题目内容

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to  36 others how their positions, statements and points of view are   37  and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow   38  it, or at least learn something. Wrong！
Think about it. Have you ever been   39  by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever   40  you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   43  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest   44  of the human heart. And those who learn to   45  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46  of correcting others are often hated and   47 .
A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice  48    others the joy of being right--- give them the glory.   49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than   50  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to   51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   53  possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s  54  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos（自我意识）. Starting today, and let others be “  55  ” most of the time.

试题分析：本文讲述了在我们的人生中，我们要学会宽容别人，学会谅解别人不要总是纠正，学会倾听，才能得到别人的爱戴。
小题1: B  showsb．sth．“给某人展示……”。此处指有些人总是指出别人的立场、观点等是错误的。show后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。干扰性比较大的是teach，teach。b．ste教(会)某人什么，但后面一般不跟从句。
小题2:C 由下文“纠iE"别人可知。文章的第一段用以提出问题，有些人老是指出别人的观点、立场等“不对”，因此选incorrect，相当于wrong。其他选项“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都与前后文出现的“纠正"别人在表达的逻辑上不一致。
小题3:B  appreciate此处意为“感激”。有些人在指出别人 错误的同时，期望别人会“感激”他们。首先refuses!拒绝”在此与作者所表达的意义相反，consider“考虑”，understand“理解”都没有把握好上下文的联系和提示。上文已经提到thank一词。
小题4:A 此处作者以反问的形式指出：你在“纠正’’别人的时候，别人感激过你吗?correct此处用作动词，意为“纠正”。fooled"欺骗”，helped"帮助”，与“感激’’在逻辑上矛盾；taught"教学”，意义不通。
小题5:D 此处整句都是作者的反问，言外之义：你在纠正别人的时候，别人并没有“感激”你，而是怨恨你、对你敬而远之。rewarded"报答”，cared"在乎”，accepted"接受”，意义上似乎都沾点边，但都脱离了上下文的逻辑和提示。
小题6: C  atone'sexpense意为“以牺牲……为代价”。此处有踩着别人的肩膀往上爬之意。英语中。none's side是“站在某人一边”；prtce指的是“价格”；cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”。
小题7:B 此处作者指出实际的情况：我们都“不喜欢、痛恨”被别人“纠正”，hate to be done"痛恨、不喜欢被……”。like“喜欢”，prefer"更喜欢”偏离了此处的意义；afford to do意为“有钱干……”。
小题8:A 由后面的understood可知，我们都希望自己的立场得到别人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在语意上意味太强；receive"收到(具体的东西)”，realized"实现”不符合表达的需要。
小题9: D 指我们内心的“欲望”。shortcomings"缺点”，advantages"优点”，从意思上很容易排除；wishes干扰性较大，意思是“理想”，语意太强，而且与后面的 of the human heart不搭配。
小题10:C 学会“倾听”别人的观点，才能得到别人的爱戴和尊敬。从不要老去纠正别人，而应该学会“倾听”这一角度，就能排除其他三个选项。
小题11:B  beinthehabit of相当于have the habit of
小题12: A 由前面的“怨恨”可知，老是纠正别人会引起别人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”，不符合此处表达的意义；punished"惩罚”和scolded"批评”表达上太绝对。
小题13: D  allowsb．sth．“允许某人拥有……”。1et没有此搭配；lendsb．sth．意为“借给某人某物”；owesb．sth．意为“欠某人什么”。
小题14:C 作者建议：“别再老是‘纠正’别人”，故用stopdoine"停止干……”。其他三个选项在搭配上都成立，但把握住作者的建议便可排除它们。
小题15:B  jumpin相当于breakin"插话、打断别人”。理解了此处的意思，便可排除其他选项，break out当战争、火灾、争吵等“爆发”讲；break up当物体或关系“破裂”讲；breakoff当“挣脱”或“打断(锁链等)”讲。
小题16: A  stand意为“站得住脚、能成立”讲。last"持续”，work用作不及物动词，意为“起作用”，都脱离了作者表达的意图。
小题17:D loving“友爱的”。helpful"有帮助的”，careful“细心的”，popular"流行的、受欢迎的”，此处应考虑与前面less defensive"减少敌意”在表达的逻辑上要一致。
小题18: C  dream"梦想”。此处作者表达的意思是：一旦你停止纠正别人，别人就会对你非常感激，超出你的期望。 此处应从“超出期望”这一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”，wanted“想”语意太弱。
小题19: B 目睹别人因为正确而获得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨难”，worries"担心的事”，success"成功”，都偏离了文章的意义。
小题20: A 由全文可知，这是作者议论的中心：让别人“对”吧。
点评：本文讲述了在我们的人生中，我们要学会宽容别人，学会谅解别人不要总是纠正，学会倾听，才能得到别人的爱戴。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在做题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。

Once upon a time there were two brothers who lived near each other. One day, they had a ___36___ because of some small things. And neither was willing to ___37___ each other.
One morning, there was a knock at door of the elder brother. He  38 _ it and found a man standing beside the door. “I’m a carpenter(木匠). I’m  39__ a few days’ work. Perhaps you would have a few small jobs I could help with.”  
“Yes,” said the elder brother. “I do have a job for you. ___40___ at that farm across the small river. It is my younger brother’s. We had a quarrel, so I won’t like to see his place or his __41___ any more. I want you to build me a 8-foot ___42___.” 
The man said, “I think I understand the situation. Don’t worry. I’ll be able to do a job that makes you __43__.” So the elder brother was very glad and left for the town nearby.
In the evening, the carpenter had just ___44___ his job when the elder brother returned. But he was __45___ to find, instead of a fence, before him, stood a __46____, which went from one side of the river ___47__ the other! On the other __48____ of bridge, was his younger brother.
“Do you know the name of the bridge?” The carpenter asked.
“No,” the elder brother was __49___. 
“OK, I can tell you. Its name is understanding and __50___,” the carpenter smiled.
Suddenly they began to understand ___51___. Surely, between two brothers there should be a bridge rather than a _52____. Standing on the bridge, they _53___ each other’s hands with ____54__ in their eyes. 
“Could you stay another few days? I’ve a lot of other work for you,” said the elder brother. “I’d love to ___55___ on,” the carpenter said. “But I have many more bridges to build.”

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase（短语） that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice?  The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
小题1:When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he          .
A．feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
B．feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
C．thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D．is sorry that his friends let him down
小题2:When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that          .
A．the speaker is just friendly
B．this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
C．the word “dog” should not be used to apply to（运用到） people.
D．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious.
小题3:This passage tries to tell you how to          .
A．avoid mistakes about money and friends
B．get an idea of friendly people
C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D．keep people friendly without trusting them
小题4:The writer suggests that           should be trusted.

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old!
There is no better help to diligence (勤奋) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying, “Lost time never returns”. This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Those who are diligent will never become beggars. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
小题1:From the passage, we know that those who are too lazy to work will_________.
A．waste their time
B．help others
C．become beggars or thieves
D．make progress some day
小题2:In order to learn to be diligent, it’s important for young people to _________.
A．form the good habit of getting up early in youth
B．learn about some good habits
C．work while they work and play while they play
D．work all the time without playing
小题3:One can’t be successful in life unless he _________when he is young.
A．is diligent in his study
B．loves life
C．spends some time learning something
D．makes up for his lost time
Kilimanjaro Climb : a Rite of Passage for Father and Son
Climbing Kilimanjaro is a transformational experience for many people. The things that make the mountain hard are the very things that make it so powerful. In the case of my son Josh and I，the walk up Kilimanjaro proved a powerful symbol ofhis transition into manhood, and a great change in our relationship.
Day three on the mountain, Josh was hit with massive headaches. He told me every step felt like a nail driving into his head. And then, on the night we climbed the crater rim, less than 40 minutes from the summit, Josh fell. I was walking ahead, and did not even see it. He was so exhausted that he could not get up. He recalled our guides, debating whether or not they should take him straight down. Josh snapped out of it. He forced himself to his feet, shook the guides off. He set his face towards the peak and just kept marching. Near the summit he caught up with me and we reached the peak together.
“ I’ve never been in so much pain and so happy at the same time，，，he said, as we sat side by side on the frozen rock and looked down over Africa. “You know, in the past when we’d go on camping and rafting trips, you guided and took care of me through it all. But on Kilimanjaro it was different. From the bottom up, I climbed it. I never feltlike a kid, even when 1 was in pain. You never acted like a parent.”
“That’s not quite true，”I replied. “When you told me that on the summit you fell-and I did not even notice, my first thought was, ‘Oh my God! I’m such an awful parent!’ But then it hit me, ‘He got himself up. He walked to the peak on his own. He didn't need me to help.，”
I realized as I spoke that two people had died that night on Kilimanjaro. A child and a parent. It wasjust two friends who walked down the mountain together.
小题1:What is NOT mentioned in the first paragraph?
A． Kilimanjaro is powerful.
B． Kilimanjaro is hard to climb.
C． Many people, including Josh, have changed after climbing Kilimanjaro.
D． The writer has a distant relationship with his son after climbing Kilimanjaro.
小题2:From the second paragraph we know that_____
A． Josh had a slight headache.
B． Josh reached the top of the mountain with the help of the guides.
C． Josh overcame various difficulties on his way to the summit.
D． Climbing Kilimanjaro was too hard for such a child as Josh.
小题3:What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?
A． cheered upB．gave upC．burst outD．ran out
小题4:What can be inferred from the talk between the father and the son?
A． Josh felt quite good about his independence.
B． Josh appreciated his parents ，company and care.
C． The father felt guilty all the time.
D． The father should have taken good care of Josh as usual.
小题5:Why did the father feel that two people had died?
A． Because two people had lost their lives while climbing Kilimanjaro.
B． Because the father and son had become friends.
C． Because they had witnessed an accidence of a father and son.
D． Because two friends had misled him.
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say. “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” Or “I know I am late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming（责备） somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a lose. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined regularly .Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about---creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens Winners don’t have few problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “Whose fault it is”. Once you are confident about power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.

Our confidence __27__ what we think of ourselves and whether we believe in ourselves.

Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in his life, he might go home and write in his diary; now, a teenager with the    36   problems might go onto the Internet and write about them in a blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are very   37  , but what makes blogging different from writing in a(n)  38  diary?
The biggest difference is that a blog is much more   39  than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of   40  that he does not want to   41  with others.
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog   42 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her  43 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test.
  44 I was her age, I wrote about the same thing, but   45  in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was   46 that my sister might read it.
The biggest   47  with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something  48  about him in my diary, he would never know.   49 , if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend might
  50  her blog and get angry.
There are also   51  to blogging, of course. If I was feeling sad one day and wrote in my diary “ Nobody cares about me …”, no one would   52  about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friend would quickly   53  and tell her how much they   54  her. Blog helps people   55  in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
