Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very  小题1: things are hand written. All too often, people buy a pen based only on  小题2:, and wonder why they are not satisfied  小题3: they begin to use it. However, buying a pen that you’ll enjoy is not  小题4: if you keep the following in mind.
First of all, a pen should fit comfortably in your hand and be  小题5:  to use. The thickness of the pen is the most important characteristic  小题6: comfort. Having a small hand and thick fingers, you may be comfortable with a thin pen. If you have a  小题7: hand and thicker fingers, you may  小题8: a fatter pen. The length of a pen can 小题9: influence comfort. A pen that is too  小题10: can easily feel top-heavy and unstable.
Then, the writing point of the pen should  小题11: the ink to flow evenly(均匀地)while the pen remains in touch with the paper.  小题12: will make it possible for you to create a  小题13: line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to  小题14: ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the    小题15:   may leave drops of ink,  小题16: you pick the pen up and put it down again.
 小题17:, the pen should make a thick, dark line. Fine-line pens may  小题18: bad handwriting, but fine lines do not command  小题19: next to printed text, as,  小题20: , a signature on a printed letter. A broader line, on the other hand, gives an impression of confidence and authority(权威).

试题分析:许多人在使用钢笔的时候不知道什么样的笔才是好笔,在购买的时候只注重其外表,二忽略了好的钢笔所需的重要特点。本文给你在选购钢笔时提出了几点建议。
小题1:C现在有了打字机,动手写的材料当然是很"少"了。
小题2:B根据上下文内容,很多人买钢笔只注重钢笔的外表,而忽略了其它重要的东西。
小题3:A许多人都很想知道为什么钢笔不好使用的原因。"once"表示"一旦......就......"。
小题4:B人们对使用的钢笔不满意,是因为他们在购买时没有选好。如果记住以下几点,购买一支你称心的钢笔当然就不会"困难"了。
小题5:B满意的钢笔当然是"容易"使用。
小题6:A粗细是决定舒适度的最重要的特征。其他选项不合语境。
小题7:D与上句中的"small hand"对应。
小题8:C如果你手大指粗,你"更愿意"使用粗笔了。其他选项动词不合语义:recommend推荐,prepare准备,demand需要
小题9:B前面讲述了钢笔的粗细决定了使用是否舒适,接下来钢笔的长度,因此用副词"also"符合语境。
小题10:C从后面的fel top-heavy and unstable可以知道使用的钢笔太"长"。
小题11:A笔尖应该是"允许"墨水均匀地流出的。其它选项不合语义。change改变,reduce降低,press挤压。
小题12:D这里用"this"指代前面的情况。
小题13:C这样的笔才可能写出"流畅"的文字。
小题14:A笔尖当然也要能"防止"墨水流淌出来。其它选项不合语境。free使自由,protect保护,remove迁移.
小题15:D不能阻挡墨水"流出"的笔尖就会产生墨点。
小题16:B用"as"符合前后分句的逻辑关系,即"当你提起笔又放下的时候"。
小题17:D该句上两段的首句连接词"First of all, Then",所以这里应该用Finally。
小题18:C钢笔书写出的"好线条"可以"弥补"蹩脚书法的不足。show up露面;differ from与......不同;break down分解,发生故障;compensate for补偿。
小题19:A在打印稿中,纤细精致的笔划不醒目让你"注意、留意"。其他选项不合语境。
小题20:B从a signature on a printed letter可知这里是"举例"说明
点评:本文给你在选购钢笔时提出了几点建议。从本篇完型我们可以看出完形的考查趋势。突出考察学生词汇与结构,词汇与结构这部分既是整个考试的基础,也是本题考察的重点部分,在以后的复习中,要特别重视词汇与语法的复习,重视自己基础的夯实与提高,只有这样,才能以不变应万变,在高考中中立于不败之地。另外在答题注意上下文理解,同时结合逻辑推理进行答题,题目就能迎刃而解了。

Who says constant texting is just a bad habit? The teenager with the fastest thumbs in the country was crowned on Wednesday at the LG US National Texting Championship in New York City, winning $50,000 after a series of fierce texting battles.
16-year-old Austin Wiershke comes from Rhinelander, Wisconsin of the United States. He took home the top prize at the fifth annual texting event, beating 11 other competitors in the final, including last year’s champion Brianna Hendrickson from Brooklyn, New York.
Wiershke, who was wearing a gray shirt and having Justin Bieber’s hairstyle, sailed through each level of the competition by typing passages of text on a QWERTY keyboard rapidly without any mistaken. One special round even included being blindfolded(蒙眼) on the state to make up phrases by memory.
“I’m extremely nervous,” Wiershke said while waiting for the results after the final round. “I’m getting ready to hear Brianna’s name. When I heard my name was announced, I really couldn’t believe my ears.” After the announcement was made, confetti(五彩纸屑) dropped from the ceiling and Wiershke was met on the stage by the singer who said that she liked texting very much. She was Ashley Tisdale, a famous and beautiful singer, who awarded him his check.
In August, a film on Music Television called “Thumbs” took a behind-the –scenes look at the teenager’s life. It shows how he practiced texting to be the fastest. The film followed a series of young texting competitors, including Brianna Hendrickson, in the weeks leading up to this year’s LG US National Texting Championship. Besides showing the always –connected lifestyle of these teenagers nationwide, the mover also shows the studies, sports , dreams and friendships among these competitors.

Everyone has got two personalities (个性) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behaviour, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.
If you go to sleep on your back, you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You don't like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident. 
If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive (不坦率的) person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. You're very stubborn (顽固的), but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
If you sleep curled up (卷曲), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive (戒备的). You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt.
If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.
小题1:According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _______.
A.only in a normal night
B.only when you go to sleep
C.only when you refuse to show yourself to the world
D.only when you change sleeping position
小题2:Which is NOT mentioned in the second paragraph about a person's personality?
A.He or she is always open with others.
B.He or she always likes new ideas earlier than others.
C.He or she is always easily upset.
D.He or she tends to believe in others.
小题3:You may not want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up and the reason is that __________.
A.he or she would rather be alone than communicate with you
B.he or she is rarely ready to help you
C.he or she prefers staying at home to going out
D.he or she wouldn't like to get help from you
小题4:It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because __________.
A.he or she always shows sympathy for people
B.he or she is confident, but not stubborn
C.he or she has more strengths than weaknesses
D.he or she often considers annoying people
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition.Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity.Others say that competition is bad, that it sets one person against another, that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills.For them, playing well and winning are often, life-and-death affairs.In their single-minded pursuit of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude.In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society.Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail.They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try."What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition .
小题1:What does this passage mainly talk about?
A.Competition helps to set up self-respect.
B.Opinions about competition are different among people.
C.Competition is harmful to personal quality development.
D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.
小题2:Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?
A.It builds up a sense of duty.
B.It pushes society forward.
C.It improves personal abilities.
D.It encourages individual efforts.
小题3:The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A.those who try their best to win
B.those who value competition most highly
C.those who are against competition most strongly
D.those who rely on others most for success
小题4:What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail"?
A.One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.
B.One's success in competition needs great efforts.
C.One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D.One's success is based on how hard he has tried.
小题5:Which point of view may the author agree to?
A.Every effort should be paid back.
B.Competition should be encouraged.
C.Winning should be a life-and-death matter.
D.Fear of failure should be removed in competition.

My wife, Eleanor and I took the train from Paris to Strasbourg, where we were met by our driver and guide, and the minibus which goes along with the boat. We stopped off in Barn for an hour on the way. Then we were taken to Nancy where the boat was kept.
After the other passengers arrived, we had our first dinner on the boat. After dinner we walked into downtown Nancy, a village with a large square and wooden houses.
Monday, October 6                           
Rained last night, cloudy in the morning, 69°F
We spent about two hours in Nancy, and then sailed on the Canal de la Marne au Rhine. Kind of a lazy day. Eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner, after dinner we watched a tape on Baccarat, where we will visit tomorrow. It was pleasant to sit out on deck (甲板)and watch the scenery go by at about 3 mph.
Tuesday, October 7                             
Light rain, 64°F
This mourning we drove over to Baccarat and toured its museum and the church, which has this unbelievable lamp that is going on a world tour the next day. We did lost of shopping, then walked across the bridge to see a very, very modern Catholic church with special Baccarat windows.
We drove to the top of the Voges Mountains and started down the eastern side. Later we drove to Sorrenbourg to see the 13th century church at the Cordeliers. It contains the largest window by Mar.

Nutrition influences not only students' grades at school but their growth and development. Improper nutrition is one of the causes of childhood obesity. What can you do to help your child avoid childhood obesity?
My first piece of advice is to look in your fridge. What are you buying at the grocery store? Think about it: if you don't buy junk food or snacks, your kids won't eat them at home. Now if you're like me — both of your kids are at school, you'll know you can't police them every second of the day. This is the time when you'll need to talk to your children about their food choices. If you don't know the right food choices, there are so many free resources on-line to guide you.
Try new things. I was very surprised to find out my 4-year-old daughter likes balsamic vinegar — she calls it the "black sauce". She likes to have it with tomatoes and cucumbers. You just never know what your kids might like.
Don't get stressed if you can't always prepare something healthy. You may sometimes leave the house and forget to take something out for dinner, or you are running late and there's no time to cook before you have to take one of the kids somewhere. However, you can still make healthy choices while dining out. Many of the fast food restaurants offer fruit and milk instead of soda. I like to buy organic frozen pizzas from the organic market — for a quick dinner solution(解决办法). All the ingredients are natural. What I do is to serve the pizza with something raw: lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, or fruit to try to give the kids something healthy with that meal.
In closing, take baby steps. Don't try to change your family's eating habits in one go, or you'll go nuts.

Dear Ana,
In your last letter, you told me that your boss Stephanie was probably looking for a new job and you didn’t know how to tell her that you wanted to take her position if she left. Well, I’d like to tell you that there is no polite way to talk about this situation with your boss. After all, you are not one-hundred-percent sure that she is actually job-hunting. Even if you know for sure that she is, you can’t, because it’s not your business. Still, there are a couple of things that you can do to put yourself in a good position in case your boss does ride out of Dodge in the near future.
First, you can have a general conversation with her about your career plans. Say something like, “You’ve always been supportive of me, Stephanie, and I’d love you to give me some advice on my professional development.” This will let your boss know that you’re ready for a new challenge. Ask her to give you feedback about how she thinks you can improve as a future leader.
Second, ask for your manager’s approval (同意) to talk with the training department about any program the company offers. There may or may not be any training, but making the request will still communicate your desire to get into a people-management role.
Third, you could say to your boss, “If there is anything you need my help with, I’d love it if you let me know. I am very interested in supporting you with anything you want to hand off.”
Taking those three steps will make it clear to Stephanie that you’re ready to be her No. 2.
Best regards,
Liz
小题1:The underlined part “ride out of Dodge” in the first paragraph probably means “______”.
A.get fired by the boss B.go to take a vacation

小题2:We can infer that Ana’s purpose for writing to Liz was to              .
A.tell Liz that her boss is looking for a new job
B.ask Liz if she has the ability to take her boss’s position
C.ask Liz for advice on how to find a much better job
D.seek advice on how to make her boss know she wants her position
小题3:Which of the following didn’t Liz ask Ana to do?
A.To let her manager know her desire for training.
B.To ask her boss if she needs any help from her.
C.To ask her boss for advice on her career plans.
D.To find out who is also trying to get that position.
小题4:We can learn from Liz’s reply that          .
A.Ana has never talked about her career plans before
B.Ana is very sad to see her boss go as she has helped her a lot
C.Ana’s boss Stephanie may not be looking for a new job
D.there are some training courses in Ana’s company now
小题5:According to Liz, if your boss is leaving for another job, you can              .
A.ask your manager to give the position to you
B.write to let him know you want his position
C.let him know you want his position indirectly
D.write a letter to your best friend for advice
