题目内容

20．-Have you heard that earthquake struck Japan on March 11，2011？
-Yes．It came as shock to us．（　　）

A．

the；the

B．

the；a

C．

an；a

D．

an；the

分析 -你听说过在2011年3月11日有一场地震袭击了日本吗？
-是的，这是一件令我们很震惊的事情．

解答答案：C
第一个空表示泛指"一场地震"，由于earthquake首字母的发音为元音/?：/，所以这里应填不定冠词an；由于答语中的shock在句中作介词as的宾语，指的是一件令人感到很震惊的事；所以shock是可数名词，此处应填a；故选C

点评本题考查了不定冠词的用法；首先应了解不定冠词a/an通常用于单数可数名词前，表示泛指；其次应掌握有些抽象名词像shock，success，beauty等表示具体化的意义指某一具体的人或事物时，它们是可数名词，需要在它们的前面加不定冠词a/an．

"I am a historian，"she said．I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past，and about how it shapes the future．No university in thecountry，perhaps the world，had as remarkable a past as Harvard's．"
"And ourcommon enterprise is to make Harvard's future even more remarkable than its past．That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well．It will also mean recognizing what we don't do as well as we should，and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better．"
It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men．"This is a man's world，my girl，and the sooner you learn that，the better off you'11be．"Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young，but she didn't accept it．
Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s．Even then She was a trailblazer（先驱）．A conversation with her family's black handyman and driver inspired Her to write a letter，on school notebook paper，to President Dwight Eisenhower．
She asked whether he could help bring US citizens together in the south，a much divided
part of the country at the time．

Your answer to the above question shows your EQ，your emotional intelligence．What exactly is EQ？Psychologists Peter Salovey and John Mayer define it as the ability to understand your own feelings and emotions and （28）those of others．
Research supports the significance of EQ．A 40-year study of 450boys found that IQ wasn't the only thing that affected life success．The qualities that did were the ability （29）to handle（handle） frustration，control emotions and get along with other people．

2．For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special about it．Now we know that getting along with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better．One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything from our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad ones in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．
You don't have to be spineless（没有骨气的） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your group，to other people and to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．
You can not expect to be perfect，and you must learn not to be unhappy when you make mistakes．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged when they know in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness，and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them．
At the same time，it is important to remember that，while you are probably no worse than others，the best way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why and look at yourself，too，to be sure that you are not doing anything to make that person dislike you．Some day，things may turn out all right and then you will have to learn to get along the best with situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change．
