I was in college _1_ my father passed away. I had another year in front of me in order to be called _2_ graduate. The trouble was that I could not concentrate _3_ my studies anymore. Whenever I tried to open my books to study, tears _4_ block my view. I just wanted to quit and stay at home to help my mother deal with the sorrow.At this time, I received his help through my fathers personal financial advisor. One evening, he visited us and asked about my studies. I told him I could not continue my college because I did not want to study anymore. He reminded me how my father _5_ (send) me to the best college in our city. Did I want to fulfill my fathers dream _6_ did I want to be called a failure? I wept, _7_ (say) I did want to do what my dad wanted but I just couldnt study. He gave me all the _8_ (encourage) I needed to be able to carry on. His calming, gentle voice did wonders and I decided to study _9_ (far) and plete my graduation. I still remember this gentleman _10_ came to my rescue and helped me make the right decision.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。在作者最颓废的时候，一位好心人给他指明了前进的道路，帮助他从失去父亲的痛苦中走出来，继续完成学业。1when考查状语从句的连接词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导时间状语从句，故用when，意为“当时候”。2a考查冠词。此处表泛指，表示“一名毕业生”，故用不定冠词a。3on考查介词。由句中的“concentrate”可知，应填介词on，构成动词短语concentrate on . “专心于，把思想集中于”。4would考查情态动词。根据语境，此处指“每当我试图打开书学习的时候，眼泪就会模糊我的视线”。would“总会”符合语境。5had sent考查动词的时态。send是发生在reminded之前的动作，表示“过去的过去”，故用过去完成时。6or考查连词。or在句中连接了两个疑问句，前后两个句子的意义相反，因此指在两者之间的选择。7saying考查非谓语动词。“saying从句”在句中作伴随状语。主语I与say是逻辑上的主谓关系，且say和句子谓语wept表示的动作几乎同时发生，因此用现在分词。8encouragement考查词性转换。根据语境及空前的“the”可知，应用encourage的名词形式encouragement。9further考查词性转换。由本句中的“plete my graduation”可知，作者会继续学习下去，应填表抽象意义的further “更进一步地”。 10who/that考查定语从句的引导词。空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，先行词是this gentleman，故用who/that。三、完形填空。We have all heard of giant pandas, and know that they are endangered.

Researchers use the mirror recognition test to _6_ whether children or animals have a _7_ of selfawareness.In the test, an animal is presented _8_ a mirror. Researchers then watch to see _9_ it notices a mark on its face, which is only _10_ in the mirror. If the animal notices the mark, it often _11_ it. Human children often pass the test when they are only two years old.Many other animals have passed the mirror test, including monkeys, Asian elephants and even pigeons. But when researchers tested pandas, _12_ of them did the same thing as those animals did. _13_， each panda behaved as if their _14_ in the mirror was another panda altogether. They acted as if they were _15_ by what they saw in the mirror, scratching their feet and walking _16_.The _17_ of this research will help design better areas for animals in captivity (圈养). For example, onedirectional glass sometimes used in the areas may _18_ pandas to feel stressed when they see their own image in the _19_. Thats because they might believe it to be another panda, _20_ themselves.1A.papersBcoversCheadlines Dpages2A.widely Bpopularly Cespecially Dpletely3A.shy BfondCconscious Dconfident4A.failed BignoredCfaced Dconducted5A.observe BdiscoverCrecognize Dunderstand6A.believe in Bfind outCpick out Dtake in7A.sense BquestionCopinion Dthought8A.for BwithCin Dbefore9A.how BwhenCwhy Dwhether10A.touchable BseeableCsensible Dpossible11A.dismisses BadmitsCfeels Dmoves12A.all BmostCone Dnone13A.Thus BHoweverCInstead DStill14A.reaction BreflectionCoperation Dimagination15A.trapped BamazedCthreatened Dteased16A.backwards BaloneCforwards Dalong17A.failure BouteCsuccess Dreview18A.cause BprepareCaccelerate Durge19A.eyes BcagesCzoo Dglass20A.other than Bregardless ofCbecause of Drather than【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文对大熊猫、儿童还有其他的动物都做了有关自我意识感方面的研究，结果显示大熊猫的自我认知很差，即使照镜子，它们也认不出镜子里的自己。1C考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“and know that they are endangered”可推知，当一个大熊猫有宝宝后，很快就会上国内新闻头条。C项意为“头条(新闻)”，符合语境。A项意为“报纸”；B项意为“封面”；D项意为“页码”，均与语境不符。故选C项。2A考查副词辨析。上文提到，当一个大熊猫有宝宝后，很快就会上国内新闻头条；由此可推知，大熊猫宝宝的照片会被广泛传阅。A项意为“广泛地”，符合语境。B项意为“流行地”；C项意为“特别地”；D项意为“完全地”，均与语境不符。故选A项。3C考查形容词辨析。根据第二段第一句中的“a classic test of selfawareness”可知，这里指的是现在看起来大熊猫是没有自我意识的。C项意为“有意识的”，符合语境。A项意为“害羞的”；B项意为“喜欢的”；D项意为“自信的”，均与语境不符。故选C项。4A考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“They cannot. have a _ of selfawareness.”可知，可爱的大熊猫没有通过这种经典的自我意识测试。A项意为“失败”，符合语境。B项意为“忽视”；C项意为“面对”；D项意为“指挥，引导”，均与语境不符。故选A项。5C考查动词辨析。根据下文的“Researchers use the mirror recognition.”可知，此处指大熊猫认不出镜子中的自己。C项意为“辨认出”，符合语境。A项意为“观察”；B项意为“发现”；D项意为“理解”，均与语境不符。故选C项。6B考查动词短语辨析。根据语境可知，此处指研究者的目的是弄清楚孩子或动物是否有自我认知。B项意为“找到，弄清楚”，符合语境。A项意为“相信，信任”；C项意为“挑选出”；D项意为“吸收，欺骗”，均与语境不符。故选B项。7A考查名词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指自我认知，是一种感觉。A项意为“感觉”，a sense of为固定搭配，意为“一种感”，符合语境。B项意为“问题”；C项意为“观点”；D项意为“想法”，均与语境不符。故选A项。8B考查介词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指在实验中，动物在镜子中呈现出来。表示使用某种工具，应用介词with。9D考查连词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指研究者想观察大熊猫是否能注意到它脸上的记号。故选D项。10B考查形容词辨析。根据常识可知，在自己脸上的标记，只有在镜子中才能看到。B项意为“可见的”，符合语境。A项意为“可触摸的”；C项意为“可觉察的”；D项意为“可能的”，均与语境不符。故选B项。11C考查动词辨析。根据下文的“Many other animals have passed the mirror test”可知，此处指如果动物注意到脸上的标记，它会感受到这个标记的。C项意为“感受，感觉”，符合语境。A项意为“解雇，解散”；B项意为“承认”；D项意为“移动”，均与语境不符。故选C项。12D考查代词辨析。根据上文及转折词“but”可知，此处指没有一只大熊猫像其他动物一样能感受到脸上的标记。故选D项。13C考查副词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指“相反，每一只大熊猫表现得就像镜子里的影像是其他大熊猫”。C项意为“代替，而不是”，符合语境。A项意为“因此”；B项意为“然而”；D项意为“仍然”，均与语境不符。故选C项。14B考查名词辨析。根据常识可知，镜子中应是映照出的影像。B项意为“映像，倒影”，符合语境。A项意为“反应”；C项意为“操作，手术”；D项意为“想象”。均与语境不符。故选B项。15C考查动词辨析。根据下文中熊猫的反应可知，熊猫表现出好像受到镜子中“自己”的威胁。C项意为“威胁”，符合语境。A项意为“使陷入困境，卡住”；B项意为“使惊讶”；D项意为“取笑，戏弄”，均与语境不符。故选C项。16A考查副词辨析。根据常识可知，害怕会向后退。A项意为“向后”，符合语境。B项意为“独自地”；C项意为“向前”；D项意为“一起，沿着”，均与语境不符。故选A项。17B考查名词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指研究的结果。B项意为“结果”，符合语境。A项意为“失败”；C项意为“成功”；D项意为“复习”，均与语境不符。故选B项。18A考查动词辨析。由语境可知，此处指可以成像的玻璃会让大熊猫感到有压力。cause sb. to do sth. 意为“导致某人做某事”，符合语境。B项意为“准备”；C项意为“加速”；D项意为“督促”，均与语境不符。故选A项。19D考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“onedirectional glass”可知，glass符合语境。故选D项。20D考查介词短语辨析。由语境可知，此处指这就是因为大熊猫相信镜子里是别的大熊猫而不是自己。D项意为“而不是”，符合语境。A项意为“除了”；B项意为“不管”；C项意为“因为”，均与语境不符。故选D项。四、短文改错。Today is Sunday.
