Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，完成圖表中所缺信息。

Christmas is one of the happiest times of the year. It’s time we spend with family members, giving gifts to each other and eating plenty of delicious food. However, at the same time it can also be a nervous time. You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents for everyone. You need to clean the rooms or even clear some of them out and put up the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. And you have to communicate with your friends and relatives whom you perhaps wouldn’t usually spend so much time with. So what can we do to deal with these things to enjoy the happy season to the fullest?

Usually, you have to face the busy shops to do your Christmas shopping during this holiday. That can make you stressed out. To stay calm (冷靜的) during this holiday, you can start your shopping early. In other words, you can buy presents for people before Christmas comes so that you can save yourself some money. What’s more, you can buy your presents on the Internet, which means that you can find anything you can think of, and you can do it in your living room. It’s much cheaper, so you can save money.

Did you once drink more than usual, eat cakes you didn’t want or do something else which leave you feeling tired? Remember that it’s your right to enjoy Christmas the way you want to and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you’re not being Christmassy.

Finally, you’d better have low expectations (期望). If your expectations are high, you will make yourself upset. Don’t let yourself be pressured (迫使) into making the Christmas perfect. So, just be satisfied to have a pleasant evening with your family and let what happens happen.

【答案】

【2】preparing

【3】wisely

【4】refuse

【5】avoid

【解析】

本文講述了圣誕節(jié)是一年中最快樂的時(shí)光之一，這是和家人在一起的時(shí)間，互相送禮物，吃很多美味的食物。然而，與此同時(shí)，它也可以是一個(gè)緊張的時(shí)間。人們得花很多時(shí)間和金錢為每個(gè)人計(jì)劃和購(gòu)買禮物。下面有一些方法來緩解壓力：在這個(gè)假期期間保持冷靜；學(xué)會(huì)拒絕和用自己的方式過節(jié)；不要期望太多來避免讓自己沮喪。

【1】根據(jù)“However, at the same time it can also be a nervous time.”及“That can make you stressed out. ”可知它是一個(gè)緊張的時(shí)間，那會(huì)讓你壓力很大，可推測(cè)出此處“壓力”，故答案為stress。

【2】根據(jù)“You have to spend much time and money planing and buying presents…whom you perhaps wouldn’t usually spend so much time with. ”可知為圣誕節(jié)準(zhǔn)備的事情，可推測(cè)出此處“準(zhǔn)備”，spend +time/money doing sth表示“花錢或時(shí)間做什么”，所以此處缺doing，故答案為preparing。

【3】根據(jù)“To stay calm (冷靜的) during this holiday, you can start your shopping early…so you can save money. ”假日期間要冷靜，可推測(cè)出此處買東西要理智，此處缺副詞修飾動(dòng)詞do，所以此處用“wisely”，故答案為wisely。

【4】根據(jù)“Remember that it’s your right to enjoy Christmas the way you want to and that you should take no notice of those who tell you that you’re not being Christmassy. ”記住，你有權(quán)利以你想要的方式享受圣誕節(jié)，你不應(yīng)該理會(huì)那些告訴你你沒有過圣誕節(jié)的人，可推測(cè)出此處“拒絕”，learn to do sth.學(xué)會(huì)做某事，故答案為refuse。

【5】根據(jù)“If your expectations are high, you will make yourself upset.”如果你的期望很高，你會(huì)讓自己沮喪，可推測(cè)出此處不要期望太多來避免讓自己沮喪，所以此處用“avoid”，不定式to后跟動(dòng)詞原形，故答案為avoid。
