解析【小题1】根据前文,以前曾是一个以自我为中心的人,但过去两年已经开始改变。因此我已经开始为他人考虑了。为他人考虑就应该在考虑自己之前,故选before。
【小题2】我非常高兴,以为我正变成一个与以前那个以自我为中心的人不一样的人了。故选different。A,著名的,B,简单的,D,训练有素的。都不符合题意!
【小题3】我认为我的变化是开始于就读Palomar大学的时候。用change“变化”。而education教育,career职业生涯,tour旅行,观光    明显不符合。
【小题4】起初,我只是想要得到我的学历,所以单独呆着。故选C学历。A. balance平衡C. homework作业D. interest兴趣,显然不符!
【小题5】语境:我以为我比其他人都聪明,所以我很少跟班上的人说话。故选A。B. wrote写作;C. lied撒谎D. reported作报告
【小题6】根据后文:除了我每个人都交了朋友,都很快乐。因此,我确实很孤独。故选B。而A仔细的;C好奇的;D为内疚、有罪的意思。
【小题7】根据后文,我开始询问周围的人怎么样,可知我开始尝试与人交流。此处experiment“实验”,表示我开始尝试一个实验。Argument为争论,game游戏,defence辩护、防御等明显语意不符。
【小题8】offer to help“主动提出帮助”,根据前后文语境,作者询问他人是否有他可以帮忙的麻烦。
【小题9】对我来说,那确实是一个很大的进步。step“步伐,迈步”。此处意为我有了一次很大的迈步。而梦想,问题,责任等其他选项则不合适。
【小题10】此题辨析并列句和关系从句。根据两句间连词and可知两句关系为并列,故使用人称代词;根据句意:我交了几个新朋友,其中两个至今也是我最好的朋友。
【小题11】根据本段的叙述,我在Vista Nursing Home做兼职的时候所遇到的一件事是使他有了彻底转变以前态度的动机。故此处选attitude(态度)别的选项的意思依次为爱好、希望和运气。
【小题12】一个有阿尔茨海默氏病的老人成为了我的朋友。从后文可以看出她们的关系很好。此题很好的考差了做完形填空题要前后文联系的方法,别的选项,搭档、向导和客人显然文不达意。
【小题13】因为老人认为我是她女儿,所以每次我去她房间的时候,她很高兴(happy)。语境考察,A礼貌;C陌生、奇怪;D自信。
【小题14】她的女儿从来都没来看望(visit)她,因此我就取代了她女儿的位置。A、B、D依次为打扰、回答和信任的意思。
【小题15】她让我明白,让他人心情愉快同时也会让自己心情很好。此处see的意思为明白的意思,而不是作看见讲。
【小题16】当她去世的时候,我很伤心。经常相处的老人去世了,我应该很伤心(heartbroken)。别的选项的意思依次为:无家可归、坏脾气和无望,用在此处不合适。
【小题17】比起以前,我觉得我现在是一个更好的人。Better为比较级,表示更好,别的选项也都是比较级,但是意思不符合此处语境,此题比较简单。
【小题18】因为这些经历对我来说意义非凡,所以我希望不会忘记(forget)。B、C、D依次为面对、提高和分析的意思。
【小题19】这些经历教会(taught)我更多地关注他人而不是自己。此处比较而言,只有taught更符合题意!
【小题20】我是喜欢现在的我,而在几年前我却不能这么说。Miss错过,wonder想知道,expect期望,这三个选项不符合题意和语境

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter(痛苦的) about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

1.Why did the author feel bitter about her father as a young adult?

A.He was silent most of the time.             B.He was too proud of himself.

C.He did not love his children.               D.He expected too much of her.

2.When the author went out with her father on weekend, she would feel         .

A.nervous          B.sorry             C.tired             D.safe

3.What does the author think of her father after her visit to Tucson?

A.More critical.                          B.More talkative

C.Gentle and friendly.                      D.Strict and hard-working.

4.The underlined words “my new friend” in the last paragraph refer to         .

A.the author’s son                       B.the author’s father

C.the friend of the author’s father           D.the café owner

下面文章中有4处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D和E)中选出符合各段意思的小标题, 选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. Early to Bed, Early to Rise

B. Read Challenging Books

C. Relax yourself

D. Minimize Television Watching

E. Take Time to Reflect

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence

Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.  

Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.

1. __________-This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.

When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.

Exercise- I used to think that I'd learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated(精力充沛)and can concentrate more easily.

2. __________-Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren't mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.

3. __________-Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You'll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(无精打采)and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity(敏锐)all day.

If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.

4. __________-Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what's important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.

Conclusion-I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I've proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.

I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many children dislike fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.
