Money was tight, bills were due 2 my wife and I couldn’t even afford to get Christmas gifts for each other. The only gifts we could get for our children were a few soft toys that I had found 3 (sell) at half price in the supermarket. I opened the door and brought in the gifts I 4 (hide) in our old car’s trunk. Then I handed 5 to my son and daughter. I watched with a sad smile as they did their best to tear off the wrapping (包装) paper. As they pulled out their toys, though, I noticed their 6 lit up and they jumped up and down. My daughter 7 (happy) hugged her toy and then hugged her mom and me as well. I laughed as I watched my children play with their toys 8 hours, and I thanked God for the 9 (great) gift I had ever been given. Till today I still treasure 10 gift of pure love that my son and daughter gave me that day.

【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文,圣诞节到了,虽然我家经济很紧张,但仍然给孩子买了礼物,孩子真诚的笑让我感觉到这是我收到的最好的圣诞节礼物。

1考查非谓语动词。句意:二十年前我年轻的时候,努力做一名实际工作不多的代课教师。句中动词struggle与句子主语I构成主动关系,所以使用现在分词在句中做状语。故填struggling。

2考查连词。句意:钱非常紧,有账单要支付并且妻子和我甚至都不能为对方买圣诞节礼物。上下文之间是顺接关系,所以使用and/so连接上下文。故填and/so。

3考查非谓语动词。句意:我们给孩子的唯一的礼物是一些我在超市里发现的半价出售的毛绒玩具。本句中名词a few soft toys与动词sell at half price之间构成被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语做定语。故填sold。

4考查时态。本文叙述的是二十年前的事情,基本时态是一般过去时,本句中作者事先把玩具藏在车里,然后才拿出来。所以使用过去完成时表示过去的过去。故填had hidden。

5考查代词或名词;句意:我把礼物递给儿子和女儿。本句中使用代词them指代前句中的the gifts,也可以直接使用the gifts做动词hand的宾语。故填them/the gifts。

6考查名词和常识。当孩子拿到圣诞节礼物的时候,他们通常都是非常高兴的。眼睛会发亮或面露喜色。故填eyes/faces。

7考查副词。句意:女儿开心地拥抱了她的玩具,接着拥抱了她的妈妈和我。英语中副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子,本句中使用副词happily做状语修饰动词hug her toys。故填happily。

8考查介词。句意:我笑着看着孩子玩他们的玩具好几个小时。固定短语“for+一段时间意为时间里”, 故填for。

9考查形容词。本句中使用最高级greatest修饰名词gift,作者认为这是我给孩子最好的礼物。故填greatest。

10考查定冠词。句意:直到今天我仍然珍惜我儿子和女儿给我的纯真的爱的礼物。定冠词the通常表示特指,不定冠词a/an通常表示泛指。本句中使用定冠词the特指gift of pure love。故填the。

【题目】 Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding. It is a powerful tool that we use without even knowing it.

The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you see someone yawn, you are likely to yawn immediately. Smiling is also pretty contagious-seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.

Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.

Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are regarded as better talkers, even if they might not really have more close friends.

It is interesting that when a man tries to mirror a woman's body language while she is talking, he may seem to her as caring, intelligent and attractive.

Mirroring body language is an excellent way to build trust and understanding quickly. If you want to set up a connection with a new person, mirror his or her gestures, sitting position, tone of voice and talking pace. This will make them feel that there is something about you that they like.

While mirroring body language gains you acceptance, you still need to take into consideration your relationship with the person you are mirroring. If you are in a lower social position and are mirroring the body language of your boss, he will view you as arrogant. However, if you want to defeat those who are trying to prove superior to you, mirroring their body language will help defeat them and change their position.

1What does the underlined word “contagious” in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Affecting each other.B.Powerful to show one's feelings.

C.Attractive to the others.D.Being gentle to people around.

2When copying others' body language, one usually can ______.

A.send wrong messagesB.hide true feelings

C.win others' acceptanceD.avoid misunderstanding

3What might happen if you try to mirror your boss's body language?

A.You will appear very attractive.B.It will help to soften his position.

C.You will seem unacceptably proud.D.It will be a good way to build trust.

4What is the main idea of the text?

A.It is important to copy the others' gestures.

B.Why women are regarded as better talkers.

C.Men is not good at nonverbal communication.

D.Mirroring body language can be a useful tool.
