The power of nature一、閱讀理解。It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, dont worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesnt really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther Kings famous speech I Have a Dream, you may notice that he stumbles (結(jié)巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you dont remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of munication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating petition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speakers ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speakers attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, dont worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You dont remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you dont fully understand the speechC. you dont know what the speaker plans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.

I was in college _1_ my father passed away. I had another year in front of me in order to be called _2_ graduate. The trouble was that I could not concentrate _3_ my studies anymore. Whenever I tried to open my books to study, tears _4_ block my view. I just wanted to quit and stay at home to help my mother deal with the sorrow.At this time, I received his help through my fathers personal financial advisor. One evening, he visited us and asked about my studies. I told him I could not continue my college because I did not want to study anymore. He reminded me how my father _5_ (send) me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill my fathers dream _6_ did I want to be called a failure? I wept, _7_ (say) I did want to do what my dad wanted but I just couldnt study. He gave me all the _8_ (encourage) I needed to be able to carry on. His calming, gentle voice did wonders and I decided to study _9_ (far) and plete my graduation. I still remember this gentleman _10_ came to my rescue and helped me make the right decision.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇記敘文。在作者最頹廢的時(shí)候，一位好心人給他指明了前進(jìn)的道路，幫助他從失去父親的痛苦中走出來(lái)，繼續(xù)完成學(xué)業(yè)。1when考查狀語(yǔ)從句的連接詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，故用when，意為“當(dāng)時(shí)候”。2a考查冠詞。此處表泛指，表示“一名畢業(yè)生”，故用不定冠詞a。3on考查介詞。由句中的“concentrate”可知，應(yīng)填介詞on，構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)concentrate on . “專(zhuān)心于，把思想集中于”。4would考查情態(tài)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，此處指“每當(dāng)我試圖打開(kāi)書(shū)學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候，眼淚就會(huì)模糊我的視線(xiàn)”。would“總會(huì)”符合語(yǔ)境。5had sent考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。send是發(fā)生在reminded之前的動(dòng)作，表示“過(guò)去的過(guò)去”，故用過(guò)去完成時(shí)。6or考查連詞。or在句中連接了兩個(gè)疑問(wèn)句，前后兩個(gè)句子的意義相反，因此指在兩者之間的選擇。7saying考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞?！皊aying從句”在句中作伴隨狀語(yǔ)。主語(yǔ)I與say是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，且say和句子謂語(yǔ)wept表示的動(dòng)作幾乎同時(shí)發(fā)生，因此用現(xiàn)在分詞。8encouragement考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境及空前的“the”可知，應(yīng)用encourage的名詞形式encouragement。9further考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。由本句中的“plete my graduation”可知，作者會(huì)繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)下去，應(yīng)填表抽象意義的further “更進(jìn)一步地”。 10who/that考查定語(yǔ)從句的引導(dǎo)詞?？仗幰龑?dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，且在從句中作主語(yǔ)，先行詞是this gentleman，故用who/that。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way _1_ my uncles home.People on the street were walking leisurely and chatting _2_ ，while my father was walking in a hurry.I tried my best to _3_ him.But I was still left behind.I could not understand why he _4_ so fast.Due to the fast speed，I lost my _5_ and was pletely with sweat.Somehow，I began to be angry at him.He always did not think about my_6_.“Why do you walk so fast? Dont you see me behind you？”I said _7_.“You are always like this.Why must you _8_ so loudly？”he said and his face got red right away.In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and made him angry.“It is your _9_ ！”I shouted at him immediately.“You always like to _10_ others！”he cried out.This made me fall into a rage(憤怒)Then we _11_ on the street.Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time，I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.Many people stopped to look at us.I was so _12_ that I could feel my face burning，for I saw some people _13_ me，which made me lose face.I touched my face _14_ glared at him.“I will never talk to him，”I said to myself angrily._15_ could make people forget everything that your beloved had done for you.When I went to college，I still hated him.I did not say anything to him，_16_ I were not his daughter.Always I pretended to plain that I was too_17_ when he called me.However，it was his tears from the wornout_18_ that made me feel guilty when we met.He had given me everything he had，but I could not._19_ ，I realized that I should not hate him.Now I begin to phone him and ask him to take care of himself.Although sometimes parents will _20_ wrong，they just hope we can be better.1A.at BtoCfor Dof2A.perfectly BeagerlyCanxiously Denjoyably3A.make fun of Bcatch up withCmake way for Dget rid of4A.walked BranCstarted Dtrained5A.temper BconfidenceCbreath Dbalance6A.beliefs BbehaviorCfeelings Drequests7A.calmly BfrequentlyCsoftly Dloudly8A.tell BclaimCread Dspeak9A.fault BcrueltyCorigin Dbusiness10A.enjoy BadmireCblame Dabuse11A.fought BbargainedCconsulted Dquarreled12A.alarmed BafraidCashamed Damazed13A.asking for Blaughing atCwaiting for Daiming at14A.and BsoCbut Dor15A.Anger BSenseCCare DShame16A.in case Bas ifCunless Dafter17A.wrong BcrazyCbusy Dinnocent18A.arm BfaceChead Dbody19A.Naturally BOccasionallyCObviously DGradually20A.do BgiveCfind Dkeep【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】作者因一件小事和父親在大街上爭(zhēng)吵，致使自己顏面盡失，于是下定決心不再與父親說(shuō)話(huà)。但隨著歲月的流逝，作者意識(shí)到是憤怒讓自己忘記了自己最?lèi)?ài)的人為自己所做的一切，于是逐漸改變了自己對(duì)父親的態(tài)度。1B根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，作者與父親是在去叔叔家的路上。on the way to.意為“在去的路上”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。2D該句中while表示對(duì)比，意為“然而”。此處是說(shuō)作者和父親走得比較匆忙，而街上的其他人走得比較悠閑，邊走邊開(kāi)心地(enjoyably)聊著天。故選D項(xiàng)。perfectly意為“完美地”；eagerly意為“急切地”；anxiously意為“焦慮地”。3B從下文的I was still left behind可知，父親走得很快，作者試圖趕上他，但是仍然被落在了后面。catch up with意為“趕上”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。make fun of意為“取笑”；make way for意為“給讓路”；get rid of意為“擺脫；除去”。4A根據(jù)第二段開(kāi)頭的Why do you walk so fast？可知，此處指作者不知道為什么父親走(walked)得那么快。故選A項(xiàng)。5C根據(jù)空后的pletely with sweat可知，由于走得太快，作者氣喘吁吁、汗流浹背。lose ones breath意為“喘不過(guò)氣來(lái)”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選C項(xiàng)。temper意為“脾氣”；confidence意為“信心”；balance意為“平衡”。6C根據(jù)上文中的I began to be angry at him可知，作者對(duì)父親很生氣，認(rèn)為他根本不考慮作者的感受(feelings)。故選C項(xiàng)。belief意為“信念”；behavior意為“行為；舉止”；request意為“請(qǐng)求；要求”。7D上文提到作者很生氣，所以說(shuō)話(huà)的聲音應(yīng)該是很大的。根據(jù)第8空后的so loudly也可知答案。故選D項(xiàng)。calmly意為“平靜地”； frequently意為“頻繁地”；softly意為“溫柔地”。8D根據(jù)下文的In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and.可知，此處指父親埋怨作者說(shuō)話(huà)聲音大。故選D項(xiàng)。9A作者責(zé)怪父親走太快，自己跟不上，因此，此處指作者認(rèn)為這都是父親的過(guò)錯(cuò)(fault)。故選A項(xiàng)。cruelty意為“殘忍”；origin意為“起源”；business意為“事情；商業(yè)”。10C作者在埋怨父親，而此時(shí)父親也非常生氣。因此，父親在說(shuō)作者總是責(zé)備(blame)別人。故選C項(xiàng)。enjoy意為“喜歡”；admire意為“欣賞”；abuse意為“虐待；濫用”。11D根據(jù)下文Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time, I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.可知，作者大發(fā)脾氣，與父親在大街上吵了起來(lái)，所以選quarreled，意為“爭(zhēng)吵”。fight意為“打架”；bargain意為“討價(jià)還價(jià)”；consult意為“咨詢(xún)”。12C根據(jù)空后的I could feel my face burning可知，和父親吵架引來(lái)很多路人駐足觀看，作者感覺(jué)自己的臉滾燙，因此可推斷，作者感到羞愧(ashamed)。alarmed意為“擔(dān)憂(yōu)的；恐慌的”；afraid意為“害怕的”；amazed意為“驚奇的”。13B由空后的made me lose face可知，作者覺(jué)得很丟人，因?yàn)榭吹铰啡嗽诔靶λ?。laugh at意為“嘲笑”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。ask for意為“請(qǐng)求；要求”；wait for意為“等待”；aim at意為“針對(duì)；以為目標(biāo)”。14A句意為：我摸了摸我的臉，怒視著他。touched和glared是作者先后做的兩個(gè)并列的動(dòng)作，所以用and連接。15A文中反復(fù)提到angry，通過(guò)對(duì)與父親吵架的描述可知，此處指生氣能讓人忘記你所愛(ài)的人為你做的一切。故選A項(xiàng)。16B設(shè)空后的I were not his daughter為虛擬語(yǔ)氣，作者因怒生恨，吵架后不與父親說(shuō)話(huà)，就好像自己不是父親的女兒似的。as if意為“好像”，符合語(yǔ)境。in case意為“以防”；unless意為“除非”；after意為“在之后”。17C父親每次打電話(huà)時(shí)，作者總是抱怨太忙。busy意為“忙碌的”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選C項(xiàng)。wrong意為“錯(cuò)誤的”；crazy意為“瘋狂的”；innocent意為“無(wú)辜的”。18B眼淚應(yīng)該是從臉上流下來(lái)，所以選face。句意為：但是，當(dāng)我們見(jiàn)面時(shí)，父親那飽經(jīng)滄桑的臉上流下的淚水使我感到內(nèi)疚。19D根據(jù)空后的I realized that I should not hate him可知，作者越來(lái)越理解父親，認(rèn)識(shí)到不應(yīng)該再恨父親，此處強(qiáng)調(diào)的是一個(gè)心理逐漸變化的過(guò)程。gradually意為“慢慢地；逐漸地”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選D項(xiàng)。naturally意為“自然地”occasionally意為“偶然”；obviously意為“明顯地”。20A盡管有時(shí)候父母會(huì)做錯(cuò)事，但是他們希望我們能更好。此處指可能會(huì)做錯(cuò)事，所以選A項(xiàng)。四、短文改錯(cuò)。Today is Sunday. I was very happy because a special experience. On my way home from school, I find a little dog on the roadside. It was so lovely and poor that I liked it immediate. But it was a little dirty and it seemed that it couldnt see something. I took it home. Besides, my mother didnt like it. She asked me to give a dog to someone else. At that time, got an idea, Dad said, “You can send it to your grandma. She always like animals.” I was very happy. My father and I took the little dog to my grandmas. She was so surprising to see the little poor dog. And she gave to us a promise that she would look after it well. I was very happy because I saved a little dog.答案：Today is Sunday.

And she gave us a promise that she would look after it well. I was very happy because I saved a little dog.難項(xiàng)分析：第四處：somethinganything考查不定代詞。在否定句中，一般用anything，故改為anything。第五處：BesidesHowever考查副詞。besides“此外”，表達(dá)遞進(jìn)關(guān)系。而此處為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用副詞however。第七處：gotgetting考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，get與其邏輯主語(yǔ)Dad之間是主謂關(guān)系，且get an idea和句子謂語(yǔ)said所表示的動(dòng)作幾乎同時(shí)發(fā)生，故用現(xiàn)在分詞。五、七選五。
