【解析】 本文主要讲述了怀孕6个月的作者带着女儿去附近的一家杂货店买一些晚餐吃的东西,不料却遭遇大雨,中国的一对夫妇把他们的送伞送给了作者,从而让作者记得这对中国夫妇的友善。

1challenging

考查形容词作表语。句意:当你怀孕六个月并且带一个2岁的女孩的时候去城市旅游真的很有挑战性。本句中缺少表语。动词challenge句中在不能表语,要用challenging,,故要用challenging。

2without

考查介词。句意:因为没有下雨的迹象,商店就在拐角处,所以我们没带雨伞就去了。根据句意,因为没有下雨的迹象,又离的近所以是不用带伞的,without prep. 没有故填without.

3when

考查固定搭配。句意:然而,我们正要离开商店,这时雨下得很大。Were/was about to do…when…,正要做这个时候。因此要填when。

4 by/with

考查固定搭配。句意:看来几分钟之内街上就会被水淹没。Be flooded with/by…….淹没.故填by/with。

5us

考查个名词。I noticed a young Chinese couple staring at ___(we).根据句子结构可知we在句中作at 的宾语,而we 是主格,不能做宾语,故要用宾格us.

6why

考查副词。句意:我想他们可能想知道为什么一个怀孕的外国人在雨中拽着她的小孩。一个怀孕的妈妈在雨中带着个小孩确实让人不解,所以才用why为什么。

7the

考查冠词。句意:但是当我们穿过街道时,那个女人给了我她的伞。特指上文中的那对夫妻中的女的,特指要用the.

8handed

考查谓语动词。句意:我告诉她我不能接受它,因为它显然开始有风暴了。她坚持把伞交给我,然后和她丈夫一起匆匆离去。本句中缺少谓语动词,又是发生在过去,故要用一般过去时,因此选handed.

9unexpectedly

考查副词。句意:虽然是意外地遇到大雨,我们仍然珍惜这段记忆。分析上文可知作者带着女儿去不远处的地方买东西没想到却遭遇大雨, 故用unexpectedly。

10friendliness

【题目】When I was watching a sports event yesterday, I met with an amazing sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of pure courage and determination.

The event was swimming. I watched a man dive off the blocks and knew right away that something was wrong.

Some even began to stand and yell things like, "Come on, you can do it!" He did. The crowd went wild.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to take part in the event.

You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

Procrastination

You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

【1】 Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

Negative self-talk

2 Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

3

Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

4 Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 5 Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

A. Not resting your mind.

B. Using your brain regularly.

C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.

【题目】I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career.

I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.

I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.

Now I’ve got a full-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.

With the cold weather season rapidly approaching, caring for dry skin may become more challenging. Here are some tips on how to protect your skin and keep it healthy throughout the colder months of the year.

【1】

Avoid harsh(刺激性的) cleansers containing sulfates or alcohol, and choose a gentle cleanser. Harsh cleansers may disrupt the PH balance of your skin and cause dryness.

Switch to a face oil

2 In order to avoid dryness, rub about 3 to 5 drops of oil the palm of your hands and then gently pat it into the skin. Face oils offer the benefit of conditioning the skin and protecting it from the cold air.

Exfoliate(去死皮)

Exfoliating is very important because it helps to get rid of dead skin cells and encourages skin cell renewal. 3 However, especially when the skin is feeling extra dry, it is important to use a gentle product and not to overdo it.

4

If you don’t feel thirsty and struggle with taking in enough liquids, try to drink tea, sweetened with a little raw honey. Dehydrated skin cells have a slower turnover rate, which results in dull skin and more visible fine lines.

5 The most advantage is that you will spend the cold season with comfort and confidence.

A. Drink plenty of water

B. Eat homemade soups

C. Use mild facial cleansers

D. Follow the above tips, you may own nice skin and look better.

E. Here are three of the most common example of skin discomfort.

F. After cleansing your face, your skin still takes the risk of dryness.

G. Moreover, dead skin cells won’t allow your face oil to enter the skin deeply.
