9.My name is Billy Smith.I'm 50years old this year.I was about 440pounds two years ago.(41)Fortunately(fortunate),I managed to lose weight.
I began to gain weight when my mom developed Parkinson's disease in 1994.I soon became her caregiver,and continued to provide her (42)with care for over 10years.But when the pressure of taking care of my mother and (43)keeping(keep) my job got too much for me,I began to skip meals and feed on fast food.I gained weight quickly.
My huge weight gain caused me to develop high blood pressure.I also had (44)difficulty(difficult) in breathing at times.In 2014I went to see my doctor,(45)whotold me that I would die within two years if I didn't lose weight.This wasn't what I expected.I wanted to see my young son grow up,and I knew it was time to make a change.
I started to eat healthy food and work out in the gym.Finally,I (46)succeeded_(succeed) in losing weight.Now I weigh just 260pounds.I had never been to my son's Parents'Meeting (47)because I was so ashamed and(48)scared(scare) that my weight would lead to him being laughed at.Now,(49)looking(look) normal,I can do the things I have never been able to do,(50)butshould have done as his father.

分析 本文主要讲述作者过胖的体重给他的生活带来的影响.

解答 41.Fortunately 考查副词.修饰句子要用副词,形容词fortunate的副词是fortunately.
42.with 考查介词.provide sb.with sth.意为"提花某人某物",是固定搭配.   
43.keeping 考查动名词.and是并列连词,它前后连接两个相同的语法成分,taking和keeping由and连接作介词of的宾语.
44.difficulty 考查名词.have difficulty in doing sth.意为"做某事在困难",是固定搭配. 
45.who 考查定语从句.分析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词doctor指人,在从句中作主语,用关系代词who.
46.succeeded 考查动词时态.全文讲述的是已发生的事情,用一般过去时态.  
47.because 考查连词.前后两个单句表示因果关系,用连词because. 
48.scared 考查过去分词.and是并列连词,它前后连接两个相同的语法成分,ashamed和scared都是过去分词作表语,过去分词作表语,多半用来表示人物所处的心理状态或情感变化,其主语多半是人.
49.looking 考查现在分词.I与look之间是主谓关系,用现在分词作状语.
50.but 考查连词.前后两个句子表示转折关系,用连词but.

13.If you have ever had a cat,or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online,you'll know that cats have a mind of their own.A lot of the things they do are hard to understand---they like to climb up tall furniture,fit themselves in small spaces and attack small objects for no reason at all.
Now scientists have managed to figure out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends.According to Tony Buffington,a professor at Ohio State University in the US,cats'strange behavior largely comes from their way of life back in the wild."Cats today still have many of the same instincts(本能)that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years."he said in a TED Talk."To them,our homes are their jungles."
In the wild,cats are hunters.Their bodies and great balancing abilities allow them to climb to high spots to better look at the environment.Even though they don't have to hunt anymore in human houses,they still keep the old habit of viewing the living room from,for example,the top of the refrigerator.
Cats'hunting instinct is also what makes them attack small things like keys and USB drives.In the wild,they hunt whatever they can get,and most of the animals they kill are small.
However,cats can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines---they are hiding,or they think they are hiding,from more dangerous animals.This is also why cats prefer a clean box:a smelly one could easily show enemies where they are.
Knowing how cats'minds work is not only useful for better understanding them.It may also help cats'owners to better meet cats'needs.For example,owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around.They could also use"food puzzles"to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.

24.According to Tony Buffington,C.
A.cats'strange behavior is hard for people to understand
B.cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans'homes
C.cats behave strangely mainly because of some instincts in the wild
D.cats'instincts are as helpful to them today as they were millions of year ago
25.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?B
A.Cats like to climb up high because they want to hide from dangerous animals
B.Cats attack keys and USB drives because they have a habit of hunting small animals
C.Cats enjoy staying in small spaces because they usually live in small caves in the wild
D.Cats'preference for a clean box probably has something to do with their hunting instincts
26.The underlined word"prey"in Paragraph 5probably meansD.
A.an animal that is too lazy
B.an animal that likes hiding games
C.an animal that keeps itself clean
D.an animal that is hunted
27.This article is mainly written toA.
A.explore the reasons behind cats'strange behavior
B.describe cats'past wild experience to readers
C.tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats

1.How words came into being is unknown.All we assume(推测)is that some early men invented certain sounds,in one way or another,to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could talk with each other.Later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be put together to show those sounds,and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken or written in letters,are called words.
The power of words,then,lies in their associations-the things they bring up to our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live,the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings.This clever use of words is what  we call literary style(文体).Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can express his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly,or they will make our speech silly and common.
33.We learn from the text that language might have begun withD.
A.expressions         B.actions        C.signs           D.sounds
34.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?C
A.The learning of new words.
B.The importance of old words
C.The relation of human experience with words.

A.Use words skillfully.
B.Make musical speeches
C.Learn poems by heart.
D.Associate with listeners.
