【解析】

试题分析:本文属于记叙文,讲述儿子在暑假里辛勤工作挣钱给自己买了一辆赛车,但为了给妈妈送生日礼物,他把赛车卖了给母亲买了一把吉他。

【1】himself 考查反身代词。动词短语buy sb sth给某人买某物;本句中使用反身代词himself作为动词buy的宾语构成动词短语buy oneself sth意为“给自己某买某物”,语气较强烈。句意:我整个夏天都在努力工作,挣得了足够的钱给他自己买了一辆新赛车。

【2】that 考查状语从句。句式“so...that....如此...以至于....”,如果that从句中没有情态动词,那么就是结果状语从句,如果从句中有情态动词,就是目的状语从句。本句是结果状语从句。句意:我如此喜欢我的儿子,以至于我给他买了一副太阳镜和手套。

【3】of 考查动词短语。短语dream of doing sth梦想做某事;句意:他梦想着能够参加比赛并获得胜利。

【4】a 考查不定冠词。不定冠词a/an通常修饰可数名词表示泛指,本句中使用a修饰可数名词guitar。句意:在桌子上我发现了一个吉他。

【5】saying 考查非谓语动词。动词say与名词a card构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词saying在句中做短语修饰先行词a card。

【6】joked 考查时态。本句中副词“once曾经”在句中做时间状语,通常和过去时连用,表示过去发生的事情。

【7】forgotten 考查时态。本句使用过去完成时“had+过去分词”的形式,所以使用过去分词forgotten。

【8】seriously 考查副词。在英语中副词通常在句中做状语修饰形容词、副词或动词,而形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词。本句中使用副词seriously与动词take构成短语“take sth seriously认真对待某事”。

【9】how 考查状语从句连词。本句中连词how引导状语从句并在句中作为方式状语。句意:当我知道我的儿子怎么能够给我买如此昂贵的礼物的时候,我很快就意识到他把赛车卖了给我买这个吉他。

【10】 to get 考查不定式用法。本句中不定式短语在句中做目的状语,儿子把赛车卖掉的目的就是为了给我买吉他。

【题目】As a child, I always thought about what the college admissions process would look like for me. I dreamed of the day when I’d get my first acceptance letter, and go on to learn as much as I could about many things as possible.

However, as I got older, my fears of going to college augmented. I’m a senior now, and the college admissions process isn’t exactly what I dreamt of when I was 7 years old. There are deadlines to meet, majors to choose, and how am I going to pay for all of this ? My mind plays tricks on me, convincing that my roommate will hate me and that my classes will be horribly boring and that each day will begin at five in the morning. To be honest, while I have many reasons to be excited for the next journey in my educational pursuits, I’m also scared to death.

I’ve invested hours upon hours studying for AP tests, SATs and ACTs. My peers and I sacrificed our Friday night football games, school dances and field trips to do better in studies in school. But is it all worth it ? What if the promise of college ends up being disappointing rather than a relief ?

In a year from now, my whole life will change. I’ll be a legal adult. My dorm might be in Paris, Los Angeles or Chicago. I’ll be doing my own laundry, cooking my own food and paying for things on my own. I’ll meet entirely new people and say goodbye to others. But isn’t that also the joy of life ? I want to experience joy, heartbreak, first times and new adventures.

College freaks me out, but you know what scares me more ? I must leave my life inside a comfort zone. It’s a big, bright and beautiful world, and I think it’s finally time for me to walk in it with the confidence at this time, I’ll be doing it right.

【题目】Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.

New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.

When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.

To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.

When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.

The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.

B. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo

C. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fish

D. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased

【4】According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?

A. To surround himself with that culture.

B. To create an island of the old one.

C. To see random images of China.

D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.
