Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good __35__ for the team.

A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the__36__ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup（替補(bǔ)）. Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a __37__ and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a __38__ way to decide.

Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up（陣容）.Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the __39__ on the team were set except one. Carla and I __40__ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.

Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead.__41__ I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted __42__ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla __43__, just by a little bit. Her expression as she __44__ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.

Was I __45__ by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn't __46__ it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

試題分析：幾周以前，校長(zhǎng)高迪先生告訴我們，我們學(xué)校被選中參加一個(gè)游戲表演比賽，我和我最好的朋友卡拉都十分喜歡這個(gè)比賽。卡拉想象力豐富，我的歷史知識(shí)很好，我們都認(rèn)為自己是參賽的最佳隊(duì)員。幾天后，校長(zhǎng)高迪召集對(duì)這個(gè)比賽感興趣的同學(xué)開(kāi)會(huì)，告訴我們參賽隊(duì)員五人，另外還有三名候補(bǔ)隊(duì)員。遺憾的是，有興趣參賽的學(xué)生數(shù)是這個(gè)數(shù)字的四倍多。大家一致同意通過(guò)比賽決定最終的參賽選手。昨天，高迪先生主持了比賽，一小會(huì)兒后，剩下我和好朋友卡拉競(jìng)爭(zhēng)最后一個(gè)職位了。比賽進(jìn)行到一半時(shí)，我觀察卡拉的表情，意識(shí)到她比我更想贏這場(chǎng)比賽。我故意落后一點(diǎn)，讓卡拉贏了比賽�？ɡ@勝時(shí)的表情彌補(bǔ)了我不是參賽隊(duì)員的遺憾。由于我是候補(bǔ)隊(duì)員，我依然能享受近距離觀賽的樂(lè)趣�？ɡ瓕⑹且晃皇謨�(yōu)秀的選手，我認(rèn)為讓我最好的朋友高興是一件正確的事。

1.此題考查名詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是凱拉有豐富的想象力，而我知道很多歷史知識(shí)，所以我們認(rèn)為我們都是這個(gè)隊(duì)優(yōu)秀的入選者。A.意為“入選者” B.成雙成對(duì)（多指一對(duì)男女） C.意為“領(lǐng)袖” D.意為“粉絲”“狂熱愛(ài)好者”故選A。

2.此題考查名詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是幾天以后，高迪先生召集每個(gè)對(duì)這個(gè)節(jié)目感興趣的人，舉行了一場(chǎng)會(huì)議。因?yàn)檫@是個(gè)比賽，有選擇項(xiàng)的提示可知A是課程，B是工作，C是旅游，D是表演故選D。

3.此題考查名詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是所以，高迪先生說(shuō)，我們之間要有一場(chǎng)競(jìng)賽，進(jìn)球而得分的前八名隊(duì)員將成為正式隊(duì)員和替補(bǔ)隊(duì)員。有選擇項(xiàng)的提示可知A是方向，B是討論，C是競(jìng)賽D是談話，故選擇C。

4.此題考查形容詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是每個(gè)人都認(rèn)為這個(gè)決定方法很公平。有選擇項(xiàng)的提示可知A,special,特殊的. B,hard,艱難的。D,funny,滑稽的。均不符合題意。選擇C。

5.此題考查名詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是兩三個(gè)小時(shí)過(guò)后，在這個(gè)隊(duì)的所有的位置都已經(jīng)確定——除了一個(gè)需要的是名額，故選A。

6.此題考查動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是凱拉和我爭(zhēng)取這個(gè)名額，我必須進(jìn)行在我們倆個(gè)之間一對(duì)一的決賽了。此題可用排除法。B,clapped,拍手。C,，cried,哭。D,returned，返回。很顯然都不符合題意。A,tied,綁，系。這里指兩人一起參賽，爭(zhēng)最后一個(gè)位置。

9.此題考查動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是所以，從我的下一個(gè)問(wèn)題著手，我猶豫不決，然后讓凱拉獲勝——僅僅有一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。考查的固定句型結(jié)構(gòu)let sb do sth故選D

10.此題考查動(dòng)詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是她的表現(xiàn)使她參加這個(gè)比賽會(huì)彌補(bǔ)我不在這個(gè)隊(duì)伍的損失。故選B。

11.此題考查現(xiàn)在分詞，根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知此句的含義是我是在作弊么？因?yàn)槲覜](méi)有盡我所能地去努力。我認(rèn)為不。故選D。表示作弊。

考點(diǎn)：記事類(lèi)的閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng)：完形填空的基礎(chǔ)是閱讀，應(yīng)借助上下文完成整篇文章的理解，因此要有語(yǔ)篇理解能力，具體做法可以分為三步，第一：通讀全篇，弄懂整篇說(shuō)的什么，作者想要表達(dá)的意思。第二：將合適的詞填上去，注意：沒(méi)把握的詞堅(jiān)決不填。第三：再讀全篇，解決余下問(wèn)題。平時(shí)要多看閱讀練習(xí)培養(yǎng)語(yǔ)感，完型的話先看完整篇，再根據(jù)理解去填空，閱讀題先看題目再帶著問(wèn)題去看文章，這些方法都可以事半功倍

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend too much time thinking about the future-for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

閱讀短文，按要求完成各題。
If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals(信號(hào)). If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how thy are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case(假使) you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(語(yǔ)氣) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal(非語(yǔ)言的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too. Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.
Facial expression is one of the body languages. Facial expressions are one or more movements on a person’s face, such as frowning(皺眉)，raising your eyebrows and rolling(旋轉(zhuǎn)) your eyes. Scientists say that humans have 80 muscles(肌肉) on their faces. These muscles can make 7.000 different facial expressions. These expressions can be put into six classes. They are happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear and disgust(厭惡)。
For example, when people think a certain food tastes disgusting, they usually make a funny face. When people are surprised, they often raise their eyebrows and open their eyes wide.
If people can read facial expressions correctly, they may be better at knowing other people’s feelings. That can help people make more friends. However, sometimes people have to be careful when reading others’ faces. It’s rude to stare at others for a long time.
【小題1】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子（每空限填一個(gè)單詞）。
From the first paragraph of the passage, we know that          your eyes         your body language signals are great tools in daily communication.
【小題2】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成句子（每空限填一個(gè)單詞）。
From the second paragraph of the passage, the numbers mentioned are to show the       
         body language.
【小題3】根據(jù)短文回答問(wèn)題。
According to the passage, how many classes of facial expressions do you know? What are they?                       
                                                                       
【小題4】把短文中畫(huà)底線的句子譯成漢語(yǔ)。
                                                                        
【小題5】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容用一個(gè)完整的英文句子（限10詞以?xún)?nèi)）回答問(wèn)題。
What is the writer’s opinion on the body language?
