20.Christmas Eve was tomorrow.I hoped one of the packages that held a camera had already been placed under the Christmas tree.It was the only thing I wanted.I had been  dropping hints to my parents.I love taking photos.My bedroom walls are covered with photos I had taken with my mom's old camera.I'm always trying to capture (捕捉) those perfect moments in which you can hear the laughter or touch the beautiful scene,but my camera has always seemed to fall short.
I knew Mom had put a few presents under the tree this morning,so I went on a hunt in my mom's room.I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat.I felt so disappointed.
Mom seemed to notice that,and she tried to cheer me up."Stacy,I got your present today.I am so excited to surprise you!""I can't wait,"I said.The next day I couldn't wait any longer.I needed to tell her.
"Mom,may I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure,dear.What do you need to talk about?"she asked.
And so it came-how upset I was that I was getting a cat.
"Stacy,that cat is for your sister Julia!"she said with a smile.
"Then what am I getting?"I asked.
She just smiled."You'll have to wait and see."
The next morning,I happily got into the living room and sat next to the tree.I pulled out the box with my name on it and opened the wrapping paper to find…
My camera!"Thank you!"I said to both Dad and Mom.
Dad picked up the camera and took a picture of Julia,Mom and me.It has become one of my favorite pictures.Just on that Christmas morning,I took lots of photos with my camera-my little sister making a face,my parents giving me a soft smile-and all of these photos have come to mean one thing to me:love.

1.The underlined phrase"dropping hints"in Paragraph 1meansB.
A.talking often        B.suggesting indirectly
C.sending presents     D.taking pictures
2.Why did Stacy feel disappointed at first?D
A.Her mother couldn't understand her at all.
B.Her mother didn't buy her any Christmas gift.
C.She didn't find her present in her mom's room.
D.She mistook her sister's Christmas gift for hers.
3.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.her mother bought Stacy a camera after discovering her disappointment
B.Stacy finally got her gift on Christmas Eve
C.Stacy thought it's OK to have an old camera
D.her mother knew what gift Stacy wanted for Christmas
4.What would be the best title for the passage?A
A.A Christmas gift as wished.
B.Love is more important than gifts.
C.A wonderful Christmas.
D.Love can not be bought.

分析 本文叙述Stacy在圣诞节时想要一个礼物就是一部相机,可一次偶然的机会他看见了父母还没有来得及包装的礼物-粉红的小猫玩具,他误认为是父母给他的礼物,他很失望,结果等到打开礼物时,一看是自己想要的相机,高兴极了,于是他给他的家人拍了许多照片,他感觉他收到了父母的爱.

解答 1.答案:B.词义猜测题.dropping hints暗示;根据上下文可知作者一直想要一个相机,总是暗示父母他的愿望,故选B.
2.答案:D.细节理解题.根据I opened the door and found my Christmas present was lying unwrapped on the floor-a big pink cat.I felt so disappointed.他把给他的妹妹的礼物当成是给自己的,因为他先要的是相机而他看到的是一只粉红色的小猫玩具,所以他很失望,故选D.
3.答案:D.细节理解题.根据She just smiled."You'll have to wait and see."他的母亲笑着说的,可知母亲知道他想要什么礼物,故选D.
4.答案:A.主旨大意题.阅读全文,根据整篇短文的大意可知,本文主要围绕礼物而展开的,故选A.

点评 本文是一篇人物故事类阅读,题目涉及词义猜测题,主旨大意题,细节理解题.做题时学生应仔细阅读原文,把握文章主要内容,联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义,从中选出正确答案,一定要做到有理有据,切忌胡乱猜测.

11.The decisions that we make shape us throughout our lives.No matter what decisions we make,good or bad,each one puts us on a new road in the future.Make a bad decision?No problem.Learn from the decision and make another decision to get on a different path.This is advice that I got from Tony Robbins in his book Awaken the Giant Within.This is a book that I recommend(推荐) to anyone wanting to develop a fire to make changes in their life.It helped me to understand how fear of making poor choices was hinderingme from becoming the great man who I am today.Now I am not saying I am a well-known person in any particular circle.But I am the king of my castle working hard and trying to make good decisions in regard to the paths that I have chosen.I am a great man in the eyes of my wife and my children.And that is all the recognition that I need in my lifetime.And I know that my past failures have been the building block that I continue to use to build my career and self-image in my community that I live in.
Ben Lerer,cofounder of the CEO of Thrillist Media Group,is a good example of this.In a n article on the Fast Company website,Lerer talks about this very subject.He says,"I've had to make some really tough decisions but finally,I think the best companies are those that can recognize when something isn't goi ng right,and fix it,instead of just turning a blind eye because it's easier."Great people make decisions.When a decision does not have the desired result,make a different decision.It does not get any simpler than that.

9.I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people.Actually,most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
If you are feeling anxious,my advice is to first find the cause or causes.Make a list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about.Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes,so things they can's control become a big reason for nervousness.Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness.You might be worried about the weather on a big day,an accident or an attack on the train,or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work.The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things.Accept that you can't control everything.Once you understand this,it becomes easier not to worry.
If a situation,such as swimming,is causing you to be anxious,try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that makes you nervous-then close your eyes and imagine it going well.Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it.This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.
51.Who wrote this passage?A
A.A professor.
B.A sportsman.
C.A patient.
D.A reporter.

A.most are not very important      
B.they are not the real causes of the problem
C.they cannot be controlled by people
D.it's better to deal with one cause at a time
53.If swimming makes you nervous,what should you do according to the writer?A
A.Go swimming often to get used to it.
B.Avoid going to the swimming pool.
C.Find a swimming teacher.
D.Imagine watching others swim.
54.What is true about nervousness according to the passage?D
A.It usually has only one cause.
B.It is usually caused by people.
C.People can easily manage it.
D.Most people suffer from it.
55.What is the main purpose of this passage?B
