As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis. As a matter of fact, we can see this         at work in people of all ages. For example, on Christmas morning, children are         about playing with their new toys. But their      soon wears off and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of       stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s       interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child       bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a       time, however, the burden of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great excitement but are soon looking forward to       . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many     , who now complain about the long drives to work,       drove for hours at a time when they first       their driver’s license ? Before people retire, they usually      to do a lot of      things, which they never had time to do while working. But soon after retirement, the golfing, the fishing, the reading and all of the other pastimes (消遣) become as boring as the jobs they     . And, like the children in January, they go searching for “new        ” .

解析试题分析:
【小题1】A考查名词词义辨析及上下文语境。A原则,定理;B习惯;C弱者;D权力,电力。文章开头提出As a general rule, all forms of activity lead to boredom when they are performed on a routine(常规)basis.(通常说来当各种活动变成日常常规的时候都会让人厌倦。)这一常见的现象,下文用this指代前句所表达的信息,由此判断上述情况其实是一种定律,是在人们中经常发生的一种状况,故答案选A.。
【小题2】C考查形容词辨析及上下文串联。A.惊讶的;   B. 感动的; C. 兴奋的;    D.满意的。从情理可知孩子们对新玩具感到非常兴奋的,会爱不释手,选C。
【小题3】B考查名词辨析及上下文串联。A. 自信;  B. 兴趣;C. 焦虑;D. 难过。从上文可知孩子们对圣诞节得到的新礼物非常激动高兴,但是根据后句内容and by January those same toys can be found put away in the basement.可以推断他们对以前的玩具不再热衷,兴趣索然,选B。
【小题4】D考查形容词辨析及上下文串联。A有组织的;B彩印的;C刚收集的;D半满的;本文主要讲述的是人们的兴趣经常会变,我们总是不把事情做圆满,不会持之以恒,集邮本只有一半邮票,小说只写了一部分,没有完工。这些都是兴趣转移的情况,故答案选D
【小题5】B考查形容词辨析及上下文串联。A.失去的;B. 过去的;C. 发展中的;D. 倒下的。上句提到收集了一半的集邮册,只写了一部分的小说,这些都是兴趣转移的情况,都是逝去的兴趣的见证,答案选B。
【小题6】C考查副词辨析及语境串联。A安静地;B不耐烦的;C高兴地;D担心地。当父母亲把宠物带回家时孩子们很高兴地给宠物洗澡,梳理毛发。这说明在新鲜事物出现的时候,人们总是兴趣浓厚。
【小题7】B考查形容词辨析及上下文串联。 A. 有趣的;B. 短的;C.长的;    D. 无聊的,枯燥的。上文讲述的是人们兴趣爱好的不断转移,而且根据下句however, the burden of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents.可以判断孩子对宠物的兴趣很快就消失了,所以是短时间内就失去了兴趣,选B。
【小题8】A考查名词词义辨析及上下文串联。A毕业;B独立;C责任;D成功;这个例子仍然告诉我们年轻人的兴趣也是很快就消失的。刚进入高中时很兴奋,但很快他们就厌倦了高中生活,期待着毕业了,选A。
【小题9】C考查名词词义辨析及语境串联。A孩子;B学生;C成年人;D退休的人。在前面内容作者叙述了小孩子,青年人的情况之后,从本句开始讲述成年人的情况。那些抱怨开车很长时间上班的人在刚刚拿到驾照的时候又是无比兴奋,选C。
【小题10】B考查副词辨析及上下文串联。A细心地;B急切地;C紧张地;D勇敢地。从情理可知刚刚拿到驾照的成年人非常兴奋,急切地连续开车好几个小时,慢慢地他们厌倦了开车,开车上班都有了抱怨,选B。
【小题11】B考查动词词义辨析及语境串联。A要求,请求;B获得;拿到;C注意到;D发现。在上文中作者讲述了小孩子,年轻人对于刚刚开始做的事情非常期待,从情理以及上文内容可以推测本句是指成年人在刚刚得到驾照的时候无比急切地要去开车。
【小题12】D考查动词词义辨析及上下文串联。A需要;B学习;C开始;D计划;从后句which they never had time to do while working.可知即将退休的老人在退休之前对退休后的生活也充满着期待,计划在退休之后要做很多的事情,选D。
【小题13】A考查形容词辨析及语境串联。A美妙的,伟大的;B强壮的;C困难的;D正确的。从情理判断人们都是期待着美好的事情,所以老人们在退休之前雄心勃勃地计划要去做他们在上班时候没有时间去做的事情。选A。
【小题14】C考查动词词义辨析及语境串联。A失去;B选择;C离开;D放弃。文章介绍的是人们的兴趣爱好容易转移放弃的情况,所以他们放弃高尔夫等是因为这些爱好和他们离开的工作一样都变得很无聊乏味了。
【小题15】B考查名词词义辨析及上下文串联。A宠物;B玩具;C朋友;D同事;这些退休的老人和1月份的孩子们一样抛弃了圣诞节时收到的玩具礼物,去找新的玩具了。此处是指他们去寻找新的兴趣了,选B.

The train had started moving. It was      with people of all ages, mostly with the middle-aged workers and young students. Near the      sat an old man with his thirty-year-old son. As the train moved by, the son was overjoyed with the        outside. “See, dad, the scenery of green trees moving        is very beautiful.”
This behavior from a        son made the other people feel strange about him. Everyone was       about the son. “This person seems to be       ,” a newly-married man whispered to his wife.
Suddenly it started   . Lots of drops fell on the travelers through the open window. The son excitedly said to his father, “See, dad, how      the rain is, too.” The man’s wife was annoyed by the rain drops spoiling (弄坏) her      suit. The young man said to the father, “Can’t you see it raining yourself? Your son        be mentally ill. Get him to a hospital!”
The old man        at first, feeling rather hurt and then replied, “We are on the way back from the       . My son was        from birth. He just recovered from an eye operation yesterday. The rain and nature are all new to his eyes. Please      us for the inconvenience that we may have caused.”
The things we see may be right from the outside      we know the truth,      the lesson learnt may be too late. Imam Ali once said: A fool’s mind is at the mercy of his tongue and a wise man’s tongue is under the control of his      . So try to understand the problem better before taking a(n)     action. As the saying goes, “It is better to light up a candle instead of blaming the       .”
