分析 本文写了作者想通过捐献东西来教育孩子,但是孩子的行为却教育了我们,捐出我们不用的东西很容易,但是捐出我们热爱的东西很难.

解答 41.in  考查固定短语.be in trouble 是英语中的固定短语"在困境中",根据句意:那些在困境中的家庭,所以答案填in.
42.was reading  考查时态.根据句意:我正在读报纸的时候,所以用过去进行时,所以答案填was reading.
43.would be 考查时态.根据句意:我认为这将是一次很好的机会来教育孩子,因为整个故事都是过去时,所以用过去将来时would be.
44.less lucky  考查比较级.根据句子结构than的前边必须用比较级,根据句意:应该是那些运气不佳的人,所以答案填less luck"运气更差的".
45.what 考查名词性从句.分解句子可知we have with them这是一个宾语从句,宾语从句中have后边缺宾语,所以用what来引导,what在从句中做宾语.
46.to choose  考查固定短语.encourage sb to do sth是英语的固定短语"鼓励某人做某事",根据句意:鼓励孩子们选择他们的玩具捐出来,所以答案填to choose.
47.as 考查连词.当孩子们拿出他们旧的玩具的时候,Meghan静静地看着,as"当…的时候".
48.later 考查固定短语.  根据句意:几分钟之后的英文表达是:A few minutes later.
49.me  考查代词.根据句意:Lucy让我高兴.此处的代词"我"是make的宾语,所以用宾格代词me.
 50.to give 考查非谓语.本句中it是形式主语,真正的主语是动词不定式 to give something that we don't want any more.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析.要解决好语法填空,离不开坚实的语法知识,有了坚实的语法知识才能对语言进行正确的分析和判断,从而答对题目.

11.In agrarian(农业的),pre-industrial Europe,"you'd want to wake up early,start working with the sunrise,have a break to have the largest meal,and then you'd go back to work,"says Ken Albala,a professor of history at the University of the Pacific."Later,at 5or 6,you'd have a smaller supper."
This comfortable cycle,in which the rhythms of the day helped shape the rhythms of the meals,gave rise to the custom of the large midday meal,eaten with the extended family."Meals are the foundation of the family,"says Carole Couniban,a professor at Millersville University in Pennsylvania,"so there was a very important interconnection between eating together and strengthening family ties."
Since industrialization,maintaining such a slow cultural metabolism has been much harder,with the long midday meal shrinking to whatever could be stuffed into a lunch bucket or bought at a food stand.Certainly,there were benefits.Modern techniques for producing and shipping food led to greater variety and quantity,including a tremendous increase in the amount of animal protein and dairy products available,making us more energetic than our ancestors.
Yet plenty has been lost too,even in cultures that still live to eat.Take Italy.It's no secret that the Mediterranean diet is healthy,but it was also a joy to prepare and eat.Italians,says Counihan,traditionally began the day with a small meal.The big meal came at around 1p.m.In between the midday meal and a late,smaller dinner came a small snack.Today,when time zones have less and less meaning,there is little tolerance for offices'closing for lunch,and worsening traffic in cities means workers can't make it home and back fast enough anyway.So the formerly small supper after sundown becomes the big meal of the day,the only one at which the family has a chance to get together."The evening meal carries the full burden that used to be spread over two meals,"says Counihan.

24.What does Professor Carole Counihan say about pre-industrial European families eating meals together?B
A.It was helpful to maintaining a nation's tradition.
B.It brought family members closer to each other.
C.It was characteristic of the agrarian culture.
D.It enabled families to save a lot of money.
25.What does"cultural metabolism"(Line 1,Para.3)refer to?D
A.Evolutionary adaptation.
B.Changes in lifestyle.
C.Social progress.
D.Pace of life.
26.What does the author think of the food people eat today?B
A.Its quality is usually guaranteed.
B.It is varied,abundant and nutritious.
C.It is more costly than what our ancestors ate.
D.Its production depends too much on technology.
27.What does the author say about Italians of the old days?A
A.They enjoyed cooking as well as eating.
B.They ate a big dinner late in the evening.
C.They ate three meals regularly every day.
D.They were expert at cooking meals.
12.The Link between Fitness and Career Success
It's no mystery to successful people that there is direct link between sound health & fitness and success in their career and personal lives.Successful persons likely show up at the health club consistently,work with a personal trainer,or get up a few minutes early for a heart elevating(增进的) jog.Successful people like to jump start their day with plenty of energy and the feel-good endorphins(内啡肽) that exercise offers.Recent studies prove the direct link between fitness and success.
Better ability to focus,improved confidence and enhanced(增强的) ability to follow through were directly attributed(归属于) to improved fitness levels according to a 2007University of Georgia study.Further,a leading manager search company surveyed more than 1,300managers.When asked to describe their viewpoints of weight and work,75% said good physical fitness is"important for career success at the manager level."17%,by contrast,said staying in shape is"a nice goal,but secondary(次要的) to good fitness."
The CEO of that manager search firm said,"Good physical fitness is important to success as a manager in today's work world.''When asked about obesity(肥胖),75% of managers said that being overweight is a"serious career impediment(妨碍)".Do these responses reflect our obsession with weight loss and mirror the constant reports of skinny(极瘦的) images in popular culture?Probably not.Rather,there is a very strong link between improved fitness and increased productivity,enhanced ability to solve problems,superior energy,not to mention reduced stress and tiredness,all leading to better job performance.It goes well beyond looking good.Fit people tend to have better eating habits and miss fewer days at work due to a higher resistance(抵抗) to illness.And with competition continually increasing in every industry,companies are now rewarding employees and managers who miss less work and produce more.
A study by Jim McKenna,a British researcher,showed that after exercising participants returned to work more tolerant of themselves and more forgiving of their colleagues.The study concluded that"work performance was consistently higher,time management skills improved,as did mental sharpness".
All it takes is investing 3-4sessions a week,30-45minutes each,to experience these benefits.Combine strength training and cardiovascular(心血管的) exercise,along with sound nutrition to speed up your mental sharpness,enhance your productivity,improve your mood and better manage stress.As your fitness level increases,likely your position on the ladder of success will too!

64.Successful people are likely toD.
A.have higher resistance to illness        B.get more energy and endorphins
C.lose weight more easily               D.care more about their fitness
65.What does the underlined word"obsession"in Paragraph 4mean?A
A.craze(狂热).B.training.C.anger.D.imagination.
66.According to the study by the manager search company,C.
A.there is no link between fitness and success
B.good physical fitness is critical for career success
C.mental sharpness,productivity and mood can be improved
D.people tend to be more tolerant and forgiving after exercising.
