【题目】Directions:Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Life is not easy when you are looking for something worthwhile and ready to learn from the best experiences. 1 Here are some life lessons which people will learn the hard way in majority of cases.

2However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. At this time, people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do. Look at any successful person and you’ll notice one thing common in all of them: they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else. There is no elevator to success and you have to take the stairs.

Be brave to take the road less traveled. In our whole life, we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests, do the same thing everyone does, take the same career path everyone takes, wear the same clothes everyone wears, and hang out with the same people we work with. Why? Because we are scared to fail. But when you get bored of life, you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different from anyone else’s out there in the world. 3

You don’t have to live your life in a way society wants you to.4Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don’t want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all, people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest, sooner or later you’ll realize that you should first do what you think is right.

A. It takes continuous time and effort to be successful in any area.

B. The general rule goes that the harder you try, the greater results you get.

C. Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.

D. It always takes tests and then fails us to learn anything worthwhile.

E. However, in most circumstances your effort and attempt go well alongside with your desired achievement.

F. But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own path.

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文,介绍了几个人生教训。

1空前说当你想追寻值得做的事情并准备学习最好的经验时,生活并不总是容易的,此处解释不容易的原因,故D项(它总是考验我们,让我们通过失败来学习有价值的东西)符合语境。故选D项。

2空后说然而,当人们花的时间比他们预想的长时,他们就会感到沮丧,此处讲的还是关于时间的话题,并与下文形成转折,故A项(在任何领域取得成功都需要持续的时间和努力)符合语境。故选A项。

3空前说但当你对生活感到厌倦时,你就会意识到你并不是要做每个人都做的事,你的命运和世界上其他人的命运是不同的,此处承接这一话题,F项中的your own path与前面的“your destiny is different from anyone else’s”相呼应,故F项(但我们为实现这一点所付出的代价是巨大的,因为走自己的路需要极大的勇气)符合语境。故选F项。

4空后说父母有时会强迫孩子选择自己不喜欢的专业就因为别的孩子选择了那个专业,这是对盲目跟风的举例说明,故C项(许多旧习最近又开始风行,人们盲目地跟风)符合语境。故选C项。

在六选四的解题过程中,空处上下文出现的hut, yet, however等表示转折关系的词语往往是重要线索,例如本篇第2空,根据空后的“However, people usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would. ”可知,然而,当人们花的时间比他们预想的长时,他们就会感到沮丧,此处讲的还是关于花费时间的话题,“However表明空处与下文是转折关系,故A项(在任何领域取得成功都需要持续的时间和努力)符合语境。

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

I worked from the time when I was four and raised seven children, all of them college graduates. It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life, but I had one regret. I was born in 1898, the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school, so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.

Everywhere I went, I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet. People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city, take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.

By 1928, I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love, married and moved to Dallas, where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children, first went to school, I took my wife aside. “Elzenia,” I said. “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”

In 1938, one day my boss called me in. “George,” he said. “No one knows those machines like you do. I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said, “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of his office. I did stay right where I was, until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years, I lived a happy life, but it still seemed to me like something was missing.

A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98. I thought of my friends and neighbours and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years, my secret would be out. But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action.

A newly discovered tea plant is caffeine-free

The world loves tea and some 3m tons of tea are consumed every year. Tea can be good for health, as it contains compounds that help to lower cholesterol(胆固醇)and reduce the risk of heart disease. But there is a downside. Tea contains caffeine which, 1 it improves mental alertness, can also cause anxiety, insomnia and other problems.

2 would be agreeable is that a tea plant that provides all the taste and goodness but with little or 3 of the caffeine has been found. Liang Chen and Ji-Qiang Jin of the Tea Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have discovered just such a plant 4(grow) wild in a remote area in Fujian province, southern China. 5 they report in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, not only is the tea plant naturally caffeine-free but it also contains a number of unique medicinal compounds that, the locals believe, offer considerable health benefits.

6(know) locally as Hongyacha, the newly discovered plant grows only between 700 and 1,000 metres 7 sea level around a handful of Chinese villages.

Now the researchers 8(explore) methods to protect Hongyacha in its natural habitat while further studies are carried out. It can take time – and sometimes it does not work – for new plant varieties 9(breed) for commercial use. A pair of naturally caffeine-free coffee plants were discovered in 2003, but little progress 10(report) Tea enthusiasts will be watching Hongyacha with interest. And others will wonder what else is out there.
