— ______ . Nobody is perfect.
A. Take your time B. You’re right
C. Whatever you say D. Take it easy
答案:D. Take it easy

本题考查日常用语。
Take your time. 别着急,慢慢来。
You’re right. 你说的对。
Whatever you say. 无论你说什么;你说了算;随便你。
Take it easy. 别紧张;别着急;不要放在心上。
译文:“对不起我错了。” “别太在意。人无完人。”
2. Would you like to _______ with us to the film tonight?
A. come along B. come off C. come across D. come through
答案:A. come along
解析:
本题考查动词短语。
come along 一起来;出现;进展;
come off 离开;实现;举行;
come across 走过来;出现于;偶然碰到;
come through 经历;传出;脱险;
译文:今晚你想要和我们一起去看电影吗?
3. I was glad to meet Jenny again, _______ I didn’t want to spend all day with her.
A. but B. and C. so D. or
答案:A. but
解析:
本题考查连词。
but conj. 但是,表示转折关系;
and conj. 并且,表示并列关系;
so conj. 所以,表示因果关系;
or conj. 或者,否则,表示选择关系;
译文:我很高兴再次见到Jenny,但是我不想整天都和她呆在一起。
4. When I arrived, Bryan took me to see the house _______I would be staying.
A. what B. when C. where D. which
答案:C. where
解析:
本题考察定语从句关系词。
本题的定语从句先行词the house表示地点,I would be staying后面需要加一个地点状语,应使用关系副词where引导,也可以用in which引导,这里where = in which。
译文:我抵达之后,Bryan带我看了我将暂住的房子。
5. I got to the office earlier that day, _______ the 7:30 train from Paddington.
A. caught B. to have caught C. to catch D. having caught
答案:D. having caught
解析:
本题考查非谓语动词。
通过句义可知,由于赶上了7:30来自Paddington的火车,那天我较早地到达了公司。所以,赶火车的动作发生在到达办公室这个动作之前,非谓语动词用分词的现在完成形式,表原因,所以本题选D。
译文:由于赶上了7:30来自Paddington的火车,那天我较早地到达了公司。
6. Since nobody gave him any help, he ______ have done the research on his own.
A. can B. must C. would D. need
答案:B. must
解析:
本题考查情态动词。
根据Since引导的从句“既然没人给过他任何帮助”可以肯定推断出他“一定是”自己独立完成研究的。本题考生很可能会选择选项C. would,但是仔细观察时态,用的是过去式,而主句用现在完成时,可知主句的动作已经完成,若使用would,would +动词的现在完成时表示虚拟语气“本应该……”,与题意不符。
译文:既然没人给过他任何帮助,他肯定是独自完成了这项研究。
7. We _______ very early so we packed the night before.
A. leave B. had left C. were leaving D. have left
答案:C. were leaving
解析:
本题考查动词时态。
根据句义,可知本题想表达的意思是“因为我们第二天要一早出发,所以我们前一晚就整理了行李。”题干后半句用的是过去式,所以选项A和D明显错误。选项B用的是过去完成时,表示已经出发了,与句义不符。所以选C,表示移动性质的动词可以用进行时态表示将来。
译文:因为我们第二天要一早出发,所以我们前一晚就整理了行李。
8. The watch was very good, and he _______ 20 percent down for it.
A. paid B. cost C. bought D. spent
答案:A. paid
解析:
本题考查词组固定搭配。
固定搭配pay… for sth.意思是“为…支付…钱”;一般是人做主语,
cost v. 花费;价值为,物作主语;
buy v. 买;采购;
spend v. 花费,人作主语,固定搭配:spend… on sth.;
译文:这块手表非常不错,并且他只支付了20%的定金。
9. It may not be a great suggestion. But before _______ is put forward, we’ll make do with it.
A. a good one B. a better one C. the best one D. a best one
答案:B. a better one
解析:
本题考查形容词比较级。
根据句义可知,现在已经有了一个建议,尽管不那么好,但是在未提出更好的建议之前,我们可以先勉强采纳现有的建议。短语make do with意为“勉强对付,凑合着用”。所以,本题将还未提出的建议与现有的建议进行对比,应该用形容词比较级a better one。
译文:这可能并不是一个好的建议。但是在提出更好的建议前,我们先勉强采纳它。
10. It was only after he had read the papers _______ Mr. Gross realized the task before him was extremely difficult to complete.
A. when B. that C. which D. what
答案:B. that
解析:
本题考查强调句型It is/was … that …。
这句话的正常语序为Mr. Gross realized … only after he had read the papers. 从句the task before him was extremely difficult to complete是动词realized的宾语。本题的题干是一个强调句,强调时间状语only after he had read the papers。所以答案为B. that。
译文:就当Gross先生完那些文件后,他才发现他面临的这个任务极难完成。
11. A serious study of physics is impossible _______ some knowledge of mathematics.
A. against B. before C. beyond D. without
答案:D. without
解析:
介词辨析题。
against prep. 反对,违反;
before prep. 在…之前,先于;
beyond prep. 超过;越过;
without prep. 没有;在……外面;
译文:不掌握一定的数学知识是没有办法对物理学进行系统地研究的。
12. Only by increasing the number of doctors by 50 percent _______ properly in this hospital.
A. can be the patients treated B. can the patients be treated
C. the patients can be treated D. treated can be the patients
答案:B. can the patients be treated
解析:
本题考查倒装句。
Only位于句首修饰状语需要部分倒装,即将助动词放于主语之前。
译文:只有将医生的数量提高50%,这个医院的病人才能被完全地治疗。
13. Four and _______ half hours of discussion took us up to midnight, and _______ break for cheese, chocolate and tea with sugar.
A. a;a B. the;the 不填;the D.a;不填
答案:A. a;a
解析:
本题考查冠词的用法。
前一空a表示一个,相当于one,并且four and a half hours四个半小时,固定搭配;后一空a表达一次。
译文:我们进行了长达四个半小时的讨论直到午夜。中间休息时吃了一些乳酪、巧克力,喝了加糖的茶水。
14. It's an either-or situation —we can buy a new car this year or we can go on holiday but we can't do _______.
A. others B. either C. another D. both
答案:D. both
解析:
本题考查不定代词。
others pron. 其他人或事;
either pron. (两者中)任一;
another pron. 再一个;另一个;
both pron. 双方都;两者都;
根据句义,前半句“It's an either-or situation”已经指出这是一个二选一的情况,即意味着后半句的选择中只能选一,而不能两项都选择。
译文:我们只能二选一——要么我们今年买一辆新车,要么我们去度假,但是我们不能两项都做。
15. — Are you sure you won’t come for a drink with us?
— _______, if you insist.
A. Not at all B. It depends C. All right then D. I don’t care
答案:C. All right then
解析:
本题考查日常用语。
Not at all. 一点也不;别客气。
It depends. 看情况而定。
All right then. 那么好吧。
I don’t care. 我不在乎。
译文:“你确定不和我们一起去喝一杯吗?” “那好吧,如果你坚持的话。”

总评:
这是一篇讲述人物事迹的记叙文,主要内容是介绍一位名叫Michael Greenberg的纽约人在冬天的时候会为穷人发手套,并因此为人熟知。文章整体难度不大。前两段引入人物的介绍,其次叙述了他具体是如何帮助穷人、为他们送手套的,最后交待了他这么做是因为受到家庭的影响,他相信帮助穷人自己也会感受到快乐。
16. 答案:A. know about
【解析】考查短语辨析。know about“知道,了解”;learn from“向……学习”;cheer for“为……欢呼”;look after“寻找”。根据上文可知Michael Greenberg是个很出名的纽约人,他不是体育或者艺术名人,但是街上的人都认识他。know about“知道,了解”符合文意,因此正确答案为B。
17. 答案:D. poor
【解析】考查上下文理解。根据文章下文的内容,Michael Greenberg一直是在帮助穷人,为他们送去手套,所以poor“穷困的”符合文意,因此正确答案为D。
18. 答案:B. name
【解析】考查上下文理解。前一句中“对那些人来说,他是‘手套’Greenberg”,所以这一句问的是他是怎么得到这个称号的,name“名称”符合文意。因此正确答案为B。
19. 答案:B. different
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文说“他看上去跟其他商人一样,穿西装拎公文包”,在but转折之后,后一句说“他的公文包里总有几双手套”,说明是跟其他人不一样,different“不同的”符合文意。因此正确答案为B。
20. 答案:A. act
【解析】考查上下文理解。act“表现,行动”;sound“听起来”;feel“感受”;dress“穿着”。下文中具体描绘了一些行为,所以act符合文意。因此正确答案为A。
21. 答案:C. hurry down
【解析】考查词组辨析。cross over“穿过”;drive along“沿着……行驶”;hurry down“沿着……匆忙走”;keep off“远离……”。根据上下文的描述,其他的纽约人都是看着人行道,行色匆匆地走,所以hurry down“沿着……匆忙走”符合文意。因此正确答案为C。
22. 答案:B. people
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文中说其他纽约人都是看着人行道,而Greenberg先生则不一样,下文又提到了他会给人手套,所以他看的应该是people“人”。因此正确答案为B。
23. 答案:D. sees
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文中说他看着四周的人,所以横线所在的句子应该是当他看到有人没有手套的时候就会停下来,横线处应该用see表示看见。因此正确答案为D。
24. 答案:C. moves on
【解析】考查词组辨析。hold up“举起,阻挡”;hang out“挂出,闲逛”;move on“继续前进”;turn around“转身”。根据上下文的意思,他在帮助了别人之后应该是继续前进,寻找更多没有手套的人。move on“继续前进”符合文意。因此正确答案为C。
25. 答案:A. hands
【解析】考查上下文理解。根据上下文,Greenberg是给没有手套的人送手套,所以说的是手冷,而不是其他部位。hands“手”符合文意。因此正确答案为A。
26. 答案:C. gives away
【解析】考查词组辨析。search for“搜寻”;store up“贮存”;give away“赠送,分发”;put on“穿上”。根据上下文,在冬天,Greenberg先生是赠送手套,give away符合文意。因此正确答案为C。
27. 答案:D. buys
【解析】考查上下文理解。上文说他在冬天送手套,所以在别的时候,他去买手套更加合理,因为要保证冬天有送出去的手套,他就需要拥有足够多的手套,所以排除sell“卖”和return“归还”,而因为手套是送出去的,不会收回来,所以也不可能是borrow“借”,buy“买”符合文意。因此正确答案为D。
28. 答案:B. send
【解析】考查上下文理解。后一句说他现在公寓里有很多手套,说明听说过他的人们是给他送手套,send“寄送”符合文意。因此正确答案为B。
29. 答案:C. began
【解析】考查上下文理解。句子是一般过去式,所以说明的是一个发生在过去的动作,根据文章意思,他是从21年前开始做这件事的,began“开始”符合文意。因此正确答案为C。
30. 答案:A. understand
【解析】考查上下文理解。根据上下文,横线句子的意思应该是许多纽约的穷人认识他,而且理解他的行为,understand符合文意,dislike“讨厌”,study“学习”,excuse“原谅”都不符合文意。因此正确答案为A。
31. 答案:D. surprised by
【解析】考查短语辨析。sorry for“为……感到抱歉”;satisfied with“对……感到满意”;proud of“为……感到骄傲”;surprised by“因为……而吃惊”。根据上下文,认识他的人理解他的行为,而不认识他的人有时候会很惊讶,所以surprised by符合文意。因此正确答案为D。
32. 答案:D. happy
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文中提到了帮助穷人会让每个人都更开心幸福,所以横线处的意思是说,他们(不认识他的人们)没有意识到,他只是想让他们开心。所以happy符合文意。因此正确答案为D。
33. 答案:B. family
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文中提到了他的父亲,所以可以判断横线处说的是家庭family,run in the family是习惯表达,意为“为一家人所共有,世代相传”。因此正确答案为B。
34. 答案:C. same
【解析】考查上下文理解。这句话说明了Michael Greenberg做好事的原因,根据上文中的It runs in the family.和他父亲相信帮助穷人能让每个人都更幸福,可以理解他也有同样的感受,same符合文意。因此正确答案为C。
35. 答案:A. small
【解析】考查上下文理解。下文用but表示转折,并且提到了make a big difference“有很大的影响”,说明横线处应该是与big形成对比的,small符合文意,表示一双手套虽小,但却能在冬天派上很大的用场。因此正确答案为A。
第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather, I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理),or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot, He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架)down, unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from "landing gear up".
36. What does the author say about doctors in general?
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
37. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when _______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
38. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means
A. following flying requirements
B. overreacting to different opinions
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
39. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor
36. 答案:B
【解析】信息推断题。题目问的是作者对普通医生(doctors in general)的看法。从文中第一段的第一、二句“Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all."可知,作者认为医生一般都不愿意听取意见,所以答案选B。
37. 答案:A
【解析】信息推断题。题目问的是作者在什么时候加深了对CRM的作用的认识。文中第二段句首提到“I first read about CRM in 1980.”这是作者首次接触CRM,此后不久,在一次飞行事故中,作者的老板在操作飞机降落时忘记把起落架放下来,这时作者向老板提出“我们现在需要把起落架放下来”,从而拯救了机组成员。这个事件让作者对CRM有了更深刻的认识,所以答案选A。B项错误,因为作者并不是这次飞行任务的负责人;C项“他的老板使飞机降落时已太迟了”;D项“他的老板在给一个病人做手术”,均不符合题意。
38. 答案:D
【解析】语义推断题。“landing gear”在文中给出了中文释义,意为“起落架”,“landing gear up”意为“把起落架收起来”,结合该词组在文中出现的语境,可以知道在飞机降落时把起落架收起来是有生命危险的,所以keep me from landing gear up即让我避免犯此类会带来生命危险的错误。
39. 答案:B
【解析】主旨大意题。文中第一段提到,“but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon”,在第二段中作者讲述了其在一起飞行事件中的经历和从中得到的教训:即不论职位高低,在必要的时候需要勇于发言,作者将这一经验应用到手术室中,在手术室中咨询他人的意见并鼓励他人发表意见,从而使他成为一个更好的医生,所以B项正确。本文的重点并不是在讨论使飞行变得安全的CRM,所以A项错误;也不是在讲“如何才能造就一个好的飞行员”,所以C项错误;D项意为“一个此前做过飞行员的医生”,本文的主旨并不是关于作者本人,而是在说医生要听取别人的意见,从而成为一个更好的医生。
B
In 1947 a group of famous people from the art world headed by an Austrian conductor decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to reunite Europe after the Second World War.
It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts 400,000 people yearly.
At the same time, the “Fringe” appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house disused for years.
Soon, groups of students firstly from Edinburgh University, and later from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform theatre by little-known writers of plays in small church halls to the people of Edinburgh.
Today the “Fringe”, once less recognized, has far outgrown the festival with around 1,500 performances of theatre, music and dance on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big.
A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004 there were 200 places housing 1,695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold.
40. What was the purpose of Edinburgh Festival at the beginning?
A. To bring Europe together again.
B. To honor heroes of World WarⅡ.
C. To introduce young theatre groups.
D. To attract great artists from Europe.
41. Why did some uninvited theatre groups come to Edinburgh in 1947?
A. They owned a public house there.
B. They came to take up a challenge.
C. They thought they were also famous.
D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
42. Who joined the "Fringe" after it appeared?
A. Popular writers
B. University students.
C. Artists from around the world.
D. Performers of music and dance.
43. We may learn from the text that Edinburgh Festival______.
A. has become a non-official event
B. has gone beyond an art festival
C. gives shows all year round
D. keeps growing rapidly
总评:这是一篇介绍爱丁堡音乐节形成和发展的说明文。文章按照时间顺序,从创设目的,参与群体,发展规模等方面进行了简要而准确的叙述,回顾了爱丁堡音乐节的发展历程。
细评:
40. 答案:A. To bring Europe together again.
【解析】细节题。本题考查爱丁堡音乐节的创设目的。文章第一段最后一句指出:“the idea was to reunite the Europe after the Second World War”,即:(人们创设爱丁堡音乐节的)想法是团结二战后的欧洲。选项A表达的与此意相同。bring together 把……团结起来。所以,答案为A。
41. 答案:D. They wanted to take part in the festival.
【解析】推断题。由第三段第二句,“Eight theatre groups turned up uninvited in 1947, in the belief that everyone should have the right to perform...”,可知八个乐队不请自来的原因是他们认为每个人都应有权利来音乐节上参加表演。选项D,他们想要参加表演,与文章表达的意思相符。所以,答案为D。
42. 答案:B. University students
【解析】细节题。由关键词Fringe定位到第三段,但是本段不能推断出答案,所以继续看第四段,第四段提到很多大学生参加了爱丁堡音乐节,所以答案为B。
43. 答案:D. keeps growing rapidly
【解析】细节题。选项A文中未提及。选项B也未提及。选项C,由倒数第二段第一句“...music and dance on very one of the 21 days it lasts.”可知,爱丁堡音乐节并不是全年都有。选项D,爱丁堡音乐节发展迅速,由文章最后一段“and today there are eight administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself”可知其规模不断变大。所以,答案为D。
C
Given that many people's moods (情结) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of almost always in the jar of sweets.
If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi's and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored (味道) chocolates.
The CRF’s produce is "green",made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series - with Sichuan pepper, red bean (豆),cheese and other flavors - also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others.
44. What is good about chocolate?
A. It serves as a suitable gift.
B. It works as an effective medicine.
C. It helps improve the state of mind.
D. It strengthens business relations.
45. Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?
A. He knows the importance of research.
B. He learns from shops of similar types.
C. He has the support of many big names.
D. He has a lot of marketing experience.
46. Which line of the CRF produce sells best?
A. The Connoisseur Series.
B. The Exotic Series.
C. The Alcohol Series.
D. The Sichuan Series.
47. The words "chocolate snobs" in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who _______.
A. are particular about chocolate
B. know little about cocoa beans
C. look down upon others
D. like to try new flavors
【总评】本文介绍了一个类似电影《查理和他的巧克力工厂》那样的,拥有一百多种巧克力的CRF。文章第一段先从巧克力的好处引出CRF及其创始人Chris Lee。第二段则从Chris Lee丰富的销售经验说明他的想法会是一个聪明的好点子。第三段则介绍了CRF中的不同巧克力系列。读完全文,会发现该文选材新颖,结构清晰,难度并不大。
44. C. It helps improve the state of mind.
【解析】细节题。本文的关键词为chocolate,根据出题原则,首先看第一段。发现第一段第一句话Given that many people's moods are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate... (人们的情绪由巧克力的化学作用调节),可知,巧克力的好处是能够提高情绪。因此正确答案为C. It helps improve the state of mind.注意选项中的state of mind其实为原文中moods的同义词。选项B为强干扰,虽说第三行提到了drugstore,但是句意是有人会把巧克力店开得类似中药房,并没有指出巧克力就是一种有效药。
45. D. He has a lot of marketing experience.
【解析】细节题。由关键词CRF和idea定位到第二段。根据that's because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as... 可知,Chris Lee不仅是个老道的销售人员,还是个销售部的主管,且该销售部与知名品牌有工作联系,可见Chris Lee的销售经验丰富正是能发展他想法的原因所在。本题的C选项为干扰项,虽然文中出现big names,但是只是作为他经验丰富的有利说明,而并没有指出这些大品牌为他的这个理念提供支持。
46. C. The Alcohol Series.
【解析】细节题。由关键词CRF和line定位到第三段。大家注意题干中的关键词best,它提示了我们也要在文中找到表示最高级含义的短语和句子,而句子...with the Alcohol Series being the most popular中的being the most popular正好含有最高级含义。所以正确答案为C。
47. A. are particular about chocolate
【解析】释义题。根据关键词chocolate snobs和Paragraph 3,定位到第三段And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others,我们可以发现who引导的从句正是对chocolate snobs的解释,即chocolate snobs指那些自认为比他人更懂得巧克力的人。纵观选项,答案B说他们几乎不懂咖啡豆,不符合文意,因为本句后面还说为了这些chocolate snobs,“鉴赏系列”特地用了来自多哥、古巴等地的咖啡豆;答案C说他们看轻别人,文中并没有提及;答案D说他们喜欢尝试新口味,也未在本句定义中提及,所以正确答案为A。A选项中的be particular about解释为“对……特别讲究的”,符合他们自认为更懂巧克力的特点。

Low-Cost Gifts for Mother’s Day
Gift No. 1
Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need," but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part? This one is free.
Gift No. 2
Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.
Gift No. 3
Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”
Gift No. 4
Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善机构). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things - many of which are “green” - and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach?
_______, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives?
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. ____52___, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
___53____?
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. ___54____. As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.?
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. ____55___. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
答案:
51. E
52. B
53. C
54. G
55. A
【解析】
该类题型考查段落衔接和整段理解。本文论述了进行公共演讲的训练要点。
纵览全文,F选项与文意无关,可以先行去除,将难度降低为从六个选项中选择五个。
51. E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough
【解析】本题与后句so get help. 形成因果关系,只有选项E可以作为原因。
52. B. You already do lots of things well
【解析】本题位于段中,通过上下文得出选项。后一句so good public speaking training should develop those与空格形成因果关系,所以空格中应表达“你已经做得很好了”的含义,所以B选项是正确答案。
53. C. Turn your back on too many rules
【解析】本题位于段首,为整段的主旨大意。从该段第一句可知,要对条条框框说不,所以C选项是正确答案。
54. G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
【解析】从前句Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about, 可知后一空与前一空形成因果关系,脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。
55. A. You aren’t like anybody else
【解析】段落标题是You are a special person not a clone (克隆),A选项呼应了主题。
