【解析】

本文介绍了作者的表哥很消极,遇到问题只知道抱怨,从不想办法解决。后来作者给他讲了Chris的故事,让他大受鼓舞,从此停止抱怨,开始努力工作。

1句意:当他面对一个问题时,他总是选择抱怨,而不是想办法解决它。

考查介词短语。instead of代替;because of因为;rather than而不。rather than后跟动词原形,空后的finding是动名词,因此排除C;结合语境,此处是指当他面对一个问题时,他总是选择抱怨,而不是想办法解决它。故选A

2句意:他应该也可以找到一份好工作,努力工作养活自己,但他整天抱怨。

考查情态动词。might可能;will愿,要;could可以。结合后文的语境:努力工作养活自己,但他整天只知道抱怨,还不停地换工作。可知选择could可以。此处是指他可以找到一份好工作养活自己。故选C

3句意:从一个工作转到另一个工作。

考查代词。the other特指两者中的另一个;another多个中的另一个;other其他的(可作为形容词,后接名词的复数)。根据语境:从一个工作转到另一个工作。根据常识工作是多个中的一个。故选B

4句意:有一天,我读到一个叫克里斯的农民的故事,把这个农民的事讲给泰德听。

考查名词辨析。cook厨师;doctor医生; farmer农民。根据“I read about a farmer called Chris,”,我读到一个叫克里斯的农民的故事。the在这里表示特指上文提到的farmer农民。此处是指把这个农民的事讲给泰德听。故选C

5句意:但克里斯和其他农民的确不一样。

考查副词辨析。only仅;exactly精确地;hardly几乎不。根据“What makes him different is that he was born without arms or legs.”使他与众不同的是他生来就没有胳膊和腿。可知,此处选择exactly精确地;是指克里斯和其他农民的确不一样。故选B

6句意:但这并没有阻止他努力工作和完成任务。

考查非谓语动词。选项A为过去分词;选项B为动名词;选项C为动词原形。句中的things 是物,应该是被做,即:get+sth.+done“使某事被做”;而get+sb.(sth.)+doing“让某人(物)行动起来”。表示动作的正在进行。此处是指这并没有阻止他努力工作和完成任务。因此用过去分词。故选A

7句意:他开着农用车,照看庄稼。

考查动词短语。looks up抬头看;looks like看起来像;looks after照顾。根据上文的叙述“And he can do a lot!”他能做很多!以及句子“He drives farm vehicles and 7 crops.”可知,虽然Chris没有胳膊和腿,但是他可以开着农用车,照看庄稼。故选C

8句意:克里斯是一个很好的例子,他充分利用了自己的天赋。

考查形容词的最高级。fewer更少的;most最多;best最好的。the应该加形容词的最高级,排除A;此处是make the most of his gifts:充分利用他的天赋。故选B

9句意:与克里斯相比,特德幸运得多。

考查形容词辨析。luckier幸运的;taller高的;heavier重的。结合上文的语境可知,克里斯是一个没有胳膊和腿的人,而特德是一个健全的人,因此特德比克里斯幸运得多。故选A

10句意:如果你还抱怨的话,就想想克里斯。

考查连词。whether是否;If如果;Unless除非。分析句子结构可知,此处是由if引导的条件状语从句。是指如果你还抱怨的话,就想想克里斯吧。故选B

本题的第3小题是考查代词的。首先要区分这三个词的用法。

1. other可作形容词或代词,做形容词时,意思是“别的,其他”,泛指“其他的(人或物)”。

如: Put it in your other hand. 把它放在你另一只手里。

2. the other指两个人或物中的一个时,只能用the other,不能用another,此时的other作代词。如:He has two daughters. One is a nurse, the other is a worker. 他有两个女儿,一个是护士,另一个是工人。

3. another既可作形容词,也可作代词,只能用于三个或更多的人或物,泛指同类事物中的三者或三者以上的“另一个”,只能代替或修饰单数可数名词。

如:I don’t like this one. Please show me another. 我不喜欢这一个,请给我看看另一个。此题的another就代替了drifting from one job中的job。是指从一个工作转到另一个工作。

【题目】 “Your hair looks great!” “I love your new mobile phone!” “You really did a good job!” These are some popular English compliments you might hear.
