He will be ignorant _1_ his parents efforts. When he starts work, he _2_ (assume) that every person must listen to him, and when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings of his _3_ (employ) and will always blame others.For this kind of person, _4_ may be good academically and may be _5_ (success) for a while, eventually he will not feel the sense of achievement. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead? You can let your children live in _6_ big house, eat a good meal, learn the piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience _7_.After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not _8_ you do not have money to hire a maid. You want them _9_ (understand), no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray.The most important things are that your children learn _10_ to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn how to work with others to get things done.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究表明被溺爱的孩子往往会很自私，因此让孩子适度体验生活的艰难对他们会有好处。1of考查介词。此处指他会忽视父母的努力。be ignorant of sth. “不知道，不了解”。2will assume考查动词的时态。根据语境，此处指的是还未发生的动作，从句“When he starts work”用一般现在时，主句应用一般将来时。下文中的“when he bees a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees考查词性转换。他永远也不会知道他下属的痛苦。空前的“his”表明，此处应用名词，且此处用名词复数形式表泛指。4who考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词person，并在定语从句中作主语，故用who。5successful考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作表语，故用形容词successful。6a考查冠词。此处指让你的孩子住在一个大房子里，表泛指，故用不定冠词，结合空后的big可知，应填a。7it考查代词。你割草时让他们来体验一下。此处用it指代割草这件事。8because考查连词。这样做并不是因为你没钱雇女仆。空后解释的是原因，故用because。注意：本句为省略的强调句，只能用because，不用since/as/for。9to understand考查非谓语动词。want sb.to do sth.为固定用法，意为“想要某人做某事”。10how考查疑问词。分析句子结构可知，此处是“疑问词不定式”结构作宾语，且表示“如何”，故用how。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。An 18yearold student at Stanford University was struggling to pay his fees.Not knowing where to turn for money，he came up with a bright _1_.He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to _2_ money for their education.They_3_ out to the great pianist Ignacy JPaderewski.His manager_4_ a guaranteed fee of$2,000 for the piano recital(独奏会)A deal was_5_ and the boys began to work to make the concert a _6_.The big day arrived.But _7_ ，they had not managed to sell enough tickets.The total _8_ was only $1,600.Disappointed，they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境)They gave him the entire $1,600，plus a _9_ for the balance$400.They promised to honor the check at the _10_ possible.Paderewski tore up the check，_11_ the$1,600 and told the two boys to keep the money they needed for the fees.The boys were_12_ ，and thanked him heartedly.It was a small act of _13_.But it clearly marked out Paderewski _14_ a great human being._15_ should he help two people he did not even know? We all _16_ situations like these in our lives.And_17_ of us only think“If I help them，what will happen to me？”The truly _18_ people think，“If I dont help them，what will happen to them？”They dont do it _19_ something in return.They do it _20_ they feel its the right thing to do.1A.timeBtaskCidea Ddecision2A.receive BraiseCborrow Ddonate3A.reached BturnedCpointed Dcalled4A.increased BcoveredCconsidered Ddemanded5A.rejected BstruckCcanceled Dattracted6A.success BcareerCbackground Dperformance7A.uncertainly BunbelievablyCunfortunately Dundoubtedly8A.cost BbillCcollection Dallowance9A.benefit BprofitCcharge Dcheck10A.soonest BlatestClongest Dfarthest11A.took BcountedCdeposited Dreturned12A.pleased BsurprisedCfrightened Dinterested13A.devotion BkindnessCsympathy Dteamwork14A.like BforCas Dto15A.How BWhereCWhen DWhy16A.e across Bdeal withCadapt to Dthink of17A.both BfewCnone Dmost18A.able BrichCgreat Dfamous19A.taking BexpectingCoffering Dpreparing20A.because BthoughCbefore Dso【解题导语】两个大学生本想通过组织一场音乐会赚取学费，可是音乐会并不成功，但善良的受邀钢琴家的大方举动却给他们解了围。1C根据设空后的He and a friend decided to host a musical concert.可知，他和朋友决定举办一场音乐会以筹集学费，这是他的想法(idea)。故选C项。2B根据上文中的Not knowing where to turn for money可知，由于学费不够，他和朋友决定举办音乐会来筹集学费。receive意为“收到”；raise意为“筹集”；borrow意为“借”；donate意为“捐献”。故选B项。3Areach out to意为“表示对感兴趣；表示愿意提供援助”；turn out意为“证明是；结果是”；point out意为“指出”；call out意为“大声呼叫；呼喊”。根据第二段可知，他们开音乐会要邀请著名的钢琴家，说明他们对这位钢琴家有兴趣。故选A项。测训诊断：本题考生易误选B项。考生易把turn to“求助于”和turn out to“证明是；结果是”以及reach out to“表示对感兴趣”混淆。4D根据设空后的a guaranteed fee可知，钢琴家的经纪人要求(demanded)他们付2,000美元的保证金。故选D项。increase意为“增加”；cover意为“覆盖；遮蔽；包括；报道”；consider意为“考虑；细想；认为”。5B根据设空后的began to work可知，他们之间达成了协议。strike a deal意为“达成协议”；reject意为“拒绝”；cancel意为“取消”；attract意为“吸引”。故选B项。6A他们达成了协议，并且为了音乐会的成功举办，他们开始积极筹备。故选A项。success意为“成功的事”，career意为“职业；事业”；background意为“背景；出身”；performance意为“表演；演出；表现”。7C根据前文可知他们达成了协议，再根据设空后的had not managed to sell enough tickets可知，他们并没有卖出足够的票，这对他们来说是不幸的。故选C项。8C根据设空后的$1,600以及下文的$400可知，此处指他们总的筹款为1,600美元。cost意为“花费；成本；代价”；bill意为“账单”；collection意为“筹集的钱；收藏品”；allowance意为“津贴；补贴”。9D根据下文的They promised to honor the check at the _ possible.可知，因为他们并没有筹到足够的钱，所以又写了400美元的支票作为欠款。故选D项。10A他们承诺尽快(soonest)承兑支票，故选A项。11D根据空前的Paderewski tore up the check及空后的told the two boys to keep the money they needed for the fees可知，钢琴家撕毁了支票，并且还把1,600美元还给了(returned)他们让他们当做学费。故选D项。12B根据上文可知，他们本来是承诺了要给钢琴家2,000美元，但却没有筹够钱，而钢琴家又把钱还给了他们，因此，他们非常惊讶(surprised)而且非常感激。故选B项。pleased意为“高兴的；快乐的；满意的”；frightened意为“害怕的”；interested意为“感兴趣的”。13B根据上文可知，钢琴家没有要保证金，而且把钱给了两个大学生充当学费，因此这是一个善举。devotion意为“献身；贡献”；kindness意为“善良”；sympathy意为“同情”；teamwork意为“团队合作”。故选B项。14C钢琴家的善举使得他更显人的伟大之处。mark.out as意为“使看上去脱颖而出成为”，符合语境。故选C项。15D根据下文可知，每个人都遇到过帮与不帮别人的问题，由此可推测，本句应是探讨帮助别人的原因。故选D项。16A根据下文And _ of us only think“If I help them, what will happen to me？”可知，我们都曾遇到过类似的情况。e across意为“偶遇；邂逅”，符合语境。故选A项。deal with意为“处理；处置”；adapt to意为“适应”；think of意为“想起；想到”。17D根据语境可知，此处应指我们大多数，故选D项。18C根据上句可知，大多数人是在想帮助别人对自己的影响，而伟大的人却想如果不帮助别人对他人有什么影响。great意为“伟大的”，符合语境。故选C项。19B根据上文的“If I dont help them, what will happen to them？”可知，他们是在考虑别人，不求(expecting)回报。故选B项。20A根据最后一段可知，伟大的人不求回报地去帮助别人，他们之所以这么做，是因为他们感觉这是正确的事情。因此，设空处表原因，引导原因状语从句。故选A项。四、短文改错。This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had been saved for months. Too upset was I that I could hardly concentrate in what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked if or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my pockets while I was walking. And fortunately, a young lady walked behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave them to him.How excited and how deep moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.答案：This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had saved for months. upset was I that I could hardly concentrate what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my while I was walking. fortunately, a young lady behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave to him.How excited and how moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.难项分析：第一处：去掉been考查动词的语态。此句中the money为先行词，其后为省略了关系词which/that的定语从句。从句中I和save之间是主动关系，所以此处不能用被动语态。第四处：ifwhether考查宾语从句。asked后的句子是宾语从句。宾语从句可用if/whether “是否”来引导，但whether可与or not连用，if则不可，故应将if改为whether。第十处：kind前加a考查冠词。person为可数名词，且此处表泛指，故其前应加不定冠词，表示“一个善良的人”。五、七选五。
