试题分析：文章讲述的是一个女子Bonnie虽然身患重病，却用幽默的方式来对待它。
1.Bonnie 罹患癌症，在治疗的过程中肯定要受很多的折磨和痛苦，a series of“一系列，一连串”，a set of “一套”，a pack of“一包”，因此选B。
2.本题考查词性，一般来说患了癌症就像判了死刑一样，而Bonnie却微笑着面对，没有把它看作死亡之症，她用幽默的方式对待它。seriously“严重地”，是副词；deadly“致死的”，是形容词；terribly“糟糕地”，副词，fearfully“恐惧地，害怕地”，此处需要形容词，因此选B。
3.本题考查代词的区别。根据上下文可知她以幽默的方式对待癌症，用另一种方式对待它，三者或三者以上用another, the others“另一些”， 代指复数；other“其他的”，others“另一些”，和some 相对，因此选B。
4.根据上下文可知她教导人们虽然癌症不是件有趣的事儿，但是我们却可以用幽默的方式对待它。根据though可知是转折让步的语气，因此选D。
5.本题考查连词的用法。根据句意：当她诊断出得了癌症时，她的第二个孩子还有三个月就要出生了。while后要接延续性动词，而diagnose是非延续性的，因此选B。
6.根据上下文可知在怀孕的情况下得知自己患了癌症，肯定是由高兴变为忧虑和绝望，sad“悲伤的”，happy“高兴的”，fortune“幸运的”， sick“有病的”，因此选A。
7.根据上下文可知她变得很绝望，担心自己的生命，这是正常的反应，因此选C。
8.本题考查动词的词义辨析。根据上下文可知她生完孩子以后才开始治疗，deliver a baby“生孩子”，make“制造”，attend“参加”，open“打开”，因此选B。
9.本题考查副词的用法。根据上下文可知接下来是化疗，then放于句首，句子倒装，here意思不匹配，因此选D。
10.根据上下文可知，得了癌症她刚开始是很恐慌、很害怕、很绝望的，开始化疗后，她的生活充满了恐惧和泪水，failure“失败”，loneliness“寂寞”，wonder“奇迹”，因此选C。
11.根据上下文：当她的头发都掉光了，戴假发时她的人生跌倒了最低谷。high“高的”，great“伟大的”，ugly“丑陋的”，因此选B。
12.本题考查动词的区别，try on“试穿，试戴”，固定搭配，wear不与on连用，carry on “坚持”，fasten“系，拴紧”，因此选D。
13.本题考查动词词组的辨析。根据句意：那时我决定如何去面对它，how 和deal with 连用，而do with和what 连用，go with“伴随，与……相配”，meet with “碰到，遇见”，因此选A。
14.根据上下文可知是在crying over this had wig和laughing about it两者之间进行选择， 不管是哪一个都会让我的儿子记住。两者之间进行选择用either, 因此选C。
15.根据上文可知她在试戴假发的时候她的大儿子看见了，因此选B。
16.根据上文可知 Bonnie 开始从癌症患者之间收集有趣的故事，并且在收集故事的过程中她得到了很多，因此答案选C。

Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
Since the earliest civilizations, people have controlled rivers to meet society's demands．Today, rivers are controlled for many reasons, primarily to maintain reliable water supplies for daily, agricultural and industrial needs, for power generation, for navigation(航行), and to prevent flooding．
River control is achieved by channelization, a term that covers a range of river engineering works, including widening, deepening, straightening and stabilization of banks, and by the construction of dams．
An important period of channelization took place in Europe during the l9'th century, when many large rivers were straightened and their beds deepened．One of the most dramatically changed was the Tisza River, a branch of the Danube that flows through Hungary．The controlling of the Tisza, designed to reduce flooding and make land for agriculture, included cutting off more than 100 meanders(河曲), shortening the river's length by nearly 400 kilometers．
One of the most common ways in which people control rivers is by damming them．The past 50 years or so has seen an increase in dam construction worldwide, and at the beginning of the 21st century, there were about 800, 000 dams globally, some towering more than 200 meters in height．
Despite their successes, many dams also cause significant environmental changes that prove harmful．Some particularly deep reservoirs(水库)can bring about earthquakes due to the stress on their bottom rocks caused by huge volumes of water．Downstream of a reservoir, the river is certainly influenced in many ways：water volume, speed and quality are all affected, leading to changes in the landscape and among plants and animals．

Over three million people will do their Christmas shopping entirely online this year without once visiting an actual shop, a poll (民意调查) has found. Overcrowding and long queues in shops are forcing people away from the high street as the hassle (烦扰) of Christmas shopping becomes too much.
The number of people turning their backs on the high street is almost one million higher than it was last year, according to the poll by YouGov. Last Christmas 2.4 million shoppers did not do any of their shopping in actual shops. The figure this year is predicted to be around 3.4 million, equal to around 7 percent of the adult population.

Around 31 percent of shoppers who plan to spend at least some time on the high street will spend less than half of their shopping time in actual shops, using the rest of the time to shop remotely via the internet. This compares to 28 percent of people last year. Meanwhile the proportion of people spending over half of their shopping time in high street shops has dropped from 41 percent last year to 39 percent this year. Just 2 percent of people said that they are looking forward to dealing wi.th store staff this festival season.
Guy Boxall, senior product marketing manager at Casio Business Solutions Division, which commissioned the research from YouGov, said that despite the fall in people visiting the high street,humans are "social creatures" who actually like spending time together.
"Although the high street is facing a big challenge Christmas, retailers (零售商) should see this research as a challenge to improve the in-store shopping experience, rather than the nail in the coffin. We are social creatures, and the desire to spend time with each other, particularly at Christmas, is never going to go away," said Mr. Boxall.

Tuesday was the eighth day of the 12 th month on the Chinese lunar calendar. I first became aware of the day as a traditional festival called laba, or the eighth day of the winter month – when I was working in a factory 30 years ago.
At lunch time，some elder co-workers opened their lunch boxes, and out came the sweet smell of well-cooked rice porridge mixed with beans，nuts and dates（枣）and they talked excitedly. Then, I wondered why there should be such an unnecessary excitement over the laba festival. Growing up during the “cultural revolution” (1966－1976), when almost all traditional things were considered out-of-date，I had scarcely become aware of most of the traditional festivals.
I really started to value and celebrate these traditional festivals when I began to write about Chinese culture. It is really encouraging that, despite the dramatic changes and modernization that our country has experienced over the past three decades, people have come to treasure many of our traditions more. Some people may have a complaint against the extreme commercialization（商业化）of these traditional festivals, but I believe the business promotions have at least worked to increase people’s awareness.
Most of the traditional Chinese festivals are celebrated with feasts. No wonder that on Tuesday a lot of people were buying rice，nuts，dry fruit, and beans from supermarkets and stores. A few thousand went to the Yonghegong Lama Temple to make prays for peace and happiness.
Now that we have celebrated laba festival，we are now looking forward to the Lunar New Year, when we are supposed to have a lot more feasts. In fact, it is reported that almost all popular restaurants have been booked out for the Lunar New Year Eve dinner in major cities across the country.
1．As a whole，the passage is mainly organized by_________.
A．space B．examples C．time D．comparison
2．What is the writer’s attitude toward Chinese Festivals?
A．He takes them seriously all the time.
B．He values them more than before.
C．He expects only the Lunar New Year.
D．He thinks Chinese Festival are too commercialized.
3．The common ways to celebrate traditional Chinese festivals in the passage are to________.
① stop working in the factory ② enjoy some special delicious food
③ have feasts with the family or friends ④ pray for peace in temples
⑤ buy rice，nuts，fruits and beans ⑥ write about Chinese culture
A．①③⑤ B．②⑤⑥ C．①④⑥ D．②③④
4．From the last paragraph it can be inferred that now_________.
A．people are eager to show their richer life
B．people have become tired of laba festival
C．people are living a better life than before
D．people are always active in celebrating festivals
