本文讲述作者自己曾经是个经常说“不”的人,总是在拒绝别人。但随着作者的长大,他学会了说“是”,他发现说“是”给他的生活带来了更多的快乐。从而建议大家放下负面情绪,笑对人生。
【1】句意:我妈妈曾经告诉我,我学会说“妈妈”和“爸爸”之后,我的第三个单词是“不”。
A. three三,B. first第一,C. third第三,D. two 二。根据文中“My mom once told me that after I learned to say 'Mama' and ' Dada' ”可知,作者学会的前两个词是“妈妈”和“爸爸”,所以“no”就是第三个词。故选C。
【2】句意:我不想按时上床睡觉。
A. in在……里,B. on在……上面,C. during在……期间,D. for为了。in time“及时”,on time“按时”,结合句意,我不想按时上床睡觉。故选B。
【3】句意:换句话说,我是个顽童。
A. letters信,B. messages信息,C. shapes形状,D. words单词。in other words“换句话说”,故选D。
【4】句意:作为三个儿子中最小的一个,我说的“不”可能比我应该说的多得多。
A. small小的,B. youngest最年轻的,C. younger更年轻的,D. smallest最小的。of three sons “三个儿子当中的..... ”,用最高级。表示年纪的大小,通常用old和young,所以youngest符合题意。故选B。
【5】句意:当我长大的时候,我说“是”更多了。
A. As当……时候,B. Until 直到,C. If如果,D. So所以。此处引导时间状语从句,表示我长大的时候,用when引导时间状语从句,故选A。
【6】句意:我记住了铺床和扫地
A. clean打扫,是动词原形;B. to clean打扫,是动词不定式;C. cleaning打扫,是动名词或现在分词;D. cleaned打扫,是过去分词。remember doing sth“记得做过某事” remember to do sth“记得去做某事”,and前后并列关系,and前是动名词短语making the bed,因此and后用动名词短语。故选C。
【7】句意:我很高兴能帮助我的父母,我还记得我在学校为了取得好成绩努力学习,当我进入大学时成为父母眼中的骄傲。
A. talent才干,B. grades分数,C. gifts礼物,D. chances机会。根据“studying hard”可知,“我努力学习是为了取得好成绩”,good grades“好成绩”。故选B。
【8】句意:说“是”要比说“不”带给我生活的乐趣更多。
A. do做,是一般现在时非第三人称单数形式;B. does做,是第三人称单数形式;C. did做,是一般过去时;D. to do做,是动词不定式。在比较级的句子中,than后的句子的谓语为避免重复,可用助动词代替,这里的could是can的一般过去时,所以than后的谓语动词用did代替。故选C。
【9】句意:我给你的唯一的建议就是:不要像我一样等那么长。
A. news新闻,消息;B. information信息;C. reason原因;D. advice建议。根据后文的“.I can remember learning that saying "yes" could bring more fun into my life than saying "no"ever____8____”可知,说“是”要比说“不”带给我生活的乐趣更多。因此建议早一点说“是”,故选D。
【10】句意:“是”只是一个词,但它却能改变你的人生。
A. almost 几乎,B. hardly几乎不,C. finally最后,D. only仅仅。根据but前后表示转折关系,but后表示它能改变你的生活,but前强调它很渺小,因此表示只是一个单词。故选D。
这篇短文讲述了作者从经常说“不”到经常说“是”的过程,从中他明白了说“是”带给他更多的乐趣,鼓励大家乐观积极的面对生活。文章主题明确,结构清晰,内容贴近学生们的日常生活,比较容易理解。题型是完形填空,考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力,综合性较强。做题时,应先通读短文,了解文意;然后根据上下文语境做题,注意空前后的搭配,并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法;最后将答案代入原文,再读一遍,检查答案是否正确。例如第3小题,考查了in other words“换句话说”,故选D。再如第7小题,考查名词辨析及语境。talent才干,grades分数,gifts礼物,chances机会。根据前后文的语境可知,在学校努力学习,想要成为父母眼中的骄傲,这是想要取得好成绩,good grades“好成绩”。故选B。
【题目】 IQ scores have been measured(测量)since 1916, when Alfred Binet developed his intelligence list as follows:
IQ scores | Description |

120 | Excellent |

99 | Ordinary |
80 | Below ordinary |
