20.Forgiveness (宽恕)
To forgive is a virtue(美德),but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you,it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However,forgiveness is possible,and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness,anger and stress and more hopefulness,according to a recent research.
(36)B Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. (37)F You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure:a beautiful scene in nature,or someone you love.
Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. (38)G Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者).Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain.Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings,learn to look for the love,beauty and kindness around you.
(39)D If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view.
Don't forget to forgive yourself.(40)E But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it.

A.Why should you forgive?
B.How should you start to forgive?
C.Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D.Try to see things from your offender's angle(角度).
E.For some people,forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F.To make your anger die away,try a simple stress-management technique.
G.If you wait for people to apologize,you could be waiting an awfully long time.

分析 本文是一说明文,主要介绍人们宽恕别人的方法和途径.

解答 36.B.理解判断题.上文介绍了原谅他人的好处,下文Try the following steps,介绍了原谅他人的措施,B选项承上启下:你应该如何开始原谅他人呢?故选B.
37.F.理解判断题.由句首Calm yourself可知该段建议我们要冷静.下面介绍了一些让自己冷静下来的方法.故F选项承上启下:为了使你的愤怒消失,尝试一种简单的控制压力的技巧.故选F.
38.G.理解判断题.由句首Don't wait for an apology可知该段建议我们不要等着别人来道歉.该空前面提到Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.有很多伤害我们的人根本就没有道歉的打算.故G选项切题,承接上文:如果你等待别人来给你道歉,你可能要等很长的时间.故选G.
39.D.理解判断题.由后面If you understand your offender,you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness,fear,and even love,我们从冒犯我们的人的角度去理解他们,去理解他们冒犯我们的原因.可知D选项切题:努力从冒犯者的角度来看问题.故选D.
40.E.理解判断题.由前面Don't forget to forgive yourself,我们要原谅自己.可知E选项与之相关:对一些人来说,原谅自己是一个很大的挑战.但是,如果你不原谅自己,你可能会失去自信.故选E.

点评 由于选句填空选出的是整个句子,而这些句子与句子之间,必然有一种联系,因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性,从而选择正确的答案.

10.The Great Fire of London started in the very early hours of 2September 1666.In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city,where most of the houses were wooden and close together.Over one hundred people became homeless,but only a few lost their lives.
The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker in Pudding Lane.The baker,with his wife and family,was able to get out through a window in the roof.A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door.Then it spread quickly into Thames Street.That was the beginning.
By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire.On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames.Tuesday was the worst day.The fire destroyed many well-known buildings,old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.
Samuel Pepys,the famous writer,wrote about the fire,"People threw their things into the river.Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment.Birds fell out of the air because of the heat."
The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire.With nothing left to burn,the fire became weak and finally died out.
After the fire,Christopher Wren,the architect(建筑师),wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.In fact,the streets are still narrow,but he did build more than fifty churches,among which were St Paul's
The fire caused great pain and loss,but after it London was a better place:a city for the future and not just of the past.

28.How was the fire put out according to the text?D
A.The King and his soldiers came to help.
B.All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.
C.People managed to get enough water from the river.
D.Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down
29.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact thatC.
A.some people lost their lives   
B.the birds in the sky were killed by the fire
C.many famous buildings were destroyed   
D.the King's bakery was burned down
30.Why did the writer cite(引用)Samuel Pepys?C
A.Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.
B.Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.
C.To give readers a clearer picture of the fire.
D.To show that poor people suffered most.
31.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?A
(a) There was a strong wind.
(b) The streets were very narrow.
(c) Many houses were made of wood.
(d) There was not enough water in the city.
(e) People did not discover the fire earlier.
A.(a),(b) and (c)

15.The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou,the capital of Henan Province.However,thanks to a terrible trick played by nature,what the officials have ended up with,is a natural sandy mess!
The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax.But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand,the underground water dried up.As a result,the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert.While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10meters high,some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.
If that is not bad enough,the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields,have influenced the environment.What's worse is that on windy days,the dry sand moves into the city center,making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes,nose,and mouth.
In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields,the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting.However,that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!
As you can imagine,many of Zhengzhou's residents are upset by the disaster.They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised,has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment.Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.

21.The author may agree that it isB    to build a large man-made lake.
A.possible

C.great

22.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because.D
A.the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry
B.there are enough trees in Zhengzhou
C.they haven't finished digging the lake
D.there is no underground water
23.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?C
A.Light pollution.
B.Water pollution.
C.Air pollution.
D.Sound pollution.
24.What do Zhengzhou's residents think of the man-made lake?A

B.Small.
C.Helpful.

6.When I was six,Dad brought home a dog one day,who was called"Brownie",My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her.One of us would walk her,another would feed her,then there were baths,playing catch and many other games.Brownie,in return,loved each and every one of us.One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them.We always felt better when she was around.
