试题分析:本文是议论文,文章把人们应如何把握好自己的人生跟在公路上开车做了巧妙对比,生动形象,浅显易懂。作者开门见山地点明了要论述的问题。然后用类比的手法分析论证自己的观点。
小题1:考查名词及上下文的呼应。seat 座位; condition 条件; petrol 汽油;      passenger乘客。开车前首先检查车的"状况",正如人们关心自己的健康一样。其他选项表示的意义都太片面。故选B。
小题2:考查动词及上下文的呼应。listen to听; find 找到; follow遵守;insist on 坚持;follow ...rules "遵守……规则"。当然在高速公路上应遵循交通规则,故选C 。    
小题3:考查名词及上下文的呼应。society社会; school学校; group团体;highway 高速公路。由常识可知, 人们要生活得好,必须遵守"社会"准则。故选A。
小题4:考查动词及上下文的呼应。glad高兴的; required必须的;made制造的;       anxious担忧的。require sb. to do sth.(要求某人做……), 被动语态为be required to do sth。故选B。             
小题5:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。broken 破碎的; outdoor 户外的; good好的;        continuous连续的。与前文的constant形成对照,人一生 "连续不断"的活动正像在高速路上连续不断的开车。故选D。
小题6:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。large 大的; high 高的,速度快的;         limited 有限的; expected预期的。由后面的too slow可知,人们无论是开车还是生活都要保持适当的速度,不能太"快",也不能太慢。故选B。
小题7:考查副词及上下文的呼应。speedily 快速地; slowly 慢慢地; orderly 依次地; willingly乐意地。由后面遭到"罚款"可知,此处是车速"太快(speedily)"。故选A。
小题8:考查动名词及上下文的呼应。doing做; acting 行为; going 走; working工作。此处指人们如果"行为"太保守,就会影响他人。故选B。
小题9:考查非谓语动词及上下文的呼应。persuading说服; getting 获得;interrupting 打断; refusing拒绝。生活中"行为 (acting)"过于保守就会落伍,就像开车太慢也会"阻止、中断(interrupting)"别人的行程一样。故选C 。
小题10:考查名词及上下文的呼应。notice通知; attention 注意力;signs 标志;         regards问候。开车时,人们必须集中"注意力",看好每一个方向。故用give careful attention,故选 B 。       
小题11:考查形容词及上下文的呼应。dangerous危险的; worthy 值得的; unfit 不合适的; troublesome讨厌的。在生活中,有时随便改变方向是"危险的"。故选A。
小题12:考查连词及上下文的呼应。if 如果; when当……时候;unless除非; because因为。开车要换车道时,须"小心、注意(give careful attention to)"车的方向,正如人生要改变目标时一样是"危险的","除非"有把握。故选C。              
小题13:考查情态动词及上下文的呼应。dare 敢; need 必要; may也许;         should应该。有风险时,人们"不应该"改变车道。故选D。
小题14:考查动词及上下文的呼应。think想,认为 ; discover发现; prove 证明;      look看。开车时必须要"发现"自己的位置所在。故选B。
小题15:考查名词及上下文的呼应。signs标志; roads路; posters海报 ; people人们。人们应不时地辨认"标志",来"发现"自己所处的位置。故选A。
小题16:考查副词及上下文的呼应。possible 可能的; soon尽快 ;much 多; hard努力地。如果走错了路,人们应"尽快"回到正确的路线上来。故选B。          
小题17:考查名词及上下文的呼应。money 钱; luck 运气; time时间; trust信任。走错了方向时应"尽快(as soon as possible)"改变,但消耗"时间和精力"在所难免。故选C。
小题18:考查固定短语及上下文的呼应。in 在……里; with 用; about大约; on the whole"总得说来"。故选D。
小题19:考查连词及上下文的呼应。therefore 因此; but 但是; and 并且; then那时。与前文形成转折关系。从正反两方面说明人们怎样才能生活得好,因此此处只能用转折连词but。故选B。
小题20:考查代词及上下文的呼应。It它; he 他; they 他们; you你们。 they指的是driving on a highway and living one’s life这两件事情。故选C。
点评:完形填空是一种既要求有正确的阅读理解能力,有要求有扎实的语法、词汇和文化知识积累,是一种全面考查考生全面语言运用能力的题型。因此考生要扎实自己的语言基础。只有过硬的语言基础和细微的细节处理得当才能在完形填空中拿高分。人生百味类的文章一般是通过生活中经历的一些小事而得出相应的人生哲理。这类题考生可根据自己的人生体验进行做题。

“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
Annabel, my close friend, stunned(使…震惊)me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting(代替). “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
“Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
My jaw dropped,“What did you do?”
“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.
小题1:What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?
A.The writer is a good athlete.
B.The writer scolds herself too much.
C.She is encouraging the writer
D.A gold medal is not a big deal.
小题2:What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?
A.She has low self-esteem over some small things.
B.She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.
C.She is a third-grade teacher.
D.She cares too much about her appearance.
小题3:We can infer that the underlined word “slob” might be _____.
A.something untidyB.someone dangerousC.something dirtyD.someone lazy
小题4:What can we learn about Annabel?
A.She used to put herself down a lot.
B.She often goes to church.
C.She was in charge of a workshop.
D.She used to be too shy to talk to others.
小题5:What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?
A.She is ready to turn to God for help.
B.She will be kind to all children.
C.She won’t insult(侮辱) herself as well as others.
D.She is willing to be a child of God.

In March 1987, I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence. It was a very proud moment for me. I’d worked hard for over a year to create it, and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.
Shortly after we mailed 25,000 copies, I received one in the mail. But this one wasn’t as beautiful as the ones we’d sent out. It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it. A talented editor had read the issue carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed. A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容). The stories were good, but the errors this woman had found showed that we were far from being excellent.
At first, I was upset with my editor for not having caught more mistakes, and also upset with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out. Later, I was upset with myself for not having employed a better editor.
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistakes. I called the woman who had shown me that we were not so excellent. I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully. As painful as it was, I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our publication. The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment could be an opportunity to see the truth, and accepting responsibility could help to prevent one making the same mistakes for a second time, and to make "excellence" a reality.
小题1:From the first paragraph we learn that _____.
A.the author put little effort into his first magazine
B.the author’s job was selling magazines
C.the author was very satisfied with his work
D.the author experienced a total failure
小题2:What does the underlined word "abashed" mean?
A.excited.B.embarrassed.C.interested.D.exhausted.
小题3:What do we learn about the woman who had found the errors in the magazine?
A.She was causing trouble on purpose.
B.She liked pointing out the errors of others.
C.She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.
D.She ended up joining the magazine.
小题4:What do we learn from this passage?
A.Pride is the biggest enemy of success.
B.Success is behind many failures.
C.Picking holes in something can help you find a job.
D.Accepting responsibility for one’s errors can lead to real excellence.

About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images(影像). It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.
However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Music.B.Radio.C.Sound.D.Television.
小题2:People like to watch TV because _______.
A.it has headphones to listen to the news
B.they can drive while watching TV
C.it has both sounds and images
D.they can watch with their ears
小题3:We learn from the passage that _______.
A.people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime
B.television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now
C.a radio is more expensive than a television
D.people can use headphones to read books

The Hand
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class fun work to draw a picture of  36  for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be  37   to be economically(经济上) poor, but still many would  38   a big holiday dinner with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the   39   of most of her students’ art. And they really were.
But Douglas made a   40   kind of picture, for Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of pity and love,  41  and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt  42   those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When he was  43  to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a  44  ---nothing else. Just an empty hand.
His picture brought out the heated  45  of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer because farmers  46   turkeys. Another suggested a police officer’s because the police protect and  47   people. And so the discussion went --- until the teacher   48   forgot the young artist.
  49 the children had gone on to do other work, she   50 Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said in a very low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled the  51    when she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there and how  52   she had said, “Take your hand, Douglas, and we’ll go outside.” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” or “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most   53   for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing aside tears, she went on with her work.
In fact, people  54   not always say “Thanks”. But they would remember the hand that  55   .

The month of May is not only a graduation month in the US, but also a month when some families hold reunions.Have you ever considered why it is important that families get together in one place for a particular time? I believe the reason is honor.
Family reunions are a time we can take out of our busy schedules and spend quality time with our extended families(大家庭).It is a time when we can make our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and others we love a priority (首要事情)in our life.
Some reunions take place over a picnic lunch and some last a whole weekend.They can be costly and are sometimes crazy.But the truth is, when people you love grow up and move away, getting together for a family reunion and holding that family bond together is so important.
Family reunions build a renewed closeness as we mix with our relatives.We sit and talk about old times and listen to the stories that our older and wiser relatives love to share.As the children run and play and get to know each other, we sit and revisit our childhood memories and enjoy the short time we have together.
The best part of a family reunion is the time spent simply being around the people you care about A reunion shows how important it is to take time for each other.When you receive a family reunion invitation, make it a priority in your life.It's a great chance to see your relatives once again, give them a big hug and enjoy the time you have with them.Life is too short not to!

Children today would rather toy with new technologies. The role of children has changed as well as that of teens. The world has truly evolved (进化)throughout the years.
Today,a typical day in the life of a five year old is entirely different from what it once was. A few decades ago children used to work. They did the kind of work parents do today. Today there are shows on which children are putting pounds of makeup on and have flashing things all over their bodies. This makes a child want to paper over all of their imperfections. They think they have to look perfect all the time.
Teens have changed as well. My grandma got married when she was thirteen. Girls who had an arranged marriage had no time to play because they were expected to cook, clean,take care of the kids, and do housework every single day. Today,we go to school every morning, maybe participate in some after-school activities, and possibly go to work for extra cash. Then we go home and do homework, and eat. After all of this we have to find the time to socialize by texting, talking on the phone, or logging on to social networking sites. We enjoy ourselves a lot.
The generation before us complains about how they did not have the things we have now. They say we are not appreciative and do not value life or just do not care about our futures anymore. Let's make a change! The youth have the power to work on whatever they believe in and make a difference in the world. Take advantage of your resources. It is never too late to make a positive change in our world.
小题1:The role of children and teens has changed mainly because _____.
A.new technologies are developing and widely used
B.they don't have to work hard as their parents did
C.their world has truly evolved
D.they look perfect all the time
小题2:The underlined phrase (in the 2nd Para. ) probably means to _____.
A.put up with B.make up for C.put aside D.cover up
小题3:We can learn from the text that nowadays teenagers _____.
A.do housework as their parents did
B.are having a social life in richer ways
C.are seldom satisfied with what they have
D.don't appreciate and value life
小题4:The author's attitude towards changes of teen’s life is _____.
A.critical B.neutral C.optimistic D.complaining

One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank.There I would   36  the peace and quiet, watch the water rush   37  and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of   38  in the trees.I would also watch the bamboo trees   39  under pressure from the wind and watch them   40  gracefully to their original position after the wind had   41  .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind.When used in   42  to a person, this word means the ability to readily   43  from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's   44  .

During the   46  you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health.You felt emotionally drained(枯竭),   47  exhausted and you most likely stood   48   physical symptoms.
Life is a   49  of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments.The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy   50   that take you close to your breaking point, bend,   51  don't break.Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A measure of hope will take you   52  the unpleasant ordeal (考验).With   53   for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be.The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to   54  if the final result is worth having.
