11.Many books have been written about"the art of giving".But what about the art of receiving?Sometimes,receiving a gift can be difficult,e(81)specially when someone buys you a gift you don't want!
"I remember when I was about twelve years old,my parents b(82)ought me a purple purse,"laughs Guo Xiaojing."It really made me feel embarrassed (尴尬),because I thought the purse was really ugly!Still,I pretended (假装) that I l(83)iked it because I knew it would make my parents happy!"
Han Ling a(84)grees."That sounds like my grandparents!A few years ago,my grandparents gave me an orange sweater for my birthday.I used to wear it every time I visited t(85)hem,but when I left their house,I took it off!Of course,this made me feel sorry.It was a very nice thought,but my grandparents have different t(86)oughts from me!I think it's hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people."
To make things easier,some people would rather just give money.In some cultures,
h(87)owever,receiving money can make people uncomfortable."When someone gives me money,it just makes me think they're being lazy,"says John Wilson."In England,we have a saying:It's the thought that counts.If someone gives me money,I feel they don't think at
a(88)ll.I prefer to receive a gift that has some thoughts b(89)ehind it.I don't mind if it's something I don't need.If someone has thought about a gift for me,it always makes me happy."
Different people have very different thoughts on this subject!So maybe the art of receiving is e(90)ven more difficult than the art of giving!What do you think?

分析 文章大意:本文讲述了许多书里会写给予的艺术,但其实接受也需要艺术,有时接受一个礼物也是一件难事,特别是有人买了你不想要的礼物时,但还是要假装喜欢,因为怕伤了送礼人的心,所以有的人为了方便,干脆送钱,但这会让人不舒服,很多人觉得当别人买礼物,至少用了心去想的,但直接送钱就会让人觉得他们很懒.每个人都有不同的看法,所以接受的艺术比给予的艺术更难.

解答 81.especially 考查副词与对语境的理解.分析语境可知when someone buys you a gift you don't want是对receiving a gift can be difficult情况的特别补充,表示特别是当有人给你买了你不想要的礼物时,用especially表示特别是.
82.bought 考查动词与时态.由I thought the purse was really ugly可知此处表示我的父母给我买了一个紫色的钱包,由when I was about twelve years old可知时态是一般过去时,填buy的过去式.
83.liked 考查动词与时态.由because I knew it would make my parents happy可知此处表示我假装我喜欢它,用pretended可知时态是一般过去时,填like的过去式.
84.agrees 考查动词与时态.由That sounds like my grandparents可知此处表示韩灵赞同,用agree表示赞同,此处仅表示她赞同这一客观事实,要用一般现在时,主语Han Ling是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词要填agree的三单形式.
85.them 考查代词.分析语境可知空格处指的是Han Ling's grandparents,前面已经出现过,可用代词来表示,此处作宾语,所以要用they的宾格形式them来表示.
86.thoughts 考查名词与对语境的理解.由but可知此处表示但我的祖父母与我有不同的想法,用thought表示想法,它是可数名词,有different修饰要用复数形式.
87.however 考查副词与对语境的理解.分析语境可知receiving money can make people uncomfortable与some people would rather just give money间是转折关系,有逗号,可用副词however表示然而.
88.all 考查固定搭配.not at all表示一点也不,根本不.此处表示我觉得他们根本没有去思考,填all即可.
89.behind 考查介词与对语境的理解.结合语境可知此处表示我更喜欢接受它背后有着想法的礼物,用behind表示在…后.
90.even 考查副词与对语境的理解.more difficult是形容词的比较级,结合首字母可联想到填even,它修饰形容词的比较级,此处表示所以也许接受的艺术甚至比给予的艺术还难.

点评 考查对文章大意的理解和平时词汇量的积累,此类题需要结合语境和首字母来联想出正确的单词,并注意词形的变化.
