16.A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store's(1)Bcounter,an attractive young woman said,"I want to buy this material for a new dress.How much does it cost?"
"Only one(2)Aper yard,"replied the smirking (自鳴得意的) male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the funny words,the woman said,"That's fine!I'll take ten yards."
With(3)C  written all over his face,the clerk hurriedly(4)A  out and wrapped the cloth,and then held it out teasingly,leaning forward to receive his"(5)B".
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old(6)B  standing beside her."Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,"she(7)A.
He was no doubt disappointed.But in the course of living,many people are(8)B when others do not(9)Atheir expectations.In order to be happy,some expectations must be dropped.These three particular(10)Dand unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1.Expect too much(11)A.When others say,"Thank you,"or in any way to show their gratitude,be happy.It is a gift!
2.Expect others to make you happy.They simply cannot do that.Make yourself happy and
(12)Byour joy with others.
3.Expect no to be(13)B.At times,people will simply not come through for you in the way you need.(14)Athem and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more(15)Aright away!

分析 本文是一篇教育文化類(lèi)閱讀,在文中,作者先是講述了一個(gè)小故事以此來(lái)證明在人們中普遍存在的這種現(xiàn)象,然后指出人們思想中的三種不現(xiàn)實(shí)不健康的期望,建議人們?nèi)绻胍_(kāi)心快樂(lè),就要擯棄這些不現(xiàn)實(shí)不該有的期望,那么幸?鞓(lè)馬上就會(huì)到來(lái).

解答 1-5:BACAB  6-10:BABAD    11-15:ABBAA
1.B聯(lián)系下文.根據(jù)后文I want to buy this material for a new dress.可知我想買(mǎi)一條新裙子.由此可知,我來(lái)到了百貨公司的衣服(cloth)柜臺(tái).故選B.
2.A名詞辨析.A 吻;B工資,薪水;C 美元;D 美分.文章中心是講人們不要有不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望,由此推測(cè)男店員應(yīng)該是做出了超出常理的要求.故可以排除B,C,D選項(xiàng).句意:男店員自鳴得意的說(shuō)"僅僅一個(gè)吻一碼".故選A.
3.C名詞辨析.A 幸福;B愉快,樂(lè)趣;C期望;D勇氣.從上文可知女顧客答應(yīng)了店員的非份要求,所以此時(shí)店員是滿懷期待,臉上寫(xiě)滿了期望.故選C.
4.A語(yǔ)境辨析.根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知,空格處語(yǔ)意為:店員匆忙地量(measured)出布并且包好它.故選A.
5.B名詞辨析.A回報(bào);B支付,報(bào)償;C津貼,紅利;D錢(qián).從上文可知他斜著身子來(lái)接受她的"支付",支付這里指接受他應(yīng)得一吻.所以此處用"payment"表示女顧客該支付給他的東西,故選B.
6.B聯(lián)系下文辨析.根據(jù)下文Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me.可知她的爺爺將會(huì)為她付錢(qián).由此可知,這里指的是一個(gè)小老頭.故選B.
7.A動(dòng)詞辨析.A微笑;B 祈求;C 揮手;D想到.從故事可知女顧客自信成功而且不動(dòng)聲色得給了這個(gè)男店員一個(gè)教訓(xùn),所以此時(shí)應(yīng)該是優(yōu)雅得體得微笑著和男店員說(shuō)話.故選A.
8.B形容詞辨析.A受到鼓勵(lì)的;B失望的;C惱火的;D驚訝的.文章開(kāi)頭首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.就講了人們因?yàn)椴滑F(xiàn)實(shí)的期望而容易失望,然后用文中的小故事來(lái)作為例證,所以此處應(yīng)該是失望的.故選B.
9.A動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析.A 不辜負(fù);B 違背;C 沒(méi)有…而勉強(qiáng)應(yīng)付;D希望.從上文的故事和后面作者的建議可知,人們是因?yàn)閯e人不能滿足或者達(dá)不到自己的期望而失望,live up to one's expectations意思是"達(dá)到某人期望,不辜負(fù)某人期望".故選A.
10.D形容詞辨析.A合理的;B恰當(dāng)?shù);C不重要的;D不現(xiàn)實(shí)的.從上下文可知作者在文中提到的就是人們因?yàn)椴滑F(xiàn)實(shí)的期望和不該有的期望而感到失望,如文章首句A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.和文章末句Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations.故選D.
11.A名詞辨析.A利潤(rùn);B吻;C感激,欣賞;D失望.從上文可知此處是作者指出的不該有的期望,所以當(dāng)你幫助了別人時(shí),不要期望得到回報(bào),不要期望因你幫助了別人而獲益.故選A.
12.B動(dòng)詞辨析.A 抽出,勻出;B分享,分擔(dān);C使得,制作;D控制.從詞的搭配上只有share與with搭配表示"與…分享,分擔(dān)"的意思.此處是指要讓自己快樂(lè),并且要把快樂(lè)與別人分享.故選B.
13.B動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析.A放下;B讓人失望;C寫(xiě)下,拿下;D扔下.文章說(shuō)的是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望是讓人失望的根源,只有l(wèi)et down 意思符合語(yǔ)境,句意:期望別人不要讓自己失望.故選B.
14.A動(dòng)詞辨析.A忘記;B懲罰;C責(zé)怪;D表?yè)P(yáng).從上文可知作者建議人們要放棄那些不切實(shí)際的希望,所以對(duì)于沒(méi)能按照你心意和需要做事的人要忽略掉,忘記掉,這樣才可以使自己開(kāi)心快樂(lè).故選A.
15.A名詞辨析.A 幸福,快樂(lè);B 鼓勵(lì);C 刺激,興奮;D 驕傲.文章中心就是講人們要為了開(kāi)心快樂(lè),而必須放棄不現(xiàn)實(shí)的期望.故選A.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 在完成這樣的文章的時(shí)候,要理清文章的脈絡(luò).答題前一定要讀懂全文,弄清文章要表達(dá)的思想,注意前后段落之間的關(guān)系.答題中,一定要認(rèn)真分析,注意選項(xiàng)與上下文的關(guān)系,與前后單詞的關(guān)系.對(duì)于一時(shí)沒(méi)有太大的把握的題可以放到最后再來(lái)完成,因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)答案可以從下文內(nèi)容體現(xiàn)出來(lái).答完后再通讀一篇文章,看看所選選項(xiàng)能不能是語(yǔ)句通順,語(yǔ)意連貫.

11.How to Protect Yourself from Hackers Online
An increase in cyber-attacks (網(wǎng)絡(luò)攻擊) makes the Internet seem like a scary place these days.How can individuals protect or make it more difficult for hackers to access their information?Here are several tips that can help you protect against cyber-attacks:
(36)C
Hard passwords include upper and lower case letters,numbers and special characters.They should be at least eight characters in length.They should also not spell out words easy for hackers to find,like your pet's name or the name of a family member.
Change your password regularly
A very common mistake made by users is to create one hard password,but then never change it.Remembering a long list of complicated passwords can be difficult.But no password is unbreakable.Hackers are better able to hack multiple accounts if those accounts all have the same password.A password management service,like Dashlane or PasswordBox,can help you keep track of hard passwords.(37)B
Clear your browser (瀏覽器) history
This goes for all the devices you use in a day-your home computer,your work computer,or your friend's iPad.Internet browsers like Firefox or Chrome keep track of where you've been and what you've done online.They keep records of every site you visited.(38)FIt is very easy for anyone who sees that information to steal a detailed record of your online activities.
Do not use free Wi-Fi
(39)EOften,a user does not need a password to connect to these wireless networks.These services might be useful,but they're also an easy way for hackers to access everything on your device.
Use anti-virus protection
There are many anti-virus services available for users.(40)DSome anti-virus services are even free.They are a great way to have a professional help keeping users one step ahead of hackers.

A.Be careful while using thumb drive.
B.These services permit users to easily store and secure their passwords.
C.Make your password harder to hack.
D.They can offer many different types of computer protection.
E.An increasing number of public places now offer free wireless access to the Internet.
F.Information about what you sent from or saved on your computer can be kept for days or weeks.

Forgiveness is the act of    (54)B   an emotional debt.This does not mean you're in a situation    (55)A you don't feel pain or regret.But being   (56)D   to these feelings for a long period of time  is not healthy.At some time of our life,you may have been severely  (57)A  0r hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems  (58)D.Under such a circumstance,you should force yourself to think in a positive way.By doing so,you will be able to change the focus away from the   (59)B.

8.[1]The year 2008 has one extra day in it-February 29th.Well,it actually takes the planet Earth a little more than 365 days to revolve completely around the sun.After four years an extra 24 hours have accumulated so an extra day is added to the calendar.
[2]It is called a leap year because hundreds of years ago in England,the extra day wasn't legally recognized.The British just leapt over that day.Therefore a year with 29 days in February is consequently called a leap year and that 29th day is sometimes called Leap Day.If you are born on 29th February in a leap year,there are difficulties in celebrating your birthday.So people tend to celebrate on either 28th February or 1st March every year.
[3]There is a well-known tradition in the UK associated with 29th February,introduced many centuries ago.Women are allowed to break with tradition and propose (求婚)to their boyfriends on this day.This all started back in the 5th Century,when a famous Irish saint,Bridget,complained to Saint Patrick,another famous Irish saint,that women had to wait too long for men to propose.
According to the legend,Saint Patrick said any female longing for a proposal could ask their boyfriend to marry them on this additional day in February.
[4]Now in 2008,there are calls for 29th February to become a public holiday.Some people believe that it should be an official day off,because no one gets paid for working in a leap day.For the moment though,the British still have to go to work on this day.

76.How long does it take the planet Earth to revolve completely around the sun?(no more than 9 words)365 days and 6 hours
77.What does the word"them"(Line 6,Paragraph 3)probably refer to?(no more than 3 words)females/women/girlfriends
78.Should a leap day be a day on or off?Give your reason.(no more than 18 words)
I think it should be officially off because no pay is given for that day's work
79.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 1 with proper words.(no more than 6 words)You may wonder why./Why does this happen(come about)
80.What is the main idea of the text?(no more than 8 words)The year 2008 has one extra/more day..
