题目内容

14．Jean Nicole is a crazy yard sale lover．Not wanting to miss any chance to buy good things，she makes an（61）appearance（appear） almost in every yard sale．She believes that things in a yard sale are much（62）cheaper（cheap） than those in shops．Jean is interested in almost everything，such as gloves，paintings，old coins and tables．No wonder she（63）is called
（call）"Lady Yard-sale"by her friends．
Two weeks ago，after Jean came back （64）from a yard sale，she entered her storeroom．She was surprised （65）to find（find） that she had bought so many things．Jean counted them and made a list，"Oh，dear!I can't believe it．Up to now，I （66）have brought（buy） seven bicycles，nine armchairs，and fifteen cameras，many of （67）which haven't been used even once．"She（68）carefully（careful） checked the numbers again，which made her mad．"I have wasted too much money over the years．（69）How silly I am!"she thought．"I will no longer go to yard sales until I hold my own one to sell these things．（70）But the question is whether anyone will buy them．"

分析 本文主要介绍Jean Nicole疯狂购物．结果有一天她发现储藏室里有太多的东西，于是她决定不再购旧货，她想把这些旧货卖掉，但谁会买呢？

解答 61．appearance 考查名词．an后接名词，动词appear的名词是appearance．
62．cheaper 考查比较级．根据句中than，要用形容词比较级．
63．is called 考查动词语态．she与call之间是动宾关系，用一般现在时的被动语态．
64．from 考查介词．根据句意：她从旧货出售市场回来．用介词from．
65．to find 考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式表原因．
66．have brought 考查动词时态．根据句时间状语Up to now，要用现在完成时态．
67．which 考查定语从句．分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句，先行词seven bicycles，nine armchairs，and fifteen cameras作介词of的宾语，用关系代词which．
68．carefully 考查副词．check是动词，用副词修饰．
69．How 考查感叹句．由how引导的感叹句结构形式是：How+adj．/adv．+主语+谓语．
70．But 考查连词．前后两个单数表示转折关系，用连词but．

点评 在一篇200词左右的语篇（短文或对话）中留出10处空白，部分空白的后面给出单词的基本形式，要求考生根据上下文填写空白处所需的内容或所提供单词的正确形式，所填写词语不得多于3个单词．要做好语法填空题，理解短文是解题的前提，扎实的词汇、句型和语法知识是基础，英语国家的背景知识是必要的补充．考生须灵活运用语法知识，如单词词性、单词时态、名词单复数、连接词、代词、冠词等判断各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．

2．A new book written by a Chinese American on her super-strict parenting-"Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother"has raised fierce debates in the US．
Amy Chua is a Yale Law School professor and the mother of two teenage girls．She is the daughter of Chinese immigrants．In the Chinese culture，the tiger represents strength and power．In her book，Ms．Chua writes about how she demanded excellence from her daughters．Chua writes that her daughters，Sophia and Louisa，were never allowed to go on a date，be in a school play，watch TV or play computer games．They couldn't choose their own after-class activities or get any grade less than an A．They had to play the piano or violin-and no other musical instruments．
She writes that if a Chinese child gets a B-which she says"would never happen"-there would be"a screaming，hair-tearing explosion．"She describes making her 7-year-old daughter play a piano piece perfectly-yelling，not letting her leave the bench and even using the bathroom-until it was．
Many people have criticized Amy Chua．Some say her parenting methods were abusive （虐待的）．She even admits that her husband，who is not Chinese，objected to her parenting style．But she says that was the way her parents raised her and her three sisters．
Stacy Debroff，who has written four books on parenting，says Amy Chua's parenting style is not limited to Chinese families．She says it represents a traditional way of parenting among immigrants seeking a better future for their children．But she also sees a risk．When children have no time to be social or to follow their own interests，they might not develop other skills that they need to succeed in life．Stacy Debroff advises parents not to just repeat the way they were raised．
Alison Lo，an assistant professor of marketing at the University of Washington's Bothell campus，says，"I don't think Amy is advocating a best practice of parenting style，or that success and achievements are critical yardsticks of a good life．But I can imagine how strong her daughters'college applications are going to be．For many parents whose dreams are seeing their kids graduating from a competitive university，Amy is sharing with the readers that it is achievable by persistent，devoted parental guidance，"Lo says，"In that sense，a young adult's giftedness can be born，or made．"

27．We can learn that Amy Chua isD．
A．an assistant professor      B．an easy-going woman
C．a cruel teacher             D．a demanding mother

9．It's well-known that meditation （冥想） has many benefits，but do you know how to practice it for a beginner？
Set a proper scene
Find a space for meditation．It should be private and quiet．Make sure the temperature is comfortable．Sit on a cushion （垫子） if the floor is uncomfortable．You may play soft music if you like．
                                 ．
Take a moment to loosen up．Remember that the goal of meditation is to relax．Loosen your clothing，remove your shoes and have a good stretch．Do your best to ease any muscle tension that might keep you from achieving relaxation．Make an effort to relax your facial muscles．
Focus on your breath
Sit down in the space you've prepared．Close your eyes and breathe．Each time you breathe in，count"one"．Each time you breathe out，count"one"．The idea is to strengthen being in the moment-the last breath doesn't matter，and the next one doesn't matter； only this one matters．
Feel your breath inflate （胀大） your lungs and push on your diaphragm （隔膜）．Feel how sweet it is to inhale the fresh air．As you do this，your body will gradually begin to relax and all of your attention will be centered within your mind．
Return to real life
Once you feel fully centered in your mind，allow yourself to gradually drift back to real life．Move your fingers and toes and slowly wake your body up．Open your eyes and remain there for a few minutes until your senses come back，and then slowly stand up．
Even if you can't make it fully into your mind，you still get some benefits from it．If you want to feel better，you just need to practice．Set about 10 minutes around the same time every day and repeat this exercise．

6．Some musicians used to give performances in pubs or clubs before they become famous．
3．As tomato season comes，we can clearly realize that tomatoes offered in supermarkets all the year round can't compare with those that are just picked．After all，the rule of keeping tomatoes fresh is not to refrigerate（冷藏）them，which means that any tomato transported from far away will never be as good as one that is just picked．
Researchers from the U．S Department of Agriculture say they're found an easy way to keep supermarket tomatoes tasting great：Heat them up first．"To produce a better tasting tomato，we added a hot water pre-treatment step to the usual rule that growers follow，"Professor Jinhe Bai said．"We found that this pre-treatment step prevents flavor loss because of being stored in refrigerators．"
Because tomatoes often have a long way to go between being picked and reaching the supermarket shelves，farmers have to pick them while the fruit is green．The tomatoes are kept at a cold 41to 55degrees Fahrenheit during their trip to the store，which keeps them from producing enough enzymes（酶）that give tomatoes their smell and flavor．But when Bai and his team let green tomatoes sit in a bath of hot water for a few minutes，the tomatoes produced large amounts of the enzymes，keeping them tasty even after refrigeration．
The method isn't even the only one his group has experimented with．Growing green tomatoes with a kind of special oil or treating green tomatoes with a gas might also keep them fresh without having to be stored in refrigerators．
Bai even admits that refrigerated tomatoes can't hold a candle to fresh ones．"Generally，tomatoes should be picked when they turned completely red and then sold immediately，"Bai says．
32．The method of keeping tomatoes fresh is toD．
A．put them in a bag with other fruits    
B．add some special oil to refrigerators
C．wash them in hot water before eating them
D．put them in hot water before refrigerating them
33．Many green tomatoes are picked early to make sureD．
A．they can be easily stored          
B．they taste better than red ones
C．they can be sold at a good price   
D．they are still fresh in supermarkets
34．Why do tomatoes become less delicious after being kept in refrigerators？A
A．They don't produce enough enzymes．
B．The temperatures are not low enough．
C．The refrigerators also store other foods．
D．The flavor changes easily in closed spaces．
35．What can be inferred from Bai's words in the last paragraph？D
A．It's better to grow tomatoes by ourselves．
B．It's convenient to store tomatoes in refrigerators．
C．It's necessary to hold a candle when picking tomatoes．
D．It's impossible to keep tomatoes as fresh as they're just picked．
4．He wasin rags（衣衫褴褛） when spotted by rescue workers．
