题目内容
【题目】When I was a kid, the thing I enjoyed most about New Year’s Eve was trying to stay awake until midnight. 【1】 However, I usually fell asleep before the New Year arrived. It wasn’t until my 10th birthday that I reached the finish line and was able to cheer with the rest of the family. When I woke up the next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s resolution.(决心要做的事).
【2】After she explained it to me, I said I would try to fight less with my older brother. This got me a smile and a pat (轻拍)on the head from my mom. Unfortunately, the resolution lasted only until dinnertime. 【3】
A New Year’s resolution is a decision to do or not do something in order to accomplish a personal goal or break a habit. It comes at a time when people look back at the past year and make an effort to improve themselves as the new year begins.
【4】 Kids make resolutions to get along better with others or to do their homework right away.
Remember that it takes work to keep a New Year’s resolution. 【5】 As long as you stay committed to what you want to accomplish, you’ll be a better person at the end of the year than you were at the beginning!
A.My parents didn’t force me to go to bed early.
B.I had no idea what a New Year’s resolution was.

【解析】
本文为夹叙夹议文。作者的妈妈在新年伊始会问作者是否有一个新年计划。在妈妈的解释下我明白了什么是新年计划。新年计划就是去实现自己的目标或打破自己的不好的习惯,以此来完善自己。每个人都有自己的新年计划。实现新年计划要付出努力,即使一两次做不到也没关系,只要坚持,年底就能做到。
【1】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据本空的上下文可知,本句是指在除夕守岁不睡觉的事。分析选项可知,只有A项(我的父母没有强迫我早点上床睡觉)与此段有关。根据本句中的however可知,当我还是个孩子的时候,我最喜欢新年前夜的事情就是尽量保持清醒直到午夜。但我通常在新年之前就睡着了,可知,是自己睡着了,而不是父母没有强迫我早点上床睡觉而睡着了。由此可知A项符合题意,故选A。
【2】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文的内容“When I woke up the next morning, my mom asked me if I wanted to make a New Year’s resolution..”可知,当我第二天早上醒来时,我妈妈问我是否想做一个新年计划,以及下文“she explained it to me”。由此可知,下文的回答与a New Year’s resolution有关,分析选项可知B项(I had no idea what a New Year’s resolution was.)与本句有词a New Year’s resolution的复现,并且意义一致,放入句中检验“妈妈问我的“是否想制订新年计划”但我不知道什么是新年计划。所以 B项符合题意,故选B。
【3】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上文可知,我告诉妈妈新年计划就是尽量少和哥哥打架,可是“新年计划只持续到吃饭的时候(就完了)”,这是因为“我和我哥哥就谁来摆桌子的问题发生了争执”。这也印证了最后一段所说的,一、两次做不到没关系,新年计划的实施需要努力和坚持。根据上下文的语境可知G项(原因就是我和我哥哥就谁来摆桌子的问题发生了争执。)符合题意,故选G项。
【4】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段是承上启下的句子,承接第三段的内容的。第三段的内容“新年计划是决定做或不做某事来实现个人目标或打破习惯而做的决定。人们回顾过去的一年,努力在新的一年开始时完善自己。”启下,即第四段的内容可知孩子们的新年计划…,上一句应该是成年人的计划。分析选项可知F项(成年人经常制定新年决心来减肥或更多锻炼)与改善自我相呼应。放入句中检验可知,F项符合题意,故选F项。
【5】考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据空前空后的内容“记住,新年的决心需要付出努力。……只要你坚持做你想做的事,到年底你就会比刚开始做的更好!” 可推断出做事不要害怕失败,只要坚持就会做到。分析选项,可知C项(如果你一次或两次没有做到,也不要担心)符合题意,故选C项。
