【题目】The old man is _______ with his retired life that he always wears a ______ smile.

A. so satisfied; content

B. well content; contented

C. so content; contented

D. satisfied; satisfying

【答案】C

【解析】

试题分析:考察形容词。固定搭配:so…that太…以致于,固定搭配:be satisfied with…对…满意。Contend表示“甘心的,甘愿的”。Contended指“知足”,安于现状已无所他求。Satisfied表示某事完全满足了个人的心愿、欲望、需要或要求,有积极愉快的意味。句意:这位老人很满足他的退休生活以致于他总是知足地笑着。故选C。

Friendship is a kind of treasure in our lives. It is actually like a bottle of wine, the longer it 【1】(keep), the sweeter it will be. It is also like a cup of tea.

阅读下列四篇短文,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

Last week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me? I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, OK, as long as I can follow you. He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.

As we came back to the convenience store, she said, This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this. I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too. Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today. I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.

【题目】请认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格填1个单词。

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children dont come with an instruction handbook. And each child is different. So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration, not knowing what to do. But in raising children----as in all of life---what we do is influenced by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American values.

To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children stand on their own two feet. From infancy, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they gain more freedom to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they choose their own careers and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults still seek their parents’ advice and approval for the choices they make. But once they “leave the nest” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not “tied to their mother's apron strings.”

The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals─ not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to fulfill their own dreams. Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the confidence to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a friendship among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.

Most young couples with children struggle with the issue of childcare. Mothers have traditionally stayed home with their children. In recent years, though, a growing trend is to put preschoolers in a day care center so Mom can work. Many Americans have strong feelings about which type of arrangement is best. Some argue that attending a day care center can be a positive experience for children. Others insist that mothers are the best caregivers for children. A number of women are now leaving the workforce to become full-time homemakers.

Disciplining children is another area that American parents have different opinions about. Many parents feel that an old-fashioned spanking(一顿打) helps youngsters learn what “No!” means. Others prefer alternate forms of discipline. For example, “time outs” have become popular in recent years. Children in “time out” have to sit in a corner or by a wall. They can get up only when they are ready to act nicely. Older children and teenagers who break the rules may be grounded, or not allowed to go out with friends. Some of their privileges at home like TV or telephone use may also be taken away for a while. Although discipline isn't fun for parents or children, it’s a necessary part of training.

Being a parent is a tall order. It takes patience, love, wisdom, courage and a good sense of humor to raise children. Some people are just deciding not to have children at all, since they're not sure it's worth it. But raising children means training the next generation and preserving our culture. What could be worth more than that?
