他的朋友们都有自行车了,每当和他们出去时他总是觉得很难堪,因为他是唯一一个没有自行车的人。他在想到底应该怎么办。他的父母也没有余钱可以给他买自行车,所以向父母要钱是没有意义的。
现在只有一个办法了,那就是自己去赚。他应该去找份工作,但是又有谁会雇他呢?他又能做什么呢?他决定去问问克莱先生,因为他总是对很多事情都有自己的见解。
“好的,你可以从这里开始。”克莱先生说道,“我的窗户需要清理,我的车也需要有人来洗。”

有一天詹姆斯数钱时发现他终于攒够94.32美元了。他一刻也没有耽误,直接去了自行车商店,选了一辆自己喜欢的车。他很骄傲地骑了回去,想要跟朋友们炫耀自己的新车。打工挣钱很辛苦,但是詹姆斯知道他会很珍惜这辆自行车的,因为那是用自己挣的钱买来的。他最终成功地实现了自己本来觉得不可能的愿望,而这比他的自行车的价值要大得多。

当我进入伯克利大学的时候,得到奖学金是我最大的愿望。作为一个成绩一直很优秀的学生,我自信能够应付那些复杂的科目并且学有所成,简恩教授负责的世界文学就是这些科目之一,我对他在课上提出的观点非常感兴趣。
第一次考试过后,我诧异地发现我只得了77分C+的成绩,因为英文一向是我最好的科目。我跑去找简恩教授理论,他平静地听完了我的意见,但是不为所动。
我决定加倍努力,虽然我不知道这样做有什么意义,因为学习对于我来说一直不是什么难事。我更加仔细地读书,却换回了第二个77分的成绩。我再次向简恩教授提出质疑,他还是耐心地听完了我的意见,仍然不为所动。
在期末考试前还有一次考试,这也是一个提高成绩的机会,所以我投入了比以前更多的精力,并且第一次明白了什么叫做“全身心投入”。但是我的努力一无所获,一切照旧。
终于要面对期末考试这个最后的障碍了。无论我得到什么样的成绩,也不能改变我三个C+的现实,奖学金正在与我渐行渐远。
我不再继续拼命学习了,我觉得那些学习材料我已经熟悉得不能再熟悉了。在期末考试前一天晚上,我甚至去看了场电影。考试的时候我决定,这次考试就随便考着玩吧。
一周之后,我惊喜地发现我得到了A的成绩。于是我立刻跑去找简恩教授,他似乎早就知道我要去找他。“如果我如你所愿的给了你那些A的成绩,你就不会继续努力学习了。”
我盯着他,并且意识到他的分析和策略是完全正确的。我从来没有像这样拼命学习过。
当我看到我的科目成绩是A+的时候,我哑口无言。这也是唯一的一个A+。第二年我如愿以偿地得到了奖学金,而简恩教授的教诲一直长驻我心:只有你自己才能为自己制定优秀的标准。

二.完形考点分析
词汇的准确性、上下文逻辑关系、语义的衔接、惯用搭配和语法知识的掌握。
1.词汇的准确性(见上16,18,19,21,26,31,34,35题)
众所周知,在完形填空中,词汇的霸主地位依旧不可撼动。一般而言,词汇考察部分分为基本词义与近义辨析两个部分。前者考察的主要是考生能否识别选项中的单词意思与用法,因此出现的考察选项往往并非较为常见,或者以较为常见单词中不是很较为常见的意思进行考察。后者考察的难度要更高一些,立足于将意思较为相近的四个选项,或者虽然意思并非相近但容易让人误以为意思相近的选项,给考生进行辨析,一方面,考生需要结合上下文找出所要填充选项的单词大致意思,另一方面,考生更要从意思相近的选项之中筛选出所真正要的正确选项,困难可以说是很大,这一能力的提高往往需要大量的相关题目进行良好的训练。
2.上下文逻辑关系
英语文章强调句与句、段与段之间的逻辑性和流畅性,强调句句相联、段段相接。用于加强句与句之间连贯性的方法不少,但最常用的方法是使用过渡词和代词。
3.惯用搭配(见上17题)
固定搭配作为很直观的考查点,具有自己很明显的特点,即在对于某一固定搭配的考察之中,对于认识和掌握这一固定搭配的人来说,固定搭配非常简单易选,但对于不熟悉这一固定搭配的考生来讲,往往很难凭借既有英语基础做出正确推断。所以对于体系庞大的固定搭配的重复不断记忆往往变成这一部分备考的突破点所在。
4.语法知识的掌握(见上25题)
现在的全国研究生入学考试去掉了“结构与词汇”部分。学生可能认为不必再学语法了。这是一种误解。语法知识在理解英文的过程中起着至关重要的作用,在帮助高考理解上下文的内容和逻辑关系方面也是非常必要的。
5.篇章的一致性和连贯性方面(见上22,23,24,27,28,29,30,32,33题)
考题的一大重点是语义的衔接,要求考生在选择正确答案时,不但要考虑四个选项意义、用法上的区别,还要分析上下文中的语义关系,使所选答案与上下文紧密相连,符合语境。与其他英语试卷中的单句词汇题不同,有些题目具体做法单句看,似乎有不止一个答案是正确的,但结合上下文,只有一个答案符合语义的要求。
三.完形特点
1.从所选文章的角度
体裁上,以叙为主,叙议结合。高考完形填空题的选材多为具有一定故事情节的记叙文或是叙议结合、以叙为主、富有哲理的论说文,这是和高考考生的语言水平紧密结合的。高考是各级各类英语测试中相对较简单的一种,因而采取了常见体裁中较简单的记叙文作为题目载体。因此,短文一般按照时间线索行文,内部逻辑清晰层次分明。
题材上,选用真实世界中的语言材料,考查考生使用语言进行信息获取和社会交际的能力,对心理问题、校园生活、奇闻轶事等热点话题继续关注,并兼顾高考的公平性原则,不涉及特定地域或人群色彩较浓的不具有一般性的话题。
难度上,基本与现行高三教材相当。字数上,完形填空短文词数在240——320之间。
2.从所挖空格的角度
首先,该题型所选短文一般无标题,但首句通常不设空,目的是让考生熟悉语言环境,迅速进入主题,对文章有宏观和整体性的把握,建立正确的思维导向。正文中通常挖去20个词(组),平均每14词挖一个空格,通常不会出现两个空格前后相连或同一句子挖空超过三个的情况。
其次,挖去的词汇以实词为主,虚词为辅。语言分为形式和内容两方面,而完形填空题多重视考查语言的内容,这是与承载具体信息的实词紧密相关的。在高考对具体语法规则不断淡化的趋势下,常与语言形式即具体语法条目相关的虚词数量不断下降,目前仅在3个空格左右。
最后,具体挖空的时候遵循“重复原则”,即挖去的词通常都在保留的上下文中给出解题的线索。并且,某特定空格的解题线索多不在本空格所在的句子,或上一句或下一句,或上几句或下几句,所以我们在考场上应逾越空格所在的单句,结合更宏观的上下文来解题。
3.从所拟选项的角度
同一空格所对应的四个选项一般是同一词性,或在句子中充当同样的语法成分,这个拟选项时所应遵循的最基本的原则。在完形填空题中,具体的语法规则不再是考查重点,更强调的是辨别词语之间的细微差异,考查考生对上下文的理解,要求考生通过具体的语言环境来做出选择。所以,所拟出的四个选项往往在语法方面都能成立,错误选项多半可以和空前、空后的文字形成某种考生非常熟悉的固定搭配,具有很强的干扰和迷惑作用。针对这种情况,考生们在解题过程中就更要紧抓文章主线,站在语篇的高度综合处理各选项的取舍。
四.应对方法
本小组认为,提高高考完形题目的准确率应从以下几个方面着手。
1.语感的培养
首先,不承认语感的存在,否定语感在完形解题过程中的作用是不客观的。既然语感对解题可以形成有益的帮助,我们就要想方设法提高自己的语感。但是感觉这个东西说起来虚无缥缈,如何培养和提高呢?语法可以分成句法和词法两部分,受此启发,我们也将语感这个东西一分为二,拆开变成句感和词感。
文章可以看成纵横两个维度构成的,单句内部各成分有着横向的联系,而不同句子中各相同词性的词之间也有某种纵向的联系,这两类联系正好是对应句感和词感。所谓句感,可以通过梳理并分析句子内部不同成分的之间的关系来提高:把完形文章中各个句子独立出来,进行详细的语法分析,体会不同成分之间的相关性,进而对各成份如何构成句子有所把握;所谓词感,可以通过寻找并揣摩文章中各个句子之间相同词性的单词之间的联系来提高:把完形语段中所有已知和未知的同词性词汇找出来,体会他们的共性特点,进而对整个一类词都有所感悟。也就是说,在练习的时候,只要坚持对每种词性的单词,对每种结构的句子都进行细致的分析和思考,语感就会有与日俱增的提高。
2.规律的总结
纵观历年各地英语高考完形填空真题,会发现有些词汇和语法点是命题组所特别偏爱的,例如名词里的voice,形容词里的surprise,副词里的again,动词里的continue,经常出现在选项之中,且多为正确项;而与之相对的,有些例如一些基本名词则几乎不会在试卷中出现。这说明,词汇表中几千单词并不是都同等重要,都要一一掌握详细的意思和用法的。总有一些单词是命题组偏爱的,总有一些是经常出现在高考试卷上的。如果我们在备考的时候能知道哪些词是经常出现的,对其额外的多加操练,就提高了备考的效率,无形节约了时间,为自己增加了竞争力。那么,那些词是命题人常用惯用的词呢,又有谁知道呢?
其实很简单,历年真题就是一个非常好的样本。高考真题是考试大纲和考试说明最真实的体现和最权威的诠释。通过对历年真题的观察、归纳和总结,我们就能够看到一些共性的现象,而这就是所谓的规律。很多同学总是很迷信什么类似“三长一短选一短,三短一长选一长,两长两短蒙C项”的所谓的“规律”,其实如果自己开动脑筋,也可以自己从历年真题中找到一些规律的。怎么找呢,你把历年真题翻来覆去地看熟读透,然后把一些近似的题目归纳到一起,把具体的微观的差异都忽略掉,找出一些抽象的宏观的共同现象,这不就是规律么。真正会学习的人要学会自己去寻找规律,而自己总结出来的规律是最有效也最有说服力的。真正的强者要善于向内寻求力量。
3.省力的捷径
背诵,是最好的最有效的解决方案。完形填空的文字因为其内部有复杂的关系、精妙的结构、地道的表达,是高考试卷中最有价值的语篇,远比很多同学背诵的《新概念》更有效率和针对性。在没有时间和水平充分开发真题价值的时候,背诵不失为一个很好的选择。
如果能把这数十几套真题或从中挑选出二十篇左右的语段背下来,完形填空对你来说将不再是什么困难或障碍。而且,从真实语段中积累的词汇、句型都能够在潜移默化中变成自己的语言知识和技能,在再次面对完形的时候能够从容不迫游刃有余,而且在书面表达的时候更能给自己提供源源不断的灵感和原材料。

A
How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals.However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats(栖息地).Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim(声称)to educate people and save endangered species(物种), but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty.Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区).The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages.Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered.Captive breeding(圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted n their being sent back to the wild.Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out.In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers.Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them.Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.64.How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
A.Dangerous.B.Unhappy.C.Natural.D.Easy.A.remain in cagesB.behave strangely
C.attack other animalsD.enjoy moving around
66.What does the author try to argue n the passage?
A.Zoos are not worth the public support.B.Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C.Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D.Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.67.The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _____.A.pointing out the faults in what zoos doB.using evidence he has collected at zoos
C.questioning the way animals are protected D.discussing the advantages of natural habitats
68.Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.A.zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB.most animals in zoos are endangered species
C.some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D.it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats

Of all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed.It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything.Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的)dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems.We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for.Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections.For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature;foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough.Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地)connected in some way with the things symbolized.69.Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ______.A.have made use of language for centuriesB.use our nervous systems to support language

A.try very hard B.take our time C.are very unhappy D.feel especially painful
72.The example of the little boy is used to show that _____.A.adults often learn from their youngB.“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C.words are not connected with the things they stand for
D.people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works

Everyone’s at it , even my neighbors.I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal.So, I decided to try my hand at online auction(网上拍卖).Buying for beginners: Sign up on www.xiexiebang.computers, and books)ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description;others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price.You can buy these right away.If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids(出价)for you.The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again.Auctions last up to 10 days and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card(信用卡).Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item.I followed my friends' advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starring on a Thursday.This way buyers had two weekends to bid.The big things in life: It' s easy to post a small item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen.Cheek the ways of delivery before you bid.36.What is the passage mainly about?

38.The easiest way of making payment mentioned in the passage is.A.through an online payment system
C.by sending the money to the sellerB.through a local banking system D.by paying the deliveryman directly
1.答案 64.B65.B66.A67.A68.C
解析:
64.这是一道细节推断题。第四段“Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bar,and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth,a sign of unhappiness and pain.” 说明在动物园的动物不幸福。
65.这是一道细节推断题。根据上文中的unusual和self-destructive可推断出动物在动物园饲养的情况下行为不正常。
66.这是一道细节推断题。根据最后一句话“Instead of supporting zoos,we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.”可判断出作者不赞成公众支持动物园。
67.这是一道主旨题。作者在这篇短文中主要指出了动物园的各种弊端,来说服读者接受他的观点。
68.根据倒数第二段的内容可判断出作者虽然反对动物园,但他仍然同意动物园不得不把动物保持在很小的空间内。
2,答案 69.D70.B71.A72.D
解析:
69.这是一道细节推断题。根据第一段“It has been pointed out that human beings,by agreement,can make anything stand for anything.”可推断出人们发出的各种噪音代表着任何一种活动。
70.这是一道主旨题。第二段“so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in”可知,我们的文化决定了某一种系统代表着什么。
71.这是一道猜测词义题。根据上文中“they are actually not so obvious as they seem except”可猜测出take special pains的意思是“努力尝试”。
72.这是一道主旨题。根据最后一段的内容可知,作者举小孩的例子说明人们有时对语言的作用产生误解。
3.答案 36.D 37.C 38.A
36.解析:这是一道主旨题。这篇短文主要讲述了如何进行网上拍卖。
37.解析:这是一道细节推断题。根据第二段“The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid,then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again.”可判断出当出价后,买者有机会再出高价。
38.解析:这是一道细节题。从How to pay中的“The easiest way is through PayPal,an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.”可知,在网上付款最方便的方法是通过网上付款系统。
