It stood there, pawing(扒) the   14  and eyeing the young man. “ What the next   15   was like ? It had to be a better choice than this one,” he thought. He let the bull pass through again.
The door opened a third time. A   16    came across the young man’s face. This was the weakest bull that he had ever seen. “ This one was my bull,” he   17    to himself. As the bull came running by, he positioned himself just right and   18    at just the exact moment. He threw his hands to catch ...... But to his   19   , the bull had no tail.

試題分析:本文講述了一個農(nóng)夫父親要求年輕人抓住三頭公牛中任意一條尾巴作為許配女兒給他的條件,牛一頭頭過來,年輕人卻沒有抓住機(jī)會,最后一頭牛竟沒有尾巴,從而錯失良機(jī)。得出的啟示是:人生充滿著機(jī)遇,要總是抓住首先的機(jī)遇,不要錯失良機(jī)。
1.聯(lián)系上下文法。從下文 you can marry my daughter(原詞復(fù)現(xiàn))結(jié)合上一句中fell in love with the farmer’s beautiful daughter可知此處指年輕人希望娶農(nóng)夫的女兒。
2.聯(lián)系上下文法。前面提到年輕人希望娶農(nóng)夫的女兒,因而前往農(nóng)夫家請求農(nóng)夫的許可。ask permission請求許可。
3.聯(lián)系上下文法。從第二段stood in the field(原詞復(fù)現(xiàn))可知農(nóng)夫要求年輕人站在田野里。故選A
4.聯(lián)系上下文法。從下文中the tail of any one of the three bulls(原詞復(fù)現(xiàn))可得知農(nóng)夫說他會放出三頭公牛。
5.聯(lián)系上下文法。從倒數(shù)第二段He threw his hands to catch ...及最后一段catch the first one..(原詞復(fù)現(xiàn))可知農(nóng)夫讓年輕人抓三頭公牛中任何一頭的尾巴,一旦抓住就把女兒許配給他。
6.副詞辨析。A.Immediately立刻,馬上B.Quietly安靜地C.Finally最后,終于D. Proudly自豪地。根據(jù)語境,年輕人急切的想娶農(nóng)夫的女兒,自然會立馬按農(nóng)夫的要求去做,故選A
7.短語辨析。A.talking about談?wù),談到B. thinking of想起,認(rèn)為C.looking for尋找D.waiting for等待。句意:年輕人站在田里,等著公牛的到來。
8.邏輯推理法。從下文的out came the biggest bull及 the barn door opened again可推斷出牛棚被打開,故填opened。
9.動詞辨析。A. decided對…作出抉擇;決定;選定。根據(jù)語境他認(rèn)為下一頭牛是更好得選擇,這是他的決定,故選A。B. noticed注意到C. Suggested建議,暗示D.learned得知,獲悉,不合題意。
10.聯(lián)系上下文法。從下一段It had to be a better choice than this one(復(fù)現(xiàn))可知此處選choice
11.聯(lián)系上下文法。從下一段He let the bull pass through again可知此處選D
12.常識法。三頭牛同時在同一天放出,可以推斷出:幾分鐘后,另一頭公牛來了,而不是幾天,幾年或幾個月。
13. 從“had never seen ”及“ fierce ”可以推斷出第二出場的這頭牛又大又兇猛,故選B
14.第二出場的這頭牛趴在地上,注視著年輕人。故選C。A.house房子B. Wall墻壁D.door門,均與語境不符。
15.聯(lián)系上下文法。本文多次提到bull的信息。下一頭牛會是什么樣的呢?故選D。
16.從下一句This was the weakest bull that he had ever seen說明年輕抑制不住心中的喜悅,故選smile。
17.根據(jù)上一句“ This one was my bull,”推斷出這是年輕人他暗自思忖著,故選B
18.動詞辨析。他調(diào)整好他的位置然后在精準(zhǔn)的時刻跳過來抓(牛尾巴)故選A.而B.escaped躲避C. stopped停止D. shouted大聲喊,均不合題意
19.根據(jù)語境,此處意思是:使他驚訝的是,這頭牛沒有尾巴。
20.綜合全文,最后一句是文章的升華,即得到的啟示:人生充滿著機(jī)遇,要總是抓住首先的機(jī)遇,不要錯失良機(jī)。
考點(diǎn):人生百味類完形填空。
點(diǎn)評:本文講述了一個農(nóng)夫要求年輕人抓住三頭公牛中任意一條尾巴作為許配女兒給他的條件,年輕人卻沒有抓住機(jī)會,從而得出的啟示是:人生充滿著機(jī)遇,要總是抓住首先的機(jī)遇,不要錯失良機(jī)。文章富有哲理。而且不少題目是運(yùn)用聯(lián)系上下文的方法,所以要注意瞻前顧后,逐句細(xì)讀,根據(jù)上下文所提供的信息或社會及生活常識或邏輯推理判斷答案

For the last couple of weeks , I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me . My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead , I was feeling rather depressed . I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie,but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思) for a solution that the answer came to me : turn to nature!
The very next day , I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve , even though it was pouring with rain . Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again.To be honest . I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing , “I’m singing in the rain.”a song I used to sing when I was a child . I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制)our own spirits , which only leads to depression and stress.
Interestingly,it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking  in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels. But this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre .
If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors , relax completely , remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.
【小題1】The author felt depressed because she         .

A.couldn’t consume her waking hour
B.had not seen a film for a long time.
C.had not finished her work on time
D.had worked on a hard job for too long
【小題2】The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to      .
A.take photosB.find a solution to the project
C.hop along the pathD.cheer herself up
【小題3】The underlined part“to no avail” in Paragraph 1 probably means“          ”.
A.unsuccessfulB.unrelatedC.uninterestingD.unexpected
【小題4】In the author’s opinion,     .
A.a(chǎn) bath can make people relaxed
B.depression is usually caused by hard work
C.walking in a busy city centre harms people’s health
D.a(chǎn)dults should express their inner feelings freely
【小題5】The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n)      .
A.explanationB.suggestionC.introductionD.reminder

B
We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.
A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.
But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.
41.Some people can easily learn many things by heart because        
A.they always sleep very well           B.they often eat good food
C.they read a lot of books                 D.they have very good memories

43.Before a child can speak, he must                        .
A.read and write                              B.make sentences
C.hear and remember the sounds              D.think hard
