8.Around twenty years ago I was living in York.(16)Though/Although I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree,I could not find satisfying work.
I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine,for I had lost my flat.I had attended five interviews with a company and one day,between bus runs,they called to say I did not get (17)the  job."Why has my life become so hard?"I thought (18)painfully  (painful).
As I pulled the bus over(19)to drop(drop) off a little girl,she handed me an earring(耳环)saying that I should keep it in case somebody claimed (认领) it.The earring (20)was painted(paint )black and said"BE HAPPY".
At first I got angry.Then it hit me-----I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with (21)my life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with.Later,I decided to add more things to the list.That night there was a phone call for me (22)from a lady who was a director at a large hospital.She asked me (23)if/whether I would give a one-day lecture on stress (24)management (manage) to 200medical workers.I said yes.
My day there went very well,and before long I got a well-paid job.To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking(25)thatI completely changed my life.

分析 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章.文章讲述了我20年前在纽约经历的一段艰难生活.起初,我虽然有经验和硕士学位,但还是找不到满意的工作.我当司机时一个小女孩给我她捡的一个耳环改变了我的生活.从此以后,我列了一个感到满意的50件事情清单,并决定不断添加.后来我终于找到了一份高薪的工作.我知道正是因为我改变了我的思维方式,我才改变了我的生活.

解答 16.Though/Although考查连词.根据"我还是不能找到满意的工作"可知上句意为"虽然我有许多经验和硕士学位",两句之间是转折关系为让步状语从句,故填Though/Although.
17.the 考查定冠词.根据句意:我参加了一家公司的五次面试,但他们说,我不能获得这项工作.可知此处的工作特指我参加面试的那份工作,所以应用定冠词表特指,故填the.
18.painfully考查副词.因为副词修饰动词,所以修饰动词thought应用painful的副词形式,故填painfully.     
19.to drop考查非谓语. 句意:当我把车停下来让一个小女孩下车.此处用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to drop.    
20.was painted 考查被动语态.主语The earring与谓语动词paint是被动关系且文章叙述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was painted.
21.my 考查形容词性物主代词.根据空后的名词和句意可知此处应用形容词性物主代词,句意:我把一切注意力都集中在了我生活的不顺上而没有关注好的方面.故填my.
22.from 考查介词.根据语境可知此处意为"来自…",那天晚上我接到了一位女士打给我的电话,故填from.   
23.if/whether考查连词. 此处用whether/if引导宾语从句,在句中不充当任何成分,只是一个引导词,意为"是否".句意:她问我是否会给200名医务人员做为期一天的压力管理讲座,故填whether/if.   
24.management考查名词.根据空前的介词on可知此处应用动词manage的名词形式,句意:她问我是否会给200名医务工作者做为期一天的压力管理讲座,故填management.   
25.that 考查强调句.前面的it was和此处的that构成强调句,句意:对于这一天,我知道正是因为我改变了我的思维方式,我才改变了我的生活.故填that.

点评 语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力,在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意,在读懂短文的基础上,结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析,逐题解答.扎实的语法功底加上准确的理解是解答语法填空题的关键.

Travelling around the world with children is difficult enough, while attempting it without using motorized transport is even more of challenge.Even so, Dario Schworer a 42-year-old climatologist and mountain guide, and his 33-year-old wife Sabine are on a journey to do just that.

The Swiss couple want to travel across the world's oceans and climb the highest mountain on every continent to promote Earth-friendly ways of life.

"We are collecting good examples of dealing with climate change and living in harmony with nature and we want to spread such ideas." Schworer said."We want to help people affected by global warming and to inspire children for the future."

Recently after having spent three months teaching children in the Everest region, the couple want to show it is possible to travel through the world's climate zones using just human-power and forces of nature.

In the 47 countries they have visited they have collected 22 tons of trash, taught people in Ecuador how the sun's rays can be used to clean water and inspired a person in Chile to build a house on water with recycled plastic bottles as a foundation.They have also collected trash in the mountains of Nepal with school children.

So far they have communicated with 45,000 children from South America, Australia and Asia, giving presentations about the importance of recycling and using alternative energy like solar and wind power.

When they began their adventure in 2003 they had no children of their own.But since then two has become five: daughter Sabine is now five years old, Andri was born in Chile and baby Neo was born in Australia.

Initially the couple thought they would complete their travels in four years, but now, they believe it could take seven more.

"Since our belief is the need to respect nature, we travel only when conditions are good," Schworer said.

But when he talks about his early piano training,Kong speaks of"bitterness"and"hardship."He says"A pianist has no childhood at all.I didn't understand the games other children played."

When he was 7,Kong's mother borrowed enough money to buy a second-hand piano for him.She almost spent all her savings on the instrument,so it was a real fortune.It was not a good quality piano and the keys were yellow and old,"like an old woman's teeth."Kong used this"old granny"piano for 10years.It stimulated his real passion for learning music because he was fascinated(着迷的) by the beautiful sound of a real piano after years at the paper keyboard.He has kept the old piano to remind him of those days.
Practice is the only path to success.Knowing that,Kong was a hard-working student at school,where he wore out several keyboards on musical exercises.
58.Why did Kong Xiangdong shaved off his hair?B
A.Because his fans like it.
B.Because his hair started to lose.
C.Because it is very friendly to environment.
D.Because he never used shampoo or a hair dryer.
59.The underlined word"declined"in paragraph3means"A"
A.droped         B.enlarged          C.landed           D.raised
60.Why did Kong Xiangdong call his piano"old granny"for 10years in paragraph4?B
A.Because it was of good quality.
B.Because it was of bad quality with yellow and old keys.
C.Because it used to be played by an old woman before.
D.Because it almost took all of his mother's money to buy it.
61.What do we know about Xiangdong in this passage?D

16.[1]In ancient Greece,there was a great philosopher named Socrates. One day one fellow met him and said,"Do you know what I just heard about your friend?"
[2]"        ,"Socrates replied."Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test(三重过滤测试).
[3]"Triple filter?"
[4]"That's right,"Socrates continued."Before you talk to me about my friend,it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"
[5]"No,"the man said,"actually I just heard about it and…"
[6]"All right,"said Socrates."So you don?t know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter,the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"
[7]"No,on the contrary…"
[8]‘‘So,"Socrates continued,"you want to tell me something bad about him,but you're not certain it's true.You may still pass the test though,because there's one filter left,the filter of Usefulness.Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"
[9]"No,not really."
[10]"Well,"concluded Socrates,"if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful,why tell it to me at all?"
    LESSON:
[11]You can always participate in loose talks when you feel bored. But when it comes to your friends it's not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.
76.What's the best title of the passage?( no more than 3 words)Socrates'Test
77.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. ( no more than 4 words)
Just a minute.

Truth.Goodness.Usefulness

17.On May 23,1989,Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad,New Mexico.She hadn't seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks.Stefania was in a research program,and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms.In this experiment Stefania had spent 130days in a cave,30feet in depth.
During her time in the cave,Stefania had been completely alone except for two white mice.Her living place had been very comfortable,but there had been nothing to tell her the time.She'd had no clocks or watches,no television or radio.There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting.Stefania had been in the cave for over four months,but she thought she had been there for only two.Her body clock had changed.She hadn't kept to a 24-hour day.She had stayed awake for 20-25hours and then had slept for 10hours.She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171bs in weight as a result!She had also become rather depressed.
How had she spent her time in the cave?As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests.She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer.This computer had been specially programmed for the project.Whenever she was free,she'd played cards,read books and listened to music.She'd also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature.For example,the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep.However,people are affected in different ways.Some people wake up naturally at 5:00am,but others don't start to wake up till 9:00or 10:00am.This affects the whole daily rhythm.As a result,the early risers are at their best in the late morning.The late risers,on the other hand,are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!

59.Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time becauseB.
A.she needed to record her life
B.she was part of a research program.
C.she wanted to experience loneliness
D.she was asked to do research on mice
60.What is the cause for the change of Stefania's body clock?C
A.Eating fewer meals.
B.Having more hours of sleep.
C.Getting no natural light.
D.Lacking physical exercise.
61.The text is most probably taken fromA.
A.A news story.
B.A novel.
C.A pet magazine.
D.A travel guide.

18.Three men were travelling across the desert when their car broke down.There were no other traffics,so their only hope was to walk.
Before they set off,they looked around in the car for useful things to take with them.One of the men took a bottle of whisky.Another took an umbrella.The third unscrewed a door from the car and carried that.
After they had been walking for almost a day,they came across a camel caravan travelling towards them.
"Let's try to join the caravan,"one of the men said."It's going the wrong way but we'll be safer than if we keep on alone across the desert."
The other s agreed,so they asked the leader of the caravan for permission to join it.
"You can join the caravan only if you answer three questions,"he said.He pointed to the first man's bottle."What is that and why are you carrying it?"he asked.
"It's a bottle of whisky.I decided to carry it with me so that if I feel miserable and want to give up,I can get drunk,cheer myself up and then keep on walking."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.Then he pointed to the next man and his umbrella.
"It hasn't rained in the desert for many years,"he said."Why are you carrying an umbrella?"
"I don't want to get heat exhaustion,"he replied."The umbrella will give me shade from the sun."
"Very sensible,"the leader of the caravan said.He pointed to the third man and his car door."And why are you carrying a car door?"he asked him.
"I thought that if I got too hot I could open the window and let some air in,"he explained.

41.What happened to the three men's car?C
A.It fell over a cliff.
B.It had an accident.
C.It stopped and wouldn't start again.
