【解析】

有句古老的西班牙諺語(yǔ)：明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天。有多少次我們?cè)褖?mèng)想托付給明天？作者認(rèn)為夢(mèng)想不應(yīng)等待，也經(jīng)不起等待。因?yàn)槲磥?lái)并不確定，要實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想就要立刻采取實(shí)際行動(dòng)。作者陳述了為什么我們應(yīng)該立刻就追求自己夢(mèng)想的原因。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文“I’d say, too many.”可知，前文應(yīng)是一個(gè)問(wèn)句。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)的意思可知，選擇How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow？有多少次我們?cè)褖?mèng)想托付給明天？符合文意。故選C。

【2】小標(biāo)題選擇。本段主要敘述現(xiàn)在就做出追逐夢(mèng)想的決定，因?yàn)槊魈觳灰欢ǖ絹?lái)，我們真正擁有的是今天。故本段的標(biāo)題應(yīng)為B項(xiàng)：Tomorrow is not promised．明天不一定到來(lái)。符合文意。故選B項(xiàng)。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)下文的句子Take control of your own happiness. Don’t keep your dreams waiting. Go after them today! 控制自己的幸福。不要讓你的夢(mèng)想等待。今天去追他們！可知，上文應(yīng)該提到阻止幸福的原因是什么。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)的意思可知，選擇The only thing that is stopping you is yourself. 唯一阻止你的是你自己。符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)When I was nine, I found an ad for selling greeting cards in a children’s magazine. 當(dāng)我九歲的時(shí)候，我在一家兒童雜志上找到了一個(gè)賣賀卡的廣告�？芍�，這是以自己為例，來(lái)舉例說(shuō)明問(wèn)題。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)的意思可知，選擇Take me for example.

以我為例。符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Three hours later, returned home with no card but a lot of money. 三個(gè)小時(shí)后，他回到家里，除了很多錢，沒有卡片�？芍�，下文應(yīng)該說(shuō)明這樣做的結(jié)果是什么。結(jié)合所給的選項(xiàng)的意思可知，選擇A salesperson was born. 一個(gè)推銷員誕生了。符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。

怎樣才能做對(duì)英語(yǔ)的補(bǔ)全短文

1、做題總思路：

　 從分析題型知道，它只不過(guò)是要找出各選項(xiàng)在原文的出處而已，并且這個(gè)出處已經(jīng)確定了5個(gè)填充處給予選擇。

　　針對(duì)這類題的要求和特點(diǎn)，我們可以運(yùn)用綜合分析排除法來(lái)選出正確的答案：一是不“符合語(yǔ)法知識(shí)”的排除，二是不“符合邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)”的排除，三是不能使填充處“前后內(nèi)容銜接、意思連貫”的排除。因此，做這類題的重點(diǎn)，一是選項(xiàng)句子，而選項(xiàng)句子重點(diǎn)是它的中心詞，包括：名詞、代詞和連接詞，這三種詞是我們必須重視的，也是我們了解該選項(xiàng)句子意思，運(yùn)用上述三種方法的前提，二是填充處的前后段或前后句子，弄清楚這個(gè)填充處所在位置的意義以及其前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系和內(nèi)容意思，也是運(yùn)用上述方法的前提。

2、做題步驟：

（1）第一步：找出各選項(xiàng)句子中心詞：名詞、代詞和連接詞，了解這句子的大概意思（要該選項(xiàng)中劃出其中心詞并簡(jiǎn)要寫其大意）。建議：如果有點(diǎn)英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)，在做這一步之前最好快速游覽一個(gè)全文，了解全文大概是講什么的。然后，根據(jù)各選項(xiàng)句子的大概意思，初步設(shè)想一下它們最有可能的位置和彼此順序。

（2）第二步：按順序了解某一個(gè)填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系和大概內(nèi)容意思。這也是類似找中心句子與中心詞的方法，找出前后段最接近填充處的句子的中心詞（名詞、代詞和連接詞），或者找出填充處前后句子的中心詞，了解其大概意思和相互間的邏輯關(guān)系。

（3）第三步：把選項(xiàng)句子中心詞及其大意與填充處前后段或前后句子的邏輯關(guān)系及大意進(jìn)行對(duì)照，運(yùn)用下述的做題技巧，綜合分析排除，確定最有可能的選項(xiàng)或直接確定答案；并把確定了的答案劃去和把最有可能的選項(xiàng)（A、B、C…）寫到填充處，無(wú)論能否確定答案，都要接著往下做下一個(gè)填空處，以如類推。因?yàn)檫@類題是5選5，基本上是一個(gè)蘿卜一個(gè)筐，每個(gè)選項(xiàng)最多只能用一次，并且都必須用上，所以，不能確定最后唯一答案時(shí)，基本上可以通過(guò)做其它的填充處，甚至到最后把所有的填充處綜合起來(lái)推敲，也可以確定各填充處的答案，因此，不要急于求成，困死在某一個(gè)填充處上。

（4）第四步：利用綜合分析排除法，最后理順并最終確定各選項(xiàng)的所有位置。確定了所有答案后，把各選項(xiàng)對(duì)號(hào)入座，進(jìn)行檢查和印證。

【題目】We all know China is a nation with a very long history and ancient culture. Its people are known as the most hospitable people in the world. If you visit a Chinese family, you will be surprised at the warmth that you receive as a guest.

Firstly, you will feel comfortable with their greetings. For example, “Are you busy these days?”, “How are things going on with you?”, “How’s your trip here?” etc. Then they will serve you with tea and snacks.

During the meal, the guest must be the first one to pick up the food. The host will pick food for the guest, which is impolite in the west. But this is a very Chinese way to show their warmth.

After the meal, they will go on chatting again with tea and snacks. In the end, when you’re about to leave, they will ask you to stay longer again and again. A perfect entertainment(招待) will be over by the whole family seeing you off.

【題目】閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問(wèn)題。

Would you like to go on a festival that is partly cut off from modern life? Do you want to visit a place where people still have a strong sense of local traditions? Let me introduce a festival that will meet your needs. The festival, called Up Helly Aa, is held in the Shetland Islands ,just off the coast of Scotland.

Many years ago, many of the Shetland Islands had days to celebrate the time when winter began to move towards spring. The early festivals had bonfires(篝火) and involved the whole neighborhood. They were quite dangerous. In one festival, barrels of burning tar (焦油 ) were pulled through the streets. Tar is very sticky and burns easily. Often, the barrels turned over as they were pulled along. The tar poured out, still burning, and houses on the street caught fire and burned down！So. in the early 1800s, the festivals were stopped.

But in 1877, Up Helly Aa started again. It was based on the early fire festivals. It is held about the same time every year, on the last Tuesday in January. The people who organized the first Up Helly Aa wanted to remind people that the festival was "traditional". So they used a Viking image(肖像) , which the early festival did not do. A wooden copy of a Viking ship is pulled through the streets and then burned on a huge bonfire. Men pull the ship through the streets with ropes. More men stand in lines on each side of the roads, holding burning sticks. All of them dress up as Vikings.

All the local people come to Up Helly Aa. But people come from all over the world to watch , too. Only local men can make the ship, pull it through the streets or hold the burning sticks. Women can't take part in this part of the festival , not even the local women. Anyone can go to watch, though.

Once the ship has been burned, there are lots of parties that go on all night. The women have been busy getting the parties ready all day. Everyone in the neighborhood , men, women and children, can go to the parties. There is lots of food and drinks. Often people sing and dance until early the next morning. So no one gets much sleep

【1】Where do people have the festival?

【2】When is the festival held every year?

【3】What is pulled through the streets and burned on bonfires?

【4】What do people do at the parties?

【5】What's the passage mainly about?
