was alive!I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr.Gillespie,and if he had been in a coma about five years ago.With an uncertain look on his face,he replied yes.I explained how I knew him,and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital.His eyes welled up with tears,and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.He began to tell me how,as he lay there comatose (昏睡的),he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time.He thought it was an angel,who was there with him.Mr.Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive.Then he told me about his life.We exchanged a hug,said our good-byes and went our separate ways.
Although I haven't seen him since,he fills my heart with joy every day.I know that I made a difference between his life and his death.As importantly,he has made a great difference in my life.I will never forget him and what he did for me:He made me an angel.
21.When the author volunteered at a local hospital,sheC.

C.spent most of her time taking care of a man in a coma
D.became friends with Mr.Gillespie's visitors
22.The author didn't ask where Mr.Gillespie had gone becauseD.
A.she knew for sure that he had recovered
B.she forgot all about him when she returned to the hospital
C.she had been concerned that he might stay in coma forever

23.Judging from the article,which of the following statements is TRUE?B

D.Kindness is loving people more than they deserve.
6.Whenever we see a button,we are eager to press it because we know something will happen.This is true in most cases,for example on a doorbell and on the"on/off"button on the TV.But some buttons are actually fake,like the"close"button on a lift.
Many people are in the habit of pressing the"close"button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut.But lifts'"close"buttons are a complete scam (骗局),at least in the US-the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.
It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US,making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter.Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.
But to normal lift riders,the buttons aren't completely useless.According to psychologists,fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.
"Perceived (能够感知的) control is very important.It reduces stress and increases well-being,"Ellen J.Langer,a psychology professor,said,"having a lack of control is associated with depression."
Experts have revealed that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example,many offices in the US have fake thermostats(温度调节器) because people tend to feel better when they think they can control the temperature in their workspace.
But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little"white lies",they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close,it is considered to be worth the effort.
"That habit is here to stay,"John Kounios,a psychology professor,said."Even though I have real doubts about the traffic light buttons,I always press them.After all,I've got nothing else to do while waiting.So why not press the button in the hope that this one will work?"

32.What was the author's main purpose in writing the article?B
A.To describe some different kinds of fake buttons.
B.To analyze the functions of fake buttons.
C.To explain the advantages and disadvantages of fake buttons.
D.To explore people's different habits when it comes to pushing buttons.
33.In America,the"close"buttons on liftsB.
A.were specially designed to give people a sense of control
B.are fake for the convenience of disabled people
C.work only when people press them hard for a while
D.cannot speed up the process of closing the door in any case
34.The underlined part"for this same purpose"in Paragraph 6refers toA.
A.giving people perceived control
B.making people more patient
C.helping people to build up confidence
D.making people with depression feel better
35.According to John Kounios,people who press fake buttonsD.
A.don't know that what they press is fake
B.should give up this habit
C.consider what they do to be meaningless
