4．On keeping a Diary in English
Keeping a diary in English is an （61）effective（effect） way to improve our English writing ability．Compared（62）with other forms of writing，it is shorter and takes （63）less（little） time．It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English．（64）Ifwe keep up in this practice，gradually we'll learn how to express ourselves in English．In keeping a diary in English，we certainly run up against many （65）difficulties（difficult）．In the first place，（66）Itoften happens that we have trouble（67）（in） finding（find）appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind．Secondly，there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese．And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly．
As far as I （68）am concerned（concern），my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach．Whenever something beats us，we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary．We can also turn to our English teacher for help，if necessary．In short，I believe that it is （69）ofgreat use to keep a diary in English for the（70）development（develop） of our writing skills．

分析 记英语日记是提供英语写作能力的有效方式之一，与其他写作形式相比，日记比较短小，用时少，它能培养我们用英语思考的习惯．如果能坚持写英语日记，慢慢我们就能学会用英语思考．当然写英语日记过程中会遇到困难，例如找不到合适的单词或短语去表达．我认为随身携带一个笔记本和汉英词典，当遇到打动我们的东西，随时查找词典记下来；我们还可以在必要的时候去找老师得到帮助．总之，记英语日记对提供我们的写作技能是有很大用处的．

解答 61．effective；考查形容词，此处用形容词形式作定语修饰名词way．   
62．with；考查介词，compared with是固定短语，意为"与…相比"．
63．less；考查比较级，根据句意"与其他写作形式相比，日记比较短小，用时间较少"，可知这里应该用比较级形式less．   
64．If；考查连词，分析句意为"如果能坚持这个练习，慢慢我们就能学会用英语思考"，所有这里用if引导一个条件状语从句．  
65．difficulties；考查名词，many修饰可数名词复数形式，故此处用difficulties．
66．that；考查固定句型，It happens/happened  that…是固定句型结构，意为"碰巧…，恰好…"．
67．（in） finding；考查固定搭配，have trouble （in）doing 是固定搭配，意为"做某事有困难"．    
68．am concerned；考查固定搭配，as far as I am concerned是固定搭配，意为"就我个人而言"．
69．of；考查介词，"be of+名词"是 固定结构，相当于名词相对应的形容词，这里 is of great use 意为"very useful"．
70．development；考查名词，介词of后面跟名词形式构成介宾结构．

点评 首先要通读全文，了解大意，抓住上下文语境所提供的信息，明确空格所要填的词义，词型和短语搭配，给出所要填的正确形式，然后整体阅读，核对答案．

12．When someone has deeply hurt you，you may feel （61）itvery difficult to let go of your anger．But forgiveness is possible and it can be （62）of great benefit to your health．So far，research （63）has shown（show） that people who forgive have more energy，better appetite and better sleep．"People who forgive show（64）less（little） anger and more hopefulness，"says Dr．Frederic Luskin，（65）whowrote the book Forgive for Good．"So it can help reduce the tiredness and allow people to feel more （66）energetic（energy）．"
So when someone hurts you，cool down first．Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love．Don't wait for an apology．"Many times the person who hurt you may never consider（67）apologizing（apologize），"says Dr．Luskin．"They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things （68）the same way．"
Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean accepting（69）whatthe person has done to you．Finally，try to see things from that person's perspective （观点）．To achieve it，just put（70）yourself（you） in that person's place．
19．There are many expressions with the word"dog"．
（36）G They take their dogs for walks，give them good food and medical care．However，dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life．The expression，lead a dog's life，describes a person who has an unhappy existence．
When we say we live in a dog-eat-dog world．（37）F A person has to work hard like a dog to be successful．Such hard work can make people dog-tired．And，the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog．
Still，people say every dog has its day．This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life．（38）A Yet，some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks．They believe that older people do not like to learn new skills and will not change the way they do things．
Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways．People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as junkyard dogs living in places where people throw away things they do not want．Junkyard dogs are often used to guard this property．They bark or attack people who try to enter the property．However，sometimes a person who appears to be mean and threatening is really not so bad．（39）C
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather．The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year．（40）B But we do not want it to rain cats and dogs．

A．To be successful，people often have to learn new skills．
B．A rainstorm may cool the weather．

13．We spent a day in the country，picking wild flowers．Our car looked like a flower shop inside!On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights，and then my wife noticed the cupboard．It was tall and narrow，and it stood outside a furniture shop．"Buy it，"she said at once"We'll carry it home on the roof rack （行李架）．I've always wanted one like that．"What could I do？Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer，and the cupboard was tied on to the roof rack．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea．
After a time my wife said，"There are a line of cars behind．Why don't they overtake（超车），I wonder？"
In fact a police car did overtake．The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed．But then with great kindness，they led us through the rush-hour traffic．The police car stopped at our village church．One of the officers came to me．
I was puzzled．"Thanks，officer，"I said．"You've been very kind．I live just down the road．"
He was staring at our load：first at the flowers，then at the cupboard．"Well，well，"he said，laughing，"It's a cupboard you've got here!We thought it was…er，something else．"
My wife began to laugh．Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes．I smiled at the officer．"Yes，it's a cupboard，but thanks again．"I drove home as fast as I could．

14．Some people are like homing pigeons； Drop them off anywhere．and they'll find their way around．Other people．through，can't tell holding a map upside down．Are the directionally challenged just bad learners？
Not all of your navigational（导航的）skills are learned．Research shows that your sense of direction is innate．An innate ability is something you are born with．Your brain has special navigational neurons--head-direction cells，place cells，and grid cells（网格细胞）--and they help program your inside compass when you're just a baby．
In 2010．scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rates'activity in their brains．Although the rats were newborns．the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells（which help them recognize the direction they're facing） were fully grown and developed．The rats．it seemed．were born with a sense of direction．And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet!
Humans．of course，are not rats．But the hippocampus--the brain we use for navigation--is similar in most mammals．If the rat's compass develops this way．then it's likely a human's compass does，too．
If we're born with a sense of direction．then why are some people so good at getting lost？The scientists found that the two other cells---place and grid cells--developed within the first month．Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind．while gird cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places．The two cells work together，and that's where the trouble might be．
People who took part in a 2013study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places．Monitoring their brains．the scientists．According to researcher Michael Kahana，differences in how gird cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others．

32．What did the 2010 research find？A
A．Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions
B．Rats'hipppcampus is different from that of humans
C．Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes
D．Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups
33．What do we know about our navigational neurons？D
A．Place cells let us know how to read a map
B．Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to
C．They help us use a compass when we lose our way
D．Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells
34．Why are some people so good at getting lost？B
A．They can't remember landmarks
B．Their grid cells can't work very well
C．They are unfamiliar with new places
D．Their ability to follow directions is poor
35．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Human navigational skills           B．The compass in rats'body
C．Why grid cells are useful           D．How homing pigeons work．
