【题目】Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
On very rare occasion can you manage to do something perfectly the first time you do it. So when you do something for the first time, it is time to give 【1】the idea of perfection.
I remember the first time I drove a car after getting 【2】 driver’s license, I drove very slowly. I was so nervous 【3】big drops of sweats rolled down my check. My driving style showed that I wasn’t【4】very confident driver. Now I’m much more experienced as a driver. 【5】I still don’t consider myself a perfect one, I’m much more confident behind the wheel 【6】what I was when I started.
Perfection is a long process, so trying to be perfect is just a waste of time. If you set your goal【7】high, you will feel discouraged when you fail to meet the goal you have set. So set an achievable goal when you do something for the first time. 【8】 example, if you run in your first marathon, your goal is just to pass the finishing line, rather than break a new world record.
【答案】
【1】up
【2】my
【3】that
【4】a
【5】Although/Though/While
【6】than
【7】too
【8】For
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者通过自己的第一次开车的经历,告诉读者在第一次做某件事时,不是力求完美,而是应该设定适当的目标。
【1】
考查动词短语。句意:所以当你第一次做某件事的时候,是时候放弃完美的想法了。承接上文,你很少能在第一次做的时候就把事情做得完美。give up 意为“放弃”,符合语境。故填up。
【2】
考查物主代词。句意:我记得我拿到驾照后第一次开车,我开得很慢。根据上下文可知,这里是指“我的”驾照,故填my。
【3】
考查固定短语和状语从句。句意:我如此紧张,以致于大滴大滴的汗珠从脸颊上滚落下来。这里考查的是“so….that….”这个固定短语后接的结果状语从句。故填that。
【4】
考查不定冠词。句意:我的驾驶风格表明我不是一个非常自信的司机。根据上下文,这是指我不是“一个”自信的司机,用不定冠词表示泛指,very是以辅音音素开头的。故填a。
【5】
考查状语从句。句意:虽然我仍然不认为自己是一个完美的人,但我在驾驶方面比刚开始时自信多了。结合上下文,这里前后是转折关系。故填Though/Although/While。
【6】
考查比较级。句意:虽然我仍然不认为自己是一个完美的人,但我在驾驶方面比刚开始时自信多了。这里表示跟刚开始开车时作比较,故填than。
【7】
考查副词。句意:如果你把你的目标定得太高,当你没有达到你设定的目标时,你会感到气馁。结合上下文,目标定得太高,会感到气馁。high是形容词,要用副词修饰。故填too。
【8】
考查固定短语。句意:例如,如果你第一次跑马拉松,你的目标只是通过终点线,而不是打破新的世界纪录。这里是固定短语“例如”故填for。
【题目】Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
Working women with young children often face a dilemma(进退两难的困境) of whether to keep working or to quit to take care of their children. Though the fact that married women work outside the homes has become a social trend, many people still expect mothers to stay home until their children are two or three years old. In my opinion,it’s unfair to deprive(剥夺) mothers of their right to keep working only for the reason of childcare.
Women also need a sense of achievement just like men. Working women often find it difficult to give up the chance of self-fulfillment(自我实现) and go back home to play the traditional role. The times that women should stay at home passed and we should not neglect(忽视) mothers’ desire to seek further goals outside the home.
Besides, taking care of children is both parents’ responsibility(责任) rather than only mothers’. Children belong to the father and the mother. So it is unreasonable to ask mothers to give up their jobs for childcare because it is also fathers’ duty.
Practically speaking, working mothers can help improve family finances. Though there’ll be extra expense for childcare service, working mothers have a steady income to help the family. Therefore, mothers’ working outside is good for the family, especially to those low-income ones.
In a word, to expect mothers to put childcare before everything is not practical in today’s society. Only if fathers and mothers cooperate can the problem be solved.
Title: 【1】mothers
【2】 | Whether working women should keep working or 【3】the jobs to look after children. |

The author’s 【5】 | A mother has right to 【6】. Women need a sense of achievement just like men. Taking care of children is 【7】. Mothers can help 【8】the family |
