weekends are too short，” try to think，“Im glad I rested over the weekend，so Im ready to make some improvement on that big project.”4.5._When someone is shouting at you angrily，throw the responsibility back at them by asking，“So what do you intend to do about it？” In most cases，plainers dont really want a solution.They just want to speak them out.If you make them aware that they themselves have to find the solutions，they will leave you alone and find someone else to plain to.If so，you will be happy.AFind solutions.BChange the responsibility.CYou have got a lot of plaints.DBy doing this，it will lead to positive behavior.EBut you can redirect the discussion in your own mind.FWhenever possible，escape from negative conversations.GYou will never know what they are going to talk about.答案：CDFEB.完形填空Dont let Auroras small stature (身高) fool youher spirit is strong.She is one of 140 chickens _1_ from a farm.When we saved her，she was tiny and sick and it seemed _2_ that she would survive.Having never got the right_3_，many of the chickens were sick and some _4_died.At a young age，Aurora and her sisters and brothers were _5_ by their mom.Luckily，another mother _6_ theircare.Aurora seemed the last to _7_ food and attention.She grew at a much slower _8_ than her brothers andsisters.Everything seemed _9_ her.At the young age of seven months，Aurora had lost twomoms and was _10_ to find a place with the other chickens.Aurora _11_ found fort from an old chicken named Margaret，staying under her wings during the cold nights，_12_ Margaret was so old that a few months later she died.Aurora，in her own way，thinks of Margaret.Every evening，you will find her in the _13_ spot where she kept Margaret pany._14_ when the other chickens try to _15_ her away，Aurora es back.As Aurora grew，we became _16_ at her love to simplylive.Nothing _17_ her.So remember，when life seems so _18_ that you canttake it，think of Aurora.She has lost two moms，watched hersisters and brothers die，and _19_ from serious illnesses.Yet she enjoys the small，sweet _20_ life has offeredsafety，food，warmth and good friendships.1A.raisedBpurchasedCrescuedDcollected2A.hopefulBproperCpossibleDunlikely3A.touch Bcare Cgift Dpartner4A.sadly BangrilyCcoldlyDcalmly5A.punished BrefusedCabandoned Dscolded6A.took on Bput forwardClooked after Dbrought about7A.get Beat Cdraw Doffer8A.cost Brate Cstandard Dvalue9A.for Baround Cabout Dagainst10A.arrangingBchoosingCstrugglingDaffording11A.lately BeventuallyCconstantly Dfrequently12A.unless Bso Cbecause Dbut13A.same BrelevantCsimilar Dnormal14A.Still BThusCEven DYet15A.clear Bput Cturn Dpush16A.nervous BamazedCexcited Ddisappointed17A.helped Battracted CimpressedDstopped18A.tough Bdifferent Csmooth Dboring19A.waked Bmade Crecovered Dlearned20A.chances BpleasuresCdreams Dservices【語篇解讀】本文描述了一只小雞為了生存與各種困難頑強抗?fàn)幍墓适隆?解析：選C。根據(jù)下文中的“When we saved her”的提示可知，她是被從農(nóng)場救出來的140只小雞中的一只。raise“提起，養(yǎng)育”；purchase“購買”；rescue“營救”；collect“收集”。2解析：選D。根據(jù)空前的“she was tiny and sick”可知，小雞生病了而且還很弱小，故此處是說她似乎不太可能活下來。hopeful“有希望的”；proper“恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?；possible“可能的”；unlikely“不大可能的”。3解析：選B。根據(jù)“many of the chickens were sick”可判斷出，因為沒有得到適當(dāng)?shù)恼疹?，很多小雞才會生病甚至一些不幸死亡。touch“觸摸”；care“照顧”；gift“禮物”；partner“搭檔”。4解析：選A。參見上題解析。sadly“不幸地”；angrily“憤怒地”；coldly“冷漠地”；calmly“平靜地”。5解析：選C。根據(jù)下文的“Luckily another mother”以及“Aurora had lost two moms”可以推斷，第一個母親遺棄了她和她的兄弟姐妹們。punish“懲罰”；refuse“拒絕”；abandon“遺棄”；scold“責(zé)罵”。6解析：選A。幸運的是，另外一個母親決定照顧他們。take on“決定做，承擔(dān)”；put forward“提出”；look after“照顧”；bring about“導(dǎo)致”。7解析：選A。根據(jù)下文“她比她的兄弟姐妹們長得慢”可知，此處是說她看起來是最后一個得到(get)食物和關(guān)心的。8解析：選B。根據(jù)本文第一句提到的“small stature(身高)”以及上一句提到的“l(fā)ast to _7_ food and attention”可以判斷，Aurora生長的速度慢于她的兄弟姐妹們，所以個子小。cost“成本”；rate“速度”；standard“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”；value“價值”。9解析：選D。根據(jù)上文的敘述可知，Aurora的生活不如意，因此一切似乎都在和她作對。against“逆，反對”，符合語境。10解析：選C。Aurora已經(jīng)失去了兩個媽媽，她需要努力找棲身之處。struggle“拼搏，努力”，符合語境。11解析：選B。此處與上一段相呼應(yīng)，她在努力尋找之后，終于(eventually)找到了安慰。12解析：選D。雖然找到了安身之處，可是Margaret因為年老而死去了。此空前后之間在意思上是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此選連詞but。13解析：選A。Aurora每天晚上都到同樣的地方去陪伴Margaret。此處用same表示她的執(zhí)著。same“同樣的”；relevant“有關(guān)的”；similar“類似的”；normal“正常的”。14解析：選C。甚至當(dāng)別的小雞推開她時，她會再回來。still“仍然”；thus“因此”；even“甚至”；yet“然而”。15解析：選D。參見上題解析。push away意為“推開”。16解析：選B。根據(jù)文章的第一句“Dont let Auroras small stature(身高)fool youher spirit is strong”可知，我們?yōu)锳urora只要活著的熱情而感到驚訝。nervous“緊張的”；amazed“驚奇的”；excited“興奮的，激動的”；disappointed“失望的”。17解析：選D。沒有什么能使她停下來。help“幫助”；attract“吸引”；impress“給留下深刻印象”；stop“停止”。18解析：選A。綜合上文，生活對于Aurora來說一直是艱難的，所以當(dāng)生活似乎很艱難時，你可以想想她的遭遇。tough“艱難的，棘手的”；different“不同的”；smooth“順利的”；boring“無趣的，乏味的”。19解析：選C。本句話的三個并列謂語都是Aurora的經(jīng)歷，所以選擇recovered與“from serious illnesses”搭配。20解析：選B。盡管嘗盡生活的艱辛，Aurora卻得到了生活給予她的簡單的甜蜜的樂趣，即后面所說的“safety，food，warmth and good friendships”。chance“機會”；pleasure“樂事”；dream“夢想”；service“服務(wù)”。.短文改錯Hi Thomas，How is everything with you recently?
