    【文章大意】本文介绍一位残疾人在热心人的帮助下重新开始自己心爱的歌唱事业的情感故事。
    小题1:由下文disability pension (残疾抚恤金）可知作者是一个残疾人。选sickness。
    小题2:由文章知道作者热爱唱歌，所以选enjoyed。
    小题3:由下文可知I live with my mother on a country farm .形成转折，作者残疾了。当然是Unfortunately。
    小题4:现在作者和他的母亲住在一个农场了。
    小题5:作者残疾了，决定做额外的工作来弥补残疾补偿金的不足。
    小题6:考查连词。as引导时间状语从句。当……时候。
    小题7:因为作者要睡觉，所以找的工作的机会就少了。
    小题8:因为工作机会少，作者原先在饭店唱歌，现在他想返回去唱歌挣钱。
    小题9:因为我的家庭都是音乐人，作者本身带有音乐人的那些特指，当作者去当地的音乐商店，就被认出来了是音乐人。
    小题10:属于AandB法，这是并列结构，要求前后词性与词义要相似，几乎在每年的高考完形中都会考查这个知识点。本题and之前说东西很贵，之后理应推出没有足够的钱，故选A.money。
    小题11:属于反义多一对，即四个选项中有一组反义词，答案多在这组反义词中出现。此题C和D构成反义结构，根据文章信息，故选D.often。
    小题12:属于中文代入法，实际上一张光盘里的十首歌也只有三/四首可以用，故选A.actually。
    小题13:属于上文提示法，上文中作者有提到过想再次唱歌的这个想法，故选C.idea。
    小题14:属于同义辨析法，此考查点多在四级考试完形填空部分中出现，在2008年高考英语浙江卷第26题也曾考查过，当年的难度系数约为0.32。此题中的B.view强调的是眺望风景，C.look强调看的眼神，D.sight强调视力，本文店主深深地看了作者，属于眼神之间的交流，故选C.look。
    小题15:属于固定搭配法，店主带领作者穿过拥挤的店铺，从空间穿过，故选D.through。
    小题16:属于感情色彩法，此法多用于解决形容词或副词。下文出现treasure，因此可以推出店主对自己的宝物爱不释手，心爱地触摸，故选B.lovingly。
    小题17:属于固定搭配法，takeyourpick，美国俚语，随你挑选的意思，故选A.pick。
    小题18:属于语法识别法，近几年高考完形填空部分逐步淡化语法点考查，一般只会涉及一道。C.shouldhavecried,本应该做的事情而没有做，放在原文中过于牵强，而本题是作者受到店主的感激，非常感动，本可以哭但没有哭，故选D.couldhavecried。
    小题19:属于寻找重复法，31题与32题之前曾出现onlythreetofoursongs...canuse，对应...couldsing,故选B.theones。
    小题20:属于主旨概况法，即所选选项要与原文中心相一致。本文详细描述店主对作者的帮助，店主的善举感动作者，故选C.kindness。

    A Full-Time School Called Life
    You are enrolled in a full-time school called “life”. Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to learn lessons. You may like the lessons or hate them, but you have designed them as part of your curriculum.
    Why are you here? What is your purpose? Humans have sought to discover the meaning of life for a very long time. What we and our ancestors overlooked, however, is there is no one answer. The meaning of life is different for every individual.
    Each person has his or her own purpose and distinct path, unique and separate from anyone else’s. As you travel your life path, you will be presented with numerous lessons that you will need to learn in order to fulfill that purpose. The lessons you are presented with are specific to you; learning these lessons is a key to discovering and fulfilling the meaning and connection of your own life.
    As you travel through your lifetime, you may encounter challenging lessons that others don’t have to face, while others spend years struggling with challenges that you don’t need to deal with. You may never know why you are blessed with a wonderful marriage, while your friends suffer through bitter arguments and painful divorces, just as you cannot be sure why you struggle financially while your peers enjoy abundance. The only thing you can count on for certain is that you specifically need to learn; whether we choose to learn them or not is entirely up to you.
    The challenge here, therefore , is to align（与…保持一致）yourself with your own unique path by learning individual lessons. This is one of the most difficult challenges you will be faced with in your lifetime, as sometimes your path will be completely different from others. But, remember, don’t compare your path to the people around you and focus on the difference between their lessons and yours. You need to remember that you will only be faced with lessons that you are capable of learning and are specific to your own growth.
    Our sense of fairness is the expectation of equity—the assumption that all things are equal and that justice will always prevail. Life is not, in fact, fair, and you may indeed have a more difficult lift path than others around you, deserved or not. Everyone’s circumstances are unique, and everyone needs to handle his or her own circumstances differently. If you want to move toward calm, you will be required to move out the comparing phrase of “it’s not fair”. Focusing on the unfairness of circumstances keeps you comparing yourself with others rather than appreciating your own special uniqueness. You miss out on learning your individual lessons by distracting yourself with feeling of bitterness and anger.
    小题1:.According to the passage, how can the meaning of your life be realized?
    A．Having the same opinions as others.
    B．Taking the distinct path from others.
    C．Learning the lessons presented to you.
    D．Doing the different things from others.
    小题2:. From the passage we can conclude ______.
    A．everyone has his own track to follow
    B．the same thing usually happen to the peers
    C．a painful divorce must lie in financial problems
    D．a wealthy man must have a wonderful marriage
    小题3:. In your lifetimes, the lessons you are faced with ______.
    A．are beyond your powerB．keep you from growth
    C．limit your developmentD．help you with your success
    小题4:. Which of the following is TRUE?
    A．All things are equal and justice will always prevail.
    B．You should learn to appreciate your specific uniqueness.
    C．One has to fix his mind on unfairness of circumstances.
    D．The teachers have designed the lessons as part of your curriculum in the life school..
    小题5:. Life is called a full-time school, because ______.
    A．it is full of all lessons to learn
    B．you have plenty of time to learn lessons
    C．you meet with specific lessons every day
    D．there are so many subjects for you to choose

    For many years, I was convinced that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
    Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize（梦想）about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
    But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self–worth, and, of course, love.
    It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us work hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.

    A．The author is a Samoan
    B．The author succeeded in losing weight
    C．The author has been troubled by her/his weight.
    D．The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.

    A．They feel angry about the regained weight

    Count Me Out
    Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
    I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
    Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?
    There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
    And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
    If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
