letter from seventeenyearold Kerry, who described herself as a worldclass faultfinder, almost always　3　by things.People were always doing things that annoyed her, and　4　was ever good enough.She was highly selfcritical and also found fault with her friends.She became a really　5　person.‎ Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her　6　.Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash.What made it almost　7　to deal with was that the day before the　8　， Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her　9　of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to　10　.It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became　11　her habit of finding fault.Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to　12　everything so harshly(刻薄)．She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her　13　as well.‎ Perhaps most of us aren’t as extreme at faultfinding, __14__when we’re honest, we can be sharply__15__of the world.I’m not suggesting you__16__problems, or that you pretend things are__17__than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are－__18__most of the time, and especially when it’s not a really big__19__.‎ Train yourself to “bite your tongue”， and with a little__20__， you’ll get really good at letting things go.And when you do, you’ll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。Kerry本来是一个事事挑剔、苛刻的女孩，但通过她最好的朋友遭遇了车祸这件事，她变得对一切不再那么刻薄了。这篇文章旨在告诉我们：不要用一种挑剔的眼光去看世界，要心胸开阔一些。当我们养成这种习惯的时候，就能重拾对生活的热情，而且心中会充满爱。‎ ‎1．A.lonely　　　B．great　　　C．quiet　　　D．uneasy 解析　世界上最简单的事情之一就是成为一个吹毛求疵的人。然而，当你不忙着找茬时，生活可能是________。由However表示的转折关系可知，本空应选great，表示“生活可能是美好的”。lonely孤独的，寂寞的；great伟大的，极好的；quiet安静的，寂静的；uneasy不安的，不稳定的。‎ 答案　B ‎2．A.received B．answered C．expected D．rejected 解析　由固定搭配可知，“收到来信”动词用receive，故答案为A项。前文没有提到Kerry给作者写信，所以不能选answered(回复)。‎ 答案　A ‎3．A.threatened B．interrupted C．bothered D．spoiled 解析　由后句的“People were always doing things that annoyed her”可知，她经常因为人们做的事而感到“烦恼”。threaten威胁，恐吓；interrupt打断，插嘴；bother打扰，烦恼；spoil娇惯，宠坏。故本空应选bothered。‎ 答案　C ‎4．A.anything B．everything C．something D．nothing 解析　由前句“People were always doing things that annoyed her”可知，Kerry对一切都觉得不满意，没有什么是足够好的。故选nothing。‎ 答案　D ‎5．A.caring B．boring C．interesting D．surprising 解析　由前文可知，Kerry对一切都非常挑剔，她不但对自己苛刻，而且也找朋友的茬。由此可知Kerry是一个令人烦的人，故选boring。caring关心他人的；interesting有趣的；surprising令人惊奇的。‎ 答案　B ‎6．A.attitude B．plan C．measure D．explanation 解析　根据后文中的“It wasn’t until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became__11__her habit of finding fault.Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to__12__everything so harshly(刻薄)．”可知，在她最好的朋友经历了一次可怕的事故后，Kerry对事情的“态度(attitude)”发生了改变，故本空应选attitude。plan计划；measure措施；explanation解释。‎ 答案　A ‎7．A.urgent B．unnecessary C．certain D．impossible 解析　事故发生的前一天Kerry拜访了她的这个朋友并一直挑朋友的毛病。据此可知，这使得事情几乎无法应对，所以应选impossible。urgent急迫的，催促的；unnecessary不必要的，多余的；certain必然的，确定的。‎ 答案　D ‎8．A.occasion B．event C．accident D．adventure 解析　根据前面提到的a horrible accident可知此处应选accident。‎ 答案　C ‎9．A.memory B．notice C．evidence D．choice 解析　根据语境并结合四个选项的含义可知，此处指对男朋友的“选择(choice)”。memory记忆；notice通知；evidence证据。‎ 答案　D ‎10．A.hear B．contribute C．express D．admit 解析　由前文可知，Kerry一直在“表达(express)”对各种事情和人的意见。故本空应选C项。‎ 答案　C ‎11．A.aware of B．afraid of C．curious about D．confused about 解析　根据后文中的“Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life”可知Kerry对待生活的态度变了，之所以会有这种变化是因为她“意识到(aware of)”了自己挑剔的习惯，所以选择A项。(be)afraid of害怕，担心；(be)curious about 对……感到好奇；(be)confused about对……感到困惑。‎ 答案　A ‎12．A.discuss B．realize C．judge D．settle 解析　由rather than(而不是)可知，后面表达的意思应该与appreciate life(欣赏生活)表达的意思相反。discuss讨论，商讨；realize意识到，实现；judge评价，断定；settle解决，安排。结合四个选项的含义可知应是如此刻薄地“评判(judge)”每一件事，故选C项。‎ 答案　C ‎13．A.family B．life C．career D．education 解析　由前文可知，Kerry对待生活其他方面的态度也发生了转变，故本空应选life(生活)。family家庭；career职业；education教育。‎ 答案　B ‎14．A.so B．or C．but D．for 解析　根据下一段开头的“Train yourself to ‘bite your tongue’”可知，此处是说“或许我们大多数人并不是极其爱挑剔，但是(but)，当我们诚实的时候，我们都会对这个世界有尖锐的批评”。由本空前后句意可知，前后两部分为转折关系，故应用but。‎ 答案　C ‎15．A.proud B．sure C．hopeful D．critical 解析　根据上题的分析可知，此处应选critical。be critical of “对……爱挑毛病，对……持批评态度”。‎ 答案　D ‎16．A.face B．create C．solve D．ignore 解析　根据后面的“but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are”可知，此处指作者并不是建议大家“忽视(ignore)”问题，故选D项。‎ 答案　D ‎17．A.rarer B．better C．stranger D．worse 解析　or连接表示选择关系的句子，此处表达的含义应该与ignore problems意思相近，也就是假装事情比实际情况“更好(better)”，故选B项。‎ 答案　B ‎18．A.at least B．at last C．by far D．so far 解析　根据前面的“you learn to allow things to be as they are”可知，此处说的是“至少(at least)”在大多数情况下应该是这样。故选A项。at last最后，终于；by far到目前为止；so far到目前为止，迄今为止。‎ 答案　A ‎19．A.task B．deal C．result D．duty 解析　根据句中的especially可知，此处表示递进关系，尤其当它真的不是一件大事(deal)时。故选B项。‎ 答案　B ‎20．A.practice B．speech C．rest D．pity 解析　此处是指训练自己忍住不说，稍加练习(practice)，就会让事情顺其自然。由句中的train可知，本空应选A。‎ 答案　A B ‎(2015·陕西)Dad had a green comb.He bought it when he married Mum.Every night, he would hand me his__1__and say, “Good girl, help Daddy clean it, OK？”‎ I was__2__to do it.At age five, this dull task brought me such__3__.I would excitedly turn the tap__4__and brush the comb carefully.Satisfied

routine(习惯)meant Dad was home early to__14__the evening with Mum and me.It__15__a happy and loving family.‎ I passed the clean comb back to Dad.He smiled at me and__16__placed his comb on his wallet.But this time, I noticed something__17__.Dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled，__18__his smile was still as__19__as before, the smile of a father who just wanted a

D．brush 解析　联系文章第一句话“Dad had a green comb.”可知，每天晚上，爸爸都会递给“我”他的梳子(comb)让“我”帮他清洗。‎ 答案　C ‎2．A.annoyed B．relieved C．ashamed D．pleased 解析　联系后文的excitedly以及Satisfied可知，“我”很愿意干这个活儿，因此选pleased(高兴的)。annoyed生气的；relieved如释重负的；ashamed羞愧的，均不符合语境。‎ 答案　D ‎3．A.joy B．sadness C．courage D．pain 解析　由后文的excitedly和Satisfied可知，给爸爸洗梳子给“我”带来了很多快乐(joy)，而非伤心(sadness)、勇气(courage)或痛苦(pain)。由下文第13空后的such a pleasure也可推断此处用joy。‎ 答案　A ‎4．A.out B．over C．in D．on 解析　清洗梳子当然要打开水龙头(turn the tap on)。turn on“打开”，为固定搭配。‎ 答案　D ‎5．A.stare B．smile C．shout D．laugh 解析　由空后的affectionately可知，当“我”把梳子高兴地还给爸爸时，他会充满爱意地朝“我”微笑(smile at me)，而不是盯着“我”看(stare at me)，也不是朝“我”大声叫(shout at me)，更不是嘲笑“我”(laugh at me)。‎ 答案　B ‎6．A.family B．business C．task D．journey 解析　由下一段中的信息“After my graduation, Dad’s business was getting back on ‎ track.”可知，此处表示父亲创办了自己的公司(business)。family家庭；task任务；journey旅行。‎ 答案　B ‎7．A.progress B．change C．improve D．form 解析　由空后信息“Dad didn’t come home as early and as much as he used to.”可知，情况开始改变(change)了。progress进展；improve改善；form形成。‎ 答案　B ‎8．A.satisfied B．delighted C．mad D．strict 解析　由空后信息“for placing our family in trouble”可知，妈妈和“我”对爸爸很生气。四个选项中只有mad能表达此意。‎ 答案　C ‎9．A.time B．patience C．speed D．ease 解析　由前文内容可知，爸爸不再像以前那样早早回家，“我”和妈妈因为爸爸让我们陷入困境而生他的气。由此推断，此处表示随着时间的流逝(with time)我们之间开始出现一种令人不舒服的沉默。‎ 答案　A ‎10．A.occasionally B．early C．frequently D．rarely 解析　由空前内容可知，爸爸的公司正在步入正轨。在“我”28岁生日那天，爸爸应该是很早(early)就回家了，而不是偶尔(occasionally)、频繁地(frequently)或很少(rarely)回家。‎ 答案　B ‎11．A.sharpen B．repair C．clean D．keep 解析　联系前文可知，“我”小时候一直以给爸爸清洗梳子为乐，爸爸也很高兴“我”这么做。因此此处爸爸提出让“我”再帮他清洗(clean)梳子。sharpen(使)变锋利；repair修理；keep保管。‎ 答案　C ‎12．A.dropped B．took C．handed D．threw 解析　此处是三个并列的谓语动词，“我”看了爸爸一会儿，然后拿了梳子，朝洗脸盆走去。表示“拿走”用take。drop丢下，hand交给，throw扔，均不符合语境。‎ 答案　B ‎13．A.watching B．letting C．helping D．hearing 解析　联系前文可知，“我”小时候一直帮爸爸清洗梳子，并从中获得了很多乐趣，故此处选helping。‎ 答案　C ‎14．A.find B．lose C．waste D．spend 解析　那一习惯意味着爸爸早早回家陪“我”和妈妈度过夜晚。spend some time with sb.“跟某人度过一段时间”。‎ 答案　D ‎15．A.affected B．broke C．meant D．supported 解析　一家三口，其乐融融，这才是一个幸福的、有爱的家庭。mean意味着；affect影响；break打破；support支持。由语境及上文中的meant可判断选C项。‎ 答案　C ‎16．A.firmly B．hurriedly C．casually D．carefully 解析　联系前文可知，父亲很看重“我”给他洗的那把梳子，所以“我”把干净的梳子递给他时，他像以前一样，小心翼翼地(carefully)放在他的钱包上。firmly坚定地；hurriedly匆忙地；casually随意地。‎ 答案　D ‎17．A.different B．exciting C．interesting D．urgent 解析　由空后内容“Dad had aged.He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled...”可知，这次“我”看到了与以前不一样的东西(something different)。exciting令人兴奋的；interesting有趣的；urgent紧急的。‎ 答案　A ‎18．A.for B．or C．so D．yet 解析　空前说到爸爸上了年纪，笑的时候眼角有皱纹了，空后又说他的微笑仍旧……，前后表示转折关系，故用yet连接。‎ 答案　D ‎19．A.convincing B．heartwarming C．cautious D．innocent 解析　联系上文可知，小时候“我”把梳子洗好递给爸爸时，他会充满爱意地(affectionately)朝“我”微笑，因此此处表示他的微笑还是那么暖人心房(heartwarming)。convincing有说服力的；cautious小心的，谨慎的；innocent无辜的，清白的。‎ 答案　B ‎20．A.origin B．life C．reputation D．education 解析　联系前文可知，以前爸爸所做的一切都是为了让家人有好的生活(life)，而不是出身(origin)、名声(reputation)或教育(education)。‎ 答案　B C ‎(2015·湖北)“Daily Star, sir，” called Jason, carrying some newspapers under his ‎ arm.The little boy had been running up and down the street, but there were still twenty__1__left.His voice was almost gone and his heart was__2__.The shops would soon close, and all the people would go home.He would have to go

lost the sale of twenty papers because he would not tell a lie, but got a wellpaid job because he told the truth.‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文是一篇夹叙夹议记叙文。Jason的报纸没有卖完，这让他离自己的愿望远了一步。另一个报童Chad教给他卖报纸的“秘诀”，但是Jason没有采纳。最后，他的诚实让自己获得了另外的工作机会。‎ ‎1．A.shops B．coins C．people D．papers 解析　根据第一段第一句中的“carrying some newspapers和后文中的carrying the papers__3__money”可知，这个男孩在卖“报纸(papers)”。虽然他很卖力，但是手中还有没卖出去的报纸。‎ 答案　D ‎2．A.open B．heavy C．pure D．weak 解析　根据上一句可知，他的报纸没有卖完。根据本句中的“His voice was almost gone”可知，这时候他几乎说不出话来了，内心应该很“沉重(heavy)”。open开放的；pure纯洁的；weak虚弱的。‎ 答案　B ‎3．A.instead of B．in return for C．regardless of D．in exchange for 解析　根据第一段第二、三句可知，他没能卖出所有的报纸，因此也就赚不到多少钱，那么他带回家的就是剩余的报纸，“而不是(instead of)”钱。in return for作为对……的回报；regardless of不管；in exchange for作为……的交换。‎ 答案　A ‎4．A.cup B．card C．comb D．cake 解析　根据第三段第二句中的“the cake he wanted to buy for his mother”可知，这个小男孩赚钱的目的之一是给妈妈买“蛋糕(cake)”。‎ 答案　D ‎5．A.gave in B．broke down C．got away D．showed up 解析　根据第一段前三句可知，这个男孩没有把报纸都卖出去。结合本句中的he thought of his failure可知，这时候这个小男孩简直就要“崩溃(broke down)”了。give in屈服；get away离开；show up出现。‎ 答案　B ‎6．A.difficulty B．process C．goal D．secret 解析　联系本空后面的You must shout...可知，另外一个卖报纸的男孩在向Jason传授卖出所有报纸的“秘诀(secret)”。difficulty困难；process 过程；goal 目标。‎ 答案　D ‎7．A.And B．But C．For D．So 解析　根据上一句可知，另外一个报童Chad给Jason出了一个主意，但是遭到了Jason的质疑。这里是转折关系，所以用连词but。‎ 答案　B ‎8．A.before B．since C．though D．unless 解析　在传授“秘诀”的时候，Chad告诉Jason在买报人看内容“之前(before)”就要跑掉，以免被发现撒谎。‎ 答案　A ‎9．A.call B．drop C．sell D．reach 解析　根据第一段最后一句中的sell all his papers和第二段第一句话中的selling papers可知，Chad在教Jason一个“卖光(sell out)”所有报纸的方法。‎ 答案　C ‎10．A.edition B．idea C．policy D．task 解析　联系第二段可知，Chad出的“主意(idea)”对于Jason来说很新颖。edition版本；policy政策；task任务。‎ 答案　B ‎11．A.bread B．insects C．seeds D．water 解析　由第一段倒数第三句中的“some seeds for his bird”可知，Jason想赚钱的另外一个目的是给自己的小鸟买种子，这时候他想到了家中没有“种子(seeds)”的小鸟。‎ 答案　C ‎12．A.concerned B．amazed C．excited D．determined 解析　根据第18空后的“You wouldn’t tell a lie yesterday”可知这个男孩“下定决心(was determined)”不通过撒谎的方式卖出更多的报纸。‎ 答案　D ‎13．A.still B．already C．just D．also 解析　联系空前的Though可知，本句是在强调尽管他“只是(just)”一个贫穷的报童，这里用just加强语气。‎ 答案　C ‎14．A.taught B．handed C．awarded D．allowed 解析　联系空后的“some good things”可知，Jason之所以能坚持不撒谎，是因为之前有人“教(taught)”给他一些美好的德行。hand交给；award授予；allow允许。‎ 答案　A ‎15．A.at once B．by chance C．as usual D．on purpose 解析　联系上文可知，Jason并没有像Chad那样做。第二天下午，他“像往常一样(as usual)”来取报纸。at once立刻；by chance偶然；on purpose故意。‎ 答案　C ‎16．A.proud B．gentle C．warm D．polite 解析　联系句中的“he sold six dozen the day before”可知，Chad用自己的方式卖出的报纸很多，所以他感到非常“骄傲(proud)”。gentle温和的；warm温暖的；polite有礼貌的。‎ 答案　A ‎17．A.borrowed B．lost C．made D．saved 解析　联系第一段的内容可知，Jason因为没有卖出所有的报纸而“赔(lost)”钱了。文章最后一段最后一句的lost也是解题线索。在Chad看来，这是因为Jason不会撒谎。borrow借；make赚(钱)；save节省。‎ 答案　B ‎18．A.laughed B．shouted C．nodded D．stared 解析　根据第四段第二句中的a__16__smile和Chad所说的话可知，这些男孩在“嘲笑(laughed at)”Jason。shout at朝……大声喊；nod at朝……点头；stare at盯着……看。‎ 答案　A ‎19．A.bravely B．gratefully C．fondly D．modestly 解析　根据后面的一句“You’re just the boy I am looking for.”可知，这个绅士正要找像Jason一样诚实的人。他找到之后，当然是“慈爱地(fondly)”拍拍Jason的肩膀。bravely勇敢地；gratefully感激地；modestly谦虚地。‎ 答案　C ‎20．A.duty B．business C．job D．method 解析　根据下一句中的got a wellpaid job可知，Jason因为自己的诚实而得到了一份新“工作(job)”。duty责任；business生意；method方法。‎ 答案　C
